Coal black stream
Running through my vein
Silent scream
As i let it drain
Cold white feet
I shovel in my fear
Then i hear
A ho oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Swallowed it all
From the devil’s hand
Twist and crawl
As i put it to an end
Withdrawal
If i could disappear
But then i hear
A ho oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Watch my brain, as it goes
Watch my pain as it grows
Will i pay the price in gold
Or in sanity
Old chemistry
Tampering with my head
If i could see
I’d bite the apple instead
Sweet poetry
In an endless dream
But then i hear
A ho oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Heavenly Start
03:56
|
|||
|
By brushing the skin of her hand
You tread on no lily-white land
On many oceans this ship had sailed
Drifting to no avail
And sealing your fate with one kiss
You carved your name on the list
Enrolled brave little soldier
To war you levy her
I anchored my vessel at last
On a steady heart
Proud mate I disembarked
And prayed that such heavenly start
Herald the joy that your light will cast
Tearing windmills for your bride
Under her whimsical eye
She'll give the attention that she can spare
A soul beyond repair
And as you dived into her glance
You didn't stand a chance
Bewitched blind little warrior
Through hell you carry her

Fairytopia

In that room there’s a man
Who drowns puppies in his piss
A man who might just want to
Beat you with his fists
A man who will despise you all
And make you feel like you’re the evil one
Angels i’ll take you back
Where you belong
This is no place for a princess
We’ll ride our unicorns and fly
Where the sun never darkens
In that room there’s an infant
Who is bleeding herself to death
And there’s nothing you can do
To bring back her breath
And there will always be the people
Who make you feel like you’re the failing one
And i’m starting to think that
Angels I should take you back
Where you belong
This is no place for a princess
We’ll ride our unicorns and fly
Where the sun never darkens

Valentine's Day
02:25
|
|||
|
The night has wrapped her body
In the darkest overcoat
I cannot help but worry
That my demons proudly gloat
That I am left helpless
Vulnerable carrion
For despair to caress
For vultures to feed on
Sweet angel from afar
Praising my every tune
If I'm your lucky star
Then you're my honeymoon
The land of dreams has opened
And I have seen your face
And all the words unspoken
Have fallen with full grace
When I am left alone
And all hope goes astray
Your faith will be my own
My secret get away
But of the brightest sparkles
This blackness you array
Adorned of the finest jewels
The Queen of all dismay
Will dance on Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day

Royal Garden
03:10
|
|||
|
In my orchard carefully drawn
Tired eyes will capture the dawn
Morning dew of trickling tears
And honeydew will sweeten my fears
In my garden
Feel the winds gently blow
See the black-eyed Susans
Here they grow
Watch the soft pussy willow
Hear the sweet sound
Of greater sorrow
In my orchard I contemplate
Push up daisies, dig up mandrake
On the sunlight I greedily feast
And come what might I don't care the least
In my Eden
Paper-mâché wonderland
A world of my own self-brand
A song sparrow starts a tune
A praise of my own self-ruin
Feel the winds gently blow
See the black-eyed-susans
Here they grow
He's the King of all sorrow
But I'm the Queen
Of the Meadow

Ashes Adèle
05:10
|
|||
|
Paper ashes white and gray
Fall, curl and sway
On her eyelids
On her knees down and pray
The lord for his wings
So she flies right in
In the den of his Friend
Glow the embers of hell
For her the bell tolls
Blow on the flames
That'll be licking her hair
Ashes Adèle
Batting lashes start a storm
Crawl home to Rome
Over high hills
She will cast her last spell
She has no shadow
No reflection in the glass
She is the widow
Of all lost loves that have passed
Foam of ashes in her mouth
Against the scarlet of her lip
A white trickling avalanche
She'll take you in her grip

Slumber
03:50
|
|||
|
While you slept there was a storm
See what’s left of our home
Broken glass wallpapers that are torn
The frames of shattered dreams
Here lay
I swept the pieces at day
While you slept we saw a creature
Lurking patient in the corner
It was waiting for the weakest one
To cave and fail our hopes
Here lay
I shake the dread off at day
Are you ever gonna wake up
Steer yourself from the dark
If you’re ever gonna wake up
We could go for a walk
While you slept there was a rainbow
Spreading all colors in a row
Laying for us the path to follow
But you missed it all for here
You lay
I may fetch my bundle some day
Slumber over you
The sandman sealed your eyes
You're off to better times
Slumber is what you do
So you don't deal with life
Hardships and trials
But you missed it all for here
You lay

Perfect Harmony
03:25
|
|||
|
Few chords flutter with grace
In the summer of laziness
This one that you discarded once
Is the mother on whom you could rest
Who knows if you're cursed or blessed
Your fingers light as air
Dance like fairies in children tales
This one that you resented once
That you buried a token you could spare
Who knows if it's truth or dare
Can I sing along
Add a brick in your wall
Or should I do that alone
And just watch
As she steps in my throne
Throws up keys
In a sound
Of perfect harmonies
Then comes a melody
Angelbird rise in pure beauty
This one that you've mistaken once
Has never heard of an F, A or a G
Though she's always done her best
Can I sing along
Add a brick in your wall
Or should I do that alone
And just watch
As she steps in my throne
Throws up keys
To compose the tragic symphony
In which I can no longer star
Dumb spectator of the show from afar
As the crowd will revel in the sound
Of perfect harmonies

Empty Room
03:17
|
|||
|
Closer the walls are drawing
Bone-crushing silence weighing
On my chest and neck
The devil's minion is lying on my womb
Barren tomb
Empty room
Black moon
But the silken dress
Reflects the light and hope of the oppressed
In the empty room
I sing aloud
Filling the void with any sound
But what is the meaning of the calling
From the empty room
The velvet curtain is closing
Tonight I'll be returning
To my broken nest
Outside the birds are singing out of tune
Barred windows
Empty ruin
I brood
I will make a mess
And play house with the weak and the depressed
All in all
I'll make the call
To say that I'm fine
So that I glide
Under the radar
In a quiet fall

Orpheus
02:50
|
|||
|
Charming the stones
Of the river that cries and moans
Turning the sorrowful flow
Into glowing
Unfolded secrets
Of an intricate everlasting
Kind of joy
You took down the lyre of Orpheus
From where the Gods hung it high
Out of millions of stars in the sky
It was you
Down in the Underworld
Back with your beloved
You'd never set eyes
On the valuable prize
Unravel the riddle
Of a passionate ever-growing
Kind of love
When the sirens all called your name
I'm the one you claimed
