1. LONG BLACK WAVES

Out on the open
Over the depths
You are the wind and I am the sea
Steer steady forward
I want to believe
You sail us towards security

And the waves crave my soul
In dreams they swallow me whole

Long black waves haunt me in my sleep
Long black waves washing over me
Call my name pull towards the endless deep
Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea

The wheel and the rope
Roughen our hands
Cracks in the wood will not frighten you
Wild is thе water
High the cry of gulls
I'm so afraid of slipping through

And the wavеs crave my soul
In dreams they swallow me whole

Long black waves haunt me in my sleep
Long black waves washing over me
Call my name pull towards the endless deep
Long black waves oh what hides beneath the sea

Mathew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on
The water's so cold and the waves are high
Will you keep me safe till morning light?
When I lay me down to sleep
I see long black waves and what's beneath
The water's so cold and the waves are high
Is there any hope for a soul like mine?

Long black waves
Long, long black waves


2. I SEE YOU BETTER IN THE DARK

I have had a strange premonition
I put my ear to ground and carefully listen
It might be nothing at all
It might be everything
Might be the deadness
Of all this repetition

We've been here before

But I see you better in the dark
I don't need any light
Fear kindle not a doubtful spark
I see you better in the dark

I can feel your imagination
Running riot in these rooms, bringing the ammunition
Paranoia's real deep
There's just no sleep
It might be the evil gods
Or the lack of competition

You're likе no one else

But I see you bеtter in the dark
I don't need any light
Fear kindle not a doubtful spark
I see you better in the dark

I see you better in the dark
I don't need any light
Fear kindle not a doubtful spark
I see you better in the dark
I see you better in the dark
I don't need any light
Fear kindle not a doubtful spark
I see you better in the dark


3. MY HAIR IS ON FIRE (BUT I'LL TAKE YOUR HAND)

I could never save you
We knew that
Knew that from the start
But inward song you searched for
A ready ear
And one accepting heart

I am a goddess
I understand
My hair is on fire
But I'll take your hand
Life is so unfair
But you can be sure
I will protect you
Like no one has before

Dancing in slow motion
A memory
Falling to be free
I tried to chase your rhythm
Aching from a love
You didn't want from me

I am a goddess
I understand
My hair is on fire
But I'll take you hand
Life is so unfair
But you can be sure
I will protect you
Like no one has before

I am a goddess
A storm of pain
Blew me into a thousand pieces
Only love remains


4. LOVERS GIVE A KINGDOM TO EACH OTHER

The heart wants what the heart wants
And violently defeats you like no other
The heart wants what the heart wants
Lovers give a kingdom to each other

Are you a man sent by god
To open the gate of my solitude?

Who'll step into it's wilderness
And disturb it's natural disorder

The answer to all my needs
From the solar plexus of our souls
Electricity

The heart wants what the heart wants
And violently defeats you like no other
The hеart wants what the heart wants
The lovеrs give a kingdom to each other

I have been hiding all my life
If you open the gate of my solitude

Hunt this heart to find endangered species
And creatures avoiding the light

I do surrender through eternity
From the solar plexus of our souls
Electricity

The heart wants what the heart wants
And violently defeats you like no other
The heart wants what the heart wants
Lovers give a kingdom to each other


5. BEING WITH THE DEAD

Being with the dead
All I have to do is think of you
Right here in my head
Our life still lingers in a shade of blue
Being with the dead
The very voice of grief
Resound and resound
With an echo of relief

Being with the dead
Moving through my body, inhabiting
There's no place I'd rather be instead
Your part of my skin, my everything
Being with the dead
A very choir of grief
Sound of a thousand voices
With an echo of reliеf

I will tell my soul to sing
There is no еnd ahead
I'm alive and I am living
Being with the dead

Being with the dead
All I have to do is reach with all my might here
Right inside my head
If you drift away I'll pull you in tighter
Being with the dead
A radiant crown is grief
A torch of love
Lead towards relief

I will tell my soul to sing
There is no end ahead
I'm alive and I am living
Being with the dead

I will tell my soul to sing
There is no end ahead
I'm alive and I am living
Being with the dead


6. UNTIL FOREVER AND AGAIN

Friend of darkness you come through
In black and white
Tell me are you really real
Or nachträglichkeit?

Friend of rumination
It's the last time, the last
I spit you out with gravel
And pieces of glass

This is the end
Till forever and again
Until forever and again
Until forever and again

Something here can not get out
Something not right
I see you with my inner eye
So petrified
As you feed me with your poison
Feed me dreams, feed me hell
I send you off with all my love
And bid you farewell

This is the end
Till forever and again
Until forever and again
Until forever and again

Friend of darkness, you come through
In black and white
Tell me are you really real
Or nachträglichkeit?
Friend of rumination
It's the last time, the last
I spit you out with gravel
And pieces of glass

This is the end
Till forever and again

Until forever and again
Until forever and again


7. NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND

(Instrumental)


8. BETWEEN YOU, GOD, THE DEVIL AND THE DEAD

Your hearts haunted chambers
Are not a home for strangers
The phantoms of the past
Lead you onward far and fast
Where you go they follow
And want you to be true
Like moths fly close to the light
Oh what you'd give
For one dreamless night

And time heals nothing
It's not your fault

Between you, god, the devil and the dead
The movie that plays inside your head
The secrets
The secrets
Between you, god, the devil and the dead

Only bones and ghosts survive
Somehow you got out alive
In the absence of forgiveness
Can there be decency, can there be rest?

Oh what is faith
But a leap in the dark

Between you, god, the devil and the dead
The movie that plays inside your head
The secrets
The secrets
Between you, God, the devil and the dead

The secrets
The secrets
Between you, God, the devil and the dead
The secrets
The secrets
Between you, God, the devil and the dead
The secrets
The secrets
Between you, God, the devil and the dead
Between you, God, the devil and the dead
