1. Fall in Time (instrumental intro)
2. Yet The Choirs of Vendetta
Secret Envy!
Their statues lie shattered...
Like crystal chains
That binds the Vain
In Myriad egos lost
A roaring mechanism
An engine of sorts
Pounding without rest
Burning
Fed with Chaos
And beauty
A fragrance of the dead
The flavour of Decadence
Upon the Gypsy’s lips
Shivering in Paradise…
Their delusions to the Furnace
Stripped of Pride
Drenched in Shame
Flesh and Filth
Innocent Thespian
Of what speakest Thou?
A Furnace
Burning
Fed with Chaos
And beauty
Rustling leaves upon concrete
Dancing like Mice to the Flute
In grand Bewitchment
Yet the Choirs of Vendetta
Shapeless, in shrouds
Praising the Unicorn
And the Trinity
As they stumble
And fall
Maintain postures of Gala
Shading the Ridicule
Of a Glass Arena
And a stringed Minotaur
3. Plastic Transcendence
Thorns that pierce
Contemplative Stone
In neon light
Blood and Mud
Heroes
And Fools
Drenched in regret
And shame
It’s all Dust
And random Chance
Dust and Chance
The locks that have no key
Ambivalent and free
Absent, Distant
Plastic Transcendence
Stripping your bones
Of dying flesh
Faces so pale
Claws so black
Fathered by stars which shine no more
4. Comedy Of Gods
Void of Dementia
Clarity
Illusion
Smiling faces
Murderous gazes
The stylish savoir-faire
Of a pompous assassin
In minds that rot away
In pacing Decay
Sin, delightful and warm
Wine of the Damned Soul
Wandering in stupor
Walls, cold and unforgiving
Drink my blood
Mockingly
Solitude’s arms
Stretch far indeed
In strangling embrace
Like petals of nothingness…
The Tragedy of the Lovesick
In passionate Distance
A Comedy of Gods
Blinded by arrogance
Singing
Of Fire and Flesh
They take us in their arms
5. Bridges too Frail
As Giants
In a Kaleidoscope
Without Grace
And without Sense
Trampling the rainbow
With angry feet
Burning like beacons
Deep in the dark
Screaming and shouting
At deities gone deaf
Clinging to Life
As if their own
Ignorance and Virtue
Are Bridges too frail
They share an abyss
In silent Passion
On opposite sides
Standing alone
Blindingly brilliant
Superhero Rage
Vortex suns
Colliding in rapture
Within
Parallel to naught
Unbridled brute force
