1. ENDLESS ROAD

I’ve been running all my life
Always lost in dreams
Time goes by

Screams are growing and night is falling
Beware the darkness

All I have wanted never is
My world is empty just like me
I won’t look back at my own past
I’m living a lie

Time is never-ending
Time makes me sigh
Time
I can never find out why it flies

There’s no exit
I can’t breath
There’s no hope for me
Trust no one

Crazy thoughts and disturbed confessions
Drives me insane
The end is near

All I have wanted never is
My world is empty just like me
I won’t look back at my own past
I’m living a lie

Time is never-ending
Time makes me sigh
Time
I can never find out why it flies

Time is never-ending
Time makes me sigh
Time
I can never find out why it flies

Time is never-ending
Time makes me sigh
Time
I can never find out why it flies

Time is never-ending
Time makes me sigh
Time
I can never find out why it flies

Time is never-ending
Time makes me sigh
Time
I can never find out why it flies


2. AWFUL FALL

Seal the door of which only one lock works
What is expected of me now, who knows?
With tacks stuck in toes
Debating on what’s likable
But certainly this isn’t home
Certainly not!

It’s not so funny
Skipping breath, inhaling rope
It’s always just when I need to see
That the lights flicker and short out on me

Rootless over-thinkers in the mirror
One after the other, after one after the other
Taking turns in my behaviour
Taking their turns in my behaviour

It’s not so funny
Skipping breath, exhaling rope
It’s always just when I need to see
That the lights flicker and short out on me

I am the best at seeing things
When the captive worms in the tin are freed
But begin to lose sight one again
When the dust is finished settling
And my friends in this room are weakening
With their penchant for conditioning
And their dispositions on a swing
From the toxins and distracting means

Just when I need to see
The lights flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker

It’s not so funny, skipping breath
Inhaling and exhaling rope
Just when I need to see
The lights flicker and short out on me

It’s not so funny
It really is such an awful fall!


3. NEARLY DEAD BAT MAKE-UP

Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!

It’s time to figure out that you have been too numb
Probably blinded by a so-called morality
Oh Jesus, who are these men with their nearly dead bat make-up?
We won’t try (no) we don’t want to try to understand!

Tonight we belong to me
(You goddamn fuckers!)
Wouldn’t you like to know me?
(Goddamn fuckers!)
Love gun and love theme for kiss
(Goddamn fuckers!)
Holy frigid society!
(Goddamn fuckers!)

“For the rights you rape, for the laws you break!”
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!
“For the rights you rape, for the laws you break!”
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!

For the rights we rape?
For the laws we break?
Nevermind!

Tonight we belong to me and other stuff like that
No extermination needs, nor other hailing hand
Beware all the different meanings you can understand
When the bat is more than grey, even their mind just play dead

“For the rights you rape, for the laws you break!”
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!
“For the rights you rape, for the laws you break!”
Be obscene! Be, be aggressive!

It’s time to see what’s behind
A burning cross and a blast beat
Noddy can (noddy motherfucking can!) than the Great Gene Simmons
Who sings love better than anyone else!
It’s time to see what’s behind
A burning cross and a blast beat
Noddy can (noddy motherfucking can!) than the Great Gene Simmons
Who sings love better than anyone!

For the laws you break, just nevermind!
For the laws you break, just nevermind!
For the laws you break, just nevermind!
For the laws you break, just nevermind!

For the rights we rape?
For the laws we break?
Nevermind!

Beware all the different meanings
You can understand through that
Beware all the different meanings
You can understand through that


4. RIVER OF TUONI

Along the black death-land river
The mother runs and tries to find her son
Searching for her lost hero
She wades the river deep to her belt in mud

Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son

Fear in her heart she calls her son
As she rakes the Tuoni river and sees the black swan
Now she wades the river deeper
To death-lands shoals and shallows and finds her son

Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son

Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son
Oh! Heavy-hearted am I
Tuoni has taken my son


5. BROTHERHOOD OF FANG & CLAW

So long the sun was gone
Eternal the crown of shadows and deception
Forsaken by the light
Gemini of the wolf, fed by the witch

Hell fire’s wrath
Unleash the dogs of war
Pray for your life
Rise from the dark

Erase the primal desire
Stalk he woods in the night
Brotherhood of fang and claw
Of fang and claw

Rise from the wastelands of woe
Follow the scent of innocence
Feed from the flesh
Cry like an angel of holocaust
Phantom of my revenge
Seal the faith of the blind

Blind...

