Through Holes Shine the Stars
Mouth burning with unspoken words Tongues of fire lashing out My thirst for vengeance must be quenched Secret fountain, flow The chalice It fills the empty holes The chalice Of what this cup will hold Eyes pierce my skin and leave me bare Shadows close in Inside, a dream is born An eclipse to birth a star And I drink From that vessel deep My ego is consumed Reach into the pool and pluck my heart The chalice It fills the empty holes Thе chalice Of what this cup will hold The blood, it flows etеrnal Flooding the empty holes Pour yourself over me See what this cup can hold And when you bleed beside me We will have a single soul Open up and see What this cup will hold

The air is heavy with the scent The suffocating scent Of roses damned in their strength Of a nature gone mad The same nature That dreamt up snakes and rats and pearls Our nature that now is nigh In darkness it shines Is now bright day This flesh that must plough on Merely because It thinks it has spirit Jubilation sparkles in the air While these animals expire in the cold Oh, to battle for life For answers and meaning We reach for extinction Draw down the sky To dеsiccate the heavеns Murder the future Must we follow with our bleeding feet The sculpture of the gods' promised country? Crawling worms that lick the dirt For just one glimpse of what it is to be holy Oh, to battle for life For answers and meaning We reach for extinction Draw down the sky To desiccate the heavens Murder the future

Under the surface we toil day and night To stave off the cold, working in the mines Above, the planet sleeps for a thousand years Glaciers cover the grass, the forests and the oceans Our dreams hint at another life Crippled, shackled wrath At last the image is clear, salvation Mother, spread your wings Buried fortress walls are cracking Through holes they whisper Lies, lies, lies, filthy little lies Wake up, little childrеn Tomorrow you will rise Mount the siegе from within My suckling newborn Who stagger through the night Keep the wheel turning Plough through to the surface Overtake the world Our dreams hint at another life Crippled, shackled wrath At last the image is clear, salvation Mother, spread your wings This new Dark Age will make a beautiful grave

We sat in the ruins of a city and a time I had brought the nightshade, you had gathered bones around Come join me, love, in a banquet of the gods And in seven years, your skin will shine like stars Why are we here, I wondered Foul things abandoned to fight a war against dust Why are we here, I wondered Foul frail things, homesick for another world The lights had flickered, our fingers on the switches While hungering for anything that could appeasе our appetites Bleeding pigs werе screaming and the bushes were still burning Axes worked relentlessly at grinding down living things That was when you said to the corpses at your feet Survival can't be all there is, all there is to dream We all cling to the floor, to be swept away by eternity This endless slithering of every flatworm to carry on Why are we here, I wonder Foul things abandoned to fight a war against dust Why are we here, I wonder Foul frail things, homesick for another world Foul frail things, homesick for another world The grinding of teeth and the pleading, please Meaningless yearning Bicker over scraps on the withered grass Keep the wheels turning Naked hungry apes Commit the same mistakes Barking at the dawn Will we never learn? Crawling fleshy worms We must plough on Why are we here, I wonder Foul things abandoned to fight a war against dust Why are we here, I wonder Foul frail things, homesick for another world

It will begin with a single torch Weary, weak and famished since birth Near-extinguished embers lie forgotten and alone Then a spark to reignite the hunger for a burning world A wildfire of wretched, forgotten lights Show the path ahead Illuminate the night From one home to the next one, the fires are kindled now A world of dried-out promises is easy food for blazing hearts Wild eyes and hungry spirits, a flaming sеa arises Crushing flame from below will consumе the liars' throne Forever to live on From the ashes desire shall grow This domain of crushing hope Becomes our shaper's furnace It will begin with a single torch Weary, weak and famished since birth Near-extinguished embers lie forgotten and alone Then a spark to reignite the hunger for a burning world A wildfire of wretched, forgotten lights Show the path ahead Illuminate the night

Deeper blades to pierce the tissue of a wall of skin A flicker of sun shines through Rosy, rotten looking-glass, spy the little galaxies The secret is buried deep within the flesh The blood we shed will not only be our own Clawing in for a way to flee And if we cut but an inch too deep The floodgates open to the sea of blades The architects of tomorrow built With these gloomy strongholds, walls and ramparts, a fortress But they built a prison planet And in a world of cages, the jailer is the prisoner’s captive The blood we shed will not only be our own Clawing in for a way to flee And if we cut but an inch too deep The floodgates open to the sea of blades

The river flows by my house, we hear the distant howl It comes from the sea and goes up into the hills When I was just a child, I knew I would lose it all Where my sister swims and good children drown Frost on the leaves in the garden of our youth We are lost in the waters of time The snowflakes on the trees reveal to me the truth I am lost in the waters of time While we were poor we never needed more Invincible, we were together, yet I yearned The winters wear on, gnaw at our heart, I'm freezing I cried across the ice on the lake And now it is gone And now you are gone And now it is gone Frost on the leaves in the garden of our youth We are lost in the waters of time The snowflakes on the trees reveal to me the truth I am lost in the waters of time Why do you long? Why must you strive? Thirsting for what you can't reach Holed up with the last of my kin, the winds kiss our skin The river is dry, through holes shine the stars As I write these words, tears fill my eyes Eighteen years gone by, I missed so much Frost on the leaves in the garden of our youth We are lost in the waters of time The snowflakes on the trees reveal to me the truth I am lost in the waters of time

I thirst for vision in this barren desert I will see death in your blank faces Scratch now the fabric of the world Drink from the waters of my dreams There is no crime I have not committed I will know of things that cannot be named And will I be a river that cannot be tamed I will taste the waters of the future In words we perish Oh, what gentle violence Oh, what gentle violence This sun, it casts no shadow Let it peel off my hide Let it peel off my hide Shed the skin that rots within I accept this new life
