in the hold
of stone and dirt
writhing like a newborn
lost
<earth chant>
the planes come clear
portals to new life
comets, oceans, steaming peaks
wondrous gift
vast it stretches, high it soars
mother of the ultra soul
its humid insides, hot to the touch
you are but the mole
in its back garden
as the sky breaks
all overflows with bounty
no touch of man
can sully its beauty
(power to mother)
crashing storm and rainfall
the slickening ground breathes and heaves
awoken at last the mind inside
the soul of the sand and the leaves
power to mother
devoured by mother

Flow of the River

don't talk to me
the tide is high
see worlds enough?
water meets sky
oh
bow down at the shore
put your ear to the surface
(as you drown in a mask that betrays you)
bow down at the shore
put your ear to the surface
(as you drown in the mud i will see you)
pray destiny waits
at the gates of your fortune
(is there no one alive that can save you?)
pray destiny waits
in the bowels of your commune
(as you follow the flow of the river)
dont lust over stars
these constellations
the river holds
all these formations
bow down at the shore
put your ear to the surface
(as you drown in a mask that betrays you)
bow down at the shore
put your ear to the surface
(as you drown in the mud i will see you)
pray destiny waits
at the gates of your fortune
(is there no one alive that can save you?)
pray destiny waits
in the bowels of your commune
(in the grip of a simmering river)
chains of premonition
nourished by intuition
control
the flow of the river
(it's gonna get you anyway)

hot
like combusting stars
(in the middle in the middle)
and so
bright
like a pulse in the dark
(to the middle where you came from)
babe
show me the sign
that points me home
(with a kiss and the wink of a star)
ooh
close the gap
thats between us
then i'll show you
all caught up
in a spiderweb of stars
give me back
all the darkness that i sold off
can i ask
for a life line from afar
give me back
all the loving that i slept off
now babe your spirit flows through me
fuck galaxies
and fuck the astronomy
light the stars and set me free
fuck all this void
create new reality
cold
like the dying stars
(in the middle in the middle)
and so
dark
isnt it too bizarre?
(to the middle where you came from)
babe
show me the sign
that points me home
(though the ink has been streaked cross the skies)
close the gap
and
open up
open up
your holes
all caught up
in a spiderweb of stars
give me back
all the darkness that i sold off
can i ask
for a life line from afar
give me back
all the loving that i slept off
now babe your spirit flows through me
fuck galaxies
and fuck the astronomy
eat the stars and set me free
fuck all this void
create new reality
what cannot be ours
in the span of a few hours
is the past an artifact
or does it hold uncertain powers
now babe your spirit flows through me
fuck galaxies
and fuck the astronomy
eat the stars and set me free
fuck all this void
create new reality

counter to common belief
opposites do not attract
the master of half truths decides
and puts on his overcoat
the signposts are moving away
the riverside overflows
what prospect is this now?
and where is the bureau?
a serpent heaves from the grass
whistling by the riverbed
the master, he sighs
have you come to mislead me
again?
"i will have what my heart seeks"
the serpent teases, smiling
the master lays back
and the serpent
constricts
and the master
he sleeps
soundly
now no one knows
what became of the serpent
but the master stands
suspended,
eternal
yet one day you'll hear
a hissing, as if
the serpent's desire
moves in
and then you'll ask
"have you come to mislead me
again?"

late at night
when the bushes and the trees are your dreams
hold your ground
and breathe in deep
your steps are sounding
as you sleep
walk
the fern that grows on evergreen soil
the mossy hill that sits at the end
of
the hall
late at night
when the bushes and the trees are your dreams
hold your ground
and breathe in deep
your steps are sounding
as you sleep
walk
the darkness sweeps
the mist is lifting
a sky clad in tremulous lights
to guide you astray in the night
..when the bushes and the trees are your dreams
hold your ground
and breathe in deep
your steps are sounding
as you sleep
walk
/wake
how long until you reach me
until your light contorts me
i'm barefoot in your dream
and i can barely see for trees
the ground that seeks to cease me
the rocks that cling and squeeze me
my faltering fumbling body
the peat that repels me
the smoke and the stink
oh how true is your light
the shivering brink
oh how true is your light

