Lyrics


1. CONTINENTAL BREED

You're shining like the dawn
You always will be young
The sun held by the ground
Eternally

A man who should not live
So lost he can't retrieve
Beside you so naive
Beside you

Dry cold strange continental breed
I see the deepest grief behind your frozen eyes

And only life so bold
Can flourish on this soil
Hills of snow and golden glory

Dry cold strange continental breed
I feel the bitter wind blowing out of your mouth

Be the land, be the land, so wide
Burn the soil, be the sun, the light
To the grave, to the grave, my guide
Because I will always want to die

Be the land, be the land, so calm
How can the daylight be so warm?
Be the night, cold as ice, do harm
I will always want to die
And feel the pulse you keep inside
Yeah I will always want to die
So bury me under your arms


2. HIDE YOUR ANGER, GIVE YOUR MOUNTH

This is not a way of life
This is a waste of time
This is killing for free
And cursing my own mind

So uneasy to live
And knowing you're still alive
Where're (sic) you hiding?
Come and feed the animal

This is not a way of life
This is a wall of anger
I swallow the poison
And puke on my fingers

Wipe my hands on your face
Like the father and the child
Before the sweetest embrace
And the unholy sacrifice

Do I really deserve
To bleed and to hate you as much as I love this beautiful dawn
The beautiful sun that will warm up your grave

This is not a way of life
This is a waste of time
This is killing for free
And hating my own mind

You will live and I will die
And your children will die
And the sun will die
Never mind you're already alone

Do I really deserve
To bleed and to hate you as much as I love your beautiful daughter
Me and her and the empty sky on your grave

Don't speak too loud
But let your blood boil
Hide your anger give your mouth
Your heart is your tongue

Hide your anger give your mouth
Your heart is your lung


3. POISONS AND BLANDES

I've outgrown this darkness, oh I was so young
It stares at me from the corner of the room
In my dreams I feel horrified
By the pressure of a strange shadow in the deepest blue

I slept for twenty years and only dreamed about
A huge jump to the sky
I dreamed my blood was invisible
But in the deepest red the shadow found a place to hide

With courage and grace I will flee from home
And go back to the trees
The fruits of this country will be my own
Yeah my bed I will leave

With tears in my eyes I will flee from home
And go back to the seas
The salt of the oceans will be my own
Yeah my bed I will leave

And the depths I will reach
I will share them with everyone
And the giant squid
Will entwine everyone

With poisons and blades I will flee from home
And the stars I will reach
Unknown constellations will be my own
Yeah my bed I will leave

For you
Who sleeps
And dreams
And awaits


4. THE END WITHIN

I want to live this life alone
Kill the neighbour and go home
And when with rage I smash the door
Slip on his blood and hit the floor

A dirty pig
A cloud that never leaves
A fallen sheep

A dirty swine
The end of his life within the end of mine

Beyond the universal lie
I will witness with the reptiles
To the lingering death of love
That shined on us from above

A dirty pig
Reduced to a piece of meat
A fallen sheep
A dirty swine
The end of his life within the end of mine


5. TRAVEL WITH THE NIGHT

Oh travel with the night my friend
Disarrange and have no fear

Oh never with mankind my friend
Disengage and disagree
Oh feed your veins with stainless steel
Leave a trail and disappear


6. AS WE KNEEL

This cannot be heard
I never learned how to live
And the future so black
Was always a stranger for me

But I've never lost my way home
I've never lost my way
And a beautiful word like relief
Was never created for me

This cannot be said
I never knew what to feel
And the future so dark
Was always an abstraction for me

But I always trust my senses
And never broke my limbs
And a beautiful word like healing
Was never created for me

And for years with my young heart and my clever brain
I was sure I could reach harmony

And for years I just felt that the season so grey
Has always been and would always be

And then I planned a way to waste my days
The world inside my head
The world in my left hand

A blank life is what I live
With low interaction
My molten heart is frozen again
Kept away from fiery pain

And pain is a flame but fire has already burned the whole field
And united we are divided by millions
And burned by the soil as we kneel

Too hard to find a name for what will finally kill us
But please just keep in mind that time is not the enemy

Awaiting a new life form
We are waiting for love


7. COVER ME WITH KINDNESS

It is so addictive
Just to wonder how it could be
To walk through real pain
And feel a growing strength

It is hidden in my soul
I don't want to be a man
Exaltation takes control
Shiny mirrors in my brain

It is so beautiful
Just to wonder what it could mean
To dive into your eyes
And hear you confide

It is hidden in my soul
I don't want to be a man
Apathy takes control
Broken mirrors in my brain

Cover me with kindness
Don't let me kill the blackened man
Cover me with kindness

I don't want to put my hands on your wounds
Don't want to touch your blood
Don't want to heal your soul
I'm living just for your skin
I'm living just for your skin
But we're alive to bleed to death
Alive to bleed to death

It is so addictive
Just to wonder where I could be
With love and passion
And psychic surgery

But it is hidden in my soul
I deny intelligence
Prostration takes control
Blood is dripping in my brain


8. THE ROPE

Crève et meurs et mets fin à tes jours

Pray for the world that will die
Pray for your parents, they never were mothers
And even failed to be dads

Pray for yourself and open your arms (x2)

Going to teach you the rope and the blade
Going to help you to find your own way
A black face at the end of the journey
A bloodbath at the end of the day

Pray for the world that will die
Pray for your sisters, they never were brothers
And even failed to be wives

Pray for yourself and open your arms (x2)

We are all waiting for your last breath
Even the morning breeze wants your death
You will never see the face of God
You will never know how much you were loved
You will never know how much you were loved

Crève et meurs et mets fin à tes jours


9. DRIFT

Kneel today and heal today, a meal today
Will show you the way
Reveal today, unveil today but silk today
Will cover the trace

Kneel today and heal today and milk today
Will show you the way
Reveal today, unveil today but silk today
Will cover the trace

You are waiting for
A miracle to come
Like walking on water, animating a doll
You believe I can do it
Sharing water, sharing my blood
You believe that I can fill the emptiness of your life

Fill the emptiness of your life
Healing this sickness, spreading new ideals
You believe that I can
Change the colour of pain and love a human
You believe I can do it

Everything has been left to drift
