1. Blood bane - The Slain Pt. I
Oh, Father, you got no good
From the crime you committed
Banished by the Almighty
He made thee anathema
And out of your curse of your exile there sprang
Ogres and elves and
Evil phantoms and giants
- and I. We who will strive with god
Time and time and time again,
Until he gives us our reward.
I, who in darkness dwelled
I, whose trapped in ghastly flesh
At nightfall I set out for the hall
The best of them were sleeping all.
Fierceful and dreadful I wreak my havoc
Thirty men taken as my onslaught starts.
Inflamed I blunder back
with butchered corpses at hand
This mayhem shall be ascension
of my reign in defiance of right.
I, who in darkness dwelled
I, who's trapped in ghastly flesh
In my reckless way I scorn the use of arms and remorse
No cutting edge of earthly blades
No blacksmith's art shall pose a threat to me.
The seasons of woe last twelve winters.
The Shieldings suffer under load of sorrow.
The grief is caused, the havoc wreaked,
But the sad lays won't be sung for ever more.
2. Six X & one
Like a dream
So touching - stays untouchable
Like my love
So scaring - veiled behind scars
And in some strange way
I knew it before
The landmarks on my soul's skin:
Six heart-shaped bullet holes,
Proudly worn scars of disappointment.
And in some familiar way
You are to stigmatise once more.
At first's a look - the lions tamed
The second touch - damnation's framed
The Third's a kiss - You beg for more
The forth does bite - Reveals the whore
The fifth will melt - As flesh will burn
And sixth unites - As our soul's turn
I'm the snake that offers bliss and insight,
Drink the poison I sweat in splendid voluptuousness
And the wine from my thighs to worship me.
This sacred ecstasy won't do us any harm.
To expose your innocence is a blasphemous lie,
Let thy feeble heart be inflamed by strength
To desire and claim all things of senses
For no god could ever forsake us then.
Found the secrets of life in scarlet satin sheets
In the caress of my beastly luscious doll
With her hair full of flames and her emerald eyes.
We loved, burning with this moment's pride.
Fire-walked on distant, ghostly ways
Through the soul of each other.
Sought the hour in which we'll see
The rebirth of Gemini in us.
Embrace me until no-one can tell
All my black from your beautiful white.
3. Jester's tribute
I don't believe that anything happening
Was meant to be this way
I just don't think that anything breathing
Will read the plan that failed at birth.
Come dance with me up and down
The spiral staircase of my ivory tower.
Forced into marble walls,
Locked behind golden gates,
A place where place where sorrow dwells
From where the chaos is spread.
6 reasons to cry
6 reasons to lie
And 6 more to talk in between.
6 reasons to live
6 reasons to die
And 6 more to walk in between.
And still I see me colonizing
The ground where I had built upon.
And yet I know below is quicksand,
That chaos swallows what was gained.
Come dance with me up and down
The spiral staircase of my ivory tower.
Forced into marble walls,
Locked behind golden gates,
A place where place where sorrow dwells
From where the chaos is spread.
So please read the next chapter
And absorb all these final words
And know what this jester's tribute is!
I have read the words of wisdom
And I've learned the fool's got to pay
A toll too high to find his peace in harmony.
4. Arabian nightmares
Strophe 1:
Beauty, immortalized in watercolours
Once more born on desert plains
When marble-white feet caress the ground
The bloom of blood flowers is the only sound
As this tune is yearned, desire will claim
Satisfaction framed in velvet pain.
Bridge:
Last night my sheherazade came to clear my dark
And I sent her astray Even though I hated to.
Strophe 2:
This thirst can't be stilled by water or wine
Drawn from earthly wells or mortal grapes.
Lust -stays unrelieved- will take its toll.
Bottled up spirits and barrels of souls
Might just be enough to fill every goblet
But mine, condemned to suffer thirst.
repeat Bridge:
Last night...
Chorus:
She told me "Life can be so simple."
If so then I must be dead.
Dreamt my love just in a second
The breath I took can't bring it back
Dreamt all this nights in delusion
The breath I gave won't take it back.
repeat Chorus:
She told...
5. Electric bloom
For the sake of paranoia
We master reality
And alter the sunlight
To shadow our downfall
Lead and brimstone engulfed
In flames at the gates
Of the ivory towers
When the last day is done
One candle and a mess of a trouble
we count the ravens over the pentagram
mental strength bursts like a bubble
abysmal science for man
Scenes from a memory of a time
When seasons changed awake
At this point when dream and day unite
Every image every word
falls into infinity
The witch and her cauldron
her secret spell now unleashed
giving life to stone
and cast ice over earth
One candle and a mess of a trouble
we count the raven over the pentagram
mental strength burst like a bubble
abysmal science for man
