There are times
When I'm just a shell
When I do not feel anything for anyone
All I feel is hollow & bruised
Used up & mis-used
Forced to be soneone I don't
Want to be
Have I failed somehow or some way
Will the weight of today
Finally pull me down to drown
In the depths of despair
Where I am alone
Except for my rage?
My rage...My pain...
I hate... My darkest days
As we unlock the secrets to our universe. we have
discovered that an all encompassing substance
called dark matter threatens our very existence is
this mysterious energy the true source of evil?
and what small hope have we as black
holes angrily devour our floating islands of light.
theory becomes reality and another cross lines
the cosmic roadside engulfed by something....
darker than black
You always give me something
To help me understand
Turn those tracks around me one more time
But all you give is killing me
I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I don't know who I am on a darker side of town
I came to win some game I played
When I was just a boy
I've done too much have nothing in my life
I understood the rules back then
Now I can't decide
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm gettin' wasted on a darker side of town
Oh I give to you everything I've got
Even start again to make you smile yeah
But my luck's run out
My head is burned
I can't turn around
I'm gettin' loaded on a darker side of town
I'm drownin' in some wine on a darker side of town
Darker side of town
On a television screen
Like a technicolor dream
I watch the crowd surround you
And you act so nonchalant
As you pass the debutantes
Who know you as they found you
So what is it like on the inside?
You live the high life.
[Chorus]
You walk in the room with your
Attitude
You've got an awful lot to prove
At the end of the day
When you walk away
Are you on the darker side of blue?
You used to be
Someone just like me
Do you wonder what you're missing?
And when the paparazzi stare
At your face and clothes and hair
Do you wonder what they're whispering?
So what is it like on the inside?
You live the high life
[Chorus]
So what will you say
When you've had your day
And it all fades away?
[Chorus]
If you read the signs, maybe you'll
Find
You will accept my point of view
Now how do you feel
Now that you've seen it?
Are you on the darker side of blue?
Look at the man with the smile on his face
Looks like he's always feeling good
Sometimes you might want to take his place
And sometimes I think that you would
When the sun is going down
And there is no place to hide
Even in the brightest light
You might lean toward the darker side
Look at the people, they learn how to lie so easy
They learn how to lie to get what they need
And after they got what they needed
It turns into a simple case of greed
When they no longer feel ashamed
And they've lost all sense of pride
Misery loves company
And it's lonely on the darker side
And when the party is over
And the music has died
You'll be dancing to the music, baby
Somewhere on the darker side
Somewhere on the darker side
These tears run down my face
Of signs of redemtion
I swallow in my sadness
I'll never pull a shame
Hung by strings like puppets in a play
Run like slaves
Nowhere to escape
No sun burns through these darkening days
Hard to imagine I could be this way
I bleed for you
I bleed for you
I hate to see these darkening days
So deep my motivation
When the time is on my side
Everything I've had I've wasted
I've gambled all my life
Hung by strings like puppets in a play
Run like slaves
Nowhere to escape
No sun burns through these darkening days
Hard to imagine I could be this way
I believe you
Believe you
I hate to see these darkening days
Looks like all the time
I need to unwind
I can't be the way you wanted me to be
Constant pride
I've frozen mine
I'm losing mine
Hung by strings
Run like slaves
No sun burns through these darkening days
Hard to imagine I could be this way
I believe you
Believe you
I hate to see these darkening days
No sun burns through these darkening days
Hard to imagine I could be this way
I believe you
Believe you
I hate to see these darkening days
These darkening days
Moon is rising
A million years to me
Soon be quieter
A passing tear from me
Sing the same
Lie here with me
Dreams a dream
They all drop dead asleep
Shining higher
A foolish tune
A cry from the top of the spire
Wear a prayer, drops and crumbles
Crumbles
Crumbles
Yes crumbles
Darkcell is among you
Darkcell is in my room
Darkcell with the mortal freak
Darkcell let me speak
Darkcell tomorrow bloom
Darkcell is in my room
Darkcell with the mortal freak
Darkcell let me speak to you..
Let me out
Let me
Let me out
My way
your pain
You say that you don't really need me
then why are you trying to bleed me
you think you're getting over
with your four leaf clover
You make your life
so simple and clean
a blurry jaded view
on the scheme of things
a sometimes lover
next to no other
2x:
i don't wanna hang around
can't take no more
don't wanna f*** around with you
no more
it's over
2x chorus:
don't you stand
stand in my way
got no time
to deal with your pain
Ultimate times
flat rap with no rhymes
rehashin of thoughts
of a sublimes love
turbulent road
empty built on no hope
that promise you've changed
won't work forever
i've waited so long
can't get no better
don't waste my time
'cause i'm getting mine
2x:
but until that day
i want you to stay out
4x chorus
Dreamed you
see tight through you
want you
got to get you
take you
scar you
use you
abuse and lose you
2x:
my way
your pain
I don't wanna hang around
can't take no more
don't wanna f*** around with you
no more
it's over
2x chorus
Dreamed you
see right through you
want you
got to get you
take you
scar you
use you
abuse and lose you
In your dream you see me clear
I have no restraint, no fear
Powerless I watched from faces I'd assumed.
My purpose set. My will defined.
Caress the air.
Embrace the skies.
Escape the sorrow and restraint of mortal cities.
Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What possesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
So many years I stood among the thoughts
and tears of those I served.
