What if the beating stops inside What to do when offsprings pass I know of a manor where they can lurk So they shall live on imprisoned What a bad disease Poor girl's deceased Even the blind can see it's fake They put her somewhere else What a bad disease Poor girl's deceased It's lies and false and fake She's in that orphanage Hit by a wind, hit by a wind Of adolescence Hit by a wind, hit by a wind Of adolescence we born again In this orphan age This orphan age This orphan age This orphan age Visit the smallest who had to leave 'Such a great loss', so they say Enter the fence rails, little one The young live on 'till parents are gone What a bad disease Poor girl's deceased It's lies and false and fake, she's in that orphanage Hit by a wind, hit by a wind Of adolescence Hit by a wind, hit by a wind Of adolescence we born again Hit by a wind, hit by a wind (Hit by a wind) Of adolescence Hit by a wind, hit by a wind (Don't you see) Of adolescence we born again (Again, again, again) In this orphan age This orphan age This orphan age

Was it the stairway, far too steep Was it her blue glance of steel That turned on a childheart's beat Roamed around the moonlit walls Had a sudden sense of loss Or a sense of lust, were I in love Say no to anything that bounds Say no, unfold your soul Say no to anything that bounds, unfold your soul She replied the Sun must shine Over the sea-washed barren mounts With the storming wind she was gone Only once, aeons ago Saw the idol, saw the muse A blonde fairy of the shores Infected with the one adored In fact it is just me enrobed How selfish to be stuck in my woe How disgusting to be stuck in my woe Woven and torn Unbroken vow Say no to anything that bounds Say no, unfold your soul Say no to anything that bounds, unfold your soul Unfold your soul

Take a pen and take the tape too Wind it over, let the swirl begin You're on the A side where it’s paused In the first half, still got a lot to spend Stacking piles of reminiscence Beware of the future, get off the grid How much more do you estimate In a magnetic storm, prisoners of fate You are in the hastening Battling your time Unbearable in hastening Fast forward Driven by the hastening of End Take a pen and take the tape too Wind it over, let the swirl begin You're on the B side, don't you stop In the second half, still got a sentence to spend Tangling the thread of lives Come on eject me, come on eject now Come on eject me, come on eject us now You are in the hastening Battling your time Unbearable in hastening Fast forward You are in the hastening Battling your time, whoa Unbearable in hastening Fast forward Driven by the hastening of Liberation, termination Driven by the hastening of End

Maud Hansson was only twenty During the shootings, a burning witch At the time I first got to know her Was at the same age Perfectly hopeless, what an exact match It's harder than I think to grasp they are made-up Can speak of reasons till dawn why it won't work out Woe is me! Seduction had no bounds How to miss them The worst is yet to come How to miss them, why to miss them Each connection, all relations A final act, still undone The milky white miss on a rear seat Carried around by her dad Every day she appeared as Euphemia We were at the same age Perfectly hopeless, what an exact match It's harder than I think to grasp they're too distant Can speak of reasons till dawn why it won't work out Woe is me! Seduction had no bounds Join forces with dissolution Join forces with billowing Death Or to join forces for example with Kid Ashtear No, let me fade instead “Oh, don’t you just wanna die a little bit inside? Just wanna die” How to miss them The worst is yet to come How to miss them, why to miss them Each connection, all relations A final act, still undone How to miss them The worst is yet to come How to miss them and why to miss them Each connection, all relations A final act, still undone A final act, still undone

Seven Souls 04:32
80s were the glory days Celebrate the last decade when I had not been Let them go inside the spacecraft By every death they died We did grieve, we were taught We watched live, seven souls blasting the face of God Climbing on in thunderstorm Wonders won't dazzle us, we got used to them It's history Challenging times of greater aims "3, 2, 1 and liftoff! Liftoff of the 25th space shuttle mission and it has cleared the tower!” "Challenger now heading down range." Let them go inside the spacecraft By every death they died We did grieve, we were taught We watched live, seven souls blasting the face of God Slipping out from earthly bonds T minus one till the astral plane It's history The envied ones may rest at sea

Godsand 04:38
I’m taken on a ride He keeps teaching on the go I’m too young to realise He’s a relative, a foe We are to the open wide To those who drowned in Godsand A fortress or a tomb Walls collapsed, the ceiling descends Ownerless cave, forsaken shirts Why must I see this horrendous grave Thanks to that long term misbelief You taught me on the way (In) decomposition Children’s corpses will sublimate From those From those who drowned in Godsand From those who drowned in Godsand Where's a sand boil to escape from the spoil I’ve been told to end this day Night time came true When the whole town sleeps I have to join the queue Every light is off Not a single one's in charge Part of a system Even if it's false I’m taken on a ride He keeps teaching on the go I’m too young to realise He’s a relative, a foe We are to the open wide

