Lyrics


1. FREQUENCY

My apocalyptical dream of a
Man behind a mask
A vision - Delusion, a hallucination.
A something that led me astray
I have stared in a place
in a "never-been time"
I saw his feather is spinous
Injecting a virus
His mission will come to an end

When we dance with the dead
Sweet and feral liaison
Facing pestilence scenes
In my mirror of dreams

On the day when the sun disappears
Then I see the lights
In a city of angels

Dehumanized toys dropping dead
With a strange manufacturing vice
They still live in fear of the old puppeteer
He's the beast in a white panoply

With my stereoscope
I saw pictures of death
Watching war of the worlds
On the screen in my head

On the day when the sun disappears
Then I see the lights
In a city of angels
And we're watching a downfalling star
It reflects in a river of tears
On the day when the sun disappears

On the day when the sun disappears
Then I see the lights
In a city of angels
And we're watching this downfalling star
It reflects in a river of tears
On the day when the sun disappears


2. HOLES IN THE SKY

I'm searching for Christian number one
My new creation tunes the vertex of the sun
And inside my planetary gear
The machines decoding heavens
I'm coming closer, coming near

And I'm searching all day and I'm searching all night
For the sonic of truth and a hole in the sky

I stay between the hours
And fill them with sand
My destiny's time dust
Is stolen soil from Promised Land
After lunation number nine
I will start this elevator
With the time key for re-find

And this clockwork is made - Cutting holes in the sky
I will drink from a source called the liquid of time

And this clockwork is made - Cutting holes in the sky
I will drink from a source called the accident time
Now I'm searching all day and I'm searching all night
For the sonic of truth and the hole in the sky

Time is a mystification
Searching the hole in the sky


3. SCAR OF AN ANGEL

I saw the ashes of the world
Visions from the night hall
Will extinguish in my empty room
And then I speak a shallow prayer
We are going nowhere
Heal me - Save me

Fast comes a breeze rushing over Rome
And clouds run away from a thunderstorm
Flickering lights hiding things in elysian skies
The dust of the stars in the universe
Reflecting implosions from other worlds
Outside this phenomenon she comes
Deceiving my eyes
Then I hear the voice of an angel

Heal the world - Save me now
"Red eye" to Avantine
Heal the world - One more chance
For saving the Ambrylight

Then I feel the frequencies of a ghost
And dark mighty knights chasing angel hosts
Shes like a seraphic being, affecting me deep inside

My head is a sepulcher of broken sense
Then suddenly I perceive pestilence sway
A thing with a raven coat under the mask of decay
Inviting her to a Black Waltz death
And I feel the scars of an angel

Heal the world - Save me now
Just for a few hundred years
Heal the world - just this time
For saving my Ambrylight

Mia my Mia - Don't be afraid - Mia my Mia -
Pray while I prey
I sail upon the water - I lead you back again
Charon is floating over and leads you back again
Heal me - Save me - Heal me - Save me
I sail upon the water

Heal the world - Save me now
You're the awaited sign
Heal the world - One last chance
For saving you - Ambrylight


4. SOUND OF BLOOD

Burning skies over Thyrrenian Sea
Death rains obsidian ashes
Dyeing the quarters of Rome
In a sanguine light
Incense playing with pestitentia

In the ancient gear of time
Hides a holy parasite
Conjuring seraphic wheelworks

Paint a reflection in my iris
And let me hear the sound of blood

Who are you sweet miracidium
Get off possessed premonition
Excise the thing
Like a nail out of my wound
Unsaintly inoculation

I'm a jigsaw fallen down
Missing parts were never found
We're drowning in holy water

There's a reflection in my iris
Christus - Sanctus - Me vocat
That helps me to hear the sound of blood
Scriptum - Divinum - Illuminat
Tears are the noeses of water
A God's distillation of the flood

Now I can see the sun arising
And I can feel the sound of blood
Tears are the noeses of water
God's distillation of the flood


5. THE FINAL MURDER

Hello my son
I am your healer
Are you the one
Who signed an agreement
You want to find here all the thrown away pages
Before the sandglass has fallen down
You're the passenger in time
I'm going to bring you over
We'll take the "Necropolitan"
Under Santa Croce de Gerusalem

We lost the day
We lost the night
God's closed the door with all the secrets behind
Sealed the rebirth of heaven in hell
Since then I've waited for someone

When Samiel muted the voice of god on earth
He stole with an "Ungiven Kiss" the infinity of days

Tell me what is on the way
A forgotten saviour

He turned the pages
He drank the Divine
While he translates the so-called narrative lies

A legend speaks of one who will find
The spire of lost revelations

And Samiel knows after one last psalm is found
The first newborn child will ordain
Our downfall in the world

Tell me what is on the way
To the final murder

And the watchman at the door
Shields the fuel for the ghosts
They all live inside their pages
For "Neverlasting" ages

