lucy was my first choise - lucy was the one
she was my silent voice - when all was said and done
yeah, lucy was a demon - she did it all my way
she`d give me all her fun - as long as i would pay!!
lucy gave me veil - like shaken crystal clear
when lights were turning pale - then i would still be there
lucy shone is neon - lucy swore she`s mine
and in anothes aeon - i would be the first in line
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....
While the rest of you are sleeping safe and sound
I'm on the run I'm on the wing
Climb the selling when the walls are falling apart
I'm the one to blame for everything
A substitute for God, a sacred muse
The hell with it, it's just a lame excuse
Everything I ever used I have abused
All I live for is my heaven of high
I'll be there when the sun goes down
Withered Jimsonweed a night on bad speed
This purple haze works in mysterious ways
Wait another day to wash my sins away
In another time, in another place
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
Blame my cloven hooves - If I sink what does it prove
I'll always will be your prey
Blame my crooked cross - Say I'm your bitter loss
The winds of hell are blowing your way
Dig your own hole and you'll be mine
Until heavens devour
Your very last hour
Blame it on Hell's fire - And on my desires
The skies are crying blood
Give me all your lies - And blame the lord of flies
The face of evil is the face of GOD
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
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
(Music: Edlund, Petersson)(Lyrics: Edlund)(4:19)
With a solar knife I split the sky
And walk right in between
To search the answers to every ³why?²
Where I have seen the unseen
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...I count the stars in my hands
And dream myself strong
To watch them twinkle on my command
As once a year in midwinter songs
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...
Instrumental
I've been through all of this a million times before
Seems all my demons got me knocking on hell's door
I know it's too late to regret what I have done
But I still love you like the morning loves the sun
Too far gone to see the light
And I will never ever leave this place alive
Too far gone to see the light
No I will never ever leave this place alive
I guess it's fair to say that this round is on me
Caribbean blue has turned to blackest misery
I've put a velvet cloth on everything we've done
But I still love you like a bullet loves the gun
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
You'd be forgiven for thinking I've got a heart of stone
You'd be forgiven for not picking up the phone
You'd be forgiven for thinking our love isn't true
Did I spend it all on you, did I spend it all on you???
The truth's for sale for just one kiss
And that's how I like it
Yeah, that's how I want it to be
The truth's for sale for just one kiss
You'd be forgiven for not loving me anymore
You'd be forgiven for not opening the door
You'd be forgiven for thinking our love isn't true
Did I spend it all on you, did I spend it all on you???
(Music: Petersson; Lyrics: Edlund)(3:12)
A sharpened shaft shines through morning dew
Drawn out shadows walk on you
Alone I stand to face the day
Tortured by a deathly silent view
Take my hand, please follow me
I was your love and your destiny
Let us over mistcovered mountains go
To a place where our lost souls can be
Not destined to a heaven built of lies and fantasy
We will sail to the empire of ecstasy
Travel through the back of out minds
And soon forever dwell in necromancy
The hall of Gods
Where you belong
If you have my blood
And faith that strong
May my words be engraved in the heart of every Man
Try to understand them as good as you can
"Drink to Lucifer or drink the blood of Christ
All things [are] depending on your own dreamland"
The hall of Gods
Where you belong
If you have my blood
And faith that strong
[instrumental]
(Music: Ekstrand, Petersson, Edlund)(Lyrics: Edlund)
If you are trying to interpret me
You're truing to put me down, you'll see
The dreams I have, you do not know
Don't make me the scapegoat on your insipid show
...Then I turn to you and say
"I worship Lucifer"
Friends turned out to be "Never been friends"
Liars don't listen, do not comprehend
Make up great stories, I'm the principal character
Hand in hand with "Evil" and "Sinister"...Then I turn to you and laugh
"I worship Satan"
My dreams were not worth it, I was told
By the people who want me to release what I hold
For all of you I sing this song
If you don't understand, my laughs will last long
...And I shall turn to you and say
"I worship the Devil"
The warrior went back to Rome
The nomads settled for solid homes
The crusader returned to heathen
The snake searched for garden of Eden
The manikin went back in her cocoon
And NASA flew back to the moon
The great white returned to the coral reef
As the geisha stepped up on a water lily leaf
Everything was like before
And the pharaohs killed the first born son
Good lord Jesus Christ went back to his whore
The whore went back to Babylon
The pope went back on the dole
And Santa flew back to the northpole
Judas went back to Nazareth
And the president back in his jet
The raven flew back to Hades
And the shemales went back to the eighties
The dandy went back to Perth
And the dead went straight back to birth

Within the heart of every Man
This symbol is its deep
A truly all descending power
But unfortunaly still asleep
You may put your hands before your eyes
But its gleam is neverending
How much you turn it inside out
It conceals just understanding
³The five pointed grey star carven
The sign of the Aryan race
The five pointed grey star carven
On the forehead of an evil face²

