"What's the point of you?"
"If you were my dog, I'd feed you poison."
"If I were your dog, I'd eat it."

Ængelmaker

Kill

Born into a world where a life is unwanted
Too many mouths to feed
Coming from a safehold, pushed out into hell
Blessed is the body that bleeds
Taking the unwanted into her care
Kiss them goodbye my dear
Is she still the guilty one
If she makes the crime disappear
Disappear

Ængelmaker

She bartered(?) them to God for a small fee
Paradise was waiting there
Taking them away from a life in pain
Burning up the plain we share
Is it such a brutal world
It's such a brutal world

Ængelmaker

Did it make you numb when you squeezed the life out of them?
Did it make you forget your own abuse?
You want to make them angels, but they will only haunt you

Ængelmaker

Strangulation
Kill

"What's the point of you?"
"If you were my dog, I'd feed you poison."
"If I were your dog, I'd eat it."

Take me as I am
Believe me if you can
Bring me what I need
Force me to succeed

I love your shiny black boots
Your silence turns me on
You push me through the door
You beat me to the floor

Gotta run away
Gotta stay away
Gotta do it now
Wanna make it work
Gotta stop myself
Wanna go with it
Gotta run away

I can't sit still
No more

Watch me as I try
To let life pass me by
Fear is my only friend
It leads me to the end

Gotta run away
Gotta stay away
Gotta do it now
Wanna make it work
Gotta stop myself
Wanna go with it
Gotta run away

I can't sit still
No more

Bondage was the game
Tie me up again

Strap me down again - Tie me up like you used to
Strap me down again - Harder than ever before

The shadows still mess with my head
I dream of you again endlessly
I can't forget the pleasures we felt
I want your hand now in flesh and bone

I still feel the scars on my arms and legs
I recall the pain of the rope burns
The memories of our games
Are tied up in my thoughts forever

Strap me down again - Tie me up like you used to
Strap me down again - Harder than ever before

Strap me down again

I imagine your nails scratching my chest
Like the first time you made love to me
It was so much more than a one night stand
I have never felt something so intense again

Like the thought of your naked skin
Like the hate I almost felt for you
Like the screaming bliss of a climax
I will never stop wanting you

Strap me down again - Tie me up like you used to
Strap me down again - Harder than ever before

"Disrespect the rules and you shall pay by the rod."

Let me feel restriction again
Let me show my trust in you
Let me be in your chains again
Punish me like you used to

Strap me down again - Tie me up like you used to
Strap me down again - Harder than ever before

Bondage was the game
Tie me up again

Hey!
Imperfection is beauty

Social outcast, human virus
Pushed away from the norm
Never chosen, never seen
Hurt the boy, hurt the girl
Hurt the boy, hurt the girl

Genetic fuckup

Hey!
Imperfection is beauty

Shouting children block the sun
Chubby boy got no help
Like a sick bird pecked to death
Kill the boy, kill the girl
Kill the boy, kill them all

Genetic fuckup

Hey!
Imperfection is beauty

In their minds, something grows
Isolation, psychopaths
Lovely day for revenge
Kill the boy, kill the girl
Kill them all, kill myself

Genetic fuckup

Imperfection is beauty

Vor der Kaserne
Vor dem großen Tor
Stand eine Laterne
Und steht sie noch davor
So woll'n wir uns da wieder seh'n
Bei der Laterne wollen wir steh'n

Wie einst Lili Marleen

Unsere beide Schatten
Sah'n wie einer aus
Daß wir so lieb uns hatten
Das sah man gleich daraus
Und alle Leute soll'n es seh'n
Wenn wir bei der Laterne steh'n

Wie einst Lili Marleen

Schon rief der Posten,
Sie blasen Zapfenstreich
Das kann drei Tage kosten
Kam'rad, ich komm sogleich
Da sagten wir auf Wiederseh'n
Wie gerne wollt ich mit dir geh'n

Mit dir Lili Marleen

Deine Schritte kennt sie,
Deinen zieren Gang
Alle Abend brennt sie,
Doch mich vergaß sie lang
Und sollte mir ein Leids gescheh'n
Wer wird bei der Laterne steh'n