Hear now saviour - Demons will find their way
Hear now saviour - They sing just for you
And I know in a few thousand sins
This, your kingdom falls
We're awaiting the end of the world
Waiting for it - Waiting for it
And waiting for you waiting for you
Tell me what is on the way
To the final murder
Tell me what is on the way
A forgotten saviour
Tell me what is on the way
A forgotten saviour


6. QUICKSILVER

We're searching for the meaning of it all
And finding trails on sand drifts formed of bones
A broken footstep filled with twilight
Can you find a way
Under Pathway finders lamplight
Talk to me - And say that we are leaving
Find a way - To the eternal town of ghosts

Fireflies shine so faint and fragile
Neonizing a town with their darklight
A lovecrafted vision
Of Shadowking's paradise
A city of wasted souls
Among the palace of the flies
Stay with me tonight holy parasite
Climb into the time - Searching heaven
I hear the revelation cry
Searching Jesus - Finding neverland

Sinking in your arms quicksilver moon
Hold me evermore
"The Seraphic Clockwork" tells the truth
In the psalms of Judas
On my way - I'm here to find you
On my way - And this feels like coming home

Fireflies shine so faint and fragile
Neonizing a town with their nonlight
These sacred poetics
Are darkminded auguries
Let the circle of tanakh
Revolve the old quixotic gear

I'm afraid to live not afraid to die
Now it's in my hands - saving heaven
I hear the premonition cry
"Finding Jesus" in a paper world

This serpent delta hides an island
Where ghosts have built a paperdome
Out of original predictions
Over the years they turned to stone
And soldiers gamble for a garment
They want to crucify His son
Inside of a manual "The Judas Revelation"
I read a prophecy that my yesterday will come
Stay with me tonight holy parasite
Wasted things to find here in aion
I hear the revelation cry
Searching Jesus - Finding neverland


7. RUSH OF SILENCE

In a wasp tower station
Errant souls lose their way
"Labyrinthian Absorptions"
They must stay here forever
In their own prophecies
Of a cutthroat assassin
Tempting nocturnes on the walls
Turbid idols we adore
All distempers draw one scene
With a cross upon the hill
What a beautiful nightmare

Then I hear the rush of silence
And I know that I must Save the world tonight
I fall into the rush of silence
Where are you
Let me save you now
Before you have to die

With my old cosmic wind mill
A fourdimensional tube
I've erased all the timesteps
I can't live without loving
In my new yesterdays
I will die here forever

No. I know I must be strong
I have waited much too long
Anyone can save the world
Anyone can - Anyone can
Here's for the first time
My last time
Fall into the rush of silence
And I know I have to
Save the world tonight
Fall into the rush of silence
Where are you
Let me save you now
Before you have to die

I fall into the rush of silence
And I know that I will
Save the world tonight
Fall into the rush of silence
Where are you
Let me kill you now
Before you have to die


8. ON MY WAY TO JERUSALEM

I am just a detail falling right out of the sky
I am a piece of nothing and my soul can never die
That's the reason why I came back today
To effect the ancient prophecy
My time levitation was the key
One step into nowhere to see
And finding sketches of Gethsemane here in sundownfactory

No way - No way - No way out

Born in a time
Where my God means just creation
And where death alternates
With the sovereign of hell
Let me change things today

Hey you
Are you waiting for the end
The Sanhedrin says
You will die here today
But why me
Why's not anybody else
Finding the way out of time to Jerusalem

My life is a flame
And her pale light shines on sadness of my grey solitude
That made a something out of me - just a thing out of me

Hey you Tell me this is just a dream
Why can't you say we are leaving today
And why me
Why not anybody else
I'm so afraid on my way to Jerusalem

Turn the navigation gear
Just for another thousand years
And then my spheroid will fall down in another world

Am I losing my mind - Losing my mind
I have waited for somebody - Somebody wrong

The "Seraphic Clockwork" says:
"And he will find the Babylonian apiary
Of petrified books in the serpent delta of a "Styx"

He came - The pristine sin to turn
Betrayed him for Quicksilver
And then he kissed him - Just a kiss - A Judas kiss
And then he kissed him - Just a kiss - A Judas kiss
Just a question
And then he kissed him
Time's an equinoxium
And I'm the devil's key
To save a paradoxon
With infernal perfidy

Hey you
Tell me this is just a dream
Why can't you say we are leaving today
And why me
Why not anybody else
Please say I'm late on my way to Jerusalem

And theres no place left to hide
For me - The holy parasite
Because my unfulfilled sacrament has changed time
And must change time

All kinds of details falling right out of the sky
"Not Unimmortal" if your father let you die
God's time levitation found a way
To make you a saviour today
I'm just a lie - I'm not a friend
Just a sick corrosive saint

Now you walk your way all alone
To carry the sins of the world
I came to dethrone and to betray you
So they crucify you for another life - A better day
To free the world
God's time levitator - Found a way
To heal all kinds of things
To make you a saviour today
And take all souls on board
Me - The parallel Judas will burn
You die to save us all
I'm starting the engines Because I
Never will return never will return
Never will return never will return
