Together we have discovered the languid fatigue of love interrogated all our beauty we've turned
each other inside out. Drowning in Ebony Tears. The long face of cherrlessness the only bonding we share enlightened by degredation the only pleasure is pain. Drowning in Ebony Tears. Embedded in our resentment lay the keys to disengage but still we burn in persecution for the punishment of possessiveness. |

The serpent she writhes in knowledge for rebellion and heresy, the serpent she thrives on knowledge
for beauty and ecstasy, the night contains me, exults me, promises me the tender touch of the serpents dreams. O' to dark foundations grey deliverance, mesmerized by descent shrouded in calm. Fabled curses plunge to depths untold I conjure bind and charge thee to heavens unknown (entombed). O' yea serpent eve. Gather to the lords of facade, beneath the cross of false, crawl to the figure speared wither within its name. Raise the current clear the stream, herald the sound of the serpent dreams. Into the night for the serpent eve psalms for the spirit, charms for the calling. We're neophytes for serpents eve. |

Tortured self worth, abstracts of wrath, released from attachment human reaction. Muted unable to
realize images of your designs soul sacrifice a blessing to me, carve me from your memories. Deep impressions my depths, worthless as each breath, worlds within words of half truth my fears of losing you. I'll pour scorn from the lowest place colour fades from your face. Annihilation acceptance. Paradox of self existence. |

Lost in the battlefield of opposite extremes. I ponder on the embankment that stands in between the
monochrome and color entirety I see the beauty and chaos of fate and destiny. Stand in the balance of forest equilibrium. Absorb every aspect of forest equilibrium. The fatality of optimism shall we not embrace but evolve into the actual with grace. Outweigh the balance through excessive choice I return to the wisdom of this equalateral place. Rebuild thy strength here in forest equilibrium. Through irreligious choice in forest equilibrium. Through irreligious choice in forest equilibrium. Come walk with me through violet smokescreens where both feet tread upon joys and agonies calm in all we see, masters of destiny. |

Dark oceans we cry, writhing in the misery, cast spit on the love that lay at our feet, the intrigue of
pain we crave it's mystery neglect to explore the depths to sanctity. We reach happiness, divine in providence, our lamented desires. Lose scent of the essence, shunned is the prosperity, we feel the anxiety, self inserting the knives in our heart. Luring to degrade with bribes of affection, can't abide divinity over our imperfection. All love is broken, sombre in devotion, the hearse of selfishness has drove it all away. |

Lack-lustre vacuum magnetises the land, scopeless material in ruthless demand, concrete spectacle superficially grand, divine animation buried in sight. (Chorus:) We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation, crystal warriors of damnation. Nullified grafters manufactured from the womb, out of the repro-clinic into household tomb. Drag the nothing tiring through coal-dark underground, drive the wheels of iron round and round. (Repeat Chorus) Scouring eyes sear through that book of lies, and to the truth, well our search is dignified. Whilst the yawny drone of physical machinery march in robot mode to terminal destiny. Microscopic observance, forsaken innerland, spiritual inertia, absorbed in bland, well our significance shan't sink in their charade, 'cos through their drab pantomime I say we're gonna ride! (Repeat Chorus.) |

Adorned daggers, ruby hilted swords, unfailing crucifixes, striking mortal cords, huge violent serpents in volumes rolled, all holy poisons poured in cups of gold. Ooh these instruments so blessed and old, here lay death's sceptre - truth untold without mercy or (Chorus:) Love, forgiveness - exile me, blades of goodness set me free, madness my destiny, alone forever exile me. Sharp swords, bright lightings set brave souls free, past God's blind eyes through infinity, of all these vessels transformed to clay, rich ashes blown to dust - swept away! Now take me steel to the gift of skies, deliver me from weakness from this flesh that rides. Without pity or; (Repeat Chorus.) Ooh to think how pleasant your touch would be, in that all my lovely limbs would fall away, and drop to nothing in their soft decay. Unto my frail heart, the worms shall find a door, enter the weary pulp - into the core! As all of my flesh lay soft on the floor, released this soul from me, forevermore! Into the loud tide screaming silent words, out of this dreary world in screeching awe, without earthly (Repeat Chorus.) |