massacre
if the spirit's willing
then i relish the killing
for blood is pure
common ground runs red
until the gods are fed
i
drink of pain
is there more to savour?
then just ask the favor
for my hands are yours
and my spirit whispers
down your neck
it shivers
the knight
the wife
the laws of strife have bound us two
(won't you be my knight?)
it suffers life for me and you
(won't you be my wife?)
defecting traitors let them come
unfold their flesh and shape their bones
massacre
if the spirit's willing
then i relish the killing
for blood is pure
common ground runs red
until the gods are fed
i
drink of pain
is there more to savour?
then just ask the favor
for my hands are yours
and my spirit whispers
down your neck
it shivers
tomorrow sleeps
in retinue
(won't you be my ally?)
your twitching eyes
in golden hue
(please believe my lies)
your loyalty has turned a pawn
(from the useless to the useful)
the factory of new found dawn
(sacrifice the supernatural)
i trust you to take the lay of the land
(you'd never think to let me down?)
this landscape is poised to fall at my hand
(now is the time to take the crown)
life is indifferent to you
taciturn
on a sloping hill
on a bright cold morning
as the days go by
as your will goes rotten
can you stand the chill
of the open sky
and a sun that whispers
of the dying sisters
can you consecrate
that which has met the fate
of the allies......?
the allies...……….?

Static Love

why do i always fall in love
(with all these rotten people)
why can't i feel when it's enough
(i must be tormenting myself)
this is some form of slavery
(imprisoned in this headache)
i cant take this monotony
i beg of thee
these modern times
absolve my crimes
why do i always fall in love
(with all these rotten people)
why doesn't dying put me off
(no it thrills me)
but yet the spell repeats
your destiny is sealed once more
and how your heart it beats
then suddenly it's forevermore
i swear i've seen you once before
(a mask that smells of flowers)
your mask unravels days of yore
(i must remember, for myself)
deep love
(use your shovel to betray it)
(just exhume it when you need it)
why do i always fall in love
(with all these rotten people)
why can't i feel when it's enough

far out
in the wilderness again
{do you think you can find it}
helpless
and abroad without my friends
{do you think you can take it}
the temple calls
you to its halls
so close
you almost smell it
what does await
inside its gates?
only
the fevered mind could say
under dust and under dirt
<does it still hold hexes>
stay away or you'll be cursed
<skeletons and axes?>
under dust and under dirt
<does it still hold treasure?>
stay away or you'll be cursed
<or just pure displeasure?>
searching
lost in madness and despair
{have i lost my direction}
when it
suddenly starts to appear
{potent spells of protection!}
i climb its stairs
observe the pairs
of statues gleaming brightly
the courtyard gates
open with quakes
i must admit it frightens me
under dust and under dirt
<does it still hold hexes>
stay away or you'll be cursed
<skeletons and axes?>
under dust and under dirt
<does it still hold treasure?>
stay away or you'll be cursed
<or just pure displeasure?>
light the torch and go on inside
<dont be frightened, son of mine>
navigate
through crevices
until you reach
the inner shrine
such is desire
a deadly mire
that keeps you wanting wanting
ideals die
in sheens of light
imprisoned, bound to haunting
the flesh rots off
your cause is lost
but new adventures seek you
a sentinel
employed by hell
what ever will your family do?
under dust and under dirt
<bound with ancient hexes>
stay away or you'll be cursed
<the undead complexes still grow>
under dust and under dirt
<now you guard your treasure>
stay away or you'll be cursed
<at the temple's leisure you hold>

