Ornaments in silent darkness,
the image of man now torn from its structure The smell of need, the dwarfed soul of man, attuned only to flesh suffering from frustration Alien to our own spirits We're naked even in death The dawn is yet to come to fill us with knowledge Pulsating waves of colour, bleeding off into the black A whisper of red screams through the night The architects and the flesh |

When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns I have travelled through suns, And the darkness of the end Now I surrender to the void And join with the pulse of the universe The world burns with worms of fire The world burns The beauty in twisted darkness Raped by the light of Christ We were not born to follow We don't need your guiding light I tear the skies with my bare hands There is no death for me The world burns with worms of fire Sun or animal, star or beast Alone all the way to the heart of Christ I'm free to die when I wish I'm born from scarlet songs And when the time is right I shall forever walk alone The beauty in twisted darkness Raped by the light of Christ Worlds end, through a thousand suns |

Look the herons in the greenbilled water
Their wet-ash wings wear medallions of patience We drift on... We have stories as old as the great seas Break through the chest Flying out the mouth Noisy tongues that once were silenced All the oceans we contain, coming to light All the dark birds rush from the river Leaving only the stillness of their language There are no clocks to measure time But the beating of our single hearts You will know it is winter By the way your dreams tremble like stones When the wind comes through The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong |

The sun sets in a sea of love
Stab your demoniac smile in my brain Seduce me with the blood of the sunsets Lock me out from my body and it's pain The golden wine of the sun deep rich purple, white and red The crimson vintage of life and love I'm drunk on the blood of the sunsets I watch the burning clouds fighting to get hold of the sun Take heed, I am born, god of the twilight I am forever Proud, naked, full of sin Born where the flames never die Lost in the garden of stars "We used to sit up there for ages. It was like we were giving birth to a new world. A child of our spirits, Wild with light, alive with colors." "Have you ever considered true freedom? Real true freedom. We were gods, burning in the eternal twilight. We were the end forever." Beyond our sanity, a paradise for all to find Blood of sunsets, the golden wine of the sun |

No light is present Freezing winds of lands unamiable Haunts the wastes of Neverwhere Life doesn't belong here Limitless, unmeasurable - time is not As the end so is the beginning Always was, always will be This is where the journey ends This is what no one returned to tell Neverwhere Life doesn't belong here Dark thoughts, darkest mind no light is present I now put aside my crown of thorns Time has come to join eternity And rest my eyes on a darker shade of color Eager to be erased Innumerable stare behind frozen eyes Wanderers strayed from eternity's path longed for to come, to rest at last Limitless, unmeasurable - time is not As the end so is the beginning Always was, always will be This is where the journey ends This is what no one returned to tell Dimensions warped in times of motionless storm Now frozen worlds collide As the womb of cold opens wide Childhood has passed Now birth will come of ages dreamed of by none Now awaited, the circle to close We wait for the call, Lazaraus come out Now awaited, the circle to close We wait for the call - Lazaraus come out We wait in the shadows of Neverwhere |

Empty streets fill my mind
Autumn has come to numb me blind The end it reaches out for me My soul still calling to be free I want the energy to breathe, to clear thier poisoned minds The energy i am, to end thier pointless lives |

Clouds, black of deep nights
Dim my sight, block my eyes From the truth, from the flesh Black in torment steeped A force worse than Hell unleashed Let us pray for the final twilight Crawling up from the swamps of corrupted flesh slowly stinking suffocate me The night screams out the darkness The pain of dying worlds Crush Sunlight seems a blood smear Niight comes, blood-black Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh Religion rots your mind, "God" will free you of your soul Clouds, black of deep nights Dim my sight, block my eyes From the truth, from my own flesh My thoughts come crushing against the walls of the hard blank Steel walls of your faith Don't question the light, black of a thousand lies It's everything Black, in torment steeped A force worse than Hell unleashed Let us pray for the final twilight Sunlight seems a blood smear Niight comes, blood-black Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh Religion rots your mind, "God" will free you of your soul |