Sliding down the mountain, as dusk passes to day.
The antidote of elation, now lifeless masses wake. Jaws of suxiety open, the luring vampire of agility, a fatal invitation, sight hazing from me. Oh midnight mountain, I require, inner relocation, back to pinnacles high. Drowning in empty faces, sinking in banal, I crave the isolation of eventide when perception climbs, I just need the injection, a dose to boost my flight, a sonic blast of moonlight, nucleus ignites. Oh midnight mountain, now I'm revived, stimulus transcending, back to pinnacles high, Screaming at doleful skies, absorbing all my sighs, responding to my cries, downcast a thunder of reprise, won't let the next sunrise, signal my landslide, from ecstatic highs, I'm on top of their demise. |

Fountain of youth, lifespirit flows into a well of truths, of cold and dim repose. I craved to be as high as the pillowy clouds, to walk amongst the tall, who used to look back down and frown. (Chorus:) Now here I stand by the wasteland, where our dreams began. From these once golden fields our curiosity ran... I chased the sugar claw through temptation's door, the bitterness I found...sweetness I taste no more From the play ground to the slayground, the sombre middleground absords the emptiness. (Chorus 2:) Look back across the marble sea of discovery, a fountain of innocent flows in juvenescence. I'm resident in corridors of sentiment. I face the wall - discovery terminal, but there's no more false truths I wish to discover, and I am physically unable, to tread back down those corridors. Fountain of youth, oh how I bathed in your innocence, and now in cold repose, I must face the bitter truth... |

Cold sin and fire, burning wrath and anger, this crippled splendour of lust so dire yeah! Insane visions of beauty, groanings so empty, wriggling in agony, the frail corpse of love that's me. Hair and eyes limbs and faces, bending hard in fierce embraces. Ooh this loveless rage, come give me pain - arcane exotica, ooh grim luxuria. (Chorus:) Twisted lust on fire, love the bastard liar. Sick grins of pleasure, warped torsos in heaven, bending tongues - saliva, licking lifeforms of grotesque. On the floor bones cracking, like evil dogs mauling, grunting in this ecstasy, - shaking, screaming, clawing me! Pleading eyes mangled faces, torn apart, in growling places. Ooh this seething cage, white light in vain, arcane exotica - grim luxuria. Twisted lust on fire, love - the bastard liar. Oh sweet sanctity, - hell is pouring over me. |

Here, gibbering alone...oh the earth and heavens, they so tire me, tomorrow's dreams encased in a velvet sanctuary. The crumbled throne of worldly gain, is glory forgotten, and now just nothing remains. (Chorus:) We've come too far, we are so close, one soul, inside, one forever weeping. As the vain morning dawns all life fades away, you can take me now, beyond the violet veil, and whatever flames the night in these deeds I've done. In fate's control, at last my time has come. (Repeat Chorus.) Death is death, the little host that squirms, smell the dark - the coffin's closed, and I so soft - ooh so soft, no movement, and no breath, no ears, no nose - no eyes. Death is death, in life's sepulchre - no sight, no sound, no cry, and always...always... death is death - yeah! (Alive again). Eeeaaergh - damp skin in greying sheets, decaying bed absorbing me, bleached white ceiling above - dehydrating visions of love. Vitality slides back down the walls, saturating the velvet floor, numbness writhes in all I adore, wasting here, can't see the door... |

In this magnetic hole, descension the only quest
Our lips are green within the burial of life itself Oh glorious misery caress this emptiness Half truths as a whole in this vacuum a negative gift S Souls scattered in ecstasy Isolation intrinsically No medication or shrink can cure This nothingness we adore Skull of humanity within the charcoaled house of wealth In divine emptiness we are the butchers of lost self Hammer nails into my flesh for the punishment of luxury Bleed me dry oh lord in return I'll kiss your feet Eyes hollow i cannot see Holy visions just heresy No god or shrink can cure This nothingness we adore Into this hole we sink. Devoid of self esteem Clawing at the purest darkness Too awake to sleep. |

Crucified millions go to mass every day
To earn from God their moral wages Their world is dying - for forgiveness they pray Yet meanwhile the battle rages Can't you see what you're doing? Can't you see what I'm trying to say? Fantasizing virtue, whilst inequity breeds. Yeah Mechanical slaves to the Doomsday Machine But you won't listen - You watch the planet turn From Cathedral spires. The Unnatural World Ultra bright red planet with inflammable sea Vivid world of spectral colors Genetic reproductions of a plastic forest A nation of invisible figures Well can't you see that we're trapped here? Can't you see that you cannot escape? This Earth is a ball that we're all chained to Tortured humans in a scientist's zoo But you won't listen - You watch the planet burn From Cathedral spires. The Unnatural World Atomic lords living in their Ivory Palace The animals are locked in their cages Dictator of Destruction has the world on its knees In comfort while his battle rages Can't you see what they're doing? Can't you see what I'm trying to say? Our planet is resting on a skeletal hand As nature dies in this grief-stricken land |

