The Ocean Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Put Your Hand In The Hand

Lyricist:Gene Maclellan

Put your hand in the hand
Of the man who stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand
Of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and
A you can look at others differently

By puttin' your hand in the hand
Of the man from-a Galilee

Every time I look into the Holy Book
I want to tremble
When I read about the part
Where a carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were
No different fellas than what I profess to be

And it causes me shame to know
I'm not the gal that I should be

Put your hand in the hand

Mama taught me how to pray before
I reached the age of seven

And when I'm down on my knees that's a
When I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life with two kids and a wife
You do must you must do
But he showed me
Enough of what it takes to get you through


2.Neoarchaean

True sorrow doesn't flirt with hope
No matter how great it may be
Hope rises twice as high
But spare me these seekers, leave me in peace

Down with them, down, down, down, down
That which suffers, does never hope
For they will no longer impress me
With all of the solemnity
And with the voice of my greatest days

I call to you my hearth, glorious hope
Wrapped in the cloak of illusions
Come and sit beside me
On the tripod of appeasement
With a whip of scorpions

I chased you if you wish me to believe that
You have forgotten all the grief
Which my short lived repentance caused you
Well, then bring along with you the sublime procession
Hold me up, I am fainting of all the virtues which I offended

And their everlasting atonement's
Yes, good people I order you to burn
On a spade red hot from the fire
And with a little yellow sugar for good measure
To burn the duck of doubt

With its vermouth lips
Which in the melancholy struggle
Between good and evil
Shedding teardrops which are not heartfelt

Creates everywhere, universal emptiness
It is the best thing you can do
Certainly, flesh and bon
You have no reason to blush

But listen to me, I don't invoke your understanding
It would spit blood at the horror you
'Cause better forget all about it
And be consistent with yourselves
There were no constraints there
Whenever I wanted to kill, I killed


3.Rhyacian

Lyricist:Robin Staps

A city of the blind, their vile inhabitants
Abashed by their own lives insignificance
The silent void of cogitations, absence of signification
Committed to burn twice as long and half as bright

We're dashing forward with our eyeballs turned inward
Until the end of time, the human eye staring wide open
Into the horror of the mind shall never ever sleep again
We have awoken from our sleep

Nevermore shall we be unheeding
As the flock of sheep grazing ingenuously
Living blithely, roaming insouciantly, forgetting instantly
every night
I'm swooping with the vast span of my wings

Into the death throes of my memory
The eternal scourge of the human mind
I'm wandering in times which are not mine
Terrified of what I'm about to find

I'm trying to stop the past's rapid flight
I'm wandering in times which are not mine
Lost in between the shit and the shine
The snake of fear creeps into our hearts at night

Subduing every mind at bedtime, what will it take to arrive
And cease trying to stop the past's rapid flight?
How much more do I have to go through
To prove myself that I'm still alive? We are living in pain

The wind of the past will always shake you in the end
We're waiting for the day when we will attain the ability to
forget
For, every day of our lives, the present is painful
The future unknown, the sting of the past is what makes
Every moment unbearable, the future is overgrown


4.Mesoarchaean

Lyricist:Robin Staps

There are moments in life
When man with his louse ridden hair
Casts wild staring looks
At the green membranes of space, for he believes
He hears, somewhere ahead

The wry hoots of a phantom
He staggers and bows his head
What he has heard is the voice of his own conscience
He is determined and alert
And with the speed of a madman he rushes out

Takes the first direction his wold state suggests
And bounds over the rough plains of the wield
But the yellow phantom never loses sight of him
Chasing him with equal speed, sometimes on stormy nights

When legions of winged octopi which look like ravens at a
distance
Hover above the clouds, moving ponderously
Towards the cities of men, there in the dark
Their mission is to warn them on such nights the dark eyed grit

Sees two beings passing by one after another
And wiping a furtive tear of compassion
Which flows out from its frozen eye
It shouts out, 'Yes, certainly he deserves it
It is only justice being done' having said that

He re-assumes his grim attitude and continues to watch
And continues to watch, trembling nervously, the manhunt
The phantom makes a clicking sound with its tongue as if to tell
itself
It's giving up the chase, his is the voice of the condemned

And when its dreadful shrieking penetrates the human heart
Man would prefer to have death as his mom
Than to have remorse as his son, I have seen him
Making for the sea, climbing a jagged promontory

