IN UTERO
01. 2006

And here I go again
The world spreads it legs to release another unnecessary part of the machine
Nobody rejects, all of it in vain
For they couldn't know what they shouldn't sustain
But I do know for I have foreseen
For I am all what you've thought I've been

(chorus)
And everything was made for you and me
I'll suck your sangria to quench your thirst
I burned my mind to beat the time but it get worse
And in the silence of the night I drown your breath
tête de cerise, maybe you created me

I destroyed all I've written through all the years of pain
To avoid what could have happened if I'd have used it once again
I swallowed all the pills I've found and now I'm clean
Injected dirty heroine into myself just to tidy up myself
It almost worked, I'm rarely the one I used to be before
Just ask the bodies of those shallow whores covering my floor

(bridge)
The former me withered away
Dead flowers mark the spots I take
I am so dumb what should I say?
If this is just a dream don't you dare get me awake

(chorus)

And here I go again
I smashed all the mirrors in my flat
For I didn't bear the singing girl I saw, making me upset
I cut apart the fingers that I need to write new songs
With the auburn pieces on my skin, tearing them all along
I wish you to astonish me and my delusions of grandeur
And to realize my dreams, giving me what I deserve
Oh naked queen, Venus in Furs

(chorus)

Maybe it is you
Who pushs my face into the fire
Maybe you do get me through
All the hidden bold desires
You approach my bleak reflection
Only you know my defection
And I whisper in the dark
I only wanted to be loved

 

02. The Crow

Dusk.
Spreading out the sable wings
Seeking, hunting stable prey
Above the trees, below decay
The time has come for better things

It smells your sorrow and your grief
It only wants you to believe
That nothing now is what it seems
The world you know has changed
All haze has ceased

Amidst a cemetery
Alights on an ancient grave
That is your own, my dear
There is no reason to escape
Nor to disappear, you're safe
Once it found me
It'll soon get me

Midnight.
It set us free, made us unite
After a thousand years, my love
You're still the devil's bride
Licking your chocolate skin, your sugar tears
Can't get enough of what is thine
My sweet divine, you own my life
I am yours and you are mine
Until the very end of time

Into the void it flies away
Leaves us behind now, all alone
I listen to the words you say
Your beating heart will lead us home

 

03. Home

Far away close to the end of everything
There is a place where I can stay, where I feel free, me and no sins

I don't wanna sleep anymore, there is no need to cure my sore
All I needed to is over there, a dozen years ago, even before

Hear it call, have to go back before it all fades away
Though it seems different now I shouldn't wait, I can't delay

It's quite silent in here, inside it all again
That pure, almost in vain, no fear in sight and again

Until you came along and showed me how it feels, like to seal what is done
This is the only place I always thought that I belong

Something is gone, you are still here
You are the one, you taste my tears
Of what is still to come
Not alone

 

04. Adore

I listened to that tainted voice before
Today's the day my blood is washed ashore
With all the agony that made me sore
In this life of a psycho little whore
And now I'm free, alleviated, born again
Pretty like drugs, immortal to time's end
Today's the day I want you all the more
You are the only drug that I adore

OBSESSIVE NAIVETY
05. Dreamweaver

Between the shadows of the night and glowing lights
Distorted sullen rainbows totter from side to side
Above vast and translucent oceans flies
With feeble wings of golden shine a divine might

Through dense and darken forests roams alone all night long
The reason why you're listening to the lyrics of this song
A loving queen - a queen of splendid light and youth
In midnight rain you can't differ between lies and truth

All the world is all I am
I have your photographs in my head
I was here but I can't be sure
The sun is shining on your face
I wish I could freeze that frame
I went here more often than I can endure
It is our world, holy eternity
It is our fate, apart reality

I fall asleep with you, it shall not end, everything as foreseen
Your invisible lips, your fantasize kiss makes me writing this verse
And I try again, so hard, all of it for you, the loving queen
I believe I can see the walls of the universe

 

06. Inside Your Hives

Devour the flames rise up from your skin
Reveal desires I never have seen
Your glowing eyes filled up with sins
Ready to lay everything in ruins

Touch your chest
And sense your breath
Stroke your hair
And everywhere
Drink what is inside your hives
You call this larger than life
Dive into the darkest cave
I'm your master, you're my slave
Vice versa, and back again
This nasty night should never end
Adore you as my purest friend
Fuck you like a gentleman

And if you'd be burning by stealth
I'd love you more than you love yourself

 

07. Heroine

I've seen all that before
A thousand times
I've listened to your charming voice
All of my life

You belong to me
You set me free
Redeem

You are the truth
You let me lose
In sooth

You are my cyanide
My sweetest friend
You're by my side
Until the end

Delete the obselete

Nothing now is what it seems
God is just a broken dream
Rather my humility
You mean everything to me
My heroine.

 

08. Royal Decline

One, two, three - she can't move just stand still
She is a speed bump mannequin
Queen of the light and winter love
One, two, three - he can't move, just stand still
He is a dream somnambular
King of the dark, above the stars

(ch 1)
If I can't have her nobody will
If she can't have me nobody will
If I can't have her nobody will
But I will posses her, I'll seize and disease her

(ch2)
We are something that you'll never be
We are something that you'll never be
We are something that you'll never be
We are something that you'll never be

One, two, three - she won't move, just stand still
She is a lithium addict
Queen of the light, a whore sublime
One, two, three - he won't move, just stand still
He lives an enchanting nightmare
King of the dark, high-strung despair

(ch1)
(ch2)

We are the pure unique divine
We are the cure, we walk the line
We are the very heart that beats
The golden snow we snort succeeds

