Vanity/Nemesis
Heaven carries not What the soul would reap Growth of deception Lined between the weeps A thousand lusts luring in the heart A desire in our sleep Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leaps Pervading sceptres of fear An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow's light won't disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear

I'm sensing the paleness of lies No rest to caress their eyes In visions enthroning sleep A mistress of eternal weep Wastelands against the night Bound in chains, a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate my body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Ages of bleeding in vain Entrapped by the whine of the insane Civilization - a vision of deceit Misfits, emerged from the heat The violet dances fade Restless dreams of hate and a silent cry Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude Wastelands against the night Bound in chains a wish for light Wandering beneath my fate My body slowly pales Unleashed, with hands that cannot reach The screams of heaven and shores The sleep - sound of a shadowed search Foresee the wings of solitude The wings of solitude The wings of solitude

Burning in a hell made of my own Looking for the you I once knew Your love is hanging over me Like a big black cloud of misery Oh mother I beg of you to set me free Now, like the tempting snake of old She has seduced my very soul She took my rib she stole my heart And hid it in her bosom's warmth Oh mother hallowed be thy name For you give birth to us in pain Maybe I'm Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I'm Abel, maybe I'm not But as sure as hell I know that I'll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh woman of sorrow, you guide me on into caverns, where I do not belong Out of your womb, onto the earth Oh mother of my life, please give me birth Oh mother of pain, please let me go For you must reap what you have sown Maybe I'm Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I'm Abel, maybe I'm not But as sure as hell I know that I'll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother, my mother yes I know The name of my bride is sorrow Maybe I'm Adam with a paradise lost Or maybe I'm Abel, maybe I'm not But as sure as hell I know that I'll be Cain Wasting love and my life again Oh mother I know

So I send an SOS Semaphore myself Catch me falling finally Through the air and underground Everywhere this sound Screams whisper "I can’t breathe" I feel it in my bones Though I know I’m not alone You’re spinning far too far from me So cruel to be so kind Now I know I’ll always find This island earth a mystery As I stumble through the dark Dream lovers dream apart Starry eyed a vision rushes in Do I wonder or care My spirit’s bleeding God knows where A never ending stream I tried to love, tried to find My soul in shadows running blind Restless as the sea Via sidewalks through the haze Wandering as in a maze Lost in number time and space So near and yet so far Castaway as strangers are This island earth And you and me

Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Did we persist in misery and grief Tasting a glance of the bold A thousand days of fates untold And from the restless seas I'm born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind's trace Ruling the light, we gave our lonely hearts Addicted fiends, through weakened weeps and woes The sight of fear, trading in for faith Eternal thirst to lead the circling hate And from the restless seas I'm born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind's trace Traces of dew, eyes in disbelief Shattered at base, the lies that we breathe And from the restless seas I'm born Through pain And in the restless seas I drown Love in vain Cold embrace Regresses from mankind's trace ...

No more... Harassed Hearts Primeval wings of solitude The cross has saved the soil Traces given to sinister moods Cavity of hate Unborn faith, scorn beneath The quest for death Gold built the mortal feat Into the phallic tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear Infinite space No dreams of sleep of death Humane, cold embrace Concepts of might and reign The apocalyptic raids Shadows over the hearts beneath Calls that forever fade Their visions betrayed Into the Phallic Tantrum Stronghold of eternal fear Into the phallic tantrum Their only wish... to reappear

By masquerade of sleep madness ever lures Resting soul's rebirth, denying the depths of fear Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A thousand cries in pain, spread beneath the fall A kiss glowing above, feeding upon the heart Spells... on glory they ride from within Light, as they seed hate onto the path Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind A kiss or a whisper Floods of hate without relief for all sinister sleep Shadows of eternal belief Necropolis Built from mortal bones Death descends inside the darkened mind

Deep within my bleeding heart Stranded by the hold of fear Agony takes a final role Sipping the dew of tears Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs Surrender, dance and cry Their Tormented eyes perceive Grasps of fright, lusters crawl Tarnished grounds of faded beliefs Thorns and rites idols of false Tearing apart the skin of lust Forever still but never born Broken by the final quest Vanity, silent choir spreading lies Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs
Heaven and shores Beneath the death of the sun Suffering at will Slaves in the cavity of doom Wastelands without winds Cries cut through the lies The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain In darkened depths A vision of fear becomes as real Nursing the dead No love, life is grief Dare to escape The claws of sleep of death The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain No good, no cold Salvation we are praying for Days full of fear The silent eyes perceive The heat of the deserts Heart closes to my throat Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis Will death cleanse me of this Nemesis I taste the blood and all the pain
