Harlequin's Crown
05:17
|
|||
Tear down the gates
Distract her!
Let the young prince ride far from here
Where lies the king?
–He’s gone, maybe dead–
Who’s the pretender roaming down the hall?
Hail to the thief
Flustered in red wine madness
Omen of sorrow
Harlequin’s crown of darkness
Treacherous queen
Spellbound
Clouded blank eyes, her alliance revealed
The jester‘s inside
Whispering
“I shall destroy all you hold dear and take thee down with me”
Hail to the thief
Flustered in red wine madness
Omen of sorrow
Harlequin’s crown of darkness
The young prince vanished in the blind
Our kingdom falls, will it rise proud again?
-
Farewell my prince
Abide long years of sorrow
Fear me
Free me
Now let your fears lead the way
It's time to say goodbye
It's time for me to die
And become a particle of dust
My son, where have you gone?
I see no signs
Infinite ocean heading to a storm
Hold on to my memory
Lift up your glass to the kingdom we once were
Slide into your sadness
Putting your heart forth

You Don't Belong Here
03:33
|

North winds - tremors of my past
Forbid the dead to linger in my yard
There’s headless chicken dancing on your grave
Let’s plow the ground and be what may -
‘Cause -oh oh- you don’t belong here!
—Yeah!—
Fill up your pockets with our burdens, boy
Of all your brothers you’re my only son
Be our print, be our pride
Redeem our dues with your life
Be the prodigy of our time,
Oh cherished lamb of sacrifice
You call this love?
Turn back and run!
Fired up clouds in your eyes
Oh, you don’t belong here
Burn down the cradle
Smash their dreams to the ground
In due time - your colors faded out
Your dreams died inside
And I say no, you don’t belong here!
Fired up clouds in your eyes
Oh, you don’t belong here
Taste the lead in your mouth
You’re six feet underground
Now your boy’s about to grieve
“Wait for me! - our destinies are one”
Become a spirit roaming free
Like you were never him
This throne you wield
Crumbles down at my feet

Half Star Cowboy
04:58
|

Daddy walks with a gun in his hand
A vintage cowboy
Stetson hat
Knows every word they say behind his back
Stocked-up on bullets,
One for every jack
Of all his brothers he’s an only child
Of all his buddies
The only man
One life’s too little for this bare outlaw
All dreams will dry out through his ruthless eyes
Seeking god’s condemnation
Guilt trepidation
“Everything you love must die”
Half Star Cowboy
Half Star Cowboy —a true man walks alone
Mommy wants the sixgun away
This unsung hero will not take debate
Feel the temple
Feel the gun
“Everything you love must die”
Half Star Cowboy
Half Star Cowboy —a true man walks alone
Leave behind this life of cowards
Break the things close to your heart
Drink the crystal clear elixir
Everything you know must die
Drink the crystal clear elixir
Have all fools remove their masks
Rise above these troubled waters
Everything you love must die
Load up — headshot!
Aim straight — headshot!
Discharge — headshot!
Feel the temple, feel the gun
Dead is all you have become
No more guilt, no more burn
Every fear will die in turn
Half Star Cowboy
Half Star Cowboy —a true man walks alone
Drink the crystal clear elixir
Everything you love must die

Shadow Hunter
03:37
|

Can you see me in the corner?
Right as you turn I am gone
Can you feel my dead touch on your neck?
It is the bond they imbued in our blood
I feed darkness to your dreams when you’re asleep at night
Breathe, my child!
I feed darkness to your fears when you’re awake at dawn
I wear darkness to seduce your fragile limbs when you’re immobilized
I serve a bloodline of feeblings
It is your gift from the past
I mouth the word of misfortune
Try as you may but I will not be downcast
Come find me Shadow Hunter - Shadow Hunter
Come find me Shadow Hunter - Shadow Hunter
Mother! Embrace your boy
The noxious spell has crawled inside his mind
Tainted blood
Clouds of treason
Fear of love
Coward’s prison
I feed darkness to your fears when you’re asleep at night
I am darkness that consumes your barely breathing life, frail boy

Drive
05:55
|

Yellow trains
Distant traffic lights sit dancing on wet glass
Longer days
Maybe all highways look the same
Drive far away from ceilings
Drive far away from walls
Drive far away from feelings
Drive ‘til the pain wears down
Rope ends
Timelapse animals seem pale
Longing days
Maybe all cowards feel the same
Drive far away from ceilings
Drive ‘til you hit the wall
Drive far away from feelings
Drive ‘til it pulls you down
Maybe you know,
You know life is short...
For pointless calls
Some men drive to seek their god
Some men drive to miss on love
Some men drive to feel alone
Or a shot at dreams far gone
Acceleration, knowledge lost
Disintegration, both eyes closed
Brother, keep praying for a bailout
Maybe hope will bring rapture or pain
Late night you will call
Sit tight, you’re up for blaring hate
Acceleration, knowledge lost
Disintegration, both eyes closed
Acceleration, knowledge lost
Disintegration, both eyes closed
Some will just drive for commotion
Yellow trains…
Brother, still dreaming of her moisture?
Sometimes your heart claims the way of the flesh
Leave, stay, it’s your call
But hey, you want to have it all
Drive far away from ceilings
Drive far away from walls
Drive far away from feelings
Drive, ‘til it pulls you down
Drive, what’s your heart concealing?
Drive, shame will drive you mad!

