1. Vote For Love
We�ve been soaked in acid
Always praised the downfall
The sound of cadent wings
It�s a wonder we�re standing tall
But in the truth of the morning glory
And the fear in our wishing well
We�re on to another story
It�s about time we all get out and vote for love
We are white zombies
Chained to our own demise
Decades of sleepwalking
No light�s shining in out eyes
We�ve painted all doors bible black
Wir haben niemals kampflos aufgegeben
If there�s light we�ll claim it back
Time to clime it back
2. Children Of The Underworld
We are the children of the underworld
We are the children of the long lost dream
We lie in wait for our time to come
Floating on a neverending stream
Make no stay
Meet us all by break of day
We are the masters of decadence
We are the rulers of the deep
We aim for the final lucidity
The pristine, twentyfour carat sleep
Make no stay
Meet us all by break of day
3. Cain
I gave you my love
Though crystalized
I sent you a rose with nevermore
So many years
So many hours
And only thistles on my shore
For all that it's worth
The blood on my hands
Is the blood of divinities
And all that is lost
Sound or unsound
Only bonds between you and me
If I go will you follow
Me trough the cracks and hollows
And I would be your Cain
If you would be here now
The Mother-of-Pearl
Handcrafted by God
You're the tower they built to reach the sky
A White Falcon beauty
My mark on your skin
Follow me down the stairs when we die
Your soul is in heaven
Your body in hell
It doesn't matter much to me
In the night of the unborn
Sound or obscene
Only bonds between you and me
If I go will you follow
Me trough the cracks and hollows
And I would be your Cain
If you would be here now
Blessed be our Lady Nuit
Guide us to Ra-Hoor-Khuit
In your night we find shelter
Before the Helter Skelter
4. Brighter Than The sun
we could wander in the garden of eden baby
we could anything tonight, maybe
we could even touch the sky
if we just get up on our feet and try
we could wander in the garden of eden baby
will you settle for the bull`s run
for the second best of fun
for the fire of a handgun
burns brighter than the sun
any colour you like as long as it`s black
you have anything if you just give it back
you could be a celebrity like me
it won`t change anything as you will see
any colour you like as long as it`s black
5. To Have And Have Not
she shivered, afraid that i would shoot
she`d panic, afraid that i would not
she drank it all right before my eyes
said, be my lucifer, be my lord of flies
i can take all your blasphemy
i can take all your sins
i can end any moment
and let new one begin
she said, do it and do it now
yeah, let all black birds fly again
for all fires that burned before
as hell`s fire, shall burn bright once more
6. Whatever That Hurts
Decoction of Jimsonweed
Slimy trailing plants distil
Claustrophobia and blood mixed seed
Cursed downstairs against my will
Cobweb sticks to molten years
Cockroaches served with cream
I wipe the silver bullet tears
And with every tear a dream
With every tear a dream..
CHORUS
Honey tea, psilocybe larvae
Honeymoon, silver spoon
Psilocybe tea
Energy trickles with the tide
Masterminds and the suicide squad
Drink acid water by my side
Stake the saviour of thier daily fraud
Overfilled toothpaste tubes
Sleepless and timeless faces
Drippety drop on sugarcubes
The one eyed's eye twinkles and gazes
Twinkles and gazes...