(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(4:57)
This dole crowner gallows me
As this mere welkin hallowed be
Whereupon I trick and train and tire
To limn my umbered love in fire
Before this noble mare bewrays
As I clearly see it all decays
In debile coil of smoke suspires
Ay our last orison quickens as we
Are drumbling near this poize of free
Quell me maculate slowly dyer
Case my remains with sharpened brier
Atone me to my throes curtail
To dim and dire fields I vail
And my eale's but a slumbering lierThen so lingered here but none
To buckle back what had begun
In molten aeons caged desire
Dared phantasma us much higher
Ceased to milch the clover flower
Neither raindrops nor my lover
Shall restore what has been done
When we're all keeled in freezing sun
(Music: Edlund; Lyrics: Edlund)(5:16)
Nailed to a pleasant sleep
Under the fullmoon light
Calculated ancient knowledge
Of Arab's wise words
I dreamed about a temple
I saw it in my dreams
A temple made of silver
With emeralds above
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
I visited the temple
In my imaginations it welcomed my
I tried to understand the language
And the sumerian cuneiform
I read about their gods
And in my dreams they spoke to me
They showed me the tablets of fate
Which since a battle belong to themIt is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
Then I saw the Ancient Ones
Slumbering in their cave
My dreams and my nightmares
The liers in wait bred my fear
I woke up from my dreams
The night had become day
Highly strung, rigid and struck
I peered through the morning fog
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry

