Throes Of Dawn Quicksilver Clouds 1. Vertigo Take me down Into your black grotto Where the air is thick with insects Touch me with your secret I close my eyes And let the vertigo Touch my mind I close my eyes And let your vertigo Destroy my mind I'll follow you into the land of the insects Where tumors blossom Like roses of the old earth (One for each to pick) I close my eyes And let the vertigo Touch my mind I close my eyes And let your vertigo Destroy my mind I'll lie down Onto the sour, filthy ground And crawl with the insects And share your sickness 2. Hollow Reflection Deeper thoughts unknown to hope lightyears of drowning into the cosmos of the lonely I was lost from your world into the mazes of delusion into the vast halls of the Night Did you see me enter the rooms of the night Did you see me enter your fragile dreams Violent visions in a broken mind Feed me with illusions Attire me with your darkness Under the rain of falling knives I see you lying there open in the ruins of the dying future Did you see my hollow reflection Did you sense my fathomless void I saw myself there, In a sudden, feverish moment watching your lifeless body in a cold future morning... 3. Transcendence Your warmth is false Inside your hollow bosom You'll hide the solitude Of the distant stars In your party none celebrates Grey autumn transcendence Minutes turn into oblivion Our voices to mould Your hangman smile My soul in your hands I drink from your breasts Grey autumn solitude And I can see through your eyes It's time to go And I can see through your smile It's time to go All those long dead hours Frequent time stops Minutes turn into oblivion Our voices to mould Drowned wasps floating in the chalice of the sweet nectar all those beautiful moths eaten by flies in this bizarre carnival of a life-lasting funeral Grey autumn Play your lyre For one last time 4. Black Carbon Snow The sun looks down from his high astral sphere and pours down below Its sad bacterial light Upon this infection Wounds of world burning All the names that travel to void in the fields of carbon snow Where the youth turns to stone Where bodies and dreams Are material for the dust material for Silence Under the fermenting sky Under the rain of carbon witness the cold world choke her children And hide their bodies below Down to the infected ground Where the old nightmares hibernate Under black carbon snow (Where the youth turns to stone under black carbon snow) 5. Quicksilver Clouds The hand that smothers all dreams Can never be lifted From your tormented lips Flew the infinity of pain Cut down the voice And let the echoes rise To those dark clouds above That hate our freedom Before the arrival Of the final Silence You wished for the bright, liquid fire The coldest silver Like the purifying rain To take you away To take you away Down in your pit Where your broken body lies I stare into your silence Your eyes reflect the sky Far away Out of your reach Those quicksilver clouds 6. Hyperion Grey clouds of slumber Move across the ether Bury us under their lead Fill our veins With oblivion's wine Above Hyperion smiles I remember the sun in your hair The wind on our skin Descending of the void Now broken The spell of beauty Within the blankets of the soil Dreamers dream of void Never break The Silence of our Night Above Hyperion smiles I remember the sun in your hair The wind on our skin Descending of the void 7. The Destroying Angel White flowers of mould decorate your skin (Deterioration of soul I hear you sing) My broken arteries flooded with your sleep Lead me through asphyxia into the white fields of amanita Through sweet sleep of narcosis into the closed rooms of paranoia Lights of the other worlds shine through your open mouth Embrace of the all-absorbing, The Destroying angel The door of future is closing Frail reality failing I hear you sing the song of future failing And I fall through the black hole of your eyes Down into the deepest Theta space And burn through the spheres of a million suns Down into the plateau of my mind Where the shadows are whispering in the dimmest Theta space Where the spell of your destroying touch was crafted with higher mathematics Where the universe is choking Down on your unhealing hands Destroying Angel Devour my thoughts Asphyxia Amanita Narcosis Paranoia 8. Halo Of Flies And all the good people From the streets Came to witness The miracle of death All the children were there Inhaling the foul air Smiling at death In infant glory Their eyes shining Bright and ignorant And the flies were there As a black halo Above the body Of a broken hero Someone said You are so beautiful With a hole in your head And the street became a sealed tomb Filled with your silence The mould built patterns On the surface of your fading eyes Your hands still reaching For the azure sky "Life is a brief drama For the amusement Of the true masters... You will learn To despise your kind... ...For when you fall... We shall all walk over you" 9. Ophelia I lost you to the distance I sealed myself away For nothing you said Could touch me anyway There was something you said Can't remember your words Something about dismay Didn't know what to say I lost your voice In the vacuum of a moment I saw you walk down Into the black hungry waves There was something you said Can't remember your words Something about dismay Didn't know what to say Your bridal gown Lies under the moss I wear my guilt The crown of my shame There was something you said Can't remember your words Something about dismay Didn't know what to say I took all the pills You are no longer here The walls are falling The world slipping away
