Tiamat
Album • 2012
Emily took to flight On see-through wings of white Over the seven seas careened In beauty yet unseen A withered rose in bloom A blooming rose of doom Scattered all around For the heavens to abound And like the sweetest cream With loveliness extreme Emily went to play On that sacred day One love in red who loves darkness One love in white who loves darkness One love in black who loves darkness One love supreme who loves darkness One little butterfly who loves darkness One tear to cry who loves darkness One billion angels love darkness 'Cause even God loves darkness Emily went to play When gold turned into clay The morning drained the night Of all beauty left in sight And soaked in reality Of not much more to see She disappeared into the haze In her own peculiar ways And like the sweetest cream With loveliness extreme Emily went to play On that sacred day One love in red who loves darkness One love in white who loves darkness One love in black who loves darkness One love supreme who loves darkness One little butterfly who loves darkness One tear to cry who loves darkness One billion angels love darkness ‘Cause even God loves darkness

Green star Sirius Dribbling over the lake The stars have gone so far on their road Yet we're awake Without a sound The new young year comes in And is halfway over the lake We must begin again This love so full of hate Has hurt us so We lie side by side Moored but no Let me get up And wash quite clean Of this hate So green The great star goes I'm washed quite clean Quite clean of it all But e'en So cold, so cold and clean Now the hate is gone It is all no good I'm chilled to the bone So cold, so cold and clean Now the hate is gone It is all no good I'm chilled to the bone Now the hate is gone There is nothing left I am pure like bone Of all feeling bereft

You passed out but now you’re back But all the windows are painted black A few more minutes of your shame ‘Cause this is my game I would do anything for you Shiva’s soul is coming through Anything you ask me to... do... to you... I would do! Don’t you dare to dim the lights? I’ve already done what you dreamt last night A few more minutes of your blame To enter my game I would do anything for you Shiva’s soul is coming through Anything you ask me to... do... to you... I would do! Let the seven deadly sins Resurrect what lies within A few more minutes in the flames That is my game I would do anything for you Shiva’s soul is coming through Anything you ask me to... do... to you... I would do!

You’re an illusion in a world of disillusion Gold made from a distant, ancient fusion You’re the crown of creation as we know it But given just a bit more rope and you’ll blow it I might exaggerate to say this city’s burning But when you’re sleeping safe and sound the world’s still turning The trivialities are there to entertain you To cozily stop thinking ‘bout what they do Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the cracked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don’t fuck with my brain Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the cracked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don’t fuck with my brain All wars start in rooms where big men meet But are always fought and lost or won on the street No one’s never gonna start a revolution from bed Put your theories to practice and you’ll wind up dead You’ve got the freedom to choose what you wanna see But the bottom in you is the bottom in me The rock might be thrown from many different heights But always falls to the same floor through dimmed lights Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the cracked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don’t fuck with my brain Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the cracked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don’t fuck with my brain Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the cracked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don’t fuck with my brain Throw your demons down the well Where once the brightest angel fell Make your wishes, put your spell Don’t fuck with my hell

In Hamburg suburbia With a girl from Serbia With all God's crystal methedrine And a train to take me back to Berlin All was spoken, all was done And a little Swedish lady came along I punched a few more holes in my card of living But I forgot about forgiving I might have been to Buda or Pest But not upon your chest The Bible was right All rivers turned red And I'm still not in bed The crystal fumes, the soothing song Until another big wave come along The sign on the river bed, that says That everything is dead, everything is dead... I tried so hard to make it right With plenty of drink and streetfight The morning always shone anew And somewhere in there were you Now we're somewhere out on the North Sea On our way back to Germany From Genesis to Exodus From Kamara up to Olympiados From Prenzlauer Berg to Aristotelous Square From a Hilton in Paris to anywhere... I had to leave it all behind To find some peace of mind The diamonds tooth will cut you loose At any time you choose And the demon king Is giving in As soon as his soul stop selling When everything was said and done A little Greek beauty came along...

The times they’re a changing All heavens shall fall At the end of the day... They mean nothing at all I hear the call for revolution And you’re not part of our solution I won’t shut my mouth no more My heart won’t never be ignored – like before I never demonstrated Always loved, never hated It doesn’t need to be debated ‘Cause my hate was just belated – but awaited ...Can you hear me?... ...Can you hear me?... On a 42 inch plasma screen I watch the tears of Jesus Crying out all gods are dead and hacked into little pieces Your empty words... Sway through the cirrus At the end of the day... You’ve got nothing on us We’re approved by the weather gods And all the others share our blood Though I don’t even speak the language I can surely feel the hellish anguish Go ahead and throw the first stone And suck the kingdom to the bone Keep on and criticize us And awake the gods on Olympus for us ...Can you hear me?... ...Can you hear me?... On a 42 inch plasma screen I watch the tears of Jesus Crying out all gods are dead and hacked into little pieces Have no fear Never care Always dare Never fail We shall prevail This is who we are A conscious for war A conscious for war Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Look outside the window Baby everything will be just fine In just a little moment The dark is gone and the sun will start to shine And all the clouds of grey, they are not yours So please let me see you smile again You are my only friend And I want you to be happy again I know what you’ve been through And I know what has to come But please don’t try to face it all alone ‘Cause you are my only friend You are my only friend I am here beside you now to help you and to guide you to the light Today my darling little birds are singing and the sun is shining bright And all the clouds of grey, they are not yours So please let me see you smile again You are my only friend I want you to be happy again I know what you’ve been through And I know what has to come But please don’t try to face it alone ‘Cause you are my only friend You are my only friend Look beyond these corridors and the darkness in your soul I am here to drag you up from that empty hole Try to look beyond all the sad things in this world There will be more wars and deaths before all flags are furled You are my only friend You are my only friend You are my only friend You are my only friend

