Enemy

All the tears you cried
From the pain that I
Caused you all this time
Flowed on your skin
Like rivers that swept away
My arrogance and pride
End then you chose
To leave me, no word or fight
You left me dead inside
I’ve got no excuse
But hear me it’s not a lie
My arms slashed by knife
So call me, call me enemy,
Anything you want me to be
Anything but why can’t you see
No more life inside me
We are bound to be
Lovers of lust and pain
You grip me once again
Take revenge end kill me
With your bloody eyes
There’s nowhere to hide
So call me, call me enemy,
Anything you want me to be
Anything but why can’t you see
No more life inside me

Fuel for rage

Your love like a bond
Has locked me in a cage
Years of treachery
A fuel for my rage
You ask to show my scars
To heal them with your lips
Betrayer of my trust
You push the knife too deep
Deceiver behind a mask
Like a devil in disguise
A never ending circle of tears
Cannot stand your lies
Love
the bringer of pain
That’s what I say
Hate
the giver of death
It might end this way
Time has come to find a way
To deal with this distressing game

Crowd in the stage, a dancefloor scene
Boys and girls, chains and lipsticks
Some wear veil, some wear lace
To hide from eyes a pale face
Figures move across the room
This melody a ritual healing
Their nightmares bloody fires
For a malady, a grave unseen
Expel the light
Embrace the night
Like nineteen eighty two
In cold delight
The music plays, all look like shades
Torch on the walls, a deeper feeling
Their nightmares bloody fires
For a malady, a grave unseen
Expel the light
Embrace the night
Like nineteen eighty two
In cold delight

Nothing will remain

When I am dead, my lover,
Shed no tears for me
Put no crosses at my head
Nor idols that I can’t see
Be the air that surrounds me
This world that I can’t live
And if you wish, remember
And if you wish, forgive
I shall not walk the doorway
I shall not feel the rain
I shall not see the light of day
Oh, nothing will remain
And yearning in the twilight
To come a little close to you
Neither living nor like dead
But like a ghost in moon
And gazing in the night sky
You’ll dream of all we lived
And so I may quieten
And so I may forgive
I shall not walk the doorway
I shall not feel the rain
I shall not see the light of day
Oh, nothing will remain

In a shadow dream
04:30

When the clouds threw down their spears
And heaven weep with tears
I have always the same feeling
Like something my dreams is stealing
It comes like an evening shadow,
It comes like a slow death
Like the storm tears the sparrow,
It blurs my eyes and steals my breath
So, did you put your smile to meet me?
And wore your white dress?
But didn’t you feel your joy delusions
Drowned in my cold caress?
Didn’t you dream your deepest nightmares
When you took the path to follow?
In your decision there’s no tomorrow,
No bliss, no inner peace
They, who duel the night
Stay out of sight
Out of this world
Where shadows lurk
Living in a shadow dream

Last day on earth
03:54

|

I dreamed a beautiful pond
With flowers all around
Her face reflected on
Between the gloomy clouds
I dreamed the nights of love
As moonlight shone upon her
I wished to never awake
No tears on my shoulders
Now the dream is gone
Those flowers faded away
Without her all is lost
Shattered in a winter day
And it feels like
The last day
The last day
When the shadows fall
Alone, memories fray
It seems to be at hand
On earth my last day
The last day
My last day

On the dancefloor
04:10
|
|

The moon is high, the night is young
That’s the time for you to dance
Pale as fog, alive like fire
To roll around your desire
In the club drinks will flow
Like raindrops on us below
On the dancefloor you slowly sway
Back and forth, a sweet decay
All alone, all night long, dance tonight ‘till the dawn
Dark and cold your heart inside
On the run from light to hide
Eyes on you but no one dares
To make the step, you don’t care
Rhythm and music becoming one
You’re strange like black swan
On the dancefloor you slowly sway
Back and forth, a sweet decay
All alone, all night long, dance tonight ‘till the dawn

She ends herself
03:36

Feeling restless, feeling high
Every night another lie
Roaming in the streets, a broken doll
Lustful strangers rape my soul
So come and set me free
Breathless I stand in need
Come and see me risk
As blade cuts my wrist
Feeling empty and old inside
This aching sting will never die
Haunting voices inside my head
Forcing me to give an end
So come and set me free
Breathless I stand in need
Come and see me risk
As blade cuts my wrist

Black death

Twelve great ships from the Black Sea
Full of rats reached Sicily
They brought us plague, we got contracted
Our cities unarmed, pestilence had struck
Black blisters with pus that spilled blood
Covered our skin, our livers and lungs
My dearests died, in agony all cried
The smell of death, their corpses putrefied
Father abandoned child, husband forsaken wife
The Black Death seemed to strike through the breath and sight
And in this bed of pain, suffering in vain
I wait the men with the coats with the beak shaped nose
Blades cut my veins and let out the blood
To claim my life or die within this flood
Father abandoned child, husband forsaken wife
The Black Death seemed to strike through the breath and sight
