1. LETHAL PURSUIT

How did this lethal pursuit all begin?
How long before Babel collapses again?
Our Father speaks to us but we won't understand
In our garden of dust we plant the seeds of rage

More and more we need, we cultivate our greed
Earth mother can no longer quench
We make our brothers bleed and make our sisters bend
This race has to come to an end

Father had warned, "Don't reach for the sky"
The forbidden fruit cannot take you high

Then the snake retired, satisfied
After his victim took that fatal bite

Submission
You shall bend your knees, downward rise
Redemption
Sacrifice your greed, while it's time

A gathering of clouds, this will be the sign
Father will blind the sky so we can't see His face
No hopeful wind of change will ever dry His eyes
Who are the chosen few He will let climb the stairs?

I'm not better than you
I won't always want you
I will not envy you
I won't get angry with you
I won't covet what's yours
And I won't eat too much
But I will have both pleasure and pain

Submission
You shall bend your knees, downward rise
Redemption
Sacrifice your greed, make it mine

God took a face from the ancient gallery
And on the eighth day, He started it all anew
When the circle is complete
From all the cakes
One single bite is all you shall take


2. SPEAK THE WORDS

I need the hurting words
Please let me hear them now
Quench my need for pain
I want to feel it now

Silence he spoke again, oh
Or is it I don't want to hear?
I read the words in his trembling hand
How can my love feed so much fear?

Why don't you crucify me
So I can be reborn
I cannot bear the cross anymore

So many tears I cry behind my eyes
A silent, blinding form of lie
The hands that once took are now eager to release
One injunction I disappear

Let me hear what you want, but do you know ?
I'm beggin' you to speak the words, I can't let go

How can I stop breathing you?
How can I stop sleeping you?
When will I stop bleeding you?
I just can't stop needing you, no

If you're looking for means to breed my hate
Rumor-spreading, broken promises are vain
The sanity assassin crawls inside my brain
His name is love, yeah

Hate I do not need
Nothingness I seed
Mercy is my plea
Why don't you speak the words?


3. EVIL GAME

And when her heart strays away
She blinks at the light of day
When the truth is too hard to face
She's ready to fall from grace
Where is the girl that I used to know?
I can't feel the love anymore

You know, and I know
Nothing can tear us apart
Just one more try
Life is no game and I won't load the dice

No, I won't resign this time
So she pleads guilty to her crime
She indulges in lies that her tears confess
Her feelings she can't repress
Meaningless words just to ease the pain
I swear I won't hurt you again

You know, and I know
Nothing can tear us apart
Just one more try
Life is no game and I won't load the dice

Girl your sweet lullabies won't allay my suspicion
You try to hypnotize me but you can't blur my vision
He can give no answer to unspoken words
She knows he can't blame her for secrets unheard
I don't want your body, I just want your soul
I've sold mine to the devil and I need yours to fill the hole

When the night takes me in her arms
My spirit flies to the place where dream and day unite
An empty room with burning candles
Moving shadows on white sheets
She feels the bite of the candlelight on her naked skin
I wanna share your heat
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me
I taste your lips in an endless kiss
A delicious mix of desire and fear

You know, and I know
Our world is falling apart
No more last try
See you in hell girl you're no longer mine


4. ONE MORE TIME

Why did we die last night?
Why did I follow you down in the deep dark sea?

One more time
I wanna lay down and die
Love colored me blind
I can't tell black from white

Baleful moonlight
Lost souls in the water
Trapped in the ice
Her words were forever
"I'd take my own life before losing you"

Why did it seem so real?
Why is this fateful dream painting my days so blue?

Sea, the story said, is bound to be the sailor's deathbed
Will it ever be the only time she will share his bed?
Hear, sirens are calling you now
(They) want to take you away from me
Don't let them lead you astray
Voices they lie, believe in me

One more time
I wanna lay down and die
Love colored me blind
I can't tell black from white

One last time
Let us lie down tonight
I'm gonna love you till I die
Until my final sigh


5. ON A FALL'S NIGHT

Ooh let me dive in your eyes
Ooh let me dive in your eyes

Now I know, I can see it all so clear
Please don't go, 'cause baby I need you near

Lights on, bright, I'm hidden down in the shade
I hear your voice raise
Emotion, I can feel my body heat
Turned on by your beat

You give me thrills
I wish time would come to a standstill
You give a smile
How I wish you'd never say goodbye

Devotion, I'm standing out in the rain
Calling out your name
Ignition, take me to the promised land
Reaching out for hands

On a fall's night I fell as surely as a leaf off a tree
I didn't realize at once
I guess I was too blind to see
I woke up the next day
You had snatched my soul away
I had your sound still in my ears
Although your face had disappeared

You give me thrills
I wish time would come to a standstill
You give a smile
How I wish you'd never say goodbye

Alone you dance in the middle of nothingness
If I could...
A solitary waltz, let's spin together
We'll go round and round and round...

