Lo! Death has reared himself a throne In a strange city lying alone Lo! A strange town lying alone Death has reared himself a throne Far down in the West, Where the good, bad, worst and best Have gone to their eternal rest There, shrines and towers Death has reared himself a throne (Time-eaten towers and tremble not!) Resemble nothing that is ours Down, down in that town, shall settle hence, Hell, rising from its throne, No earthly moans, shall do it reverance. No rays from the Heaven coming down On the long night-time of that town; But light from out the lurid sea Streams up the turrets silently— Gleams up the pinnacles far and free— Up domes—up spires—up kingly halls— Up fanes—up Babylon-like walls— No swellings tell that winds may be, Upon some far-off happy seas— No heavings hint that winds have been On seas less hideously serene. But lo, a stir is in the air! The wave—there is a movement there! As if the towers had thrust aside, In slightly sinking, the dull tide— Aquiescently beneath the sky The melancholy waters lie The waves have now a redder glow— The hours are breathing faint and low— And when, amid no earthly moans, Down, down that town shall settle hence, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence. Down, down in that town, shall settle hence, Hell, rising from its throne, No earthly moans, shall do it reverence. There open fanes and gaping graves Yawn level with the luminous waves; But not the riches there that lie In each idol’s diamond eye— Not the gaily-jewelled dead Tempt the waters from their bed; So blend the turrets, shadows there That all seem pendulous in air, While from a tower in the town Death looks down. But lo, a stir is in the air! The waved now have a redder glow— The hours are breathing faint and low— And when amid no earthly moans, Down, down in that town, shall settle hence, Hell, rising from a thousand thrones, Shall do it reverence. Far down within the dim West. Where the good and bad the worst and the best Have gone to their eternal rest. Waves have now a red glow— Hours breathe low, no men moan—

You cannot make me feel guilty I dont give a shit about respect I wont join your moral masturbation Im the prodigal son gone off the tracks You cannot make me feel sorry I dont give a shit about your pride Im the cat piss on your carpet The last crushing thought before you die Dont fit in your picture Dont fit in your world Dont match all the lies you feed your kids Feel no loyalty This deal was made without me Sure i never signed it Your contracts dont apply to me I'll fuck your dog Do you still want to get along with me I'll rape your daughter Over the payment of asmall fee I'll fuck your dog Do you still want to get along with me I'll rape your daughter How much would you pay?

Pouring whiskey in dried-out bodies Coarsely hewn by wood and love Deep inside them smolders slowly Thick as yeast, green bitterness Helpless, their eyes are blind And all their thoughts are simple Their ears are deaf And all their songs are trivial Their loves have gone sour And all their looks are vacant Their food is foul The art they make lacks the challenge All their minds are empty All their thoughts are simple All their songs and books are trivial All their ears are deaf Birds who once flew with passion Now they're easily caught with bare hands Locked in cages, learning their lessons Bullets for the already-dead Tasteless, our tongues are dumb And all our speeches are hollow Our minds are numb And all our books are hollow Our lobes are sour And all our looks are vacant Our food is foul The art we make lacks the challenge All our minds are empty All our thoughts are simple All our songs and books are trivial All our looks are vacant Birds who once flew with passion Can easily be caught with bare hands Locked in cages, learning their lessons Bullets for the already-dead Can you still see The stars The Sky Then layers of grey? They're fading away... Can you still see the stars? It's hard to think of the ocean With the sweet stench of piss in your hair Morning air still invades every wallpaper cell Year after year after year All these years those walls were empty Curtains yellowed, now white of mold Lardy plaster, the paint is peeling From the ashtray: swathes of blue smoke Corrosive waters Black rain falls the seventh time Unyielding minds of coal Jaws open wide They changed the beds Yearly white sheets weeping like shrouds This is the chamber where their god spent his final hour Can you still the stars through layers of grey Or have the city lights taken their place? The stars are fading away away away away Eyes leap at the bait We march in circles under Jupiter's sway Eyes fall prey to the cheat One more surrender and we'll suffer defeat

