# Into the Night the Muses Sing
I
close my eyes
The darkness rings
Into the night
The muses sing
I hold the ashes
Of my broken wing
Into the night
The muses sing
The darkness rings
Into the night
The muses sing
I hold the ashes
Of my broken wing
Into the night
The muses sing
The moon is dead
And all stars don't shine
The spirits of doom
Come to redefine
The ground consumes
My forsaken soul
Burning up hell
With my heart of coal
The bringer of truth
The merchant of light
The guardian of Ruth
Died in a fight
The symphony of death
In the broken blood shell
Lies now in between
The spirits of doom
Come to redefine
The ground consumes
My forsaken soul
Burning up hell
With my heart of coal
The bringer of truth
The merchant of light
The guardian of Ruth
Died in a fight
The symphony of death
In the broken blood shell
Lies now in between
Still darker than hell
Awaiting the sting
Of that stenchful rain
To wipe off my soul
That insidious stain
Scarred by those angels
Pecking up from high
Dwelling up there gazing
From that rotten burned sky
As the demons of old
Carve with blood on my bones
When iced damnation
Squeal rugged, they groan
Playing on its flute
The requiem of death
Pandemonium gasps now
With its blastful breath
And my broken heart
Wills to rotten and die
While with reverence I hold
That tear in my eye
I close my eyes
The darkness rings
Into the night
The muses sing
I hold the ashes
Of my broken wing
Into the night
The muses sing
Awaiting the sting
Of that stenchful rain
To wipe off my soul
That insidious stain
Scarred by those angels
Pecking up from high
Dwelling up there gazing
From that rotten burned sky
As the demons of old
Carve with blood on my bones
When iced damnation
Squeal rugged, they groan
Playing on its flute
The requiem of death
Pandemonium gasps now
With its blastful breath
And my broken heart
Wills to rotten and die
While with reverence I hold
That tear in my eye
I close my eyes
The darkness rings
Into the night
The muses sing
I hold the ashes
Of my broken wing
Into the night
The muses sing

# Colorless Chess Board
I wish I get a second chance to meet you again for the first time
I'll make sure that this time everything just goes fine.
In a day you went from I love you more to I don't love you anymore,
And that is how you made me sore.
Every moment I spent with you was like a beautiful dream come true,
And I just don't know how to breakthrough.
I laugh to hide my tears,
As now you’re doing what I feared.
I try to maintain a straight face,
As in my mind I hug you tight and cry in your embrace.
And now I can't help but stare at you,
And search for a clue of the old you,
But emotions left in you are not even few.
I tend to be happy or just learnt to pretend,
But this wait will probably never end.
I feel like a figure of stone standing alone in the cold dark night,
Lost against destiny in every single fight.
I feel like the sun burning from the inside but,
Still merrily shining bright.
Forgetting you is something I can never afford,
Life without you is like a colorless chess board.

Chehra
----------------------------
Muskaan aisi aankhen num karde
Aankhen aaisi ki haskar gham bharde
Dekhe hai kahin chehre bheed me alag
Magar dekh na paye khushi un chehron par
Kho jao agar bheed me kabhi
Dhund lunga tumhe, kyon ki tum khushi ho
Sirf Koi chehra nahin
Behek gaye hum un aankhon par
Mehek us muskaan ki sula gayi hume
Khushi ke kuch pal maange the
Magar gham ko sulaane ka sahaara de gaye
Yaad aaye the kahin dafa
Woh pal,us haseen din ke
Jis din ek chehre ne
Kahin barson ka gham bhula diya
Jiye woh pal baar baar
Magar thi koi kami un yaadon me
Yahi ki woh yaadein hi reh gayi thi
Yahi ki woh yaadon me hi reh gayi thi
woh ja chuki thi
Meri aankhein khuli thi
Mere upar aasman tha
Magar woh wahan nahi thi
Maine aanhken band ki
Mujhe woh chehra nazar aaya
Uske honton par muskaan thi
Magar uski aankhon me
Sirf dard reh gaya tha.....
