One Soul
That was a time I'd sit and watch People passing by Without a thought
That was a place Where I'd never go I'd see all the people And I had to know
What to do What to do Oh, what to do?
That was a place Where I'd walk away I'd see all the things I couldn't change
That was a time Where I'd always feel I'd see all the people I couldn't heal
What to do What to do Oh, what to do?
Only one soul Without control Oh, oh, oh What to do?
One soul without control One soul without control
One soul without control One soul without control
He is holy He is the one He brings goodness His kingdom comes
He is righteous He is the king He is mighty My soul is his
One soul touched by light One soul given might
One soul armed with right One soul wins the fight
Now is a time When I understand Now that the power Is in my hand
Here is a place Where you can go I'll guide you here Now that I know
What to do What to do Oh, what to do!
I will love I will devote Oh, oh, oh Give them hope[Listen][Top][Outline][Contact Robestone][Home]
Someone Strong
I see a man standing in the rain
His filthy hand reaching out in shame
Feel the rain fall
I see a man filled with pain
A wretched life of sin and blame
Feel the pain fall on his soul
Pain in his soul
Don't let the rain slow you down
Don't let the wind blow you around
Warm your frozen heart
With the help of someone strong
With the help of someone strong
I see a man standing tall
A man that was picked up from his fall
Feel the pride return
I see a man with a life that's full
He changed his heart and cleansed his soul
Feel the joy return to his soul
Joy in his soul
Don't let the pain slow you down
Don't let the crowd throw you around
Wash your aching wounds
In the love of someone strong
In the love of someone strong
In the love of someone strong

Children of the DayCrawling weakness Crying speechless
Crouching beaten Cursing bleeding
Children of the day People of the land I will take command
Doomed by greed Decaying need
Destined to die Defeated cry
Children of the day People of the land I will take command
He is mighty and He is king Who brings destruction to all living things
Lord of shadow Bound by fate Teach his anger breathe out his hate
Scream his anguish Beat his breast Spread the darkness till all embrace death
Lifting off I touch the night
My wings explode In vicious flight
Beyond your reach Beyond your sight
Children of the day Blinded by the sun Midnight has come
Cutting down A silver knife
Splits the air In a breathless dive
And plunges to Eternal life
Children of the day Blinded by the sun Midnight has come
The weaker the people The greater the pain
The stronger the people The longer the reign
Fighting heartless Finding darkness
Fall in slumber Feed our hunger
Children of the day Crawling on the floor I declare war

A Lover UnknownA lover unknown Stepping in silence
Drifting in dreams Walking in whisper
Looking never seeing
A lover unknown A shadow of secret
Follow her path Watching her vanish
Seeing never reaching
A lover unknown Feeling the danger
Wanting to run Hide from her hunger
Reaching never touching
Reach me Touch me
Touch me Feel me
A lover forbidden
Wonderful and beautiful and hidden
She's still unknown
A lover unknown Feeling the danger
Recklessly stay For this unholy stranger
Touching never feeling
A lover unknown Eyes seeing darkness
Skin touching night Lips kissing shadow
Feeling not believing
A lover unknown Singing her secret
Wanting her words Needing her whisper
Believing never asking
Am I dreaming?

Beautiful DayThe world is filled with pain And the sky is dark and gray
The sky isn't clear But the clouds will blow away
Although it surely will rain The darkness won't stay
The sky isn't clear, but even so I always know it's a beautiful day
Whispering to me Calling through me
A gentle breeze Calls me to my knees
The sun shines down And it warms the ground
(On the calmest day as you drift away)
With gentle beams In this sunny dream
(When the friendly sky fills with glowing light)
The skies aren't clear, but even so I still know it's a beautiful day
Blowing loudly Misty and cloudy
Through the haze I sing my praise
In the blackest nights When the darkness strikes
(In the fiercest storm when you're all alone)
The winds rejoice In their crashing voice
(When the angry sky sends a flash of light)
In the blackest nights When the darkness strikes
In the fiercest storm When you're all alone
Just understand and try to see Try to see it's a beautiful day
Whispering to you Calling through you
To live a new way In this beautiful new day
When the world is cloaked in night The pain will fade away
The morning will come And the darkness will blow away
The world will shine with light While people still sing and pray
The sky isn't clear, but even so I always know it's a beautiful day
A beautiful day[Listen][Top][Outline][Contact Robestone][Home]
Sunlight Breaks Your HeartMorning day breaks your heart
Breaks your heart away
Daylight comes and breaks your heart
Daylight breaks
Breaks your heart away
Day Breaks away
Morning sun tears your heart
Tears your heart apart
Sunlight comes and tears your heart
Sunlight tears
Tears your heart apart
Sunlight apart
When the morning comes You turn and run
Hide your face From the burning sun
Sunlight breaks your heart
Evening sun sets my tears
Tears of love for you
Sunlight fades and falls like tears
Sunlight falls
Falls like tears for you
Sunset tears fall
Tears crying for the day
Tears crying for the night
Hearts breaking in the dark
Hearts breaking in the light
Sunlight breaks your heart
Sun sets under the ocean Moon rises over the land
Sun rise Sun set You fly I'll forget And I try to understand
Sun rise Sun set You fly I'll forget Will I ever understand
Sunlight breaks your heart

