Undying light / frightfull laugh Unspoken might / unequal fight I was fast asleep / it was that night I felt into it so deep / then I saw the light Far beyond this world / a whole new lies The secret I ve been told / I saw it with my eyes Dangerous eyes gleamed like fire Unending lies unfullfilled desire I had the intent to express my innocence I am endless I am fearless Too many answers only one matters The downfall is imminent, ruthless ignorance You remind me of times long past Fear within me grew really fast I feel so cold inside memory came to me Matter of pride. Anger runs thorugh me So we have parted unseeing unchanged Who s defeated? Who eliminated Dangerous fire burns within me I am endless I am fearless The downfall is imminent, ruthless ignorance Total darkness / I feel so empty Death and silence / is this remedy?

Art of Sin Chasing shadows Before fire Illusions follow The ghost of many tears Once again today Forever withdrawn Is this the way Is this the way Words never spoken Truth lives in insanity Secrets always forgotten Stand up to your entity The memory is very deep I will get through this Enchanted sleep Sin becomes an art inside it Crawling screaming I stand before doubt Can t stop shivering No life is ever lost This is my comfort What I like most What I like most Is your pure cruelty I am still afraid of you My enemy is here I wish I knew Is the end near No life is is ever lost This is my comfort What I like most Is your magic oath Chasing shadows Before fire Illusions follow The ghost of many tears Words never spoken Truth lives in insanity Secrets always forgotten Stand up to your entity 6. Lucifer over London (Originally performed by Current 93 in 1994) The twisted wings and clouds unfold And the great page of He who feel Makes arkened shadows / over pointed spires Little children point and sign And little children run and dance Over the setting sun Oh over the setting sun Lucifer over London And under that the silent stars And under that the weeping sky And under her the laughung world Balance sits / in western parts / and piles spare Spares In his / gabled room Lucifer over London Great Anarch and Monarch of not The flight of Lucifer over London And my little grandson Wrinkled son forehead All tiny blue pain The mother Blood emerges Then the mother grief And the blue gates of Death Open armwide Open teethwide Lucifer over London All dead like the leaves Old time shiver Old dead calendar / past / blurred / sunsets / cinders flying In his heart / his heart / his fingers Punch holes in the sky All the little Christs I count Lucifer over London All the little Christs I call Laughing through the green green fields Some of these angels have the face of God Some of them the face of dogs By the tower of Moab See the sky s green angel form Lucifer lickers all around me His hooded eyes alight Look into him just a little longer See the true face of the+moon So he weels there / through the heavens His eyes as dotted brightlights Licked with lust A golden seabird Half dead with spray His banners / are / broken / flags in the wind Devouring life / he / breaks at walls Lucifer over London The glint of dead fruits glint And then the moon+ And then the moon+ And then the moon+ 7.

Khronos Origin of time / the face of old flesh Crumbles the earth / my feet and brain Collapsing into measures / of nature s killing liberty Lights gone an empty house / should be filled of empty pain The cold dark night becomes scary soon In the light of a young moon A thorn in my soul your face fade away Awake like an owl for salvation I pray And shining flames / burning the night sky Until you / who walk among the liking Touch the overbearing / fall on the crushed In the light of a young moon The cold dark night becomes scary soon A thorn in my soul your face fade away Awake like an owl for salvation I pray He who sleeps in the embrace of not Shall carry the thorns of carrion souls He who rules the flesh of the pigs With an oral smile shall pray on fools Tough the overweening / fall on the crushed Blind eyes of old light / pigs shall rule The flesh of kings / devoured for six nights The sky is empty set / a golden snake crumbles the earth Her feet and brain / the face of old flesh Like an empty light house / hiding the cold flesh Snow is falling through / the living is gone Then the memory / of old fear is upon Rushes sordid through / winged black images Who shall build / an empty sky Same as the origin / of your face Origin of time / origin of time 10.

Time Stands Still Time stands still Like a sad young boy Staring the ground Making no sound Time stands still He refuses to walk Talking through the lie Just tryig to die Time stands still But why move When I am not warm Till I taste blood Time stands still Like a small blond girl Just playing dead Her throat is red Time the eternal meaning of pain / the only creature to stay Silent emperor in my dreams / take my soul and strip it Time stands still Holding his breath Begging for a death But she is deaf Time stands still He can wait as I Kill time and feel Until you spill still Time stands still Like I wait for you Like you are here When dawn is near Time stands still Has embraced my life Living in the ground Doesn t make a sound Time stands still But why move When you are not cold Yet to unfold from a pill Time stands still And he knows I will Wait till you you re shown For the perfect dawn you feel Silent emperor in my dreams Time stands still Like a sad young boy Staring the ground Making no sound or a kill Time stands still He refuses to walk Talking through the lie Just tryig to die he will Time stands still But why move When I am not warm Till I taste blood from a kill Time stands still Like a small blond girl Just playing dead Her throat is red but she feels Silent emperor in my dreams Time stands still Holding his breath Begging for a death But she is deaf and real Time stands still He can wait as I Kill time and feel Until you spill your thrill Silent emperor in my dreams 12. Glory of Sadness I was straight asleep / it was that night I felt into it so deep / then I saw this light You ve been there / I can only tell Suddenly scare / your fear I smell Past dressed in blue / blue of silence I wish I knew / the depth of ignorance The wind was whistling / a great new song I started wondering / saw before long I sank into darkness / no strength left in me I found nakedness / nothing else to see The glory of sadness / death for death The arrow of madness / the target is myself Vague thoughts torture my head / you raise your veil you raise your name Always fight never fear / cold dark night the battle is near I sensed danger caught in a trap / it took an instant the struggle was sharp I remember what you had said / the challenger will prevail I remember what you had said / the challenger will prevail I was straight asleep / it was that night I felt into it so deep / then I saw this light Far beyond this world / a new one lies A seret I ve been told / I saw it with my eyes You ve been there / I can only tell Suddenly scare / your fear I smell Past dressed in blue / blue of silence I wish I knew / the depth of ignorance
