Tracks



01. Sanctum

The pupil wide
The eyes wide shut
A state of bliss
The work of god
A ladder up
A world in shock
Ecstasy and missing rungs
And I wanna rage
Forever rage
Canine madness
Hand grenade
And I fear the light
The stars must die
The stars must die tonight

Cult

The witch is born
Abstract and torn
With dagger and a bag of thorns
And love is hate
The children play
A died off world is born again
And I wanna rage
Forever rage
I cut the world in two
This one is for you
This is your part
Mine is broken
Mine is art

I cut the world in two
I cut the world in two now
My world
Sanctum

The pleasure dome
A house to roam
A labyrinth with caves to crawl
Into the light
A starless night
Forever watching
Search inside
Beautiful view
This is all for you
I painted the caves black for you
And I wanna die
The child must die
The child must die tonight

I wanna rage
I burn the witch
Executioner
No! No! No!
Don't burn the witch
Don't burn the witch
I see the eye
No! No! No!
Not!

02. Don't Look Now

Pitch black sunrise
Unclean hand
The hungry falters on the verge
On our wounded back
Where empires turn to dust
So who will touch the shaking ground
Giant walls come crashing down
Necromantic romance
Short lived infinity

Into the temple of the night

Spilling from gods sacred mouth
The ending crawls
I come without
Black day night run
Living skeleton
Stone to the head
Don't look now
Evil sitting on the wall
Eternity is way too small for us

Into the temple of the night
Far too far to turn around
The morning star haunts our memories

Dive now
I'll see you falling this time
And I don't wanna miss the final act
Come back
On a crest of a wave
And I climb the highest peak
To dive with you

Necromancer
Dirty black
The ending crawls
Stone to the head
The morning star haunts our memories
So who will touch the shaking ground
Sticking needles into the crowns
Pitch black sunset
Short lived infinity

Into the temple of the night
Far too far to turn around
The morning star haunts our memories
Holy holy deliverance

03. Veronica's Room

Defeats the dark
Cries out
Escapes the silence

Requiem
The needle plays
Veronica keeps dancing all day
Down

Dionysos
The door is locked
Catharsis and gloria

I haunt you
Gathered myself
I am lost and you are too

Cold lights in the dark
Me within the temple and the devilish one
Veronicas room is empty from inside

You're here with me
I am not
I swallowed the key to the stars

Holy shrine
Someone died
Bood steps out from the inside

Cold lights in the dark
Me within the temple and the devilish one
Veronicas Room is empty from inside
Cold lights you're running from
Me the raging devil and the light become one
Veronicas Room
A place to seek and hide

Believing dark
Blood from the inside
Believing dark
Come I will save you

04. He Is Here

Pyramids
Point nemo
The afterlife
A tyrant
Silent and bare
Mariana trench
Gas-giant
Everest
A diving bell without air
Hanging gardens of Babylon
Tainted flowers I wear

Light's out
He's here
Somewhere
I have seen him before
I have seen him before
Teach out
Turmoil
Icon
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

Black waters gather and take me back
Rubicon rotting away
Crossing the line to the underworld
Flee from the waters the say

Light's out
He's here
Somewhere
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

Reach out
Turmoil
Icon
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

Light's on
In line
This time
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

Again
In death
I am
I have seen him
I have seen him

Into the recondite oceans unnamed
Untamed
Burning beds
Never rests
Phosphorus anonymous
Chose to live
It's a gift
Vertigo
Falling slow
Waters ends
Paying debt
Hold my hand
Waters end

Black vast seas seeping to the ground
Wounds of creations never-ending flow
Reaching backwards underwater love
Waters follow wherever he goes

From Adam's ribs
He's calling you
Words you won't understand

Tumbling down
Take away your shine
And selling arms to all sides

05. Cotard

Ghosts and nightshades
The stage is empty now
Starstruck devils fill the air
A shadow hiding in the lair
This time gone soon

Collapse
Solemn bleeds the night
Collapse now

Sleep pariah
Drifting in the aisles
The sound of thunder filled the sky
Now silence keeps echoing the room
Come darkness soon

Collapse
Solemn bleeds the night
The glowing man
Forever ceases to shine
Collapse now

Collapse now
Arriving one last time

Collapse
Solemn bleeds the night
The burning man
Descending one last time

Silence now

06. Black House

House painted black
The hallway white
No mirror ever hung inside

No sunlight
No moonlight
One tower to unlock the mind
No window to count the falling stars

I'm going nowhere
Roaming somewhere
Black house
I'm going nowhere
Going somewhere inside

Phantom nails and healing hands
Burn like the flickering of death

No sunlight
No moonlight
Paralysis of the mind
Deracinate what I have lost inside

I'm going nowhere
Roaming somewhere
Black house
I'm going nowhere
Going somewhere inside

House painted black
The hallway white
Aquiver mirror for the blind eye

07. Heart

One world starts spinning
The other world has stopped
There's no beginning
No adopting of the heart

We're not gonna win it
And I hold the hopeless man gripping the soul
We're not gonna win it
Because

Heart is worn out
Heart is soaked
I'm gonna lay it down where it's coming from
Reach out
Far cry
Reach the sky
Now float away into the night

One world starts spinning
The other world has stopped
There's no beginning
No adopting of the heart

We're not gonna win it
And I hold the hopeless man gripping the soul
We're not gonna win it
Because

Heart is worn out
Heart is soaked
I'm gonna lay it down where it's coming from
Reach out
Far cry
Reach the sky
Now float away into the night

Not gonna spin it
And I feel the rain keeps falling through my head

We're not gonna win it
Inverted firmament
And I see the shed blood drying on my wings

The golden spiral
The mirror and the spoon
Dead end epistle
A letter to the moon

Void place of the spirit
Dopamine in boleskine
Holy guardian angel

Run for your life
Run this time
Don't wanna lay you down in my arms
Heart is covered in mercury sand
I'm gonna lay it down when the last beat ends

Run for your life
One last time
I'm gonna lay you down when the last beat ends

Run for your life
Run

08. Mute God

Perdition and denial
Through shattered eyes
Blind and brittle they deride

Recurring stranger light
Unease inside
Rays fallen for the rising

Bring the children home
Pandemonium
A tiny flame inside my hand
A vulnerable sorcerer
Never ending acid rain
Rise up confront the pain
Hands drilling through the heart
The core is getting dark

So long
Mute god

The sacred tree of life
Burns from all sides
Someday fire ends and smoke abides

You can touch me now
I'll never know
I'll be here to see inside the void

And I'm gonna stay forever to save my world
Protect the world of sorcerers
Forever the lightning shears the heart
It's never getting dark

This world stops descending
Forever be alive

Come with flames
With fires
It's never getting dark

09. Earth Hour

It's digging underground
And beyond the stars it burns
Veil by veil
One by one
Before the curtain falls

Here is the earth hour
Here is the center of the storm
We're singing while the world burns
Saturnalia unfolds

It comes in silent steps
And it's crying in our sleeps
See when the lights aflame
The immensity of things

Here is the earth hour
Here is the center of the storm
We're singing while the world burns
Saturnalia unfolds
We're singing while the world burns
Lutes are dying away unheard

Purging sounds of fires
Piercing lights grow higher
All of us are taken
All that was is gone