Among my own I was alone through my own doing.
All the years I walked unknown
behind the faces I assumed.
Powerless to clear your mind of what you'd suffered.
They fall again.
They fall again.
Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What possesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
There is no faith in which to hide.
Even truth is filled with lies.
Doubting angels fall to walk among the living.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.
I'd only come here seeking peace.
I'd only come here seeking me.
It seems I came to leave.
Coldness, deception
The anger
How did it feel to be left in the dark?
Delusions, deceptions
How does it feel?
Useless, unloved, left to die?
One is left out in the cold
Feels nothing, cries for help
Wrenches your stomach, grips from within
Trials of pain, touches of sin
How does it feel?
Useless, unloved, left to die?
How does it feel?
Coldness, deception, left to die?
How does it feel?
Delusions, deception, left to die?
How does it feel?
Useless, unloved, left to die?
How does it feel?
Coldness, deception, left to die?
Sister midnight comes blaspheming
screaming in the keys of faith and fear
unentweining our spines twists me to kneeling...
spilling like the moonlight on her glistering rear
defiled at heart
in this perfect hell
under red leaves bleeding
over sealed chatéau we fell
to demonocracy
where neither adam or eve
conceived of such iniquites
from pleasure or pain
or the razor´s edge in between
thou art my seventh heaven burning
going down as with the sun...
writhing like a river
fluids moves a torrent
bound to please
on denierred knees
in any wicked way
that her whims may warrant
i hang on every verb
every dirty word
interred
in her pornoglossa...
christlike, whipped and weak
painted nails driven through the meek
yet in obituary
my dreams still weep
of dark blood and fuc*** thee
thou art my seventh heaven burning
going down as with the day
baring lunar curvature
like canvas for a lick of pain
writhing like a viper
deep inside her eden
forbidden to eat
i kiss leylines to her feet
then baithing wrath
i steal a path
back to the fruits of her womb
back to the crack of her tomb...
her roseate sliver
quivers with snuff appeal
the torque of her hips
lip-syncs me in for the kill
tongue-tied, tightroped and spread like disease
i drain the cup of this miss sire
her waters into wine for me
thou art my seventh angel squirming
´neath the forked tongue of the beast
arching toward the fabled
like a sculptured nymph seeking base relief
whilst the world outside
(a wood of suicide)
would die for this release
our slow orgasmic fuses greet...
by night and by candle
at each other´s throats
in a slick drift of red
setting god´s teeth on edge
we were as wolves preying inside the fold
of a slaughtered lamb throw
on a four poster bed...
succulent, succubus
laid without rest
in the dead of the night
succulent. succubus
in thy arms
and thy wetness
on glossed lips i taste
conspiracies, seccrecies, sorceries laced
with thick unguent rum
black-rayed suns and autumn
always in season for our nightfall from grace
gorge upon my seed
starved persephone
succulent. succubus. succour me
that i might keep
thee with me in hades
succulent. succubus. succour me
Twilight
Still not dark
The snow on the ground sheds some light
A silhouette not taller than a child
Appears in the doorway
Too strange to be real yet too real to be a dream
Immense fear grabs a hold of me
I'm paralysed numb and naked
Branches passes me I see treetops beneath me
A floor in grey below me slowly shuts like an iris
Activity - and all turns black once again
Lunacy - my weakness force me to follow
Encountering a depth of hate never seen
Blood runs cold I cease exist and my soul is hollow
Deprived of all pride
I've been stripped of all value
I'm worth nothing here
And I know no-one
She stares at me
At least I perceive her as a she
And she speaks to me I can hear her
Her lips doesn't move
Why can't I be left alone to live my life in harmony
The visitors by night makes this a living nightmare
Deprived of all pride
I've been stripped of all value
Worth nothing here
And I know no-one
[solo englund]
Deprived of all pride
I've been stripped of all value
Worth nothing here
And i know no-one
Deprived of all pride
I've been stripped of all value
On the other side
Of the dark waters
We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the color runs together
I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever
Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Time dancers whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven
Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever
Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light
Dance me into the night
Underneath the full moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin
Oh let me wheel, let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light
I hope you don't mind
But I see you as my sanctuary
I like the way that you are my sanctuary
I hope you don't mind
But I see you as my sanctuary
I like the way that you sleep on your shoes
It's the dark walk
The shade of an whispering spirit
came crying to my bed
its cold dead lips have cursed me
and brought me endless pain
my flesh is getting colder
years passed in just one night
restlessly i'm wandering
as a phantom preparing for my death
Blood is life
Dark visions - so clear in candlelight
my dreams hunt me again this night
empty eyes, so cold like frozen stars
my body's touched
by your immortal kiss
desires make me fly to you
oh, darkness, my velvet destiny
hold me close
your embrace makes me strong
I kissed her neck and she grasped for me
her face so pale as she looked at me
her blood in me, she's a part of me
a dance in shades and she embraced me
how sweet she was while i sipped her blood
how loud she cried as she fell down to dust
In the bright shine of the moonlight i fly
above the ocean that will capture her soul
Towards the place where her destiny lies
where her body will remain
Together in underworld, Hades and Persephone
Daughter of Ceres, a tragic fate
It fell to your lot the day you ate
Apples from the Elysian fields
chorus:
Persephone in (the) underworld
Forever in the underworld, (the) fate of Persephone
Only the summer will set you free
But you'll be forced back to your husband
When you taste the pomegranate juice
chorus:
Persephone in (the) underworld
Inside the underworld
Inside the ice and winter snow
(In the) water of Cyane
Your girdle float
Underworld Venus Persephone
High above the roof tops,
Higher than the milky way,
Slipping through the hour glass,
Shooting up the desert plain,
You are one life older than before,
But you can't stop the chill,
Now you're falling in slow motion,
Though the air is still.