Lashed by the eyebrow of the surge
And flinging himself down, into the waves
The miracle is this, the corpse reappeared the next day
On the surface of the raging sea
Which had brought this flotsam of pale flesh back to the shore

The man freed himself from his body's imprint in the sand
He wrung the water from his drenched hair
The man freed himself from his body's imprint in the sand
Wrung the water from his drenched hair
And silently returned to the way of life


5.Ectasian

Lyricist:Robin Staps

There's a stubble field
On which a black rain falls
There is a tree which
Brown, stands lonely here

There's a hissing wind
Which haunts deserted huts
How sad, this evening
Past the village pond
The gentle orphan, returning home

Still gathers scanty ears of corn
Golden and round
Her eyes are gazing in the dusk
And her throbbing lap awaits
The bridegroom, returning home

Shepherds found the sweet body
Decayed in the bramble bush
A shade, I am remote from somber hamlets

I drank from the woodland well
The silence of God

I can feel the touch of cold steel
Spiders look for my heart
There is a light that fails in my mouth
On my forehead, cold metal forms
Spiders look for my heart
There is a light that fails in my mouth

I drank from the woodland well
The silence of God


6.Palaeoarchaean

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Free man, you shall forever cherish the ocean
The sea is your mirror, you contemplate your soul
In its eternal waves that chafe and roll
Your mind's abyss is bitter as the sea

Both of you live in darkness and in mystery
Man, who has ever plumbed the depths of your being?
Oh sea, who knows your hidden riches
Seeing the secrets you preserve so jealously?

You love to plunge into your image down to the core
Embracing it with eyes and arms, your very heart
Sometimes finds a distraction from its urgent smart
In the wild ocean's untamable roar

Both of you live in darkness and mystery
Man, who has ever plumbed the depths of your being?
Oh sea, who knows your hidden riches
Seeing the secrets you preserve so jealously?

And yet for countless ages you have fought each other
With hands unsparing and with unforebearing breath
Each an eternal foe to his relentless brother
So avid are you both of slaughter and of death

Man and the sea, man and the sea
Man and the sea man and the sea
Eternal wrestlers, man and sea
Unrelenting twins

Man and sea, you have fought each other
Man and sea, with unforebearing breath
Man and sea, eternal wrestlers, man and sea
Man and sea, each an eternal foe to his brother
Man and sea, so avid are you both of fight and death


7.Hadean

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Sitting out the goose step
Of the long march of the Yes-men
As their gold card wielding wives
Are consumed by bitterness

It takes a lifetime to conceive
That your days in the sun are but brief
So they snivel and repeat the echoes
That buzz off every screen

No wonder that the sociopaths
At the top of the human thrash pile
Refer to us as cattle, we are branded
Sold and fatted, we're raised for a purpose

A drear existence on the work farm
And then a quiet death in the nursing barn
'You must pay your dues', cries the humble mind
We're distracted with excuses

Why we can't reach for the stars
And so we never spring to arms to claim back
What's being taken from us here every single fucking day
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, another one cries

We're distracted with excuses
Why we can't reach for the stars
And so we never spring to arms
To reclaim what we are loosing everyday


8.Statherian

Lyricist:Robin Staps

What it means to be fully human
Is to strive to live by ideas and ideals
And not to measure your life by what you've attained
In terms of your desires

But those small moments of integrity
Compassion, rationality because in the end
The only way that we can measure
The significance of our own lives
Is by valuing the lives of others

Fantasies have to be unrealistic
Because the moment, the second
That you get what you seek, you don't
You can't want it anymore

In order to exist
Desire must have its objects perpetually absent
It's not the 'It' that you want
It's the fantasy of 'It'

We are only truly happy
When daydreaming about future happiness
This is why we say
The hunt is sweeter than the kill
Or: be careful what you wish for

Not because you'll get it
Because you're doomed not to want it
Once you do
Living by your wants will never make you happy


9.Calymmian

Lyricist:Robin Staps

What have you done with me?
You ruined everything
And you don't even see
I still can't believe this is real

My mind plays tricks on me
Please wake me up
And say it was just a bad dream

I can't talk, I can't think
I feel dead, all I see is red
I am sick, I can't get up
I see no way out, I need drugs

What have you done with me?
You ruined everything
I bet you don't even see
I want peace

Don't know where to start
I don't wanna feel like this
I'll cut out this heart
Feed it to the pigs

Salvation


10.Eoarchaean

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Where does it come from
And how was it made?
Who died in the process
And who got paid a starvation wage?

