Beyond Dawn Revelry 1. Love's (Only) True Defender It's about time you caught up with me Or should I say I caught up with you Anyway it was inevitable Love's sweet aroma leaves quite a trace Too bad it doesn't last It never has, it never will It just can't last Damn (why can't it last?) Step down Let my hollowness embrace you Step down And my emptiness corrupt you Do I ever get lonely? There's only one of us left now What do you think? Of course there's always old Mr. Hate Not too much company in him after the apocalypse Too bad "travel" is not part of my vocalbulary Step down Let my hollowness embrace you Step down And my emptiness corrupt you 2. Tender First, let's start with a catastrophy A deceiving yet gentle disharmony When silence turns into an odyssey A hazardous flight through anatomy And the listener starts thinking "Is this where I want to be Is not this music luring and pulling me Deep down into a space where I have no ability To withstand unconsciousness and futility" It makes him feel oh so tender It makes him feel oh so soft It makes him curl up inside And spend all the love that he never got Second, when we are done with the cowardly Who evidently had no shred of dignity We start with the naked and foolhardy And force him to utter addictively "Why is my God lying and cheating me? Is there no end to this forcefed hypocrisy? Is it I or he who has got the best of me? That is served with this religious monogamy" It makes him feel oh so tender It maked him feel oh so soft It makes him curl up inside And spend all the love he never got (This is how the slightest disharmony turns into a lucid disharmony) 3. Resemblance now i don't love you i just want your to feel like I was always there like the bliss of what you want the most i'm not your friend, i'm merely a ghost when magic has entered your veins i'll swim in your blood and when you feel like a queen i'll sleep in the mud with the taste of your lips deceiving my brain, like all that's beautiful, like all that's insane now i'm drifting helpless through cold bright pictures in a deep brown river through talking insects and they sting their faces are kind ignorance enthusiasm side by side and i know you're somewhere inside this open wound i want to hurt you now, will i see you soon? now i'm drifting helpless through cold bright pictures in a deep brown river through talking insects and the sting yeah they sting their faces are kind ignorance, enthusiasm side by side 4. Stuck now as the evening steals the sun i claim the air inside your lungs and you have killed your heart in vain now i'm your freedom, i'm insane your selfish beauty wants to live into this ocean, you won't breathe here a homesick child with leaking eyes where's the sun? am i blind? it's growing deep between your thighs it's so meaningless and its mine sweet, sweet, sweet buried in your bloody conscience so deep the mild unconsciousness of time left the future behind it pushed our luck into the ground with the memories and the sounds of screaming children kept in shrines like our love and love is blind it slipped our hands, but it got stuck in our minds sweet, sweet relief buried in your bloody conscience so deep 5. Three Steps For The Chameleon (How To Seduce Modesty) I'm clean trust me I'm overwhelmed by your radiance please save me come let me hear you say we kissed on the first of may strong, i'm strong I'm the strongest there is I'll never miss a heartbeat I'll never waste a kiss don't try to denay you raped me on the first of july use me, just use me feed me, I'm greedy abandon me, never leave me please remember you drowned me on the first september 6. I Am A Drug welcome to clarity this is your mind speaking regret we ever met i'm here i will let you forget you bore me like dignity so this is your love leaking like the blood of a dying dream through the holes of an empty sea remember the taste in your mouth when you swallowed your only wishes and remember the beautiful world that always denied your kisses and the frightening freedom to change that i sheltered you from in my cold lonely hands they embraced your drunken body at night and you wonder killed your plans now i am a drug but you may pretend that your eyes are clear and your senses are true and your mind is a faithful friend 7. Breathe The Jackal Ten thousand bodies entangled in a strange room A formless struggle leaves a question of demise And as a handful of lies is a weapon As dignity confused with pride Tie me up and let the dogs in This kind of sympathy attracts me no longer This kind of tenderness suits me no more Designed to harvest, I feed on tamed warmth Constructed envy, I've adapted a cold Tie me up and let the dogs in 8. Life's Sweetest Reward will love leave you senseless attached to your dreams in your bittersweet, selfish aroma paint you hysterical with your ideals in your own erotic coma will love leave you trembling alone in your bed caressed by your skin and your body scared of the lights of future sunsets regretting you ever had memory? will love turn your shyness into verbal disgrace unable to lie or invent as pride equals pain, you harden your face your lips never spoke what they meant will love paint your eyes red consuming their faces hoping they would understand you watch as they're fading into different places still wishing you were one of them? 9. Chains Your love is drowning me Your love is strangling me Deny my right to breathe Deny me my feeble existence I despise your love I despise your strokes of tenderness Pity love Salute the lack of emotion And let me feel the chains I can feel the chains pour down Pity love Salute lack of emotion 10. Phase To Phase How long in this eternal shell How many dreams will end How many ponderings in existence How many moments of reflection How many frightful words How many distant glances How many shrugging doubts How numerous are your debts?
