1. Crossing The River Styx

Choir :
Requiem ...
Kyrie Elesion
Gratia tua illis succurrente
Mereantur evadere judicium
Fac eas de morte transire ad vitam
Et in memoria aeterna erit
Requiem...

(Rest ...
Lord, have mercy
By the help of Thy grace
May they be enabled to escape the judgement
Grant them to pass over from death to life
And they shall live in memory everlasting.
Rest ...)

Soprano Solo :
Tantus labor non sit cassus
Ne me perdas

(Such travail must not be in vain
Do not let me be lost)

Tenor Solo :
Cor Contritum quasi cinis
Quem patronum rogarturus ?
ne me perdas

(My heart is as though ground to ashes
To whichprotector shall I appeal?
Do not let me be lost)





2. Our Friend Lazarus Sleeps

Fortune and Hades are the last hope , swallow
Forgive the leopard king and the hangman's gallows
Shark people wear shark clothes
The bite was ugly as sin
But we were ready , disguised the malice stone
Our friend Lazarus sleeps,
Her lips shake with every , with every word


You were my favorite , we both know our love will never end
Conform me into the wicked into the
Fallen mass grave
Four-legged dancers


Silence the spider queen and watch her eyes glow
Inside the fake I seek I'll burn this halo
Shark people wear shark clothes!
The bite was ugly as sin
But we were ready , disguised the malice stone
Our friend Lazarus sleeps
Her lips shake with every with every word ...


You were my favorite , we both know our love will never end
Conform me into the wicked into the
Fallen mass grave
Four-legged dancers

You were my favorite , we both know our love will never end
Conform me into the wicked, into the ...
You were my favorite, we both know our love will never end
Conform me into the wicked, into the young.





3. Killer Likes Candy

Like sugar , the sweetest thing I ever tasted
Like a fine merlot
And white pills cut on glass and lips of dolls
I'm told there was beauty in our silence
So hold me angel , love me angel

Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever , ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison

A velvet tongue demur is cast and melted
We are not alone
A creature stirs outside these paper walls
These gods are hollow and burned
Ignite this angel , love me angel

Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever , ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison

The sweetest thing I ever tasted ...
Invite me to pray , let the music glow
Ignite my eyes and watch the poison flow

Say it with me : "We Are Ghost"
Not too loud , the Kingdom follows

Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever , ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison
Kiss the sun and burn our lips dead radio
Candy girl you will never ever , ever make me the
Perfect killer
Outside the rabbit hole is a candy shop of poison
Make me the perfect ... killer
Invite me to pray and let the music glow





4. Dark Carnival Of The Immaculate

The hunger dressed alone
Ten years have gone and past
A vision of carnival
Dark days Immaculate
Search the town of millions of smiling clowns
Red cat monster beauty has her hands in chains

Her eyes still glow like heaven
Broken, unsound , cut her wings off
The night : a vampire trademark
Dead man walking free

The dancing has created a fire
Two-headed strong man disgust, desire
Midnight (destruct)
Break bones (for hire)
Create (sickness)
A war for purity

The blood we shared
The love we cannot let go (I have you now)

Her eyes still glow like heaven
Broken , unsound , cut her wings off
The night : a vampire trademark
Dead man walking free

We won't turn to dust ...

In all its glory, and kept in secret cooks closed
with wax
the dark angels will retreat, and return to hell...

Her eyes still glow like heaven
Broken , unsound , cut her wings off
The night : a vampire trademark
Dead man walking free
Her eyes still glow like heaven
Broken , unsound , cut her wings off
The night : a vampire trademark
Dead man walking free

Midnight , destruct , let go
We won't turn to dust





5. Pretty People Never Lie, Vampires Never Really Die

Look how you've grown , it's etched in skin and bone
Dressed in make-up and bleached out in the roses
That's hollow and tasteless, where spirits make love
and pretty corpses hold their brides
Do you know I'd never hurt you ?


So taste "it" and we will never be alone
I'll take the first bite , yeah , I am Ghost
Say goodnight to you , my darling , my darling

Few words can kill me , they inspire in your hands

The sun outside , look at these glass-shaped walls
Will burn the flesh off all these paper dolls
We won't fall , we'll be together , just the two of us
That's hollow and breathless , where spirits make love
I'm lost and lonely through your eyes
Do you know I'd never hurt you ?

