Call me by my astral name
Breeding fear through wordless tounge Heavenly thirst - unspeakable pain Emptied from all human motion Confront the faceless wrath Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space Through twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams Sights of towers reaching for the moon Clawing at the skies - they gonna pull it down Intensity - I feel the lava rushing through my veins Stars are reforming - to enter the fourth dimension Beyond all galaxies through timeless eaons of frost Unearthly hunger - angels descent We are entering dimensions behind space ... Beyond all galaxies through timeless eaons of frost |

Slowly the winter wind tears my skin
Blood freezes in my veins I wish you were here beside me To release me from my pain Last night you promised me You were still in love with me Please come set me free From my misery I love you Truth be told I'm completely numb It got this way I don't know how I just can't figure it out Please talk to me What do you want me to be? Last night you promised me You were still in love with me Please come set me free From my misery I love you Truth be told I'm completely numb It got this way I don't know how I just can't figure it out Please talk to me What do you want me to be? Slowly twists my pride Freezing as I die Coldly I fade away My life cannot be saved Slowly the winter wind tears my skin Blood freezes in my veins I wish you were here beside me To release me from my pain Please try to remember me Lord please send help for me Trying, can't you see? Why must this be? Please talk to me What do you want me to be? |

Reach for your razor
Cut through the dawn See through your inner wrath Keys shan't open the doors Behold my heart has stopped My lungs are laid the final rest And still I see and do I feel Yes, but to earthly eyes I am gone To the land where legends never die Take me to the twilight land tonight Again and again and again in every night The darkness climbs through my walls Ever screaming silent to the corrupted ears Never to any man I will spear My speach it has no value Eyes that have seen the sights Bleed through the ages eternal I ask no more A life has just begun Never will I see the sun And do I miss it No, my eyes are black Emotions fled through eyelids closed Throne of thorns Clad in shadows |

I bid you welcome to my world
They call me existence You have just entered through the gate to your journey towards eternity This part I control In the beginning you'll fear nothing As I climb beside you Time will be your master in this laborious part of human subsistence This part I control Black clouds embraces your soul Slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish When time takes your life I wil transfer you into the bare grip of thinking tranquillity Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating Seamless across the surface into chilling stillness Nothing can help you now You'll never be along again You'll never die again You'll never be born again You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity |

Through seven songs of rejoice
His name relives his solar voice Falling into the unknown Yet he shall feel no harm Lights shine upon his face Night exists no longer In unknown colours they confront him In soundless tounge they speak is name Moonred - reaching for life through eternity Starblack - the brooding silence is frightening me One elderly custom in timeless guise In ceremonies of old one, dove now flies Fly through time |

Lights are dim
My tearful windows Through wich no emotions pass Starvation of senses claws my soul Answer me Are these walls my only shelter From the bleeding atmosphere Take me from this land "I deliver thee from this agony A storm to cleanse thee" Mine is the right to be Maelstrom of the everlost This is the curse of ... All is dark All but one aspect of life To be shaceled In a shell, so misleading "These are the shells bestowed upon me" Pass into the darkened of the midnight Sounds, faceless lights Hands tear apart Disolve possess You alone can take my soul Take flight |

A top the highest mountain Below the darkest depths In the valley of hate I wander My frost bitten heart is set ablaze, set ablaze Ravage my soul Plunder my mind Branded by thunder, fire and ice Trampled in fury by hordes of the light I am crushed by the hand of my sky My sky has forsaken me Rivers of crimson lead me now Trail of fire In a place of fire ethernal Left in flames Scattered in a world of thorns Torn from my earthly self Aggreived in tears and bitterness I fall beyond stars, beyond stars Ravage my soul Plunder my mind Branded by thunder, fire and ice Trampled in fury by hordes of the light My firey heart is stronger than ever It's stronger than ever before My heart in flames |

