Own World

LYRICS
YOUR OWN WORLD
When I think I own it
this time and space
When I think I own it
I make a fool of myself
and I'm afraid
I might be wrong
The wake-up call
keeps my defenses high
as I hear the mother's cry
and I realize
I'm in my own world
obsessed with MYSELF
With Love,
You're in your own world
When I think I own it
this time and space
and you're afraid
you might be wrong
The wake-up call
keeps my defenses high
as I hear the mother's cry
And you realize
YOU HAVE been selfish
obsessed with yourself
and with your own world
“INSANITY!
Obsessed with myself
and with my own world”
“You're in your own world”
“My reflexes wasting...
...my body wasting”

Guilty

Are you ready
for such great pain
who will be close to me
when the time comes - - -
are you willing to do
do whatever it takes
are you ready
for such great pain
who will be close to me - - -
when the time comes
Silent screaming
from such great pain
hear that voice calling
there's no greater fear
for I am guilty, guilty
forget me not
Time is passing, you know
grab it by the horns
are you willing to resign and die
for we're all guilty, guilty
forget me not
I'll there walking back and forth
in this or that room
merging thoughts
about a journey
real or seen
in a dream.
Or the present dark and grey
Raising Prayers
in some sort of song
Who will be close to ME
when the time comes
Who will be close to YOU
when the time comes
I'll be marching
til I mold
in this or that world
merging thoughts
from a journey
real or seen
in a dream
I'll be walking back and forth
raising prayers
in some sort of song
Who will be close to me
when the time comes
Who will be close to you
when your time comes

LYRICS
THE HUMAN MUSEUM
As long as I live
In constant awareness
it shall all be gone
The Human Museum
As long as you live
In constant awareness
The Beauty and the Wrong
And see what is more
Dear Lords of War
Dear Lords of Power
You all shall die
Dear Human Kind
and Laughter, Laughter
We all shall know
know our Power
Our Role!
You'll have been dead
all life long
AND NEVER YOU WILL
HAVE MADE THAT JUMP
INTO THE ABYSS OF AWARENESS
AND NEVER YOU WILL HAVE
SOARED IN CONTEMPLATION
OF BEAUTY IN DECADENCE
Forgive me for I have sinned!
Is that the case?
Maybe that's what it meant...
The Human Museum
remember,
as long as you live
remember
There's no glamour song
in all that we've done
No far-sighted Love
No collective Soul
The Beauty and the Wrong
Let's see what is more!
The Human Museum
As long as we live
in constant awareness
of all that we've done
There's no glamour song
that we can overturn
no collective soul
no far-sighted Love
There's no glamour song
it shall all be gone
There's no glamour song!

Caress The Scar

LYRICS
CARESS THE SCAR
We made that choice
AFRAID to face
and find the truth
and touch the scar
SUBLIME, ETERNAL
The Beauty of Impossible Love
The Beauty of Impossible Love
ETERNAL, SUBLIME
I'm witness to your solitude
You're witness to my passing through
here
And climb to the top
the view, and I decompose
and fill, that void, The absence that bond,
and please accept the challenge
And see, what we've done
it shows, right here on our skin,
it tells our story,
your skin shows yours
Caress the scar
and analyze
To save what we have,
what we can
and climb to the top
the view, and no one around
to save what we have,
Afraid, aware,
ashamed, again
We DROWN in our poison
again and again
and climb to the top
and see there's no one around
to save what we have, what we have
or STAND at the top
and see that we are not alone
afraid, alone, aware, alone
Caress the scar

LYRICS
ESCAPE
A mist is assailing me
shaking me wildly
a fear is
possessing me
If I could use
could use my body
my body to tell this tale
Then all shall
seem forgotten
need to escape
from my own land
And all shall
be forgotten
need to escape
from my own self
Disorientation
Alienation
Cold Waves
Lost at Sea
Cold Waves
Wanted Escape
Wanted the End

Nine

LYRICS
NINE
Nine hours spent
Nine months ago
Nine hours left
Life, Time
Nine Lives
Wisdom and Fear
Laughter and Tears
So Many drowned
Some are abandoned
Nine hours spent
Nine months ago
Nine in a limbo
Only Nine
Not any wit
nor any charm
when I fall ill
then I'm done
That is the goal
That is survival
that is the fight
that I will lead
I will conduct
as a warrior
though now I'm hurt
now I'm weak
Then I shall RISE
once and again
not in a limbo
only nine
Then I shall FIGHT
once and again though only nine hours
only NINE!
Nine hours spent
nine months ago
Only Nine seconds
Nine Seconds left!

LYRICS
KILLING
May you rot in hell!
I don't have, I don't have
anything else to wish you
Cuz I'm wild, I'm controlled,
I'm an animal that's been hurt
I wanna bite, wanna fight
wanna see you feel as I do.
I'll be damned, see your pain
face to face, with your own worse fear
So you understand!
You own my thoughts, own my lymph
on your legs, all your red guts hang
Without head, move along,
like all others in that spew and spill
there's your body, unaware
walking around, like a zombie
hold your head by its hair
swinging it like a lantern
Now you understand!
And your head looks at us
weeping in all its despair
What I wish, I don't know,
even needed to go and ask Dante
I can't tell, nor describe,
why I believe in his Inferno.
Wyvern
Malebranche's Claws
One thing is, you think you're wise
something else, you really are
You own my thoughts, own my lymph
on your legs all your red guts hang
hold your head by its hair
swinging it like a lantern
there's your body, unaware
walking around, like a zombie
and your head looks at us
weeping in all its despair
Now you understand!
May you rot in hell!

Intimacy

LYRICS
INTIMACY
Intimacy
your most fragile self
exposed to the trusted one
the loved one
Showing images of Self
communicates “I'm here”,
“I'm alive”, “I exist”
Words fail to manifest
who I am, without sound
Identity is a puzzle
that you build
tile by tile
some are virtual
some are bodies
of some kind
Wonder if you're even real
do I venture out and meet you
body and all
in our planetary sound
(our sort of sound)
Teach what you do best
and earn your Self respect
I pave the road to exorcise your fear
And if you ever asked me
was it worth the pain
I'd say, of course it was,
of course it was
Everything YOU do for the cause,
every step YOU take
so to last in time
Everything WE do for the cause
every step WE take
so to last in time.
So many lost words in etherland
they never seem to be heard,
but if you choose the lesser evil
if you choose the lesser evil
soon or later good shall rise
Intimacy

LYRICS
A CURE
Define The Cure
Maybe
there is a Cure
Playing, might be
our Cure,
don't you know?
Archaeology, deciphering
what evil is
infected raised
just to be cured?
Write the Dates
Record the Words
go back in time
and find the answer is
A Cure
Define.Magic.Rituals.Singing!
I'm singing to the full moon and dancing
I'm dancing in the Wind and I'm rising
You're staring at all that is still dear to you
Guiding you blindly, Love
And we're telling you the Story of a Lifetime
We're walking in the wild night on tight rope
Drawing Symbols
right here in this Space
Following blindly though
Playing!
Playing might be
our cure, don't you know
A Cure
