I gave you my love
Though crystalized I sent you a rose with nevermore So many years So many hours And only thistles on my shore For all that it's worth The blood on my hands Is the blood of divinities And all that is lost Sound or unsound Only bonds between you and me If I go will you follow Me trough the cracks and hollows And I would be your Cain If you would be here now The Mother-of-Pearl Handcrafted by God You're the tower they built to reach the sky A White Falcon beauty My mark on your skin Follow me down the stairs when we die Your soul is in heaven Your body in hell It doesn't matter much to me In the night of the unborn Sound or obscene Only bonds between you and me If I go will you follow Me trough the cracks and hollows And I would be your Cain If you would be here now Blessed be our Lady Nuit Guide us to Ra-Hoor-Khuit In your night we find shelter Before the Helter Skelter 02. Ten Thousand Tentacles
[Instrumental]
03. Wings Of Heaven
I'll be your master and I'll be your slave
Until the day that you will dance avidly on my grave Seems like a lifetime we've been living this lie But I can't help keep lying when you undress before my eyes The wings of heaven are descending The touch of her naked skin's amending The skies will collide Only for a little while And it will take us through the night Thank you my angel like belly dancing concubine Like Cleopatra you're sleeping safe in a royal shrine Thank you for the blood and tears and for the table dance Wholeheartedly I thank you dear for our short romance 04. Love In Chains
I shout and call for rejoicing
I hear the sound of angel wings Escape us as we close the ring And into the fire we will fall Our desire, our flame, our call So be it, once for all And you are the dream and I am the lie I am the Devil and you are my disguise I'm all the pain you always tried to keep inside Love in chains We break free There is a time For you and me Not today Not tomorrow But one day our sorrow Shall go away All our being is spellbound A black magic hellhound Let us have another round for our love Many hours we shall wait But it will never be to late In life or death we'll intergrate one day Trough rain and stormy weather Shall always be together Together here forever Forever... 05. Divided
The marriage has gone to my head
The wedding trumpets are dead Replaced by a static noise So loud that I can't hear my own voice Will those signs lead me out of here Well, just take me somwhere To the planes where angels sing Trough the chime and the clattering For what it's worth the truth might hurt you There is a little you can do When shadows fall I will desert you Then that's what you will do For what it's worth the truth might hurt you And with a tear of morning dew... My temples born anew Lead me inside Lead me inside Lead me inside out of the cold Let me inside Feel me inside When the seed is sown Our love's dead by dawn And as the day begins The sun is soothing my skin And I am divided I am divided For love I have to say That all of this time I waited for someone like you Your are my dream Your are my dream Your are my dream 06. Carry Your Cross And I'll Carry Mine
Blame my cloven hooves - If I sink what does it prove
I'll always will be your prey Blame my crooked cross - Say I'm your bitter loss The winds of hell are blowing your way "Carry your cross and I'll carry mine Dig your own hole and you'll be fine Build your own tower until heavens devour Your very last hour" Blame it on Hell's fire - And on my desires The skies are crying blood Give me all your lies - And blame the lord of flies The face of evil is the face of GOD 07. Triple Cross

08. Light In Extension
We're shards of glass but we're coming to get you
The earth is shaking, the underworld's born anew It's a cosmic fusion, a dissilusion man Gather your stuff and get going as fast as you can It's all that I dream of when I pray to the devils themselves The dust of Babylon fallen is on somebody else And in the aeon of hope - A new sun will rise for you And in the still of the night - The moonchild will watch you too We're falling to pieces and that's why we're hunting you down While you're falling from heaven we rise from the underground No more turning the other cheek, no liers in wait Waiting is over, the black knights have opened the gates 09. Prey
Time stands still with you
The night is ours once again How many years, How many million tears before it's only you and me? When light issues from her deceiving beams, Even Eve goes up the tree And eats the forbidden fruit No love without a prey Our evil is inherited from our innocence Our paradise is but a faded picture on the wall And life's the archangel, With blackened wings But in the night The throne is ours 10. The Garden Of Heathen
<i>[Instrumental]</i>
11. Clovenhoof
In a room with no doors I will loose myself to you
In a room with blackened walls I'm coming trough In a room in my house you'll be seeing it trough my eyes It's a perpetual sin, let the ritual begin tonight It's alright, can't you see It's ok, she is with me Like the sand of our time Clovenhoof Are you the one they say you are, are you holy to the bone Have you got faith enough to throw the first stone Are you my flame when only darkness prevails Are you my white wale, the hammer for my nails tonight 12. Nihil
The loosers are the winners
The saints are the sinners The angels in heaven Keep falling, keep falling God is no forgiver He demands and you deliver The demons in hell Keep calling, keep calling Trough the night shall all wash away All the horrors of the day And a little angel on my side Tries to make it all worthwhile And with a little beauty in my bed I still wish that I was dead And the little angel on my side Takes me on a devil ride No rose without a thorn Dead before you're born A world full of nothing So keep praying, keep praying That what lies ahead of us In the eye of Horus A new sacred aeon We'll be obeying, obeying 13. The Pentagram
<i>[Lyrics from the poem by Alesiter Crowley]</i>
In the years of the primal course, In the dawn of terrestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse, And Man was the Lord of the Earth. He made him an hollow skin From the heart of an holy tree, He compassed the earth therein, And Man was the Lord of the Sea. He controlled the vigour of steam, He harnessed the lightning for hire; He drove the celestial team, And man was the Lord of the Fire. Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated, The choirs of the aeons declare The last of the demons defeated, For Man is the Lord of the Air. Arise, O Man, in thy strength! The kingdom is thine to inherit, 'Til the high Gods witness at length That Man is the Lord of his Spirit |
