1. Beyond Good And Evil

Jesus, no prince of my starved Hell to be
No way, my world it dies with me

Far beyond your eyes they seek
Beyond bonds of stars and skies
The kingdom where nothing dies

I am the stars burning evil in your heart
Beyond good and evil, we will never part
For every man and woman is a star
'Cause I burn inside you all, we will never part






2. Raped By The Light Of Christ

When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns

I have travelled thrugh suns,
And the darkness of the end
Now I surrender to the void
And join with the pulse of the universe

The world burns with worms of fire
The world burns

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
We were not born to follow
We don't need your guiding light

I tear the skies with my bare hands
There is no death for me
The world burns with worms of fire

Sun or animal, star or beast
Alone all the way to the heart of Christ

I'm free to die when I wish
I'm born from scarlet songs
And when the time is right
I shall forever walk alone

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
Worlds end, through a thousand suns






3. The Break Of Autumn

Catch the rainbow if you can
It will alwawys be ahead of you

Years passing swifter than you ever thought
Today will soon be behind you
And the future remains out of reach

Hunting the sun, setting at the horison
When shadows threat to swallow your weak soul
The key of light, the solution of all
I saw it clearly behind the veil of reality
And as I dreamed the lilies white
In the shade of a birch
They withered in the frost of awakening

Fiery the angels fell from the spires of my fortress of youth
Silent explosions in my universe of pain

Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude
And let me follow where daydreams go
When ambitions fall

Watch the sky, there is proof of your transcience
The stars that saw the birth ofour ancestors
Shall watch our descendants last steps on earth
So, unnoticed we will pass away,
Like a flickering in the perpetual chaos

The timebird rose from it's nest of bones
And thrust it's beak in my eye
With the beat of charging wings
My transcience was confirmed

Time perhaps for a salutary sleep
I still long for that silent land of dreams
Where the flames expire, where the spark fades
And hunger is born again






4. Non-Divine

From cold storms I emerge to inferno
Kiss me with your insanity, bless me with your plague
Burn through my head

The psychic treasures in the arena to find
Dead symbols that walk through the dreams of man
Non-divine, burning souls of red

Tounges of insanity , here I am
Lick me free from my dark past
And open my heart for your joy

I seek eternity where it lies to be found
My life will not end 6 feet under the ground
No rebirth in heaven where eternal sleep awaits
We must seek immortality beyond the seven gates

Make love with me this one last time
This one dead dream
And rot we can as gods
Together in a distant hell

Burn me with your tounges of love
Burn me free from my bitterness and hate

So let the light devour men
And eat them up with blindness

Non-divine, a restless soul
Worm, goat, eater of gods

Burn me with the3 tounges of your love
Burn me free from my hate

Set me on fire
Again and again






5. Primal Breath

Look the herons in the greenbilled water
Their wet-ash wings wear medalions of patience
We drift on...
We have stories as old as the great seas
Break through the chest
Flying out the mouth
Noisy toungues that once were silenced
All the oceans we contian, coming to light

All the dark birds rush from the river
Leaving only the stillness of their language
There are no clocks to measure time
But the beating of our single hearts
You will know it is winter
By the way your dreams tremble like stones
When the wind comes through
The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong






6. The Architects







7. Stardrowned

Slit open the skies and let out my stars

The night dies inside me
She's got ways to make me crawl
I respond like a machine

The sun shines from a thin sky
And these feelings they die
In the minds of the blind
Patterns red of love so dead

Under the floors, the dark woodsthey come back
Dark they needn't be, but your virgin blood is dead
The spark faded and gone

All the stars in her skin
The repulsion as I sin
She's roaring through my soul
All dressed in thoughts of flesh

With a beautiful wound I was born
It was all that I knew to own

Stardrowned

All the stars in her skin
The repulsion as I sin
She's roaring through my soul
Sears my nakedness my flesh

Stardrowned






8. Blood Of The Sunsets

The sun sets in a sea of love
Stab your demoniac smile in my brain
Seduce me with the blood of the sunsets
Lock me out from my body and it's pain

The golden wine of the sun
deep rich purple, whit and red
The crimson vintage of life and love
I'm drunk on the blood of the sunstes

I watch the burning clouds
fighting to get hold of the sun

Tak heed, I am born, god of the twilight
I am forever

Proud, naked, full of sin
Born where the flames never die
Lost in the garden of stars

"We used to situp ther for ages.
It was like we were giving birth to a new world.
A child of our spirits,
Wild with light, alive with colours."

"Have you ever considered true freedom?
Real true freedom.
We were gods, burning in the eternal twilight.
We were the end forever."

Beyond our sanity, a paradise for all to find

Blood of sunsets, the golden wine of the sun






9. The Burning Darkness

To see a wormhole in your eyes fall to earth
And plague my heavens black

With fear I kiss the burning darkness
Forever burn

Leave not only me
But for every thought I think

Forever burn






10. Ever-Opening Flower

Ever-opening flower
Feed me seven notes of love
Let it's wine burn through my veins
And free my sould from it's pain

Urges rage my fevered mind
Held back by dead note, blind

By the seventh sign of the seventh son
The seventh sun stes forever in the dark sea of my mind

Never shall i smile, never shall I die

Sun be gone, end my world
Enter darkness, rich of pain
I'm eternal, forever to be free
I'm one with fire, a thousand sun burn in me

Ever-opening flower
Feed me seven notes of love
Urges rage in my mind
Held back dead notes, blind
