CREMATORY 1999 "Act Seven" SHINING You are so fixed with yourself That you can't behold your life passing you by Wake up brisk before you vanity breaks you Open your eyes while you still can When you need me - just before the memory you Hear my voice coming through your mind When you need me - just before the memory Hear my voice coming through your mind Your friends suffocated by your ego Your siblings haven't known you for a long time Even death refuses to tread on your doorstep Ensued the false passage all your life When you need me - just before the memory you Hear my voice coming through your mind When you need me - just before the memory Hear my voice coming through your mind No one here that misses you again No one here to show you how to fly Have no respectt for life Have no revernce for death Mercy a world used by losers Pain and sorrow gifts from heaven Never will you love Never will you live When you need me - just before the memory you Hear my voice coming through your mind When you need me - just before the memory Hear my voice coming through your mind I NEVER DIE Concealed in the deep of the night Moved when the horror awakes Frightened by the howl of the world Saved by the powers that be Hounded by dark shadows Pursued by many masks Flogged by whiplashes Branded like stock before the war I never die before - I hear your vioce I never die before - you have no choice I never die - I never die Awaken in seas of sweat Reflections Full of bad memories Scared to Fall asleep Subconsious goes mad A never ending dream A journey that never find an aim The end that conquers the swan song Realization of a lost game I never die before - I hear your voice I never die before - you have no choice I never die - I never die He`s the last one that I saw He`s the last of his kind He`s the last one I want to hear He`s the last one I would kill You are the blood Flowing through my veins You are the water which I drink MOONLIGHT The dusk Falls - time is drawing near The sky lit blood red - the moon displays it`s glory The gusts carry`s a silenc hymn to my ear Oarkness surrounds me wich a veil of silk Coldness chisels signs wich my breath Close your eyes - close your mind And dancing in the moonlight Close your eyes - close your mind and dancing in the moonlight My feer carry my softly as on clouds The luscious odour of the nightwind Slips into my nose From a distant I recall The howling of an animal Shadows moving in rhythem wich the trees The night has never seen the grey of day My hands caressed by moonlight My eyes close to the melody of night Close your eyes - close your mind and dancing in the moonlight Close your eyes - close your mind and dancing in the moonlight The night has never seen the grey of day My body drifts like in a Fairy tale Close your eyes - close your mind and dancing in the moonlight Close your eyes - close your mind and dancing in the moonlight FLY Willst du in die Zukunft sehen - Musst du mit dem Teufel reden Wirst du dann um Gnade flehen - Oder nur die Zeit verdrehen Hast die Menschheit in der Hand - Darum zeige mir das neue Land Willst du mit mir tanzen gehen - Alles in Schutt und Asche legen Fly like an angel Fly like the dust Fly to the Oceans Fly like hand - made god Niemand will dein Zeichen sehen - Wirst ihnen bald ihr Leben nehmen Blut und Feuer an den Haenden - Opfernamen an den Waenden Angst und Trauer in der Nacht - Sobald die boese Saat erwacht Einst noch von der Sonne verborgen Was gestern ward ist morgen verstorben Fly like an angel Fly like the dust Fly to the oceans Fly like a hand - made god Die Zeit des Wartens ist vorueber - Du stehst einer neuen Welt gegenueber Die Waelder sind tot, die Fluesse sind leer - Das leben existiert nicht mehr Wer dies zerstoerte kann man erraten - Doch waren dies unsere letzten Taten Ob du das wolltest oder nicht - erzaehlt dir keiner mehr du armer Wicht THE HOLY ONE Hands folded to pray, Holy utterance by a split tongue The halo of blood and ashes 2000 years of praise 2000 years fo lies Exploited mans gullibility Manifestations from one mouth Testimony in many ears Mankind tormented, the brains enslaved Hear no evil - he's the holy one See no evil - he's the holy one Speak no evil - he's the holy one Feel no evil - he's the holy one He approached from the future To show us the past Beserted to the past to convey us the future Born holy, died as a beggar on the cross But you have to stride The holy path for yourself Hands folded to pray, Holy utterance by a split tongue The halo of blood and ashes 2000 years of praise 2000 years fo lies Exploited mans gullibility Manifestations from one mouth Testimony in many ears Mankind tormented, the brains enslaved Hear no evil - he's the holy one See no evil - he's the holy one Speak no evil - he's the holy one Feel no evil - he's the holy one The holy one - the evil one THE GAME Your life definded by many lies You dwell in your own words Distant from all that`s real Gaze into the mirror And behold the Face of a player A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game of life In some situations once so common And then disappionted stabbed those That once aided yuo in the back Seeking truth in a glass A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game of life Aggressive and disappionted You roam through life Tossing away Your whole future for a Small illusion in your head A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game of life WAITING Motionless, uncoscious, hopeless waiting for a sign Awesome, Frightened, respectful Devoted to life Ruchless, without ambition, aimless Followed the wrong path Egoistic, brutal, honest Finished with the past For you and forever - For you and forever Waiting for a sign - to take your life waiting for a sign - looking for the source waiting for a sign - like tears in your hand waiting for a sign - for the rest of your life For the rest of your time For you and forever - For you and forever Painless, unattractive, faceless Looking towards the future Longing, sensitive, dignified Escaped the unknown Miserable, restless, indecent Eyes set on goal Cruel loathsome, repulsive waiting for the end A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game A game of life - the game of life A game with your life - the game of life AWAKE Dreams that once found their destiny Soar above carried by sorrow The passage I once Followed bstructed by barriers Used up all the knowledge forgotten dreams turn to illusion Now that you are awake Now that you are awake - dreams that once found their destiny Now that you are awake - wake up and tell me what you see I witness the eminent past nearing In the woods of darkness, in the valley of dismay The lifeless guise of disembodied souls Seeking, begging, bound towards the same trail Forgotten dreams turn to illusion - now that you are awake Forgotten dreams turn to illusion - now that you are awake Like a Spider weaving ist web to capture prey Or a scorpion swinging his sting to slay Now that you are awake - dreams that once found their destiny Now that you are awake - Wake up and tell me what you see Blod flowing life-filling trough your head Can gently turn into a toxin of demise The past is here and craves for homage Darkness gorges the bellows for serenity