Shop cops protect a terrifying place
Willing to serve you 24 hours a day
Slick etiquettes
A great masquerade

Fluorescent tubes illuminate mile long aisles
Aseptic floors, colorful shelves myriads of products
But all their content is the same
Fooled and deceived

Who made us fall for this sham?
Who made us swallow the bait that we need all that shit?
Place your blind faith in every produce
Don't hesitate or inquire, just follow our rules

No one complains, customer is king
Why would you bother, just enter the pin
Who made us fall, fall for the myth
That we would be better off with everything at our fingertips?

No one realized how somewhere along the line
We have surrendered to the great void in our lives
Overwhelmed by the immense selection
Exerted to cover our inanition

Afraid that there's something that we could be missing
We'd pay any price to buy everything
We stand in line and smile
Celebrate the great emptiness of our lives

Celebrate the great emptiness of our lives
Celebrate the great emptiness of our lives
Celebrate the great emptiness of our lives


11.Stenian

Lyricist:Robin Staps

At this time of the year
The skies are mostly gray and overcast
A steady wind blows relentlessly
And time is passing by so fast

Let the rain purge the land, wash it all away
The days are getting shorter
A long white foamy band, my solitary vessel plows
Through the turbid, green water

Looming large, in the distance
Snow topped mountains are drifting by
The whole scenery immersed
In a surreal yellow late afternoon light

I've been here before, I know this scene
There are jellyfish in the foam
And then it all came back to me
How the wind played his gentle game

Nebulized and beguiled me
With your wisps sweet with lemon
And the bruisers on your chin
Spoke the truth about our everything

And spared you a sermon, I've been here before
I know this scene and the waning northern summer light
Reflecting in the freckle of your right eye
The setting sun's last desperate rays
Illuminating this tragic story's grade


12.Firmament

Lyricist:Robin Staps

And God said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the
heaven
Let there be lights in heaven to divide the day from the night
And let them be for signs for seasons and for days and years
And let them be for lights to burn in the firmament
To give light upon the earth'

And it was so and God made two, two great lights
The greater light to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the
night
The stars as well and God set them in the firmament
To give light upon the earth

And to rule, to rule over the day and over the night
To divide darkness from the light

Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters

And God said
'Let the waters bring forth abundantly
The moving creature that hath life and foul that may fly
Above the earth in the open firmament of heaven'
Or so do some people believe

Above the earth in the open firmament
And to rule, to rule over the day and over the night
To divide darkness from the light

Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters
Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters


13.Ptolemy Was Wrong

Lyricist:Robin Staps

I can't tell you what I've seen
I can no longer believe
I, I can't tell you how I feel
I do no longer believe
I, I can't tell you how I feel

There's no ambiguity
If Venus shows all phases like the moon
The earth must revolve 'round the sun
But no one will believe me, it's like nothing
Like nothing I've seen was for real, it's all real

I no longer believe
But maybe I should keep this to myself
I raised my eyes up high toward the night sky

I've been searching for the eyes divine
In countless nights
But I found the watchmaker was blind

There's no ambiguity
If Venus shows all phases like the moon
The earth must revolve 'round the sun
But no one will believe me, it's like nothing
Like nothing I've seen was for real


14.The Origin Of God

Lyricist:Robin Staps

A prime mover only shifts the problem
If every complex structure needs an architect
Then this prime mover must be even more complex
Than anything He created

Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?
Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?

Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?
Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?

Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?

Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?
Who made your architect? Who made your architect?
Where does He come from? What is He made of?


15.Catharsis Of A Heretic

Lyricist:Robin Staps

I refuse to shroud my past
These walls in here allow no rest
Tomorrow morning I'll be dead
It'll drown in the ocean

Nothing will ever be the same again

Yes, you can put me to the test
Or you can cut my tongue at last
Ideas are wandering through my head
What if all that I never said were true?

Were true
And if all these things that were happening were really due
Were really due


16.Metaphysics Of The Hangman

Lyricist:Robin Staps

On their long journey that leads them towards the light
Winston Smith shall be their guide
They're trying so hard to believe that two and two always makes
five
Two and two makes five

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth
And if there's contradiction, keep the faith, burn the proof

To protect ourselves from the superstitions
Of priests and moralists and the trickery of evangelists
Let us be done with the idea of moral law

Where do your values come from? From inside yourself?
Or from some self appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas as universal concepts?

