Solace

I was sitting alone again, drinking, of course When Perdition the Elder sat down He had that weird smile Upon his face And that fiery look he has when he's about to initiate A somewhat unusual conversation; "I am but a plague..." he began to say "I have studied Locustism for years now I am like you, y'know; I am like you, y'know; Human, a useless vermin Human, a useless vermin Human, a useless vermin I am like you, y'know; Human, a useless vermin I am like you, y'know; Human, a vermin" He had a point, but still I felt like I had to reply with something, anything But he cut me right off; "A slight change of posture A loud muted noise from above And then came an ego That was to be our own downfall" He paused and stared at me for a moment That's when he suddenly pulled this huge Magnum from his jacket And forced the wretched thing into my mouth, saying; "I am giving you a choice: Kill yourself or someone you love..." "Kill yourself or someone you love Just kill yourself Kill yourself or someone you love Just kill yourself Kill yourself or someone you love Just kill yourself" "The cold sensation of your clenched teeth Around a gun barrel And the warm salty taste of your own tears That's my gift to you" "Play dead, and I'll play along, son Just play dead, and I'll play along, son Just play dead, and I'll play along, son Play dead"

A quick snap and that was it After we've shared a moment After I held you tight in my arms After I told you how beautiful you are How fucking beautiful you are And after I had one Too many whiskies and got emotional You've just experienced the cruel honesty of the now A look upon your careless virgin body from the upper balcony And I knew this flawless silver surface had to be mine I had a huge confirmation growing in my pants, pressing me to go on With the said deed Driven by a lust, close to animal instincts But since there's no disrespect, this is wrong and I'm sorry I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I reacted before any kind of conscience Would pollute the uniqueness of the event I can't help it, the sensation is too high The climax, is perfect After two weeks of legitimate abstinence It had to be settled somehow? Yeah, I heard the rumours too The ones stipulating that I've lost my reason on the account of lust I'm afraid I'll have to confirm that To the proper authorities very soon I'm afraid I'll have to confirm that To the proper authorities very soon As for you, love Look on the bright side, child, you'll never grow old So how come, to me, you are still so very cold As for you, love Look on the bright side, child, you'll never grow old So how come, to me, you are still so very cold

It's like hammering the face of your little brother For him to stop crying Out of pure benevolence, I shall proclaim myself Thy older brother I shall grant you the right To be taught under my tutelage For I know better I built truth and peace You must reach a new level In martyrdom As I am pouring the salty Mixture of the Lord in those freshly opened veins Creating wounds that won't ever heal As a reminder Of your constant failure Through existence Learn from me, but don't be mistaken I expect the same treatment in return Whip the hatred out of my putrid carcass I'm one of those crazy fucks, I enjoy pain This being achieved and realized Hatred is to be redirected Towards you, the newly designated target Has sole victim to my sulphuric compassion I'm not waging a war I'm imposing peace with violent means I'm not waging a war I'm imposing peace with violent means I'm not waging a war I'm imposing peace with violent means I'm not waging a war I'm imposing peace with violent means I'm not waging a war I'm imposing peace with violent means I'm not losing this war I'm returning peace against my kin

Like the Snake in Eden Only more slippery and deceitful You're poison, girl I could've swallowed you Seeking the proximity; To be under your flesh Flower of flesh and blood I wanted to be your blooming I felt empty The minute you walked away from me... Right now; I miss just everything about her The fragrance all around her neck The way she moves, fuck yeah Those tight panties I can't wait to strip you down! Now, you're a monument of aesthetic Instead of glorifying, I'll re-arrange your pretty smile An icon to be adorned, you make me sick! With a rusty cleaver, I'll be the new Da Vinci Whore, poisonous Wine, strychnine Oh, you please yourself in the collecting of wrecks Of men who've fallen under your charms Between these luscious legs A graveyard has became quite a populous nation But I simply won't give in As I have seen beyond the cruelty of your looks Risen from the ashes of my love life I aim to see you suffer And I desecrate everything that has been given To you, as natural weapons Against my will Weapons that you so skilfully use Everyday, you call this justice? To be the one, that will show you that tomorrow's morning glory is gonna be tainted And simply won't happen, ever again As sunrise is no more And so are you!

Solaris Since she She left, she left I'm, I'm I'm sleepless, I'm speechless A year passed by since The "She's Strychnine" I've swallowed it And survived And now Due to its nature History Repeats itself, she's gone Her, the knife That brought an edge to my life Remember when you used to cry out of pleasure And complete orgasm when we made love? Tell me! How could you take Solaris away from me? How? How could you take Solaris away from me? How? How could you? Why the fuck did you have to go and put us through this? Pound my dreams in to dust Did I truly deserve this? Am I that repulsive? Take away all that I had that was pure and true And give it to an insignificant piece of shit? How can I possibly have faith for a better future now? You fucking life-ruining bitch And still you're trying To play as if you had done nothing wrong If only I could erase Everything we lived together No, instead I'm condemned to love you still This is useless, I could go on forever It's useless, I could go on forever This is useless, I could go on forever It's useless, I could go on forever You are useless, I will go on forever

