Handmade Essence (lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff) At candlelight I've left the Buried Town My father has no might To keep me down Some foreign scents Infesting clammy shade Induce me to repent Of my gambade [Chorus] : I'm not a creature - I'm a doll ... with cold synthetic heart ... I'm not a living thing at all ... you're just a piece of art ... I've got a gear instead of soul Within a bulb I have a matter that can feel The bitter truth that strikes me with dismay Mechanic system , which supposed to be ideal I'm just an ugly brat of lab assay

Frozen Nile [lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff] The morning lights Annealing eyes with cold A tempest rides Defiling skies like mould I see a dream being wide-awake This world is running mad A crazy trick that I can't take When limbo lies ahead [ Chorus ] : I see the Nile entombed in a hyaline case So clear as a heavenly blaze The hoary bodies of hippos froze in glaze Sphinxes surmount with lacteal bays Resignedly standing at gaze When croak of perishing toads expires in haze Palm-trees have bowed to winds Falling to vitreous sands Wherries like pointed splints Stick out of stony bents Does anyone retrieve a key ? Which devilry we meet ? Uncanny scenes have seemed to me And overturned my creed

Hermetical Orchard [lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff] A sleepy loft attired in haze Subsiding in the maze Within a weedy bog Nocturnal flies knock on a pane A scintillating stain Embossed in lardy fog Behind an aluminic hatch ... Inside a shell Below a tumbledown thatch ... In blinded cell An alchemist with paly face Surrenders to grief Fumbling a spiritless leaf : All my efforts were in vain The dryads laugh at me again Again and again ... [ Chorus ] : Hermetical orchard, I fathered a grain And now I'm tortured The sprouts were slain The kiss of a day as a pestilent bane Empoisoned my harvest again ... Inquiring mind , unfailing dash He was a perfect marvel at the age of three Confident lad , he was too brash When tried to rise above the natural decree : Lode scobs for sound scapes Leaden blobs for mellow grapes Grey leaves came to life The trees got to thrive The master prevailed The elements failed Another day he cracked a slot And let the sunlight see A steely flowerpot With an artificial tree The nature didn't take his thing Unreal plants were fried Once and again the man made beings But every time he cried

Clue of a Scarecrow (lyrics by Lex Plotnikoff) November freeze Invaded the air Scratchy invisible breeze Prickles my shoulders and knees Trapping warmth everywhere The spine cracked again A straw hat has slipped off my noodle but who the hell cares ... For my pain When even the sparrows disdain ... The bug-bears Ten years have passed Since I was created With tatters of mouldy bast Pulled on rotten chips of a mast In a garden located A sack full of dust A Yule-log disfeatured with fire Two cans and a besom enlaced by the wire Corroded by venomous rust With a rag for attire The coveys of migrants pass out of sight All gnawers are sleeping The lowering clouds devour the light In the soul of the lonely fright Leaving me deep in the night Along with my weeping Friendless and reflective Monstrous and defective Broken and depressed Just a sickening cross between warder and jest That's who I am ! Humbled and dejected By the winterly thinking affected Bare and amusing Afflicted and musing inmate Dreaming to die in a grate
