Iron Maiden - "Infinite Dreams"

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
Incase the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid nightmare's statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I transcend?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
It's getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep

Even though its reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There's more to this I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
Would I like to get too far in?

It can't be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spiritualist? Well me I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know the truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side you're on
Where would you end
In Heaven or in Hell?

Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance, another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again

Tears - The Cruxshadows (yeah, been in a mood lately)

Reaching out in dead of night
Emptiness by candlelight
Memory, a haunted sea
Souring in sudden rage

The damage plagued upon my love
Driven by this selfish urge
To separate yourself from me
But not the way you planned

The gambit flow of shifting thought
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea
Swims; an ocean silently
Swims; the forest of my dreams
Swims; the essence I call me

Come bringing back now can't explain
The measures swept away in pain
Hatred, will I escape your grasp?
Buried feelings let me pass

I cannot kill this final flame
The fire that once consumed my heart
But Hope must have some kind of fuel
And Chance must keep this fire

The gambit flow of shifting thought
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear


Within each bone the salty sea
Swims; an ocean silently
Swims; the forest of my dreams
Swims; the essence I call me

(sampled interlude)

The gambit thought...
The gambit flow...
The gambit...

The gambit flow of shifting thought
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea
Swims; an ocean silently
Swims; the forest of my dreams
Swims; the essence of my being

The gambit flow of shifting thought
(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
(Looking for the shore)
And with each moment of despair
(I hope that this is the last time)
Lay to heart a lovely tear
(I hope that this is the last time)

Within each bone the salty sea
(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)
Swims; an ocean silently
(Looking for the shore)
Swims; the forest of my dreams
(I hope that this is the last time)
Swims; the essence of my being
(I hope that this is the last time)

The gambit flow of shifting thought
(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
(Looking for the shore)
And with each moment of despair
(I hope that this is the last time)
Lay to heart a lovely tear
(I hope that this is the last time)

Within each bone the salty sea
(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)
Swims; an ocean silently
(Looking for the shore)
Swims; the forest of my dreams
(I hope that this is the last time)
Swims; the essence of my being
(I hope that this is the last time)

Snow Patrol - Run

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

(Then skipping ahead a little)

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say...

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do


Hurrah for soppy songs

Hurt -- NIИ
I enjoyed Johnny Cash's version better, mainly because I felt the pain in his voice when he recorded this, shortly after June's death.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Bauhaus - God in an Alcove

Go and look for the dejected once proud
Idol remembered in stone aloud
Then on coins his face was mirrored
Take a look it soon hath slithered
To a fractured marble slab, renunciation clad
His nourishment extract from his subjects
That mass production profile

He's a God- in- in an alcove

Once he spread the rain
So they dreamt in vain
Once he spread the wheat
Had made garlands for his feet
Until the lily poet of our times
Horizoned on the line
Love became the in theme then
Opposing fakers thrice by ten
Don't perceive his empty plea
That redundant effigy

He's a God- in- in an alcove

Take in view his empty stool
What's left is satin cool
Clawing adornment for his crimes
They saw they had to draw the line
So they sent him far away
So they sent him far away
To a little alcove
To a little alcove
All alone

He's a God, a God

Now I am silly
Now I am silly
Silly, silly, silly, silly
Silly

she walked out of her house
and looked around
at all the gardens that looked
back at her house
(like all the faces
that quiz when you smile)

and he was standing
at the corner
where the road turned dark
a part of shiny wet
like blood the rain fell
black down on the street

and kissed his feet she fell
her head an inch away from heaven
and her face pressed tight
and all around the night sang out
like cockatoos

"there are a thousand things" he said
"i'll never say those things to you again"
and turning on his heel
he left a trace of bubbles
bleeding in his stead

and in her head
a picture of a boy who left her
lonely in the rain
and all around the night sang out
like cockatoos

--The Cure 'Like Cockatoos'

Chocolate Jesus - Tom Waits

Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more

I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well I don't want no Anna Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul


When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Sabbat

A CAUTIONARY TALE 4:15
(Music: Sneap/Lyrics: Walkyier)

Faustus begin thine incantations
take care to draw thy circle true,
by God you must prevail -
for if you fail these
demons make a meal of you.

