Face Up
04:10

|
I strike up the cloud
Strike up the velvet purple cloud
I strike up the cloud
And find the bones ready to dance
Fire dancing bones
Twirling the sparks of my lace
Raising the sparks of my face
Into a velvet purple chase
CHORUS
You got me face up
And ready to shine
The perfect stage
Is set up in your sky
This light is for you and I
So hold your face up
I’ll make you mine
I stir up my dress
Stir up my dirty purple dress
I stir up my dress
And find the bones ready for
Another act in this dress
Another kiss to assess
Play up the fox to impress
One more ride
Pull your shot
Pull your shot at me
And Russia smiles, says, Russia smiles, says
Everyone’s got their own taste of you
CHORUS (2X)

Sister Skin
03:30
|

Golden apples
Rolling down along my race track
I’m in trouble if I take a minute to lay back
Running away from time
Pullin’ a jive at
Running away from me
Puckher up
And pick a moonsnail
Smoothin’ downthe apple tree
CHORUS
Trippin’ and steppin’ out
Drinking the chorus
From the women in crime
Stole a kiss and a dance
Chasing the Siren through
Her coral trance
Bared up and synthesized
Can I ask for my name to bite along my own ride to love
Followed up, piggy-back ride
Cherry-poppin’ every way out
Where do I restore
These shades of glass
I blew out to
Watch the underwater seed
Germinate into the glory of the crystal reef
Riding the wave of the Siren’s smile
Ain’t no riverbed sweeter than mine
So won’t you sing along
You’re swimming real fine
BRIDGE
Took a bite from the sister skin
Looking for a way out
Of this Desire
But the thirst is real
Quenched in rivalry
Feel my candy-coil
Covered up in need
CHORUS 2X

Pick up the moon
In the scorpion's tail
The Huntress is running wild
From her bride
I call upon the shape of the Three
For a silver light
On the road she set for me in the Night
And I see the Ibis smile and bow down the water for me
(2x)
Don't let this Lady lie
This Lady lie
Don't let this Lady lie herself away from you
Pick up the moon
In the scorpion's tail
The Huntress is running wild
From her bride
I call upon the shape of the Three
For a silver light
On the road she set for me in the Night
And I see the Ibis smile and bow down the water for me

Vicious
04:14
|
|||
|
Malice breathes
The love of the discord
Down the spiral
Of the filth of your pride
Slap back dreams
Of your hand it flies
It reaches high
Deeper than the sky
Raising your body to please
With a brain erected and set for disease
You cream and ache
For the pleasure
Of your fear
To be mine
CHORUS
Hold my secrets and feed my viciousness
Through the benediction of your violation
And the isolation of my penetration
More devastation and deprivation
More addiction and desecration
Allow me to surrender
To more temptation please
Can’t you hear the ghost in chains
Screaming by my side
I drink and swallow the decay
Of the bones and the pyre
Don’t let go of me
Everyday I wake up thinking
This could be the Dream
I’m looking for reality
I’m craving for a fantasy
In the shape of a merciful Queen
Could I be
Enough for you
When the wheel turns
I’ll be hanged in true
I need somebody to devour and burn me
To my redemption and release
CHORUS
Hold my secrets and feed my viciousness
Through the benediction of your violation
And the isolation of my penetration
More devastation and deprivation
More addiction and desecration
Allow me to surrender
To more temptation please
And I can feel my blood in your eyes
My body and my needs
Vicious in your smile
Vicious and golden
Vicious and golden
Alive in your smile
I feel so alive here in your smile

Original Game
05:19

Lo! Watch the creature stand
In the light at hand
Spark up on demand
See the lips open in my eyes
Catch you by surprise
Take and mesmerize
I've got all your needs
In the hand that feels
I'll be playing you bound
To the freedom ground
Your dirtiest deeds
Are on my secret side
So won't you come on your knees
Down to your shadow-pride
I am the place you're always craving to face
You're always easy to chase
You're always dying to taste
CHORUS
Sink into the Fire
Of the Original Game
My feet upon the altar
Of the silver flame
Wrap yourself around
The gaze around the body
I'll take you to the crown
If you surrender to me
I am the shape inside your veins
Blowing the twist of the rhythm
To your brain
I grip the power of the sacred reigns
You bite the skin off
With teeth of blaze
This rill of lust
Brings the sea to dust
The words adjust
And crave the thrust
Feel the bindings obsolete
Liberation complete
Exhilaration released
CHORUS
Sink into the Fire
Of the Original Game
My feet upon the altar
Of the silver flame
Wrap yourself around
The gaze around the body
I'll take you to the crown
If you surrender to me
(2x)
I am the place you're always craving to face
You're always easy to chase
You're always dying to taste
(4x)

