1. RUMOURS ABOUT ANGELS

I will plaster all you mortals with my dominating guts
I will torment revelations - I did never ask for much
I will taste the detonation while the geminis go wild
I'll absorb the human sigh, eradicate your dormant lie

Does it suck your breasts for milk, golden honey, dressed in silk
Does it feel your patient care in your dreadful glassy stare
Or does it feel your true emotions in its scars and bruises burn
Do you really think your lies will tear open cloudy skies?

Feel my fingers in your wound while my eyes ascend the gloom
Questions wasting all my time - I see your eyes detesting mine
Sick of a life you never had, e.dead.motion, you look so sad
I could care less if I'd like - I let you go into the night

Is my ignorance my fate, or is my love distorted hate
Is deliverance my mate or am I sleeping while awake
Is this place that we call home adorned by devastating foam
Am I mortal, am I god - Am I brighter than you thought?

I will never beg for mercy - I will never kiss your feet
I will never ask forgiveness and all of that I want to keep !
I will guide the blind in darkness though I cannot see myself
I will whisper in a deaf ear while I know you cannot speak

And I hear rumours about angels


2. BUTTERFLY : DANCE !

Is this your true world definition ,?
You cannot help, where your help is not wanted
You cannot escape from your reality
Give me more of your salvation

Hello ? ..are you listening to me ?
Hello ? ..why don't you speak a word to me ?

I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past

Let me feel your recognition
I can taste the way you look
I guess it was the right decision
My thoughts are my bible, that's by what I live

You live your life between these worlds
Color twists around your body
You and I got lost in rainbows
Our dreams were never made to last

Es gibt Menschen, die begleiten Dich ein Leben lang
Andere verweilen nur ein wenig
Orientierungslos, auf der Suche
Heimatlos, immer noch
Hoffnungsvoll, immer noch, mit diesem schlendernden Gang
Kein Weg scheint zu weit, wenn man Deinen Worten lauscht
Doch der nachste Schritt ist schier unmoglich, sagst Du
Die Wege teilen sich
Du gehst nach Norden und er geht nach Suden
Du in schwarz, er in weib
Er strauchelt fort, verschwindet am Horizont
Und Du stolzierst fort und bist doch immer prasent
Er ist weg, und Du hast es nicht einmal bemerkt...


3. MANKIND

(Survive)

Mankind is suffering a severe instability
My friend you know, I swear, this was never written
We are not alone, but we are left by ourselves
We thirst for water, we hunger for a bite to eat

(Survive)

What is this faith for ?
..If there is nothing to believe in ?
What is this world for ?
..If there is nothing to adore ?

I can feel the warmth of the dying sun upon my face
I can see the bloody circle diving into the horizon
Deeply in love with the gloom disappearing
To leave me on my own
What is it that I can do to make this moment last forever?
For mankind - this is mankind
Mankind - this is mankind

What is this world without you in it, without you giving it its colors ?
What is that feeling that conquers me once you are gone ?
I feel forgotten
How can I be so naive, so ignorant to think you really care
Watching the world around me change its ugly faces
Yes, this is mankind


4. WINTER SOULS

I would not dare to blame you
I wouldn't dare too much
I only ask for pity
So these faces feel your touch
Upon their skin...

My eyes see many faces
Many faces made of stone
I figure they are angels
All neglected from your thrown

Deserted as lifeform
Between heaven, between hell
Unkown to one another
They know your eyes betray their spell

Down from heaven where you hide
You have demented all your pride
O' give these faces holy glance
Back their monumental trance

Your anger and your rage still silent
As I provoke that weakness too
So beautiful, out of control
Your temper now is overwhelming

Is this the place you're born for ?
Is this the last frontier ?
Is this the world we fight for ?
Is this our sense of creed ?