If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.
You are on the outside,
Hands upon the window sill,
I am on the inside,
Carving up the hunters kill.
If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.
Cruising on a missile,
Cruising on a desert plain,
Wading through a minefield,
Wading through the monsoon rain,
Surfing on an oil spill,
Surfing on a perfect wave,
Porn upon the airwaves,
Rituals of the mating game.
If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.
Love, oh don't we know how can the river flow
Without you.
Warming like the sand upon the land.
How can we doubt you?
Dark to me the night and dim the morning light
Tomorrow.
How can we not see the simple melody
Of sorrow?
Oh to be with you, oh to see them through
Those days when we think you are gone,
They are so lonesome, and so long.
What shall we do?
Parting comes to soon, my weary tune
Has lost its pleasure.
Waiting for the time, this lonely wine
Has lost its treasure.
Dark to me the night and dim the morning light
Tomorrow.
How can we not see the simple melody
Of sorrow?
Oh to be with you, oh to see them through
These days when we think you are gone,
They are so lonesome, and so long.
What shall I do?
Funny feelings dressed in black
in the darkness where i'm at
no one sees you in the dark
i can't see you in the dark
let me turn my flashlight on
let's be selfish and keep that light for our own
now tell me i can light your face
so i can have someone, to look at in this dark space
my head is spinning
too much whisky in my blood
tell me now if you're afraid
or if you want me to go away
is this
a sunny no sun day
a sunny no sun day
funny feelings dressed in black
in the darkness where i'm at
no one sees you in the dark
i can't see you in the dark
let me turn my flashlight on
let's be selfish and keep that light for our own
now tell me i can light your face
so i can have smoeone, to look at in this dark space
my head is spinning
too much whisky in my blood
tell me now if you're afraid
or if you want me to go away my head is spinning
too much whisky in my blood
tell me now if you're afraid
or if you want me to go away
a sunny no sun day
a sunny no sun day
a sunny no sun day
Sometimes even i feel
i believe i really do that someday
i will remember life for if the dark love ever was pure
it was so definitely ours do you remember
how we slaughtered the hordes of light
the two of us together like ravens on blackened ground
so cold lie our sisters and brothers
with dreams of autumn death silently
things have changed and the forest breeds our eternity
Der hviler en nat under sorte vinterboge
der hviler en nat i tr?ernes sk?r
der hviler en nat under danske himle
der hviler en nat for altid
Dream my love
dream away the darkness
in dreams soothe me well
soon i will enter her darkened caves
and together we will embrace the night
Der hviler en nal under sorte vinterboge
der hviler en nal i tr?ernes sk?r
der hviler en nal under danske himle
der hviler en nal for altid
Dark summernights of eternal twilight
Der hviler en nat under sorte vinterboge
der hviler en nat i tr?ernes sk?r
der hviler en nat under danske himle
der hviler en nat for altid
"i do" still echoing in my ears
der hviler en nat under sorte vinterboge og under manen fandt vi den
I like to walk in the summer breeze
Down Dalling Road by the dead old trees
And drink with my friends
In the Hammersmith Broadway
Dear dirty delightful old drunken old days
Then the winter came down and I loved it so dearly
The pubs and the bookies where you'd spend all your time
And the old men that were singing
When the roses bloom again
And turn like the leaves
To a new summertime
Now the winter comes down
I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around Christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation
And I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of London
Every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT
And the drugged up psychos
With death in their eyes
And how all of this really
Means nothing to me
Now the winter comes down
I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around Christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation
And I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of London
Every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT
And the drugged up psychos
With death in their eyes
And how all of this really
Means nothing to me
Now the winter comes down
I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around Christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation
And I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of London
To wander the dark streets of London
To wander the dark streets of London
I can see the writing on the wall
I can hear the axe before it falls
I can really feel it through me
I can see the sea begin to glow
I can feel it leaking down below
I can barely stand it
What you're doing to me
[Chorus]
And in the morning will
Still feel the same?
How you going to stop yourself
From going insane
With glowing children
And a barrel of pain
I don't want to hear it
I can feel the heat begin to rise
I can see the vapors in my eyes
Anyway you look at this
It's hard to take
I can feel my skin begin to peel
I can see the dollar and the deal
I can see the companies
That are on the make
[Chorus]
No, no, no, no!
Fort surrounded by waters during that winter of battles
those waters were covered by diamondlike ice
in that castle of stone under siege of curved sabres
it was so freezing, so cold and no food
Sorceress of that castle got an idea to help
them away from the hunger to the victory of war
she just needed to practice sex magic with the warlord
lord from enemy side to fulfill victory rite
So she started to enchant warlord from enemy camp
young warlord seemed to fall in love with sorceress
but he was just pretending - he was magician too
by the science of sorcery he knew the attempt for deceit
So he was acting like falling in love with the sorceress
and finally she asked him to meet her in the dark
in the darkness secretly at the gates of castle
she promised to give herself for warlord
Warlord took his warriors along to the gates
those warriors were hiding in the shadows of the walls
sorceress opened the gate for warlords entering
but too late she noticed attack of enemy
Fortunately for that castle and for defenders of it
guard noticed the intruders, so he alarmed all soldiers
after short battle enemy was killed
sorceress was arrested as a traitor of the land
She was sentenced to the sentence of death
she was put to prisonment. her dungeon was walled up
and she died in that dungeon, but she set infernal curse
epidemic arrived - most of warriors died
That fort still stands in middle of dark waters
and every dead of the night a phantom of sorceress
wanders at those corridors, haunts in those huge halls
and you can hear the echo of her sobbing from the walls...
