CNN of Worms
the prophet had a weak heart / singing 'bout a woman giving birth
cameras on, cameras off / it's on the news today

JIHAD-e-ho, JIHAD-e-hi

can of worms, flickering can of words

it's on the news today, network competition
red, green, blue, dedicated vision
dogma chanted through hypnotising colours
commercial junk made to kill the hours

now he's reporting from a heaven near you
headline, headline, headline, headline, empty headline
tumbling down the stream, pencil, notebook, dream
open up, serene

Headless
let myself down again / unintended words
took nothing from the past /rewind and repeat
backed into a corner / clutching the blade
soon it's all too late / remove myself

insane, I'm torn apart / sane, I'm torn apart

one by one they shun me / my faults exposed
know I can turn it round / they distrust
too much pain already / administered by me
again I blame the ghost I keep inside

that's me in the mirror / that's me on the floor
why do I differ so / I search myself
now a cold wind blows in this dark room
will I ever leave here / close my eyes

faFnir enDjinn
in my dreams I cut it out / everything hurts
I will never be clean again / everything hurts

everything hurts / every day hurts / yet another day
cut the pain

forgive me / can you forgive me / it's so confusing

my words injured you / your hands dropped / empty tea-cup
in my dreams / I cut it out
I will never be clean again / never be clean again
everything hurts / every day hurts
it's another day / every day hurts
no tears left / I will never be clean
everything hurts / I cut it out
deeper, deeper / let's go deeper
everything hurts / every day hurts
just another day / every day hurts

Human Equation
still drinking heavily, sweet taste of power
the glass is half-full, no more happy hour
the pain is true and high beyond all expectations
it seems to end it all

feeling numb, hurt inside, beaten senseless
feed them poetry, empty and pretentious
your penance is a cup full of poison
it seems to end it all

we'll pay the price, bring freedom back
just look around, what's lost is found
the time is now, send death a smile
accept your fate and stand your ground

fail to sleep, half-awake, mind in motion
my soul is screaming, longing for the potion
nocturnal fantasies crave all attention
it seems to end it all

tumbling down, into the void, loose my grip
beyond control, long before the slip
into the nothingness, diminishing desire
this seems to end it all

Under the Gun
nowhere to hide / the ink has dried
you agreed to the covenant / no time for fear
you signed
now death is a ride away
reach the sky / clad in steel
you're going down in flames
you'll get your name / on a tag
last sleep in a plastic bag

take action / launch the mission
join the party of the imbecile
raise your fist for law and order
the mind suffocates under your gun

oh so righteous / religious asshole
the system's going down
you fucking hicks / waving flags
fear of freedom / burning books
there's no god above man / fool the masses into ignorance
cannibalize on their minds / grow fat on their innocence

forced to follow / right hand path
no alternatives / there's no free will
fatalist / no ambition
watching the world go by
breaking free / from our bondage
realize that we're ruled by the weak
revolution / upcoming battle
you see, you are fighting yourself


Red Moon
send your help down the upper sphere
the angels sing / they bless your spear
a magic wand transforms the world
glass in the sand / shepherd your herd

red moon / burning oil
black sky / dead soil

drop your rain for everyone
burning chariot / so nice and hot
weep your tears / red like gold
although it's warm / they quiver

a prophecy / so heavenly
aim your bow in this holy war
raise your sword on the metal cross
oh why o Lord have you forsaken me

send your help / red moon
drop your rain / burning oil
raise your sword / black sky
holy war / dead soil

Flesh Mirror
in your eyes I see myself / in my eyes I see you
in her face I see myself / we're the same you and me

in her eyes I see myself / in my face I see her
we're the same / you and me
we're the same

in your eyes I see myself / in my eyes I see you
in her face I see myself / we're the same

in your pain I feel myself / in my eyes I see her
we're the same / you and me
we're the same

First Stoned
brazen girls in chains and leather
taste like candy, black and sweet
I go white hot, red all over
feeling faint, get off my feet
crack the shell, remove distortion
empty, hollow, all dried up
never, ever stop to grieve
choose between Lilith and Eve

there's something in the night
hiding from the light
there's something in the light
keeping out of sight

down on my back, legs apart,
pushing, sweating, break my heart
hit me with your thunderstick
work me until I get sick
moaning, groaning, left alone
pounding heart turned to stone
keep your secrets under covers
pain sensations, polychrome lovers

now, it's dark and really late
politicians fornicate
slipping mickeys to the poor
count the horsemen, 1, 5, 4
we get bread and circus games
that's enough, corrupt our souls
If you never peek outside
you'll never know what they hide
you'll never know what they try to hide

K.A.D.O.
evil lurks beneath the ice / cosmos calls, it's time to rise
a cancer spreads below the sea / reaching out for you and me
the end has long since begun / once they're here, too late to run
laws of faith become undone / far older than the burning sun

consumed by dark desire / apocalyptic fire
thousands of thousands years / a starless cold empire

Deep One atrocity / a threat felt subconsciously
pungent smell in the air / getting closer, getting near
horrors you can't abide / terrors of the eventide
reality will twist and turn as the seas begin to burn

they have no need for reason / no salvation! desperation!
pray for a swift demise / no compassion! pure aggression!
they will tear our world apart / fast progression! total infection!
once they leave their deep sea trench / no hope, emptiness

Somnium ex Machina
who can you trust when everyone plays along
a media charade / get up, stay straight
lies in the papers / lies on the screen
justice's a pipe dream / the truth's too obscene

lies and delusion / pay what you owe
total annihilation / reap what you sow
lies and delusion / pay what you owe
swift retaliation / reap what you sow

end the game / stop and break free
stuck in the slow lane / nod and agree
the green whip will lash you again
the ruling class, are they to blame
you must raise up, you must take charge
the fight is yours, open the flood gates

point the finger / throw  your stones
play the blame game / bitch and moan
it's not the rules / it's not the laws
it's not morality / that is the cause
that you are stuck in a rut / look inside and find the source

Yellow Wallpaper
what is one to do when no one takes you by the hand
this nervous condition / shadows play across the wall
in certain lights I can see a different shade
the pattern crawls / the pattern calls

why must I be the one that has to suffocate
why must I linger / every moment filled with
lies, remove the lies / lies, see the lies

beyond the lies / the truth is written in her face
a formless figure / at the edge of vision
skulking, hiding / in this solemn, sleepy place
a lurid orange / a sickly sulphur tint

why must I stay / everything's a mystery
mental chains / every moment filled with
lies, remove the lies / lies, see the lies

Behind the pattern the shapes grow clearer every day
It's like a bad dream / she is standing on the road
shake the bars / shake it hard in the moonlight
yellow walls / soon I will break out

unblinking eyes / follow every move I make
she advances´/ every moment filled with
lies, see through the lies / lies, see the lies

everything will be OK / every wall will decay