Where do your values come from? From inside yourself?
Or from some self appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas as universal truth?

They're trying so hard to believe that two and two make five

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth
And if there's contradiction, keep the faith, burn the proof

Where do your values come from? From inside yourself?
Or from some self appointed moral cognoscentes
Who disguised their own ideas as universal truth?


17.Epiphany

Lyricist:Robin Staps

I will pray to the Son
He was crucified for me
And I will pray to the Father
'You shall have no gods besides Me'

I will pray to the Holy Trinity
And I will pray to the moon
And the sun and the stars

I will pray to Saint Luke
The writer of the Gospel
I will pray to Saint Paul
And ask him to cure my affliction

I'll pray to Mary
Second only to the Lord
Will pray to the moon
And the sun and the stars

One God, all three
A strange epiphany

I will pray to Saint Luke
The writer of the Gospel
I will pray to Saint Paul
And ask him to cure my affliction

I'll pray to Mary
Second only to the Lord
Will pray to the moon
And the sun and the stars

One God, all three
A strange epiphany


18.The First Commandment Of The Luminaries

Lyricist:Robin Staps

The sun's a luminary
Whose egress is an opening of the sky
Which is found in the west
And in the east lies its ingress

The sun is rising through six openings
And there are six through with it sets
The moon is using the same
And all the stars, they guide their way

First there goes out the greatest light
Whose name is the sun
It's round just like the roundness of the sky
Filled with light

The chariot in which it rises
Is driven by the blowing wind
The great light sets in the west
And returns by the northeast

In order to go to the east
It is guided so that it shall reach
The eastern gate and shine
In the black face of the sky

First there goes out the greatest light
Whose name is the sun
It's round just like the roundness of the sky
Filled with light

First there goes out the greatest light
Whose name is the sun
It's round just like the roundness of the sky

First there goes out the greatest light
Whose name is the sun
It's round just like the roundness of the sky
Filled with light


19.The Origin Of Species

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Yes, it's quite hard to believe
That we all come from the same seed
The scrub, the cockroach and the human being
It's hard to see how the perfection of complex organs
Was achieved without an engineer

But all you see is the human eye
On top of the mountain peak, so high
A steep wall of rock impossible to climb
Our imagination is left behind

But there is a gentle slope on the backside
And even worms have simple eyes
That help them distinguish darkness from light

Our brains are accustomed to the scope of a lifetime
We will never be able to see
How the sluggish vessel of evolution
Is slowly creeping up the hill, uphill

There's no other solution
There's no other solution
There's no alternative
To the theory of evolution


20.Swallowed By The Earth

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Tonight the earth opened up
And swallowed quite a lot of all the pretty things
That don't mean anything to me nor to you

To anyone who likes the feel
Of cold wind blowing from the sea
And dead leaves falling from the trees
Whirling through the air like rotten vessels on their way

Warm rain kept pouring down the streets
Submersed in rising water
And all the clouds were looking down
Upon the people seeking shelter

They are afraid of being carried far away
To some place where they feel they don't belong
But deep inside they feel that maybe any place
No matter how far away is better than home

And no one realized the gods in heaven
Were giving all of them a reason to go
And no one expected the water
That now reached up to their throats

Swallowed by the earth, they disappear
Swallowed by the earth so do we all
Swallowed by the earth, they disappear
Swallowed by the earth so do we all


21.Tonian

Lyricist:Robin Staps

I can't tell you how I feel
Can't show you
What you must not see
It's deep inside and it's killing me

I can't face reality
It's all out of reach for me
It runs deep
It's all so very much for real


22.The Grand Inquisitor, Pt. 2: Roots & Locusts

Lyricist:Jonathan Nido, Robin Staps

It is not for us to resolve things
That are not of this world

A world with God would be
Even more disturbing
Than a universe without Him
For if He tolerates atrocities
If He condones such cruelty
Who would want to worship
Such a maker anyway?