Castle stands on the islands of stone
it is surrounded by dark waters
centuries on it's place
for centuries more it shall do the same
It's history so cruel
the fort was cursed by eerie doom
there's a witch enclosed into the wall
no one knows exact place where
there's a tree on the wall
more than thirty feel tall
it is said it's roots
grew from the heart of sorceress
every night she haunts
on the corridors of fort
her restless soul
wanders in those huge halls
Autumn long time ago
the colossal stone fort
inside that dark walled castle
beautiful young female dwelt
Dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord
dark sorceress, worshipper of the ramford
Dark witch used black magic
gestic magic in the war
in was against warriors
wielders of the curved sabres
Dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord
dark sorceress, worshipper of the ramford
Another stormy night during that autumn of fights
the enemy broke the gates and came with their sharp blades
sorceress casted the spell to protect the castle
she performed her rite against intruders with sabres
Sky turned to dark
the sorceress draw the mark
mark of the ramford in the air
strongest thunderstorm was created
lightnings everywhere
electricity in the air
lightning casted the shadows
of the ramford onto the wall
enemy saw that shape
and because of that they escaped
the shadow of the ramford
on the wall of black powered fort
(behold) dark sorceress, daughter of the castle lord
(hark) dark sorceress, worshipper of the ramford...!
Baby, I love you
So what the hell am I a gonna do?
Baby, I need you
I need you like I need another shoe
You're wicked. you know it
You tease me all the day and all the night
I'm aching, I'm shaking
I'm so tired of holding on I cannot fight
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action
Baby, convert me
Pull me back together. heal my soul
Baby, I'm praying
I'll die and go to heaven 'fore I'm old
Burn me, reduce me
Strip me down and burn me to the core
D'ja hear me. I'm hungry.
I've feasted on your eyes and I need more
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action
Angel, fill me with your song
Angel, you're stringing me along
Baby, I love you
So what the hell am I a gonna do?
Baby, no foolin'
So when you gonna drop this being cool?
Maybe I'm crazy
But I don't give it up for just a kiss
I'm ready. rock steady
If you leave me like this you gonna miss
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action
Dark, sneak, love
Angel, fill me with your song
Angel, you're stringing me along
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action
Dark sneak love action

As simple as it sounds, is as simple as it ought to be
Light skin girls lack the dark skin quality
Ya don't understand? You want an explanation?
Well let D-E-L release the frustration
As I see it, every single day
Light skin girls ain't satisfied unless they get their way, always
Plus they act stuck up
They all add up to one great big fuck up
They try to play suck up when they want somethin'
Then always leave a brother with nothin'
Ya think ya look better cause ya skin's a little bit lighter?
You're thinkin' you're my type like I was a typewriter?
No, ya think ya all of that and all of this
But you ain't really shit without a makeup kit
See, ya might be light but ya ugly to me
Black is beautiful, to me, that's beauty
Dark skin girls are better than light skin
Light skin girls ain't better than dark skin
I disagree homeboy
Dark skin girls are better than light skin
Light skin girls ain't better than dark skin
I disagree homeboy
Now, lets get to the problems
And see if there's a way to solve them
Problem #1, has got to be the attitude
Which is usually vain, selfish and rude
Personality, with her nose stuck up
So don't try talkin' to her or walkin' with her
To class cause it's out of the question
Cause you bein' dark is the wrong complexion
For her she wish she was light, though
I mean lighter than light, or as close to white as possible
But I fight to stay a brother
You see, green and dark skin sisters are the color
This don't apply to all the girls with light skin
Just the ones with their heads up their rear end
Cause if it did, static would occur
Dark skin cuties is what I prefer
Now, look at her, her vision is a blur
Cause contact lenses only let ya see Benzes
Plus she would fuss and cuss if I tried to talk to her
Cause I'm a man who rides the bus
I get frustrated, well, lets say I used to
Now a dark and lovely is who I give juice to
So come on, step to Del if ya with this
This is the facts, so brothers don't forget this
Dark skin girls are better than light skin
Light skin girls ain't better than dark skin
I disagree homeboy
Dark skin girls are better than light skin
Light skin girls ain't better than dark skin
I disagree homeboy
I can't understand you light skin wenches
Ya think ya all that cause ya have long extensions?