City of screaming statues
Your soul will grow to understand and respect this place It will be with your in your heart, on your journey The gates of city lies before you The temple of truth whispering their waves Chase your visions, slay your fears What moves the truth is the sound of your thoughts Scream The struggle of the soul Depends on the strength of your will Among the twisted shapes of your madness You will find your light and your genius In the city where the statues they scream For their truth to be real The dreams and the visions The reality and the light Within the soul of the city May be whatever you wish it to be In the city where the statues they scream For their truth to be real Stand up and turn your back on reality Lie down and let your dreams attack The silence of a soul that is true Is the silence that you lack Feel the strength pulsating through you As the gates they close behind you The answers lie within the city Within the light In the sunrise of your soul, time is the key The music of the truth, now behold Rise and crush them The gates of city lies before you The temple of truth whispering their waves Chase your visions, slay your fears What moves the truth is the sound of your thoughts The statues they scream For their truth to be real Within the walls of the city Where death aint the end The music of the truth, the light of the end |

My life fades, my visions dim
All that remains are memories I remember a time of chaos A time of war As men began to feed on man Only the scavengers survived Gone now Gone now, swept away For reasons long forgotten Touched of a blase Which engulfed them all A firestorm of fear The answer is written in their bones "All life ends" I remember an old man Griping my wrist, he was dying "Imagine", he said, "Looking into the eyes of a nova The bursting flames The roar of it's energy Frintly echoing down the corridors of time" Whispering: "All life ends" "Death", he said, "Is like a bolt of lightning Light cast upon every secret Just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades And all is dark..." Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear His gaze already way out among the stars... Among the ruins of the past I shelter from the storm My mind is numb from the loneliness And the rain that never stops This wasteland, once a beautiful place Where trees and flowers grew Where deer, and squirells had their home Now rotting are their bones Where raging waters grind the earth I go to end my days The sea that witnessed mankinds birth Shall watch us die again Black and deep Empty of life As in the heaven so below The sun has now forever set And bids our time to go Go! I am tired And I fear not The cold that now descends As light grows dim, I bid farewell All life ends I am leaving now, my body stiff Just watching for a while That rigid shell, so small and weak A corpse on a broken cliff The stars are calling me now With distant, speechless voices And caught by a wind I drift away And nothing calls me to stay I am ridint the wind that has no name The fire that burns without a flame Caught by the spell on which all depends "All life ends" The answer is written in my bones "All life ends" |

God
Creator Deceiver, you are the sinner I cast you down from your throne of lies And accuse you of a thousand sins Perished in the flames of what you call Hell I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever Forever! A thousand Colors invade All different, all dark A black sun is now rising Reality unfolds Kingdom gone Kingdom gone Absolute Spirit, we revolt against thee We are the serpent gods, We all spawned from you I am the new messiah, and I will baptize you in sin We wanted a place in your creation but you wouldn't let us in With one caress I draw the life from your flesh With one stroke I render your bones to dust Kingdom gone Kingdom gone In the light of the black sun The seas of starvation start to boil A new dimension is born We die, we learn and are born again Inverted we've lived our lives From our death to our birth Now the liars are awakening We are the children of God's curse With our caress you greet the slaves of your creation With one stroke you punish us for your sins Kingdom gone Kingdom gone Kingdom fucking gone The black gate is closed Inverted we've lived our lives From our death to our birth Now the liars are awakening We are the children of God's curse I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever A thousand colors invade All different, all dark A black sun is now rising Reality unfolds Kingdom gone Kingdom fucking gone |

Jesus, no prince of my starved Hell to be
No way, my world it dies with me Far beyond your eyes they seek Beyond bonds of stars and skies The kingdom where nothing dies I am the stars burning evil in your heart Beyond good and evil, we will never part For every man and woman is a star 'Cause I burn inside you all, we will never part |

When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns I have travelled through suns, And the darkness of the end Now I surrender to the void And join with the pulse of the universe The world burns with worms of fire The world burns The beauty in twisted darkness Raped by the light of Christ We were not born to follow We don't need your guiding light I tear the skies with my bare hands There is no death for me The world burns with worms of fire Sun or animal, star or beast Alone all the way to the heart of Christ I'm free to die when I wish I'm born from scarlet songs And when the time is right I shall forever walk alone The beauty in twisted darkness Raped by the light of Christ Worlds end, through a thousand suns |