They locked her up for 30 days
In a dark room under the roof
They broke her will with the cane
She'll remember everything

You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost
It is not God that I do not accept
It's this world of God's created by God
That I cannot agree to accept

I dragged myself out to the ocean
And stared all night into the sky
The only lights I saw were far below me
Black waters full of life

I too lived on roots and locusts

I too have been in the wilderness
I too was striving to stand among the elect
Among the strong and the powerful

You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost
It is not God that I do not accept
It's this world of God's created by God
That I cannot agree to accept

I dragged myself out to the ocean
And stared all night into the sky
The only lights I saw were far below me
Black waters full of life

I too lived on roots and locusts
I too lived on roots and locusts
I too lived on roots and locusts

I too prized the freedom
With which Thou hast blessed us
But I woke up
And would not serve madness

Would not serve madness
I would not serve
The kiss glows deep in his heart

But the old man adheres to his idea
But the old man adheres to his idea
But the old man adheres to his idea
But the old man adheres to his idea
But the old man adheres to his idea
But the old man adheres to his idea

It is not for us to resolve things
That are not of this world

I too lived on roots and locusts
I too lived on roots and locusts
I too lived on roots and locusts
I too


23.The Grand Inquisitor, Pt. 3: A Tiny Grain Of Faith

Lyricist:Robin Staps

The devil sows in you
A tiny grain of faith
And it will grow into an oak tree

You will dine on locusts
You'll wander in the wilderness
To save your soul


24.Isla Del Sol

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Grow to the sun, we fell on rock, awoke with broken bones
Crawled our way back at rugged dirt roads
To find we're not alone and never wanna go back home
We'll never go back home

Drain me, I can't find no place to rest
What I've been searching for does not exist
All arrows point inwards, the white in my exes will shine
All plans forgotten, I've drawn a brand-new sign

Sometimes it all seems so tasteless
We carry on just the same, regardless
My heart is hollow, all I feel, so shallow
Show me someone to follow

Give me something to crave for
What I'm searching for doesn't exist
Tonight we step out of the past
And grow, grow to the sun


25.Equinox

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Yes, the hopeless are those who never lose their hope
And the heartless are those who never kill a foe
The speechless are those who always move their tongues
And the lonely are those who have the strongest bonds

You've been waiting for a morning to come
After years in the dark started hating the sun
In the end you denied that it had ever shone
And maybe you're right but is that what you want?

And yes, your feelings are justified
The only color you know is the color of night
The matrimony with the devil, your closest bond
It's all in vain if that's what you want

Yes, the hopeless are those who never lose their hope
And the heartless are those who never kill a foe
The lifeless those who think they're never bored
And the infidels are those who never fucked a whore

Life is sour, so full of maggots and bugs
And you still it's too short to just give it all up
Yes, it's all in vain if that's what you choose
But are you sure that's your wish?

It's your own choice to carry your cross
Men are just vultures fighting for prey
They shrink back at nothing
And scare each other away


26.The Human Stain

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Bread and games or should we say sugar and chains?
The blood of exposure, our sweetest drink
Decapitate the confessor
The audience is waiting

Watch all your achievement go down the drain
Vengeance at any cost, now get in the ring
You sure took precautions and still you drown
Rise and fall, the higher, the deeper

They made you flirt with divinity
From now on you're free
So stick your cock up her ass
No need to cheat, no need to confess

Where is your secret?
Pull off the blanket
Discard this veil of shame
Tonight we celebrate the human stain


27.The Grand Inquisitor, Pt. 1: Karamazov Baseness

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Even if I did not believe in life
If I lost my faith in the order of things
We're convinced in fact that everything
Is a disorderly, damnable and devil-ridden chaos

If I were struck by every horror
Of man's disillusionment
Still I would want to live
And having once tasted the cup
I would not turn away from it

Until I had drained it
You are trying to save me
You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost

If I were struck by every horror
Of man's disillusionment
Still I would want to live
And having once tasted the cup
I would not turn away from it

Is an unearthly, uncaring father
Still entitled to the love and respect of his sons?

You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost
You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost

Is an unearthly, uncaring father
Still entitled to the love and respect of his sons?

