Shadowcast upon my heart
endark... thy bleak midwintertears condemned to mourn in silence The pale moonrise in her eyes Serene... like a frozen stream the flowing beauty in thy tears I crave for thee my once beloved Beyond... the veils of darkness lost where now thy roses wrapped in dusk Dark enchantress I suffer thy fullmoonnights Trespass my undesired darkness Tears... flowing through thy dreams Dark enchantress the seventh fullmoon rise I drown in dusk and dark rivers Summon all my dreams like roses on your epigraph written in my tears thy sorrow and my bleeding heart She comes so serene my fallen beauty crowned with leaves Take me to thy dream Thy candle will forever burn in me... |

By her raveneyes By her beauty and a scarlet sunrise May thy river bury her silvertears A fallen angel... enshrined in moonlit seas Leaving vitality So serene breeds my darkness Entreating winterwinds Though I leave... I embrace thee Winternight Conceal thy precious angellore I secrete my soul Under thy wings of sorrow Dark I embrace thy eyes Wander lost on life's narrow path I reveal my heart To this beauty dressed in dark [whispering:] When my shadows devotetly cast My moon will rise with lost Grieving raveneyes Falls asleep with the sunrise Delightful midsummer breeze Though I leave... I await thee Winternight Conceal thy precious angellore I secrete my soul Under thy wings of sorrow Dark I embrace thy eyes Wander lost on life's narrow path I reveal my heart To this beauty dressed in dark Grant me thy last midsummer breeze May thou ascend from endless sleep ... my desire Dance me above thy moonli seas Glance yearningly into the deep A cold and weary night Widwinternight Descending me like flakes of snow I embrace the cold For a life that morrows Dark I embrace thy heart Wanderer lost beyond veils of dawn I conceal thy loss Enthralled in life yett still I mourn My lost Lenore... |

You choke a scream
Crushing a dream Made the scheme real Show this sinner your precious god Lift the blame off my shoulders With a simple thought Show me life's pleasure And how it is caught Not just the air I breathe Or the dream I forgot... The last smile The last word It's time to face the final outcome The pagan The godless deeds Fall... Deep... Your vacuum made complete Exterminate... Eradicate... Preparing for death Awaiting the light to shine on us Wishing the sun to fall down on our heads Show us the joy in the world that we're living in Turn our dreams into sin Your first breath The far tolls It's you these bells were made to call for The pagan The godless deeds Crawl... Deep... The last hypocrisy Walk the path The shining path Lift this prayer to heaven's heights Feed my mind with the most glorious thoughts Sacrificing all my dreams For this I will serve and honour to death Or do I just fear the tyrant's wrath |

You've had your last regrets
Reached your final depths Deepest pits Stepped aside for the world to pass you by Chose to leave the fear You are stuck in a world of deadlocks This time it's real This time it's for real This world Its evil ways The pain that I hide Let's make this happen... Left with the shame Will somebody out there give me the blame? Someone... Show me It's too far to see What God made of us Tell me it's a dream Was it meant to be this way? |

Out of the dim
The ships were closing in Warriors... Worrying... Painted to kill Kill and be killed More than fight to survive I'll give you strength to continue the fight I'll feed you anger and soft little lies Out of blood hatred grows No place to hide Kill and be killed More than fight to survive I'll be your shining star I'll be your guide Wounded and dying The screaming of men To death it will be Enemies attacking again and again So much pain So many tears Out of blood Hatred grows Beneath the flags He watched them row in Warriors... Worrying... Painted to kill Seeking the courage to stand up and fight The war drums were sounding from ships out of sight My god is great I've killed before All is fair in love and war and peace Mayhem... The vultures awaited their feast Eagerly... Circling low... Where dead takes the dead only our ancestors know So much pain So many tears Out of blood Hatred grows |

Hard...
I?m harder than the life i?ve lived Strong... I?m stronger than the pain you give It?s lost So lost The world you?re in The life you live I see the lies The darkside of the smiles you give I?m gone I?m anyone you like me to be I?m gone Whenever you would like to be free Old I?m older than the years I?ve lived Cold... I?m colder than the smiles you give My lifehas been the dreams you says I?m living in How long will you be lost, my dear When will you give in?? |

Am I alive?
Feels like dying Down, down Fists are striking me It gets so dark Or are my eyes blinded? Down, down Boots are kicking me The coward, the sinner, the thief The liar, the misfit, the creep I'm running out of Steps to walk Of air to breathe And words to talk I'm running out of Noise to make Of jokes to tell And hearts to break For days burned and frozen lies The years that passed me by The child in me just died The scars in me will never heal An overdose of nothingness My visions are for sale I'm selling out I am alive But always falling Down, down I hear voices calling me The coward, the sinner, the thief I am alive Kind of wasted Down, down Hands are reaching me The coward, the sinner, the thief The liar, the misfit, the creep I'm running out of Dreams to dream Of tears to spend And screams to scream I'm running out of life again Smothering... Turning into dust |