Sweetest MarySweetest Mary, beautiful girl
Take me away from the world
Your kind eyes Your warm heart
Your strong hands Your safe arms
Tears of love Tears
Sweetest Mary, beautiful face
Take me away from this place
Beautiful Mary / Beautiful Mary
Sweetest girl, sitting on a throne
With eyes of glass and hands of stone
What about flesh and bone?
Mary, deep in your prayers
Take me away from my cares
Mother Mary / Sweetest Mary
Choices, changing, rearranging
Meeting, leaving, ever grieving
I closed my eyes for a lover unknown
And darkest night eclipsed the sun
Mary, I've turned away
Please forgive my sins, I pray
Leaving Mary / I'm leaving Mary
Sweetest girl, sitting on a throne
With eyes of glass and hands of stone
What about flesh and bone?
Mary / Mary / Mary
Mother Mary, friend to God, why do choices have to be so hard?
Sweetest Mary, sweetest friend, I still have to leave you in the end.
I'm leaving / I'm leaving

Embrace Me TonightDarkness faces you Embraces you gracefully
Anxiously tracing Thoughts and dreams of me
Sleeping in silence Blinded to violence
Guiding minds and senses Through prayers so intense
Breathing in spaces weaving Dreaming of places grieving
With you erases fears And tears
No pretenses here Keeping you near
I'll watch over your dream Soften your scream, a queen
Fearing to sing to a king
Embrace the lonely darkness Embrace my vision of warmth
Embrace the cruelty Embrace the beauty
Embrace me tonight Embrace me - embrace me tonight
Tonight, tonight
A weathered crown Adorns your brow
A halo as you Soar above the clouds
Souls torn Mourn alone
Near enough to believe The dream won't leave
Beaten and defeated, asleep You whisper my name - please
Silence the rain - ease The pain
The nightmare fell Casting its spell
The cowering saint has no Power or strength to save
The night or banish the day
Embrace the union of minds Embrace my longing for life
Embrace the anger Embrace the midnight song
Embrace me tonight Embrace me - embrace me tonight
Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight

SadnessSadness sings to the bravest children
Sorrow holds the strongest hands
Loneliness whispers to the kindest woman
Despair sits next to the wisest man
Touched by sadness Filled with sorrow Wondering if you'll ever see tomorrow
Lonely feelings Bring despair Looking up for someone who might care
Sickness hides in a field of flowers
Hunger waits on a sandy shore
Pain echoes through marble canyons
Death will rise from the ocean floor
Touched by sickness Hunger and thirst Needing to escape the bitter curse
Painful feelings Afraid to die Without a friend to hear your final cry
Sadness why do you come?
When death is what we're running from
Pride looks through stained glass windows
Anger walks down guarded halls
Hatred knocks on padlocked doors
Fear tears down iron walls
Clutched by pride Too angry to feel Needing time to let the darkness heal
Hated people Are afraid to live And of losing everything they have to give
Poverty reflects in silver mirrors
Oppression sits on an emerald throne
Famine is drunk from a ruby goblet
War will wear a golden crown
Clutched in poverty And oppression's grasp Without a chance to break out of the caste
Famished people Scream for war Bringing sadness like we've felt before
Sadness why do you come?
When death is what we're running from
Mother daughter Father son Your life of sadness has begun

Factory ManFactory man Factory made Works with his hands Tools of the trade
Factory hate Working too long Staying out late Feeling so wrong
After work he's drinking Till he's barely thinking
Beats his wife who's crying Family life is dying
The love is gone From his face He wants out Of this place
Happiness in fleeting When your heart is barely beating
Who is worth saving? Who deserves breaking?
Factory man When you've been hurt Then you will see You're as worthless as dirt
Running cannot hide you Wings of night will find you
Slam the door Turn the key Lock yourself In with me
Happiness in fleeting When your heart is barely beating
Who is worth saving? Who deserves breaking?
Factory man Breathing in gasps Part of my plan Now in my grasp
Fear in his eyes He barely can see I've hypnotized And bound him to me
Tear his flesh Rip his veins Crush his bones With my fangs
Lifting off Taking flight Hopeless soul Touch the night