You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost
You are trying to save me
But perhaps I am not lost


28.The Greatest Bane

Lyricist:Robin Staps

We are divine, we are divine deities of the modern age
The sentinels of humanity's cage
We are divine captivators of the greatest bane
We're the phantoms you'll never see

Watching over your sleep, we are in your dreams
See our symbols again, won't get them out of your head
They exude sensations of wealth, temptations no one withstands

We are divine captivators of the greatest bane
The sentinels of humanity's cage
We let you breathe the foul air of supremacy

We design your identity to complain with our needs
Hear our slogans again, they're made to linger in your head
They gaze at you from the screen, from all the glossy magazines
We are the living proof for all the non-believers

What can't be bought or sold is nothing but a fallacy
We are the magistrates for all the great relievers
Gods of the modern age

Nothing can stop us, nothing can halt us
Your children work for us eight hours a day
We know that we give them the shittiest pay
Your politicians do whatever we say

We've conquered the earth
And set up our flags all over the world
We're twisting the facts
Wherever you turn, billboard attack

This world is ours
Trust our knowledge, we're here to share
Feel the aura, sway and power, feel us everywhere
The will to pay for the lowest stakes the global game

The will to partake in the greatest bane
The modern age
Breathe in deep, get lost in what we call
'The Real World'


29.Comfort Zones

Lyricist:Robin Staps

Inside our squalid homes, a safe place behind security doors
Sheltered from all we better ignore
The starving, the homeless, the dying, the poor
Any utopia only makes us scoff
It's all okay as long as all can be turned on and off

As longs as we can relax in our comfort zones
And explore the world with the remote control
This city breathes death and disease
A dying bastard on a drip, part of the myth

They have taken whatever they could find, knocked on our doors
Or crept inside replacing everything with an image of it
Who told you that the street never sleeps?
They've taken everything and sold you ease instead
Now lean back, all you need is at your fingertips

Pale screen shines down on you
Sniggers and takes you for a fool
Tell me what are you gonna do?
Suck up the praise

End of a meaningless day
The next one will be strictly the same
Plunge in your easy chair
Salvation is only one mouse click away


30.Dead On The Whole

Lyricist:Robin Staps

We draw your eyes to our images, carrot and stick
We've got a sense for what makes you tick
The more out of reach the more desperate you'll be trying to get
it
We're the sweet distraction, sure to provoke a reaction

We'll show you what you need
You can be sure this world is yours if you're paying for it
Once we've got your attention we might sell you something
You don't have the cash to pay, put it on credit, pay by
installment
Sit back and chill and wait for your consignment

We make you pay to eat
We make you pay to sleep
We make you pay to breathe
We make you pay for any pleasures you could come up with

Now we reached our goals, we keep you stuck in a job that you
loathe
Now you're dead on the whole because you're bound to pay us off
At the end of a tiresome day of repetitive work
Without having a say you crave for nothing more than mere
dispersal

Turn on the TV and switch off reality
And here we are back again with our screens of perfection
The perfect distraction
Fancy cars, furbished shopping marts
All that it takes to make you fall for our candy bars

What a fertile symbiosis
You help us pay our bills and in turn we assist you keep
treading the mill
We set the standards, we embody all you ever wanna be
We play with your insecurities, we make you feel miserable


31.Queen Of The Food-Chain

You sure know the rules
To turn all the heads to your menu
For this is all you show

For all this all you have to offer
As she grows old and pale
This color was never your own

Since you bought the security of control
With ten feet of soil on your chest
To choke any whiff of animation

Bury all risks forever
Walk on the blood red sands
Soaked with the grief
Of coveting docile hands

Cursed by your own rocks
And this is what you draw upon
Feast on the purity
Of decaying organic matter

No need to cut off her wings
Your words lay
Like stones in her stomach
She takes everything

She's the queen of the food-chain
The last one to starve
The first one to bleed into oblivion


32.Swoon

Mild rays of sun will burn your eyes
After dwelling in darkness for the rest of your life
Mild rays of sun will burn your eyes
After dwelling in darkness
Walking out of this cave
This forlorn place that I used to call mine

Now daylight burns my eyes
The earth is shaking
The times are changing
The clock is ticking

Even down here we won't be secure
The ceiling crumbles
Over my warped head
Giving way to broad daylight
Am I already dead?

Mild rays of sun will burn your eyes
After dwelling in darkness for the rest of your life
Mild rays of sun will burn your eyes
After dwelling in darkness
In this cave that I used to call mine

Searching for shelter
Right after the raid
Cover up your eyes
The most human trait

Don't want any change
I prefer to stall
Why can't we appreciate
The gift of free fall?

