Tiamat The Scarred People 1. The Scarred People [M&L: Edlund] Emily took to flight On see-through wings of white Over the seven seas careened In beauty yet unseen A withered rose in bloom A blooming rose of doom Scattered all around For the heavens to abound And like the sweetest cream With lovliness extreme Emily went to play On that sacred day One love in red who loves darkness One love in white who loves darkness One love in black who loves darkness One love supreme who loves darkness One little butterfly who loves darkness One tear to cry who loves darkness One billion angles loves darkness 'Cause even God loves darkness Emily went to play When gold turned into clay The morning drain the night Of all beauty left in sight And soaked in reality Of not much more to see She disappeared into the haze In her own peculiar ways And like the sweetest cream With lovliness extremee Emily went to play On that sacred day 2. Winter Dawn [Instrumental][M: Ojersson, Edlund, Bemm] 3. 384 [M: Ojersson. L: Edlund] You passed out but now you're back But all the windows are painted black A few more minutes of your shame 'Cause this is my game I would do anything for you Shiva's soul is coming through Anything you ask me to do To you I would do Don't you dare to dim the lights I've already done what you dreamt last night A few more minutes of your blame To enter my game Let the seven deadly sins Resurrect what lies within A few more minutes in the flames That is my game 4. Radiant Star [M: Edlund, Bemm.  L: Edlund, Lampropoulou] You're an illusion in a world of disillusion Gold made from a distant, ancient fusion You're the crown of creation as we know it But given just a bit more rope and you'll blow it I might exaggerate to say this city's burning But when you're sleeping safe and sound the world's still turning The trivialities are there to entertain you To cozily stop thinking 'bout what they do Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the craked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don't fuck with my brain All wars start in rooms where big men meet But are always fought and lost or won on the street No one's never gonna start a revolution from bed Put your theories to practise and you'll wind up dead You've got the freedom to choose what you wanna see But the bottom in you is the bottom in me The rock might be thrown from many different heights But always falls to the same floor through dim red lights Throw your diamonds down the drain You packed the cracked porcelain Chain, unchain, the dirt is your domain Don't fuck with my brain Throw your demons down the well Where once the brightest angel fell Make your wishes, put your spell But don't fuck with my hell 5. The Sun Also Rises [M&L: Edlund] In Hamburg suburbia With a girl from Serbia With all God's crystal methedrine And a train to take me back to Berlin All was spoken, all was done And a little swedish lady came along I punched a few more holes in my card living But I forgot about forgiving I might have been to Buda or Pest But not upon your chest The bible was right All rivers turned red And I'm still not in bed The crystal fumes, the soothing song Until another big wave came along The sign on the river bed, that says That everything is dead, everything is dead I tried so hard to make it right With plenty of drink and streetfight The morning always shone anew And somewhere in there were you Now we're somewhere out on the North Sea On our way back to Germany From Genesis to Exodus From Kamara up to Olympiados From Prenzlauer Berg to Aristotelous square From a Hilton in Paris to anywhere I had to leave it all behind To find some peace of mind The diamond tooth will cut you loose At any time you choose And the demon king Is giving in As soon as his souls stop selling When everything was said and done A little greek beauty came along 6. Before Another Wilbury Dies [Instrumental][M: Edlund] 7. Love Terrorists [M: Ojersson, Bemm. L: Edlund] The times they're a changing All heavens shall fall At the end of the day They mean nothing at all I hear the call for a revolution And you're not part of our solution I won't shut my mouth no more My heart won't never be ignored -- like before I never demonstrated Always loved, never hated It doesn't need to be debated 'Cause my hate was just belated -- but awaited Can you hear me now? On a 42-inch plasma screen I watch the tears of Jesus Crying out all gods are dead and hacked into little pieces Your empty words Sway through the cirrus At the end of the day You've got nothing on us We're approved by the weather Gods And all the others share our blood Though I don't even speak the languauge I can surely feel the hellish - anguish Go ahead and throw the first stone And suck your kingdom to the bone Keep on and criticize us And awake the Gods on Olympus -- for us Have no fear Never care Always dare Never fail We shall prevail This is who we are A conscious for war! A conscious for war! 8. Messinian Letter [M: Edlund. L: Edlund, Lampropoulou] Look outside the window Baby everything will be just fine In just a little moment The dark is gone and the sun will start to shine And all the clouds of grey, they are not yours So please let me see you smile again You are my only friend And I want you to be happy again I know what you've been through And I know what has to come But please don't try to face it all alone 'Cause you are my only friend You are my only friend I am here beside you now To help you and to guide you to the light Today my darling little birds are singing and the sun is shining bright And all the clouds of grey, they are not yours So please let me see you smile again You are my only friend And I want you to be happy again I know what you've been through And I know what has to come But please don't try to face it all alone 'Cause you are my only friend You are my only friend Look beyond these corridors and the darkness in your soul I am here to drag you up from that empty hole Try to look beyond all the sad things in this world There will be more wars and deaths before all flags are furled But you are my only friend You are my only friend 9. Thunder & Lightning [M&L: Edlund] Your blood is cold as ice in the summer And you're steaming hot in the winter You lived your life on Baphomet's throne And you are so much like me You hide away from the light And that's how it begins Forget the sunshine for awhile And dance with me into night Celebrate The thunder and lightning Raise your glasses high To the thunder and lightning Thank God For the thunder and lightning Celebrate tonight Now smoke is going down And snow is falling outside Through lasers, stroboscopes I see your face in there Through rain and stormy weather With black boots of leather You're the flame, you're the fire Fully equipped with dark desires The rain, the dusk, the dirt, the dark And the thunder and lightning To the south and the north and the east and the west For the thunder and lightning Thank God for the flood and the darkness in our blood And for the thunder and lightning Celebrate tonight 10. Tiznit [Instrumental][M: Ojersson] 11. Born To Die [Bonus Track] 12. The Red Of The Morning Sun [Bonus Track][M&L: Edlund] I woke up early this morning when the columns of night went pale white The shades of faith disappeared and the sky above you were no longer blue When did our moon cease to bleed When shall the colours be freed To bring back our gold and to bring back the red of the sun To bring back our gold and to bring back the red of the sun The red of the morning sun One part of crystal oxygen Two parts of glycerine Three parts of cold spring water To bring back the four river daughters Five steps out of the black room With six six six of gloom, leaving Seven sea shells on the shore Whisper eight nine ten and I wanna hear more I looked through the prism when colour went away and faded into grey And the sun was still shining in the morning but pale white, so white Is this all we get? Is this all there is? 13. Paradise [Bonus Track]
