Solipsism 04:04
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.

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?

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

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

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

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
