Liriel's Hell

...yes, it is supposed to be ambivalent who the people here are...

The moment of decision

And for one second I lost my head
And for one second I wished that you were dead
And for one second you wished that you were here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me
And for one second I lost my breath
And for one second I cherish what you said
And for one second it seemed that I was here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me
And for one second I understand
And for one second my life was in your hands
And for one second you wished that you were here all alone
Hold back the tears that could fall for me, they fall alone

--Paradise Lost - One Second

Denial

My love hides like a dark star
Laughing, hidden in silence
Strangers cold as the winter wind
Fade away
Feelings deep as the ocean
Cold waves whisper their warning
Danger walks with a fragile heart
Walks with a fragile heart
Got to have a heart of steel

--Crimson Glory - Heart of Steel

After the Fall

These are the darkest clouds
To have surrounded me
Now I find my self alone caught in a cage
There's no flower to be found in here
Not withering
Or pale to me
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind

My heart is covered
With thoughts entangled
How could it ever have felt so real?
Is there a place more lonely than I feel within?
Could I have seen?
Could I have known?
I just took it as the truth
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside
Always there to remind me
To keep me from believing
That someone might be there
Who'll free me and never ever leave me

--Within Temptation - Caged

Departure

We've all been hurt before
you know the pain
And just to love is not enough
So many times I've had to turn away
from love I know could be so true to me
Now I stand alone in my dark and lonely world
surrounded by this cold embrace of jealousy
No feeling remains, like a restless heart
naked in the frozen winds of sorrow
Now I feel the bridges burning
Flames reflecting in my eyes
The feeling much too cold to share
Another broken heart to spare
Smoke clouds dreams I've left behind
I never meant to bring you sorrow
I never meant to cause you pain
I know how much it burns so deep inside
It's burning me too
Leave me silent in the morning light
Hold me close until the morning comes again
I need you so bad
Tell me lies if truth reveals your love
Feel the flames are rising
The bridge is falling, the bridge is burning
I never knew that I would need you
I always thought you would be there
Now I feel the bridges burning
Flames reflecting in my eyes
I never meant to bring you sorrow
I never meant to cause you pain
Still thinking of you
You know I love you... still