Your hair was natural now ya got played out braids
You woulda looked better with a fade
Dark skin girls are so fly, so honest, so sweet
That's the type of girl I wanna meet
Complete, not phony or a fake like you are
See, Del is bolder, I tap you on the shoulder
And say, \"Hey lighty, could you tap that sister for me?\"
But you love Mr. Loveable so you'll just ignore me
So find another tip that you can hop upon
To get with me ya need some sun and some Coppertone
You'll take a white boyfriend before a black one
That's why Del has to stand and attack one
Next time you see a girl darker than you
No disrespect when you met her, cause the girl looked better than you
Dark skin girls are better than light skin
Light skin girls ain't better than dark skin
Dark skin girls are better than light skin
Light skin girls ain't better than dark skin
I disagree homeboy
[Music by Unterpertinger]
[Instrumental]
Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member
Left with his hand tied
Everything points in the wrong direction
All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control
What's left, the faintest laughter
We're out of focus, we've lost control
I blame our ego and you call me names
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You gotta reach further
For what life shall provide
Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye, scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone
We're out of focus, we've lost control
I blame our ego and you call me names
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You gotta reach further
For what life shall provide
We're out of focus, we've lost control
I blame our ego and you call me names
You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You gotta reach further
For what life shall provide
I looked over my shoulder
Straight into your eyes
As you stood in my shadow
In some loud disguise
You were lookin' straight through me
Like a piece of glass
Out of step with the fashion
Fashions always pass
I've been living
On the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something
That would never come
Feeling restless and jaded
My heartbeat paralyzed
Like some refugee hero
To beat denounced and denied
In some rock and roll wasteland
In a thousand hours
While Madonnas keep smiling
Present them with the flowers
I've been living
On the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something
That would never come
And I've been running down the shadows
Like a street gang to survive
Hoping for something to keep me alive
I looked over my shoulder
Fire in my eyes
We were looking for justice
What we got was a great big surprise
We've been living
On the dark side of the sun
Waiting for something
That would never come
And we've been running from the shadows
Like some street gang to survive
Waiting for something to keep us alive
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Been living on the dark side
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
And I've been running from the shadows
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
I am the uncalled dream
Out of the dark of the night
My mighty rage turns my senses into force
Do you know how it has been the last time?
Do know what it means if all hope dies?
I am the crack between the dimensions
The picture you'll never see
I am king of your dreams
My brother is the life and my father is death
Dark shadows on the wall
And my blood flows again
Dark shadows on the wall
Forgotten place
Forgotten dream
You think you can understand me
But be careful cause still there are worlds existing
Not everyone is allowed to come in
Worlds you never have seen before
Can you feel my inner bleeding?
Come give me your hand
Can you tell me who I am?
I am king of your dreams
My brother is the life and my father is death
Dark shadows on the wall
And my blood flows again
Dark shadows on the wall
Forgotten place
Forgotten dream
For a moment the world turns its back
and you let me come closer
though the hearts were filled with fear
for this dark secret love
Oh let the world turn its back
and please let me come closer
though the hearts filled with fear
for this love
Our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
what is it our
dark secret love?
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm,
for love is strong as death
and jealousy is cruel as the grave.
the coals thereof
are coals of fire,
which hath a most blazing flame.
I love you - i love you
i love you - i love you
i love you - i love you
For a moment the world turns its back
and you let me come closer
though the hearts touched with joy
Our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
what is it our
dark secret love?
Our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
what is it our
dark secret love?
Part i: the ancient prophecy
[iras]
"it was a good time for all creatures of the earth,
but fate decreed that the dark prophecy of a demon knight
could bring a tragic end to this peace
scarring their lives forever.
Shortly before his defeat in the last of the primordial wars between the heavens and hells
the evil son of the hellgod, kron, known as nekron, withdrew to his lair in the underworld.
there, sensing his impending death, he inscribed a testament of pure evil in seven black books.
one by one, six of these books were discovered throughout the ages,
however the seventh, last and most terrible of all contained the secret of his resurrection.
he commanded seven immortal demons to carry out his dark plan.
but they were turned into stone by the angels of the crystal realms.
and so his dreams slept with them until a time came when the forces of evil would usurp the earth.
nekron would rule in the unholy name of cosmic chaos...
and this time he would reign supreme!"
Part ii: ira divina
Ira divina
a dolore nunc libera nos
tacet rota temporis
nunc est silentium
sempiternus angelus
a malo libera nos
a malo
Something happened, something's gone,
the lost so great, forever gone.
the raised hammer, the hitten nail,
under your skin, biting your veins.
The sun won't rise as yesterday,
the widow won't cry after her loves,
even just yesterday, she cried the sea,
her tears as rivers, sorrow as the sea.
I am drowning, in the
dark sea of misery,
the lance goes through my heart,
the stallion dances on my grave.
The knight has taken of his helmet.
his sword is broken, honor is gone.
the traitor did burn, their round table,
but he doesn't care, he is tired to...
Trying to live, in pain, in rain.
rain drops so hot, don't quit, don't stop.
the sorrow of the widow, will end, don't bend
to the misery, live, breathe andwin.
You will always see the light in the end of the tunnel,
in the darkest dungeon.
dive to the sea of misery, but light your way with hope,
don't ever quit.
but so often, your own strength just ain't enough.
pray and you'll see, your sword will be new and clean
The deal was rigged
There's darkness in my soul
I want to die again
An empty soul shrouded in darkness
Alone and confused what am I?
