I demand nothing, but I want it all
what privilege do we have under the sun, that gives us the right to the throne? species come and go, but the earth stands forever fast all river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full to discover the loneliness and be to proud to show the wounds will forever wander alone through the years but I won't let you near begging for you to understand the fear that lives in my soul which is an untouched spring read, what is written on the silent mouth what is written in the soul for which is written in the shining silence we all have to read my body will be bent from the burdens when the shaking floor of life-force reveal its chasm underneath if only one could be two steps ahead 02. Ordinary Story
egoism dictates human relations
a world where fashion outshines morality here success is written in blood-red colours designed by the thirst for power gather the faithful and propose a toast to the epoch of indifference an all to ordinary story with aftertaste so bitter forced to be someone I don't want to be I'm losing myself. sinking deeper down I'm caught in the world wound web a time represented by the void an excuse without content stuck in the abyss of existence with a content void of excuse an all to ordinary story this is my story with an aftertaste so bitter sinking deeper down I'm caught - I'm cage I'm gone 03. Scorn
I parish and nobody will know
as my mouth remains still my heart awaits me. filled with gravel as the pain grows with each touch since I marked her out from my tower reality focused through forbidden lenses she owns enough of preciousness a penalty given by the source but I still have no choice through the hinderens freighten a labyrinth closing at the edge of space but they never allow she's shut... for all beings but one I give, I scorn, I threat 04. Colony
in your world, the day is no threat
in my world, there is an absence of light "genetic superior cell" controlled by the fathomless and unbearable a radical new Form of plastic and rage biologically optimized but with a strangling pulse in your world, you find me worthy in my world, I "parashoot" my life a virtual drugstore populated by the fathomless and unbearable machine, meat and blood in an intimate relationship the new - superior - more effective than all the preceding when we can no longer cry and reality is torn then it's easy to forget that the responsibility lies on us all in your world, the night is no threat in my world, the darkness transforms to a vision of hell populated by fathomless and unbearable 05. Zombie Inc.
truth serves them embrace
and defend her case part flattery, part threats "for those who cling to this dominion will partake in its fall" with his silence, he passes the judgement over them "with your feverish signs of force you'll make them and yourself to believe that he still retains his full power" as a platform for divine foundations, you want to make them suck shallowness and beauty was all that concerned her body but the soul, her divine guest were thrust to the bottom surrendered to the sect that has risen from its womb "for those who cling to this dominion will partake in its fall" 06.

07. Coerced Existence
I'll take you on a ride
as a part-owner to my pain our ideals they collide coerced coexistence I fought the world today - postpone my birth again we stumble on and one - but bound to die alone pine - I'm selling my soul today pine - I need some sympathy this infiltrates my brain "in the sunshine the sun is mine" pitiless wanderer close your eyes and bow your head grotesque thoughts in a line threw my wings ånto the blazing sun smile stretched on old trees eternal Brining jester masque don't hurt a fly they all sing we're just ants in a great big play commercialize-infect-annihilate-progress visualize-inhale-pretend-betray 08. Resin
a sad song it was,
through renewal it brought and a month seems sometimes shorter than a half nights longing hidden and hard are the reasons for war polar twist, invert and flea I can't dissolve this feeling of mine but patience will unlock the door and the maps of reasons re-written for me when the wait is over and the punishment is due each day I crawl to the hall of the giants and I beg for mercy - and I beg for mercy in vein one night is a mare - two is worse How can I manage three? 09. Behind Space'99
Call me by my astral name
Breeding fear through wordless tongue Heavenly thirst - unspeakable pain Emptied from all human motion Confront the faceless wrath Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space Through twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams Sights of towers reaching for the moon Clawing at the skies - they gonna pull it down Intensity - I feel the lava rushing through my veins Stars are reforming - to enter the fourth dimension Beyond all galaxies Through timeless aeons of frost Unearthly hunger - angels descent We are entering dimensions behind space 10. Insipid 2000
should I defend you for who you are?
the laws are changed and useless! on their way to a deserted town where empty windows wave goodbye a helpless excuse, a falling reality I'm changed by the shock and the weight of the punch a helpless excuse, a falling reality ragments of a futile being a puzzle to the noble ones ignorant and pitiless they stride the world around me - spartanic, minimalistic a helpless excuse, a falling reality the large scale plan that once where you've now drained from life a helpless excuse, a falling reality wo knows the proper reasons why it all begins and ends? ignorant and pitiless they stride "you are but a form", the clean, harsh silence passes "genuine" visions by the noble ones for the noble ones 11. The New World
the great word of blessendness
and a feeling of ease a cup of the well of freedom and life we joyfully drink inside, all was new, but outwards nothing had changed an escapade, then to the altar to evaluate all parts of the great mystery but all remains on the same spot, no signs of a new season in my hand is a new word, but the word is still without a body a hidden life-stream that swells in the deep will soon give the word a 2nd face |
