2. Heroines
Tuck It In Or Take It Out For What
You Cannot See With Them Eyes
A Tired Hand, Her Naked Hand, Putting Me To Sleep.
It Won't Be Long, Your Glow
Has Left Me Dry And My Abstinence Has Been
Postponed By My Comfort In Denial.
And The Worst Lie It May Be That Hope Said
She'd Be The Last One To Leave.
Always Close Now Sense It Clear
For Years To Come I Can't Go Back
To The Things I Held So...I Held So Dear.
We Were Crushed By Her Halo Oh What A Way To Go...
Endlessly She Said Forevermore In Debt
Colourful, So Beautiful, With Fever Eyes Closed And So Free
Those Were My Heroines.
Freedom Roar From Senseless Mind
Apocalypse All Dressed In White
Saw It Coming Watched Them Leaving With All I Ever Was.
Broken Tissue, Broken Dreams Far-Fetched As Those Fantasies
Since Peace Of Mind Was Not Meant For Me.
I'll Praise Them Silently...We Were...Endlessly.
3. Poetic Pitbull Revolutions
Red Eyes Only, The Floor Comes Closer, A Kiss That Bruises, A Skin So Frail
Iron Taste Tongue, Rage Polluted, The Veins So Furious
With A Mouth That Will Never Tell.
Scars And Stitches Battered Heart Broke Down And This Time It Will Not Heal
Rear-View Lovers, Miss Them Dearly, Years Of Absence Has Made Them Pale.
Breathe And Soothe A Wake Mind That Cannot Sleep
So Much Hope And Now A Future That Looks So Bleak
But What If Time Is All We Have
To Make You Believe In
To Save Me From Leaving It All.
Dream Of Them Lights So Much Brighter, Voices Louder I Hear Them Sleep
Naive Prayers, Lone And Futile, Pulse’s Rising, It's Boiling Underneath
Didn't Know I Hat It In Me, Didn't Know I Had It All
Fuel Them Thoughts May They
Keep You Safe From A World
That Won't Wear You Again
They Tell You It's Lonesome When Led Astray
4. Rag Doll Physics
Pure As The Unborn Son, Pure As The Maid Should Be Ceased To Breathe Again
Never Look Away From Those With Nothing To Spare
But I Do And I Don't Want To Care Anymore
If I Close My Eyes Would It Spare Me The Sight?
Of Decay, Corruption, How We Nurture Destruction
And Everything That Will Doom Us All.
Chaos May Be Thy Name, You Left Us For Anything
Trust Never Been So Misplaced As In Your Arms That Day
Those That You Gave Away To Those Who Could Ease Your Mind
We Were Nothing But A Waste Of Your Time And Space
But I Do And I Don't Want To Care Anymore
If I Close My Eyes Would It Spare Me The Sight?
Of Decay, Corruption, How We Nurture Destruction
And Everything That Will Doom Us All.
5. D'Angelo
Nello Specchio Viso D'angelo,
Capelli D'angelo, Prigione D'angelo
Nello Specchio Scena Di Violenza
Tremo Senza Il Suo Abbraccio
Nello Specchio Filo Spinato Di Velluto
Vesta I Suoi Tremi Desideri
Un Silenzio Prezioso Per Le Masse
Accecarli, La Speranza Trasforma Ceneri
Fate Passare, Respiri Con Facilità
Mostrano I Suoi Pensieri Sulla Pace
6. Velvet Embracer
In The Mirror Angel Face With Angel Hair In An Angel Cage
In The Mirror, Violence Staged Tremble Without Her Embrace
In The Mirror Velvet Wires Dressed Her Shivers In Desire
Precious Silence For The Masses
Blind Them All Hope To Ashes
Make Way Breathe With Ease
Display Her Thoughts On Peace
The Truth In Your Eyes Never Should Have Been So Lonely
A Fragile Move Within
Breathing In Time With The Ones Who Never Owned You
Requiem, Invite Them All In The Mirror Cracks In Their Truth
Today She's Done, Today She's Gone
Gently Veiled In Violent Slumber
Eyes Forgave, Since Outnumbered
Save Her Innocence
Long Gone Is Her Scent
The Truth...
Cura, Mortuus, Sanctus, Veritas
7. Gunpowder Chant
8. Infralove
Wish For What You Never Had
Beg For Words You've Never Heard
That Told Them To Keep Waving At The Star
Told Them To Be Beautiful...
But Will They Ever Know Who You Are
Can They Be All You Ever Needed
When Those Hands Are Not For Tying.