Le Désir Terrible
04:42
|

|
Your son is a prostitute ready to burn
Knee-deep in the flesh, beggin' for his turn
Please Lady, will you throw me down
I can't dance on the spikes
Of the fire-ground
Your son is a waste
And a viceral lie
Your treasure of pain
Tied to the eagle's chains
Waiting on the other side
Feed me, need me
Somebody tame me
Devoted and lusted
These chains embrace me
CHORUS
Feed the midnight vulture
He's got his mind set on murder
With his gun aimed to pleasure
The desert is moisture
Feed the midnight vulture
His tale is bound in leather
My skin is bleeding danger
Forensic games through fire
Raving and raging
My dirty girl is emulation
By definition
And perpetration
My Queen is a bird of prey
I know what she'll say
Off with her head
Let me play with the Dead
CHORUS
Instigate
Supplicate
Coppulate
Obliterate
The Saviour will only wake
If you die in his name
Feed me, need me
Somebody tame me
Devoted and lusted
These chains embrace me
Feed the midnight vulture
He's got his mind set on murder
With his gun aimed to pleasure
The desert is moisture
I want everyone to watch me
I want everyone to want me
I want everyone to use me
I want everyone to come to me
(4x)
LAST : I want everyone to come for me

Perfect Place
03:19
|
|||
|
Lost in the lust and the skin inside
Your name is a firestarter so divine
Alone, I feel your body close to mine
Indulge and feed from the storyline
Black and red and velvet gold
In this room I carve a purple shade of the moon
Naked with your staff, the sun and a gown
You’re riding on a dance the size of a trance
Every kiss is real when I close my eyes
The echo of your touch is ringing inside
I won’t take the chance to cover up this time
I will take a bow and surrender in style
You know
Every love is a face
Every love is a chase
Every love is a place
For you to feel alive
Every love is a game
Every love is the same
You know
Every love is me
This place is the perfect shape of you and I
You feel like the perfect kiss to chase to Life
Swallow down the fire of your sacrifice
I’ll love myself and lose myself with you tonight
(2x)
This place has everything
Everything I need
What a perfect time
What a perfect place
Come on light up the ride
Gonna love me even better tonight
This place is the perfect shape of you and I
You feel like the perfect kiss to chase to Life
Swallow down the fire of your sacrifice
I’ll love myself and lose myself with you tonight
(2x)
Ain’t no other love better than yours, boy
Ain’t no other love better than mine

Sound of Nothing
05:01
|
|||
|
Behold the corpse staring back at me
I've braved the storm in the pitch black scene
And you still don't believe in anything
But the breath of the lies
Sinking in your head
Bleeding you to bed
And the line you said was Trust me
What you'll give
To sodomize your pride
PRE-CHORUS
And why do you need all this pain
Why do you raise this tower of shame
CHORUS
Gather the blind horsemen now
There's nowhere to hide
In the wasteland sound of Nothing
I'm lost and I'm fighting
Your army of Fear
And your blade of Apathy
Wavering inside of me
Crazy is born the right subtlety
Wherein lies your sacred prophecy
There's no blood here, can't you see
Your upheaval sucks your leather dry
I still feel your kiss
Tearing and screaming for a forestfire
Watch your name spreading wide
For the mercy of your tribe
And the leeches in your spine
PRE-CHORUS
And why do you need all this pain
Why do you raise this tower of shame
CHORUS
What am I to do with this cloud of emptiness and silence
The iron is fake and destruction is waking up
Everyone
Zephyr needs a battleground
And I need to drown
'cause my bones mean nothing
If you don't come 'round
What is a man to a boy
What is a woman to you boy
Never thought I'd be
Too fucking bright for your light
CHORUS

Peter Pan

|
Where are you here
And why is the void
The safest place to ride
Everywhere's a madness
I won't bear to witness
Please take me
And shape me
A new space
To fly my soul free
CHORUS 1
Chastisize me
I can't stand up straight in this body
Bitter, dry and cold
My mouth tastes
The city of silence
And all the lies
I haven't told
And all the lies
I haven't told
I belong to everybody
Do what you will to me
Take it all
I don't wanna wear this anymore
Tie me down this perfection of
Passion and redemption
I can't stop the fight
And I won't let it die
CHORUS 1
Chastisize me
I can't stand up straight in this body
Bitter, dry and cold
My mouth tastes
The city of silence
And all the lies
I haven't told
And all the lies
I haven't told
CHORUS 2
Tell me how to save the world
This rite of passage is the only way
To become a man
Who deserves a better chance
Tell me how to save the world
Or I'll tear it apart and watch it burn
I can't trust myself
To decipher this rupture inside
I need my blood frozen underground
Safe in ether
All I ever wanted
Was to feel my bones sedated
I'm drowning in malachite
And I can't pick a satellite
No, I can't pick a satellite
Thought I was strong
And thought I was right
My dominion is a void
And your temple
Is the only flesh that's safe for me tonight
I'm not ready to cry
And my son's not ready to die
(2x)