It can't get any colder, no sun left, no light
It makes me even stronger, boosts my will to fight
So much undone
Let's get it on
No moral tells me so, there is no wrong no right
It's all that I do
It's all that I say
It's all that I live for
It's my only way
There's no point in waiting when there is no where or when
Blow it all to pieces and then build it up again
It's understood
So far so good
Start it all over and I'll see you there my friend
Animated junkies trying hard to be insane
With only water in our veins
You seem to think the planets orbit around you
Then it might be only one thing to do (hooo)
Silly cartoon creatures on cotton boulevard
Playing dead just like a retard
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares go away
And death can wait €˜til another day
So much for suicide - lots of talk but you never tried
A few pills short of a straight line - waking up still feeling fine
A loudpipe duck and a pink rubber Minni Mouse
A delirium trademark in a ?ardhouse
Wish I had your talent for feeling sorry for myself
Wish you dared to jump off that shelf
Lost my mind on a bungyjump on LSD
And in downtown Chicago demons haunted me
Almost drank myself to death in Malaysia
And in a Paris cafe one demon dressed like a geisha
And in Rochester my best friend started to fall
But a demon doctor gave him pills for it all
We were praying to God to forget and forgive
But a candyman spread stardust over Tel-Aviv
Sixshooter , sixshooter
Don't spend it all on me
And the scythemen demons were wearing black capes
Appearing everytime I tried to escape
They were eating raw meat from silver plates
And stomping their feet to the roaring V8
A demon sixshooter in a six-geared car
On the 38th floor in a rotating bar
With all hell's fire and a Vodka Martini
And a roulette hooker in a stolen Lamborghini
Don't spend it all on me
And the demon's fire burned a crooked spoon
In a plastic, fantastic oxygen cocoon
On a pharao trip as Egypt kings
Rotten, embalmed before the fat lady sings
And a red sun rose over a pay clinic
And I would eat more often than three times a week
The healing and soothing myrrh I'll apply
Fight the demons to hell until I fucking die
And the demon smiled as the circle spinned
And in my whisky sour the devil grinned
I was rolling another hundred dollar bill
And cleaning my nose for the ultimate thrill
Sixshooter , sixshooter
Don't spend it all on me
Time stands still with you
The night is ours once again
How many years,
How many million tears before it's only you and me?
When light issues from her deceiving beams,
Even Eve goes up the tree
And eats the forbidden fruit
No love without a prey
Our evil is inherited from our innocence
Our paradise is but a faded picture on the wall
And life's the archangel,
With blackened wings
But in the night
The throne is ours
(Lyrics: Emetic)(4:05)
In the fields of death at an hour of destruction the wind blew cold
A vast field of tombstones and cenotaphs all moisture-stained
As I walked across the field I noticed a human circle formation
Standing at the edge of a yet uncovered grave deep in mourn
ch.:
Buried and forgotten
In the dark and cold
In the moisty ground
Burial at night
Funeral
In the name of the father, the son and the antichrist
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust to reign in death
From the innermost depths of the open sepulcher
I heard a human cry for life and freedom
(ch.)
"I was mortal but I am fiend, I was merciless
My teeth shatter as I speak to you
yet it's not with the chilliness of the night
but this hideousness is insufferable"
(ch.)
That deep, hollow, inhuman voice echoed
Echoed down from the pits of the uncovered grave
The former human voice was now transformed
The former human voice is now the voice of the fiend
(ch.)
bridge:
Behold the vast formations of a funeral in the dark
Behold with fear the signs after a nocturnal funeral
(repeat bridge)
The loosers are the winners
The saints are the sinners
The angels in heaven
Keep falling, keep falling
God is no forgiver
He demands and you deliver
The demons in hell
Keep calling, keep calling
Trough the night shall all wash away
All the horrors of the day
And a little angel on my side
Tries to make it all worthwhile
And with a little beauty in my bed
I still wish that I was dead
And the little angel on my side
Takes me on a devil ride
No rose without a thorn
Dead before you're born
A world full of nothing
So keep praying, keep praying
That what lies ahead of us
In the eye of Horus
A new sacred aeon
We'll be obeying, obeying
[instrumental]
(Music: Edlund, Petersson; Lyrics: Edlund, Petersson)
Evil imaginations of a time to come
Dreamly dead - Almost gone
Nocturnal visits from the beyond
I will travel down the Mountain of Doom
At the highest point visible
I behold the sun for the very last time
I see an awful sight with awful beings
As the sun goes down behind the Mountain of Doom
The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life
Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and findI have lost hold of myself
Taken to the extent of my life
Eternal sleep in a dreamworld's coffin
Entombed beneath the Mountain of Doom
The Mountain of Doom
Has taken my life
Almost there
Trying to seize my mind
Still aware
Of their seek and find
Now I'm there
Enjoying my peace of mind
In this lair
Death is what you'll find
We're shards of glass but we're coming to get you
The earth is shaking, the underworld's born anew
It's a cosmic fusion, a dissilusion man
Gather your stuff and get going as fast as you can
It's all that I dream of when I pray to the devils themselves
The dust of Babylon fallen is on somebody else
And in the aeon of hope - A new sun will rise for you
And in the still of the night - The moonchild will watch you too
We're falling to pieces and that's why we're hunting you down
While you're falling from heaven we rise from the underground
No more turning the other cheek, no liers in wait
Waiting is over, the black knights have opened the gates
(Music: Edlund, Petersson; Lyrics: Edlund)(3:44)
Lady Temptress
Lucifer's daughter
Born in my flesh
Arise and be revealed
Unknown for the corrupted minds
She dwells in malignancy
In the distant crypts of your inner self
Where Man of God doesn't seek
Please don't leave me Lady Temptress
Revel in my body Lady Temptress
Lady Temptress
Meet me in my dreams
Trace my dark sides
In the depth of my subconscious
Open the door
To the slumbering sinner
Rule my evil thoughts
And let them all outPlease don't leave me Lady Temptress
Revel in my body Lady Temptress
Lady Temptress
You are the blood of Man
The remedy to hypocrisy
Please stay alive
You keep my desires unlocked
And my desires breed in you
The Lady of temptation
Hails the human nature
Please don't leave me Lady Temptress
Revel in my body Lady Temptress
I beg on my knees
Make love to me one more time
(Lyrics: Emetic)(4:09)
Deep down in the tombs
Dried out and embalmed
Royalties embedded
Locked under a curse
Powers of mortis
Trapped in the talismans
Shaman's evil spells
Await at the door
pre.ch.:
Unbroken silence rests
A universe of unholiness
Pale funeral lilles scents
Narcotic incense detest
ch.:
In the shrines of the kingly dead
Down unlit and illimitable tombsDelving in a mummy grave
In sickening odours
Penetrating magic's locks
Pharao's curse reveiled
Icing winds are blowing
Shuddering the ground
The ancient tomb is crumbling
At a touch on an amulet
(pre.ch.)
(ch.)
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
Are you a swanlake or a nutcracker
A sleeping beauty or a poor slacker
Have you got oil for your glitches
Have you got thread for your stitches
Are you a suit of armour or silk seethrough
Do you think not even bullets can stop you
A snowball that starts avalanches
But have you got bleaching powder for your conscious
However you look at it you loose
Nothing in this fucking world can do you harm
But have you properly installed the fire alarm
Carefully read all prescriptions
Do you believe you're the chosen exception
Are you a flamethrower or a burned out light
A kit kat walk or a dogfight
Are you the water in a glass of Pernod
Or the blood in a heavy Bordeux
However you look at it you loose
Are you gonna tell me now?
You're only but so is the desolate one
You're drowning but so was the first born son
I'll soak you in fire, fill your black holes
And free your soul
Always cold outside
And it's freezing inside
Into the fire we ride
A shortcut out of the white
Until we're stitched to the night
Our faith our light
You're standing still but spinning around the sun
You're flying with your feet still on the ground
You're pray in this world, it's eating you
And that's what I'll do
there is a time when some of us are healed
there is a time you`re clean and undersealed
there is a time it almost looks like fun
there is a time for the bullet of a gun
no one here drinks water
none of us are sane
if you pretend you`re my daughter
we do it again and again
no one here is praying
`cause no one here is god
and every word we are saying
might as well be put in blood
there is a time when worms revel in me
there is a time for a pigfaced reality
there is a time and it`s usually the afternoon
there is a time and i hope it will be damn soon
(Music: Edlund, Sorychta)(Lyrics: Edlund)(5:07)
Come down, slowly
I¹m waiting by your side
Come down, carefully
I¹m waiting by your side
I¹ll grab you when you fall
Down to the waking hours
Silents sweeps as golden corn
Down to the waking hoursHow I wish that I could
Break into your dreams
Do I have the force I need
To break into your dreams
I hold you in my arms
Dimmed by scarlet morning red
I whisper in your ear
³Do you dream of me ?²