So taste "it" and we will never be alone
I'll take the first bite , yeah , I am Ghost
Say goodnight to you , my darling , my darling

So take this rose , so take this rose

Take this rose , and break this bottle of aged pills
We will sleep tonight and all through December
Soon she'll grow (I'll grow)
Angel , put me back together again.

Taste it ...

So taste "it" and we will never be alone
I'll take the first bite , yeah , I am Ghost
Say goodnight to you , my darling , my darling
So taste "it" and we will never be alone
I'll take the first bite , yeah , I am Ghost
Say goodnight to you , my darling , my darling ?





6. Of Masques And Martyrs

Fate outside these doors
Of masques and martyrs and the loveless
The sin was beautiful
Blank empire closed , the eyes of heaven shine a
smoke screen , a voice
The sound was kissed and sold
Best regards to the fashion corpse of grey
It thins the shallow blood in me

Only the lonely will know
How it feels to decay , it consumes me
She cries inside , tonight we won't die

Vampire kiss , so watch me burn
I raise my hands , I'm stained and shallow
Darkness , bloodless
Tempest hatred for the love that won't die

Only the lonely will know
How it feels to decay , it consumes me
She cries inside , tonight we won't die

Obsession , our gods
I'd die just to feel you
Descend , the fall
I'd die just to be with you

This is the saddest story

Only the lonely will know
How it feels to decay , it consumes me
She cries inside , tonight we won't die
Only the lonely will know (consume me)
How it feels to decay (just for you)
She cries inside , tonight we won't die





7. Lovers' Requiem

This book of love is a final gift , dramatic in its virtue
It's a beating heart I made for you
Ten razors buried bones
And a kiss that tastes like violence
Blue sand shadows look from above, yeah
We're not alone
The dead will rise again

Show me why we won't let go and we still
must pray
This is our lovers' requiem
As wings unfold , just breathe for me ...

In freaks below , a savage plot of golden dust
And chariots of liars , a course of waiting
for existence
Sin's bleeding cast has struck a nerve
Sin's bleeding hand has filled the lakes
For you and me a war has just begun
A sharpened sword , ice and cuts
And laughing dolls , tonight they live again

Show me why we won't let go and we still
must pray
This is our lovers' requiem
As wings unfold , just breathe for me ...
Oh heaven's gate will cast a shadow

Truth, forgiveness still and cold a secret little garden
she built
Sold for beauty in disguise , sweet hide away from
never , from the never never
Now ... the devil has stolen the key
It tastes like skin and bone , fire





8. We Are Always Searching

It's a cold dark night , Hallows' Eve upon the crest
In a parking lot of vampires in suits to look their best
And the music and coffins made of gold
With friends and lovers freshly buried

Her beauty washes over me
So let us hide and dance the night away.
Kiss the rise of the sun
Then we'll melt away , that's who we are
We are always searching , always searching (for you)

In a white dress , with no eyes
Black suit red devil bow tie ,
The King and Queen are crowned Victorian
"Is this the last of our haunting ?" she says as she
floats like an angel
"You will never know until you let me go , I'm hoping
this will never end"

Her beauty washes over me
So let us hide and dance the night away
Kiss the rise of the sun
Then we'll melt away , that's who we are
We are always searching , always searching (for you)

The haunting , where we fell in love ...

Her beauty washes over me
So let us hide and dance the night away
Kiss the rise of the sun
Then we'll melt away , that's who we are
We are always searching , always searching
Her beauty washes over me
So let us hide and dance the night away.
Kiss the rise of the sun
Then we'll melt away , that's who we are
We are always searching , always searching (for you)





9. The Ship Of Pills And Needed Things

Die by the sword
And the millions have taken away this reward
Stolen the laugh and a kiss
It was burned all in grey across her tender lips
Never the meek (in lust)
Forget what we've done (inside)
Protect what we built (surface)
Never ending
The ship of pills has crashed on heaven's shore
So kiss the girl , let the games begin with
broken arrows

Lakes and fire storm
Please wear my wings tonight
And shield the plague of birds
My voice screams for you
We are in love , I will never (never give up)
We are ageless , ageless

Tonight this is war
Allegiance of faith to the dead and shallow
I remember your kiss
Now it's burned all in grey across my tortured lips
Silently cast a shadow
Let these gates hear the crash and the scorn of two
lost lovers
So kiss the girl , let the games begin with
broken arrows