Images flash memories jaded
He took my life God damn his lies
Fight spawn of the damned, bring down the heavens
Smash in the gates, burn 'em down
You must accept the fate that you've chosen
You will obey your destiny
[Chorus]
I cheated myself for love
Love unconditional
Now just to see her face
I've lost it all
I know there's goodness in me
Though I'm not the same
I will defy the master
I will refuse to be his slave
No, I was betrayed I can't accept this
My future's unclear, it's a lie
I'll follow my heart stand and be counted
The curse will lift I will survive
[Chorus]
In the darkness where your soul shivers at night
Together with the dust of time
The lie - your heart desires
Gives you wings
The only one who wants it
To return one day
In a dark room we watch alone
In a world of sin and pain
In a dark room we watch alone
You and I
In a world of sin we die
Gain back everything by force
Give a part of it to me
And think about nothing
The deep fall will be my pain
My past will be my future
I have to leave it behind me
Submerged in time
With the burning fire of yesterday
If the believe will die
You'll be a human without a heart
Then truth has no sense any longer
In a dark room we watch alone
In a world of sin and pain
In a dark room we watch alone
You and I
In a world of sin we die
A black star fell down the night I was reborn
A last chance to save us, a last chance to turn dusk to dawn
The vultures they cried out
Their welcome to greet my arrival
The shadows they danced for my death
At the nightmare's trial
The demons of fear tearing my sad soul apart
A horned winged creature laughed out its scorn to the dawn
The sun wasn't able to send down its light, swallowed by thoughts in my mind
Dark was my conscience, I was the last of my kind
[Chorus]
I was dead
Awake in hell
A lonely corpse
To break the spell
A soul in flames
A heart in chains
Can't you see
You must believe
The witchbrew was drained, I couldn't escape my fate
Wrong was this place full with awful disgrace and hate
Sweet ancient memories, fragments of times that have passed
Came to my mind like a blessing with grace for my eyes
[Chorus]
Sacrilege
By my hand
As a worthless pale memory
They look upon the old
The defiling of our land
And glorious nature
Shall become their undoing
As we lay our hate
And powers upon them
The dark eternity
I am veiled in wind
I am not alone
Unleashed hate and anger
By mountains strength
We shall prevail by our unity
And for the old - for the old
Battle cries shall rage up
From all our valleys
Unleashed hate and anger
By mountains strength
We shall prevail by our unity
Our hurling storms of hatred
Curse their wretched souls
Our great spirit of strength
Shall battle to the death
With wisdom we walk
With might we slay
And their spiritless bodies
We shall dance upon
Peace shall never be thine
And we shall feast
And we shall sing
In our neverending glory
On our path of the wise
We shall dance on our hallowed ground
Our souls are as one
With earth - spirit
And the old - the old
In my deepest mood
Hear my call for you O' Mighty One
My protector above
Let me share your sights
Take me far away
Let me ride with you on the back
Of the Red Great Dragon
I am Daemon Tabaan
Hear my call
Demon Empress, second face of Lilith
I'm on my way into your domains
And I will find you, I seek not in vain
I'll cross through your deserts, I'll cross through your seas
Beyond the black mountains until you appear

You're on the run, you're on the run again
And I'm missing you
You're on the run, you're having fun again
At the cost of me and you
Midnight hour and the eyes of passion
Go flashing out of your ivory tower
As you sip your wine of fashion and you
You say that you will never despair because
You don't matter what you do you don't care
And I, I
I, I, see my sky turn black
And my moon get dark without you
Because of you
When I'm gone you sell your time to anyone who
Can afford to foot the bill for
Yhe way you carry on
You have no fear of breakin' hearts 'cause
You say the life that you live is just too short
And I, I
I, I get my sky painted black
And my moon painted dark just by you
And in a fit of passion
A blue light's flashin' for you
I can't believe that you want to leave again
That's the tenth time that you went
And then came back and asked me
You expect me to just be there and take back you
And tell you how much I care
But I, I
See my eyes cry as my sky turns black
And my moon gets painted by you
I have fits of passion the sky was flashin' blue
And my sky gets black and my moon goes dark
I, I
I, I see my sky get black
And my moon go dark without you
And the sky is flashin'
In a fit of passion with you
And there's thunder crashin'
You sip your wine of fashion and you
Get intoxicated on life and leave me here blue
And my sky gets black
And my moon goes dark because of you
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love?
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love?
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love?
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love?
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor

You feel confusion and new torment as your mind decays
Devolution of your life - begins today - begins today
Hear the sircas scream in vain
Despair for your life
Hope is futile as missiles strike
A cruel twist of the knife
Those that dominate, direct their hate
Life obliterate, humans terminate
Hope for a future, is what you say
With your world in ruins, what a price to pay
As you crawl through the wreckage - you can't believe
Could mankind really be so naive
This world now twisted, brought to its knees
With the people in power left to oversee
A world totally deformed, no hope of being reborn
The heart from it now torn, this world now we all mourn
Look to the future, on your knees now pray
With this world in ruins, what a price to pay
Your world's now in ruins
What a price you paid
Inside the vehicle the cold is extreme
Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream
I try to relax but its warmer outside
I fail to connect, it's a tragic divide
This has become a full time career
To die young would take only 21 years
Gun down a school or blow up a car
The media circus will make you a star
Dark matter flowing out on to a tape
Is only as loud as the silence it breaks
Most things decay in a matter of days
The product is sold the memory fades
Crushed like a rose
In the river flow
I am I know
Ran away, would of stay
but loneliness made me afraid
my heart decided and my feet obeyed
now i'm living just to love you
Day again, night again
i'm waiting for a ride again
i need to be inside again
and a friendly fire to warm me
[chorus:]
by love i mean
we'll be alone together
by love i mean
i want to spend my life with you
by love i mean
i will need or want no other
that's what i mean by love
Back again, inside again
feeling i'm alive again
got my lover, got my friend again
and i got some pride inside me
Ran away, would of stay
but loneliness made me afraid
my heart decided and my feet obeyed
now i'm living just to love you
[chorus]
Sitting alone in the doghouse
Thinking of you all the time
Sighing, crying
Sitting alone in the doghouse
Thinking of you all the time
Sighing, crying
Dark lady
Sitting alone by my window
Counting the stars of the night
Waiting, hating
Sitting alone by my window
Counting the stars of the night
Waiting, hating
Dark lady
Sitting and watching the sunrise
Darkness is filling my eyes
Sighing, crying
Sitting and watching the sunrise
Darkness is filling my eyes
Sighing, crying
Dark Lady
The fortune queen of New Orleans,
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass,
She said \"home James\" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room,
She took my money, she said \"I'll be with you soon\"
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack,
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place,
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
So I ran home and crawled in my bed,
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume,
And how I smelled it was in my own room!