The marriage has gone to my head
The wedding trumpets are dead
Replaced by a static noise
So loud that I can't hear my own voice
Will those signs lead me out of here
Well, just take me somwhere
To the planes where angels sing
Trough the chime and the clattering
For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
There is a little you can do
When shadows fall I will desert you
Then that's what you will do
For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
And with a tear of morning dew...
My temples born anew
Lead me inside
Lead me inside
Lead me inside out of the cold
Let me inside
Feel me inside
When the seed is sown
Our love's dead by dawn
And as the day begins
The sun is soothing my skin
And I am divided
I am divided
For love
I have to say
That all of this time
I waited for someone like you
Your are my dream
Your are my dream
Your are my dream
Hallowed dances upon glorified graves
Twisted minds, blasphemous slaves
Witches and demons are supporting the dead
In worship of who they are lead
Views of midnightly risen stones
Sounds of clattering skulls and bones
Like shadows they cling tight onto trees
Proud of their evilness, they are God's enemies
They are gathered here in the fivepointed star
To close up ritual of a time so far
End what was not ended before
To meet the lord Satan they highly adore
The Dead Boy's Choir whispers through the eternal fire
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(3:51)
What heals our snowblind weary eyes
When all stars are slain by fiery skies
And every word upon your spiraling cross
Is but a misled 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
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(5:26)
Soothe my skin
My sweetness of soul
Your dream I dreamed
Dear wateringhole
A bride divine
In ruby eyed crown
Deep underneath
Your soft waterdown
I breathe in the fumes
Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride
I confess myself doomed
You won again
Godly different kind
My air has ceased
To the deepest peace of mindWhat it once ment
Is lost in the end
With profound words
Of just being friends
A timeglass you turned
Of hours getting late
How fatal then
Is all of your hate
I breathe in the fumes
Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride
I confess myself doomed
You won again
Godly different kind
My air has ceased
To the deepest peace of mind
Awaiting dawn for a night of unholiness
Awaiting a sign as sacrifice is cast
Bow down to the lord of eternal might
Save us from the second coming of christ
Watching as the virgin writhe in fear
Drain her blood from a gasp in her throat
Set fire to the altar and watch her burn
Unholy buried in an unholy grave
[pre.ch.:]
The blood of the sacrifice seeps into the ground
Crimsoned liquid stains the pentagram
Unholy warriors on an antichrist crusade
The efforts of the unnamed is proved and witnessed
[ch.:]
Walk into the
night without fear
Under the black
sky we immolate
The prevention
of rebirth
Sacrificed blood
stains the earth
Reading scripts from scrolls of parchment
Written in fear with trembling hand
Hebreic spells and arab ecstasy
Black magic curses to mortify mankind
Breath the incense mixed with blood
Fill up the thurible with fresh skin
Approach the altar once again
Lit up the fire and carnage is a fact
[pre.ch.]
[ch.]
[bridge:]
Apotheosis of morbidity
In the sign of the dark and the bounds of the black
Revel in the cursed morbidity
Burning the church and assassinate God
Apotheosis of morbidity
Again we will rise and terrorize
Revel in neurotic virtuosi
Revel in their face and dance on their graves
(Secret Instrumental Track)
Always learn from history
To be sure you make the same mistakes again
Dig with bare hands or a silver spoon
But never change the masterplan
The face of god
In velvet black
The skies are full of angel holograms
London bridge is burning down
My fifteen minutes seem like fifteen years
As time goes by we slowly rot away
It happens here and now and everywhere
it comes smoothly at start
stirs gently in the colour pot
centrifuge
restore amends
for every spiralchange
a snowflake bride
a heroine (---heroin, psilocybin, mescaline, psilocin, fucking oxytocin bitch)
a quark resolution of god
an angel in powder snow
symmetrical asymmetry a newborn star of logic a newborn star of magic
take a shortwave frequency ride
(any you like)
what you believe in, you'll find
close your eyes to see
this will take a while...
i wipe the steamy window lustre
today i'll attend a new planet earth
after you sir...
(Lyrics: Emetic)(4:30)
A silent secret
of unfathomed darkness
Uncounted years
Within the temple walls
Lightened up by the moon
It's pale walls cold
Entrance not allowed
Guarded by invisible evil
ch.:
Rising above the trees
High out of the mist
Dead for many years
A temple in the dark
Approaching the temple
from surrounding forests
In a window I saw
an altar flame aglow
In the primal shrine
Moist and dust
Untouched for centuries
Ancient bible scripts
Phosphorescent glow
Reflects in the mould
Flickering radiance
Inside the dead halls(ch.)
Echoing inside the church
Unreal chants
Just sheer delusion
of a sickening mind
Extravagant visions
Chaotic incidents
Dare I enter
my disposable grave?
(ch.)
(Music: Edlund, Petersson; Lyrics: Edlund)(5:24)
Black, cold and dismal
Sweeping through the nocturnal haze
Led by the midnight breeze
On its journey to its resting place
A shadow out of time
Hidden between different spheres
Forsaken by memory
To forever fly alone
A Winter Shadow
Under the haunted starlight
Under the light of the moon
Among stars so bright
Delivered from Gods
And cursed to an everlasting search
Passed certain heavenly places
Cried out at the gates of light
No open door was seen
Why it decided to assault
At the throne of the Almighty
It asked for hospitality
But the hands of God
Threw this stranger outA Winter Shadow
Under the haunted starlight
Under the light of the moon
Among stars so bright
Delivered from Gods
And cursed to an everlasting search
Time for a final step
It searched through darkened space
Ended the hellish gates stood proud
But a shadow out of time
Yet caught between spheres
Is supposed to enter the night
And forever fly alone...
To forever fly alone...
(Music: Petersson, Edlund)(Lyrics: Edlund, Hannah Stjarnvind)
I was your fear and you were my fate
I wanted you near but I bred your hate
You left me for dead, deep down in the mud
With scars on my head, in my heart and my blood
On my head, in my heart and my blood
On my head, in my heart and my blood
"A caress of stars
A silhouette in the twilight sky
The daybreak sets on silver seas
My name echoes through Crimson hills
On the horizon, where seas meet clouds
A scenery shimmers beyond reality
I glance a world as a recent lit star
A am swallowed by universe"A vacant eye caught the last moonlight
A wish to die to be shining bright
As a star to light your way
To where we are not lead astray
Where we are not lead astray
Where we are not lead astray
"A caress of stars
A silhouette in the twilight sky
The daybreak sets on silver seas
My name echoes through Crimson hills
On the horizon, where seas meet clouds
A scenery shimmers beyond reality
I glance a world as a recent lit star
A am swallowed by universe"
Deep in death
Wrapped in the morning beauty
Comes close my love
My dearest sister and friend
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
erase the pictures from my mind
eliminate the presence of your kind
unloose the strings of instinct laws
just to fall into some other jaws
in pounding afternoon i rise
for the pleasure of dying twice
a wingcut anges in decline
breathe my air and i`ll be fine
put your teeth in me
carve your name in me
i don`t care if there is something
that i`m blind to seeinvite yourself and feel free
to pick up splinter of debris
it`s in your sys.ex
subdues all that`s delusive
initially this lie i`d recoil
but again i crawl this dirty soil
of all possessions i did treasure
this one`s strictly for her pleasure
no candycoloured paradise
no stary blackholed eyes
no more dreams of neverend
through embers only dark descends
no more comatose sleepwalking
no feeble sideshow toungetalking
not even crucified you`d get that far
nor escape the shining mourningstar
no lies shall opiate your senses
no spying glasses with shaded lenses
nor suns that burn a brighter tint
just lucid weaves in pristine mintno more angels in the snow
no more hunting high and low
no more water in our veins
to seek out gold from grains
no fight to win or loose
no single path to choose
no second comind at all
just a simple rise and fall
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
we drank as much as we could
and she drank more than she should
we sumbled out of this cheap whiskey bar
and that is the story so far
guided by the dim streetlights
we walked through the black harbour night
no people, no passing car
well, that is the story so far
-she things she smells the northland snow
northland snow
and she`s as glad as i to go
ay, to go
hey very bolts are sick for shore
sick for shore
and i, i want it ten times more
ten times more-she silenced her mouth when i asked for her name
and she asked me please do the same
she said it`a all written in the stars
and that is the story so far
but she whispered her name when i kissed her goodbye
her voice stained by whiskey and tar
she went back to where she belonged, and i
i went back to the bar
your dance like liquid fire
like crystal methedrine
you make the stars come closer
the most beautiful girl i`ve seen
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 roundyou 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

Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Just won't forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds
Cling, cling to your mind, my words
Never trust a foreign race
All the sweetness you have heard
Has put your soul in carbon haze
Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Just won't forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwindsCling, cling shattered nerves
To the queen you did adore
Has turned to stiff ebonite curves
In scarlet waves on distant shore
Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Just won't forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(3:34)
By a pool
Of amber water
A sticky smell
Of carrion kind
Integrates with nature slowly
Green fields I offer you
Snowy mountains in present air
The sunflower tounge
On a wave comes the saturn king
To grant the man on the beach
Surfing on his orbital rings
A frightened mental vortex we'll be
A sun we seek, a sun we flee
A scar
Upon mother earth
A nebular each
The desolate one
The desolate one
the desolate one
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(4:14)
Not far from where I live
They glance in morning breeze
As dividing tiny rays
A morning tries to seize
Greet me my proud little soldiers
Of brown, purple and grey
Carry us on your shoulders
Carry us far away
If you begin to fall
Please have some more
You could stay at my place if you want
I'll sleep on the floor
In shades of purple cloth
They guide us to the light
With irresistable pride
To the feast they us inviteGreet me my proud little soldiers
Of brown, purple and grey
Carry us on your shoulders
Carry us far away
If you begin to fall
Please have some more
You could stay at my place if you want
I'll sleep on the floor
(for long and faithful service)
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(4:47)
Overhead my spirit flies
In plasticide and crimson skies
Whispering winds in moonlit wood
A totem oak once golden stood
How I wish that you were here
Before all flowers disappeared
We'd lay together in the sun
Before the mindrape had begun
Now stones are falling from my hands
Are shaking all my beloed land
A watery glimse back on my past
And only in my tears it lasts
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)(10:32)
The threne my love that opens now
In cattle blood of aery brow
Con that life's a dream not to affy
As embodied matter love will die
You twinkle still in argentine
When I palmy dout the rapid din
To force the mure, the pain I hide
As you're not longer by my side
Mazed I helmed this crater deem
Stranger than a stranger seems
Wished to shroud the sortance leer
And yarely wink the eyes of fear
Splay the moon that foolish be
And let the sunshine ravin me
Beyond the love I do behold
A ken I saw, a fane of gold
I'd peize in pounds our insane blend
And phantom laid a smile I send
Eke an ounce of purple fire
And fairy eyes no longer twireWould fain to stalk the colour fields
But tickle i shall stark lonely yield
Merely in drowning water clay
As anguish wears but shades of grey
To retain the chains of elder squire
I'd prune the funeral skies denier
Once in awhile he still appeals
To remind you all it's still for real
Breathing smoke and fire
But the face of evil that haunted us
Was never ever present thus
The cupid rainbow ties an orb
In which every demon shall absorb
Do you think I care?
Do you really think I care?