Wipped in the eye by the sand
Malicious have light of day obscured The sun has burned my skin Open wounds are licked by sand To be punished by this vortex of scorn Wrists and ankles are chained upon this land Drawn through the desert to be their sacrifice So this is my golgatha, so this is my grave The theives, the liars, the hypocrit scum I'd slay them if I only could The endless sand, the blackest land A cyclone of spinecrushing anger Meant for me The overlords of the desert Not one was meant to be All human force now flee Rules of anatomy lost Rage into the extreme |

My tears fall like rain
From the longlasting pain When I look at your eyes My heart just dies Beauty divine I hope you'll be mine Open your arms For all time All dressed in white Bringer of light Spend time with me All through the night Beauty divine Your tears taste like wine Come to me For all time My spine shivers with the touch of your lips... My pale skin turns red when we kiss... Piercing your nails deep into my back... As I slowly kiss your ivory neck... I started to cry after hours of joyful sin... My tears turned to roses as they embraced your skin... I gathered them to a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers... A bouquet of the most secret and ancient powers... My amber heart started to glow as I died really slow... |

Close your eyes and pray the wind will take me far away
Life is like a stone behind my back of a second degree Start Life is a feather of fall between the monument tear Like a powder fragile the one that blows behind the Faithful dead All the doors of eternal gray This weakness take beyond the dream With a silent void you're left while you can hardly breathe Vastly they destroy the tears of my lies Fears are fading away, robbed to face the bitterness In search for my dear Castle burries the bite of a queen Wherever the sorrow rises from distance like a rainbow I'll be there again, to weep behind with my tears Wake me The second lifeless to be |

"I see then nightshade grow" he spoke
And southern hounds awoke at dawn Sought for the ever-liquid of our craving Caught by the all embracing nightly sun Admass - I laugh at your feeble lies - trash Hatred in my eyes and in my blood A scream across the fields - the rivers weep A vanquished lord upon an oaken throne Grief inside my flame - grasp at my existence The seal of dawn is broken - fury Wildfire A windswept thought Out in the perimeter where laughts are No longer heard, screams no longer seen And life is always lost Gaze into the skies for they are blind Blinded by the nightshade of our lust Grinded to dust The wolves are here The beast of the savage lands They drink my blood They feast upon my remains The tears in their eyes betry Wildfire |

Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age That speak of silence and silence alone Offering the tokens, the reliced idols To the heirs of the newly raped ground Inferior even to the transparent winds Lesser in the motion and sound And we go... There is no trace of me In their altered blueprints of life Gala impaled on their horns and lances The fumes from her body give chase As the strong of blind men savour the scent, Dream-dead from Prosaic and hate Sunwind strokes the ElectroHeart, Ignition roars through the corridors, Stream launching the binary vessels Vanities in extreme formations Ride into tomorrow's rigid great face The Machinery outlives the futile scripts Of our dying jester race |

Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age That speak of silence and silence alone Offering the tokens, the reliced idols To the heirs of the newly raped ground Inferior even to the transparent winds Lesser in the motion and sound And we go... There is no trace of me In their altered blueprints of life Gala impaled on their horns and lances The fumes from her body give chase As the strong of blind men savour the scent, Dream-dead from Prosaic and hate Sunwind strokes the ElectroHeart, Ignition roars through the corridors, Stream launching the binary vessels Vanities in extreme formations Ride into tomorrow's rigid great face The Machinery outlives the futile scripts Of our dying jester race |

The handshake seals the contract,
From the contract there's no turning back. The turning point of a career, In Korea being insincere. The holiday was fun-packed, The contract, still intact! The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves - after all. The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves - after all. It's a competitive world, Everything counts in large amounts. The graph on the wall, Tells the story of it all. Picture it now, See just how The lies and deceit gained a little more power. Confidence - taken in By a suntan and a grin! The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves - after all. The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves - after all. It's a competitive world, Everything counts in large amounts. Everything counts in large amounts. The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves - after all.

