One By One
04:48
|
|||
The shadows surrounding
strange how they move one by one
The curtains are drawing
twisted stand alone one by one
In silence, the wreckage
bleeding hearts succumb one by one
Vacant souls you and I
Images born to die
Fingerprints to be made
fingerprints always fade
One more truth one more lie
one more need to wonder why
Paper dolls gone insane
warm insides still remain
Shallow eyes navigate
wicked path demonstrate
The shadows are marching one by one
the wretched they're finding one by one
One more truth one more lie
one more need to wonder why

Medicine
03:07
|
|||
Need a dose of therapy
the cure is not in front of me
crippled with loyal disease
I've tried every one of these
This will help you this will hurt you
Something tells me I'm not well
locked up in this padded cell
sometimes I must be restrained
strange relations when I'm chained
This will help you this will hurt you
Let the sick wash over me
inside the gates from where I see
find release when I submit to the illness I admit
something tells me I'm not well
locked up in this padded cell
This will help you this will hurt you

Mask of Silence

Mask Of Silence
Hold out my hand mixed blessings received
I must defend myself against the odds preconceived
Shadowy figures, what's their intent
Dirt on their hands, they're not innocent
You must hold this mask of silence
You can wait now in the violence
Precious by day victim by sight
Little time left to bring injustice to the light
I must allow myself some places to go
where they cannot find me
A side I'll never show
You must hold this mask of silence
You can wait now in the violence
You must come now we've been waiting
One more lost soul for the taking

Stranger

Stranger
Forgot I could see your face
I don't look anymore
Letters from the past
touch in between the pains that last
I kept holding on
are you holding on
Can you find me
See, time's the stranger
Have you found now where there was danger
Silence and miles
Long before we closed the door
And you wait so long
that the truth is still unknown
I have a different heart
different eyes see through the part
Are you holding on
Forgot I could see your face
I don't look anymore
Letters from the past
touch in between the pains that last
I kept holding on
Are you holding on
Can you find me
See, time's the stranger
Have you found now where there was danger
Silence and miles
Long before we closed the door

Ubiquitous

|

Ubiquitous
Stripped away
Ego burns, visions stay
Integrate
Knowledge found, love and hate
Somehow it's all the same
empty screams devoid of blame
forever trying to replace
an incomplete mystery face
Trauma takes
Innocence, cradle breaks
Without a trace
Fairy tale falling grace
Somehow it's all the same
we get strong in a twisted game
Holding on to fate
missing link, hollow state

Wasteland
02:13
|
|||
Nothing comes as close as you
to the truth I'm searching for
If I never find my way
through the wasteland taste of sour dreams
I guess I've been here before
Hold me now give me a sign
I will be blindly faithful
One more chance to find a relic of survival
Through the mazes of the soul
I have seen the moments pour
Will you guide me to the truth
through the wasteland I see in my dreams
I have not been here before

Sad Eye Doll

Sad Eye Doll
Little steps
through the hall
ever find
ever fall
sleeping pill
whisper tall
weeping words
on the wall
Echo the endless, echo the essence
ever eternal, the sleep of a sad eye doll
Quiet dead
breath of night
hallowed
hollow sight
wretched need
in the light
paler shade
pallor white
broken teeth
heart alone
sleeping child
still unknown
fingers crossed
cold as stone
tiny dreams
ever sewn
Echo the endless, echo the essence
ever eternal, the sleep of a sad eye doll
Gutter holes stuffed with rabbits' feet
as blood ran through the street
blindfolds washed up on the shore
in the alleyways of limbos' door

Dirty Ritual

Dirty Ritual
We'll build a dirty ritual
An alter on fire
we'll build a dirty ritual
we'll find our own messiah
Give us our communion now
sometime we'd forgotten how
we need blood and sacrifice
felt the noose paid the price
this unholy time we pray
will not be our judgement day
We'll build a dirty ritual
An alter on fire
we'll build a dirty ritual
we'll find our own messiah
Keep us quiet, medicate
all these lives that suffocate
when we're numb and still with fear
we won't know what brought us here
we can hardly concentrate
on who we are are and what we hate
We'll build a dirty ritual
An alter on fire
we'll build a dirty ritual
we'll find our own messiah

Disintegrate
03:48
|
|||
Apocalypse, inside your hand
Matches strike, your demand
Stars gone out, mirrors break
Nothing more, give or take
I watch you set the world on fire
We watch the world disintegrate
I find you with one desire
To watch the world disintegrate
Dirty magic casts a spell
Ashes fall souls to tell
Sacred heart on it's knees
Voodoo scars no one sees
Coursing through every vein
The disease meets with restrain
Blood is spilled violent red
Broken words never said
I watch you set the world on fire
We watch the world disintegrate
I find you with one desire
To watch the world disintegrate
Turning out burning eyes
Faded convoluted skies
Dead asylums, haunted sleep
Madmen find, madmen keep
Hang on an inverted cross
Cornerstones to touch the loss
Mark my words, a record bare
Salem burns 'til no one's there
I watch you set the world on fire
We watch the world disintegrate
I find you with one desire
To watch the world disintegrate
Blinding how your tinders glow
Incinerate, 'cinerate!
Incandescent tortures grow
Incinerate, 'cineraaate!
We watch the world disintegrate
To watch the world disintegrate

Bad Dreams
03:19
|
|||
Something watching me
wake up, still can't see
Something in the air
the night leaves me bare
Wake to restless doubt
and fear creeping out
Strange light comes my way
bad dreams, here to stay
Underground light machine
twisted forms are making their way in
Won't say what they mean
cryptic and obscene
Falling through the seam
it was just a dream
Some things hide too deep
find me in my sleep
One realm, haunting night
lost in tainted sight
Devil angels sing
my mind's offering
Strange light comes my way
bad dreams, here to stay
Underground light machine
twisted forms are making their way in
Pray my soul to keep
when this grim will reap
Focused on despair
signs are everywhere
Uknown in this skin
what the darkness bring
Strange light comes my way
bad dreams, here to stay
Won't say what they mean
cryptic and obscene
Falling through the seam
it was just a dream

Dying Kind
03:06
|

Closer darling
we're the dying the kind
lucid, feel me
touch where I am blind
In the shadow that you make
In the serpent that you wake
Says the bell of every tower
You take a piece of power
Closer darling
through our deep disguise
waking underneath
the darkest skies
In the shadow that you make
In the serpent that you wake
Says the bell of every tower
You take a piece of power
Closer, find me
through, we seek and hide
quiet soldiers
to the other side
In the shadow that you make
In the serpent that you wake
Says the bell of every tower

The Big Reveal

The Big Reveal
The silence is a game
one last right final claim
stake into the heart of blame
potent light upon the shame
In the light of the remains
the killing wars, the ways we came
In the light of lost, insane
the killing was all a game
Gutted dreams, violet stain
focus lost on the pain
disconnected from the brain
scapel nurse, we break the chain
In the light of the remains
the killing wars, the ways we came
In the light of lost, insane
the killing was all a game
Shut down functions, poison seal
siamese watchers kneel
waiting for something real
torn apart, the big reveal
In the light of the remains
the killing wars, the ways we came
In the light of lost, insane
the killing was all a game
Imprint steps, walk away
static traces, remnants stay
box of blood and worms to keep
sorrow ghosts from which they seep
In the light of the remains
the killing wars, the ways we came
In the light of lost, insane
the killing was all a game
