Sentinel
03:03
|
|||
|
Something's happening in the bell tower
It's not supposed to chime in ungodly hours
you've been watching for so long you forgot to how to see
this loneliness can dishevel you
When the city dreams
beyond its means
Sentinel of love and correction
in a sea of doubt and detention
We need your guiding hand although it trembles
this is the time for cabals of the truthfuls
If you ask what's my religion
I'm a monarchist in conviction
Words are made of rust
speak them now before they turn to dust
Sentinel of love and correction
in a sea of doubt and detention

Pet Deaths
03:18
|
|||
|
He was part of the family
he ate from our plates
and slept in our beds
But the doom book had its say
they took him to canine heaven
that's at the bottom of heaven
Pet deaths - could live without them
but now that I found them
can't get rid of them
She was gold as the Atlantis
her fins were long and fair
I named her Pocahontas
The veterinarian said she's rare
she'll live thirty years
but she breathed her last on Sunday
Pet deaths - could live without them
but now that I found them
can't get rid of them
A blind girl from Varna
in this world she had one friend
her dear beloved turtle
The turtle spoke in foreign tongues
of future cities bright and vegan
but it was mangled by a vagrant
for fun
Pet deaths - could live without them
but now that I found them
can't get rid of them

Crucifer
03:15
|
|||
|
You made disease made the breeze
made the seas and the fleas
and the dusk that hangs from our foreheads
and the burst at the seams
With a wish with a wave or a blink
you grant will and until you decide
it will go on and on
But me
what is your plan for me?
I want to know
what is your plan for me?
Was I meant to be just a crucifer?
You made the snake bite its tale
made a flood from a gust of hail
cast a rupture on some horizon
that our measures fail to scale
With a wish with a wave or a blink
you grant will and until you decide
it will go on and on
But me
what is your plan for me?
I want to know
what is your plan for me?
Was I meant to be just a crucifer?

Snowman
04:08
|
|||
|
You caught me sailin’ on a stranger's boat
but the only thing I was thinking of is you
So sure I was thinking about this and that
but the only thing on my mind was how to get to you
Don't be afraid
this distant shore will bring me to you
Snowman, snowman you melt so fast
but you know this heart knows how to make this snowman last
Snowman, snowman you were made for me
and you know what God has made is very hard to see
Don't be afraid
this distant shore will bring me to you
Why you ask the snow, about where to go?
Even for an avalanche you have to take your chance
Don't be afraid
this distant shore will bring me to you

Betrothal
03:00
|
|||
|
Sometimes I don't need an answer
it's enough let live and die
but most often times I wonder
or just waitin' on the line
for my turn to turn the wheel of destination
fix a ride
Cut the flower for your loved one
hesitation did the kill
here in this forbidden garden
when you steal you run until
out of breath you face the walls that can't be climbed
to the place where the search lights can't reach
Father, father, mercy please, this betrothal let it be
Father, father set us free, this betrothal let it be

The Danish Prince
03:57
|
|||
|
I'm in love with a Danish prince whose name I can't remember
you who remembers his name please don't you take him away
my hands are tired of reaching out in the darkness
And I know that it's late for me
Sometimes you don't know why there's a sign in the sky
and it moves like a flame
But much to my surprise he opened up my eyes
I'm in love with a Danish prince whose name I can't remember
you who remembers his name please don't you take him away
my hands are tired of reaching out in the darkness
And I know that he waits for me
Sometimes you don't know why there's a sign in the sky
and it moves like a flame
But much to my surprise he opened up my eyes
I'm in love with a Danish prince whose name I can't remember
you who remembers his name please don't you take him away
my hands are tired of reaching out in the darkness

Keep on Runnin' Away
04:54
|
|||
|
I'm tired of livin' without you
of lookin' inside me to find you
Moreover, by baby…
A night race for love's constitution
of suicide and soft division
Moreover, my baby, I need you
I will never stop, no, no, no
You keep on runnin' away from me
All the powers of this world
will never make me surrender
I've been living for you girl
you know I am the contender
Soldiers at the gates of love
no one can steal the thunder
An omen has entered my vision
of cinder blocks and head collision
Moreover, my baby, I need you
I will never stop, no, no, no
You keep on runnin' away from me

Morning Star
02:52
|
|||
|
Solemn queen from the pantheon of weaponry
crown of spikes grace your bald-pated sanctuary
painting brush of the fourteenth century
forming landscapes with color sanguinary
morning star, arid bud of profanity
lifeless sphere turning real
touch the enemy
thrusting forthright in fatal intimacy
belabor like a maven of butchery
Ladylike in the wake of your might
subsequently you are what you like
sparing no one that comes near your sight
you are one you are bright
you are right for the fight
morning star

Enamel
02:19
|
|||
|
This fragile creature requires special treatment
a body that's been endowed
with savage bruises, stitches
If you dare lay a hand on Enamel
I'll turn your dreary life to hell
and see your face deformed
with eyes that cease to see the light
Signified by the cigarette burns of your life
I was born and raised inside the bulwarks
abandoned and discarded
like my brothers the retorted
Entangled hands through the debris
what I first thought that it was meat
it was little Enamel
and that merkin changed my life forever
Signified by the cigarette burns of your life
Don't forget that Lucifer once had wings

Nocturnal Digressions
Pale white moon and spider love
is all I ask from you
Flights in fright the dark invite
and make the night their own
Hush-a-by painted bird
you're at the hearth of his arms
Wanton whirls of winged distress
disperse when you undress
Saber eyes that pierce inside
black pearls of your design
Hush-a-by painted bird
you're at the hearth of his arms
