Church Of Tiamat no candycoloured paradise no stary blackholed eyes no more dreams of neverend through embers only dark descends no more comatose sleepwalking no feeble sideshow toungetalking not even crucified you`d get that far nor escape the shining mourningstar no lies shall opiate your senses no spying glasses with shaded lenses nor suns that burn a brighter tint just lucid weaves in pristine mint no more angels in the snow no more hunting high and low no more water in our veins to seek out gold from grains no fight to win or loose no single path to choose no second comind at all just a simple rise and fall 2. Brighter Than The Sun we could wander in the garden of eden baby we could anything tonight, maybe we could even touch the sky if we just get up on our feet and try we could wander in the garden of eden baby will you settle for the bull`s run for the second best of fun for the fire of a handgun burns brighter than the sun any colour you like as long as it`s black you have anything if you just give it back you could be a celebrity like me it won`t change anything as you will see any colour you like as long as it`s black 3. Dust Is Our Fare there is a time when some of us are healed there is a time you`re clean and undersealed there is a time it almost looks like fun there is a time for the bullet of a gun no one here drinks water none of us are sane if you pretend you`re my daughter we do it again and again no one here is praying `cause no one here is god and every word we are saying might as well be put in blood there is a time when worms revel in me there is a time for a pigfaced reality there is a time and it`s usually the afternoon there is a time and i hope it will be damn soon 4. To Have And Have Not she shivered, afraid that i would shoot she`d panic, afraid that i would not she drank it all right before my eyes said, be my lucifer, be my lord of flies i can take all your blasphemy i can take all your sins i can end any moment and let new one begin she said, do it and do it now yeah, let all black birds fly again for all fires that burned before as hell`s fire, shall burn bright once more 5. For Her Pleasure erase the pictures from my mind eliminate the presence of your kind unloose the strings of instinct laws just to fall into some other jaws in pounding afternoon i rise for the pleasure of dying twice a wingcut anges in decline breathe my air and i`ll be fine put your teeth in me carve your name in me i don`t care if there is something that i`m blind to see invite yourself and feel free to pick up splinter of debris it`s in your sys.ex subdues all that`s delusive initially this lie i`d recoil but again i crawl this dirty soil of all possessions i did treasure this one`s strictly for her pleasure 6. Diyala 7. Sympathy For The Devil 8. Best Friend Money Can Buy we drank as much as we could and she drank more than she should we sumbled out of this cheap whiskey bar and that is the story so far guided by the dim streetlights we walked through the black harbour night no people, no passing car well, that is the story so far -she things she smells the northland snow northland snow and she`s as glad as i to go ay, to go hey very bolts are sick for shore sick for shore and i, i want it ten times more ten times more- she silenced her mouth when i asked for her name and she asked me please do the same she said it`a all written in the stars and that is the story so far but she whispered her name when i kissed her goodbye her voice stained by whiskey and tar she went back to where she belonged, and i i went back to the bar your dance like liquid fire like crystal methedrine you make the stars come closer the most beautiful girl i`ve seen 9. As Long As You're Mine you`re everything i want only you can set me free you`re an anges in the snow you`re a shot in the arm for me i will let you l.e.d.`s shine as long as you are mine you move and whisper softly you move and safe and sound you`re a tranquilizer you make the world go round you are here beside me you make me feel fine i`ll go through any day as long as you are mine i will let you l.e.d.`s shine as long as you are mine 10.
