01. Fall From Grace

Music by Eldritch
[instrumental]

02. No Direction Home

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
We are the age, no restriction shall stop the brave
We've got the rage of who's trapped in a fancy cage
The rage of the useless scorn of the unaware new born

We've got the flame and the fear of the dark's been lost
We've got the blame and the cure in our thirsty veins
We pine the deadly blow from a world that changed too fast
Grown too slow...

One of the Heaven's bringer of despair, stop us if you can
With thunder rising from thin air,
Show the power, show the might, show the light

We've got the greed of locust that flies, kills and breeds
We've got the speed, but we drive over boundless fields
We rush against a wall, lost in this world too vast
Grown too small...

One of the Heaven's bringer of balance,
Won't we eat each other
Or won't we have another chance?
Show the limit, show the gate, show the way

For I've been drifting,
No direction home, no direction
Not at all, for I've been roaming, roaring
Just to conceal a weep

We were born to be the least,
Just the meat for worms to feast
So rise up, rise up on lost horizons
We were born to be the least,
Weak & wicked, weak the most

We were born to be the least,
Wo rise the highest to fall the best

03. Heretic Beholder

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Embodying shadows, I come in your lake
Barring my dead shows, I crawl on this rendered earth
Young crystal symbol, hung on the wall
Parasite idol, virtual upstanding forge

Recall flaring light
Recall humble lurk
Recall pale mouth
Recall endless run

Acting with my letargic impulse
Heretic beholder
Answered by barren fake reaction

Forbidden chapter, words I deny
Faithless observer, open my lonely side

Recall flaring light
Recall humble lurk
Recall pale mouth
Recall endless run

Acting with my letargic impulse
Heretic beholder
Answered by barren fake reaction

04. Scar

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Passion days I cross, growing pains... I fall
Masked faces, lonely shades... I'm guilty
Haunting call I hear, traces of my fear
Someone tries to conspire for a game

Buried old scars deny my rendered circle
Overflow, lay and wait Violator!

Carnal fold I flare, fatal sickness
I can't walk around my happiness
Praying for someone, man without a mind
Let me know how many shelters you hide

Buried old scars deny my rendered circle
Overflow, fertilizing fields of sadness
Buried old master of a clay doll theater
Overflow, lay and wait VIOLATOR!

05. Bleed Mask Bleed

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
The mask is standing aside, the mask is noticed sometimes
Caught at the first glance cancelled by mind at once
The mask allowed him to grow, the mask allows him to show around
With no sound, woth no mask he'd be underground
The mask is helping hiding the sad truth,
Covering the scary face of a man too weary
The mask was pitiful, now the mask's a beautiful smile, pictured and lying
Keeping the world from crying

Bleed from the sky, red as the sunset's blazing eye
Bleed like rain, bleed far away

Man's flesh was so waek, man's brain was so thick
It flew off in one blow, spreading wide like red snow
The mask was better, the mask will go to Heaven
Torn by the rifle, unaware of what it died for

Bleed from the sky, red as the sunset daze the eye
Bleed like you did, Bleed far from here

Caught by the flood, floating on dark waters
Mirroring forever, find yourself away
Better for all, seeing not each other
Seeing what we look like when the mask is off

Go mask and stop only where
A man's known, respected, not for the mask that he wears

Bleed from the sky, red as the sunset's blazing eye
Bleed like rain, bleed far away
Bleed on the fields, red as the autumn paints the hills
Bleed like you deed, bleed mask bleed

06. The Last Days Of The Year

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Sweep off the streamers and lay down the covers
The story's over
Love conquers all happy endings
The wicked is tamed, he's got the chance for an afterthought
For changing and weeping, repenting and creeping
Tales always finish too early to tell that he's had enough

Going for lonely ways, waiting for better days
Waiting for spring, for the doorbell to ring
So far apartand still here
Turning the page on these lonely last days of the year

Spirits of air ghostly friends
Please take my hand, I'm so far from my land
Cure all my wounds, lick my tears, chilling my face,
I'm so far from my place
Never again smiling backwards to past lives, never again
shedding tears
Never again on the waves of the turning tide
Never again on these last days of the year

Going for lonely ways, waiting for better days
Waiting the dike, you don't know what it is like
So far apart and still there, now in the last days of the year