folding away into waterfalls
sweet is the morning when they do call
eat it with your hands this time this time
taste it with your mind this time this time
(please indulge me)
walk it with your eyes this time this time
smell it with your heart this time this time
<you like it, you love it>
come into my waterfall
<tick tock>
lost in this blessed infinity
unborn and free from sorrow
i've reaped of immortality
and i've consumed tomorrow
<how the mother provides>
dive down on your wings this time this time
<shift your shape, your spirit wakens>
drink up with your beak this time this time
<shed your fear, be not mistaken>
scale it with your claws this time this time
<shift your shape, your spirit wakens>
pierce it with your horns this time this time
<shed your fear, be not mistaken>
sway
in time
stay
in time
come into my waterfall
<sway / in time>
glow like the child that you are
sow all your spores
and we'll journey again
to the stars
now
after you've
come down
do you still
remember
lost in this blessed infinity
unborn and free from sorrow
i've reaped of immortality
and i've consumed tomorrow
come into my waterfall

caves of deep opal
and mountains of greed
treasures untold of
withheld by their breed
oh lord
stand in awe
as your kingdom expands
oh lord
do you laugh
as the warriors band
from a point
in the sky
beams of light
terrify
the hearts
and souls
of man
end of days
vaults filled with splendor
in houses of coal
rituals seek to
decipher the scroll
oh lord
make haste
or your lands shall decay
so bored
with a realm
that is rotting away
from a point
in the sky
beams of light
terrify
the hearts
and souls
of man
end of
days
hiding in your hideout
calling shots
behold his wrath is truly here
thy judgment comes
such mercy
the rumors
the lust
the madness
the trust

i'm in love with you
{don't beat my heart up}
but you seem to think that i'm a fool
(i'll show you soon)

i've succumbed to you
(don't leave my side, love)
but now i have you, my desire cools
(i'll kill you soon)
centigrade

(your lies are clear, your motives too)
i know very well you're just a tool
(i'll smash you up
beneath the moon)
don't turn me down
don't turn me down
(hell is nothing like us)
don't turn me down
don't turn me down
(i won't let you break us)

(i refuse to give this up)
oh no no
under teary eyes i
speak the words of coldest hearts
with my shaking hands i
crush the frame
you'll always be apart
i love you

running in the dark
where do they come from?
all these sounds
the national guard
is on the scent
what will the
predator do?
the prey is easy to lose
life isn't tough enough?
as if
life isn't tough enough
running in the dark
where do they come from?
all these sounds
the national guard
is on the scent
and now you're moving, moving away
and now you're moving, moving away
life isn't tough enough
(you'd better watch your ass)
life isn't tough enough
(they're hiding in the grass)
life isn't tough enough
(night stalker, night stalker keeps your terrified)
life isn't tough enough
(stop running, start thinking bout a suicide)
running in the dark
(keep running keep running)
where do they come from?
all these sounds
the national guard
(keep moving keep moving)
is on the scent
and now the animals long for the day
and now the animals long for the day
then the dawn breaks
no room to fight
day warms dead skin
child of the night
life isn't tough enough
(listen to fables whenever you're able)
(do as you're told and stay close to the fold now)
(follow your instinct of the night)
running in the dark
where do they come from?
all these sounds
the national guard
is on the scent
when does the predator hunger in you?
out come the stars and - the murderer's loose!

do you know what goes on
inside the head of man and woman
<fucking>
<sucking>
uh huh
you know
what's up
now, you ask
is it genes
or am i in full control?
it's not quite that simple
for you see
it's not me
who decides these things
then who does?
i don't know
why don't you
try yourself
let it glide
in and out
simple enough
aching
with sin
and repressed impulses
no choice but go on
dripping
with love
and our carna l vices
no choice but to go on
oh oh
gotta listen to your lust
oh oh
gotta listen to your lust

no!
apocalypse is now
the signs are in the circle
(in satan we're reborn)
hail
the one that pulled us out
from drudgery and rainfall
(reveal the final war)
<signals>
then, a heaven red
the angels fly
and the ground splits open
as his soldiers descend
do you hear them cry?
as the flames devour them
oh will you believe
in the signs of the circle
(in its vast proportions,
undimensions,
impossible)
the stars go out
the sun erupts
then fades
then screams
nothing but
screams
<don't let the circle down>
