1. THE GATES WIDE OPEN

Speak of the devil
And she’ll appear
Just to revel
In my despair

In all my anguish
Pushed away
Locked to vanish
’til Judgment Day

Unholiness,
What have I done
That you, temptress,
Welcome me in?

The gates wide open
For the broken and gone
Nothing of me will remain
Ashes rain across the sky

Lure me in
With your arms wide
But you spill treason
I’d rather die

The gates wide open
For the broken and gone
Nothing of me will remain
Ashes rain across the sky

The gates wide open
Sorrow, unspoken
Leaving all hopes begone
And the dawn breaks into night

In my despair

The gates wide open
For the broken and gone
Nothing of me will remain
Ashes rain across the sky

The gates wide open
Sorrow, unspoken
Leaving all hopes begone
And the dawn breaks into night

Across the sky
Breaks into night
Across the sky
Breaks into night


2. BLACK MIRRORS

Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux

I am abandoned
My chest like a broken house
Forgotten rooms
A space so desolate

I am empty-handed
Parched barren soil
Pale like the moon
Did never hesitate
To stay, to wait

You haunt the empty halls,
Bedroom walls
Whispering through ceiling cracks

Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free

Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux

Illuminate me
I’m done with quiet
Done with your spook
Keep me your souvenir
Another thousand years

Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free

Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
I want to break free

Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux

Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see

Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free

Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux

Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
I want to break free
I want to break free


3. YOU OPEN UP THE EARTH

I see you through the cracks
I see you trap the light
And I die
And I die in the dark

I see your cruel despair
I see you in denial
That you hide
That you hide
You’re hiding in death

You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
And the sun remains still
You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
My constellations will be rearranged

I feel your gravity
I feel you enter me
And I bleed
And I bleed over you

I see your hopeless craze
I see the end of days
We all fall
And we all fall to make sense

You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
And the sun remains still
You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
My constellations will be rearranged

You dwell
Where you don’t belong
And you take
What I don’t want to give

You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
And the sun remains still
And the moon stands in place
You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
My constellations will be rearranged

You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
And the sun remains still
You open up the earth
You’re a black hole in the earth
My constellations will be rearranged


4. KILLING MOONS

I’m broken by silence
Broken, without a way into your universe
So cruel is the passion trapped inside of me
Eating me

Is it all in my head?
Why can’t I hear you? Hear you…?
If love conquers all
What happened to hope?
Are we out of it?

We know that I will become a stranger
Can’t stop the memories turn into dreams
I’m killing moons

Our pictures are changing colours
Like autumn leaves
My lighthouse is darkened
But the shadow remains
When years are washed out

Is it all in my head?
Haven’t you changed? Cannot recall…
And I am alone, forever, vanishing into sleep

We know that I will become a stranger
Can’t stop the memories turn into dreams
Killing moons
Slowly I will become a stranger
While I fade into the stars
I’m killing moons
Killing moons

Tell me I’m the only one
Like you used to do
Tell me I’m the only one
Like you used to do
Tell me I’m the only one
Like you used to do
Tell me I’m the only one
Like you used to do
Tell me I’m the only one


5. SEVEN ARCHANGELS

I make light for darkness to see me
My mission, my war and the keys
An invitation for my seekers
This is stronger than you

Can’t you hear the trumpets?

Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Can’t you hear the trumpets?
Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Can’t you hear the trumpets?

Follow the signs and you will
Get the dates and the coordinates
I’m ancient, I’m the awakener
I breathe and they speak

Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Can’t you hear the trumpets?
Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Can’t you hear the trumpets?

Stone, water, blood, wine
Stone, water, blood, wine
Stone, water, blood, wine
Stone, water, blood, wine
Stone, water, blood, wine
Stone, water, blood, wine
Stone, water, blood, wine

I speak and they live
Show me your ways
Show me your ways
I’m high on desire
Show me your ways
I’m high on desire

Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Seven seals, seven archangels
Can’t you hear the trumpets?
Seven seals, seven archangels
Can’t you hear the trumpets?