Going for lonely ways, waiting for better days
Waiting the dike, you don't know what it is like
So far apart and still here, so far away but still near
Walk alone, breed of Cain, thinking all night and days
One far away, knowledge goes with the pain
To make a light you must burn
But times are about to turn

Within my prison I'll stand
Within the hope of my exile's end
When every sin will be forgiven
And dreams closer and clearer will gleam

Out of this deadly deep frost
Without the memory of what is lost
Without the tears with eyes unswelled
I will build stronger and straighter high
walls...That's all

07. From Dusk Till Dawn

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Cruel rays of light tear the dark inside
The new day on the town invades my mind
A crowd creeps in silence, taking hold of the roads
Where I wes king 'til few hours before
It breathes the pollution and pisses gray
What they call life's death compared to what Night can give us
With all Her thieves and whores
... Night can give us and always does
We are all Kings, all Queens, not slaves

From dusk till dawn
Living to shine now
Living to shine
From dusk till dawn
We shine till dawn

Now Venus is rising to the west of Void
The old day on the town is fading out
A huge power swells inside of me
As the mob of lost souls thins and turns to the cells
I watch the crowd there and feel mercy
All your dreams are nothing compared to what Night will give us
With all Her sins and love
... Night will give us a crown of thorns
We are all Kings, all Queens, not slaves

From dusk till dawn
Living to shine now
Living to shine
From dusk till dawn
We shine till dawn

08. To Be Or Not To Be (God)

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Escape from reality is a good medicine for my mind
There's nothing to think about in the Garden of Eden I feel fine
It takes all my energy to be able to succeed
I lie, still and kill, then I'll be ready to be the King

Maybe it is too easy, but i don't need anybody to save me
Maybe I'm busy, but everyone obeys me
To be or not to be

It's now the time to make my choice:
To be or not to be God

I wonder if I'll ever answer the question about my life
When I'm not even close to really seeing what we hide inside

Maybe it is too easy, but i don't need anybody to save me
Maybe I'm busy, but everyone obeys me
To be or not to be

It's now the time to make my choice:
To be or not to be God

09. El Niño

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
A furrowed face destroyed by grief
Realize this is a useless man
When you feel it is not right to insist
On the things you'd carry out without a chance
Don't loose heart El Niño is coming in....comes in

To relieve the most shooting pains
When you wish God existed and heard the prayer you may soon be dead
Don't give up El Niño is coming in

Living in all men's thoughts and failings

For you there's no prize to win
And you keep on running to the appointed place
A hurdle race in which you're first but all your rivals still breathe down
your neck
Don't give up El Niño is coming in

Living in all men's thoughts and failings

10. Nebula Surface

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Ravines in front of my eyes
Downcast I look for the rise
Narrow unsteady suspended line
A hung surface spreads a hive

Gambler kills
Hazy hesitations
My tread is shaking
From vulture warning

There's a twilight above this entry way
(Entry way)
Let the mirthless epilogue slowly fall
Trusty words when I fall into decay
All my fingers subside I lose control
I lose control

Rustle and fog wrap my wire
(Wrap my wire)
Sweet painful trails remind

Gambler kills
Hazy hesitations
My tread is shaking
From vulture warning

There's a twilight above this entry way
(Entry way)
Let the mirthless epilogue slowly fall
Trusty words when I fall into decay
All my fingers subside I lose control
Lose control

There's a twilight above this entry way!
Let the mirthless epilogue slowly fall!

Perpetual blast turning point
Sweet painful trails in my voice

Gambler kills
Hazy hesitations
My tread is shaking
From vulture warning

There's a twilight above this entry way
(Entry way)
Let the mirthless epilogue slowly fall
Trusty words when I fall into decay
All my fingers subside I lose control
There's a twilight above this entry way
(Entry way)
Let the mirthless epilogue slowly fall
Trusty words when I fall into decay
All my fingers subside I lose control
I lose my control
I lose my control
I lose my control
I lose my control...

11. Dreaming

Music & lyrics by Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Lynn Turner
Shades of night, fall upon my eyes
Lonely world fades away
Misty light, shadows start to rise
Lonely world fades away.

In my dreams your face is all I see
Through the night you share your love with me.