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man,
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor,
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
It's time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
O' don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
It's time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all
It's time, yeah, to break free
It's time to pull away
For you and for me
It's time, yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery
It's time we said goodbye
Time for you and I
O' don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
Weak and sick I crawl
In the dust of past mistakes
Leaving for the darkness
Of tears and cold heartaches
Suffer in this grief
Of forever burning hate
The ashes of my life
By the torment you create
On my knees, remembering
The wasted years of dark insanity
The rage increases fast
As the memories eat me alive
God, I wish this to end
But I'm not prepared to die
No more a human being
Just a fool of anxiety
Unable to escape
The darkest insanity
Memories of loss
memories of fear
are the ones you shall wake
up to my darkest dear
Down into the depths
of your minds wonderland
breathing the air, tasting the fruits
you are feeding from my hand
I guide you beyond yourself
your eyes are blinded by desire
come into my world...
welcome to fire
You are screaming in pain
as I am laughing in ecstasy
forever branded you will be

Abeline
You were new in town, I was nineteen
And sparks flew
They called us crazy behind our backs
\"Romnatic fools\" we just let them laugh
Because we knew
It may be a long shot
We may get lonely down the line
But love knows no reason
And I won't let 'em make up my mind
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
The stars are brighter in the desert sky
No need to wonder or justify
Where this will lead
I wear your locket, our picture's inside
Inscription says 'the joy's in the ride'
And I believe
That something so sacred
Is something worth this kind of fight
Cause love knows no patience
You can't please everyone all the time
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
So rare
So sweet
Together baby, I know
We can
Disappear
Be free
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is saying it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run

You were new in town
I was nineteen
You thought that you knew where I was and when
But it looks like they've been foolin' you again,
You thought that you'd got me all steaked out
But baby looks like I've been breaking out
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse.
You thought you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And I became too slippery for you
But let me say that was nothing new.
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I picked up my first spoon
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse
I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heard a little late
But I warned you when
We both were at the starting gate
I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since I stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Cooking at the source
I'm a dark horse.
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to be at home alone
And knowin' that you're gone
Would cause me to lose my mind.
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm going away, I'm leaving today
I'm goin', but I ain't comin' back.
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to be in some big city,
In a small room, with you on my mind.
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to see you another man's darlin'
And to know that you'll never be mine.
It's all good
Clever clap of lightning
Flash before the sound
The dark heart is dawning
There's no one else around
Violate me like an animal
Like you always do
While the dark heart is dawning
And the sky is as black as you
I came up in it
I crash down in it
It's all good
I feel complete in it
I black out in it
It's all good
It's all good
Burning branches of synaptic fire
Surf the serotonin swells
While the dark heart is dawning
And cuts the wound that nothing quells
Impotent in your hatred
I've been cut but never bled
Though your dark heart is dawning
This child can see a light ahead
Though I came up in it
I'm not defined by it
It's all good
I felt complete in it
Now cuttin free of it
It's all good
And in the age of love, you came and split my heart
And in the rage of love, you taught the joy in pain
And in the age of love, I found my sacred place
Where I can hide
From the dark heart that's dawning
Like now
From the dark heart that's dawning
And in the age of love, you came and split my heart
And in the rage of love, you taught the joy in pain
And in the age of love, I found my sacred place
Where I can hide
From the dark heart that's dawning
Like now
Dark Heart Dawning
Calm's still coming
Waves keep rising
Time keeps takin' her time
Time keeps takin' her time
Oh where are you now
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone
You promised the stone from your heart.
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down
Treading the sand
Please.
Please lift a hand
I'm only a person
Whose armbands beat
On his hands, hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
Oh
Oh
Oh
The poppy bird's way
Swing twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground.
I was half the way down
Treading the sand
Please
Please
Please lift a hand
I'm only a person
With eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
Oh
Oh
Oh
Dark, dark forest
no way through
where am i?
where are you?
Underground the roots are your hair
and the leaves, leaves are your hair
behind the changing face
Many times we try
many times we get by
She walked across the line
but we couldn't find her
we didn't find her
Watching all the streams in their eyes
and all this time we get by
And now each time i miss you
i wouldn't count these tears from my eyes
and now each time i miss you
i wouldn't count these tears from my eyes
from my eyes
Night, night comes here
with every breath
with every step
closes over me
Underground the roots are your hair
and the leaves, leaves are your hair
behind your changing face
Many times we try
caught there by the tide
we walked into the light
but we couldn't find her
we didn't find her
Watching all the streams in their eyes
and all this time we get by
And now each time i miss you
i wouldn't count these tears from my eyes
and now each time i miss you
i wouldn't count these tears from my eyes
from my eyes
Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside
They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide
I live in another world where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls and all I see are dark eyes.