It comes smoothly at start
Stirs gently in the colour pot
Centrifuge
Restore amends
For every spiralchange
A snowflake bride
A heroine
(---Heroin, psilocybin, mescaline, psilocin, fucking oxytocin bitch)
A quark resolution of god
An angel in powder snow
Symmetrical asymmetry a newborn star of logic
A newborn star of magic
Take a shortwave frequency ride
(Any you like)
What you believe in, you'll find
Close your eyes to see
This will take awhile...
I wipe the steamy window lustre
Today I'll attend a new planet earth
After you sir...

Robin goodfellow
Dianae, my muse
Morpheus in my heart
Your sand in my veins
It's a deeper kind of slumber
What is universe anyway
But a pouch of silver coins
The intense breathing
Of a dying animal
A foreboding of afterlife
Master keys in oaken chest
The somewhere is mine
And from there I'll continue
All I asked for was a little love
Meet me on the other side
Where as a rose I will wake
Though blind I'll follow
Every step you takeDianae, my muse
Dianae, my solitude
Cease to exist, rise to exist no more
It's a deeper kind of slumber

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...
Honey tea, psilocybe larvae
Honeymoon, silver spoon
Psilocybe teaEnergy trickles with the tide
Masterminds and the suicide squad
Drink acid water by my side
Stake the saviour of their daily fraud
Overfilled toothpaste tubes
Sleepless and timeless faces
Drippety drop on sugarcubes
The one eyed's eye twinkles and gazes
Twinkles and gazes...
Honey tea, psilocybe larvae
Honeymoon, silver spoon
Psilocybe tea

With a solar knife I split the sky
And walk right in between
To search the answers to every "why?"
Where I have seen the unseen
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...I count the stars in my hands
And dream myself strong
To watch them twinkle on my command
As once a year in midwinter songs
I stole the colour of night
To get out of your sight
I am the Visionaire
Follow me if you dare...

Within the heart of every Man
This symbol is its deep
A truly all descending power
But unfortunately still asleep
You may put your hands before your eyes
But its gleam is neverending
How much you turn it inside out
It conceals just understanding
"The five pointed grey star carven
The sign of the Aryan race
The five pointed grey star carven
On the forehead of an evil face"

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
As water spins in circles twice
Spiders, snakes and the little mice
Get twisted around and tumble down
When Nature calls we all shall drownIf 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

I came so close, so near
That I almost got out of my shell
When a pink coloured vision did appear
A girl with something to sell
The girl offered me a pocket size sun
I beheld its innocent smile
She said "If you wanna have fun,
It will take you to heaven for awhile"
An inch from the blue skies ceiling
I was touched by her careful fingertips
With the sun we shared our feelings
And I finally kissed her ruby lipsShe started to sing a lullaby
Origined from ancient Senoi
"In dream's realm can no one die
Sleep safe my little boy"
The sun cut my eyes like a dropblade
Drew elseworlds in the sand
My memories began to fade
And did suddenly slip through my hands
In the sand I found two wonderful shells
As like as two peas
And I thought I could hear the sound of bluebells
Behind the roaring seven seas...

Not aware of what you've buried
You feel comfortable that way
You're living in a smaller world
That is sometimes far too small
Then you'll come to me
Asking to share my world with you
And maybe sometimes I do
But never again for my own sake
The girl opened her mouth
I opened my veins
The girl opened her heart
I opened a door to another world
I opened a door to another world
I opened a door to the entirety
I opened a door to the entirety
Lonely in a cell
I still hear the voices of the wind
And rule at times great areas
Greater than you'll ever know
This moment leaves no time to think
The past is always limited
But in my dreams dwells everything
And never again shall I let you in
The girl opened her mouth
I opened my veins
The girl opened her heart
I opened a door to another world
I opened a door to another world
I opened a door to the entirety
I opened a door to the entirety

The smell of flowers, the smell of grace
If I could only find such a wonderful place
The place not known before you die
A paradise above the skies
The smell of incense takes me high
Way up high where eagles fly
If I close me eyes I see it clear
The visions are whispering in my ears
The smell of pain, the smell of death
The odour that is my last breath
The smell of incense takes me high
Way up high where eagles fly
(Music: Ekstrand, Peterson. Lyrics: Edlund)
Rip out my heart and put it on the table
Read my life in the blood
I am waiting to answer your suffering pleas
As a deathly silence does curtail my remains
In the river of tears ruins blood from my eyes
Yet another morning is emptying my veins
Alone I seek, a tiny groove I stalk
In the river Lethe I slowly drown
Empty screams
To fill a new world
A place I've missed
Bodies are courses where maggots are turning
Souls are flames that are forever burningRaging flames cover my corpse
Far from identity and remembrance
But the shades of my mind are still carrying
Colours of most beautiful kind
Around the cenotaph I am scattered
I am in the air you breathe
Let us forget me for awhile
And I bet you'll remember me no more...
Empty screams
To fill a new world
A place I've missed
Bodies are courses where maggots are turning
Souls are flames that are forever burning
(Music: Petersson, Ekstrand, Edlund)(Lyrics: Edlund)
If I walk on the water today
Will people worship me tomorrow
Will my name be spread faraway
To give people both strength and sorrows
Look into my crystal ball
I have got news for you my dear
There is a God inside you all
But he is hidden in your deepest fear
Step outside the clouds that hide you
The black clouds that cover youListen fools, a dream I send
If you make the madness end
Else I shall a nightmare call
To do harm within you all
You call me Satan, I call me sin
I breed in you but you have locked the door
Open yourself and you shall win
And you'll not even need me anymore
Step outside the clouds that hide you
The black clouds that cover you

