1. Intro
[music: helmersson]
[instrumental]
2. Serpentkiss
[music: sanga/bergius | lyric: barthold]
She hurt so bad, still I welcome her with open arms
Her eyes so green - Turns black in the dark
My heart infected with a serpentkiss
My heart infected, the reptile she is
She crawls me all over with the coldest stare
Eyes blackened like the colour of her hair
So fall and rise, fall and rise
Bring me down and cover my eyes
My heart infected with a serpentkiss
My heart infected, the reptile she is
3. The King Of Crows
[music: sanga | lyric: barthold]
Out in the wastelands they circled above
On that cold Septemberday
Had a good taste of evil and contempt
The scapegoat never gets away
Crown the king of crows
Crowned by misery
Crown the king of crows
The wretch on a throne
And their fangs dug deep into him
King of sundown, prince of the weak
The small bitches stung hard I can tell
'Cause the crow, that's me
Crown the king of crows...
Wanted to feel somekind of love
He found it nowhere
Where is the shelter of God
He found it nowhere
Crown the king of crows...
4. Swansong
[music: sanga/barthold | lyric: barthold]
[part I: The Gallery]
In this frustration - Mistake upon mistake
A chill inside that haunts me
My reflection in your gallery
In my reflection - Who are you in flesh depicted?
A face I'll only use for a while
These words without sound
These words echoes in me
The guilt weights heavy within
Beneath the skin and bones
There's someone telling me
Break the mirror and set me free
These words without sound
These words echoes in me
[part II: Quietus Of A Butterfly]
When the music has stopped
And lights are low
Will you turn your back on me?
Hate me for what I know?
'Cause I know, I know,
I swear you're there with me in my dreams
You're a poison running through my veins
a wound that just won't heal inside
'Cause I know, I know,
I swear you're there with me in my dreams
My butterfly sing for me
My butterfly drink me deep
Want to fly free but no wings will carry me
5. Through Your Veil
[music: sanga | lyric: barthold]
The fragments of me, a tragedy
Brought to humankind in
this decadens of out time
A dying breed an death is in me
From decay an art was created
Wont you let it shine you through
Can you feel the velvet to your skin?
Can you feel the dust in you eyes?
I can see through your veil
'Cause what I lost is what I found
She looks into the light
Remember all those times
From decay an art was created
Wont you come and follow me through
Can you feel...
The beauty of decadens I bring to you
What you think of as beautiful
depends on from which view
Can you feel...
6. Intermission
[music: helmersson]
[instrumental]
7. Green Light Attraction
[music: bergius/barthold | lyric: barthold]
Through these waters - Down we go
My green light attraction - In a world unknown
Sheltered in the ocean - The tide takes me far
Rips the bluish vision as the fire gets my heart
Down on me, like you were before - Down on me
And I take you down beneath - Where I bring you back your sleep
I give you double the pleasure in stainless steel
Sun cast the wings that never learned to fly
Over the surface of this ocean - In which we're bound to lie
Wy tounge works with the water - Sea-green light attraction
And as we all the time sink further down
Of body and mind we are contradiction
Down on me...
8. Of Love And Lust
[music: sanga | lyric: barthold]
With a leather smile you embraced me
A taste of wine as you suck me in
The tenderness of the cunning snake
A chain of gold that crawls your skin
In the night I am your dawn
To illuminate your heart
The incense licks the walls
Into the exquisite, torn apart
Enshrouded in the blackest lace
Sweat and blood stain your lips
Flowers falls to the enchanting sounds
of music brought to life
The strings played on are the ones
between the two of us tied
Enshrouded in the blackest lace
Sweat and blood stain your lips
Lie down and close your eyes
Deliver yourself to ecstasy
Of ove and lust - Until the dawning of day
Of lve and lust - Here's a new night's ache
Let it go, just let it flow - Ride the morning sun
Seductive sense of never having enough
Ride the mourning son
Of love and lust...
9. A Memory Of You
[music & lyric: barthold]
To come back to you, oh, sweet days - Wild with the scent of sin
By the tombs of Pharaohs - We rode the desert
Back to these days again
Where we would feel the sun nailed to our skin
Back to these days of youth
With life for me and you
As I remember it all starts flowing - Like a rain that runs through me
All I ever wanted to have - All the things she brought to me
Back to these days of youth
With life for me and you
And I am lost in a memory of you
10. Her Sinister Emanation
[music: sanga/barthold | lyric: barthold]
So calm and peaceful in putrescence she lies
Her flesh like petals spread around for flies
Under the sun glowing yellow and red
Beauty and corruption upon her funeral bed
Her sinister emanation
Bring me honey and nectar - from the garden of delight
Fruit and blossom come out tonight
With flowers in bloom and sweet summerdays
Shall you be alike this filth in decay
See how everything is ment to be
See how everything in the end grows weak
I am yours in sickness and in suffering
