Passion
Some are born to wander blind And some are born to endless night But not this one! Feeling our youth go through our fingers Like a razor to the bone Let's burn the dry brush of our hearts And fill them with song once more Deserts without mirages Generations without rain Let's shoot like rockets through the sky And leave this World in flames

To sow seeds in barren Fields When there's no more Fertile ground To bear the fragile Worlds within Through the ruined one That surrounds Break the shackles of My past Give me precious Things that do not last (and succor for the Homeless ones Bring fire down on Babylon) Heal And destroy Lift me up Bring it down And we may suffer And we must die And we may suffer And we may die Come weary child: You've touched the Stars but you did not move them Now it's time to cut Out your heart And be a god in the Kingdom of the dead Or to raise your face And make them move And we may suffer And you may die Yes, you will Suffer And you're going to Die So sing now: I'll be your eyes if You won't see I'll be your heart if You can't feel Now we'll see who Burns the brightest The brightest of them All Send me their sons And prodigal daughters Render up to me Their lost and stray Give lust and life To our dances, flight to our fancies Give me courage for My passions and my pain And this will be my Art: to feel alive Break my heart Sell my body or my Soul Spite their laws Fight the odds Smite the gods Starve myself Freeze myself Burn myself Kill myself Kill myself To feel... Nail me to you I will ride you Like a nightmare I will drive you Past all love or pain or fear I will escort you To the end Take me inside you I'll be the master In your mirror I will drive you Until everything else disappears I'll be with you to The end Everything you want To feel Everything you want To taste

For you who choose bondage, the world is a cage Paralyzed under their gaze These scraps of self, they're not enough But they're all that I could steal It's easier for you, you don't fucking feel Do you subjugate our nightmares, bend them to their ends And they offer to share the dividends? A place in the shadow of the great guillotine And are you blessed, in these days of lifelessness? I'm choking on the rim of your righteousness Staring through the bars at the worlds we'll never know Lost in the city, the beaten crowds Those around you gagged and bound Smothered, caught gasping in Panoptikon, Panoptikon Defined by confines, condemned to live these lives No secrets safe from their eyes But what goes on in our minds goes on in your hearts Denied all creation, destruction is our bitter art We'll slip through the cracks, we're not afraid For every bent knee too shall break We'll dance in the shadow of the great guillotine That does its rhythmic work On each and every unbowed head One by one by one Judgment, are you the sacred and the clean? One day we'll rise to mount the skies And tear your gods' towers down Freedom in the death rows of this machine No freedom here, living in fear Until every wheel stops turning Until every channel goes dead Until every light goes out Until every city is burning Then we'll see some freedom

He survived, but his destiny burned off in the blast Disillusion tore off his wings, and when he stepped outside A childhood's end, and the moon was so bright It looked like a white hole punched through the cape of night But from that moment forth, a star was just a star And nothing more And the morning came, and the sun did rise But he was trapped in the corridors where it spent the night And he could not, or he would not hear our cries So take everything, break everything Fake everything, fuck everything It's all nothing if you want, but that's not what I want I'd give anything to see you feel again once more Stand alone, beside you Listening for a sign of life from inside of you Suffering some gift of God Pursuing, hunting you Life is sour when you hit the ground Moments wasted, loves gone foul However, sweet the fruit, the prickly skin, the bitter core And nausea for desert So fuck everything, take everything Fake everything, break everything When you've been broken, when you've brought low You want to smash everything, those who still care most of all And I can see the witches, burning in your eyes But they're not the ones who sold you these lies We're not the ones who bound your hands And turned the spears in your side May the kings all drown in the blood of their conquests And the flags all die at the tops of their poles May the gluttons be impaled upon the ribs of the starving And the priests all sell their souls May the dreamers all awaken in a world that is empty May the lovers betray and be betrayed (Bring me hearts) May the poets all choke on their own sweet lies (I'll break them) And all bow before their fates (Give me poisons) May the seekers wander lost through the valleys and the deserts (I'll take them If I could) And lay down to sleep upon stones (If I could) May the sick flourish and the healthy be afflicted (Trade this ache) And may rats fight over the bones (For indifference) May hate rule pitilessly over a world of the damned (All fucked up) Where the rivers cease to run (With bitterness) Let the sun set forever on this broken heartland Let the kingdom come (All fucked up) Yeah take everything, fake everything Break everything, fuck everything Heart as black as the sun One the day that will come when it never ever rises again And where do you go when you've lose your way Inside, and everywhere you turn it's all the same Where do you go when there's nowhere to go You froze in your tracks, something broke and you gave up And it makes me want to cry An ocean of tears to flow through these filthy streets Stained with so many years Of smothered hopes and desires denied The faceless masses, paralyzed To drown all we are, all we've ever been Better cease to exist than to endure like this And set you free You and all your kind To be free in death, if not in life But the rest is secrets, silence now If night has fallen, sleep well The rest is silence, secrets now If night has fallen, sleep well, sleep well