"Everone spills it, the blood," he answered, out of himself "Blood flows and has always flowed, as a cascade Those that make it flow like champagne are crowned at the Capitol And are named the benefactors of humanity I, once desired the good of men And would've done hundreds, thousands of good actions In exchange for this unique stupidity Not even, this clumsiness! For the idea in itself Wasn't that stupid as it appears now To the light of failure Everything seems stupid To the light of vengeance Everything seems justified To the light of pity Everything seems out of value But nonetheless I will not adopt your views: If I had been successful I would've been crowned instead" "But it's not like that, not at all! Brother, what say you?" "Ah! The form isn't good; it's not acceptable From the standpoint view of aesthetic! And well, really, I don't understand how Dropping bombs on people during A siege in rule replies to a more honorable form? The fear of aesthetic is the first sign of powerlessness Never, never before have I so consciously seen as of now And less than ever do I understand why My particular deed is a crime! A crime? Never, never before have I been more convinced Than as of now Never!" But while pronouncing the last sentence His look met the gaze of Dounia And he read so much suffering In that gaze Then he succumbed He felt that, despite all He had brought sadness to these two poor women For he was The cause of it all For he was The cause of it all For he was The cause of it all

This city is lost as I am Standing still on an unfriendly sidewalk Staring at the flickering streetlights Gently pressing my palm against The dead-cold iron of the pole The lights suddenly shut And again I'm left alone with my thoughts Navigating directionless On a stream of a grey density Hiding in the confinement Of a filthy back alley I think I had sex here once But that's not the point The molecules surrounding me Are definitely moving at a faster pace than mine (I guess that's why my vision is so blurry) Dry cold air fills my lungs Leaving an aftertaste of dust in my mouth I washed it clean with several shots of vodka And why am I coughing this much? I've never smoked, if I'd known, I would have started to quit Would've been a goal to reach in life There goes passion, out of a broken window... Passing by great buildings, giants of man-made desires That are spreading their wings of darkness Upon the city for miles I'm out of breath, and I can't do a thing about it

It's 3:57 in the morning I know it 'cause I just passed by a payphone that told me so It caught my attention because it rang about 3 or 4 times I'm not sure? I was way too drunk and lost Into "Ulver's Perdition City" To truly acknowledge what was going on And prior to that particular insignificance I had lost all senses of time and space Then I saw a girl, only a child to my poor tired eyes Running after what might have been fragments of my life Porcelain doll, a permanent scar On the smooth face of Depression It shines; I'm sore and inspired Scribbled upon the wall You can easily read; Amy was here, 07-12-1980 Answering, I simply wrote back; Hope was here... And quickly left, 02-10-2005 I've narrowed it down to its simplest core And I know what's required of me now There are no parallels in my mind No, no subtleties And I know what's required of me now And how come this phone is still ringing? It'll be the last time and I'll still ignore it completely For once I think I'll be noticed By doing something concrete and visible As of tomorrow Hundreds of humans will be late for work

The sound of dripping rain beating a frail window Enhancing the tick-tocking noise in my head Against the shivering glass, I cannot hear My own sobbing anymore That way, maybe I can learn to forget And forgive myself? I'm not good at being noticed I'm not interesting I'm interested The comforting perfume of urine mixed with mediocrity It's a matter of appreciating what you truly know It's a cynical point of view From a back alley to a crowded main street In broad daylight I could've been saved, you know... Just to realize that She was actually smiling at Somebody else she knew Right aside me There's not a chance in the world that I could possibly erase All the oily fingerprints I've left On everything I've done that I'm not too proud of Yet I still think that all this crying, arguing and fighting Was good for nothing In the end, I didn't kill her In the end, I didn't kill her In the end, I didn't kill her In the end, I didn't kill her

"Heaven is where or when the Devil is losing everything at a Poker game Even Vice is laughing at him...pointing fingers And now he's walking alone in the street, completely broke & homeless On the verge of collapsing to the inevitable... Even the Angels are looking down on him with pity... Yet not a soul dares to help him, (the loser, the first One to have ever been cast aside.) He's thinking about suicide The funny thing is, unlike us, he doesn't have a choice Evil cannot die..." Raindrops are weeping, and I'm a storyteller; I am covered with rust & falling apart like an old 69 Chevy truck I have a lot to say if you're willing to bear with the unpleasant scent of misery & nostalgia How low can it get, when you suddenly realise that what you've been listening to, (for the last ten minutes or so) Through the old transistor radio behind the bar counter, was a disco version of Beethoven's 9th symphony I wanna kill myself right here & now How socially dead of me (- Alias) Could it be the alcohol that drank me out? It feeds on your soul y'know? It feeds on your soul From the other side of the looking glass, imagine a philosophy That is a sardonic aftermath of everything I have lived so far... Solace is just a prelude Solace is just a prelude of things worse to come