6. CALL ON THE DARK

Fear Not.
What is not real, never was and never will be.
What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.
(The Bhagavad Gita, as translated by Eknath Easwaran)

What’s taken so long?
No prize for holding on
To this broken nonsense without a name

You knew we don’t belong
To stay here was so wrong
Had me flying like a moth into the flame

And I fell from off the clouds
Crashing on the ground

How many years it has taken
How come the stars looked so bright?

Why did she call on the dark?
Why did she call on the dark?
We are lost in echoes

Didn’t see it unfold
We were going for the gold
Heaven and earth aligned
Hindsight

Spinning uncontrolled
We’re striking to collide
Through a storm of daggers I fly
That shine so cold

Silently you’re cutting out my heart

How many years it has taken
How come the stars looked so bright?

Why did she call on the dark?
Why did she call on the dark?
We are lost in echoes

We left the circle
Protecting circle
We broke the circle
And moons fall on the earth

Why did she call on the dark?
I heard her singing…
Happy people have no stories
Happy people have no stories

Why did she call on the dark?
I heard her singing…
Happy people have no stories
Happy people have no stories

Yeah I know…
Why did she call on the dark
Yeah I know….
Why did she call on the dark
Happy people have no stories


7. AVALANCHE

Where…
Where are you now?
Won’t you lie beside me while I’m losing my mind?

How…
A single breath
Can rip the heart out of my chest
I gave it for you

Lay you under flowers
You left like an avalanche
The scent of your hair
Of deepest black
Like a rainstorm around me

I’ll always remember
That grey morning when
Every tear froze on my face
When I carried you
Lifeless in my arms

You left like an avalanche
The scent of your hair
Of deepest black
Like a rainstorm around me
You left like an avalanche
My screams break through the floodgates
Like an avalanche
Avalanche

Darkness, enclose me
Darkness, enclose me

This eulogy mourns the fall of my light

You left like an avalanche
The scent of your hair
Of deepest black
Like a rainstorm around me
You left like an avalanche
My screams break through the floodgates
Like an avalanche
Avalanche

Can’t hide what was ours
Can’t cut off our bond
What you broke I can’t repair
But you will always be there


8. AN ARROW

I’m crucified
They prey on me
Your embrace will hit
Will I survive?

I’ll take the hurting
For your promise
Their plastic cathedral will melt
At your command
At your command

I feel like an arrow
Like an arrow
Burning feather in a storm
Higher
Into heaven

Hold me down
Burden
Adrenaline like gasoline
Who’ll go up in smoke?

I’m free like an arrow
Like an arrow
Burning feather in a storm
Higher
Into heaven
Light like an arrow
An arrow


9. LIKE MATCHES

Like matches
Like matches
Like matches
Like matches

Collisions ahead tonight
Tears like honey
The last ray of light
Hidden your halo
And the dawn will bring no happiness

Like matches
Like matches
Like matches
Our bodies are burning
Like matches
We’re fire, fire, fire, fire!

Like damaging winds in sight
You storm into my life
And take my soul
To the four corners of the earth
And then you rush to burn all the bridges
Leading back to my arms

Like matches
Like matches
Like matches
Our bodies are burning
Like matches
We’re fire, fire, fire, fire!

Our souls in pieces, shattered
My heartbeat decreases, tattered

Like matches
Like matches
Like matches
Our bodies are burning
Like matches
We’re fire, fire, fire, fire!

Like matches
Like matches
Like matches
Our bodies are burning
Like matches
We’re fire, fire, fire, fire!

Gravity is broken
My heart will forever grieve over
The love my eyes cannot see anymore


10. DEATH POEM

I cannot find a haven
Wandering in emptiness
There’s no mercy

Each and every moment waking
To the constant taste of loss
Am I unworthy?

The day when all faith is lost
When all faith is lost
I am home
The moment I’ll be gone
They will know
When I’ll be gone
You’re my death poem

I have lost my bearings
Castoff between life and death
No-one to weigh my heart

So ungodly and unfearing
I ran out of time and breath
Now life’s come apart

The day when all faith is lost
When all faith is lost
I am home

The moment I’ll be gone
They will know
When I’ll be gone
You’re my death poem

I wish you could see
Your words I became
Save me one last tear
For a souvenir

I have seen too much
Dark and pretense
Twisted underneath
I can’t find the strength to breathe