Severed, bowed, soul-deviled, and you'll find Don't think I've ever got it right Another threshold of pain, like every inch of my life All this means nothing, through there Ours is to suffer Wanted more than this world could hold In the shadow of a beauty That we could never, ever, hold

Black bitter milk we drink in toast to the dawn In huddled silence as a long night falls We write of love upon the bodies of our dead Swallow pride and venom for our daily bread, Duende Wash your conscience in the tears of men who rape Trace your pleasures in the outlines of pain You speak of laws and rights in this day and age? I don't believe in anything I can't taste, Duende And tonight the losers sleep, or lie awake and gnaw their wrists Crippled dancers, beaten heroes, squandered artists Refugees from those wretched lands Where our dreams died like lovers in our hands While outside in that new age Lost children and devils play On the very doorsteps of our homes New deities sworn in, consuming from without and from within Make ready ten billion beds in hell For we're all coming soon And in this noise, the dreadful silence of tongues Tied by words never spoken, songs left unsung Vows that were bent rather than broken Locked chambers that will never open And none on this earth will ever get what they want And that is beautiful, or close enough And we'll clutch our regrets, shut out the rest Cut out the hearts from our chests, and we move Eyes shut, silent, hand in hand, towards a broken promised land When those before you lost their heads upon the block Or sold themselves into the services of the snakes Reshape the world in their own image And all the others turn their eyes away We will set out with a fire in our hearts With a desire that cannot be bought To snatch the morning from the jaws of the night To take the dead and bring them back to life, Duende No words, no touch, no sleep, no trust No hope, no faith, no resting place From childhood schemes on stranger's floors To sickbeds, cells and foreign shores Homeless, heartless, restless, selfless Lifeless, loveless, less and less and less And if the morning comes late this time That fickle sun will rise to find My fingers clutched tight around the husks Of dreams I built from dust Finally dead, dead in the land of the dead And they will call it suicide As I scream for just one finger of dawn And it's coming on all horizons Like gathering clouds Bar the doors to shut it out But put your ear to your chest You will hear in your own breast Hoof beats, closing in This world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place This world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And there's nothing pure in this place) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And there's nothing clean in this place) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And there's nothing sure in this place) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And there's nothing free in this place) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And in this world there is nothing safe) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And in this world there is nothing fair) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And nothing in this world is true) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (This world that I can't bear) Sometimes I feel this world is an evil place (And the morning came late) This world is an evil place, this world is an evil place This world is an evil place, this world is an evil place This world is an evil place, this world is an evil place This world is an evil place, this world is an evil place I'll spit it back in your face, last-born of an evil race We're all evil in this place, just fucking give me a taste

The car is on fire and there's no one at the wheel And no one tries to put on the brakes at all We're trapped in the belly of this sick machine The radiator smoking, there's no air to breathe And no one tries to put on the brakes at all One by one like stars from the sky they fell And everyone turned their backs, wondering to themselves I'm on a strange journey I didn't choose to take Where I'm going I don't want to think But no one tries to put on the brakes at all Your final breath will be an eastern wind To blow through the valley of death that we've carved in this land We're accomplices all, it's all beyond our control We're so innocent when the hammer falls And nobody tries, nobody tries, no one even fucking tries Accelerating through industrial haze Past the death camps and the marketplace, we've lost our way I hope we burn up in the wreckage Rather than live another day in vain In a world without frontiers, we're served our just desserts Just deserts, in burning thirst And no one tries to put out the flames at all And I said kiss me, you're beautiful These are truly the last days

Dance around the flames of a world spinning down Dance in the flames of a world burning down Dance Poison overcast moon, watch over us in these last days As we descend to the lowest circle
