Ketzer Endzeit Metropolis 1. Endzeit Metropolis This is the End! These desolate streets of Metropolis You`re longing to suck up the night Take your last chance to drown in life Fuck the night, breathe it`s air `cause this is the End! Metropolis, the hatred, the love! Endzeit, the coming of the dawn! Metropolis, the darkness, the light! Endzeit, the pulse of time! These lonely streets of Metropolis You`re longing to kiss for one last time The lips of the darkness around you The womb of the ruins above you Here`s to the end of times In this darkest night of nights Let`s dance into wicked crowds As worlds collapse and hearts arouse Drinking `til dawn in these desperate times Until Aurora`s glance shines This is the End! These are my final words Metropolis, this is for you As I walk on broken glass Into the vision of a thousand eyes I have made my peace and I`m ready to die This is it! Metropolis, the mother, the whore! Endzeit, the coming of the dawn! Metropolis, the darkness, the light! Endzeit, the pulse of time! As I walk by the stars, hanging head-high Shining on a dark path I walk towards the light Open eyes, with open eyes I am gazing At the sky, hoping for sunrise Loved ones, forever gone Are the thoughts in my mind as I see the skyline Endzeit Metropolis A chain on my heart, a death inside First rays in my face Still crawling from behind It`s the feeling of the Endzeit 2. A Requiem For Beauty Is there beauty in darkness and disgust? In darkest horrors? Can`t you see the grace of mass graves, the thrones of decay? Joyfully, my eyes are filled with tears... When I see the pain and the undying misery... ...of the world! Take a walk through Eden To trample down it`s flowers Cut throught the faces of the beauties And burn the monuments of our times Tomorrow or today The glance fades anyway Lest we forget? Let us destroy! Come! Come! Play the Requiem! Come! Come! Sing to Beauty! Dance! Dance! In the shadows of the night Let the horrors shine in brightest light Dance in fire, dance in flames Sing songs in burning ecstasy Dance in ashes and dance in ruins For a burning world, play a burning song that`s called: A requiem for beauty Is there beauty in darkness and disgust? In darkest horrors? Can`t you see the grace of mass graves, the thrones of decay? Take a walk through Eden To trample down it`s flowers Cut throught the faces of the beauties And burn the monuments of our times Tomorrow or today The glance fades anyway Lest we forget? Let us destroy! 3. The Fever's Tide And when the silence of a bird rips through the loudness of the world When the touch of a feather tears the softest skin to tatters I close my eyes and wait to die A thousand deaths in a world with no light A thousand deaths in a world without sight In darkness I see Through minds and flesh I dream a dream of my own death Hear, hear...the rocks are rolling, the horror, the fear Dream, I dream...of scorched earth and mountains Breathe the air...through lungs filled with ashes I choke in despair See, I see...the overflow, now I`m drowning... Inside The Fever`s Tide Waves break in Fire in veins Hot blood fever Sweat on skin The salt on my lips is a nightmare`s kiss Kiss of fever Heat in mind Cloth on skin The wake of a dream pulls me Inside The Fever`s Tide Face to face Now so sudden I see clear Wisdom through sickness sight through fear As I drown in death I see through tunnels of light and fear Fear the Tide Floods of heat against my knees Grace of Fever Rolling rocks like beating hearts And when the kiss of sweet lips feels like the punch of a fist When the silence of a stone cuts through flesh, teeth and bones I close my eyes and wait to die A thousand deaths in a world full of light A thousand deaths in a world with clear sight 4. Aesthetics And Ecstasy My life is a fire And I`m its flame Fulfilled on surface Yet I am empty So many chances Why not take them all? So many roads I`d take them all? Can you hear, can you hear the sounds? And the echoes of the sounds that fulfill me As I bath in loudness and the splendour of tones As I sink into visions and the splendour of colours Words open worlds of haunting beauty Those desperate phrases, enlightening through dark It is mine, this Beauty ...this Ecstasy But suddenly it`s like I got nothing `cause it`s not mine, your Beauty ...your Ecstasy Only one wish: to drown in your skin! And in your eyes And in your bones And in your voice Those pleasant tones Deeper and deeper Into the dungeons of your mind Never ending, my wishes lair That is you flesh, bones and air And in your mouth And in your scent When will those wishes ever end? Sounds and colours Meet as one Don`t meet in me Not anymore Nothing moves me, nothing pulls me, nothing takes me Towards and into ...the Ecstasy 5. Farewell, Fade Away [Instrumental] 6. Collector Of Worlds Night has come, my friend Feed our fire with wine For we will, while the world`s asleep Kiss the moon in the darkest deep My name is not the same...here My vein is not the same...here For I am: Collector of worlds Burning heart! Come forth, never regret the choices I´ve made As long as the horizon...fades So will I at the end of the line Will I find my way or will I fade away? Disappear in the heat of the night? Without sight, lost my roots, I am never to find... Again, `cause the heart is so bleak like an ocean so deep Never regret! Never regret, never look back! Tremble, but never fall! I hear a voice, so clear Through the sounds of the world And I see and I tremble A pale face, blue eyes Against the bleeding horizon In shades of grey, in shades of black Lavender mist, a purple dust Fade in strange worlds Fade in shades of black Whispering walls are breaking Into earth and dust Open wide and float now For I am... Collector of worlds Burning heart! Come forth, never regret the choices I´ve made As long as the horizon...fades 7. Redeemed By Truth My mind is a fortress My mouth is a trench My tongue may execute My words, the swords I am the poison in your veins I am the cancer, the wisdom in you "And ye shall know the Truth And the truth shall make you free" Free from: Your feeble existence, That is bound to believes, Which never achieved So now, pray and kneel! Free from: Your mindless fellowship Can`t you see, I am redeeming thee? From where do you take The self-imposed right To speak in the name Of unknown high powers? This cannot be The way of a creator This must be The way of a traitor Killing to the sound of trumpets Is Righteousness Stealing in the name of the lord Is Justice Redeemed by truth Raping the minds of millions Is Guidance Glorifying their ignorance Is Strength Redeemed by Truth 8. He, Who Stands Behind The Rows No guardian angel And no healing saint But a pofane demon And a reckless beast Fill black blood into clear water Poisoning the womb Bring down the upheaval They will never return to the fold He, who stands behind the rows And he, who burns a thousand thrones His seed is hate, his harvest is death ...and power Decisions over death and life Made in the blink of an eye Carving wounds that never heal `cause dead flesh cannot feel Turning the skies and the rivers Into a formless crimson red You drown your tears in shallow water You will never be the same again The End - A shattered world -Dystopia Marked by the absence of love The End - Earth torn apart -Tyrannia A reign in glory and tragedy Necroculto – Bass, Vocals (backing) I.
