Babylon Whores
Album • 1999
Tune on / Tune in / And drop out / Drenched in ye olde Teufelkunst / Licked from perdition's mouth / With steel beacons high / Against the blood red sky / The pitchforks sing the lullaby And I'll say / I wanna be alone just go away / And I'll say / I wanna be a star for just one day On Radio Werewolf Tune on / Tune in / And drop out / Come in Tango Omega / King Fear is on the dow / Up from the roof of the world / He plays our little lives / As LP's on 45 And I'll say / I wanna be alone just go away / And I'll say / I wanna be a star for just one day On Radio Werewolf The sleep of monsters produces reason And I'll say / There's gonna be the hell to pay / And I'll say / I wanna be a star for just one day On Radio Werewolf On turntables emerald and green / On sieges perilous 13 / Play twinkle twinkle little star / And I'll wonder what you are / Oh how we wonder / Just what we are

Ashen the world creates itself / Up the branches down the roots / Pecked at by birds / By worms gnawed / At the crossroads / By the graves among the rowan trees / Nailed white as ivory / With skulls that grin amidst the rot For strange are these woods to fare / Stranger the fruit they bear Oh hang me high / Upon that tree / For all the secrets to find me / As ravens' claws / As eagles' bills / As Wotan's eyes upon the hills / Oh ten I have of fingers fine / For all the evil's work in the night / Oh baby I will grow for you from a tree Burning with glory Given to trolls and ogre broods / Days will drown in twilight's gloom / Where black dogs howl / Pulling up mandragore / Chained to the ash forever more / Deaf to the world's grey roar / Digging up treasures vile and foul Eye for an eye for a rune / Drawing down the waning moon / Howled at by all wolves / Ensnared 'til the day of doom So hang me high / Upon that tree / For all the secrets to find me / As ravens' claws / As eagles' bills / As Wotan's eyes upon the hills / Oh ten I have of fingers fine / For all the evil's work in the night / Oh baby I will grow for you from a tree Burning with glory All crooks and ghouls who understand / Cherish the work of idle hands / All of the pages turned / All of the treasures yearned / All of the fingers burned Burning with Glory

All of the battles lost and won / All of the things we've said and done / Become the dark that wells beneath the floor / Lost in a world that I don't know Anymore Where no truth will set you free All of the lessons that we learned / All of the bridges that we burnt / Boons for a cruel, jealous god to trade / Lost in a world that slowly turned All insane Where no truth will set you free All beauty houses the heart of pain / Kissed by the evil / In good contained / And all truth's grown sad with ages taint / All of our charmed lives estranged Where no truth will set you free

Kissed by a snake / You will give birth to a worm / That eats into the small black hearts / Pumping poison as it turns / Eyed by a basilisk / You will get stoned / My love has serpents in her hair / She combs with a rake / And stares beyond Oh what is life but an open grave / What is today but tomorrow's yesterday / Hey / Pluck out the eye that offends thee / Raise hell or lower the heaven at least Yeah it's a skeleton farm Look in the abyss / And it looks up on you / In snake pit balanced are the scales / All souls damned versed in the truth / Devoured by sulphur / In the belly of wind / Monsters kill monsters / Who kill monsters / In the small hearts / That smile within Oh what is life but an open grave / What is today but tomorrow's yesterday / Hey / Pluck out the eye that offends thee / Raise hell or lower the heaven at least Yeah it's a skeleton farm

Well hail Caesar / Horses in the Senate / Where did the eagles fly / Back in the German woods ? Lost by the walking wounded / Fleeing the devils of the forest / Taken to graven idols / Down in their shrines beneath the ground Oh to behold the suns below A heart that used to house your love / I offer you below now / As once above A mirror for simple souls / That tend to stray away from the day / This maggot ridden horror /To sing you of summer's decay Oh to behold the suns below
Apples and silver bear the trees of paradise / Visions of heaven to unfold before our eyes / Where cherry orchards bloom eternal summer's night / Upon a sarcen stone we dreamed / Our sweet old lies And into the dreams bewitched / We'd hear the haunting song / That beckoned us to taste / Of the dark of unripe dawn If pride doth go before the fall / The summer never was / Promises gilded and hollow / No longer do bind us / All knowing and all wise We'll exit Eden / By the sunrise As pestilence falls down as rain upon our heads / Still paved with gold become the roads that we now tread / Covered with sores and drunk with plain mortality / We have no thing so dear we couldn't / Part with and leave And if plague and hail they say / May purge a righteous man / Tears wept in anger / Shall be wiped away / By the Devil's hand If pride doth go before the fall / The summer never was / Promises gilded and hollow / No longer do bind us / All knowing and all wise We'll exit Eden / By the sunrise (All sacred secrets and serpents / Grow old and tangled in shadows coiled / Under bridges over Alpheus stream / Carrying their dust on to the sea)

Under the sea / Dead cities in the dark / Dreaming themselves to be / Alive once more / And in darkened rooms / As vaulted tombs / We hear them call / As sea devours land / Towers yield to the sand Oh shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage / As a disease on all fours risen from sea / Yea shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage / And that which never was shall always be And I would see the world revolve / Around the crosses tips / Fleeing the sun / The vulture / Swooping down on a carrion / Laughing into the nothingness / That we flee / In mortal fear Oh shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage / As a disease on all fours risen from sea / Yea shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage / And that which never was shall always be For what is eternity / But a shoreless sea / One eternal day / That sees us come and move away

Oh my old friend / How did we get so far so soon / Chasing dragons in the white of the map / In the blue of your veins Maybe we'd played / Our little games / In the dark of the world / For a bit too long / And lost our souls And with death's release / The knowledge comes / It was the life all along / We'd been afraid of / In carriage golden / Drawn by horses blind / I saw you leave this mortal life Oh my old friend / We grew up boys with a shadow of a man / And neither one of us was afraid to die / Had a cyclops asked For had we not / Buried a graveyard / Of screamings ghosts / With a bitter pride / And called it life And all tomorrow's games / Are just a memory / Of all the things you dub too common / In carriage golden / Drawn by horses blind / I saw you leave this mortal life Oh do not want too bad / Or the price will be too dear / And do not want too much / Or you're not ready to let go of / And do not judge / For what do you know / Of a life with nothing to gain / And everything left to lose In carriage golden / Drawn by horses blind / I saw you leave this mortal life

Pray tell me / Wise Trevrizent / Are not the good ones all dead / In shallow graves / In distant lands / Banished from castles of the Grail Into the mansions of the Sun / Where Doom is housed in golden rooms / In amber dreaming / Kept by silent halls / Like all crystal / There is to fall In girun i mus nocte et consuminur igni ingirunimusnocteetconsuminurigni In girun i mus nocte et consuminur igni Pray tell me / Wise Trevrizent / Is not our life like our love / Treasured and clung to with tooth and nail / Yet uncomplete until let go of Into the mansions of the Sun / Where Doom is housed in golden rooms / In amber dreaming / Kept by silent halls / Like all crystal / There is to fall
