Nocturnal poetry, Dressed in the whitest silver, you'd smile at me Every night I wait for my sweet Selene But, still... Solitude's upon my skin A life that's bound by the chains of reality Would you let me be your Endymion? I won't bathe in your moonlight, and slumber in peace Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep But until we unite I live for that night Wait for time Two souls entwine In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn Shadows, they will fade But I'm always in the shade Without you... Serene and silent sky Rays of moon are dancing with the tide A perfect sight, a world divine And I... The loneliest child alive Always waiting, searching for my rhyme I'm still alone in the dead of night Silent I lie with smile on my face, Appearance decieves and the silence betrays As I wait for the time My dream comes alive Always out of sight But never out of mind And under waning moon Still I long for you Alone against the light Solitude am I In the end, I'm enslaved by my dream In the end, there's no soul who'd bleed for me Hidden from daylight, I'm sealed in my cave Trapped in a dream that is slowly turning to a nightmare Where I'm all alone Venial is life when you're but a dream The book is still open, the pages as empty as me... I cling to a hope that's beginning to fade, Trying to break the desolation I hate But until we unite I live for that night Wait for time Two souls entwine In the break of new dawn My hope is forlorn We will never meet Only misery and me This is my final call My evenfall Drowning into time I become the night By the light of new day I'll fade away Reality cuts deep Would you bleed with me My Selene' This is a drawing for my favorite metal band, Sonata Arctica. I'm gonna send them the picture. It represents the song written by Jani, the guitarist himself, My selene. I really love this song. It's pretty much how I feel presently. (and for a long time to come now.) I finally decided to finish it today.. but I lost my pencil (the one perfect for the clouds) and that's why some of the clouds doesn't seem as polished as they normally should be. Anyway. I've been working on this one since july, I think. I don't remember. Done with 2HB, 4HB, 2B and 6B pencils. Artwork, Keith and Emily are © to me. Lyrics © Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica)
