Still Life

(lies... lies... lies... lies...)
Still life was in me
The awful nights,
the streak of it...
Am I dreaming I'm awake?
The smell and second sight...
We're born again,
like shadows, outside...
(time... time... time... time...)

Xodus

Exit rites, new altered states
In the arena of light-
we welcome your fate.
Let the dead carry the dead
Pyre for the flames, embers of life
In the wilderness remain
        Exodus...
        Exodus... reborn.
Your army of life-
watch it all go up in flames
left to die... again
fear is mine.
Morning comes as lights-
burn out my eyes
Is this place a safe one?
As we come in from the night...
alive.
        Exodus... your eyes are pale.
        Exodus... your eyes have changed.
        Exodus...
        Exodus... reborn.

Shine

Mirror, mirror:
This is the place
where love is broken down
Barely free, as I watch you now.
Misery; seems so cold out...
Misery; or am I dead now?
        Shine your light on me
        Shine...
        Shine, awaken me
        Shine...
        Shine for all your suffering
        Shine... shine...
My face now breaks againt the glass
the winter here, it seems to last
Mirror, what they say?
Misery, hear me...
        (chorus)
Bow before decade's end
Man of fortune, Man of shame
She's gonna reach for the hearts of all of you
I know her eyes are true...
They're afraid of her,
they're afraid of what she brings
And I know no more
there are fears that often...
And I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I will bring her down
Lord, I'm bound to her
I could raise her now,
but I can't bare to lose her
No, I'm not afraid
No, I'm not afraid...
        I'm freezing, I'm waiting
        All winter, the season
        Asleep now, I wait here
        Awaken- I can't let go
        The winter, the winter...
        the winter...
        the winter...
        the winter...
She's the end, is this beginning?
        (the winter...)
Is this the end of the rest, now?
        (I can't let go)
You look away, I can't hold her...
        (the winter...)
Winter without pain, seems so beautiful
        (the winter...)
We're not afraid of the ways she brings
no, I'm not afraid of the way
she shines.

Penetration

Endymion, medical soft
nothing here is real- last forever
We shine like gods- new body, new blood
the fire that I feel; of my kill
visions...
        penetrating you
        penetrating you
        penetrating you
        ...look in
Ziarahs are all burning ahead
illuminating ways I've not dreamed before
Eternal Tyr invited me in
I see images of you- burned forever
can't contain...
        penetrating you
        ...generating me
        penetrating you
        ...look in
listen right now, or my entrance won't be-
and I can't look in
and I can't look back
No I can't stop now
black out...
listen... now
        penetrating you
        penetrating me
        penetrating you
        ...again.

Melt
(The catching of the butterfly)

As she crawls through my hands,
Arise, I think I've found me...
better... not...
the features she sees dream
Oh, forgive me...
Now have your place with God
innocence, give me Hell.
Of the passions that sear and destroy us,
This subtle fire, this secret flame.
Torture by desire,
transformation from flesh to spirit.
Lie here...
There's a stillness between the light and me,
nothing but dreams and decay
and the angel whose wings are my lamentation,
all just melt away.
Melt away...

Venus Decomposing

From many years, I have become betrayor
of these gracious war's destruction
We are two souls in our own separate times
As we reach out and hold your breath for life.
Who has sent an angel for our requiem?
Slaughterhouse religion and the burning sun.
Liars, devotees of thier lying age
I see Venus decomposing here in front of me-
close to me.
Hell hallucinates as your fucked up land.
My dreams reflect your worst again.
What a way to go...
Take your world...
Wipe away the world.
Your eyes... your words... your faith...
you burn so close to me
Fear is (losing control)
Fear is (losing your life)
Fear is (taking your soul)
Fear is...
you...
are...
mine.
she feels... still warm
as the room grows colder
suffer in dreams away from your heart
reasons for my world rushing by
Know my name.
No invocation called me-
as I reached her from inside,
love could have killed her just the same.
Know my name.
Dancing, took your face
Dancing, took your words
Dancing, took your name...
Your eyes... your words... your faith...
it burns too close to me.
Fear is losing control.
Fear is losing your life.
Fear is taking your soul.
Fear is...
you...
are...
mine.

Pazuzu
(Black Rain)

A crown, earth bound
raining it
down...
Black is the rain under blackened skies.
Resurrection day- an antichrist
        Black rain- let it come down
        Black rain- we are come now
        Black rain... black rain...
I was seen at heart, a crucifyer
we enter in a world of fucking hypocrites and liars
Jesus at the gate, now- a man made a god
Sorrow for Satan, the priests like dogs
nobody remembers the bending of our minds
Pray for today...
Tomorrow, you die.
A crown, earth bound
let it rain
rain...
once more.
Still falls the rain, that is the law of the land
black is our lust, blind is the force behind it
Rain, it eats the heart
it's born from above
to break the mind
of the maddening skies
No one can escape now,
no one alive.
Nothing remains here,
the Cold Man arrives.
The feeling... the feeling...
the fear of life.
The feeling... no feeling...
no fear of life.
Your screams of pain were born
the fears of gods and war
Where's the rain? Like blood it pours...
The feeling... the feeling...
the fear of life.
The feeling... no feeling...
no fear of life.
Still the rain, it falls
downward, men...
black is our loss, blacker than night.
The feeling... the feeling...
the fear of life.
The feeling, no feeling...
no fear of life.
Stoop not down to the dark, infested world
Where lies a faithless depth, fall and rise,
and Hades wrapped in clouds,
inviting, unwinding-
a black, ever rolling abyss
unluminous, formless, and void.

Zoon
(Parts I&II)(Saturation)

I've been waiting for you-
you're lonely.
I've been watching you
control me.
I'm here with you, you know-
no need to hide.
Lay your head in mine,
just close your eyes.
Welcome-
So, you came.
You're here with me, again.
Out of nowhere, with no name
I'll never, ever be the same.
I'm always with you,
when you fall asleep.

Show me, show me what it is...
what you're hiding from.
I know you, know who you are
by the fear in your heart.
Dust... when you awaken,
your eyes open, I bend you like a son.
You only feel, only feel me-
say your prayers.
say... say...
say... say...
Free your mind, reach inside-
peel away, come on show me....
(hear reach first feel first)
saturation
saturation
Only five strings awaken,
buried in your heart.
You're only skin,
you're only fear,
you're dead from the start.
say... say...
say... say...
free your mind, reach inside-
peel away,
close in.
say... say...
say... say...
(hear taste feel hear taste feel)
Now free your lust,
your lust for life...
your lust for cutting life.
You could have been,
you could have been...
The color of your anger
(your lust for life)
ends my world.
Let it all escape,
to reach inside-
forced it open wide.

Zoon
(Part III)(Wake World)

As we begin the end
let us close the wound this time, my friend.
We live together,
forever.
Every breath that you will take
I will be with you.
I'll be...
Perfect vision-
what's your pleasure?
And we're here again
lying naked in a perfect world
And we're here again
I can hardly see you
I will live again
until it hurts to be me.
say... say...
say... say...
What's your pleasure?
My name? My face? My spirit?
My name? My face? My spirit?
You need me,
right now.
This is hell, this is...
and I turn, lost completely.
So, this is life? Is this...
I can have your face
to live when it hurts to be me
My world... my world...
So, I will wait for you.
So, take control of you.

Coma

No more pain, no more feeling.
Let it endure forever,
those whose end it cannot be.