I Will Let You Shine, Like The Most Sincere, Little Lie,
It Will Grow On You Like Tender Force Brutal Love
Closer To What You've Become Or To What You've Never Shown
Like A China-Voice In A Crowd
All Her Glory Might Come To Overthrow You
With Eyelids Closed, It's Time You Let It Go.
Can They Be All You Ever Needed
When Those Hands Are Not For Tying.
I Will Let You Shine, Like The Most Sincere, Little Lie,
It Will Grow On You Like Tender Force Brutal Love
I Will Let You Shine, Like The Most Sincere, Little Lie,
It Will Grow On You Like Tender Force, Infralove
9. Wedding March For A Bullet
So I Assume This Could Be Freedom From Me To You
And With Such A Distorted View Upon Life And What We Do
Your Ways To Persuade Me Into What My Memory Is Forced To Shade
I Loathe What You Made Of Me Bullet Blind Eventually
All Those Aching Hours With Abusive Powers
Whispered Your Name Through It All, Now We're Stuck With That's Left To Save
But Out Of All I Entitled You My Favourite Scar
I’ll Keep It Forever Closed, Keep It Forever Sealed, Keep It Forever Closed
So What If I Wake Up To The Sound Of Another Illusion Break
Smashed Now It's Yours To Keep Close To Whatever You Call Your Needs
Now When I’ve Seen You Fall I Can Finally Start To Recall
Sights Of A Past Unclear And Learn What I Should Hold Dear
All Those Aching Hours With Abusive Powers
Whispered Your Name Through It All, Now We're Stuck With That's Left To Save
But Out Of All I Entitled You My Favourite Scar
I’ll Keep It Forever Closed, Keep It Forever Sealed, Keep It Forever Closed So That No One Will Know
10. Qualms Of Conscience
11. Zodiac Virtues
You Try To Wake Up From Your Daze
It's Not Your Turn Though I Feel It's Getting Closer
Fall Back In Line And Please Retreat For Another Hour, For Another Week
Turn Inside To Reach Out, Sense You Close Yet You're Out Of My Sight
Now Open Up And In One Last Try Won't You Give Me Something To Remember You By
I'll Feed You Lies Like The Truth Shall Set Us Free
Try To See Not To Believe The Shaded Truth Of You
Please Don't Follow Me Into The Sun
Hope Things Might Turn, I’m All But Clear
My Mind At Ease In Spite Of What I Hear
I’m Hiding In Shades Where Peace Is To Be Found
The Faceless Just Waiting For You To Succumb
Those We Don't Speak Of Now, Those Who Dress In Sweeping White
Now Embrace The Future You'll Be The First To Meet
And Then You'll Better Wait There For Me
I'll Feed You Lies Like The Truth Shall Set Us Free
Try To See Not To Believe The Shaded Truth Of You
Please Don't Follow Me Into The Sun
12. Porcelain Judas
Clean Yourself Of Dust From A Broken World
Set Free To Adore
Your Love Tastes Like Mine
Empty Inside But With Nothing To Hide
Your Throat Cries What Used To Be My Name
Before The Guilt Drove You Insane
Give In, Give Up 'Cause In The End You'll Follow Me
I'll Reveal The Truth And All Of My Needs
Without The Skin, The Bones I'm God
Almighty Kneel Then Fear My Love
You'll Be Tamed
Lust In Spite Of What I Tend To See
If I Dye Those Eyes I'll Dye Them
Black Like Mine, Like Earthbound Wings Yearning For Sky
Your Body Cries What Used To Be My Name
Before The Guilt Drove You Insane
Give In, Give Up 'Cause....
Without The Skin, The Bones I'm God
Almighty Kneel Then Fear My Love
My Liquid Love Implodes Your World
Your Shelter Came Undone So Long Ago
13. Pink Noise Waltz
Well-Paid Jesus, Vicious Nails By Tired Angels Of Mine
Fresh Taste Of First Light When They Do Come Down
Skin-Deep Memories Of Siren Lullabies
Sealed From Us From Me From Everything You Go
Despair You Tend To Bring To Me, To Us, To Everything With Tide Comes
Holy Water, She's Breaking Those Waves
Holy Water, She's Breathing Those Waves
The Silence Keeps Her Sane
Tainted Sounds From Haunted Throats
Iron Tears On Satin Sheets
Silver Spoon, Bread Through Pain
Ether Eye Has Never Seen
Where Dirty Hands Have Never Been
Sealed From Us...Holy Water...