People! This is my world
You are just parts of it
If I would have been a big tree
The you would have been the fruits of by boughs
But join me
We're all kings
Don't fear for your insanity
Fly on its wings
Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight
Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights
Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams
And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems
In the end fruit always fall to the ground
And new flowers soon blossom
When watching you rise and fall
My limbs proudly extend you above
So join me
We're all kings
Don't fear for your insanity
Fly on its wings
Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight
Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights
Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams
And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems
In the end fruit always fall to the ground
And new flowers soon blossom
When watching your rise and fall
My limbs proudly extend you above
So join me
We're all kings
Don't fear for your insanity
Fly on its wings
Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight
Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights
Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams
And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems
Okay, beneath my magnificent crown of tree
I am being stained by dead bark and wounded twigs
Yes, it makes black holes..., but it opens doors
And that's what is giving me places for only a king to rule
Join me
We're all kings
Don't fear for your insanity
Fly on its wings
Take my wings and rely on them in battle and fight
Fly on my dreams in the darkest of nights
Put those wings of gold to the fear of your dreams
And notice that what scares you is not always what it seems

Hallowed dances upon glorified graves
Twisted minds, blasphemous slaves
Witches and demons are supporting the dead
In worship of who they are lead
Views of midnightly risen stones
Sounds of clattering skulls and bones
Like shadows they cling tight onto trees
Proud of their evilness, they are God's enemies
They are gathered here in the fivepointed star
To close up ritual of a time so far
End what was not ended before
To meet the lord Satan they highly adore
The Dead Boy's Choir whispers through the eternal fire
(Lyrics: Hellslaughter)(6:08)
Enthrone thy sacred soul
to enter the lands of mist
Invoke the path
of gathered stars at night

Binding conjurations
in the circle on the top of the hill
Face the crown of history
that is older than time
Break the seal and vanquish your
vague imagination
Open the gates
and the entire life is found behind

The memory of your name will be carved
in the minds of the shadows
In the mind of evil it will be
Eternal life is obtained for you
where the serpents ever dwell
bridge:
Seven Ancient Ones are they
Raise the lords of all that is evilAwake, by rites
the beyond of man
The living part
of death approaches

Leave your body tonight
Reach the evil tonight
The final ritual tonight
The end of this world tonight
Dignity is recieved
from the rulers of the depth
Hailfully praises thee
The obscure freedom is yours

through dimensions of time
In the eternal wind it will blow
Eternal life is obtained for you
where the serpents ever dwell

Whispers in the dark held me
tight in chains of horror
Petrified I sat in the unknown
Cemetary amidst the tombs
Disembodied voiced called me
Inhuman eyes watched me
Cadaver fumes struck my nose
and in terror I turned around...
ch.:
I - watched
Amorphous, necrophagous shadows
dance - beneath
the cursed waning moon
Hands of demoniac dexterity
swayed through the vague abyss
struggling in the dark mist
to regain full control
I uncovered the soil
and found a dismembered body
where the flesh partily
putrid and partily carbonized...(ch.)
Dark winds chilled me
Evil lurked in the dark
breezes from hell
I could hear all the hellish
chants and vast
windborne voices echoes
"Rise in for the master
and the sign of the pentagram"...

I - watched
Amorphous, necrophagous shadows
dance - beneath
the cursed waning moon

(Lyrics: Emetic)(6:04)
Awaiting dawn for a night of unholiness
Awaiting a sign as sacrifice is cast
Bow down to the lord of eternal might
Save us from the second coming of christ
Watching as the virgin writhe in fear
Drain her blood from a gasp in her throat
Set fire to the altar and watch her burn
Unholy buried in an unholy grave
pre.ch.:
The blood of the sacrifice seeps into the ground
Crimsoned liquid stains the pentagram
Unholy warriors on an antichrist crusade
The efforts of the unnamed is proved and witnessed
ch.:
Walk into the
night without fear
Under the black
sky we immolate
The prevention
of rebirth
Sacrificed blood
stains the earth
Reading scripts from scrolls of parchment
Written in fear with trembling hand
Hebreic spells and arab ecstasy
Black magic curses to mortify mankind
Breath the incense mixed with blood
Fill up the thurible with fresh skin
Approach the altar once again
Lit up the fire and carnage is a fact(pre.ch.)
(ch.)
bridge:
Apotheosis of morbidity
In the sign of the dark and the bounds of the black
Revel in the cursed morbidity
Burning the church and assassinate God
Apotheosis of morbidity
Again we will rise and terrorize
Revel in neurotic virtuosi
Revel in their face and dance on their graves
(Music: Edlund, Ekstrand, Peterson)(Lyrics: Edlund)
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
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 dreamIn 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
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
(Music: Hagel, Edlund)(Lyrics: Edlund)(Dedicated to Hannah Stjarnvind)
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
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking worldThe 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
The sleeping beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world
(Lyrics: Hellslaughter)(4:28)
He comes at night when the moon is worshipped
A living evil on golden wings
He comes to take me to the abandoned land
The land where darkness is ablazed
A leap in the dark, a step into the forgotten
through the gates of the betrayal breeze
I know that the time has come for me
...My soul is given to the shadows
pre.ch.:
He comes to bring your soul to where it belongs
He will give you the dark and black
ch.:
A ghastly scream from an inhuman shape
and your body is layed to rest
A giant evil inside your soul
will take you to the malicious paradise
(repeat ch.)I glorify my gloomy fate
as I reach the point of sins
I glorify the land of the dark,
the place where I am one
I deny the faith of christ
'cause I have seen the truth
The truth is evil, dark and black
and the evil is for all of us
(pre.ch.)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
`cause what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
`cause what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
`cause what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you
guess my name, guess my name
Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you
guess my name, guess my name
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
Whispers in the dark held me
tight in chains of horror
Petrified I sat in the unknown
Cemetary amidst the tombs
Disembodied voiced called me
Inhuman eyes watched me
Cadaver fumes struck my nose
and in terror I turned around...