I stare at the motionless man, with the eyes of Judas It's a face I've seen before. In a distant Mental War Where am I? Where have I come from? I am Frankenstein - One Million Years B.C. Dinosaurs Rule the Earth - All for you to see Museum of Mankind - distilled in Ghostly Silence This Orb no longer turns. As if it never happened My laboratory has closed. I'm a scientist with all the answers But where am I? But where do I belong??? I am Frankenstein - One Million Years D.C. Machines now rule The Earth. Not for you to see. I've played chess against the world, and conquered my own madness I've designed my own plague - Become my own Big Brother But life goes on, and all this wealth I own....

I'm coming home. Sailing to you aboard a ship of phantoms. Am I the only one? Is this a dream, is it a nightmare? What can I do? Slipping away, I'm falling from this lifeline, I'm coming home to you. Back from Hell again I can take you there.... I've fought with an ancient beast that lived inside me I'm coming home A casket of stars surrounds this blackened and lost soul Am I the only one? Again and Again, Yeah one more last time I'm coming home Walking into a golden mirror of sunshine I'm coming home to you Farewell last sunrise You can take me Where the solemn angel rides Through the Dust of Paradise Walk with me through the Dust of Paradise - My friend See my world, Where the Ghosts of life are sent again Release your soul from this mortal coil of life - My friend See yourself in the Mirror of Beginning again........

Goddess of the underworld cold queen of lost beauty Gazed upon earth's battleground At mankind's misery With her saddness came love's death As violence slowly siezed Her wheeping tears of darkness crytallised the earth As warmth turned colder, her grief chilled away all mirth Frosted armies paused in war now wearing beards of snow Perishing forevermore, her bite numbs to the bone Housed in icy caves, men of peace rest in these times of woe Shaking in glass coffins, waiting for the sun to glow She cast her spell on earth and all emotion died Her languid heart dulled the skies with love's demise She crystallised the earth with water from her eyes A frozen sun now hangs above this land's demise. |

New light has formed, from the darkness torn Of dust and sand, mankind is born Our garden evergreen, it's flowers, so serene We sing along with birds naked, free Our curiosity led us to a tree We ate from it the fruits of poisoned destiny [Pt.2: Trouble In The Garden] Horns of goat, tongue of serpent Head of dog, body of man He has chosen to pervert God's land In his heaven The Garden Of Unearthly Delights Flowers of blood grow in love's garden Upon the black grass of betrothal We have chosen to pervert God's land This our heaven The Garden Of Unearthly Delights [Pt.3 Into The Valley Of Violent Orchids] [(I) Cadaverous Butterfly] Stillborn beauty greets the air Cadaverous Butterfly draws near Skullish face, scarlet wings Eerie grace of death she brings Haggard marble crosses bare Entrance to her pesty lair Skullish face, Vampire wings Demon's ace fluttering Poisoned perfume leads you there Carnivorous insect has you snared Fallen prey, mesmerised Skullish face eats your eyes [(II) Blind Mans Gaze] In steaming woodlands you awake, Eyes dripping blood Rats digging a grave at your feet as Storm clouds gather above In earths garden, nature sings mans requiem Damp, numb, lost on the cold ground Whilst spiders explore your flesh Raise your head from mossy stone and Slimy dew on which you rest In death's sanction - all life's beauty is its end [Pt.4 Flight Of The Reaper] [(I) Court Of The Cosmic Judge] Witching moon burning - frozen sun ashamed to rise Earth's vampires thirsting - for a final taste of life Flight of the reaper, coming back to greet man's end Cosmic Judge awakens, from his council we're expelled White dove on fire - flies into Azrael's sky Black-winged messiah - accepts man's sacrifice Flight of the reaper - he arrives at his promised land Our funeral curator - cups the earth with skeletal hands [(II) Tunnel Of Death] [Pt.5 Alarm Bells In Paradise] [(I) Mourning Of A Paused Dawn] Dawn creeps on, as night withdraws Orchid sun - rises paused [(II) Black Bulbophyllum Sunrise] Buldophyllum, Barbigerum Purpureoachis, Dyanum Dendrochilum, Cobbianum Orchis - Mascula [Pt.6 Exit The Valley Of Violent Orchids] [(I) Through The Concrete Meadows Of Life] You pass the valley of death Rejoin the ghoulish droll procession You thought you had left Orikifirus sends down hearses From the kingdom of dead our sun Whores to oblivion now are taken To your promised land [(II) Chains of Morality] Burning in the flames of pious self-shame A pure, divine existence can't be reborn again For your virtue there is no reward Grand illusions of a heaven flawed Break the skeletal chain - to be reborn again No lies, no shame, an existence profane Celebrating our freedom In this prison of God's kingdom [Pt.7 {ie Pt.c (c)} Back To The Garden] Fireless sun, Morgue like planet Deceased minds now control it We have chosen to accept God's land This is our heaven The Garden Of Unearthly Delights [Pt.8 Pool Of Sleeping Minds] [Pt.9 Endtyme] Soldiers now walk through the streets so cold Concrete walls, dark buildings fall Our garden has turned grey, its beauty gone away Earth became a grave for mature's way Seeds of decay have grown into today Endtyme has come, all light fades away |

