Echoes and Artifacts

The Crüxshadows( Cruxshadows ) Echoes and Artifacts Lyrics
1.Eurydice

A focused voice reigns down, like a firestorm!
You know what you must do.
Venture down into the underworld,
To prove that love is true.

Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
The world has grown so cold!
Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
My love I'm losing hold...

If my voice won't move the Ferrymen,
On my affections alone I'll cross.
Then stare into the eyes of, Death Eternal,
No matter what the cost.

Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
The world has grown so cold!
Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
My love I'm losing hold...

Sacrifices and the light,
That leads me here, through this night.
As vision breaks, the world grows dim.
Persephone, argue my case to him!
I'll take his word. No looking back!
The bridge we cross; I will not look.
And her footsteps I do not hear.
Is she far behind me, or standing near?

Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
The world has grown so cold!
Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
My love I'm losing hold...

Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
Now, that my dreams turn black!
Eurydice, don't follow me! (Don't follow me...)
There'll be no looking back...


2.Monsters v2.0

Hide the window watching
Give hands that push the faces back
Shiver in the alleys
And dying in the cold
Little hands and little faces
What are you running from?
They're creeping on your satin sheets
And dancing in your nightmare

Watching at the window
The ledge which we provide
There's someone up above me
There's someone scratching softly
Little monsters in the chimney
All black and stained with soot
Come creeping to my bedroom
And lead me here to sleep

Dancing in your darkness
Dancing in your fear
Forgetting all your hidden monsters
Shedding all your tears


3.Marilyn, My Bitterness v2.0

I don't understand how you've done
these things to me
I cannot comprehend your lack
of loyalty
for you I would have shaken down the
heavens from the sky
but it seems my love was stronger than
this love of yours that died

Did you think it wouldn't hurt?
did you think I wouldn't feel
when the world came falling down?
or maybe you didn't think at all
and that's why I feel what I feel now
did you think I wouldn't fall?
did you think I wouldn't cry?
did you think I wouldn't beg you to stay?
one of these days you'll realize
just what you've thrown away

now I lie here in this empty bed
and all I think about is you
and I wonder if you miss me now
and if your bed is empty too

(bridge)

Marilyn, my bitterness
I've fallen to a stranger nightmare
Marilyn, oh Marilyn
I cannot... find my way/ break away

I'll absorb this agony
I'll carry all this pain
I'll wipe away this emptiness
I'll purify this stain
My wings will fold around me now
for once a one was two
and my memory is a monument
that will always stand for you

(bridge)

(chorus)

now must I go away?


4.Crop Circles


5.Ballrooms on Mars

You're gonna look fine
You're primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All over the trembling planes
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And the wind and cars
And people of the past

I'll call you thing
Just when the moon sings
And place your things you stole
Upon every star
And gripped in the arms
Of the changeless madman and
We'll dance our lives away
In the Ballrooms of Mars

You talk about day
I'm talkin 'bout night time
When monsters call out
The names of men
Bob Dylan knows
And I bet Alan Freed did
There are things at night
That are better not to behold

You dance
With your lizard leather boots on
And pull the strings
That change the faces of men
You diamond browed hag
You're a gutter- gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
And I've seen him
I've seen him


6.The Dying Song

Dear angel
Where are your warming wings tonight?
It's so cold outside
Won't you hold me for a while
And angel
I feel alone and un-alive
The night is frozen
And these tears have stung my eyes

Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing ever stays the same

So angel
I feel so numb and so far away
I can see myself on the pavement where I lay
Oh angel
Why do I stare so?
What do I see?
Why do these lifeless eyes look that way back at me?

Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing under heaven stays the same

Dreams may pass and dreams may fade
Nothing I love will stay the same
Nothing ever stays the same


7.Leave Me Alone (Shaft 20/20 Mix)

Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
they stare at me all in black
and when I turn they stare at my back
all these things can't,
all these things don't...
let me go.
Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
and I don't want to be part of your world
and I don't want to see the things you see
can't you understand how I feel?
can't you let me be?

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone


8.Here Comes the Rain Again

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Here comes the rain again
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open winds
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?

Baby, talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Here comes the rain again
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
I want to breathe in the open winds
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you?

Baby, talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do

(Sometimes I just need you to hold me)

Baby, talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do


9.Cruelty (Cruel Vocal)

Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
Falling emotion, the blind now lead the blind,
We commit indiscretions, and omit our sins from sight,
In a world of intangibles, too many things seem right

No hand to scribe of sinking sickness I have seen,
No face to judge until you've been the monster I have been,
To hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
My hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.

Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my immanence
Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my innocence
from me

Mother of motion, the eyes can't capture time,
Falling emotion, the blind now...the blind now lead the blind,
To hunger is noble, where beauty is silent sleep,
My hunger is noble, but my pain is driven deep.

Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my immanence
Your cruelty and consequence cannot eliminate this relevance
Your selfishness, your hatefulness cannot take away my innocence
from me


10.Bloodline v2.0

Drag down - feel this fatal heart beat
So deep - like the pound, pound, pounding industry
Cry out - I heard you slowly waking
Drowned out and slowly making back the writhing line

They cut the bloodline in the center
And injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline, they left it wanting
Feeding on this youth's remains

And she goes

Give me the life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me your life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me the blood
Give me the blood

Fall out - that they left here from the time before
Fall down - this throb, throb, throbbing core
Reach out - but the words are so empty
Fold in and the edges fade to black

They cut the bloodline in the center
And injected this hated strain
They cut the bloodline, they left it wanting
Feeding on this youth's remains

But we go

Give me the life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me your life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me the blood
Give me the blood

They take away...the very breath...to see it here and make it
hurt
They want to feel this inside out...when all of you have hope to
doubt
They want to try it in this soul...to drink it free and cut it
whole
A sacrifice you will not give...you must not try...you will not
live
Lighting whole...the light inside...you want to find the very
high...
Bloodline

Give me the life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me your life - give me your love
Give me your innocence - give me the blood
Give me the blood
Give me the blood

They try this fight...to make it free and dance inside this
entropy
They view the cut...they fight the run to break it and fall
there undone...
They're looking hard...the final dead...another face they cut it
red...
They want to fight...they want to see...to capture you...
For eternity...
For eternity...


11.Täuschung (Deception auf Deutsch)

Sie weint,
Wie kinder oefters auch,
Wenn sie frieren und hungrig auch
Komm naeher..
Schau' tief in ihre augen so weit, ganz ungleich ihrem laecheln
Leben haftet rueckwaerts an
In dem fall des schrecklichen verlierens noch diese stille
Zerfrisst auch deine fingerspitzen
Kalter langer atem hat schon fuer sofortigen platz
Viel besser als der preis des zweifels

Doch bleibt dort, noch bleibt dort

Und sie sagt
Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Leben haftet rueckwaerts an
In dem fall des schrecklichen verlierens noch diese stille
zerfrisst auch deine fingerspitzen
Kalter langer atem fuer sofortigen platz
Viel besser als der preis des zweifels

Doch bleibt dort, noch bleibt dort

Und sie sagt
Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung

Bete auf tageslicht,
Bete auf morgen,
Bete auf ein ende zu unserer tauschung...