I shout and call for rejoicing
I hear the sound of angel wings
Escape us as we close the ring
And into the fire we will fall
Our desire, our flame, our call
So be it, once for all
And you are the dream and I am the lie
I am the Devil and you are my disguise
I'm all the pain you always tried to keep inside
Love in chains
We break free
There is a time
For you and me
Not today
Not tomorrow
But one day our sorrow
Shall go away
All our being is spellbound
A black magic hellhound
Let us have another round for our love
Many hours we shall wait
But it will never be to late
In life or death we'll intergrate one day
Trough rain and stormy weather
Shall always be together
Together here forever
Forever...
(Music: Ekstrand; Lyrics: Edlund)(4:34)
In the heat of the night
I went to forever walk
in the obscure eternity.
Through woods and thickets,
over mountains and through valleys.
I left my body this evening
and forever I will now live.
Curious I travelled through an unknown land,
like an angel that had recently learned to fly.
I left my fear with my body
and with the ravens I flew
on a road, of bleeding clouds, that never seemed to end.
As the road suddenly divided
I heard the ravens whisper:
"Please come, fly with us! Please come, fly with us!"
Confused and insecure I stopped for a while
and beheld the ravens disappear.
Then I heard a voice from the other road:
"This is the path to the golden land!
Come my friend, take my hand!"
But an uncontrolled voice deep in my soul
screamed out: "I'll go my own way!"
and straight ahead I flew, to continue my voyage
and my search of the land of eternity.
On the road I chose to go
I saw no other men..., 'cause it was my own imagined road
and I was alone to face its destination.
What I saw around me were things I love.
Things that I built with my heart, deep in myself.
The temples I passed were my temples
and the queen that welcomed me was my queen.
My voyage was ended, and surrounded by the most
beautiful flowers I stood beholding my kingdom
I would rule in all the future to come.
As the dawn of the morning swept through my dreamland
to adorn the leafs of the golden trees with dew
and to bring me eternal light, I thought:
"A life is only worth living for a king..."
(Lyrics: Emetic)(4:59)
Born on a gloomy night
Raised the evil way
A son of an unnamed
Born by freak
Molten books, ancient scripts
Dreadful tales of evil ways
Interpred the child
Cleanse the world
When the stars are right
They will rise from the sea
Creatures from out of time
Creatures out of mind
Sacrifice to the lord
Light fires upon the hills
Scream the words, the key
Prepare the funeral
pre.ch.:
Sacrifice yourself to the master
Sacrifice your soul to the great
Scream out the words, scream the key
The demolition prophecies are true
ch.:
Behold
The funeral
Be evil
Evilized
See that
The world is lost
It's evil
EvilizedBehold the master
Migrate to the surface
Wave goodbye to your soul
and to your mind
Mind-blasting terror
Extreme mass manipulation
will start up the mayhem
as evil returns
Rancid bodies dismembered
Rigid facial expressions
All covered in blood
Cascades of brains
Reed deep into the books
The mayhemic tales of terror
Horrifying evil visions
Behold the return
(pre.ch.)
(ch.)
(Music: Edlund; Lyrics: Edlund)
Beneath the fullmoon
Covered in gloomy clouds
Obscure funeral spirits
Evil shadows on haunted ground
Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity
Through the mist I see
A circle around the gathered souls
In the mist I do believe
In sacred power of ancient kind
Knights of Satan, dead boys choir
Ten ore more around a fire
Invoking dragons and demons this event
They are not the ones that God has sent
I heard them whisper...
"As you reach the border to the unknown land,
Or when you are visited by the great lords of darkness...
Take your time, have in mind and remember...
This is not supposed to be a comfortable land..."
Every night they rise again
To meet the lords of death again
They live on as souls in eternity
Forced by an Ancient Entity
Years of great plenty
Throughout the land of sin
With only faith at stake
And so much more to win
Now, wouldn't Lord allow us a little fun?
Until the hellhounds sleep again
Now you're soaked with water
The you wings just won't repel
But on your little crooked streak
You dry them up in Hell
Until the Sunday bells are calling you
Until the hellhounds sleep again
You enter the night in your Devil black suit
We all need a little taste of that forbidden fruit
And in the night Satan is divine
Until the hellhounds sleep again
Your path leads to nowhere and nothing is your trade
Your faith barely lasts until the church bells fade
I sincerely wish you better luck tonight
Until the hellhounds sleep again
Through the colonnades of faith with you
It's what I see, it's what I love, it's what I do
And now the columns are falling on you
You dance like liquid fire
Like crystal methedrine
You make the stars come closer
The most beautiful girl I've seen
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 make me 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
