Ketzer Starless (ep) 1. Starless Dark skies - You don't look up Secrets - You don't ask why The flame burns, the world turns, the waves rise You shut your ears from the noise that comes from deep inside Your heartbeat against your chest! It all starts here Silence and sound What is the earth? A little fire to the black sky A little fire to your whirlwind life to Light the minds and shut the mouths Stand still, breathe and set A little fire to the right books A little fire to the wrong men We are Starless - What is this world? Starless - We are the eyes, we are Starless - What is this world? Starless - We are blind Rejoin, rejoin with stars Destroy, destroy the below Rejoin, rejoin with your heart Embrace, embrace the inbetween Void with a form So pitchblack the night The light is between the stars in us And there are words inside as there are worlds entwined It's you and I - We are one pulse The rhythm of the universe Starts beating here We're all of them Eyes of the earth We're the fire to the black sky We're the fire to your whirlwind life to Be with beasts and water We're whole, our hands bare A little fire to the right books A little fire to the wrong men We are Starless - What is this world? Starless - We are the eyes, we are Starless - What is this world? Starless - We are blind... 2. When Milk Runs Dry Stop waiting at the window, mother There will be no return Just like the wind took the seeds away You knew you'd have to cut The blades, the bonds, the wire The notion of yourself And as the wind took the seeds away I have become the streams Das Messer schneidet tief ins Fleisch My blood feeds the earth Das Messer schneidet tief ins Fleisch When hearts grow wild We're of the same blood The death of a child Your love is a punch, pull, death and a cry When milk runs dry 3. Godface Come on! Shake your hips and bite your lips I am now a thousand of you Come with me and bare your teeth Your eyes are white like the dust Of your bones and your beat up skulls My mouth is an open gate To sing songs of the universe To play tunes of the spheres of the spheres of the Godface! Godface! You and I we're one as one Godface! Godface! Reaching out for the desert sun, come on! Bury your heals and beat your thighs And touch my wooden skin with your Hands in the air and your face to the sky We'll see an eye for an eye I am you and we are one One voice, to cry out bud We'll sing songs of the universe We'll play tunes of the spheres of the spheres of the Godface! Godface! You and I we’re one as one Godface! Godface! Reaching out for the desert sun Godface! Godface! Your eyes are open wide Godface! Godface! You and I we’re one as one We're high above and deep below One voice, one tongue! From mountaintops and black earth holes One voice, one tongue! We're star chasers, dream hunters One voice, one tongue! We’re the earthbound child and the fleshless god, we've got One voice, one tongue, one throat One mouth to sing tunes of the spheres of the spheres of the Godface! Godface! You and I we're one as one Godface! Godface! Reaching out for the desert sun Godface! Godface! Your eyes are open wide Godface! Godface! You and I we're one as one, come on! 4. Count To Ten No place No home No light Black marks on white No place - The great planes No home No light - In darkness I will become One, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight, nine, Ten thousand specks of dust Ten thousand worms Ten thousand blades of grass Endless - The winding path My earthbound flesh won't last A lifetime goes by so fast In the flickering light I close my eyes As the years go by, go by... This prayer is a six branched tree Read aloud! Shout out! Mouth to mouth! Ear to ear! Lip to lip! To the spheres of eternity Not a song for the dead but for those Who are willing to live 'til the end of time Water carves the stone And I stand alone, I stand alone… Beside the six branched tree Read aloud! Shout out! Mouth to mouth! Ear to ear! Lip to lip! To the spheres of eternity 5. The Hunger [Instrumental] 6. White Eyes This place is the darkest inkblot On these pages of starfilled nights My eyes, always open But I'm blind, so blind This room it is filled with you And serpentine mistakes My mouth is always open The hunger, the hunger White Eyes Black Heart Take a long breath To tell tales of the stones and the wind Outside is the dream and the fall From the edge of the world to an ultimate end Inside the mothers' heart The greatest gift of them all of them all of the Knife and the blade that cut away Like sunbeams' light through green Shine black the rays through white eyes On the pathways To the feather of the fowl To the worm's tail On the deer's hoof To the sky and the earth And the stardust in between To the worm's tail And the boar's teeth That dig through truth 7. Shaman's Dance Pour blood into fire The pounding of drums, the heaving crowd Screams getting louder Like beats of the heart Up and down, left and right, no center to turn around Dismember me, oh journey of a million forms! Treading into the Nightworld Lightly though fast Leaving behind the threshold The word that won't last Up and down, left and right, no center to turn around Mother - Open my eyes Father - Close them again Mother - Take me to light The center and the other side My hands and my arms and my fingers are crossed I open my mouth and it's gaping with lust Uncertain life but certain death Dancing the dance on the carpets of sweat Entangled in trance I am your most wicked dreams Wet with life from the eclectic streams Come on, feel and see the horror of the shaman's dance Join in the humming sounds And feel the wicked love for death and life Take my tongue and Cut my thumbs, bark and howl Eat the earth Two becomes four, the beast it turns Up and down, left and right, no center to turn around I'm the shape shifter, I’ll turn spirit and matter to one! Break through the circle Stand still like a rock Though I am here and there Silence and sound The place between time I have found Up and down, left and right, my center to turn around Four becomes two and two becomes one The journey will end at the places unseen High, so high to the truth in between Death and life, up and down Follow the path to the heart of the world I dance to the sky and leap up the clouds Dig through the dust and onwards I go Up and down, left and right To the center and the other side 8. Silence And Sound [Instrumental] 9. Earthborn Earth to earth, moon to moon Locked eyes As the sun rises There's a cry before the cry Like the shot of a gun before the bullet arrives But it arrives Like seeds grow in soil And there's a cry before the cry When you know that you're alive, ‘cause you are Earthborn - You are all You are not mine but I am thine Earthborn - You are the dark blue sea I am of you and you're of me Closer Come Closer “Thou art the dark blue bird and the green parrot with red eyes. Thou hast the lightning as thy child. Thou art the season and the seas. Having no beginning, thou dost abide with immanence, whereof all things are born.” [Excerpt from the Upanishads] A heart of salt A crystal tongue And eyes of gold The tidal one Far away, far away But we're here and we hear Down from the skies to your Rivers and your hills Calls the cry before the cry The call of life, you are Earthborn - You are all You're not mine but I am thine Earthborn - You are the dark blue sea I am of you and you're of me 10. Limbo A guest without a host In a prison without bars With a key that locks The eyes And freezes the blood And opens the eyes And heats the blood No sky above No ground below But a sign in between that reads Limbo David: bass Sören: drums Chris: guitars Marius: guitars Gerrit: vocals
