Two Ghosts

She’s walking under the midnight moon
in the courtyard the lawn is shining
it’s sparkling the grass in gloom
she’s crying and her tears are shining too.
He has been awakened by the midnight bell
in the cold room the walls came tumbling down
his mind has left his body behind
he's flying trying to reach her.
Everything has turned into ghosts
She’s leaving over the silver grass
from this leaden sky drops are falling
it’s not raining, it’s crying over her
she’s not bleeding, she’s pushing the pain away.
Everything has turned into ghosts
She has left her body down under the rainy mood
ignis fatus are dancing around her
he’s floating and kissing her tattoos
he wonders if she has noticed anything
Everything has turned into ghosts

The Little Death
03:23

I tremble
inside this Temple
made of bones, flesh, blood and skin
Two snakes are twisted
around my spine
my brain is poisoned and so is my heart
Burnt offerings
in your name
your fire is colder than this grav
Oh darling
pale white skin
Forget our shame, no need to blame, we’ll bring the flame
The only thing I can’t forget:
we passed away together through the little death
and now my feelings are buried deep inside.
Now you are gone
and autumn has come
leaves are falling dead while i’m looking for your corpse
Oh darling
pretty dead one
there’s a bunch of tombs inside my heart
I’ll die for you, if you will die with me
we will rest together in this grave named ‘memories’
If you’ll die for me, If you die first
I’ll follow you I swear it with my blood

Dying Stars Collapsing
03:51
|
|

Looking at the night sky
something is getting wrong
did you ever noticed it seems like a giant eye
it shines like a shiver, filled with sparks
nothing has been left randomly behind
Gazing at the stars
something is getting cold inside
did you ever noticed it seems like a million hearts
frozen by a thrill, chilled by love dreams
nothing has been left randomly behind
In those passion stills
we believe then we die
nothing can change it now
everything is collapsing down
In those meaningful times
we believe then we cry
nothing can change us now
everything is cracked down
‘cause we come from, yes we come from
we come from the dark
from coldness, we come from
we are just dying stars
now that heart is cold
cold as a dead star
the pitch black sky is collapsing down over us
we’re alone, there’s no god
we are like planets lost in the outer space

Torture By Ravens
02:20
|
|
||
|
Keeping this thought alive
drawing the skin with a knife
but pain is inside an anguished mind
A clock stopped on the wall
cannot pause the time
everything is near, everything is so far
Tortured by ravens, baby
‘tween you and the rest of your life
Tortured by ravens, baby
Please come back and bite my face
free your wings over me
then eat my skin once more
Please come back and bruise my arms
eat my eyes and peck at my skull
then rip my brain once more, once more.
Over this wasteland
I’m lying on blood sand
I cannot pretend
nothing has happened
Tortured by ravens, baby
‘tween you and the rest of your life
Tortured by ravens, baby
‘tween you and the rest of your time
Tortured by ravens, baby
Please come back and bite my face
free your wings over me
then eat my skin once more
please come back and bruise my arms
eat my eyes and peck at my skull
then rip my brain once more, once more.
I'll keep this thought alive...

Sleep Talker

Sleep talker I want to talk with you
when I can’t sleep at night,
standing by your side,
listening to your breath…
I’ll ask you about those times
we have lived as in a dream
without worries about the past
getting pleasure from this pain
Please surround me with your nightmares
Kill my dreams and leave ‘em lifeless
I should not wake you up
But I want to take you for a ride to talk about…
Suicide, driving fast late at night
to talk about the end of life
with you inside my car
Talking about suicide, driving where there’s no light
looking for the place where dreams go to die.
I want to learn from you how to kill
all the things that i care for most
then I’ll ask you how to destroy
the few things I built before
So I can start from the beginning
to talk with you about bad dreams
standing by your side,
getting pleasure from this pain

Berlin After War
04:34
|
|
||
|
It's crashed, our poor soul
like Berlin after war
smashed by the bombs
in the abyss it's lost
neither we can sleep at night
with nothing by our side
we can smell the electric air
before the storm
and this dark grey sky
weighs down on my chest
while we’re lying on the roof
drunken with tears
it’s not for the lies
it’s not for the sorrow
it’s not for the time we’ll waste tomorrow
it’s not for this song writ with the blood
it’s not for the ladies
it’s not for your love
it’s not for the dreams
we forgot on the way
it’s not for the happiness
we’ve never found
not for your expressions
one cent for your thoughts
singing this song with tears in your eyes
for all the lovers, for all the addicts,
for all the rejects who are living as in Berlin after war
for all the prostitutes, for all the murderers
for all the rejects who are feeling as in Berlin after war
we can’t go back at home now
it’s all smashed by bombs
we will shelter under our eyes
and under this dark grey sky
it’s not for the dead
it’s not for the pain
it’s not for the unspoken words
it’s not for the spells
it’s not for the magic
it’s not for the devil
it’s not for your love
it’s not for the friends
we’ve forgot on the way
it’s not for the love
we’ve never found
not for your questions
one cent for your thoughts
singing this song with tears in your eyes
for all the lovers, for all the addicts,
for all the rejects who are living as in Berlin after war
for all the prostitutes, for all the murderers
for all the rejects who are feeling as in Berlin after war

i came to world through a staircase
along the border of insanity
i've never felt so wrong
all the time i wasted with you
it will never be paied back
it will never be forgotten
open up your heart again and pick up my gun
open up your mouth again and open up your legs
you are the one who will lose the most
the relationship's a murder
that will never be judged
and all the girls i killed before
are nothing compared to you
life is cruel things in the making
i'm realizing i know your body
now i wanna feel your bowels
life is learning how cruel love is
you're carrying things inside that i 've never seen
i'll break your skin to take your bowels out
i'll cut along your chest and
i'll grasp your beating heart
and when your heart will be in my hands
i'll bite it
i'll taste your love
life is cruel things in the making
i'm realizing i know your body
now i wanna feel your bowels
life is learning how cruel love is
you're carrying things inside
now at last i'll see 'em

1000 Stitches (Acoustic)
02:45
|
|
||
|
it started with a wave
from an empty ocean
and everything has shifted to the black left side of things
it doesn't matter if you don't think
about the past, all the rest,
you have left us, like a shade
and everything is the same
but you are too late
you're ready for the grave
now you're lying on a bed of steel
and your nails are longer now
your pale skin is held together by a thousand stitches, oh my goat.
now your life has gone
to feed the beast on
no one is ready to Give up the sun
the blood flows away from your heart so does your past and the rest
it's your fast way to die
now Your body is cold as stone
and you're lying underground

my nites are too long, my days are too short
there's no rest for this man
cold marble only.
when i 've got up from ashes of the burning church
i was already far from faith
i was already away from home
then i closed my eyes to watch inside the other world
no redemption for this man
just the endless blackness
every breath that i held is burning me inside
transmutation of this coal
into black gold
tonite my head's exploding into the light
and i can feel nothing but this warm blackness
wake up on sunday in mourning
everything is upside down around me , everything!
but nothing lasts forever
and a rope awaits dangling from the tallest tree
now the early dawn is bleeding on my shoulders, on my back
and the sky is painted red , the morning star is rising
the long shadow of the noose is coiling my pale neck
and i'm kicking in the air, and everything gets brighter
