Heaven carries not
What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow's light won't disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear 02. Wine In My Hand (Third From The Sun)
They're sleeping through the ages
Faces bare of names Remembrance ever lies At the Bosom of the insane Death's cold embrace Across the restless seas Unfolding the wish to forget The eyes of the deceased Thirst for the wine in my hand Third from the sun The heart of death A thought for fake desires Starving trough the night Engulfed in an earthbound fire Left all alone among the dances and cries They seed all the hate Within the shade of sights 03. Wings Of Solitude
I'm sensing the paleness of lies
No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales 04. The Name Of My Bride
Burning in a hell made of my own
Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom's warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For u give birth to us in pain Maybe I'm Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I'm Abel, maybe I'm not But as sure as hell I know that I'll be chain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow 06. The Restless Seas
Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief
Did we persist in misery and grief Tasting a glance of the bold A thousand days of fates untold And from the restless seas I'm born Through pain and in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind's trace Ruling the light, we gave our lonely hearts Addicted fiends, through weakened weeps and woes The sight of fear, trading in for faith Eternal thirst to lead the circling hate Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Shattered at base, the lies that we breathe 07. Phallic Tantrum
No more... Harassed Hearts Primeval wings of solitude
The cross has saved the soil Traces given to sinister moods Cavity of hate Unborn faith, scorn beneath The quest for death Gold built the mortal feat Into the phallic tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear Infinite space No dreams of sleep of death Humane, cold embrace Concepts of might and reign The apocalyptic raids Shadows over the hearts beneath Calls that forever fade Their visions betrayed 08. A Kiss Or A Whisper
By masquerade of sleep madness ever lures
Resting soul's rebirth, denying the depths of fear Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A thousand cries in pain, spread beneath the fall A kiss glowing above, feeding upon the heart Spells... on glory they ride from within Light, as they seed hate onto the path A kiss or a whisper Floods of hate without relief for all sinister sleep Shadows of eternal belief 09. Vanity
Deep within my bleeding heart
Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs 10. Nemesis
Heaven and shores
Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive Will death cleanse me of this nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain 11. Heroes
I will be king
And you You will be queen Though nothing will Drive them away We can beat them Just for one day We can be Heroes Just for one day And you You can be mean And I I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers And that is a fact Yes we're lovers And that is that Though nothing Will keep us together We could steal time Just for one day We can be Heroes For ever and ever What d'you say I I wish you could swim Like the dolphins Like dolphins can swim Though nothing Will keep us together We can beat them For ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes Just for one day I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing Will drive them away We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be us Just for one day I I can remember Standing By the wall And the guns Shot above our heads And we kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame Was on the other side Oh we can beat them For ever and ever Then we can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes We're nothing And nothing will help us Maybe we're lying Then you better not stay But we could be safer Just for one day |