Dreaming visions of you
Feeling all the love I never knew.

Here we are on the crossroads of forever
Shining star lights the way.
Walk with me on the winds of time
Love's mystery is for us to find.

Dreaming visions of you
Feeling all the love I never knew.

Until that day, until the day I find you
I won't rest, I won't let go
Somehow some way, I know I'll be beside you
To warm my heart and fill my soul.

12. Intoxicated

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Damage done you can't repair,
You took my soul away
You denied the promises you made,
Now I can't reply
What's your satisfaction?
What's your satisfaction?

Intoxicated from your eyes
What did you do to me?
Intoxicated from your eyes
Ripping my soul away

You hypnotized with your dance,
Caught me with a glance
My regret's time can't turn back,
There's no solution left...
What's your satisfaction?
What's your satisfaction?

Intoxicated from your eyes
What did you do to me?
Intoxicated from your eyes
Ripping my soul away

Intoxicated from your eyes
What did you do to me?
Intoxicated from your eyes
Ripping my soul away

13. Sparkling Vision

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Over my head under my bed,
There are sparkles flying
Inside my head inside my bed, your body's laying
Never saw you like this before, never saw you
Now I'm here waiting for more...
You squeaze my energie and
I'm falling on my knees now, my knees now
Can't live without this vision.
I'm addicted to the sparkling sight

Sparkles are flying in front of me
My weakness is killing
This vision is haunting me
My eyes now are burning

Over my mind under my pants,
There is something moving
Inside my mind inside my pants,
My soul is growing
I can't watch this scene no more, can't watch it
My mind is boiling I'm on fire...

You squeaze my energie and
I'm falling on my knees now, my knees now
Can't live without this vision,
I'm addicted to the sparkling sight

Sparkles are flying in front of me
My weakness is killing
This vision is haunting me
My eyes now are burning

Got the Devil in my mind...
Got the Devil here inside...
Got the Devil here inside...
Inside is growing,
Inside I'm bigger than outside...

Sparkles in front of me
My weakness is killing
My eyes now burn...

14. In My Will

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Before I die!!

Can'trun away from this life, can't run away
Because I'm hung right here...
Can't push away my fear, can't pull the dark
Clouds out of my mind
My sight now is fading...
My hear now is bleeding...
Before I die!!

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Before I die!!
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Before I die!!

This sense of guilt is healing,
This sense of guilt in part devoured my soul
I've been betraying you,
You've been betrayed and
I never now are closing...
My life now is ending...

Before I die!!

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Before I die!!
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Before I die!!

15. Unfairy Tale

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Your tales won't convince me,
You're the biggest liar
You closed the door and ate the key,
You're sitting on a big fire

The flames are growing, the'll burn for you
Your armchair's burning, it'll burn with you....

The story's not over...
You're gonna die with your chair
The story's not over
You're gonna die with your chain
Remember one day you're gonna fall
Your power is gonna fall
Your life will be gone!

Nobody wanted you, but you are still here
Nobody encouraged you,
It's something that's not clear

The flames are growing, they'll burn for you
Your armchair's burning, it'll burn with you...

The story's not over...
You're gonna die with your chair
The story's not over
You're gonna die with your chair
Remember one day you're gonna fall
Your power is gonna fall
Your life will be gone!

Over...!! You're gonna die with your chair
The story's not over
You're gonna die with your chair
Remember one day you're gonna fall
Your power is gonna fall
Your life will be gone!

16. (Dead)icated

Music & lyrics by Eldritch
Waiting for tomorrow, who am I?
My eyes are full of sorrow, should I cry?
Waiting for tomorrow, waiting you
My heart is full of sorrow, where are you?
Follow the sign...
You have told me to make the first move
The sky's hard to climb...
Will I find the courage before I die?

In my heart in my mind
I have million words to tell you
In my skin my blood
Those three words are too hard to say to you...

Now I broke the silence, where are you?
Finally I hear the voice never heard before...
Follow the sign...
You have told me to make the first move
The sky's hard to climb...
Will I find the courage before I die?

In my heart in my mind
I have million words to tell you
In my skin my blood
Those three words are too hard to say to you...

In my heart in my mind
I have million words to tell you
In my skin my blood
Those three words are too hard to say to you...