CHORUS
Honey tea, psilocybe larvae
Honeymoon, silver spoon
Psilocybe tea
7. I Am In Love With Myself
I am in love with the waking
It is cold but I ain�t mistaking
Proud like Mary to be here again
To be here now with my very best friend
Merry go round I�m in love with the waking
And when I disappear
Into the night and out of the fear
Hunting with sword and spear
I am king Lear
Having a love affair
With myself
I rule if you follow
I spit if you swallow
You�ve been dealt the cards but there�s nothing at stake
What is it worth when your limbs begin to shake
King of black hearts in the parliament
A skinny white boy for president
Triumph at hand but still nothing at stake
8. In A Dream
In a dream
I'm climbing the clouds
I touch a subdued sky
With my bare hands
In a dream
Let me drag you through my world
My kingdom for your thoughts
What is in your mind
CHORUS
When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream
In a dream
I stand naked on a hill
I am looking down at me
Trying to touch my cold skin
In a dream
In a pool of blood
Evil is as pure as innocence
Evil is as pure as love
CHORUS
When the night is to rouse your desires
In a dream
And the world of darkness whispers
In a dream
Be prepared to leave your reality
In a dream
Wake up to a game called life
In a dream
9. Wings Of Heaven
I'll be your master and I'll be your slave
Until the day that you will dance avidly on my grave
Seems like a lifetime we've been living this lie
But I can't help keep lying when you undress before my eyes
The wings of heaven are descending
The touch of her naked skin's amending
The skies will collide
Only for a little while
And it will take us trough the night
Thank you my angel like belly dancing concubine
Like Cleopatra you're sleeping safe in a royal shrine
Thank you for the blood and tears and for the table dance
Wholeheartedly I thank you dear for our short romance
10. Cold Seed
What heals our snowblind weary eyes
When all start are slain by fiery skies
And every word upon your spiraling cross
Is but a mislead sun, a bitter loss
Inject us out of here
All I asked for was a little love
But from my hands flew the maiden dove
While clouds like cotton snowwhite sheep
Still calm beside their shepherd sleep
Inject us out of here
11. Clovenhoof
In a room with no doors I will loose myself to you
In a room with blackened walls I'm coming trough
In a room in my house you'll be seeing it trough my eyes
It's a perpetual sin, let the ritual begin tonight
It's alright, can't you see
It's ok, she is with me
Like the sand of our time
Clovenhoof
Are you the one they say you are, are you holy to the bone
Have you got faith enough to throw the first stone
Are you my flame when only darkness prevails
Are you my white wale, the hammer for my nails tonight
12. As Long As You Are Mine
you`re everything i want
only you can set me free
you`re an anges in the snow
you`re a shot in the arm for me
i will let you l.e.d.`s shine
as long as you are mine
you move and whisper softly
you move and safe and sound
you`re a tranquilizer
you make the world go round
you are here beside me
you make me feel fine
i`ll go through any day
as long as you are mine
i will let you l.e.d.`s shine
as long as you are mine
13. Love Is As Good As Soma
Love is as good as soma
I wanna crush all bones in you
Cause I've got nothing better to you
Well, I'm no son of Aquarius
I think the world is too small for both of us
[Chorus:]
Hug me till you drug me, honey
Kiss me till I'm in a coma.
Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny,
Love is as good as soma.
[x2]
And your friends and all your sister too
Let the world spin like the lovers do
Let the angels fly free tonight
For the devil's kiss, the deadly snakebite
[Chorus: (x2)]
Love is as good as soma....
14. The Sleeping Beauty
Alone I sit, I wonder why
You dream of love and so do I
But in your sleep you cannot see
This pain which is always haunting me
What I need I'll never feel
This world is for me unreal
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
And through the whole night alone I sit
CHORUS
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
The more I drink, the more I see
That suicide could be the key
To the place called paradise
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
But if I look beyond all this
I reckon something I would surely miss
Because in my dreams I rule my life
And the sleeping beauty is my wife
CHORUS
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
15. Gaia
A new serum eradicates the illness
An old man rises from his wheelchair
When suffering unknown attacks the painless
And common animals are becoming rare
CHORUS
As water spins in circles twice
Spiders, snakes and the little mice
Get twisted around and tumble down
When Nature calls we all shall drown
If the earth is dying of a growing thirst
Rain shall fall on dried out soil
And every kind of bud shall burst
A sough of relief to insects - turmoil
CHORUS
As water spins in circles twice
Spiders, snakes and the little mice
Get twisted around and tumble down
When Nature calls we all shall drown