Shame marries the guilt
Introduces itself to the Concept of total loneliness Sensations repressed Make friends with Suicidia and Here the leeches begin to Suck away the lust for life Thus Escape takes lead Into a world unknown uncontrolled by all Where border are erased and potential infinite Chosen cells glands and transmitters Blast the body with joy Astral feet running Up to dimension covered with gold Stairs of glowing ectoplasm Sapphire onyx and buzzing vibrations A dead man banquet Food for the gods There's only 1 real world Our earth is but a shadow Created from a child's heart a living jewel From now on abode for a soul in its setting Now Shutting the bloodline Re-tie the bleeding roots To a heavenly ship of glass And let it drift in passive arrogance In a one-word dialogue with the stars |

Shame marries the guilt,
Introduces itself to the concept of total loneliness! Sensations repressed, Make friends with suicidia! And here the leeches begin To suck away the lust for life! [Chorus:] Escape takes the lead into a world unknown, Uncontrolled by all, Where borders are erased and potential infinite. Chosen cells, glands and transmitters Blast the body with joy! Astral feet running up To dimensions covered with gold! Stairs of glowing ectoplasma, Sapphire, onyx, and buzzing vibrations! A dead men's banquet, Food for the gods! There's only one real world, Our Earth is but a shadow! Created from a child's heart, a living jewel, From now on abode for a soul in its setting! [Chorus] Cutting the bloodline, Re-tie the bleeding roots To a heavenly slip of glass! And let it drift in passive arrogance In a one-word dialogue with the stars! [Chorus] |

Breeding fear through wordless tongue Heavenly thirst - unspeakable pain Emptied from all human motion Confront the faceless wrath Beckoning silent from a sphere behind space Through twisted ruins of uncompleted dreams Sights of towers reaching for the moon Clawing at the skies - they gonna pull it down Intensity - I feel the lava rushing through my veins Stars are reforming - to enter the fourth dimension Beyond all galaxies Through timeless aeons of frost Unearthly hunger - angels descent We are entering dimensions behind space |

Reach for your razor
Cut through the dawn See through your inner wrath Keys shan´t open the doors Behold my heart has stopped My lungs are laid the final rest And still I see and do I feel Yes, but to earthly eyes I am gone To the land where legends never die Take me to the twilight land tonight to moonn6pence from shootinstar Again and again and again in every night The darkness climbs through my walls Ever screaming silent to the corrupted ears Never to any man I will spear My speach it has no value Eyes that have seen the sights Bleed through the ages eternal I ask no more A life has just begun Never will I see the sun And do I miss it No, my eyes are black Emotions fled through eyelids closed Throne of thorns Clad in shadows |

I'll take you on a ride
as a part-owner to my pain our ideals they collide coerced coexistence I fought the world today - postpone my birth again we stumble on and one - but bound to die alone pine - I'm selling my soul today pine - I need some sympathy this infiltrates my brain "in the sunshine the sun is mine" pitiless wanderer close your eyes and bow your head grotesque thoughts in a line threw my wings ?to the blazing sun smile stretched on old trees eternal Brining jester masque don't hurt a fly they all sing we're just ants in a great big play commercialize-infect-annihilate-progress visualize-inhale-pretend-betray |

in your world, the day is no threat
in my world, there is an absence of light "genetic superior cell" controlled by the fathomless and unbearable a radical new Form of plastic and rage biologically optimized but with a strangling pulse in your world, you find me worthy in my world, I "parashoot" my life a virtual drugstore populated by the fathomless and unbearable machine, meat and blood in an intimate relationship the new - superior - more effective than all the preceding when we can no longer cry and reality is torn then it's easy to forget that the responsibility lies on us all in your world, the night is no threat in my world, the darkness transforms to a vision of hell populated by fathomless and unbearable |

