1. CONFESS

Weakling! You’d better start weeping!
We cannot be fooled
You have smeared your cheeks with spittle
We won't be overruled!

Weakling! You’d better start speaking!
We cannot be fooled
Only lies come from your garrulous tongue
We won't be overruled!

Weakling! All you do is deceiving!
We cannot be fooled
When you think alone, you think evil
And we won't be overruled!

Weakling! What are you scheming?
We cannot be fooled
Tear her body open with torture hooks
We won't be overruled!

You have been causing illness and death
We have caught you in the act
Now I lay you down on the torture rack
Confess to us, confess!
To the evidence of the fact!
Confess to us, confess!
To the evidence of the fact!

Weakling! You’d better start weeping!
Weakling! You’d better start speaking!
Weakling! All you do is deceiving!
Weakling! What are you scheming?

We cannot be fooled! And we won’t be overruled!
We cannot be fooled! And we won’t be overruled!

You filthy nymphomaniac
We have caught you in the act

You have been causing illness and death
We have caught you in the act
Now I lay you down on the torture rack
Confess to us, confess!
To the evidence of the fact!
Confess to us, confess!
To the evidence of the fact!


2. WEAKNESS AND LUST

I infiltrate your dreams
I am the reason for your adultery
With my concupiscence of the flesh
I will obstruct the venereal act
I am the cause of your impotence
The reason for infertility
With a touch, a look, or an amulet
Your misery is my responsibility

I am the instigator of all hate
I bring the rain and the plague
And for all the sins you commit
I am the one to blame
And confess, I must

I am a liar by nature
The cause of shipwreck
Like the song of the sirens
Luring you to sin with my witchcraft

I am the instigator of all hate
I bring the rain and the plague
And for all the sins you commit
I am the one to blame
And confess, I must
I am driven by weakness and lust

Oh, confess, I must
I am driven by weakness and lust
You can blame it all on me
Your filthy practices and thoughts
Oh, confess, I must
I am driven by weakness and lust
You can blame it all on me
I am the cause of all your loss

I am the instigator of all hate
I bring the rain and the plague
And for all the sins you commit
I am the one to blame
And confess, I must
I am driven by weakness and lust


3. THROUGH THE CREVICE

With your lips as cold as clay
I let myself fall backward
Into your dark embrace
I surrender to you
Nobody loves me like you do
And I let myself fall backward
Into your arms of gloom

Together we will fade into the void
Together we will fade into the void

You have been waiting for me
In the end, you are all I need
So I let myself fall backward
Into the Challenger Deep
Tonight the night seems darker
The moon and stars enshrouded by clouds
I let myself fall backward
Upon the wings of a blackbird

Together we will fly into the void
Together we will fly into the void

Take me with you through the crevice
I'll be your Persephone
But you won't be needing a pomegranate
I'll stay with you regardlessly

Isn't it beautiful, isn't it beautiful?

Together we will fade into the void
Together we will fade into the void

Take me with you through the crevice
I'll be your Persephone
But I won't ever make you mourn my absence
I'll love you endlessly

Take me with you through the crevice
I'll be your Persephone
But you won't be needing a pomegranate
I'll stay with you regardlessly


4. THE SEANCE

It is like I am trying to speak to you through a spirit trumpet
My voice, nothing more than a vague whisper, too indistinct
It makes you wonder if it was just the wind

I am a ghost to you
And you don’t believe in ghosts
But here is where I am bound to dwell
Under your invisibility spell
Hoping to be noticed

It is like I am trying to reach you through a ouija board
But I cannot seem to communicate during the séance
And now you got me blowing light bulbs all together at once

I am a ghost to you
And you don’t believe in ghosts
But here is where I am bound to dwell
Under your invisibility spell
Hoping to be noticed

Ooh ooh, do you see me now? Ooh ooh, can you hear me now?
Ooh ooh, do you see me now? Ooh ooh, can you hear me now?
Boo!