Catch the rainbow if you can
It will always be ahead of you Years passing swifter than you ever thought Today will soon be behind you And the future remains out of reach Hunting the sun, setting at the horizon When shadows threat to swallow your weak soul The key of light, the solution of all I saw it clearly behind the veil of reality And as I dreamed the lilies white In the shade of a birch They withered in the frost of awakening Fiery the angels fell from the spires of my fortress of youth Silent explosions in my universe of pain Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude And let me follow where daydreams go When ambitions fall Watch the sky, there is proof of your transcience The stars that saw the birth of our ancestors Shall watch our descendants last steps on earth So, unnoticed we will pass away, Like a flickering in the perpetual chaos The timebird rose from it's nest of bones And thrust it's beak in my eye With the beat of charging wings My transcience was confirmed Time perhaps for a salutary sleep I still long for that silent land of dreams Where the flames expire, where the spark fades And hunger is born again |

From cold storms I emerge to inferno
Kiss me with your insanity, bless me with your plague Burn through my head The psychic treasures in the arena to find Dead symbols that walk through the dreams of man Non-divine, burning souls of red Tongues of insanity, here I am Lick me free from my dark past And open my heart for your joy I seek eternity where it lies to be found My life will not end 6 feet under the ground No rebirth in heaven where eternal sleep awaits We must seek immortality beyond the seven gates Make love with me this one last time This one dead dream And rot we can as gods Together in a distant hell Burn me with your tongues of love Burn me free from my bitterness and hate So let the light devour men And eat them up with blindness Non-divine, a restless soul Worm, goat, eater of gods Burn me with the tongues of your love Burn me free from my hate Set me on fire Again and again |

Look the herons in the greenbilled water
Their wet-ash wings wear medallions of patience We drift on... We have stories as old as the great seas Break through the chest Flying out the mouth Noisy tongues that once were silenced All the oceans we contain, coming to light All the dark birds rush from the river Leaving only the stillness of their language There are no clocks to measure time But the beating of our single hearts You will know it is winter By the way your dreams tremble like stones When the wind comes through The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong |

Ornaments in silent darkness,
the image of man now torn from its structure The smell of need, the dwarfed soul of man, attuned only to flesh suffering from frustration Alien to our own spirits We're naked even in death The dawn is yet to come to fill us with knowledge Pulsating waves of colour, bleeding off into the black A whisper of red screams through the night The architects and the flesh |

Slit open the skies and let out my stars
The night dies inside me She's got ways to make me crawl I respond like a machine The sun shines from a thin sky And these feelings they die In the minds of the blind Patterns red of love so dead Under the floors, the dark woods they come back Dark they needn't be, but your virgin blood is dead The spark faded and gone All the stars in her skin The repulsion as I sin She's roaring through my soul All dressed in thoughts of flesh With a beautiful wound I was born It was all that I knew to own Stardrowned All the stars in her skin The repulsion as I sin She's roaring through my soul Sears my nakedness my flesh Stardrowned |

The sun sets in a sea of love
Stab your demoniac smile in my brain Seduce me with the blood of the sunsets Lock me out from my body and it's pain The golden wine of the sun deep rich purple, white and red The crimson vintage of life and love I'm drunk on the blood of the sunsets I watch the burning clouds fighting to get hold of the sun Take heed, I am born, god of the twilight I am forever Proud, naked, full of sin Born where the flames never die Lost in the garden of stars "We used to sit up there for ages. It was like we were giving birth to a new world. A child of our spirits, Wild with light, alive with colors." "Have you ever considered true freedom? Real true freedom. We were gods, burning in the eternal twilight. We were the end forever." Beyond our sanity, a paradise for all to find Blood of sunsets, the golden wine of the sun |

Feed me seven notes of love Let it's wine burn through my veins And free my soul from it's pain Urges rage my fevered mind Held back by dead note, blind By the seventh sign of the seventh son The seventh sun sets forever in the dark sea of my mind Never shall i smile, never shall I die Sun be gone, end my world Enter darkness, rich of pain I'm eternal, forever to be free I'm one with fire, a thousand sun burn in me Ever-opening flower Feed me seven notes of love Urges rage in my mind Held back dead notes, blind |