I demand nothing, but I want it all
what privilege do we have under the sun, that gives us the right to the throne? species come and go, but the earth stands forever fast all river runs towards the sea, but the sea is never full to discover the loneliness and be to proud to show the wounds will forever wander alone through the years but I won't let you near begging for you to understand the fear that lives in my soul which is an untouched spring read, what is written on the silent mouth what is written in the soul for which is written in the shining silence we all have to read my body will be bent from the burdens when the shaking floor of life-force reveal its chasm underneath if only one could be two steps ahead |

should I defend you for who you are?
the laws are changed and useless! on their way to a deserted town where empty windows wave goodbye a helpless excuse, a falling reality I'm changed by the shock and the weight of the punch a helpless excuse, a falling reality ragments of a futile being a puzzle to the noble ones ignorant and pitiless they stride the world around me - spartanic, minimalistic a helpless excuse, a falling reality the large scale plan that once where you've now drained from life a helpless excuse, a falling reality wo knows the proper reasons why it all begins and ends? ignorant and pitiless they stride "you are but a form", the clean, harsh silence passes "genuine" visions by the noble ones for the noble ones |

I remember it as plain as day
although it happened in the dark of the night. I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold it was starting to rain. And then I heard a piercing scream and I rushed to the scene of the crime but all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue run before the killers go free There's some people coming down the street at last there's someone heard my call I can't understand why they're pointing at me I never done nothing at all. But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone's shouting at me I can't speak French so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running away. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue am I ever gonna be free. And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law. All France is looking for me. I've gotta find my way across the border for sure down the south to Italy. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. Well I made it to the border at last But I can't erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well I'm moving through the shadows at night Away from the staring eyes Any day they'll be looking for me 'Cause I know I show the signs of... Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the arms of the law Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue am I ever gonna be free It took so long and I'm getting so tired I'm running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime Where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help It'd get me out of trouble for sure But I know that it's on my mind That my doctor said I've done it before. Murders in the Rue Morgue they're never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. |

egoism dictates human relations
a world where fashion outshines morality here success is written in blood-red colours designed by the thirst for power gather the faithful and propose a toast to the epoch of indifference an all to ordinary story with aftertaste so bitter forced to be someone I don't want to be I'm losing myself. sinking deeper down I'm caught in the world wound web a time represented by the void an excuse without content stuck in the abyss of existence with a content void of excuse an all to ordinary story this is my story with an aftertaste so bitter sinking deeper down I'm caught - I'm cage I'm gone |

a sad song it was,
through renewal it brought and a month seems sometimes shorter than a half nights longing hidden and hard are the reasons for war polar twist, invert and flea I can't dissolve this feeling of mine but patience will unlock the door and the maps of reasons re-written for me when the wait is over and the punishment is due each day I crawl to the hall of the giants and I beg for mercy - and I beg for mercy in vein one night is a mare - two is worse How can I manage three |

I parish and nobody will know
as my mouth remains still my heart awaits me. filled with gravel as the pain grows with each touch since I marked her out from my tower reality focused through forbidden lenses she owns enough of preciousness a penalty given by the source but I still have no choice through the hinderens freighten a labyrinth closing at the edge of space but they never allow she's shut... for all beings but one I give, I scorn, I threat |

the great word of blessendness
and a feeling of ease a cup of the well of freedom and life we joyfully drink inside, all was new, but outwards nothing had changed an escapade, then to the altar to evaluate all parts of the great mystery but all remains on the same spot, no signs of a new season in my hand is a new word, but the word is still without a body a hidden life-stream that swells in the deep will soon give the word a 2nd face |

truth serves them embrace
and defend her case part flattery, part threats "for those who cling to this dominion will partake in its fall" with his silence, he passes the judgement over them "with your feverish signs of force you'll make them and yourself to believe that he still retains his full power" as a platform for divine foundations, you want to make them suck shallowness and beauty was all that concerned her body but the soul, her divine guest were thrust to the bottom surrendered to the sect that has risen from its womb "for those who cling to this dominion will partake in its fall" |