Your blood is cold as ice in the summer And you’re steaming hot in the winter You lived your life on Baphomet’s throne And you are so much like me You hide away from the light And that’s how it begins Forget the sunshine for awhile And dance with me into night Celebrate the thunder and lightning Raise your glasses high to the thunder and lightning Thank God for the thunder and lightning Celebrate tonight Now smoke is going down And snow is falling outside Through lasers, stroboscopes I see your face in there You hide away from the light And that’s how it begins Forget the sunshine for awhile And dance with me into night Celebrate the thunder and lightning Raise your glasses high to the thunder and lightning Thank God for the thunder and lightning Celebrate tonight Through rain and stormy weather With black boots of leather You’re the flame, you’re the fire Fully equipped with dark desires You hide away from the light And that’s how it begins Forget the sunshine for awhile And dance with me into night Celebrate the thunder and lightning Raise your glasses high to the thunder and lightning Thank God for the thunder and lightning Celebrate tonight The rain, the dusk, the dirt, the dark And the thunder and lightning To the south and the north and the east and the west For the thunder and lightning Thank God for the flood and the darkness in our blood And for the thunder and lightning Celebrate tonight!

Feet don't fail me now Take me to the finish line All my heart, it breaks every step that I take But I'm hoping that the gates, They'll tell me that you're mine Walking through the city streets Is it by mistake or design? I feel so alone on a Friday night Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you're mine It's like I told you honey Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough I don't know why Keep making me laugh, Let's go get high The road is long, we carry on Try to have fun in the meantime Come and take a walk on the wild side Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain You like your girls insane Choose your last words This is the last time Cause you and I, we were born to die

I woke up early this morning when columns of night went pale white The shades of faith disappeared and the sky above you were no longer blue When did our moon cease to bleed When shalt the columns be freed To bring back our gold and to bring back the red of sun To bring back our gold and to bring back the red of sun The red of the morning sun One part of crystal oxygen Two parts of glycerine Three parts of cold spring water To bring back the four river daughters Five steps out of the black room With six six six of gloom, leaving Seven sea shells on the shore Whisper eight nine ten and I wanna hear more I looked through the prism when colour went away and faded into grey And the sun was still shining in the morning but pale white, so white Is this all we get? Is this there is?

Where the river runs to black I take the schoolbooks from your pack Plastics, wire and your kiss The breath of eternity on your lips In the crowded marketplace I drift from face to face I hold my breath and close my eyes I hold my breath and close my eyes And I wait for paradise And I wait for paradise The Virginia hills have gone to brown Another day, another sun goin' down I visit you in another dream I visit you in another dream I reach and feel your hair Your smell lingers in the air I brush your cheek with my fingertips I taste the void upon your lips And I wait for paradise And I wait for paradise I search for you on the other side Where the river runs clean and wide Up to my heart the waters rise Up to my heart the waters rise I sink 'neath the river cool and clear Drifting down I disappear I see you on the other side I search for the peace in your eyes But they're as empty as paradise They're as empty as paradise I break above the waves I feel the sun upon my face

The marriage has gone to my head The wedding trumpets are dead Replaced by a static noise So loud that I can't hear my own voice Will those signs lead me out of here Well, just take me somwhere To the planes where angels sing Trough the chime and the clattering For what it's worth the truth might hurt you There is a little you can do When shadows fall I will desert you Then that's what you will do For what it's worth the truth might hurt you And with a tear of morning dew... My temples born anew Lead me inside Lead me inside Lead me inside out of the cold Let me inside Feel me inside When the seed is sown Our love's dead by dawn And as the day begins The sun is soothing my skin And I am divided I am divided For love I have to say That all of this time I waited for someone like you Your are my dream Your are my dream Your are my dream

I gave you my love Though crystallized I sent you a rose with Nevermore So many years So many hours And only thistles on my shore For all that it’s worth The blood on my hands Is the blood of divinities And all that is lost Sound or unsound Only bonds between you and me If I go will you follow Me through the cracks and hollows And I would be your Cain If you would be here now The Mother-of-Pearl Handcrafted by God You’re the tower they built to reach the sky A White Falcon beauty My mark on your skin Follow me down the stairs when we die Your soul is in heaven Your body in hell It doesn’t matter much to me In the night of the unborn Sound or obscene Only bonds between you and me Blessed be our Lady Nuit Guide us to Ra-Hoor-Khuit In your night we find shelter Before the Helter Skelter
