1. Breathe In
2. Mother Pandora
White headed wisemen decipher your scars
Trying to read between the layers
Hold me tight, break my spine
Put me back into Hell of your womb
Let me suck your festering wounds
I’ll grow strong on pus and blood
For I am the first and the last
I am the honored one and the scorned one
I am the whore and the holy one
I am the wife and the virgin
I am the mother and the daughter
I am the members of my mother
The crown and the scepter of living cells
Pitiful regalia
“Love surrounds us all”
Thus spoke her dead majesty
I am she whose wedding is great
And I have not taken a husband
I am the midwife and she who does not bear
I am the solace of my labor pains
I am the bride and the bridegroom
And it is my husband who begot me
I am the mother of my father and the sister of my husband
And he is my offspring
Selfish bitch, mother paranoia
Cannot live without your poisonous milk
Cannot live without your lethal caress
Life is a cancer
Unnatural state
Kiss me, cure me
Mother death
3. Architecture
Natural order of things
The first lie and farewell kiss
Homo sum et nihil humanum
Nylon, plastic uranium, plutonium
Breathe in
Breathe out
In the basilica of the human body
Obey the law of flesh ever burning
Ten commandments of oxygen and carbon
Entombed in a pyramid of skin
Communicating vessels, acid, electricity
What a useless mechanism
Behind the walls of protein prison
Crowned with barbed wire of DNA
Imprisoned is this piece of shit
Are we indeed fingerprints of God?
Zero one zero zero one…
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
One one zero one zero one…
A human being
What a shame
I think therefore I am
What a waste
4. Most Arrogant Life Form
Shall we feel proud of being fate’s favorite toys?
Cain’s tribe, tribe the chose ones who have no choice
Salt of this earth, salt in the eye of providence
In the everlasting cosmic lotto
Father hydrogen mutates
Into self-confidence and presumption
Is Pigmalion proud of himself?
That poor old monkey Darwin was wrong
There was no evolution at all
Just the case history
The syphilitic clown Nietzsche was wrong
There is no ubermesch at all
All I’ve heard of were uberworms
That crippled bastard Hawking was wrong
For there is no time at all
The only dimension known to us is fear
The universe is constantly expanding
Yet midgets remain the same
What is above remains above
All is just a matter of scale
5. Yet Another Armageddon
It’s so tempting to have faith
It’s so hard to pretend
A new simpler theology
Eternity in a piece of meat
This is the first day of our last days
But no one cares…
We overslept another Armageddon
No one cares anymore...
6. Gambit
I didn’t start this wicked game
Neither were the rules of play mine
You invited me to the chessboard
Your pieces are white?
Fine I’ll take black...
Clever and cruel opening
King sacrifices his baby son
White knights move decidedly
Strange are the ways of black goats
Send your messengers up North
They will bring you coldness and doubt
Send your messengers down south
They will bring you decay and distrust
Send your messengers to the west
They will bring discouragement and disappointment
Send your messengers to the east
They will bring torment and pain
Time for the next move
You have your last eternity
Flag fall
Heads fall
It’s my turn
I fucked the queen
And she enjoyed the ride
I cursed your bishop
I impaled your knights
Checkmated God
Face to face with a free pawn
7. Midnight Crisis
It’s so clear for the very first time
It’s so close I can hardly believe
I wish I knew, what are these keys for
I wish I was lost in this labyrinth
I didn’t ask for these visions
I didn’t ask to hear the siren’s voice
I wish I was deaf and blind
I wish I could sleep at night
8. Pied Piper
Beautiful and wealthy is our town of Hamelin
Neighbors are green with envy, proud my fellow citizens
Our stomach’s are full, our dreams are calm
We can either kill or buy all that comes our way
Please your honors – said he – I’m able
By means of a secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun
That creep or swim or fly or run
After me so as you never saw!
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm
The mole and toad and newt and viper
And people call me the pied piper
But there’s this small embarrassing thing
Filthy, disgusting, stinking rats
They don’t belong here
They don’t match
Did almighty lord create the scum?
You can have your perfect world
But you will have to pay the price
‘Cause there’s the small, embarrassing thing
Filthy, disgusting, stinking us
We don’t belong here
We don’t match
Your father in heavens didn’t create us
Pay your bills fellow citizens
Or we will take your children with us
It’s not about hatred, we’re not your enemies
But you see, we have to feed the rats
And you will never learn
Who’s the hunter and who’s prey in this game
And you will never learn
Who is Pied Piper and who’s rat in the end
And you will never learn
Who is the leader and who’s been lead
9. Missa Solemnis
It’s immoral to have one eye
In the kingdom of the blind
Yet I believe that all in this world
Is the manifestation of God
I grow rusty nails in my wounds
I bathe them with my urine
They will blossom with blood
But they will never fructify
I breed this noble wine
On black soil Ge-Hinnom
What a lovely place to die
Home sweet home
I bake my bitter bread
In this crematory oven
I use human ashes as flour
And so big the dough grows
I know where I belong
And I know where to go
I’ve seen that episode on TV
I’ve seen it twice
I put the barrel in my mouth
That brings back peace of mind
It’s so much fun to play Russian roulette
With a fully loaded gun
This is the point when it starts
This is the point when it ends
I own all maps of human weakness
I have all keys to depravation
Call me by my countless names
Emptiness, confusion, despair
Satan tempting himself
The serpent swallowing its tail
Call me perfect, call me nine
Sins don’t leave scars
Call me hell
10. Breathe Out
This the last hour of the carnival
I dance, I dance though it hurts
Hangman’s rope suits well
Every gentleman
Madam, you look charming
In the necklace of blood
People say there’s a day after
Every night
People say there’s sun
Behind these clouds
What a relief
I’ll drink to that
Pour me a glass of poisoned
