I'm glad you like them. ^^ It's good to see. So few people comment on my thread anymore, I was losing confidence in it.

"Tears," is quite confusing at some points. Personally, I blame Nightwish, getting me hooked on that sort of abstract feeling.
I like the word "marionette," though. XD

As for the phoenix ash thing, these two lines:
"Crimson stars of phoenix ash
My faith lies within you."
Aren't completely connected. The second line doesn't speak of the contents of the first, rather the "person," whoever it is, the song sings to, the "you" referred to throughout it.

But I can try to get it to make more sense.

I think I'll post another one, too.

Untitled (Aka: Song #30 X3)

[Verse 1]
Sold my soul
To the midnight eyes
Voice so cold
The truth lingers in your lies

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So sick of this
Hope, can you bring to me
The winter's kiss
Serenity, can you set me free?

[Chorus]
Behold the eternal life
Of my immortal roses
Colliding black with white
Merging shadow and light
Day into night
Behold the final dance
My final flight

[Verse 1]
Under the glass an ocean lies
The unforgiven sins
Behind the mirror my soul hides
Lying forever within

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The light graces me
Embraced in embers so pure
The darkness grants to me a remedy
Engulfed in shadows, my cure

[Chorus]
Behold the eternal life
Of my immortal roses
Colliding black with white
Merging shadow and light
Day into night
Behold the final dance
My final flight

[Bridge]
Over the hills rises the dawn
Reborn once more into the sky
Soon the sun again shall be gone
Night shall consume the child's cry

My tears are on display
The ocean beneath the glass
I want to look the other way
The shards shatter at last

[Chorus]
Behold the eternal life
Of my immortal roses
Colliding black with white
Merging shadow and light
Day into night
Behold the final dance
My final flight

The rhyme in the chorus is slightly different, I am aware of that. I don't always see rhyme as something completely sacred, since it's not a requirement.

I'll keep posting my songs as long as people are willing to read them, too. I hope you don't mind me posting often. ^^;
