This is where forever opens
This is where all flesh is grass This the mask and this the virgin This is where it falls apart Holy mother, triple goddess Dream and death through blood evoke Through your womb we bleed and burn and now: Rise again Breaker of worlds So the seed is sown to reap and so the blood is sweet anew So intone the word not spoken Now the time to break the truce Ah! And the world splits apart and the essence flows free And whatever she gives I am ready to take For the keeper of the crossroads is the keeper of the keys; the one who stirs your silent dreams, the one who wakes the fear As she stands before you at the lake to lead you to the shore, she's the one who is the breaker, she's the one who waits no more Breaker of worlds |

On the eleventh day, he reached out his hand
and made the sign of parting, spoke the words of taking leave and of never going back To breathe the air of dreams To walk upon a path of bodies To know what carnal means To live the law of hate and cold flesh Wailing for the solace in a lie No echo here. No truth. No time To blind the eye to see To feed on every broken moment To kill and kill again To end it all while it's unfolding To know the only way: To love the beast and then to beg it to die from every wound Listen as the mourning herald sings the dirge to which we march in time Crawling naked 'neath the burning stars, sleeping beauty dries Never |

Where do you go?
I don't know Cold carbon air Breathing out filth Breathing in burning blue Nothing breaks me now Go! Let my hands go Go! (Today The hour on time The breathless second Another perfect view) (Today A contradiction that talks one way A blind, stuttering fool is healed I'm not quite finished) I am fire and reborn Go! (Today A mirror broke in ecstasy And desolation bled to death I've been forgiven) Go! On hands and knees Taking in all in one stride I have covered my own tracks and all falls into place We will all go |

Send him from this land, he's bleeding
A display of pain worn as a crown Are you strong? Are you worthy? Are you pure? Are you clean and wholesome? In his face the plea of mercy Like a child corroding to a man While the blood still flows he is enchanted Ruby red, the streak of hidden malice hides the smile Are you strong? Are you worthy? Are you pure? Are you clean and wholesome? Oh, there's cancer? Oh, there's mistrust? Burn and cut, burn and cut There's nothing There's nothing here There was nothing before You don't know this Life can take you far, but this is further Once the lie is in, will he prove worth it? Know (So we all give in) No defence will stand through pity Powerless, kneeling before the bleeding heart |

Head on pillow
Hand and mouth like dust that softly, softly falls Spirit and flesh, wait and see In time it all amounts to bone |

Turn, turn
Let the rosegrove burn Turn, turn Watch the flies and learn Turn, turn Grinding it down Turn, turn Make it go on Sleep tight, wait long Hold on, stay strong There is a beast within And there's no peace without I speak the lie as true And it has blinded you Sleep tight, wait long Hold on, stay strong Let the rosegrove burn Watch it all come down This is what I've earned Watch the flies and learn Thrown back in line (So now the war is on) Thrown back in line (And now devotion's done) Thrown back in line (So let revulsion on) And now the vultures come Sleep tight Wait long Hold on Stay strong Turn, turn Let the rosegrove burn Turn, turn Watch the flies and learn Turn |

Chamber of the mourner
Ashes of a morning mass Six feet of earth to lay On wooden home forever Chamber of the griever Hope of dawn cut away Bowing to defeat This time the path cut short Chamber of the sorrower Mausoleums closed in silence Wow given to fulfil Let no one stand between Chamber of the dead Pleading spirits to awaken Build the gate, brick on brick There will be another key |

A daring step
The waiting crowd A hungry child must learn to bow Yes, this is all the bitter truth The gritty sand beneath your feet The taste of failure on your mouth This is a game of hurt Yes, this is all the bitter truth Yes, this is cold reality This is what you have come to Yes, this is all the bitter truth Yes, every gesture was in vain This game is harsh and you have lost You know it all comes down to this: Pathetic lies and vanity The taste of sand inside your mouth A daring step The wanton smile A desperate man Tells desperate lies Yes, this is all the bitter truth The gritty sand beneath your feet The taste of failure on your mouth |