Heard stories of an inland sea Proud name for a lake And heard the tales they told About a hill that was breathing flames Just a nerveless boy So determined Restorations taking place Excavating the dirt times filled Digging the witness mountain Digging the witness mountain Join us! Digging the witness mountain The volcano wakes again Read about the basalt organs Dry facts of a long gone age Learnt every meaningless Economic disadvantage Of course They can't be compared to Fantasies So memorised the masterplan And stayed patient for infinity (for infinity, for infinity) What if we literally climbed above the vineyard Heading abysmal deeps No exception, it's an order A whole nation fails but the magma's on the surface, who-a-oh Join us! Digging the witness mountain Digging the witness mountain Join us! Digging the witness mountain The volcano wakes again

Far from our daily world Never thought I’d meet you here Never thought I’d meet your spirit Welcome Mr smith of Dreams Far from our daily world Never thought I’d meet you here Never thought I’d meet your spirit We must talk Mr smith of Dreams There is something I need to confess to you Remorse reached my core and I swear I tell the truth I saw cathedrals, tall Covered in spider web Then saw the Lyse kloster Wearing just moss instead And the Parris Mansion’s bats inside I'm sure you'd love that maze of eroded walls they hide Expiration of death cold silence in the air Remorse reached my core and I swear I tell the truth, o yeah Far from our daily world Never thought I’d meet you here Never thought I’d meet your spirit Welcome Mr smith of Dreams Don't you tell me You weren't aware that We make an art depraved, distorted An “art degenerate" There is something I need to confess to you Remorse reached my core and I swear I tell the truth There is something I wish to persuade you I'm sure we are of the race that meets extinction soon We are of the race We are of the race We are of the race

Serpentine 03:50
Generations gathering to hike the peaks up high Three of us with joining hands we walk a bending line Ugh! Early morning we left the town to catch the noon outside Just an awful cover story where real reasons hide We almost touched the sky We almost saw the land that reminds of Mordor We almost reached the top A grey horizon and everything beyond the Serpentine Obviously non-existent scenes loading my mind Twenty years have rushed away, we must have arrived Painted a picture long before I knew a thing about Delusions that could lead a life, believe me or not We almost touched the sky We almost saw the land that reminds of Mordor We almost reached the top A grey horizon and everything beyond the Serpentine

"- I have seen you before! In a dream, a vision... - In a memory." You supreme mystic one Endless longing's over now Reveal your naked self This means the way to die You must know all I need Fulfill what should be done With true passion and lust Can't wait to be gone Can't wait to be gone Pythona - I wish, I crave, I beg you to finalize Pythona - Prepare for Eternity, it’s in your eyes The moment's blurry haze Morbid heat to admire In wordless union Of an instinctive desire At the highest point of our Foul fornication Sink your venom dripping nails Into the self you defiled Sink your venom dripping nails Into the self you defiled Pythona - I wish, I crave, I beg you to finalize Pythona - Prepare for Eternity, it’s in your eyes Pythona - I wish, I crave, I beg you to finalize Pythona - “Prepare for Eternity”, it’s in your eyes

We went below for an eternity To be enchanted by the minerals Bejeweled by the shine of gems A violet glaze enlights the mine A mind flies, creating, crystalizing something new There she is, grand mother of the dust Who has raised me, grown that old All alone working in the dim How could she kept all this untold A mind flies, creating, crystalizing something new Years gone, an eve came and that dazing continued, who-oh

Closets filled with raven treasures And new sensations in a second home Where a younghood misspent More than a guest, almost a brother Unlimited access Having this hideaway Ordinaries antidote A state of guilt so safe From any corner of the globe I dream us back to the Ravens' nest To an era of innocence Dream us back to the Ravens' nest Slippery lies we kept I dream us back to the Ravens' nest To an era of innocence Stained I am, spit I am Resigned to get relief Park on the outside, its light through the curtain The wall clock keeps ticking, drumming on my nerves A friendship lasted way too long Or began too early before we grew up and went wrong Having this hideaway Ordinaries antidote A state of guilt so safe From any corner of the globe I dream us back to the Ravens' nest To an era of innocence Dream us back to the Ravens' nest Slippery lies we kept I dream us back to the Ravens' nest To an era of innocence Stained I am, spit I am Resigned to get relief I dream us back to the Ravens' nest, oo-ooh I dream us back to the Ravens' nest, to the Ravens’ nest-nest-nest I dream us back to the Ravens' nest I dream us back to the Ravens' nest, the Ravens’ nest I dream us back to the Ravens' nest I dream us back to the Ravens' nest