A new day - in static motion I drift
The atmosphere sinks into the greyness of my soul Slow apathy. Fermenting my senses The nothingness. The formless void that is me Mourning is the same way The Drowning of a new day The Surreal - the only truth I caress Emptiness. My only fulfilment My feeling - internal voidance Nowhere, is where I've progressed Mourning is the same way The Drowning of a new day |

Together we have discovered the languid fatigue of love interrogated all our beauty we've turned
each other inside out. Drowning in Ebony Tears. The long face of cherrlessness the only bonding we share enlightened by degredation the only pleasure is pain. Drowning in Ebony Tears. Embedded in our resentment lay the keys to disengage but still we burn in persecution for the punishment of possessiveness. |

Tortured self worth, abstracts of wrath, released from attachment human reaction. Muted unable to
realize images of your designs soul sacrifice a blessing to me, carve me from your memories. Deep impressions my depths, worthless as each breath, worlds within words of half truth my fears of losing you. I'll pour scorn from the lowest place colour fades from your face. Annihilation acceptance. Paradox of self existence. |

I got those midnight circles
And I pray deceived Ooh how I despise you (memories) Tongue tasting moonlight A tribute to my pain We could last for never (another game?) Here in autumn twilight Morphia cursed delight I got those midnight circles I drawn the hanged man Movin towards Winter (yes I am) Eyes seek inner spaces Guardians of spheres A touch of dementia's (fears) Here in autumn twilight Morphia cursed delight And the sun shall never rise again No more visions to be gained Stricken mother of failings Led into a shallow grave Here I am now So far away - hey Internal reflections Another maze Here I stay now Caught between Lives that you form And the lives I've been |

You gave to me
Affection I couldn't see It felt like a rope Tightening on me Frozen rapture Your warmth I couldn't trace Echoed laughter Bring sadness to my face Hereinafter Plagued by my own embrace In my frailty Your splendour did penetrate Onto the cold Floors of responsiveness Frozen rapture Your warmth I couldn't trace Echoed laughter Bring sadness to my face Plagued by my own embrace Buried within walls Of ex-communication Torch light never shines Upon my isolation |

Since love has come to me
Since then you've walked away Life is a mystery The roses on my coffin Are the dreams you gave to me Love is blind And all the flowers died for you This land so black, so fair for you Here in this wonderland Purple the ecstasy Mist enticing, penetrating Lust I inhale Cold is the night today Darker than months of May Love is blind Your arms where a hearse for me Desire driving me Into this grave And all the bells shall ring for you Transparent love we shall see through Sleep in this wonderland Of purple ecstasy Mist enticing, penetrating Lust I inhale Fear not the wind It's telling a tale Into the whitest night We slip away... ...Not dead enough to be alive |

I said your messin' up my head
Inside your funky luv machine Those mutha's Are fleeing the nest To join our Brother/sister soul machine With hesitation I view the world But I know a good thing Is going down Media they talk of masturbation Skip their krap and get on down Woooaaahah do it yeah Brothers, sisters come to me Woooaaaheh all right now Pinnacles of ecstasy God squad they wish That we were dead 'Cos we're always Tripping out of our head This funky doom scene is insane Police they have a different brain Love is the sin we call salvation Heaven stationed in a lovers smile Our law is the law of meditation Flip yo' head into the sky (Superfly) Woooaaahah yeah Brother sisters can't you see Woooaaaheh yeah hit me We're loaded - Get high! Ad lib impro shake out smoke on! Curse of the Blues Dog [Reprise] |