A cry heard through the night
Terrorizing ancient legacy of fear
Kneel on the ground and pray
They are coming tonight
Shades of white and grey

Undo the work of God
Fragile and vain
Legends that are still alive
Undo the work of God
Fragile and vain
Legends that are still alive
...Of fang and claw
...Of fang and claw

Rise from the wastelands of woe
Follow the scent of innocence
Feed from the flesh
Cry like an angel of holocaust
Phantom of my revenge
Seal the faith of the blind

Legends that are still alive
Phantom of my revenge
Seal the faith of the blind
Seal the faith of the blind

Blind...


6. DESERT URBANIA

So much for the wicked bonds strangling inspiration
Silent, you retreat into the Temple
Desert Urbania and drown!

Deep within the mosaic of an inward fraction
Float forth subtle emissaries from outer-materia
Emerging, but they are one, blooming on Mount Chimera
Globular insinuation, mystic mood in a nameless location

Enu edayon éikerppa
Sink and Desert Urbania
“He offered me a shapeless way so unusual
A breach in the maze to feel the unexplainable”

Mere words!
They’re not suitable swords
To elate the pagans and their hordes
(Veiled treasure, I still dream beyond this mortal frame)

We must focus on guiding pupils willing to soar
The school of thoughts, mirage haven for the sightless to explore

Enu edayon éikerppa
Sink and Desert Urbania
“Dancing on the limbs of a venerable and graceful oak”
Escorted by fading Elvish shadows”
To me He spoke

“Truth is a shattered sun blinding”
“The senses of nations proclaiming they gaze at the right fragments...”
“In this perspective, I prefer okapis to humans”

Admire the invisible
The misunderstood majesty of the imaginative ghost
Seize the momentanous splendour, disciple
Short-lived, fleetingly sublime!

Admire the invisible
The misunderstood majesty of the imaginative ghost
Acknowledge with serenity the inescapable gaping jaws
Obsession of the voracious clock!

Standing on the edges of reality
One could magnify even a sea
Believe and develop your innermost
We conjure you, be our host...

Controlled madness
Lucid mummy
Ghoulish caress
Acid coffee
Would it seem senseless?
If we scream like banshees?

Orchestrated wonders
“Lose your way” and plunder
A charred bone-wheel is spinning
Unique! Everything is yours to taste...
Wave it still (Long Live The King!)
Want to peel your skin? (There is no haste...)
Orchestrated wonders
“Lose your way” and plunder

Trancelike motion
Absorb our potion...


7. CHAPTER X: REFLECTIONS

[Chapter X: Reflections]
(Pages 365 to 375, written by Jamal in 1230 cycle 1)

[Jamal:]
“From beyond his door
For three nights...
Words...don’t know anymore...
Khym, if you could tell me...
Dreams or nightmares
What I have to hear...
What I hear from beyond your door”

----------

[Khym:]
“Sometimes I hear a voice
Telling through my passions
That I have no other choice
But my fate and its reasons”

“Reflections on obsessions
Obsessions of the reflections
It is strange this feeling
Obsessions of the reflections
Reflections on obsessions”

[Poem of the voice:]
“Poison fades as my veins drown your heart
...of a tear...of a last spark”

[Khym:]
“I see more and more sparks in the mirror
The more it shines
The more it shines, the more the tone seems mine!
The more it shines
The more it shines, the more the tone seems mine!”

“The divine tone sings a dream inside
The far emotions that I dream again and again”

“Reflections on obsessions
Obsessions of the reflections
It is strange this feeling
Obsessions of the reflections
Reflections on obsessions”

[Poem of the voice:]
“Poison fades as my veins drown your heart
...of a tear...of a last spark”

[Khym:]
“I see more and more sparks in the mirror
The more it shines
The more it shines, the more the tone seems mine!
The more it shines
The more it shines, the more the tone seems mine!”

“Nothing after night, I forgot such a pain
Nothing after night, I forgot such a pain
Could it have been real?
But if my heart is till bleeding
But if my heart is till bleeding
Even
Its beat I cannot feel
Its beat I cannot feel”

----------

[The voice:]
“My presence becomes clearer”

[Jamal:]
“From beyond his door... who are you...
What have I to...nightmares or dreams?
I am scared! Son! Please...!
Wake up, Khym! For thee, Knight!
Come beyond your door...!”


8. UNDYING

Lily was sixteen when it started to hurt
In and out of reach in a silent alert
Lily was sixteen
When the sun in her heart stopped to shine

Mirror-balls and dreams hide the tears in her eyes
Starlet of the scene and narcotic inside
Lily was sixteen
When her heart got afraid of the night

Walk undying in the rain
Walk undying over again
All your sorrow is what I will take
Undying

Monday was the day when she left with a smile
Took the urban train for her terminal ride
Monday was the day
When the city swallowed her child

Trying to believe and to never arrive
Flowers on the track mark the end of her strife
Monday was the day
When sweet Lily followed the night

Walk undying in the rain
Walk undying over again
All your sorrow is what I will take
Undying

Undying, dying
Undying, dying

Walk undying in the rain
Walk undying over again
All your sorrow is what I will take
Undying

Walk undying in the rain
Walk undying over again
All your sorrow is what I will take
Undying


9. THE WITNESS

Kyrie, kyrie eleison
Kyrie, kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison

I had a dream last night
The same old dream I’ve had every night
Since I was a child:
There’s a little girl
Lost in the middle of an immense battlefield
There is fire and rage everywhere
She has a sword and a feather in her hands

Close your eyes
Don’t leave me here alone
Do you hear the angels crying?
Helpless they’re waiting for me in the dark

Come with me
There’s no way out
I cannot escape the rage and the fire
I’m lost with a sword and a feather in my hands

I shall be
The silent witness in the dark
The time has come
I can see Death walking all around

Now tell me why I’m here with a feather in my hand
Tell me why I’m here with a sword in my hand

I’m cold inside
I am just a little girl in a game I don’t understand
Don’t leave me here alone

Now look at these men in shining uniforms
Carrying their guns like a scepter of joy and glory
They fall with fear and madness in their eyes

Deep inside your heart
Deep inside your mind
There is blood on this blade
There is blood on your face

Deep inside your heart
Deep inside your mind
There is fear in your eyes
There is blood in your hands

Deep inside your heart
Deep inside your soul
There is war outside and you don’t even know why

There is no way out
There’s nowhere to hide
Now’s the time for you to get on your knees and pray

Look at them
There’s madness in their eyes
And fear on their face
The fear for losing their lives

Randomly they shoot in the dark
Surrounded by the tears, the cries and the fire
While I’m lost with a sword and a feather in my hands

I shall be
The silent witness in the dark
On the brink of tears
I can see death walking all around

Now look at the suffering, listen to the cries
Too late for you to open their eyes!
The core of the problem in their natures lies
There’s war in their hearts, they don’t even know why!

Now tell me why I’m here with a feather in my hand
Tell me why I’m here with a sword in my hand
Oh mothers, how long will you have to cry
With your children dying in your arms?


10. ASYLUM

Living inside a world of reflections
Feeding off shadows

Cloaked as happiness
Wrapping delusions in silky webs

Stuck to our chests
Like the meaning that’ll make us a whole
A nobile goal to live and die for

Within our cocoons in cozy and warm
Sliding off reality into a rabbit hole

Waiting, hoping
Screaming for love and lust
For our flesh to turn to dust

In the midst of our fragile flames
We burn and rise
Lost in our great demise

Ignorance delights inside our little broken hearts
And we decide that we have now arrived
To a great end that just wasn’t worth the ride

Waiting, hoping
Screaming for love and lust
For our flesh to turn to dust

12. ...AND THE WORLD FROZE

Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I just imagined all these things
Do you want to be here with me?
Are you sorry you came?

All those times on the street
Why didn’t you talk to me?

Don’t be afraid
I had to escape
It was burning me up inside

Sun seams pale
The world froze
To echoes of strife

Storms embrace us
Walls are moaning
Let us avoid the edges of broken glass

Time standing still
The world froze
My story wrapped in cold, cold rain drops
Collapsing on your soul

I’m freezing
Where is the love?

Do you see those floods in my eyes?
Would you stand me up?
If I needed your strength
Would your force teach me?

Don’t get me wrong
I had to be strong

Sun seams pale
The world froze
To echoes of strife

Words are soaring
Thoughts are drifting
Let us avoid the edges of broken hearts

Blood running strong
To echoes of strife
The sun seams pale and lost in its cosmic chaos

And freezing
Where is the love?

Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I just imagined all these things
Did you want to be here with me?
Are you sorry you came?

All those times on the street
Why didn’t you walk with me?

Don’t be afraid
I had to escape


13. WHAT REMAINS

Look at how the time went by
Evoke the past and realize
This is just a fragment
Of a concealed plan that is yet to come

Is this my fate?
An absence of warmth awaits
In silence
In torment

Was it truly the past?
Deeply drowned in lust
With devotion
With desire

Have I forgotten my face?
Is this voice my own?
Vaguely vanishes
From my consciousness

Will my name remain in your heart?
Or just engraved on stones forever?

Will my name remain in your heart?
Or just engraved on stones forever?

Will my name remain in your heart?
Or just engraved on stones forever?
Forever?

Will my name remain in your heart?
Or just engraved on stones forever?


14. THE WORLD SPINS FOR YOU

The higher her screams the less you hear
When at last her words bear meaning
The higher her screams the less you hear

And so their story goes like and invisible thread
This imperfection between their fragile hearts