Sick of the sun Corroded by the rain Stolen laurels in felted hair Worn faces that have traveled a long way Wet rags sticking to her body Bruised skin and sleepless eyes Grinning and cursing malevolent skies Strolling through hells Whipped through heaven Flirting with venomous snakes Raping angels Strolling through hells Whipped through heaven Dancing on desolate streets When the skies rip open Forgot his youth, but never her love Forgot all his plans with life Forgot the roof, but not the sky above Mending their clothes Licking their wounds Scratches from the corals on their backs Love bites from the kisses of shark attacks Strolling through hells Whipped through heaven Flirting with venomous snakes Raping angels Strolling through hells Whipped through heaven Dancing on desolate streets When the skies rip open You that were banned from heaven and hell Murderers that have suffered great pains Searching in oceans of absinthe The land where it is better to live Black clouds pour their acid load on spiteful unbowed heads And they are spitting it back

You're my fetish, my favorite toy Pierced with needles, I'm sure you'll enjoy Caged and hogtied, spanked and caned I'll always savor your grace in chains I will flog you to death can you feel the thrill I will make you eat shit and control your will I'm the master of the needle in your clit There's no easy way out, if you faint I'll get you back Mousetraps hanging from your nipples Saliva sliding down your chin Thumbtacks under your tortured knees The pain won't end, you'll never win I will flog you to death can you feel the thrill I will make you eat shit and control your will Since I cannot own you, I just want to kill I will hang you naked and watch your face go blue

Let them carry me away To any place that they have chosen for me One day I become the stream The stream that flows to the ocean The moment of peace Right before drowning The final release when I'm becoming one with the sea Whatever you do, you won't be saved Whatever you hope,. its an illusion Cause happiness can't be held in place There are no one-time-solve-all solutions There is no end As far as I see There is no future There's only now Just you and me... one with the ocean I have been searching all around the globe For a secret gate out of this world Only to find there's no such place The only peace I find is in constant change I have been searching all around the globe For a secret gate Out of this world Out of the cold Only to find there's no such gate

Mild rays of the sun will burn your eyes After dwelling in darkness for the rest of your life Mild rays of the sun will burn your eyes After dwelling in darkness Walking out of this cave This forlorn place that I used to call mine Now daylight burns my eyes The earth is shaking Times are changing The Clock is ticking Even down here we won't be secure The ceiling crumbles Over my warped head Giving way to broad daylight Am I already dead? Mild rays of the sun will burn your eyes After dwelling in darkness In this cave that I used to call mine Searching for shelter Right after the raid Cover up your eyes: the most human trait Don't want any change I prefer to stall Why can't we appreciate the gift of free fall Freedom is what scares us most of all We duck for cover in our shelters and caves Freedom is what scares us most of all And our horizon is never more than 2 steps away I'm about to faint So much to see So much to hear So much to dare So much to share So much to feel So much to steal So much to taste No time to waste My tongue is burning My eyes are watering My mind is turning I'm overloaded My limbs are aching My ears are bleeding System's collapsing I'm about to faint So much to do So much to try So much to lose Before we die So much to feel So much to steal So much to taste No time to waste My tongue is burning My eyes are watering System's collapsing I'm about to faint So much to feel So much to steal So much to taste No time to waste I'm about to FAINT! So much to feel So much to steal So much to taste No time to...

You sure know the rules...to turn all heads the menu, for this is all you show. for this is all you have to offer as she grows pale and old. this color was never you own ever since you bought the security of control. with ten feet of soil on you chest to choke any whiff of animation. bury all risks forever. walk on bloodred sands. soaked with the grief of coveting docile hands. crushed by your own rocks: and this is what you draw upon, feast on the purity of decaying organic matter. no need to cut off her wings. your words lay like stones in her stomach. she takes evrything, she's the queen of the food-chain,the last one to starve, the first one to bleed to oblivion. she's the queen of the food-chain: the last one to starve. the first one to bleed to oblivion.
