Watch You Burn

We have heard the chimes of midnight
We have drunk the waters of life
We have chased away the ghosts that gather
Under the pale moon in the hour of the wolf
I reached down and pulled you out
Deep in the ocean buried
High on drowning visions
All memories faded like truth and youth
You never listen
You never learn
That’s why I’ll watch you burn
You never listen
You never learn
So you’ll forever burn
When you soar, when you roar
You fly blind, you run wild
You lie adrift on a sea; an ocean of hands
Move on; in jede richtung, now move on!
The peaks you climb, such dizzy heights
No air to breathe, there’s no relief
Who’ll lift you up or bring you down?
You have no way to choose
You never listen
You never learn
That’s why I’ll watch you burn
You never listen
You never learn
So you’ll forever burn

You Chose Hell

You Chose Hell
You want us all to stand in line
Applaud your every move
To be in awe when you strike a pose
The affected way you groove
There aren't that many by your side now
In orbit, men are found
None too close to see what you hide
Your mind, your battleground
The hardships that you feel
Inside you, they are real
The voices in your head;
It's your choice to keep them fed
The ups and downs, the waves they break
All the harder from those heights
But the wind at your back
Has kept you moving out of sight
The deals you make, they're yours to break
All your promises; unkept
The hints you throw, the flesh you show
Long gone, as you wept
The hardships that you feel
Inside you, they are real
The voices in your head;
It's your choice to keep them fed

In dreams________________________________________
In dreams, you ran away
In dreams, I couldn't make you stay
In dreams, you ran away
You're awake now
You're awake
In dreams, the snow was red
Falling down from a crimson sky
In dreams, the snow was red
But all around you
White as noise
In dreams, the weak were strong
In dreams, I was wrong
In dreams, dark was light
But you're awake now
All is right

Danse Macabre
To see you move
To see you crack
To see you crumble
To see you disappear
In the slow and dark
Midnight of midwinter
When metaphoric monsters
And naked howling wolves
Patrol your door
You move around
In ever smaller circles
Repeating the movements
Do it again
Step by step
DIE! DIE!
Kick that door! Crack that floor!
DIE! DIE!
Closer, closer
A planet pushed
Into a decaying orbit
It moves around
In ever smaller circles
Turn by turn
Closer to its fate
No one to love or hate
Mechanical machinations
Even you, even you
Tear by tear
DIE! DIE!
Kick that door! Crack that floor!
DIE! DIE!
Closer, closer
Wer war der Thor, wer der Weiser,
Wer der Bettler oder Kaiser?
Ob arm, ob reich, im Tode gleich.

By The Left Hand

By the Left Hand
Two suns in the blinding sky
The hammer will fall, we all shall die
The dawn of the dead has finally come
The human race is finally run
Fire!
Flames!
Inferno coming
By the Left Hand
Burning Flesh
Leaving the insane
By the left hand
Rivers thick with blood
Tears evaporate
By the left hand
Cut like grass, tall towers fall
All the rest – It’s left undone
By the left hand
The horror won’t be remembered
No one will tell the tale
Welcome to the tombs
Of this sorrowful life
Come embrace the darkness
Totality of night
Fire!
Flames!
Inferno coming
By the Left Hand
Burning Flesh
Leaving me insane
Riders of the Deathly Shadows
Leave us all aflame
The Left Hand Light
Miraculous!

The City

I feel heavy
I feel rooted
I’m sitting pretty down here by the water
I can feel it coming crawling through my veins
Forbidding and invisible like tears in torrents of rain
They all know it
There’s no escape here
Yet they’re closing in, swarming all around
Penetrating through my skin like sweat reversed
Reaching for my heart, to make it burst
Hammers crushing, crushing
Drums in the dead of night
Hammers crushing, crushing
A throb that shakes the earth
Hammers crushing, crushing
Down with violent force
Hammers crushing, crushing
Until they’ve won these wars
I’ve seen millions
Born to die here
If I close my eyes my mind’s lost their lives
To me, they’re all the same, save but one
Sitting by my heart, ready to burst
Hammers crushing, crushing
Drums in the dead of night
Hammers crushing, crushing
A throb that shakes the earth
Hammers crushing, crushing
Down with violent force
Hammers crushing, crushing
Until they’ve won these wars

The Killer Within
03:54

He’s sitting there, right at the back
No-one can tell how he came in
Gnawing on his knuckles now,
Biting through his own skin
Pretending this is not the way
Pretending that there is no sin
That this is not the path
Of the Killer Within
Chip and grind and chip away
Bit by bit, tear down the stone
Cracks become an avalanche
No more walls, just flesh and bone
Repetition is the key
Repetition makes him live in me
Now I know; it ain’t no sin
To the Killer Within
The Killer
The Killer
Watch him march up to the front
See him take command
Now you will feel his power
And let him guide your hand
The Sleeper Within
The Sleeper has awakened
The mask is gone, the face your own
Without is now what’s within
The horror can’t be swept away
Instinct can’t be held at bay
Acceptance is the key
Acceptance gives him life in me
Now you know; It ain’t no sin
To the killer within
The Killer
The Killer
Watch him march up to the front
See him take command
Now you will feel his power
And let him guide your hand

The Night
As I descend I see them all
Crouching behind their paper walls
Some say welcome, some turn away
Longing for that bright new day
In empty streets, illuminated
Once a man, now emasculated
He beckons those who are dead
47 want his head
Moon of blood rises
Slow and silent
The darkened clouds are swept away
The sword awakes, the city sleeps
I remember, I’ve seen them before
Stayed true, appearing false
Hiding in the sun after the fall
Sunburnt and shamed, Ronin all
Once again in darkened streets
The taste of vengeance is so sweet
Closing in on his hiding place
He will pay for their disgrace
Moon of blood rises
Slow and silent
The darkened clouds are swept away
The sword awakes, the city sleeps

Ocean Reveries

Force it out of you!
The blood-black void within
That tightens and carries your skin
A frame held up by nothingness
A frame held up by nothingness
Fill that darkness!
You hold on
To what's not
You hold on
To your lovely miserable state
It’s eating you
Your fire is not your own
You hold on
Fixed in ocean reveries
Or is there no vacancy?
Just a rancid, viscous liquid
Slow and dark and heavy
That overruns its banks and floods
That overruns its banks and floods
To kill the once fertile lands
You hold on
To what's not
You hold on
To your lovely miserable state
It’s eating you
Your fire is not your own
You hold on
Fixed in ocean reveries
You hold on …
You hold on …
It’s eating you …
You hold on …
