1. Vertigo
Take me down
Into your black grotto
Where the air is thick with insects
Touch me with your secret
I close my eyes
And let the vertigo
Touch my mind
I close my eyes
And let your vertigo
Destroy my mind
I'll follow you
into the land of the insects
Where tumors blossom
Like roses of the old earth
(One for each to pick)
I close my eyes
And let the vertigo
Touch my mind
I close my eyes
And let your vertigo
Destroy my mind
I'll lie down
Onto the sour, filthy ground
And crawl with the insects
And share your sickness
2. Hollow Reflection
Deeper thoughts unknown to hope
lightyears of drowning
into the cosmos of the lonely
I was lost from your world
into the mazes of delusion
into the vast halls of the Night
Did you see me enter
the rooms of the night
Did you see me enter
your fragile dreams
Violent visions in a broken mind
Feed me with illusions
Attire me with your darkness
Under the rain of falling knives
I see you lying there open
in the ruins of the dying future
Did you see my
hollow reflection
Did you sense my
fathomless void
I saw myself there,
In a sudden, feverish moment
watching your lifeless body
in a cold future morning:
3. Transcendence
Your warmth is false
Inside your hollow bosom
You'll hide the solitude
Of the distant stars
In your party none celebrates
Grey autumn transcendence
Minutes turn into oblivion
Our voices to mould
Your hangman smile
My soul in your hands
I drink from your breasts
Grey autumn solitude
And I can see through your eyes
It's time to go
And I can see through your smile
It's time to go
All those long dead hours
Frequent time stops
Minutes turn into oblivion
Our voices to mould
Drowned wasps floating
in the chalice of the sweet nectar
all those beautiful moths eaten by flies
in this bizarre carnival
of a life-lasting funeral
Grey autumn
Play your lyre
For one last time
4. Black Carbon Snow
The sun looks down
from his high astral sphere
and pours down below
Its sad bacterial light
Upon this infection
Wounds of world burning
All the names that travel to void
in the fields of carbon snow
Where the youth turns to stone
Where bodies and dreams
Are material for the dust
material for Silence
Under the fermenting sky
Under the rain of carbon
witness the cold world
choke her children
And hide their bodies below
Down to the infected ground
Where the old nightmares hibernate
Under black carbon snow
(Where the youth turns to stone
under black carbon snow)
5. Quicksilver Clouds
The hand that smothers all dreams
Can never be lifted
From your tormented lips
Flew the infinity of pain
Cut down the voice
And let the echoes rise
To those dark clouds above
That hate our freedom
Before the arrival
Of the final Silence
You wished for the bright, liquid fire
The coldest silver
Like the purifying rain
To take you away
To take you away
Down in your pit
Where your broken body lies
I stare into your silence
Your eyes reflect the sky
Far away
Out of your reach
Those quicksilver clouds
6. Hyperion
Grey clouds of slumber
Move across the ether
Bury us under their lead
Fill our veins
With oblivion's wine
Above Hyperion smiles
I remember the sun in your hair
The wind on our skin
Descending of the void
Now broken
The spell of beauty
Within the blankets of the soil
Dreamers dream of void
Never break
The Silence of our Night
Above Hyperion smiles
I remember the sun in your hair
The wind on our skin
Descending of the void
7. The Destroying Angel
White flowers of mould
decorate your skin
(Deterioration of soul
I hear you sing)
My broken arteries
flooded with your sleep
Lead me through asphyxia
into the white fields of amanita
Through sweet sleep of narcosis
into the closed rooms of paranoia
Lights of the other worlds
shine through your open mouth
Embrace of the all-absorbing,
The Destroying angel
The door of future is closing
Frail reality failing
I hear you sing
the song of future failing
And I fall through the black hole of your eyes
Down into the deepest Theta space
And burn through the spheres of a million suns
Down into the plateau of my mind
Where the shadows are whispering
in the dimmest Theta space
Where the spell of your destroying touch
was crafted with higher mathematics
Where the universe is choking
Down on your unhealing hands
Destroying Angel
Devour my thoughts
Asphyxia
Amanita
Narcosis
Paranoia
8. Halo of Flies
And all the good people
From the streets
Came to witness
The miracle of death
All the children were there
Inhaling the foul air
Smiling at death
In infant glory
Their eyes shining
Bright and ignorant
And the flies were there
As a black halo
Above the body
Of a broken hero
Someone said
You are so beautiful
With a hole in your head
And the street became a sealed tomb
Filled with your silence
The mould built patterns
On the surface of your fading eyes
Your hands still reaching
For the azure sky
"Life is a brief drama
For the amusement
Of the true masters:
You will learn
To despise your kind:
:For when you fall:
We shall all walk over you"
9. Ophelia
I lost you to the distance
I sealed myself away
For nothing you said
Could touch me anyway
There was something you said
Can't remember your words
Something about dismay
Didn't know what to say
I lost your voice
In the vacuum of a moment
I saw you walk down
Into the black hungry waves
There was something you said
Can't remember your words
Something about dismay
Didn't know what to say
Your bridal gown
Lies under the moss
I wear my guilt
The crown of my shame
There was something you said
Can't remember your words
Something about dismay
Didn't know what to say
I took all the pills
You are no longer here
The walls are falling
The world slipping away