Your soul shall be their meat -
a kingly feast for them to eat,
beware, your future is at hand,
alas for thou art damned.

GOOD ANGEL:

"Faustus seek repentance,
abjure this evil art,
cease this wretched wickedness
and cleanse thy foolish heart,
for the evil that once served you
has made of you a slave,
and transformed your 'bed of roses'
to a premature grave"

Then in a mighty flash of light
before thee Mephistopheles appears.

FAUSTUS:

"I charge thee go and change thy shape,
for you fill my soul with fear.

Now swift-as-hell back to the fire,
return an old Franciscan Friar.

MEPHISTOPHELES:

"Mortal command me while you can,
For surely though art damned."

BAD ANGEL:

"Faustus be thou resolute
in what thou wilst perform,
ignore those righteous idiots -
their trinity to scorn,
for years of deprivation you recieve eternal life,
but fame and wealth and maidens fair
are by far the better price."

FAUSTUS:

"Temptations all around me,
is there nowhere I can turn?
Hellfire is all about me,
now I know that I shall burn,
I face excommunication for the error
of my ways -
to burn in Hell for all my days.
bell, book and candle,
candle, book and bell,
forwards and backwards,
to damn me to Hell.

Jehova I beg thee have mercy on my soul.
Be gone foul beast that stands before me,
my God! The midnight hour chimes,
oh Lord have mercy he comes for me,
I haven't got much time.
I am awake this is no dream,
I cry - but terror takes my scream,
and now my future is at hand,
alas for I am damned."

GOOD ANGEL:

"Think for just one moment
and I'm sure that you will see,
the moral of this story -
that what shall be must be.
He who gives his soul to Hell,
must dare to pay the price,
he versed in divinity must
live a noble life -
OR ELSE HE IS DAMNED!"

Admittedly, it is corny, but I liked the improvisation of the "Double Trouble" lyrics from MacBeth in the third Harry Potter Movie. You have permission to flame me. I like the poetry of these lyrics.

DOUBLE TROUBLE LYRICS

Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Double, double, toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes.
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing.
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Double, double, toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes.
In the cauldron boil and bake,
Fillet of a fenny snake,
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf.
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Something wicked this way comes

Favorite Non-Flammable lyrics is a toss up both by Queen: The Show Must go On and Who Wants to Live Forever?

It's the bee's knees, isn't it? Tom Waits writes some wonderful poetry. Here's another one of his:

The Piano Has Been Drinking

The piano has been drinking
My necktie's asleep
The combo went back to New York, and left me all alone
The jukebox has to take a leak
Have you noticed that the carpet needs a haircut?
And the spotlight looks just like a prison break
And the telephone's out of cigarettes
As usual the balcony's on the make
And the piano has been drinking, heavily
The piano has been drinking
And he's on the hard stuff tonight

The piano has been drinking
And you can't find your waitress
Even with the Geiger counter
And I guarantee you that she will hate you
From the bottom of her glass
And all of your friends remind you
That you just can't get served without her
The piano has been drinking

The piano has been drinking
And the lightman's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid
And he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking
Without fear of contradiction I say
The piano has been drinking

Our Father who art in ?
Hallowed by thy glass
Thy kindom come, thy will be done
On Earth as it is in the lounges
Give us this day our daily splash
Forgive us our hangovers
As we forgive all those who continue to hangover against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver from evil and someone you must all ride home

Because the piano has been drinking
And he's your friend not mine
Because the piano has been drinking
And he's not my responsibility

The bouncer is this Sumo wrestler
Kinda cream puff casper milk toast
And the owner is just a mental midget
With the I.Q. of a fencepost
I'm going down, hang onto me, I'm going down
Watch me skate across an acre of linoleum
I know I can do it, I'm in total control
And the piano has been drinking
And he's embarassing me
The piano has been drinking, he raided his mini bar

The piano has been drinking
And the bar stools are all on fire
And all the newspapers were just fooling
And the ash-trays have retired
And I've got a feeling that the piano has been drinking
It's just a hunch
The piano has been drinking and he's going to lose his lunch
And the piano has been drinking
Not me, not me, The piano has been drinking not me

At the end of days, at the end of time
When the Sun burns out will any of this matter?
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?