I’m a ghost to you
And you don’t believe in ghosts
But here is where I am bound to dwell
Under your invisibility spell
Hoping to be noticed
I am a ghost to you
And you don’t believe in ghosts
But here is where I am bound to dwell
Under your invisibility spell
Hoping to be noticed


5. YOU'RE HAUNTING ME

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

You look so familiar to me
Like I know you from a dream
Or another life, maybe
Like a distant memory
You're haunting me

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

You really got a hold on me
Like I know you from a fantasy
Or a vision, maybe
Like I recognize your soul's entity
You're haunting me, haunting me
You're haunting me, haunting me

Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm


6. WALKING OVER MY GRAVE

(No lyrics available)


7. MY DOWN-TO-EARTH LOVER

I'm a romantic at heart
Not in a rosy kind of way
But quite a darker shade
With excruciating vulnerability
And dreadful sensibility
I'd like you to levitate with me
And be a leaf in gusty winds
Guided by inexplicable things
Gusty, just like you and I

I know you are the rational type, my down-to-earth lover
Standing with both feet on the ground while I hover

I prefer singing to speech
And know that I will always sing for you
Even if I'm out of reach
I'd like to think that I lift you up
While you make sure I don't hover too far away
And get lost in another time and place

I know you are the rational type, my down-to-earth lover
Standing with both feet on the ground while I hover
I know you are the rational type, a down-to-earth frame of mind
But the thing that makes me whole is you and I combined

Oh, I will always sing for you
Just listen and you can hear me singing for you

I know you are the rational type, my down-to-earth lover
Standing with both feet on the ground while I hover
I know you are the rational type, a down-to-earth frame of mind
But the thing that makes me whole is you and I combined


8. SELKIE

Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin
When she was bathing in the morning light, he asked her "would you be my wife?"
She said the ocean is where I belong, with me you cannot come along
She swam away and kindly waved "So long, so long"
And he said

Selkie, please come along with me
Selkie, please come along with me

Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin
Months turned into years, oh, his longing felt severe
Until the day she came to land and shed her skin lying in the sand
He stole what he believed he earned and took her by the hand
And he said

Selkie, now you belong to me
Selkie, now you belong to me

She took his hand and walked along, away from where she used to belong but left her heart there in the sea
Months turned into years, oh, her longing felt severe
Until the day she found her pelt and left without a farewell
She shifted back and swam away and disappeared into the ocean's sway
And he cried

Selkie, where are thee?
Selkie, where are thee?

Upon a cliff, he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin
Months turned into years, oh his longing felt severe
Waiting to steal back her pelt, why she left, he could not tell
He'd lost the one he never had and threw himself off the cliff and fell
And he screamed

Selkie, I'll join you in the sea
Selkie, I'll join you in the sea


9. DEADLY DIMINUENDO

There lies my body
With holes where my eyes should have been
Eaten by the alpine choughs
They've taken my soul to the skies above

Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain

It is calling me home
And so through pine trees, I roam
Blinded by the alpine choughs
They've taken my humanity to the skies above

Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain

I am listening to your still lingering echo
While you're slowly fading away
A deadly diminuendo
And then silence, silence

With your vertigo-inducing peaks
Where I can hear the echoes shriek
As if they are still falling
You're making me weak in the knees
I wonder, will they ever reach the ground beneath?

Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain
Leaving what's left to the winds of the mountain

I am listening to your still lingering echo
While you're slowly fading away
A deadly diminuendo
And then silence, silence


10. LILITH BE GONE

Oh, did I bruise your ego?
By saying we're equal
Oh, did I bruise your ego?
And now you're saying I'm evil

Sing my lullaby, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone
Sing my lullaby, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone

Oh, did I bring you shame?
By stating we're the same
Did I bring you shame?
And now you're denigrating my name

Sing my lullaby, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone
Sing my lullaby and protect your precious spawn

I am the night, I am freedom
They say I am an infamous demon
I've heard it all, a witch, a serpent
Some say I am the devil's servant

Oh, did I bruise your ego?
By saying we're equal
Oh, did I bruise your ego?
And now you're saying I'm evil

Sing my lullaby, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone, Lilith be gone
Sing my lullaby and protect your precious spawn

I am the night, I am freedom
They say I am an infamous demon
I've heard it all, a witch, a serpent
Some say I am the devil's servant

Lililili Lililili Lilililililith
A succubus, tempting you in the dark of night
Lililili Lililili Lilililililith
Lililili Lililili Lilililililith

I am the night, I am freedom
They say I am an infamous demon
I've heard it all, a witch, a serpent
Some say I am the devil's servant
Stealing infants under the moonlight
A succubus, tempting you in the dark of night
