I carry inside of me the corpse of a child died many years ago
Sometimes I'm being asked where it might be... Strangled by your stupid ingenious false stories To show that I am good-bad-innocent-culpable as you need To depict me - I'm proud that I've become the one you scorn most: Sometimes beautiful and stupid, mean and clever I hate you, I hate your judgement, your senseless sentences, You're just bastard sons of your own hypocrisy, Falsehood and envy - you're worth nothing in my head. Now... I don't wanna hear human breath no more I can't stand your presence, Just a morbid, misanthropical desire pervades my brain. No longer will you corrode my liver with your goddamn voices. Only with myself I can be reborn emperor From this pulpit from which I will Lie Deceive Enslave Like an unfaithful, like an unfaithful, like an unfaithful ? 02. Unfaithful
Sink too deep in my own thoughts
Parallel worlds melt with reality Melted by nightmares and phobias Tie my brain tie my brain darkest taste rises In a maze of fragments of instability What was clear now crumbles down How long is it gonna last before its fall For it has staggered once I'm the emperor of madness slave to myself Slave to myself in the kingdom of sad truth - no truth. Tower from which I can lie unseen, Battlefield where I can face my worst enemy A monster called indifference. My empire, I still don't know how far. Yes I'm the maniac emperor in the empire of madness Real nightmares they know they are here to stay Neurotic and anesthesized My rule, a castle held by hate and injustice - My rule Landscapes filled with frightful churches, peaceful cemeteries Languages unknown but so clear, They speak to me in my dreams. A world populated by ones never existed but once lived I thought 'em dead, thought 'em dead They speak, I don't wanna hear. I'm lost, you won't bleed with me... 03. Depths
Just pretend you're on the bottom of the calm ocean,
And then a little above Fingers that caress the waves, waves caress the whole body And I don't know whether reaching you, My vague memory because once lucid You would be the end of me. I recall your mother kissing your brow Even the treasure there concealed. Oh I learned where love grazes death And how words can fall apart from the heart That's where the secret lies, with the love and sorrow Of a last kiss Son of earth born of planets that refuse their dying Before they meet their dawn and sail again, Son of earth cured I'll glyde again to birth. What do I really want to recall Do I long for the depths I'm looking for ? Sinking through silences of colour, Smiling at the tricks of my notes. The sense hidden in the photograph Is far from the soil you're digging Unexpressed, searched with passion Falls through your fingers To remain unseen. 04. Mother Of all Nightmares
State of complete desolation, wandering the deepest mental void
aimless, reasonless hate anger and fear triumph above man ever since. He who sells good feelings and preachings is the first on the list of the worst deeds love driven against us - feeling not to believe in from its very start. Those who should have stayed with me were the same who taught me how to feed the purest hate but they did to love each other. The worst wrong, the worst wrong your mind knows what it's gotta do. The worst, worst sentence how painful the price will be. No one knows where the line between love and hate lies Too many misunderstood acts, violences to justify The mother of nightmares has drawn her path An endless road, vicious circle with no exit at all Do you like what they did ? The mother of all nightmares has played her part ever since Just hatred and uncertainty surround a meaningless existance. To cure the rich babies sacrified, the screams weren't loud enough To echo in their consciences - the poor they always succumb, it's always the same Mother... Lost souls roll into the bloody lake rotting aware of their guilt, Souls of rich profiteers, minds more miserable than the blind beggars' Hiding their lack of personality behind their straight thought It dresses their dirty women in dead animal furs Plaguing thousands so they can show their beauty bold Look at yourselves, recognize such hypocrisy What would you do for a crumb of power. How many lives sacrified to your greed - mother never sleeps, it is you Nothing's worthless than a man's life now - perhaps you get what you deserve. Religions of love and brotherhood, the methods they change, the Principles remain the same for the machine goes on and on - Man I hate you and your maker. 05. In Tenebra
The sun devours the skyline red, for he knows
There ain't much time left Fights with anger the blades of the night The dark theater in Soaked in the black blood flown from the day. The skinny fingers of its Last fire sink their terror as in quicksand As they rise they twist in The ancient dance - their last dance Try to grasp the Red Moon, Witness To pain and disease And she joins the trance; dreams to be: Winter - flood - heart of this weak planet - hatred of men - an orchid kissed by a little child A stream carries the pilgrims' coffins to the sea Its waters reflect but the nightmares, born of light As the dead feed the ground so the river twines to the earth. The river is deep The river is wild The river is cold The river is black The wind talks to the night from the mountains of shadow Speaks with voice of dream Tells tales of sandstorms like dark tongues of fire They claw the dying summer The stones on the mesa shape the wind into laments of ghosts Of mothers weeping over their children's bodies, Victims of the revenge of their victims' children. The wind is freezing The wind is writing your name in the sand The wind is a hiss The wind is black The desert is witness, book of worn pages - turned by the impatient wind With the smell of timeless sighs Look, pilgrim, look -the skeletons' fingers point westward Point to the sun/father, the sun/hangman, the defeated Sun, the sun exiled Look - at the rags protecting their bones from the Hunger of the ground Look at the empty sockets - mirror yourself into the void Throat is dry, dust emptied your body The desert devours the town The desert cannot sleep The desert is on fire The desert is black 06. The Fallen
(native lyrics)
07. Acid Tears
Chemical lightning penetrates a haunted sky
What is left is no longer alive Industrial involution slowly suffoking the earth Man shall waste away in the arms of his black soul Acid tears-for a million years Can't believe that we'd gone this far Without you we would still live. Acid tears - devour my skin Acid Tears - the future we saw it ain't black for it's gray. May our sons rest in peace For these parents have done enough Leaving a torn, barren planet behind Ladies will wear their own snakeskin Disfigured children swim in the azote sea Filled with petrol-created demons Breathing with amianthus lungs Lost be our planet (Man shall waste away in the arms of his black soul) |