And in retrospect I'll say we've done no wrong
Who are we to judge what's right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong
Running wild unaware of what might come of us

The Sun was born, so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Each day shall end as it begins
And though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me

Without a thought I will see everything eternal
Forget that once we were just dust from heavens far
As we were forged we shall return, perhaps some day
I will remember you and wonder who we were

The Sun was born, so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Each day shall end as it begins
And though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me

David Bowie - Loving the Alien

Watching them come and go
The templars and the saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams oh ho

Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of coeur de lion
Salvation for the mirror blind oh ho

But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers they break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)

Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan

Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays oh ho
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail oh ho

But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear oh ho
Prayers they hide the saddest view
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And your prayers they break the sky in two
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
You pray till the break of dawn
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
(Believing the strangest things, loving the alien)
Believeing the strangest things (loving the alien)

"Well, I heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?"
- Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen

Hmmm...I just realised much of my favourite lyrics contain religious imagery... maybe it's the lapsed Catholic in me...

Dead Boy's Poem - Nightwish

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home

Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can't play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
- My loveletter to nobody

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night

"If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry the one without tears
For I've given this its strength and it has become my only strength.
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life"

"Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell [this bitter farewell]
I live no more to shame nor me nor you

And you... I wish I didn't feel for you anymore..."

A lonely soul... An ocean soul...

Black Angel's Death Song - Velvet Underground

The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose
What had he to lose
Not a ghost bloodied country
All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose
And wandering's brother
Walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T.
The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long
To his skull-shrill yell
Shining brightly red-rimmed and
Red-lined with the time
Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks
From the bells
Cut mouth bleeding razor's
Forgetting the pain
Antiseptic remains cool goodbye
So you fly
To the cozy brown snow of the east
Gone to choose, choose again
Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
Where you come from
The stools of your eyes
Serve to realize fame, choose again
And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse
For the loss of a horse
Went the bowels and a tail of a rat
Come again, choose to go
And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame
Have your head bobbed and weaved
Choose a side to be on
If the stone glances off
Split didactics in two
Leave the colors of the mouse trails
Don't scream, try between
If you choose, if you choose, try to lose
For the loss of remain come and start
Start the game I che che che che I
Che che ka tak koh
Choose to choose
Choose to choose, choose to go

Cool

Iron Maiden

Still Life



"Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me.

Oh.....I've never felt so strange
But.....I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do.

Oh.....they drain my strength away
Oh.....they're asking me to stay.

Nightmares.....spirits calling me
Nightmares.....they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now.....I feel they are so near
I.....begin to see them clear

Nightmares.....coming all the time
Nightmares.....Will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too.

Oh.....we'll drown together
It.....will be forever.

Nightmares.....forever calling me
Nightmares.....Now we rest in peace. "

Two. I hope you don't mind.

1. "Half Jack" by The Dresden Dolls

Half underwater,
I'm half my mother's daughter.
A fraction's left up to dispute.
The whole collection,
Half off the price they're asking
In the halfway house of ill repute.

Half accidental...
Half painful instrumental...
I have a lot to think about.
You think they're joking?
You have to go provoke him...
I guess it's high time you found out.

It's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong.
You'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too...
Long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back.
I'm half Jill,
and half Jack.

I'm half Jack!

Two halves are equal.
A cross between two evils.
It's not an enviable lot,
but if you listen
you'll learn to hear the difference
between the halves and the have-nots.

And when I let him in I feel my stitches getting sicker.
I try to wash him out but like they say: The blood is thicker.
I see my mother in my face,
but only when I travel.
I run as fast as I can run,
but Jack comes tumbling after!

And when I'm brave enough I'll find a clever way to kick him out.
And I'm so high not even you and all your love could bring me down.
On 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact:
I'm half Jill,
and half Jack!

I'm halfway home now,
half hoping for a showdown.
'cause I'm not big enough to house this crowd.
It might destroy me,
but I'd sacrifice my body
If it meant I'd get the Jack part... out...

SEE. JACK. RUN.

Run, Jack, run!

2. "Eve At The Mansion" by Katzenjammer Kabarett

Today they brought mummy to the grave;
I buried my sweet dolls near that hedge.
A year ago I had to put them all away,
down inside my closet. I asked them to stay.

