Nope, neither. I'd go with 'the lyrics reflect a delightfully dark, sensual side'

Thank you again.
I shall be posting our band lyrics here periodically until all our songs are here.
I'll also post a few lyrics of songs I wrote for my previous band, Disciples of Sorrow.

In August Moon (Becoming)
Now, standing alone I wait here
Heart Weighed like a stone I wait here
I'm becoming love's scapegoat
With fears untold
I needed to feel your heartbeat
I needed to hear your soft words
But still I wait here in the moonlight
August Moonlight
In august moon
I feel myself grow weary
In august moon
I fear the warmth will leave me
Solitude
Wrenching at my heart
Emptiness
Tearing me apart
And still I'm waiting
In the moonlight
August moonlight...
Far away
Dreams are straying further
And in a way
Memories hit harder
Another day
Draws to its conclusion
And in a way
It adds to my confusion
Far away
Dreams are straying...

Ok, these lyrics are extremely optimistic and utterly positive (So unlike most of my other works).
This is a song from my solo project.
The beginning
Crawling through the depths of darkness
I stand again to see the sun
I'm blinded by the radiance
of a hundred tales yet left unsung
A cool wind blows upon my skin
As I wander through the work of dreams
This world is gone, that I realize
But I'll face the dawn with open eyes
As memories of my past all fade
I smile again, the burden's paid
The past is but a memory
Of lifetimes which could never be
No sadness left, my eyes are dry
I cast my gaze up to the sky
And revel in the morning's glow
A new world comes, begins to grow
I stare into the sun
A new age has begun
This is the beginning
I can no longer pretend
That this is the end
This is the beginning
Someone once asked me if this was a gospel song.
Absolutely not! I'm agnostic.
Where they got the gospel idea from I have no clue...

I'll post a few more tomorrow.
I just need to gather all my lyrics together, because, honestly, I've actually forgotten some of the words to some of them!

The Smallest Death
Sinking deeper into your mind
Morality gets left behind
Sensation and need call out your name
As you enjoy every moment of pain
Breaking through the skin
The pleasure builds within
And you start to gasp for breath
As pain envelops you
There's nothing left to do
But enjoy the smallest death
Bound here with ropes of lust
Inhibitions all turn to dust
Falling away from society's grasp
You endure this pleasure to the last single gasp
Breaking through the skin
The pleasure builds within
And you start to gasp for breath
As pain envelops you
There's nothing left to do
But enjoy the smallest death
You give in to the sin
let the suffering begin
Let it ripple through your soul
The flame is burning high
The end is drawing nigh
And the fire consumes you whole

Well, it's been a while, but here's some more lyrics from one of our songs.
Bloodline:Immortal kiss
As daylight turns to darkness
We wake into the blackness
Entwined by immortal desire
We stoke our passioned fire
We live
We Love
Embraced by the taint of darkness
The heat of our passion soaring
As we feast upon each other
The children of the night start calling
We love
We live
Immortal kiss
bring me my death
so that I may live

Terra Incognita
In the dream you always stand before me
But I never seem to reach you
The darkness swells, their fingers claw me
I scream for aid, no I beseech you
The past is not a forgotten memory
As I stumble into this nightmarish reverie
Your comforting hand but a moment away
But my thoughts, once again are led astray
For here
The undiscovered world remains so clear
Stepping through the darkness, living fear
All my vivid nightmares drawing near.
The undiscovered world remains...
remains so clear
They clutch at me as I recede
Falling further from your touch
Their hands restrain, their bodies impede
Their passions burning with insatiable lust
I glimpse your eyes as I'm dragged asunder
In my agonizing end I stare in wonder
No tears you shed for my dissipating soul
But a smile of pleasure as I'm devoured whole
For here
The undiscovered world remains so clear
Stepping through the darkness, living fear
All my vivid nightmares drawing near.
The undiscovered world remains...
remains so clear

Damn. It's been ages. But yeah, I guess I'll breath some life into this very old thread of mine. Here's a new one called "Ill-fated Night"
As darkness falls and shadows grow
I lose all sense of security
The gloaming now surrounding me
It lacks a form of empathy
From darkest black a shape unfolds
Teasing me and taunting me
She shows me forbidden mysteries
My darkest dream is all I see
Beware this night
Ill-fated night...
Twilight's embers now erased
Fear now blinded within me
In many shapes she's haunting me
But I'm unsure of what I see
A nightmare spawned of midnight's breast
From maiden to wanton mystery
Visions touching, teasing me
Desires now embracing me
Beware this night
Ill-fated night
A threshold cracks within my soul
I give in to this certainty
The secrets that she's showing me
erodes my will to be set free
This cold embrace of sunlight's death
Her essence now enfolding me
Incense burning from her shrine
Intoxicating, her purest wine
Beware this night
Ill-fated night

The last paragraph(stanza?) doesn't flow as well as the rest, but overall, I like it. ^_^

Thank you very much. I agree, the flow is a bit broken in the last verse, but it seems to work in the song we recorded.

Oh, it's a song! Cool. Having it sung would probably be a bit different than hearing it spoken in one's head.

You're welcome, hun.
Not that I'm an expert or anything.