Winter souls regain their powers
To multiply the pain in you
Winter souls greed to bear silence
To take away all life from you

And as I lay your head to sleep
Silence echoes in your greed


5. NO-BODY LEFT TO BLAME

Until you put your spell on me
I did not know - who you are!
A little incantation now
You hypnotize the crowd

According to you
No-body else does matter now
According to you
Nothing else does matter now

Your wings can spread around the world
Take all our sun away
Absorb the human pleasure dome
A lifetime in despair

I wonder how you lie to me
Without the use of words ?
I wonder why you came to me
Without a look into my eyes ?


6. CHEMICALS

Lost in words of anticipation
Lost in worlds of revelations
23 and 5 resulting
Equally absorbed their sigh

And I need my chemicals
I need your chemicals

Are my dreams gone ?
Are my words forgiven ?
Are my deeds undone ?
Am I now forgiven ?

The walls of this chamber
Were made to set you free
So soft, so clean
My friend, where have you been?

I'm a revolutionary
A christian fairy tale
I'm a missionary
A visionary anarchist

I'm a full moon fever
I'm a non-believer
I have hope and I regret
I accept and I neglect


7. BABYLON

It's kind of strange how
You put the blame away from you
I understand now
We were in danger of ourselves
What is our flesh for
If not to feel our mortal shell ?
What is our soul for
If not to know we never die ?

(Babylon)

I try to face now
What I did never understand
What are these words you speak ?
Why are they all unkown to me ?

Welcome to Babylon
The traitors' homes of nower days
Come feel my terror
Or watch the anger rise in me

You'd like to faint now
To fall asleep into my arms
Where is your fate now
The one you spoke of in my arms

What was this war for
If it is you who wins at last ?
What is your word for
If it is us who break the laws ?

Detest my vices
Watch the signs I've given you
I speak of silence
And fear the sound of human kind


8. COLORBLIND

Would you care for color if you were blind ?
Would you listen to my words if you could only see my lips move ?
You search the faces for a smile, but you can't see them with your eyes

Come to me,
Feel with me,
See with me,
This world has changed.....

The world has now forgotten you, for you have done that first
Would you rather listen to the wind ?
Would you rather search the stars for signs ?
For it is us you live with, and we have never ever closed our eyes

What do I need your comfort for ?
If there is no place to live..
Your angel cheeks are stained with blood
Your hand evoking fear in me..


9. PEOPLE WATCHER

Just like a hundred thousand snakes
You crawl around my legs
Without pride, a beggar for respect
How could you lose your self-respect ?

We see the signs and yes we learn from them
And still we never understand
Our hopes should not be yet alive
But gain more strength with every smile

We see the stars' eternal distance
As we reach out to take them home
Confused you speak of silence
As a scream ends in disguise

Your search for your excuses
One of hundreds of your tries
The past will gain your wisdom
The future through your lies

Lay down now all your weapons
To see the peace within your hands
We all move further towards nowhere
To understand where we belong

Confused I speak of silence
As you start screaming to be heard
You gave up responsibility
There is a reason to your life


10. DARKER

I'm bursting all your bubbles
I'm cold while you deceive
I don't care about your troubles
I pray to get some sleep

Define the state of matter
Declare your eyes the war
You should have known it better
But still you wanted more

Mystical, not physical
Is there faith enough for all these souls?
Hysterical, not logical
Is there room enough for all their shells?

Pale forces in fake environment
And biblical speeches so full of regret
Strange voices so full of agony
It sounds like it reaches deep into my head

Suffocate, deliberate
It is within, it is without
Gestures, eyes and invocations
It hides somewhere

Waiting - for he is yet to come...

I begged for answers all my life
Is it true crime to say the truth ?

This world is darker...
This life is darker...
...Darker than before.


11. DEAD SOULS DREAMING

And with these words you ask for justice ?
And do your deeds make you feel better ?
The sounds of voices echoes deep into the touch
Of my fingers, fragile, asking questions

You seemed like yourself..
Until you slaughtered,
Until you raped these feelings,
Until you couldn't tell apart,
What true and false is in your life,
What dream or what reality is in your sleep

And then you see them rising
Born into your sleep
Rising towards your horizon
Feel these
Dead souls dreaming
In your sleep

Last night I heard you speaking
Whisper in your sleep
You were talking about strangers
Longing for your dreams