Lakes and fire storm
Please wear my wings tonight
And shield the plague of birds
My voice screams for you
We are in love , I will never (never give up)
We are ageless, ageless

Crashed the ships they built
Pills and needed things
Sink the bellow's core
Nomad repent silently ...
It's gifted , so gifted , inspiration lost in its meaning
and unnoticed when explained

Lakes and fire storm
Please wear my wings tonight
And shield the plague of birds
My voice screams for you
Lakes and fire storm
Please wear my wings tonight
And shield the plague of birds
My voice screams for you
We are in love , I will never (never give up)
We are ageless , ageless
We are in love , I will never (never give up)
We are ageless , ageless

Actions ... speak louder than words





10. The Denouement

Dies irae solvet saeclum in favilla.
Mors stupebit cum resurget creatura.
Requiem aeternam dona eis,
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Exaudi orationem meam.

(A day of wrath will dissolve the world into glowing ashes .
Death shall be amazed when creation rises again .
Give them eternal rest ,
And let perpetual light shine on them ;
O hear my prayers .)

Requiem aeternam ... requiem
Requiem et lux perpetua luceat eis
Dona eis requiem

(Eternal rest ... rest
And let perpetual light shine on them
Grant them rest)




11. This Is Home

Close your eyes , it's easier that way
A golden cup and a toast to kings
Lost and decayed we are cut beyond our saving
But we are home now , the room is still warm

Fell in love with an angel , a heart that isn't cold
Say goodnight , we are dieing , just hold on
I've blessed these shadows and tasted every one
They can't steal our love tonight

A century of open arms that shield the light
This battle scar is healing
Cast all the pain to the tourniquet that binds me
We are home now , the sun won't hurt you anymore

Fell in love with an angel , a heart that isn't cold
Say goodnight , we are dieing , just hold on
I've blessed these shadows and tasted every one
They can't steal our love tonight

Love has given me a reason to live
And love has given me a reason to die

Fell in love with an angel , a heart that isn't cold
Say goodnight , we are dieing , just hold on
I've blessed these shadows and tasted every one
They can't steal our love tonight
Fell in love with an angel , a heart that isn't cold
I can feel the pain of the sun as it lights up the air
I can taste the hope , it's everywhere ...

Love has given me a reason to live
And love has given me a reason to say goodbye





12. Beyond The Hourglass

Soon the stage enacts the fallen stars
Used in pictures in this page of our beating hearts
I've made peace with God and burned the sage
And drank from poison lake
Soon the stage enacts the fallen stars

Save us from all the evil that we do
Tonight we're ghosts
I've fallen down but never give up
Create what was left behind , it was you

Beyond the hourglass , and a hundred years have
passed , buried in stone
My heart still beats outside this
Please put the final nail into this coffin
Ten-century has closed
Remember me as you are reborn

Save us from all the evil that we do
Tonight we're ghosts
I've fallen down but never give up
Create what was left behind , it was you

Can you remember ?
Lie close to me , my breathing won't last long
My hands of bone will feel your touch , tonight we sit
and remember
Soon the stage enacts the fallen stars
Used in pictures in this page of our beating hearts

Save us from all the evil that we do
Tonight we're ghosts
I've fallen down but never give up
Create what was left behind , it was you

Dies irae , dies illa
Lacrymosa qua resurget ex favilla
Quantus tremor est futurus ,
Iudicantus , homo reus ergo parce

(A day of wrath , that day
Weeping shall rise again from the embers
What trembling will there be
The guilty man to be judged , spare him)





13. The Malediction

Kiss this girl of stone
My regrets are thin and corse
They are soaked outside the sea
This ship has sailed through fantasy

Create this beautiful ... memory of love
A Dance with the dead
It does exist
We still remain

Black vale and cross
Cut away this mist and fog ...
and follow your heart
Frozen past and tears from God
Kiss these nightmares ; my enemy
Dark angel clouds
Thieves and the wicked
they do not make a sound ...

We will love ...

Create this beautiful ... memory of love
A Dance with the dead
It does exist
We still remain

Still remain ...
LOST !

Kiss these nightmares
Ugly sounds
From the sea as she cries ...
Don't give up !

Create this beautiful ... memory of love
A Dance with the dead
It does exist
We still remain
Create this beautiful ... memory of love
A Dance with the dead
It does exist .
I still remain ... with you
I remain with you , It was for you ...