I'd just got 13 and mummy would say that when I'm 13 we should give all the dolls away.
I see before me open red eyes, two little globes or rubicund flies.
They turn and glare behind the stove and see my hands still under my gloves…
Under my gloves.

Don’t you move now a monster is sneaking.
Don’t you breathe now on your laps he’s sitting.
Oh stupid monster! How stupid he is! Thinks he’s gonna tell us something weird.
And you know what? I’m not scared at all. And don’t you know, my sister my dear?
And you know what, my sister my dear? We’re gonna teach him what is real fear...
What is real fear…
We’re gonna teach the monster what is real fear.


(Mummy was just the greatest of my dolls and for daddy too who played with her whole. For...)

Yes we all would play with mummy until the morning sent her to the dirt.
“That’s no drama in this house," he now says, "That’s it!" with the day she passed away.
I see on your face darkness is coming, but in her tomb your mother still lying…
Your mother still lying...

(She turns and prays and finally rests and silently waits for the next.)

Don’t you speak now tobacco is burning.
Don’t you call her, no she won’t be coming.
Oh witty daughter! How witty you are! Think you’re gonna step her back to here?
And you know what? I will not believe that with your cries, my daughter my dear!
You know what? I won’t believe you’re gonna find her stepping back to here…
Back to here.

La, la, la, la.

Then she stood and took the table between, and told her dad to sit and be still.
“Hush now my little dad, I’m gonna call and call and call the spirit of hers.”
The pedestal moved and jumped and stopped when her mummy’s ghost on the door then knocked.
“Already here!” Little Girl said. “Have a sit mummy before it’s too late.”

Don’t you go know your wife is speaking. Don’t you lie now truth will soon spring.
Unfaithful father, what a shame you now show! What do you think from her mouth will blow.
And you know what? I’m not scared at all. Don’t you know, my father my dear?
And you know what, my father my dear? Can see on your face what is real fear…
What is real fear...

La, la, la, la.

("I died on my will, neither by me or anyone killed. Wanted to die and now I am dead.
A cancer came by that was my pledge. Now my husband listen to me well.
I had a lover who with you now dwells. Ha! Ha! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! ")

Celtic Frost `Mesmerized `


You, who like the moon at night
Haunted my mortal heart...
You who made these ancient walls
Shine like divine marble

The unwanted breath - through creedence
A derelict shell in the desert

- Mesmerized -
As love inflamed the night
Burning tongues brought the rain
The sand remained - purified

Murmur at the meager's spear
Battered Cartagian pride
The beloved cry - wasted dismay
Invasion of baseness and shade

You, loved by your father
Innocent as a vestal - dove

Buried in a deep blue sea
As we all lose - ever


Another classic by Celtic Frost.

I was listening to one of my favorite bands and one of the songs made me think of two current topics in discussion here - the immigration troubles in the States, and also the issue of parents not bothering to care about their children. So without further ado, here it is.

Pennywise

"Anyone Listening"


Far below beneath a burning hot sun, our civility's waking up,
hate your neighbor cause he's not your kind, fell out of favor,
now he's out of luck, get in your car, fuel up and get a job,
you got no worries, you don't care that much,
pass the beggars as they lie out on the street,
just look away and roll your windows up, you don't have to worry,
he's not one of us, yeah

Is there anyone listening to this beautiful tragedy,
is there anyone watching this wonderful nightmare,
don't care much, you'd rather kill

Check out Johnny as he plays out in the street, keeps to himself,
he doesn't say too much, can't get along with the kids in school,
likes to make bombs and blow things up,
his mom and dad think everything's fine,
they got no worries, they don't care that much,
all that tension bottled up inside, one day soon now he's gonna erupt,
you don't have to worry, he's not one of us, yeah

Is there anyone listening to this beautiful tragedy,
is there anyone watching this wonderful nightmare,
don't care much, you'd rather kill

And I settled it, it was close as one inch and I saw everything,
all men is good and all men is evil, hope to forget the chime,
I laid back for generous efforts,
good will and bold evil to lurch back in time,
then can reality settle it all forever now,
I saw the rebellion challenge it,
it was something wrong and then I marched towards the authority
and I say it never exists in here...