Ooh let me dive in your eyes
Ooh let me dive in your eyes

I have never learned to swim in shallow waters
Every time I plunge into your gaze I drown


6. COLD SUN

I stare into the night
Can't see no light, forever gone
Why was I so blind?
Maybe the sun was much too strong

Now I'm on my own, my heart of stone comes back to life
Death opens my eyes to past mistakes
Too late to learn

So many nights I waste in cries
My tortured soul can't find no rest
On a bed of nails my body lies
Let me begin my quest

I'll wait, no matter how long it takes
Embrace, you know there's no time to waste

Alone you rise, fading away in the night
I heard the call so many miles away from you
I'd go back in time for one last goodbye

I remember when we used to dance
The games we used to play out in the snow
I know I won't get another chance to let my feelings show, oh no
Oh no

When the music died, I realized the words were wrong
Though I try to rephrase, the song remains the same
I wonder how long

So many nights I waste in cries
My tortured soul can't find no rest
On a bed of nails my body lies
Let me begin my quest

I'll wait, no matter how long it takes
Embrace, you know there's no time to waste


7. THE WAIT

Bad dreams keep telling me it's all in vain
They say I'm just training my love for pain
You would never give me the key to your heart
And this wait would only tear my soul apart

Night dawns, I rise
Still my wandering spirit stays down
Bathed in my own lies
Never said forever bound

Even if my will dries out
The rain will bring it back to life
One embrace, erase my doubts
Only your touch can clear my sky
Share the emptiness
The wind of dreams that create reality I caress

Try and see the light
Stop fighting love, don't close your eyes
I'll wait another day
I trust that time will find a way

Come, surf with the alien on top of a wave
Dive and in our hearts the sea of love will rave

Swim in the sea bed, in the morning reach the shore
Hide under the sails till your body asks for more

Times change, love remains
How could the wind blow out the flame?
No way to escape
Don't leave me lost inside the maze

Try and see the light
Stop fighting love, don't close your eyes
I'll wait another day
I trust that time will find a way

Shh, no more words


8. GIFT?

Gift, it comes unwrapped
Take, no turning back
Call, follow the track
Fear my soul is black

Lovely child, open eyes, new to life, bound to die
Welcome pain, with a smile, mamma said don't cry

Why would I hang on to life, it will find me, I cannot hide
Sister Death, walking with me, talking to me, playing with me
I can't win, I give in

Peter walking in the woods alone
Will he only live to see the dawn?

Remember Riding Hood
Fooling around did her no good
Join the wolf into bed
Pleasure in pain?, she never said

Dead men walking in this life alone
Fear instilled in us since we were born

Blame childhood fairy tales
Giant forum: lies for sale
Leave the meaning alone
Mamma let me make up my own

Nikki wakes up every morning
Don't know she's dyin'
Lives by the very words she spreads
Dead thinking
Motionless speech is her fave type
Stereotype
Her set phrases betray her agony, she can no longer think her own...

What is the matter with me?
Am I so bent on destruction?
No, don't misunderstand me
I only urge resurrection

Existence is built on illusion
Is there a pattern for deconstruction?

Lonely child, close your eyes, leave this life, far behind
Welcome death, with a smile, mamma told you lies

Why would I hang on to life, it has fooled me, it has used me
Sister Death won't betray me, won't abuse me, won't cheat on me
No more games, naught to gain

I left the land of broken dreams, I am drifting
My wounded soul, ethereal, slowly healing

Death, synopsis attempt
Lie, it is not the end
Cold, so the story told
Not, welcoming and warm

Dare think that it is fair
Cry your tears in the rain
Born to suffer we are
Gift to the sweetest ones

Him we blame, "He takes away the innocent"
Here we're left to wash the blood stains on our hands
Why? The sinners always fail to understand
Life, their sentence till He puts it to an end

You curse, you curse Him when they leave
While you should be beggin' Him please
Beg Him, beg Him for your release

Dare think that it is fair
Cry your tears in the rain
Born to suffer we are
Gift to the sweetest ones

Him we blame, "He takes away the innocent"
Here we're left to wash the blood stains on our hands
Why? The sinners always fail to understand
Life, their sentence till He puts it to an end
