Solipsism

Welcome to the abode of restless dreams inside a device
Where they enter your brain, your mind,
the soul and those selfish eyes.
Every time you will stay, every time you feel
Did your brain ever condone to this
Did you ever fall in your dream?
We all fall in to an abyss
And our mother said with her mind’s eye
Every time you played it down
We all know the way within hindsight
But every time you fade away
And our mother said with her mind’s eye
Every time you played it down
We all know the way within hindsight
But every time you fade away
Every little thought
Every little breath you take
Every little mind to keep hold of me
Close the door
And I don’t feel that time you got
And the world upon it
Like a fly to the web and all you got
Did you ever see through all of it?
She finally came too and out of the blue
But she had lost her mind
We run the world, we are the brains
This time we can destroy it all
Every time you sleep
Every time you think
Every time you dined
Were you so cold, when you were old?
Did you taste those angel wings?
And our mother said with her mind’s eye
They were all suffering lovers.
I lost my mind but did you see?
Every time they faded away.

Am I Pretty, Yet?
03:33
|
|||
Snake eyes got to roll and charge for a fee
You got your little wide thighs and your move is a beat
I don’t believe in it all but deep down what I say
nothing comes down to it on when or where I’ll have my play
I see a vision of the youth on how it is today
Line up and shoot a camera, we’ll smile away
Got to be perfect like a nymphomaniac, baby
Not sure if that’s called fame or infamy
I better not drown, better not drown
in myself
I better not drown, better not drown
In myself
I didn’t mean to be, but
All you belittled me
And you deceived your way
Am I pretty yet
I thought you believed in me
Are you satisfied yet?
Am I a slave to you?
Every time we met
Am I pretty, yet
Am I pretty, yet
Am I pretty, yet
Do you think I’m pretty, yet?
Don’t go feeding tired
Hungry animals
They’ll count your number
Straight deep down, down
Wait till you see what I’ve got in store
Look at your face, when you are deceiving me
Like a little billboard to the other billboard to the other, baby
Such a pretty little thing
When you’re playing with me
Are you deceiving?
All those times we met
Did you believe in me?
All those times you said
Will you belong to me?
Every time we met
Am I pretty, yet
Am I pretty, yet
Am I pretty, yet
Do you think I’m pretty, yet?

Walpurgisnacht
04:13
|
|||
Carve a sigil into your chest
Place a red rose on your wrist
Open the door, to the inferno
But you won’t see it right away
Cause the devil wears drag
And wants to be a hag
Pitch forks were in denial
Walpurgisnacht
And the women will take off their hats
Underneath their skirts are lies
They’ll ride their broomsticks
Into the night
And the women will take off their hats
Underneath their skirts are lies
They’ll ride their broomsticks
Into the night, the Witch
The Witch
The Witch
The Witch
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
The Black cats, got jazz hands
The preacher man, got himself a boy
Hold your head down, and pray
It’ll be half way till the devils night
Dance of the Sabbath
And a banquet of worms
Around a pit of flames
Walpurgisnacht
And she will take off her hat
Underneath her skirt is a knife
She’ll ride her broomstick
Into the night, the witch
The Witch
The Witch
The Witch

The Alchemist

Pay a toll to the
Pay a toll to the alchemist
And give your money all away
Pay a toll to the alchemist
Burn your money, burn it away
Pay a toll to the alchemist
And give your money all away
Pay a toll to the alchemist
Burn your money, burn it away
You’re connected but you’re not connecting
You’re disconnected
You’re an object to the objects and they own you
When you expire they’ll still be here
Materialize, sympathize, lies
Fail to see the trail, the snake that hides,
You don’t have to be talented to be famous
Just talk a lot of shit and look pretty,
React and follow, shallow and hollow
Slaves stuck in a digital world
You ain’t entitled to shit
Turn your shit to gold
Preach it to the old
Pay a toll to the alchemist
Pay a toll to the alchemist
The alchemist
Burn it away

Kill Your Ego
04:18
|
|||
You are not the center of the universe
And neither am I!
The world doesn’t revolve around you
And your fickle pretentious mind
Kill your ego
Or let it kill you
Thrill your ego
To let it consume you
It’s a foreign disease
The mask of vanity
Freud’s got a killer smile
You’re a king of nothing but…
KING OF SHIT
You want to be a martyr
You want to be a martyr
You want to be a martyr
And sell that soul for nothing
Kill your ego
Or let it kill you
Thrill your ego
To let it consume you
Kill your ego
KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL KILL KILL IT!
Or so they say
Fake it 'til you make it
Fake it 'til you make it
But you are jaded and obsolete
You are jaded and obsolete
OBSOLETE
Kill your ego
Or let it kill you
Thrill your ego
To let it consume you
KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL KILL KILL IT!
The World doesn’t revolve around you
The World doesn’t revolve around you