Is there anyone listening to this beautiful tragedy,
is there anyone watching this wonderful nightmare,
is there anyone listening to this beautiful tragedy,
is there anyone watching this wonderful nightmare,
don't care much, you'd rather kill

Rozz Williams with Gitane Demone - Flowers

This is my favourite sad story,
Forget me not or I'll forget myself
I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of
sometimes I just can't face myself
This is my favorite sad story,
Forget me not or I'll forget myself.
I guess I'll tuck myself away tonight,
you know it's been one of those days.

Every pretty flower,
every lovely flower,
every deadly flower
hides its light inside of shame.

I do not know why you don't know,
I cannot reap what you have sown
Beneath this blanket of loose soil,
wrapped around my mortal coil.

Well a stem is not a rose,
but that's how my garden grows.
I can't see the forest for the trees,
the stinking poison for disease
Now it's all shot to hell and back again.
I seek redemption for the
same old sins and I fall on my knees,
And I pray that all the poppies they
they will just fade away.
But fields of poppies they remain.
That's how they found me last time, dead

This is my favorite sad story,
forget me not or I'll forget myself.
I've got quite a few things that I'm afraid of,
sometimes I just won't face myself.
This is my favorite sad story,
forget me not or I'll forget myself
I guess I'll just tuck myself away tonight
you know its been one of those days.

Every pretty flower,
every lovely flower,
every deadly flower,
hides its light inside of shame.

I do not know why you don't know,
I cannot reap what you have sown,
Beneath this blanket of loose soil,
wrapped around my mortal coil.

Irises lay in spring mud,
where lovers drown each other's sorrows,
Where lovers dream about tomorrows.
As for me I drown another kind as
sadness runs course through my veins.
Posie wreaths they crown me.
My heart, My heart
I should just fade away, fade away
Like a flower...

"Beautiful Freak"

You're such a beautiful freak
I wish there were more just like you
You're not like all of the others

And that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
That is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Some people think you have a problem
But that problem lies only with them
Just 'cause you are not like the others

But that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
Yeah that is why i love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

Too good for this world
But i hope you will stay
And i'll be here to see
That you don't fade away

You're such a beautiful freak
I bet you are flying inside
Dart down and then go for cover

And know that i
I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak
You know that i
I love you
Beautiful freak, beautiful freak

INKUBUS SUKKUBUS -- Heart of Lilith

She has come from the shadows of the dream world
A dark angel from the darker side of love
Across a sea of tears
A hundred thousand years
Come with her and dance in the moon light
And you are lost to this world evermore
Put your hand in her hand

Come and fly now with the angels
Rise again now like the phoenix
Your the love that lives forever
In the heart that never dies, never dies
Heart of Lilith!

Come and drown in the lake of her passion
Come and die so you can be reborn
Hear the siren sing
Hear the death knell ring
She's a witch a siren and a vampyre
She has come from the distance stars
To take your heart
To break your heart

Come and fly now with the angels
Rise again now like the phoenix
Your the love that lives forever
In the heart that never dies, never dies
Heart of Lilith!

Come and kiss, kiss the lips of Lilith
Come and kiss and you will be no more
Feel the fire
Of desire

Come and fly now with the angels
Rise again now like the phoenix
Your the love that lives forever
In the heart that never dies, never dies
Heart of Lilith!

Come and fly now with the angels
Rise again now like the phoenix
Your the love that lives forever
In the heart that never dies, never dies
Heart of Lilith!

Candlemass `Mirror Mirror`


Mirror, mirror upon the wall
Magic demon eye
A realm of madness
Awakened by the call

Speak the ancient words of mages
Try to take control
The essence of evil,
A challenge for your soul

The battle of minds
The riddle the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved
Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!

Iridescent pulsation light
Glowing in its heart
The surface is reflecting
Nightmares of your mind

Green mist swirling deep within
A dark dimension takes from
The grip of clawed hands drags you inside

The battle of minds
The riddle the rhymes
Beware of the darkness behind
Usurped and enslaved
Redeemed and betrayed
The devil in the mirror, obey!

Enchanted with powers to conquer your soul
Good or evil it won't mind
The mirror of darkness is blind

Feel the presence, the voice of the dark
Break the balance, intrudes your mind
Try to deny, oh master of fools
Captured forever, the loser learns the rules



Classic Doom !!!