Freedom is what scares us most of all
We duck for cover in our shelters and caves
Freedom is what scares us most of all
And our horizon is never more than two steps away

I'm about to faint
So much to see
So much to hear
So much to dare

So much to feel
So much to steal
So much to taste
No time to waste

My tongue is burning
My eyes are watering
My mind is turning
I'm overloaded

My limbs are aching
My ears are bleeding
System's collapsing
I'm about to faint

So much to do
So much to try
So much to lose
Before we die

So much to feel
So much to steal
So much to taste
No time to waste

My tongue is burning
My eyes are watering
System's collapsing
I'm about to faint

So much to feel
So much to steal
So much to taste
No time to


33.Necrobabes

You're my fetish
My favorite toy
Pierced with needles
I'm sure you'll enjoy

Gagged and hogtied
Spanked and caned
I'll always savor
Your grace in chains

I will flock you to death, can you feel the thrill?
I will make you eat shit and control your will
I'm the master of the needle in your clit
There's no easy way out, if you faint I'll get you back

Mouse traps hanging on your nipples
Saliva sliding down your chin
Thumbtacks under your tortured knees
Pain won't end, you'll never win

I will flock you to death, can you feel the thrill?
I will make you eat shit and control your will
Since I cannot own you I just want to kill you
I will hang you naked, watch your face go blue


34.Inertia

I enwrap myself in black sheets
To match the sky
And you would do the same
If you just opened your eyes

But lets stay like this for a while
Let's just keep silent and immobile
Enjoy the pleasure of dying daylight
The cold kiss of a desert night

Out here on my own is where I feel
Where I feel most at home
I'm stuck in between
Your flesh and my bones

I embrace the gift of dying daylight
The cold kiss of a desert night

I enwrap myself in black sheets
To become one with the sky
And you would do just the same
If you just opened your eyes

Eyes
Night
Blind


35.Dead Serious And Highly Professional

You cannot make me feel guilty
I don't give a shit about respect
I won't join your moral masturbation
I'm the prodigal son gone off the tracks

You cannot make me feel sorry
I don't give a shit about your pride
I'm the cat piss on your carpet
The last crushing thought before you die

Don't fit in your picture
Don't fit in your world
Don't match all the lies
You feed your kids

Feel no loyalty
This deal was made without me
Sure I never signed it
Your contracts don't apply to me

I'll fuck your dog
Do you still wanna get along with me?
I'd rape your daughter
On a payment of a small fee

I'll fuck your dog
Do you still wanna get along with me?
I'd rape your daughter
How much would you pay?


36.Killing The Flies

Air filled with sand lashing in my face
I can't see you fifteen feet away
I can hear you somewhere in the distance
I have lost you

The air is filled with sand
Eroding my skin

I can smell you in the air I'm breathing
I can feel you every time I'm falling
I can taste you, you're the sand I'm eating
I can't kill you

The air is filled with sand
Eroding my skin

All trees cast their leaves when you're around
All colors grow pale, all tones lose their sound

Air filled with sand
It's eroding my skin
All wheels stop turning
Now take the night-bus
And begin all over again

Some things fade faster than you would believe
Some memories sway your thoughts for a while:
Yet some might be etched into your skull
So deeply they'll never grow pale

Sliding deeper and deeper into disaster
Don't want you to see me in the state I'm in?
Where do I end, where do you begin?

Air filled with sand
It's eroding my skin
All wheels stop turning
Now take the night-bus
And begin all over again

Sliding deeper and deeper into disaster
I'm on the speed-ramp going faster and faster

Lets stay in bed bed today
The sun ain't shining anyway
Completely knocked out, unable to move
Dwelling in daydreams, I'm closer, I'm closer to you

I en-wrap myself in black sheets
To match the sky
I no longer want to see
The bitterness in your eyes

You start killing the flies

This is imperative of devotion
A command to consistent actions
To defend our most heartfelt convictions

Against attempts of self protection
To cut them down to size of reason
What we feel is true, what we feel is true

I can't abandon you
I lost something forever in you
It all breeds only pain though I can't discard it
Can't rid myself of you without betraying my heart


37.Une Saison En Enfer

Sick of the sun, corroded by the rain
Stolen laurels in felted hair
Worn faces that have traveled a long way
Wet rags sticking to her body
Bruised skin and sleepless eyes
Grinning and cursing under malevolent skies

