Второго дня во сне остановилось сердце, но я продолжал жить.

02 Der Brandtaucher

Eyerything within me turns rapist
Everything turns saint
The spit and the blood
And your longing for god
Have lost all meaning now

And i offered yself to the night
In a spray of blossoms red and white
And i took my seat among the depraved
Like a choir boy
like a returning faith

A race of demons
A race of thieves
Is asking for shelter
Is waiting for me
For we love to betray
In bursts of grief and laughter
For we servants must answer
The call of the blood today

Does that make you sufficient unto yourself?

03 Das Feuerordal

Swear never to be gentle
To always be unkind
For love is hard to handle
For love will rob you blind
The burnden of saintliness
The temptation to kneel
The mute fear of being caught
In vapours of sin

We who sing of the void
We who burn with love
So strangely plaintive
So Strangely complete
In a few drunken hours
in a few hasty words
From our watering mouths
lose all we came here for

if you were mine
i'd blush a little and die


05 Wir Gotter Der Stadt

A submission so sweet
A slient pact sealed
And it was in its shade
That i buried myself

Trembling like a thief
Nothing concealed
Not my hideous shame
Not the angst i felt

We are all weeping
Cause we can't undo the lie
Not with a word
Not with the bunk of an eye

We are all weeping
Cause we can't break away
Not without getting hurt
Not without leading astray

I'll state my case
I won't go down
You've lost your face
Now you're afer mine
Are you turning time
Over to use?
Over to use?
Swear never to frown
Upon the things we left
Behind

Now and again
These walls are shaking
Now and again
These walls are shaking
Now and again
These walls are shaking us in two

We are waving stealthy goodbyes
For we know we have faled you
You would not ever break the ties
Nor the code,now,would you?

I'll rest my case
I won't go down
You've lost your face
Now you're turning on mine
Are you handing time
Over to use?
Over to use
Swear never to drown
The things we loe
They're all gone
For we lef those things behind

Would you embrace
What is left to me ?
Ever embrace what is left to be?
Would you Embrace
What is left of me now?


06 Die Nelke

We are drifting along without remembering
We are merely strangling shadows
We are morose, we are pathetic,we are done
look at us now - We are kneeling
look at us now - are we kneeling?

When we should be weeping with rage
Or at least be rattling our chains
look at us now - we are over

We remain outside the circles
Watching them turn
When we are left with nothing to give
Nothing to overcome or conquer

History smells of traitor
History smells of whore
It's flowing in our veins
it's oozing out through our pore

Wir sterben Stehend-zwischen den stuhlen

You who mistook love for boredom
You who have no self-control
You who confuse talking with breathing
what do you know of the lives we're leading?

History smells of traitor
History smells of whore
And yet again it pours death from he skies.
For a sunless life

07 Der Erscheinungen Flucht

We echo death
We echo pride
Odour colour and sound
Of the ones who fell from grace
Those who fell away
And all the trinkets unbound

This is a lover
An anguished memory
This is a warning
we fall
As servants fall
In stone gardens

Your pride Should be a lighter thing
An easy thing
A cheerful thing
Our solitude Growing obese
We stay and fall

A rose for the vanquished
A kiss on the neck
To be hanged
We're all doubled up with love
A traitor's love
A guardian's love

Rejoice at this
Loneliness
This imperishable craving for hopelessnes
It's hard to live on what they feed you here
It's hard to live on what they feed us

It's murder and treason
In this dead-ripe season
The leaves are falling all around
And it's hard to believe in
Some sort of meaning
In a world that' turing
Round and round
And everybody's turning
Round and Round
And everybody's leaving
Everybody's kneeling
When all that's left to want
Is one good reason
One good reason
For this to be left to doubt

08 Die Brandstifter

You sent for me to punish me
But i'm not yours to save
I never asked for the answer you gave
Are you trying to find
Something pure,something fragile?
Your hopes are stiff with filth

I refuse all gifts
For yours are scented with envy
Go take refuge in the fields
Go nurse your longing indarkness
Are you hoping to find
Something cruel,Something sacred
Your hopes are stiff with filth

You admire the lions
You despise all sheep
But following lions
Makes nothing but sheep
You are all bending in the wind

09
Kriegsgotter

This age spat a race of snakes
This age unleashed
The sirens and the bells
And filled our mouths
With a leaden unclean sweetness
We have turned so numb
Can't muster hate
When we are not one
We find no way to take revenge
When god is such a painful idea

We do not sleep
We guard by betrayal
Like wolves avoiding the pack
When passion flees
Faith must endure

When all is lost
When the bells cool off
Will you be faithful?
Will all masks come off?
Will our master break
The mould in time?

Unleash the sirens and the bells
And you will find that
It's all corrupted
People and things alike

Neue erinnerung

Our cause so weet and bitter
has lost its hard blood guiter
it remains afloat on the waves
when anger fills our sails
mutinous for the space of a second
you prayed and feared and beckoned
now your heart is pounding away
just like mine

Should i accept this out of kindness?
should i reject it out of shyness?
your sleep is stabbed by dreams
just like mine
Should i accept this out of kindness?
should i reject it out of shyness?
your gift so pure and sweet
unlike mine

To thank you for what you've brought
we lure you close enough for a sword
and just for a little while
i betray you without guile
your secret prayer scattering the smoke
made you squeal made us hide the rope
now all fear all hope is gone
like the moon and the stars and the sun
