Blossom 04:12
I'm burying my hands Under white stones in Rome I watch the roofs burning While my heart explodes The Kings and the Peacocks The Slaughter, the Fall The Night of the Locust Brings flames to the Throne! We're all marching in line We keep on marching, marching in line. I'm burying my eyes In the fields of Rome For the glory of Nero, For the glory of nothing I'll be part of the Murder, I'll be part of the Dance For the slaves all around me Keep on marching in line! We're all marching in line We keep on marching, marching in line.

I'm looking for a place 
Not an usual place 
I’ve got the hopes of a snake 
I wish I could bite your head off 
I wish I could bite you soon 
I wish I could bite your sins 

Only clouds and flies in spiders’ mind
 Why won’t you leave us behind?
 We’re all born to lie
 You were born to lie
 Now it’s my time to rise 

I could be blind
 Yes, my quarry, you made me blind 
In disguise (camouflage!) 
Try to look at my shape 
But my teeth are deep inside your tail 

What are the secrets of an evil mind? 
I see yours, I see my belongings 
Come here me calling you and begging for your lies 
We all lie, we all lie 
We all lie, we all lie 
We’re all lies.

The Fall 04:53
Come on and tell me, Are we always so blind? Is all this talking A matter of pride? Come on and show me What's in the back of your mind Come on, explain me The truth as it shines Purified in new blood With an old taste of hate Drowning yourself In a twisted debate Come on and tell me, Are we always so blind? Come on, explain me The truth as it shines It's evil and it's calling me It's dirty, it beats inside of me Lights go out, Ambitions turn into war So we walked the dead-line With nothing to fight for Come on and tell me, Are we always so blind? Come on, explain me The truth as it shines It's evil and it's calling me It's dirty and grows inside of me It's evil and it's calling me It's dirty and grows inside of me It's wrong and burns inside of me It's wrong and grows inside of me It's wrong and lives inside of us

Lay your hands on me And look for the answer I always hide Lay your hands on me You'll find there's no answer Your hope is a lie There's someone at your door Knocking harder and harder There's someone at your door Your hope is a trap, now! Lying and denying Lying and denying (Surrounded by the Army of Illusion) There's no privilege in blood 'Til it runs out There's no privilege in pain 'Til it's tamed
5.
Grab the torch Of stranger's faith All the enemies Run through your veins You can't see them Flowers of betrayal You feel like a master But you're worms' new slave You're worms' new slave We all need A cheek to pierce With a sword Or the deepest kiss Crucify your tongue With three rusty nails You feel like a master But you're worms' new slave You're worms' new slave Father's fingers Are seeking your pride He's sucking your blood Tasting the eyes of the blind Hail to the weak! The King is dead! Time needs silence As the throne needs his heir!

Chrysalis 04:05
A stab for the Lover A stab for the Glory A stab for the Power, I'm coming through One for the Love we shared Two for our Hate Three for the Knowledge, I'm coming through Inside your mind The world collapses for you Inside your mind This world keeps on turning for you Inside your mind Inside your mind Inside your mind I'm changing my skin Inside your mind Inside your mind

The Tongue 04:30
The voice says: "Don't follow the lights, Let the night time cover your eyes! Take my hand and we'll burn together, I'm the herald of a stormy weather!" The voice says: "You'll be sacrificed For we're all just sides of a dice! Take my hand and we'll burn together 'cause I'm the herald of a stormy weather!" Shadows gather in the mind! Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain The voice says "Don't follow the lights, Let the night time cover your eyes! Take my hand and we'll burn together, I'm the herald of a stormy weather!" Shadows gather in the mind! Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain The tongue licks the mark on my arm Waiting for salvation to come Waiting for salvation to come Shadows gather in the mind! Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain Bury the hopes, the wish and the pain The wish and the pain!

Have you ever dreamt of the Black Lodge? 
It lives in a place called mind 
Locusts are eating me up tonight
 Never ever need a brain if I use my knife

 My knife... Can you hear the blackbird?
 Can you hear the blackbird singing? 
It’s flying above the trees of Dystopia 
No-one knows it's whirling, no-one knows it's bleeding 

Pigs march along the river
 Through a hundred-thousand fields of corpses 
Sinking their snouts in the bloody corn 
I don’t burn my memories, I eat ‘em alive

 Alive... Can you hear the blackbird?
 Can you hear the blackbird singing? 
It’s flying above the trees of Dystopia 
No-one knows it's whirling, no-one knows it's bleeding

 It's a dream It's a dream We live inside a dream! Evil stands behind our pure dreams
 Behind a red curtain of sorrow
 Take another look at the pit 
Falling like statues the soldiers cry
 They cry They cry!

A Prayer 03:15
For these precious things Well, I'll start to scream "Come today!" If the End is near Well, I'll start to scream "Come today!" "Come today!" For these precious things For these precious things Well, I'll start to scream "Come today!" If the End is near If the End is near Well, I'll start to scream "Come today!" "Come today!" Awe lives in the light, There's no place to hide There's no place to hide

Maybe it's because of the sky, Never thought it would devour me. Or maybe it's because of the blood, Never thought it was so red. The Earth as a mosaic, Colours like pins in her chest. Let Oedipus blind us. Don't need to see, don't need to see Don't need to see anymore! When the ax falls down Let the sun eat our bodies of glass That spin... and crash! Finally men are crawling outside Like rats out of their nests And if you could see me lying on the grass Would you understand how it feels To be murdered by hours? Would you find all the lies that you left behind? Would you run into the furnace? Don't need to see, don't need to see Don't need to see anymore! When the light covers everything Let the sun eat our bodies of glass That spin... and crash!