Part 1: Pale Fire
Saddened hearts that dreamed away
Threatened by a sea of emptiness
A lover’s quarrel between the stars
The passion of flames that danced today
Chime of failure, calm before, the storm
The mending of love, enticing sin
The calling of each and other wounds
Worlds apart, yearning to consume
Tears of lost and the need for it
Connected as one, united forever
That soul will burn, engulf the world
Pale fire and the Corpse of Love
The breath of fire will fade away
Reach to the hand, play for the dead
The breath of fire will fade away
Reach to the hand, play for the dead
The breath of life will take it away
Preach to the damned, pray to the dead
The breath of life will take it away
Preach to the damned
Together as one
Together as one
Together as one
We’ll watch the world
Burn away
Burn
Burn
Burn
And the fire will burn
Pale Fire
Pale Fire
Part 2: The Corpse of Love
The corpse of love gave his soul away
Just to die in vain.
Do we all die alone
With a hearts last beat
Does love fade away
Even in death?
Will we be forever
In the valley of hinnom
Can death fall in love
When two become one
Will the flames stay alight
When the body has gone
He loves her so
He loves her so
Even in death

She will melt your soul
And lead you to a beautiful death
You’ll worship her from the grave
And in your dreams she will be
A flame that burns so bright
Then fades away in to the night
Pale and mysterious
She’ll make you weak and delirious
Tongue tied, like a serpent in a knot
She’s a Mistress of the Golden Dawn
You’ll belong to her and
She’ll consume your soul, tonight
She’s a Goddess of the Black moon
The Goddess of the Black moon
(Spoken Word)
I had a dream
And oh, what a dream it was.
There I saw my Goddess, standing right in front of me
With that dark raven like hair, luscious lips and mesmerizing eyes
Oh how she would make all men and women weak at their knees
She wore a tight PVC dress with a whip in one hand and chains in the other.
She commanded me to come to her
Without hesitation my legs moved, like I was under her wicked, seductive spell
Once close to her, I became so spellbound and in a state so incoherent by the scent of her body
I adored her mere presence
My sweet queen oh my sweet queen
She grabbed me by the throat, she put a collar on and
Demanded me to get down on my knees
She then lent down to me and whispered into my ear
“You are mine, you’re mine forever
And your soul will belong to me”
I had then awoke, bound in place, gagged and staring up at my goddess
The view from the bottom and in between those thighs
Oh what a glorious sight...
With a wicked smile and a deviant stare, she then,
(Maniacal laughter)
Fade to black….
She’s a Goddess of the black moon
The Goddess of the black moon
She was only a dream

Identity Crisis
07:04
|

I’ll wear this mask to protect me from,
Keep me safe from the hurt back then.
I’ll take these drugs to, keep me numb
A drink to bottle, up all that pain
And these scars leave me
Needing to feel again
I couldn’t feel that day
For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game
While my mask begins to crack
Underneath are these tears of pain
I am not myself
For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game
While my mask begins to crack
Underneath are these tears of pain
I am not myself
And these scars leave me
Needing to feel again
I couldn’t feel that day
I’ve lost that person I used to be
If only I could wake from this nightmare
The monster in me
Is killing me, is killing me
The monster in me is killing me
My mind was a wasteland, fear and despair
The bleakness and the black, vortex of nothing
Hopelessness and all alone
While strapped to a hospital bed
For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game
While my mask begins to crack
Underneath are these tears of pain
I am not myself
This is not me
This is not
This is not me
This is not
I was warned, to never let it control me
(This is not you, this is not you)
But words fade away as time goes on
Like shadows do, in the darkness.
For 7 long years I’ve been playing this game
While my mask begins to crack
Underneath are these tears of pain
I am not myself
Will you be that angel to take me away
Or will you be a devil and stay in my head.
Will you be that angel to take me away
Or will you be a devil and stay in my head.
This is not me

Sick World
06:55
|
|||
You feed the innocent, a cereal of lies
With sprinkles of sugar and flies,
Sheep do what the shepherd tells them
He’s got a wall that they got to climb up
Gods got a gun but they held the trigger
Mother Nature has been raped, by a hallelujah Fuckfest
And the idiots played a Trump card from her womb
And now the world is over.
Peel it all off, the insects are crawling
It’s a sick world today
And hold your head down and pray
As we all lay asleep in despair
As we all lay down to die….
It’s a sick, sick world
It’s a sick world today
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Is this the way it ends?
Sick world
Sick world