Strolling through hells
Whipped through heaven
Flirting with venomous snakes
Raping angels

Strolling through hells
Whipped through heaven
Dancing on desolate streets
When the skies rip open

Forgot his youth but never her love
Forgot all his plans with life
Forgot the roof but not the sky above
Mending their clothes, licking their wounds
Scratches from the corals on their backs
Love bites from the kisses of the shark-attacks

Strolling through hells
Whipped through heaven
Flirting with venomous snakes
Raping angels

Strolling through hells
Whipped through heaven
Dancing on desolate streets
When the skies rip open

You that were banned from heaven and hell
Murderers that have suffered great pains
Searching in oceans of absinthe
The land where it is better to live

Black clouds pour their acid
Load on spiteful unbowed heads
And they are spitting it back

You that were banned from heaven and hell
Murderers that have suffered great pains
Searching in oceans of absinthe
The land where it is better to live


38.Austerity

Pouring whiskey in dried-out bodies
Coarsely hewn by wood and love
Deep inside them smolders slowly
Thick as yeast, green bitterness

Helpless, their eyes are blind
And all their thoughts are simple
Their ears are deaf
And all their songs are trivial

Their loves have gone sour
And all their looks are vacant
Their food is foul
The art they makes lacks the challenge

All their minds are empty
All their thoughts are simple
All their songs and books are trivial
All their ears are deaf

Birds who once flew with passion
Now they're easily caught with bare hands
Locked in cages, learning their lessons
Bullets for the already dead

Tasteless, our tongues are dumb
And all our speeches are hollow
Our minds are numb
And all our books are shallow

Our loves are sour
And all our looks are vacant
Our food is foul
The art we make lacks the challenge

All our minds are empty
All our thoughts are simple
All our songs and books are trivial
All our looks are vacant

Birds who once flew with passion
Can easily be caught with bare hands
Locked in cages, learning their lessons
Bullets for the already dead

Can you still see, the stars, the Sky
Through layers of gray?
They're fading away
Can you still see the stars?

It's hard to think of the ocean
With the sweet stench of piss in your hair
Morning air still invades every wallpaper cell
Year after year after year

All these years those walls were empty
Curtains yellowed, now white with mold
Lardy plaster, the paint is peeling
From the ashtray, swathes of blue smoke

Corrosive waters
Black rain falls the seventh time
Unyielding minds of coal
Jaws opened wide

They changed their beds
Dearly white sheets weeping like shrouds
This is the chamber
Where their God spent his final hour

Can you still see the stars
Through layers of gray?
Or have the city lights
Taken their place?

The stars are fading away
Away, away, away

Eyes leap at the bait
We march in circles under Jupiter's sway
Eyes will fall prey to the cheat
One more surrender and we'll suffer defeat


39.The City In The Sea

Lo, death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone

Lo, a strange town, lying alone
Death has reared himself a throne, far down in the west
Where the good, bad, worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest

There, shrine and towers
Death has reared himself a throne

Time eaten towers that tremble not
Resemble nothing, nothing that is ours

Down, down in that town, shall settle hence
Hell rising from its throne, no earthly moans
Shall do it reverence

No rays from heaven coming down
On the long night time of that town
But light from the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently

Gleams up the pinnacles far and free
Up domes, up spires, up kingly halls
Up fanes, up Babylon like walls

No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far off happy seas
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene

But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave, there is a movement there
As if the towes had thrust aside
In slightly sinking, the dull tide

Acquiescently beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie
The waves have now a redder glow
The hours are breathing faint and low
And when amid no earthly moans

Down, down in the town shall settle hence
Hell rising from a thousand thrones
Shall do it reverence

Down, down in that town, shall settle hence
Hell rising from its throne, no earthly moans
Shall do it reverence

Three opens fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves
But not the riches there that lie
In each idol's diamond eye
Not the gaily jewelled dead

Tempt the waters from their bed
So blend the turrets, shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air
While from a tower in the town
Death looks down

But lo, a stir is in the air
The waves have now a redder glow
The hours are breathing faint and low
And when amid no earthly moans

Down, down in that town shall settle hence
Hell rising from a thousand thrones
Shall do it reverence

Far down within the dim West
Where the good and the band and
The worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest

Waves have now a red glow
Hours breathe low
No men moan
