So this is
the exemplar deathstyle
you told me about;
you want my seed in
is this the treason
I bare the fame from?
my fatal freedom;
the omniswansong

I carry the news of Darkness and hope

So this is
the underworld
you have in your heart;
you hide in your room
Iґm so sorry to say
it only makes me laugh

I carry the news of Darkness and hope

So here I have-your act of love
within the poison-of your every word
each night you stay in-each night I will have to run
knowing from darkness and hope
there is no return.

I carry the news of darkness and hope.

dedicated to the small great people of
Saboia, Alentejo, Portugal.
Hang, rope, silver bullet,magic pill,
mandrakeґs root. The southern deathstyle

. . .


Help me fall from grace
Need you to be incomplete
I am the impostor at your feet
Is it your first time
Or have you been tempted before
Downward into the pulsing life
Laying below

Try firewalking inside of me
when everything falls apart
Try firewalking inside of me
When everything falls apart

Wonґt you fall from grace
I am at a wingbeat
from my retreat
Is it your first time or have you been tempted before
Downward the pulsing secret
Laying below

Try firewalking inside of me
when everything falls apart
Try firewalking inside of me
when everything else falls apart

. . .


High heels of crystal
stuck in the heart
daylight that heals
the fullmoon scars
Spider strategy
and the wish to be
at one with me
throughout the fright

It is so real
So full of light
(when)Nocturna steals the night

Sister of cain
all our breed slain
the youthful oath
remains the same
le mal de vivre
that never ends
but the hunt (for you) goes on
throughout the night

It is so real
So full of light
(when) Nocturna steals the night

. . .


Never resist
The firewalker
He has been sent
To educate you
never look back
at the great Deep
and never dance to
that curse he sings

Never resist
The life long Pessimist
he is the leader
and not the enemy
My heart complete
put to destroy you
my darkness's obsolete
please let me follow you

^chorus^
And when we meet there
into the Heartshaped abyss
you'll scar me with your kiss
and when we meet there
into the Heartshaped abyss
you'll forgive me everything
scared away
get away

Never resist
the firewalker
He has been sent
to lay a curse on you
never resist
never look back
Liar I'm ready to push you

^chorus^

Let's get away from this world
to a place we are still beautiful

. . .


She wears devilRed

she sweats the poison
-all over her
keeps me quiet
-inside her storm
she has the method
-no other knows

red as the veins,she likes to swim in
floating so gently,through this human misery

She must be a part
Of a Highest Plan
Something I canґt understand

she wears devilRed

Sheґs selling a damned soul
To whoever pays the most
Her body-the cure
for all evil and good

red as the veins
she likes to swim in
floating so gently
through this human misery

She must be a part
Of the Highest Plan
Something I canґt understand

she wears devilRed

devilred

. . .


Outside the mythic Rains
let us know we are not insane
Blood debts still to be paid
(Instead) We celebrate the Stranger

Inside the mythic Pains
are played
Blood doubts are asked again
Beware the Answers - you cannot tame
(Might) Take you too far away

Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
I am going to haunt you

And protect you
I am going to hurt you

And if we survive this Dawn
We wish weґd see the Day
Die to come back a Single-Time
That face in the window
Is never the same

Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
I am going to haunt you

And protect you
I am going to hurt you

. . .


Eternal life runs so slow
When you play your lamentation show
eternal kisses are cold
Why do you think they are beautiful
Let the candles burn
And the stakes go through your soul

Not all vampires suck blood
Not all of them die for love

Eternal life runs so very slow
You are the star of my lamentation show
Eternal kisses are gold
Yes I think they are beautiful
Let all candles burn
Some of us are strong

Not all vampires suck blood
Not all of them die for love

. . .


I am the Flood
who drags the Dirt
and lives on it

She is the Soil
With whom I flirt
and rots with it

I am the Flood
who purifies
I guess, she calls me
The Lord of Lies

When Iґm inside her
Feels like she is
Made of Storm
Feels like sheґs made of Storm

I am the Flood
Who likes the Dirt
and sleeps with it

She is the soil
with whom I flirt
She rots within

I am the Flood
who purifies
She does not know
sheґs fucking with
The Lord of Lies

When Iґm inside her
Feels like sheґs made of Storm
Feels like
sheґs made of Storm

When I desire her
Feels like sheґs
made of Storm
Made of Storm

. . .


How we became Fire
Slaves to the smaller Desire
of ignoring Wrong and Right

When we could have been Water
The shape of all Things
The End of all things

Burning with you
At once the grace
and the curse

How we became Fire
when we could have been Air
the Ground you sleep - rest in

When we could have been Air
Follow you everywhere

Burning with you
At once the grace
and the curse

How we became Fire?
Slaves to the greater Desire
of enlighten you and I

Of saving you and I

. . .


(spoken)
"Dorme, dorme meu menino!
Dorme - no mar dos sargaços;
Que mais vale o mar a pino
Que as Serpentes nos meus braços!"
Mário Cesáriny

And when all Life as you know it - Fails
All ghostlike lips taste just the - same
What better comfort can you find
Than the Serpents in my Arms

Sleep, sleep - now, my Child
In the Sea of crystal Trouble
For better is the violent Sight
than all that you leave behind

In your Eyes - a Dark so subtile
It tells you walk, but never fly
To leave us all behind

And when all Life as you know it - Fails
All ghostlike Lips taste just the - same
What better comfort can you find
Than the Serpents in my Arms

Down, down - terrible Child
To look at It, it is a Sin
For better is to hold that Smile
That's all you leave behind

In your Eyes - a Mark so subtile
It tells you walk, but never fly
Never fly - to leave us all
To leave us all behind

And when all Life as you know it - fails
All ghostlike Lips taste just the......same
What better comfort can you find
Than the Serpents in my Arms

What better comfort can you find
than
The Serpents
In my Arms

Lá fora estão os senhores da guerra
E cantam já hinos de vitória
Lá fora estão os senhores da guerra
E cantam já hinos de vitória
Qual é a historia desta terra?
É o medo, ali mesmo

Cá dentro estão os homens á espera
Unidos no destino da terra
Cá dentro estão os homens á espera
Unidos no destino da terra
Já não há memória, de paz na terra
É o medo, ali mesmo

Ó terra, mais um dia a nascer
Ahhh, é menos um dia a morrer

É tão pouca a gloria duma guerra
E os homens que as fazem sem vitorias
É tão pouca a gloria duma guerra
E os homens que as fazem sem vitorias
Já não há memória, de paz na terra
É o medo, ali mesmo
Ó terra, mais um dia a nascer
Ahhh, é menos um dia a morrer

Ó terra, mais um dia a nascer
Ahhh, é menos um dia a morrer
Ó terra, mais um dia a nascer
Ahhh, é menos um dia a morrer

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
[solo]
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
l wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

. . .


When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
