Hand in hand she walks with me and the shame, it's burning my eyes etching each memory in time, just to be by her side her face carved deeply in innocence she walks and she secretly smiles taunting with a lover's grin and she laughs, and watches me die now we are here and there is no forgiveness empty words are the promises within without a passing thought, I shed my life to join them Eden is bruning and lovers delve in sin empty words are the promises within Eden is burning and lovers delve in sin hand in hand, we walk in shame mother is dying and we are to blame

Three 00:56
the ghost... I am... caresses reality the eye... you are.. devouring the light the blade... fate is... cuts deep in our silhouette into furrows of our last day

Dawn 04:18
Eyes closing, breathing life into your veins and then the morning rips you away torn my the scythe of dawn, she wields it with no shame eyes closing, you whisper words that bled the veil of dusk is tightly drawn light fading, it sets you free again unscathed by the hidden blade eyes closing, your hand begins to shiver slipping through my fingers torn by the thorns of wake as dawn gives birth to the naked sun eyes closing, breathing death into my veins this fleeting body finds you there where cloudlike creatures have no color I will always be with you in that place its hands enfolding the lithic skin hiding the stones uncovered by sleep in which the dream scatters the lie eyes closing, breathing death into my veins I will find you there

Remember 05:24
mirror reflects pools of water dripping timelessly from scars of a mortal coil the majestic garden wounded. shares her wisdom no longer and with this... I remember... birds of song now but ash and ember they lie silent amidst the vision of burning trees her eyes swollen spilling raindrops of blood treasures of life scorched and ravaged earthly seasons burned away a memory etched like a blackened scar on a shell of what once was beauty weak and fragile teardrops fill the pools of ice the taste of the poison filters through every ebony sunrise no light shines upon the ruins of what once was a wasteland some call home the naked season we call...

Flight 03:56
My empty eyes and weakened gaze, remove me from the sky sipping night and tasting tears, of stars that always cry the journey ends and paths unfold I danced with death and smiled I fear her kiss no longer for now I am her child if I should die before I wake, may sleep become my tomb let death become my muse, my bed within her womb my shaded eyes and sharpened gaze sipping light and tasting dreams my empty eyes and weakened gaze, remove me from the sky sipping night and tasting tears, of stars that always cry the journey ends and paths unfold I danced with death and smiled I fear her kiss no longer for now I am her child if I should die before I wake, may sleep become my tomb let death become my muse, my bed within her womb

you held me close, as I drowned your smile flickered and became a reflection I see the beauty in all things...
8.
Our mother is dying again coldly she stares at her kin, with no empathy she said you will remember me, all of me, and... none of me... with each sigh of pain... I give birth to you, now there is no time left... face fate... whitout me sculpting every shallow grin from the madness I now keep shame on us as we coil, and shed our skin The paralyzed wretch now clings to me working deep its needy fingers burrowing, nestling within the warmth of waning, feral flesh in hopes of sipping from the coveted chalice of cancer all to remind us of false comfort found within the arms of fate innocence wakes from brittle bones and sleep draws closer with each subtle breath pursed lips, cracked and swollen sip sweet milk from ivory breast nurturing the inevitable end, infant eyes peer and widen her womb laced with decay spews forth it's putrescence and so is born another fool... broken angels fall at our feet skeletal apparitions with eyeless sockets crawling and seething, weeping for mercy we eat their bodies, savor their flesh tasting their anguish so the misery can live on within us, passing from one to another the searing hatred thet now lines our skin I can feel your gaze on me, yet you always look away my eyes and my lips sewn shut, I forget that we are here if this is my Hell, then I carry you with me always
9.
burning water fills my breath your kisses steal, each whisper between every thread of life how gently death pierces me yet it mean nothing at all and it's so quiet now... shhhhhhhh and I fell from your touch and I withered and wisped away although my eyes are gone I still see you at a distance
10.
Eclipse 04:33
gleaming rays foreshadow the eclipse the boy in the box and the girl in the maze moonlit puppets cast no shadows the invisible water flows down their cheeks you call them teardrops. I call them wounds you call them teardrops, oh, but I call them wounds shivering echoes of paradise a lifetime stolen away, a fragment lost in eternity gleaming rays foreshadow the eclipse

My empty eyes and weakened gaze, remove me from the sky sipping night and tasting tears, of stars that always cry the journey ends and paths unfold I danced with death and smiled I fear her kiss no longer for now I am her child if I should die before I wake, may sleep become my tomb let death become my muse, my bed within her womb my shaded eyes and sharpened gaze sipping light and tasting dreams my empty eyes and weakened gaze, remove me from the sky sipping night and tasting tears, of stars that always cry the journey ends and paths unfold I danced with death and smiled I fear her kiss no longer for now I am her child if I should die before I wake, may sleep become my tomb let death become my muse, my bed within her womb

about

In 2004, after four years of silence, the band recorded the album "Eclipse", which is described, on the Autumn Tears Official Homepage, as "the most epic, conceptual, and fullest neoclassical piece of music they have ever offered. Lush strings, acoustic guitars, and woodwinds accompany soaring orchestral soundscapes, painting the backdrop for a staggering array of vocal performances that range from operatic and classical solos to Baltic choral passages and duets." In the Eclipse recording, Ted Tringo had invited new musicians to join Autumn Tears, such as the female vocalist Laurie Ann Haus (Todesbonden) which shared the female voices with Erika in almost all their tracks.
