Citadel for the Broken

by The Benjamin Gate

If I close my eyes I can still see
This night be light to me
Twist and turn in my weak soul
Search for Your coal to burn me

Nightglow, Nightglow
Nightglow, Nightglow

Though my eyes are tight
In a promise sealed
Your spirit sees for me
And I take Your hand my heart is Yours
To wonder in this land

Because of Your nightglow
I can see Your nightglow

It seems that I've fallen into the habit of posting lyrics or poems and the occasional rant or snide comment... well this isn't a song by Nightwish (some of you might be glad to know... ) It's a song by The Benjamin Gate called Rush... please excuse the fact that a small bit of the lyrics are missing, my apollogies... I'm afraid that I couldn't find it... Oh, and the Pslam that I put at the bottom is actually a part of the song.

Rush
I feel it in my fingers
Feel it rushing down my spine
Your love feeding life around me
Cleansing my sick mind

Your grace, Your grace
Your grace, Your grace
Oh, Jesus, Oh Jesus

I feel Your fire inside me
Feel it rushing through my blood
Your love breaking lies that bind me
A revolution deep in love

Come put Your head up in my heart
Come put Your head up
Come put Your head up in my heart
My heart, my heart

Oh, Jesus, Oh Jesus

Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsil of the wicked
Nor stand in the way of sinners
Nor sit in the seat of mockers
For his delight is in the law of the Lord On this law he meditates day and night
Whatever he does he prospers (Pslam 1:1)

Okay... this is actually a poem that I have recently written... I think it's pretty good, I guess.... I don't know how I'll feel about it in a month though. 'Cause right now, I'm trying to rewrite another poem of mine and it's frustrating mostly because I don't really think the rough draft is that great and I have an idea it's just taking a long while to come out.... Oh, well... this is actually a rough draft as well so, be nice.

Wedding Farewells

The sun sets on
Lilac and white bouqets
And ribbons hanging on
Delicate arms.
She stands beside him,
On his tall ship
Wrapped in white with her veil
Floating behind her
In the salty breeze.
Leaning over the rails
They shout their farewells
To the smiling wedding party
And her tearful father.
Into the misty breeze
The newlywed embark;
On a green sea sparkling
Red and golden shards
Left by the withering sun.

Okay not quite so long as the last... but it's a ten mintue long song.... mef, anyway this is the closetest thing you'll probably get to a love song by Nightwish.

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I`ll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
You were the one to cut me
So I'll bleed forever