Mit dir Lili Marleen

Aus dem stillen Raume,
Aus der Erde Grund
Hebt mich wie im Traume
Dein verliebter Mund
Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn
Werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n

Wie einst Lili Marleen

[No lyrics]

no phantoms will make you cry again
the sad face i see in the shades will disappear
your fragile heart won't break in my hands
i keep it where no force can penetrate the shell

the chaos they said would come from this
the mess they predicted just made us wanting more
such madness can only come from love
and we're still the kings among the slaves

the cruelty just vanished in the air
when you draw me close to your warm & gentle soul
i leave to a better place tonight
the hate melts when you're inside me

Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see

Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me

I want to take you
In my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

I look to you
And your strong belief
Me, I want relief
Tonight

Consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight

Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today

Black celebration
I'll drink to that
Black celebration
Tonight

Stolen feathers can protect
Stolen feathers disaffect
Stolen feathers can protect
Stolen feathers, they will rake you

No more earthling needs to grave
Circles Heaven end for me
My mind is ready now to leave
My body wants to stay for more

Angels stand around my bed
A dream can give me wings to fly
I never want to hurt again
I wish the night would stay so dark

Stolen feathers can protect
Stolen feathers disaffect
Stolen feathers can protect
Stolen feathers, they will rake you

If I had a chance to fight
The thieves would have to pay with blood
But judgement never falls on them
She always takes the silent tolls

I rip the feathers off the wing
But I still feel as fake and weak
The feathers wasn't meant for me
I guess I'm just a sad mistake

Stolen feathers can protect
Stolen feathers disaffect
Stolen feathers can protect
Stolen feathers, they will rake you

White on white is all I see in this cold room
Staring at the plastic tubes connected to you
I feel like the rain outside; I'm falling down
My whole world is standing still without you smiling

Don't you dare die on me
Who am I without you
Don't you dare die on me
Who are we divided

I try to recall the past we shared so far
Both our lives were turned around the day we met
Something wants to stop us now, but we are strong
We've both seen the face of death; we know his weakness

They tell me to talk to you, but I don't know
If I open up my mouth, I might start screaming
All I can is hold your hand and wait for you
I wish I could take your place and all your pain

Don't you dare die on me
Who am I without you
Don't you dare die on me
Who are we divided

All the doctors try to tell me what is wrong
There is not a spot on you they haven't checked
I know that they try to help, but I am scared
It's a fucking guessing game; they don't know shit

Don't you dare die on me
Who am I without you
Don't you dare die on me
Who are we divided

I know that you fight this thing with all your strength
I wish I could be with you and fight beside you
Then I know that if we fail and lose the war
We will know we kicked some ass and stood united

Sleep

Don't you dare die on me
Who am I without you
Don't you dare die on me
Who are we divided

I just ask you to be brave and fight for us
We are one, so don't let go without a battle
You know I will understand if you decide
That this war is too much for your soul to handle

Deliver me - Out of the sadness
Deliver me - From all of the madness
Deliver me - Courage to guide me
Deliver me - Strength from inside me

Deliver me - Loving and caring
Deliver me - Giving and sharing
Deliver me - Loving and caring
Deliver me - The cross that I'm bearing

Deliver me - Out of the sadness
Deliver me - From all of the madness
Deliver me - Courage to guide me
Deliver me - Strength from inside me

All of my life
I was in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here
Now that I found you
I know that you're the one to pull me through

Deliver me - Loving and caring
Deliver me - Giving and sharing

All of my life
I was in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here
Now that I found you
I know that you're the one to pull me through

Deliver me - Out of the sadness
Deliver me - From all of the madness
Deliver me - Courage to guide me
Deliver me - Strength from inside me
Deliver me - Loving and caring
Deliver me - Giving and sharing

All of my life
I was in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like you
Now that you're here

I know that you're the one to pull me through

Deliver me - Loving and caring
Deliver me - The cross that I'm bearing

Girl of sixteen
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down to her knees and prays

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of eighteen
Fell in love with everything
Found new life
In Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