Precious circus
This I pray
Join me in the Macabray
The host awaits you to lift her dress
And bleed over the spades you’ve clubbed in her diamond heart
They say she’ll rise
To stand beside
They say she’ll scream her light up high
And rise
CHORUS
Jumped on a rubber revolution ride
And got me critical
Whimsical mechanical bovine love
Why do I play so hard
Cinched up in her mystical glory
She told me she’ll have her way any way she can
Caught in your mother’s tongue
Devious, satirical and wonderful
Your condition so alchemical
In your garden so deep and eclectical
Every curve’s another way out
She’ll find you and take you like a man
So won’t you take her like a man
Give me more or your fashion for passion
I cream a little dream of action and traction
The reapers dance upon our grave
What’s another sky to weep away
Everywhere’s another place 'til dawn
I believe some of you were roses
Painted in stone-cold glass
Thought I heard the host twitch and burn to play
They say she’ll scream her light up high
And rise
CHORUS (2X)

If you happen to see
The Lady walk by
Tell her I’ve set
The spiders at the boy last night
I got a drink from the crimson sky
And I danced the day the bridge crumbled
On the other side
My mouth is a river of blood
My mouth is the river of blood where I told you to dive
You are not alone here
Staring at the devastation of your craze
I leave the slaughter field
Watching the death of your perfect gaze
Sliced in two
The city echoes red
Starved
The designation of your consecration of eradication
Got me choking up
Begging for freedom
From the bedlam in your mind
Spreading and infecting
Your cloud is a quicksand storm
Retaliating with decay
Every land I bleed to dry
Is a perfect token of your glory day
Every you I believed in
Drowned in genocide
Every place I would dress-up and feed in
Has been gutted deep through and sacrificed
Terrorized, your greed is pride
Altered and filtered
With the desecrating poison of time
I will break through another rotted shape of that gun
Flip your cards and play the dog a love song, play the dog a love song
The monkeystrides the lord of the flies
And your river lies
Let me ride, let me ride
So if I happen to see
The Lady walk by
I’ll tell her I`ve set the spiders at the boy last night
I’ve ignited the words to annihilate him by
And the Lady said the ravens were on my side

Corrosion
03:05

Cradling sky for the see-through child
The pleasure of life is an open mind
My love is the flavour of the light
Swim through the grounds of the rainbow inside
Cradling sky for the see-through child
The treasure of life is a silver line
Forever is a place to define
The corrosion of the needle of time
Through my landslide
Nihilism beckons, spreads and spikes
How dare you stand and state that the me I choose to be
is nothing
And my body is an irrevocable lie
Looking for a piece of evidence
To slice in two and circumvent
I refuse to find myself slain
The book will bear my name
Written from my fingers
Bleeding liquid golden stains
The trail of glory down the line
Mama please shake it right
And spin me up another night
Please give me more, give me more, give me more time
And if you take of my body
I’ll rape you back
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Is incarcerated emptiness gone black
The corrosion is invisible, invincible and soundless
Spiking me straight through the eye
Pulling my face down to taste
The wicker man’s waste
My light is weak, flickering from the chaos in my tortured dress
Immortalize, exorcize, crucify and sanctify
And give me back, give me back give me back my fucking sky
No more waking pain
Free the abominable implacable smile in vain
No escape, no escape, no escape
From the needle of time

Falling
05:53

Why is this cage so empty
Why is this cage so full of realities that fake up
And why am I hearing myself again
Chasing
Desperately chasing
Falling
Losing ground
I’m falling (repeat)
Why do I need the story
And why do I need the glory
Could I forget for a while
Could I re-member myself alone this time?
How many more lies
Do I have to skin myself out of
In this havoc underground
I’m falling (repeat)
Where do I fly
In this cage of you
This cage of me
And why do I
Lock myself inside
When my blood is nowhere to find
And I’m filling up the hole
With obsession
And I’m picking at myself
‘cause I’m no better
Than anyone else
Don’t make me go through this again
I will not go through this again
I will not fall
I will not fall again
I’ll just keep a silky slide
‘til I find Anthony’s smile saying Hi
