1. Awareness
Tonight gods will star
Let the play begin
Tonight gods will die
Your eyes will see
Your bodies which won t be yours
Your ears will hear
Your voices which won t be yours
Listen to the bell
It s time to go
Listen to the bell
It s time to know
Naked you are
Standing on the desert
Alone you are
Standing on the desert
The dust on your hands
The past on your hands
Listen to the bell
It s time to go
Listen to the bell
It s time to know
Let the play begin
The gods have died
Let the play begin
There s only time
2. About Him (Then)
I distribute misery
So come closer
To me my child
Go take a lottery ticket
I believe
That it will be
The blackest one
Yes the blackest one
The bed s already made
So let your body
Rest on
The broken glass
But let not
Your scream
Out of your throat
Give it to me
Out of your blood
I ll build my house
Your tears
Will shine like jewels
I distribute misery
I give you this body
To feel
To feel pain
I
Distribute misery
So take
A lottery ticket
Don t you want it
I bet
You ll take it
3. Inner Harmony Of Demons
4. Two Coins
A wooden man asked me
If I had some gold
I gave him two coins
He drew a smile
A wooden woman asked me
If I had some gold
I gave her two coins
She drew a smile
Then the wooden people
Went back to their village
They bought a dagger
And a silver chalice
The woman stabbed me in the chest
The man washed their smiles out
The woman filled the silver chalice
The man drew some tears
I ve never been
I am not
I ll never be
I m. looking at my body
Lying on the ground
A colony of termites
Is just moving in
5. No Wine
Deep down in the dungeon
Mice are my only friends
Those whom I used to laugh with
Are peeking through the keyhole
I recognize the brown eyes
Memories are lurking
In the darkest corner
Ready to attack
The torturers in white
With pincers in their hands
Are pulling my serenity
Out of my mind
I want to die
The walls have disappeared
I have to follow her
There is no way out
I am already doomed
This bridge leads to nowhere
Once I thought that...forget it
It doesn't matter now
The temple is about to fall
I m closing my eyes
The dream s awaiting me
I cannot resist
I give up
An inviting voice
In the distance
Is calling my name
Let s drink some wine
There will be no wine
6. September
Put me into this ebony coffin
There is no need to comb my hair
Just wash my face with hot water
Bring some roses like their smell
Please draw the curtain
It is getting dark
I don t want my friends
To see me here
Turn the music on
Let it silently fill
The whole room
Let it be my morphine
You can now nail the lid
Doesn t matter that I m. still breathing
One lives as long as his own dreams
And mine, well mine are already gone
Put my coffin
Into the ground cold
Lie how much you loved me
And shed some tears
Then never ever dare
To mention my name
Just burn my image
And let me enjoy being not
7. After Midnight
Blindness
The maze I used to fly above
I laughing at me now
Another blind alley
The farther I go the more I bleed
Pain
Takes me to places I thought I knew
I m. not of their world
But I m. entangled in what they do
I ve drunk from the well of torment
And my bones on the ground over there
I ve dropped my life from my hands
Through the cracks all my future escapes
The wind from the maze
Wakes the sleeping birds up
He is long gone
The hungry birds are soaring over the temple
Everybody s here
Make yourselves at home
Let the feast begin
No one is alone
If I may suggest
You should taste my soul
It is stuffed with pain
Do you hear it howl
It is time for drinks
We ve got blood and tears
Why is the light so dim
Now enjoy the meal
I am on my knees
Down there like warm
Can t find the key
Can t even walk
Madness is hiding
From my eyes
Can feel its breath
Can feel it s close
All I asked for
Was that one small VICTORY
And what I got
Was an empty word.