When You LoveSlipping softly through the moss on the mountain side
Crawl through a cavern of cobweb and gloom
Sputtering shadows cower to candle flame
Arriving for love but arriving at doom
Crouching over, she cradled the man
Holding on to his weakening hands
Washing all the blood off of his face
Like the Samaritan did one day
The look in her eyes alerted me
I begged her to stop and let him free
But she bowed her head and clenched her teeth
Watching him die I couldn't believe
(chorus)
When you love and you have to break her heart
Your love was still reality
If you've loved but you ended up apart
Your love remains in memory
Clicking the lock free on wet wooden doors
Greeted by cold light from candlestick heat
Up three silver steps was the sanctified altar
She came here for love but I came for deceit
Dressed in robes, I ascended the stairs
And raised my arms high into the air
Holding my staff as she looked up at me
Like Moses waiting to part the sea
She saw in my eyes deadly intent
And promised the murdering would end
I tightened my grip and knew my part
As I buried my staff in her heart
(chorus)
Creaking between cold, cast iron grave gates
Pushing past moon mist that pulls at my breath
Tombstones tossed, lay sunken, scattered and shattered
A night meant for love a night ending in death
With her arms folded against the night
Her mouth set firm and her eyes shut tight
Nestled safely in the coffin's womb
Like Lazarus, four days in the tomb
Gripping the coffin, I slammed the lid
And lowered her down into the pit
The shadows pulled her into the dirt
And I left her there deep in the earth
(chorus)

Eternal LifeSoul of night Burning bright Shadow's wings near candle light
Sing her song Of weak and strong Where do spirits like hers belong?
Eternal Life Eternal Death One precious soul that failed the test
From the start Her empty heart Was destined to be torn apart
Far too late To turn her hate I sent her to an uncertain fate
Eternal Life Eternal Death Two hopeless souls will never be blessed
Suicide comes creeping
Through pain and fear and quiet
Wondering if I'll die
Screaming or weeping
My hopeless life Not redemptible
This wretched knife So contemptible
Suicide can't save me
Not sleep or dreams or death
Should end the living breath
That God himself once gave me
This misery Bears down on me A silver flash will cut me free
I'll enter night Past wrong and right When the two of us reunite
Eternal Life Eternal Death Reunited souls never finding rest

Two PeopleWhen two people Love each other
Timeless fears Are hid in shadow
Forever is a word For those alone in the dark
Together is a word For those who were torn apart
When two people Love each other
Sightless years pass away
Blinded in blackest day
Reaching out Without sight
Holding on In darkest night
When two people Love each other
Fiery passions Extinguish night
Forever is a word For those reaching out to touch
Together is a word Even when it burns so much
When two people Love each other
They'll never admit defeat
Engulfed in waves of heat
Burning bright Touch the flame
Forever lost In passion's name
We never stopped believing
We never gave up hope
And if we keep on reaching
We just might save our souls
We've wandered until we have found
Two souls eternally bound
Souls of two people Who love each other
Yearning spirits Clothed in white
Forever is a word For those with eternal life
Together is a word For those with souls of night
Souls of two people Who love each other!

The Journey of Two SoulsThe knife cut cold Through crimson heart He felt his soul Fade away
Surrounding shrouds Enclosed the dark In endless clouds Of deepest gray
He feels her near A vision clears He sees her weep In silent pain
The pit is deep She lies asleep Entombed in fear And binding chains
An ashen pair Of hollow hounds Eclipse the place Where she lies
With words that tear He strikes them down And shadows race To flee his cries
So from the lair Without a sound Through voided space The two souls rise
From dusk to day As glowing fumes Light their way To realms of flame
Their burning sins Are soon consumed And brand their skins In searing pain
These marks they bear Mock their prayers And bid them enter Gleaming lands
Down paths of embers Through the center Of golden flares A creature stands
So from his pyre The demon stirs Enfolds the two In a molten wall
To quench the fire Dark whispered words She speaks and soon She breaks the thrall
Then yearning higher Soft chords are heard They heed the tune Of heaven's call
Their journey ends They hear the song It soon transcends Thoughts of treason
Then drawing close They fear the throng Of heaven's host And seraph legions
At the holy gate They meet their fate By angels caught In prism cages
Their final thoughts Of things they sought Will radiate For endless ages