Another day
The next page Still in daze Still in a dream Out of the pipe My lust for life Comes and goes From above Demanding purity Sobriety Cursing me like a sledge Hammering down at me Out of the water-pipe I suck my lust for life And all my floating dreams It seems Up on the gallery God shouting down at me Something I can not hear Tears falling from the sky Words from a lullaby Everything beautiful dies For now, we're hanging in Though we are blessed with sin You make my tired heart sing You can be a sunbeam And shine for a while For a while You can laugh a lot And bring out that smile For now we're hanging in Even though we're blessed with sin You make my heart... You make my tired heart sing Tears falling from the sky... I'm on a tender trip Slowly I'm loosing grip Madness is in the air I fear Stay, you're my acid-queen Stay on my faded team Run through the corridor with me |

Camera angles
decadence of a dying world Matchsticks Long dark corridors They've got the urge to die young Deepbluelettering Carousels and fireworks Ferris wheels are spinning in the arc-lite city Do they know They have slept for so long Do they know The taste of their tongue Do they know They are trapped Let's celebrate the modern end Let the world begin again Celebrate the renaissance man |

Don't care if I choke....
Sacrifice me for my sins For my beliefs Spit at me Die...with me When I'm gone Death will come to you Death will come... The flames went high to lick the skin on her chin The words she said For those words she would die The crowd circles around her Praising their merciful god Her screams got weaker |

I'll play you like a violin ...stay... You will be queen I will be king I'll chase your scary monsters On the run With me you are safe I'm in control I'll fulfil all your dreams Every fantasy I will be What you need Satisfaction guaranteed Can you see them?

"...The third angel blew his trumpet,
and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and in the fountains of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many died of the water, because it was made bitter..." I can see God's unborn son Playing with a loaded gun All our sins... He'll die for us... Or did somebody lie to us? I can see the shape of God Drowning in a pool of blood A mighty choir of ancient generations sings Behold! The hand of death Squeezing out earth's final breath The stars are falling from the sky And I know why See God and his hand of death Squeezing out earth's final breath How did it all come to this? Brought to us by Judas kiss? I watch the sun go out I've lived to see the end As I watch the sun go out My loss of faith replaced by doubt All our sins... He'll die for us... Or did somebody lie to us? Let us pour one final drink Fill the glasses to the rim The world's on fire I still can hear the choir sing Behold! Your nightmares are fulfilled God just got his final will The world stops spinning And death is all around... Come... Join this toast God is dead... |

In decadence I take thee by the hand
too frail...to gain the promised land too frail...to take your pain away too frail...a sequel of decay May milleniums gather on the mirage of desolated souls far between departure and sorrow I breed my afterthought In thy hours of vast dejection's haunt...wane An angel strays upon my door so frail and lost within To weep upon her days of yore my decadent come in Her stain and tears upon my floor the sorrow that she brings Devotion of a life outworn in decadence come in May thy lids desorb from emerald seas a pending solitary Though thy pain redeems, life it seems to be a fragile sanctuary |

Through scornful declarence and lumnious eyes
the shadows enveil with the glorious night Trespassing the sunset like thou hast before Entreating the daylight to rage nevermore Angina striking Elysium A frail remembrance glorificates the nightside-ascendance veiled underneath thy funereal skies The winds they may haunt me in bloodredest skies The moon may bewed the strangest of light The clasp of indifference the conquering tide The sweeping of daylight...my vigour's decline Thy Carrion Kind Angina strikes Elysium...a frail remembrance Carrion Kind My Carrion Kind |

Not fear, nor tears can reach me now
the light seems so clear as the night fades away Behold of thy flame, below of all shame Come conquer me sweet dreams of paradise Dusk drawn hither to my evening star A glance in thy mirror The trance of thy mirror Venus... through the looking glass Dance so frail and lost in the fields afar Cast off thy mourning Clasp life and glory Venus... through the looking glass The sense of angels in veils of dawn Like she runs forever among thy halls The pale horizons are closing down The reasons for living are lost somehow Cross my heart with a glance upon the star of riddance Drift afar like teardrops on the Stygian River I'm the nightfall and wizard that summon thee You're the blizzard that drape my eyes I'm thy sorrow and vein of obscurity You're the dagger that cuts Shivers on the bleak horizon Profound words... you're my frailty See the light cease in thy life Profound words... hurting me |

Rise my clandestines, thy secrecies invoked
Streams of argentine across eyelids are drawn Rise upon the tide, my castaway's outworn Fall from distant worlds and redeyed skies above Gesture of an argentine moisture like snow upon the riverine Gesture of an argentine moisture so sore upon congeal skin Ardency of life forsakened time will gather the source of thy secrecies Ardency of life forsakened in swarthy hours thou ponder still Invoke thy aeons in a dream entrancing sleep profound and prolix Estranged to life's utility Bequest thy endurance in the times of lethargic Lead me down in wailing hours to the riverside Reveal to me thy secrecies hidden in the wan deep of thy infinite mourning Lethean river carry me beneath thy riverine |
