Terry O'Leary - Lost Love Deliria lyrics

AWAKENING Sleep and slumber, dreams of wonder... weaving, morning's vacuum broke the spell Pitted pillow, note of parting... leaving, 'from your friend, a fond farewell' Sunrise throbbing, twilight aching... grieving, daydreams, flashbacks, nightmares knell Pale phantasms, visions sneaking... thieving, plot to fill the empty shell 12 DELIRIA 1st Delirium: Collapses Fractured sky bolts, billows bursting... rumbling, heavens tighten, turn the vise Horsemen saddle shafts of lightning... tumbling, jagged highways must suffice Ruptured skyways, hailstones crackling... crumbling, naked pearls of paradise Toxic tongues of laughter stinging... stumbling, ocean buckets choked with ice Droplets drumming, thunder muzzled... mumbling, washed out whispers pay the price Smothered blazes, cinders smoking... humbling, ashes shaped in sacrifice 2nd Delirium: Descents Asphalt alleys, ashen faces... frowning, blowing bubbles, chewing gum Drinking ale from tavern tankards... downing, moonlit beads of painted rum Stony stars and sea misshapen... drowning, humble rivers' rhythms hum Apparitions aspirating... clowning, diamonds dying, minstrels strum Incandescent candles conquered... crowning, vacant vapours, cold and numb 3rd Delirium: Fates Tempest turmoil, tapered turrets... holding, dungeons, dragons, chains and racks Wheels of fortune, Tarot temptress... molding, Hangmen, Towers, One Eyed Jacks Sand dune castles, cryptic candles... folding, warping walls of liquid wax Idols colder, combed and coddled... scolding, hide in fissures, peek through cracks 4th Delirium: Lost Souls Sunken cities, pilgrims peering... gawking, squinting eyeballs, blazing sun Jan*s facing, shepherds chasing... stalking, friends embrace before they shun Tearooms steaming, tumult teeming... talking, lovers listen, poets pun Broken stones unanchored, quaking... rocking, slipping, falling, one by one Beaten pathways, footsteps marking... mocking, wedged in webs which spiders spun Circus shelters, big tops tumbling... locking, people pacing, soon they're none Numbered exits, zeros numbing... knocking, midnight daylight's days undone Moon blood shackles, shivers shaming... shocking, starlight striders streaking, stun Hushed but harried hermits waiting... walking, restless rainbows on the run Pixies, elves, and echoes bouncing... balking, fading fast when dawn's begun Bantum bu*terflies are flitting... flocking sometimes conquered, overrun Hocus pokus, seers focus... squawking, voodoo wavered, witchcraft won 5th Delirium: Introspection Sundown furnace, fires fading... coughing, dusky dew drops drain the air Empty chalice, sipped in silence... quaffing, thirsting shadows unaware Looking gla** and lattice scorning... scoffing, local loser gapes and stares Faces covered, dancing naked... doffing, peering inside, hope despairs 6th Delirium: The Void Tales of taboos, mystic mythos... missing, windows shuttered, bolted door Kindled candles, tongues and anvils... hissing, heavy hammers, echoes roar Dark deceivers, raven charmers... kissing, draging demons from the shore Hopeless hollows filled with doubters... dissing standing empty - nevermore 7th Delirium: Searching Martyred monks haunt runic ruins... waiting, banging broken bells below Vaulted hallways, voided voices... grating, churning Chinese chimes aglow Granite graveyards, spectres spooking... skating, blackened bushes, roses grow Midget dwarfs seek mutant migrants... mating, packing parcels, ice and snow 8th Delirium: Nighttime Throbbing drumheads, fingers blazing... steaming, coins of copper, beggars plea Rusty residues of resin... streaming, opal amber filigree Orphan shades in shallow shadows... teeming, steeping twigs in twilight tea Cloister doorsteps, Prophets gaming... scheming, tracing tracks of destiny Blacksmiths blanching, horseshoes glowing... gleaming, partially sheathed in black debris Phantoms feigning, nightmares scathing... screaming, dusty dreamers drifting free 9th Delerium: Emptyness Water wheels in wastelands... turning, drowning relics in the slum Rumpled rags of fashioned burlap... burning, lit by bandits blind and dumb Pastured prisons, ponies bridled... yearning, forest fairies under thumb Sounds inside of cauldrons coughing... churning, blaring bugles, tattooed drum 10th Delirium: Alienation Rain unravelling, wistfully weeping... falling, treacle trickling, fickle sky Mushrooms sprinkled, visions sprouting... sprawling, seagulls drowning, dolphins die Rabble gasping, spirits broken... crawling, lonely lonesome swallows cry Babbling brooks and breakers ebbing... bawling puppies paddle, puppets sigh People pa**ing ripple past me... calling, rainbow colours, collars high Chaos seething, lepers looting... stalling, stealing stallions on the sly Pencils pausing, scholars scrambling... scrawling, scratching scribbles, asking why 11th Delirium: Jetsam Silver sails sway pallid pirates... prowling, Jolly Rogers, wind and sound Parrots perching, tattered feathers... fouling, tethered talons, tied and bound Shipwrecked foghorns, trumpets stranded... howling, spiral springs of time unwound Magic moonlight, shimmers shaking... scowling, burnt out matchsticks washed aground Prairie wolfs, coyotes calling... yowling, witching hours, midnight hounds Tightrope walkers, grizzlies grunting... growling, seeking islands, lost and found 12th Delirium: Relief Slumber shattered, vapours captive... haunting, chained in mirrors, breaking free Scarlet skylines, daylight dawning... daunting, rivers rushing to the sea Silence softens, sandmen whisper... wanting, piercing rafters, turning keys Shadows shudder, notions fluster... flaunting, moonbeam bullets meant for me Mind in migraine, meadows trembling... taunting, sparrows speak in harmony REAWAKENING Pitter patter, teardrops paling... pearling, salting scarves in secret drawers Mist amongst us, smoke rings rising... curling, climbing from the ocean floors See-saw circles, senses swerving... swirling, swept away with silver oars Courtyard jesters, sceptres twisting... twirling, push the past to foreign shores Pa**ing pangs of pa**ions heaving... hurling, burning bridges, closing doors Roses wither, icons waning... whirling, time decays and time restores
