1. Midnight Mountain
Sliding down the mountain, as dusk passes to day.
The antidote of elation, now lifeless masses wake.
Jaws of suxiety open, the luring vampire of agility,
a fatal invitation, sight hazing from me.
Oh midnight mountain, I require, inner relocation,
back to pinnacles high.
Drowning in empty faces, sinking in banal,
I crave the isolation of eventide when perception climbs,
I just need the injection, a dose to boost my flight,
a sonic blast of moonlight, nucleus ignites.
Oh midnight mountain, now I'm revived,
stimulus transcending, back to pinnacles high,
Screaming at doleful skies, absorbing all my sighs,
responding to my cries,
downcast a thunder of reprise,
won't let the next sunrise, signal my landslide,
from ecstatic highs, I'm on top of their demise.

5. Autumn Twilight
I got those midnight circles
And I pray deceived
Ooh how I despise you (memories)
Tongue tasting moonlight
A tribute to my pain
We could last for never (another game?)
Here in autumn twilight
Morphia cursed delight
I got those midnight circles
I drawn the hanged man
Movin towards Winter (yes I am)
Eyes seek inner spaces
Guardians of spheres
A touch of dementia's (fears)
Here in autumn twilight
Morphia cursed delight
And the sun shall never rise again
No more visions to be gained
Stricken mother of failings
Led into a shallow grave
Here I am now
So far away - hey
Internal reflections
Another maze
Here I stay now
Caught between
Lives that you form
And the lives I've been
6. Frozen Rapture
You gave to me
Affection I couldn't see
It felt like a rope
Tightening on me
Frozen rapture
Your warmth I couldn't trace
Echoed laughter
Bring sadness to my face
Hereinafter
Plagued by my own embrace
In my frailty
Your splendour did penetrate
Onto the cold
Floors of responsiveness
Frozen rapture
Your warmth I couldn't trace
Echoed laughter
Bring sadness to my face
Plagued by my own embrace
Buried within walls
Of ex-communication
Torch light never shines
Upon my isolation
7. Golden Blood-Flooding
Crystal towers
I've yearned to explore
Shatter as I enter their doors,
Splinters sink into tender parts of me
Devouring my inmost quality
Floating through a whimsical breeze
To the pitfalls of discoveries
Assassin of visual fallacy
Dispel aspiration, uncover travesty,
Fading convictions losing clarity
Descending to depths of insobriety
Golden blood flooding from me
Into eternal cynical streams
Dismayed by the curse of analogy
In theatrical and reality
Charcoaled spirit the stranger in me
Dissolved in timeless obstinacy
Spectacle of severity
Chasing myself away from me
Blemished wings of vibrancy
Elevate this bane from me.
8. Grim Luxuria (live in Japan '93)
Cold sin and fire, burning wrath and anger,
this crippled splendour of lust so dire yeah!
Insane visions of beauty, groanings so empty,
wriggling in agony, the frail corpse of love that's me.
Hair and eyes limbs and faces,
bending hard in fierce embraces.
Ooh this loveless rage, come give me pain -
arcane exotica, ooh grim luxuria.
[Chorus:]
Twisted lust on fire,
love the bastard liar.
Sick grins of pleasure, warped torsos in heaven,
bending tongues - saliva, licking lifeforms of grotesque.
On the floor bones cracking, like evil dogs mauling,
grunting in this ecstasy, - shaking, screaming, clawing me!
Pleading eyes mangled faces,
torn apart, in growling places.
Ooh this seething cage, white light in vain,
arcane exotica - grim luxuria.
Twisted lust on fire,
love - the bastard liar.
Oh sweet sanctity, -
hell is pouring over me.
9. Sweet Leaf (Black Sabbath cover, liv in Japan '93)
ALRIGHT NOW!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your surprise
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
I love you, Oh you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don't know, what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf
