1. YUDAH

Back in the shadows
I pray for the end
To be reborn
Again and again
For a new legacy still I dread
Bound no more to lies
With which I fade in shame

It is I know
The sound, the bells
Reminding again the blame I've been taking
For seventy- seven I shout the name
That I serveth and praised
Till moon and sun collide

Oh Judah
All of this suffering I prayed
Is it the end I'm hearing now
Or just the crowd's revenge again

Oh Judah
Can you hear the whispers of this night
Crawling again into your mind
Judah?

It is the end
The stillness of night
That drives me inside
Gripping to fears of war
Where shall I rest
Myself from fears a while
Trading dreams for noxious mortal ore

For no rope will hold
The throat of a dearest one
Behold you fools
The serpent's kiss
Oh son of man
The night is through
Can you still count the tears you've hissed

Oh Judah
All of this suffering I prayed
Is it the end I'm hearing now
Or just the crowd's revenge again

Oh Judah
Can you hear the whispers of this night
Crawling again into your mind
Judah?


2. WEAKNESS OF ME

I feel alone
The endless litany
The seeds that burn inside me

My arms are empty
Missing answers once well known
Now long behind me

Thou shalt not see
What eyes can't deal
For words might lie
But in your eyes
In your mind's eyes
You will believe

I feel betrayed
Thumping veins filled with venom
The sting still fresh, it bleeds
Scorned by defeat
Words without simple reason
Perish within

Thou shalt not see
What eyes can't deal
For words might lie
But in your eyes
In your mind's eyes
You will believe

Time is fading away
Pestilence is what remains
The end you know is near

And it reminds me
Of the greatness of mind
The weakness of me

Thou shalt not see
What eyes can't deal
For words might lie
But in your eyes
In your mind's eyes
You will believe


3. VALLEY OF ME

Aeons have passed, burnt aways
Thorns that slashed my deepest skin
Surviving hours of hidden pains
The cross I've arved from guilt within

How all of wishes have gone astray
The tides all crushing in my dismay
I am your servant, I do believe
The time has come, again I pray

This candle lighting up
My soul a feather-weight
Against the sins of a world
I've learned to hate too late

Eyes glowing up in deepest fears
The gush of blood filling my head
A blast that fills with shards of dark
Lives still hanging from a thread

'Thou shalt not', I heard her say
Killing hope once born inside
Desire for eyes that could comfort
Left now with anguish that won't subside

Eternal dews come down in drops
They weep, from off their delicate stems
Perennial tears descend in gems