VICIOUS CIRCLE
09. The Servant

Frightened to my shattered core
It's close, it's near, I hear it cry
I can't bear it anymore
It's cross, it's here, I'm sacrificed

Bruised and crushed my inner shape
Bullied me to mental death
Now I do it for myself
Absorb the rest of what is left

(chorus)
It's gonna rip myself to pieces
(I will obey)
It's gonna bless my soul with fear
(I will obey)
It's gonan flood me with diseases
(I will obey)
It's gonna seize my heart and tears
(and tears and tears)

It taught me how to hate all love
I served the demon willingly
I really thought I'd stand above
I realized it was killing me

Devoured and plagued all along
Left behind what made me free
I got stuck amongst
Atrocity and animosity

(chorus)

It took away all what was mine
Numb tissue's left up in my brain
And even if there is no pain
To think of you is anodyne

Kill my master
Kill my brain
You is what remains

 

10. When Faith Fades

Sun injures my skin
Blows my veins apart
Sun kisses my faded sins
Fading in a lake of blood
Tonight I'm infinite

Flames distort my lips
All I've said that I've commit
Rotten in a lake of lies
That burns the hell of it
Tonight I'm infinite

Lightning kills my eyes
Turns me blind before I die
Captured in a lake of light
Where I've died a thousand times
Tonight I'm infinite

Faith consumes my mind
Nothing more to hide
Drowning in a lake divine
Humility is left behind
Larger than infinity

 

11. Doomed

tease me
tainted heart
underneath
I decease
I fall apart
what have I done?

release me
deepest hole
frail in pain
sell my soul
I am insane
what more to come?

freeze me
in gloom
I don't repent
I seize upon
I make it through
until the end
I'm doomed

 

12. Love Anachronism

The golden age is still to come
Is what we've thought
We lived already in a perfect world for some
We quivered in a gracious past
We wanted more than we could seize
To die young and to live fast
To die again and again and to exceed

We didn't walk on water
(Though there was no need we shivered)
We already were the rain that filled the rivers
We didn't float above the trees
We already were the air we needed to breath
(But for no apparent reason we didn't succeed
this time)

The more we tried we fell apart
A shredded rainbow grazed our blazing hearts
We thought we wouldn't need the sun no more
For we were the sunbeams, sparkling off ashore
The future slipped away, a million miles away
We tried to hold on to for what we're dying for
But instead we somehow introduced our very own decay

Somewhere lost between now and then begging for the cure
But all we've got was a sordid, little whore
God succumbed to what we've done to it
(Once we used to be its substitute)
And now this whore replaces our world of shit
Betrayed by ourselves time aims
And shoots

The golden age is over now
We lived fast and a plagiarism
Truth doesn't seem to count somehow
But our love anachronism

FINAL REDEMPTION+THE CURE
13. I Have Lived So Many Lives All In My Head

I'm dying once again just to feel free
Places in my mind I never saw, never been to
I drown myself in oceans, in the deepest sea
Keep dreaming of serenity just to feel free

There are no stars up in the sky
I went so high, I searched in vain
Captive in obscurity
But the Northern Lights remain

Alone, impure, no end in sight
I shed blood and I shed tears
I lied, I sighed at day, at night
Redeem me from these shallow fears

Precious sunshine, kiss me for cure
My fragile mind is one big sore
Precious sunshine, I'm yours for sure
I promise, I will die no more

 

14. Close My Eyes

Imagine things to be as charming, precious desirability
Living in a world of grace available just for yourself
All that you believed in may come true or even more
What if someday, sometime you get to know for sure
That behind a mental door you step in looking for cure
You find out about if there is more, I can assure

Dream away the dark and light
Sun and moon, shining bright all day and night
Lose yourself, float away suspense ashore
Push all this aside and crawl above
Listen to the voice that sais
The keys you need are made of purest love

Eternity
Lying at the sea
Starring at the sky
Wishing you hear to me
I close my eyes
Will you set me free?
Detain waisting my life
I'll find paradise_

And if the bullet that was supposed to hit my head
Succeeds and kills my brain I'm still alive
As there is more than life and more than death
You will remain through all we've done and all we've said
You'll never disappear out of my head
I am stained, you're immaculate.

 

15. Physical

Moonlit like the love descents
Like blissful fires in your eyes
And silvery shadows slowly rise
Beyond your soul the innocent

When you're sick you still cure me
Even when you lie you say the truth
In the darkness you lighten me
And all of that I'll do for you

You suffuse my skin with sex
I agitate your splendid lips
A unique certain depth along your legs
You're trembling while I seize your hips
Devoted naughty currents have their say
Grazing, ardent cheeks exceeding lust
A translucent night turns into day
Voluptous dawn to sublime dusk

Merely you and me
Infinitely delicate
Lascivious serenity
Scarlet naked fate

Enchanting bosom utterly absorbed
And nothing more to hide
Under the lava drink my sword
Supreme joy from inside, astride

 

16. Cerise

In these dreams the other day
You were not even far away
They don't last long to my regret
Though you're always in my head
In these dreams serpise you sip
May I taste your crimson lips?

This is still the beginning
The shape of more to come
It's a form of distilling
A floral fragrance
Sweet ecstasy for some
Turning you dumb

More than love and more than time
More than we ever could express in rhymes
More than truth and more than trust
Thinking of you is empathetic lust

You delete the sins
Of my entire life
Drowning them for good
Becoming the wormwood
To my absinthe
Keeping me alive

Sweetest flavour
Now to emerge
Be my saviour
Finish my search
My beating heart
Complete myself
Set God apart
Contaminated
Desecrated
Now all I wish
Out of my dreams
Erasing fear
My holy wish
Final sunbeam
You to appear

my cerise
my star-anise
