Dreams, Illusions, Obsessions

I've seen the blindness in the eyes of the men As my executioners came I've seen their judging eyes upon me As I faced the trial Now the skin on my cheeks peel off As I lick the flames And I bid farewell to you all But have you seen the sign? Seen the nightmares in the eyes of the judge As the sentence was read I've seen the mask of virtue fail They have realised Oh, you try to erase my name But you know you can't I have built a better world under my sign Ah, the night Of the fire… Now, my love I won't die! Lived the nightmare in my night of the flame As my execution came Now the temple is empty and ruined Well, so was my life All I wanted: a gift and a name But I got nothing So I leave this victory now To burn in your eyes Ah, the night Of the fire… Now, my loves Now you're mine!

The stellar spires' Ghostly lights Have summoned us and on we sailed The whirlpool of infinity No gulf, no shore our eyes to see... No dust, no light weight of the stone But all the sea that thou Beholds the tomb of ours For we perished in our ship Space is deep An ocean vast Yet inside its waves are bound In thought and dream we navigate Through the abyss of the mind No dust, no light weight of the stone But all the sea that thou Beholds the tomb of ours For we perished in our dream And in some unknown place Our bones are left to moulder now And the falling stars alone know them to tell...

Mothers of the night, embrace your son Weave me a cloak of dying stars Father of my light, caress me now Sing to me a desperate song Lover of my nights, you're the knife You're the knife and the embalmment The phantoms of the night shall take me now To lead me downwards, to the stairs... And now they take me to the chasm And the daughters of the spring And now they take me to the tower Where in silence we shall dream Mothers of the night, embrace your son Weave me a cloak of dying stars Father of my light, caress me now Lead me downward to my hell And now they take me to the chasm To rape the daughters or the spring And now they take me to the tower Where in silence we shall dream...

From me clear blue skies Comes the mighty hail Now it's time to drown Under the black rain From the underground Tribal gods are waking Enter Dreamtime Enter the last wave... Are you a snake? Are you a fish? Well, you're not a man Spirit of the east Are you a ghost Coming from afar? Man of the law Dream of the tide...

Suffered my time Now dark plains lie ahead I reached out too far for your light Answer me now To what did I obey When I betrayed all my light Suffered my time The devil entered here He dances around us, unseen to all Though in the end He didn't have to offer much The noose is hanging from my hand... Everything she touches fries into a pit of fire Her emerald eyes damn me to forgetfulness Oh I remember her eyes, her breath, her maddening signs But answer me this, why are "they" laughing at me? Everything she touches fries into an emerald fire Her wisdom is death But even her bile's "yes" to me Answer me now, why do I ask for forgiveness Here, I have sinned Now I reach for the knife...

As I awoke the fog was thick and grey as the breast milk of hag Sickness splits my body into parts Only a red light hovers through the mist but it shows No way... In leaden blankets, in my womb of death I've lost the count of days (or are they years?) In which I've slept here Mould and spleen keep me company If I'm awake then why is everything so strange So alien around here? And why are joys like heavy stones to me? The children of the night See how beautifully they sing And I am there amongst them At their ritual... Once I saw the night as truth and delight And the canvas of stars as enough Once I saw this man as a child In her arms And she gave me her love and the signs Once I knew him and the light And thanked for my life, but oh, was I there?