Lotus Intangible
04:04
|

I’ve been watching my way as I faithfully chase for the touch of a lotus unsought
In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king
Those unfortunate souls living obstinate roles end up stuck dying out by the road
I feel their troubled stares, but there’s no time to spare
Primal light’s never been found, my son
For truth dwells in the shadows
Found a stain on the back of my neck, is it real? Should I hide it? It has to come off
Will this wither my clean heart? I won’t let it stall my way
Nature tends to move in whirling ways
What you fear might just become your very self
Feast your eyes on sheer perfection
Through this eerie sight, oh child...
Mud the waters
Mud the waters
Feed your eyes with imperfection
Pray the lotus you may find
Mud the waters
Mud the waters
I’ve been watching my steps as I wander astray, am I lost? Am I burning my sight?
In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed man is king
Primal light’s never been found, my son
What you fear might just become your very self
Feast your eyes on sheer perfection
Through this eerie sight, oh child...
Mud the waters
Mud the waters
Feed your eyes with imperfection
Pray the lotus you may find
Mud the waters
Mud the waters with the sins you try so hard to unsee
I’ve been watching my way as I faithfully chase… what’s now gone
You can keep chasing the stardust
God knows when you’ll find your way
You can keep chasing the stardust
Once you're lost you'll understand

Heritage
04:36

Screaming walls keep ranting nonsense in our silence
The Sorrowman takes hostage and withholds mother away
This house is made of mirrors
Maybe he forgot our ears will keep on breathing
Maybe foolishly he thought his filth would leave no scent
Maybe he thought hate would just dispel by
Pressing it down, pressing it down, pressing it down
But children find a way to grow repeating what gives pain
His son is made of mirrors
Thirty five years of them
-
This house lives in our soul
Dread
Burning down our promises
You said we’d never be that man, no!
Shame
Building on his premises
“A chip off the old block, my son”
A house of burning coal
A baffled heart is torn
We’ve run for nothing
Flames of dread and shame
Consume our home
A suicide trend of old
Has found an empty mould

When You Try to Leave Me
06:29
|
|||
Fade behind the mirrors of deception
Slay the mythic king you think I should have been
I know, my son, finding your way is just waking in pain
Maybe tonight you will unravel at last our bad blood
Mayday, is feeling hatred really all I know?
Maybe this dreadful ache that chokes deep inside...
Had I walked away would the ghost remain dead?
Into the realm of the unknown
They say a part of me remains in you
Do you remember, my child?
You’ll see a man struggling to be true
One with the flow
Time is the thread of the weaver
Weave!
And now connect the dots beneath your hate
And look at this forgery of your own
Into the realm of the unknown
Reach out to find me, my heart is blue
Just ease my cry with a smile
My only wish, to hear the voice I knew
Easy, regrets are part of our nature
Sail through the barren winter
Forgiveness will spring out with life
Hidden under the snow
Into the realm of the unknown
Reach out to find me, my heart is blue
You seem to know we’re not through
Half the story lives inside of you
So, even when you try to grieve me
You let your prejudice be the light
Wishing your fantasies to be true
So, even when you won’t forgive me
You fail to see this path you avoid
Is the only path you walk
So, even when you try to leave me
My shadow lingers in your heart
Child, it’s time to let me die

It stopped pumping blood
Gone deaf
Beneath a monolith of iron
Regrets
Warm skin
The ghost in your head is all that’s left
Eyes disengaged
A rainfall of memories
She holds your hand still and murmurs your name
Until life fades away
--
The thread of memory entangling time
I know these images yet how cruel my heart
Funeral —raining
Mourning mass —raining
Procession —raining
Cremation —raining
The shame I bare is admission
I smiled at your death
Moist is pain as drought is relief
Inside burn in the eyes of god
The thought of you is of clouded skies
A menacing beast swallowing its tail
Hold tight, don’t think, freeze up the rain
Ghosts don’t crave any sympathy
Fade away
Remember those brown eyes filled with passion
Lively silly songs on the road
Bringing us along for communion
Pictures where your face is worn
Moist is pain as drought relief
Inside burn in the eyes of god
(whispering)
Hold this pain, never out
Hold this pain, keep it quiet now
Own this pain, hard to swallow
Ban this pain, keep it shallow
|

Anesthetize my veins inside out
Let me sleep, my mouth won’t swallow
Leave the casket, drifty wind
Let it drown, floating dim
I feel your breath
It’s like childhood never left
Stay with me tonight
Won’t you sing for me again?
I feel your breath
Stay nigh
|

Play, song of condemnation
Play, even when I’m deaf
Play, song of condemnation
Breathe the music in
|
||||
13. |
||||
Even when I think you’re gone
Even when I feel I’m done
Putting the nail on the coffin will not make these lies redeem what’s been scattered
Travel far -Empty-
Broken feet -Barren-
Lungs collapsed on the frozen summit
Runaway on a trip to nothing
Empty heart is my silver lotus
Grace follows fear
Will you take it?
Reborn from here
Can you make it?
Life comes back in
Make a stand now
Time has run out
|
||||
14. |
||||
Love, it fills a space
When I honor those who wandered before me
My heart with quiet anger
Pumping sadness
Rain comes now from within
You and I are bound forever
It’s been too long
Since I felt my own skin
Staring beyond the summit
Will I conquer my own will?
Looking up to the heavens
I will whisper
Wishing you a sound farewell