A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer
Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere
But I hear another rum beating for the dead that rise
Whom nature's beast fear as they come and all I see are dark eyes.
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet, I'm sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game, where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel is heat and flame, and all I see are dark eyes.
Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy prize to the falling god of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,
Blacker still is the winter's turning,
As the sadness of parting proves.
And brighter now is the lantern burning
That lightens my path to love.
No fiddle tune will take the air,
But I will see his swift feet dancing
And the swirl of his dark brown hair,
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair.
And if my waiting prove in vain,
Then I will pack and track ever take me.
The long road will ease my pain.
No jewel of mankind would ever make me
Whisper love's words again.
For in drink I'll seek good company,
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter,
And I'll hear not his last sweet sigh.
And who's to know in the morning after
How I long for his dear dark eyes
How I long for his dear dark eyes
How I long for his dear dark eyes
Human rights
Has been lost
Inside the walls
Rules the pain
Prisoners
Live like swine
Working slaves
For the guards
Fading screams descends
Killing rape and death
Is part of their lives
They cannot appear
Without the violence
In darkness
Eternal
Fighter, rider of the human rights
The killing decision is coming from behind
Disinter the background of this obscene hell
Discover the fear, the sickness and the death
Slough of despond
Deny the human rights
Killing is a joy
No, it will never stop
Dark eternity
Human rights
Has been lost
Inside the walls
Rules the pain
Prisoners
Live like swine
Working slaves
For the guards
Fading screams descends
Killing rape and death
Is part of their lives
They cannot appear
Without the violence
In darkness
Eternal
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me
I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for what we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street
You and me
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us all some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us
They're gonna find us oh some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
And when the daylight hour rolls round
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet then just walk on by
Oh darling please please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Oh tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street
Here I am the remains of me
My eyes tired but I can't sleep
My muscles withers
The weakness sows it's seed
God I ask you for your meaning of this
Can't you see what has become of my
Can't you see the tears I cry in horror
As last my eyes are closed and I am breathing slowly
Hoping again that this is the end
And I am on my way to embrace the holy
Look me in the eyes
What have you found in me
A dark discovery
In my dreams I try to hide away
But there is no shelter to find
And I try to reach to the light of the day
I rage against the dying of the light
God was I wish that I was all alone
Oh god all the ones that I learned to know
Think about those who I leave in sorrow
It is not fair why do I have to go
Please I beg you
To take away my pain
The dark discovery
What have you found in me
The dark discovery
The dark discovery
[Solo: Englund]
We all have to die eventually
But of course I didn't want to die
I wasn't old or infirm or in bad health
But most of all I didn't want to leave
My darling wife and my young son
Who now has no father to look after him
And that is my greatest regret
Hands folded in a prayer,
A rosary embedded in-between ... -
Tonight I'll join you in your sleep.
(... sleep brings no joy to me ...)
I'll bring you back to life this night,
It's meant for the flesh at least ... -
I'll join you in your sleep.
(... sleep brings no joy to me ...)
Come up, I hear your voice ... - this is not me,
I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
I'll shiver at the recollection,
When I'll awake with the soil ... on my hands.
I know, they will find you ... fallen asleep again,
Between the mounds and crosses.
Tomorrow night it will be just the same ... -
It will be just the same.
(... sleep brings no joy to me ...)
Okay
If you shed blood with me to this point, you deserve an explanation
For all the hell you've endured, while helping me reach my destination
And this effort to bless the nation
I've might had did more harm than good
But I've always showed you heart, this is just my but apart from would
Man I love the darkest hood
But also the brightest suburb
To think I would just despise the folks because I'm broke and white it's absurd
I'm told be tight you get heard, but I don't hear my vinyl spinning
Yeah we found some distribution, but bet the crying is just beginning
'Cause these bright nights, could lead to dark days and vice versa
Even if Greg Street don't play, I guarantee you a nice purchase
Frankly, I'm quite certain I'm the livest fucker out there
I'm making love to the truth, inside that vocal booth without care
I won't even talk about stares
From angry illogical rappers
'Cause every time they get confronted, they'll give you head than dap ya
This one don't really need a hook, but Shannon said it'll be a single
So I devote this to my life, so much more than a catch of a jiggle
[Chorus]
Dark days, bright nights
For that outside in the night, you know what Bubba's life is like
Bright nights, dark days
For them broads that truly love me and hate to see me live this way
Dark days, bright nights
For when they say you can't live, fuck 'em, do it just out of spite
Bright nights, dark days
For every person without a voice that got something they need to say
See it's imperative that you know, there's a lot of folks that love Bubba
Not 'cause of any rap I wrote, they see something above gutter
Though, my pockets don't reflect that
It's my vision, and they respect that
Love comes in a form of a various drug, and I can't neglect that
So me and my folks get fucked up like six nights out of seven
That's the bright light of our lives
Like God's shinning light right out of Heaven
But at the conclusion of every session
I wish that Dark Day to expose
The plight of my situation, no blow, no dough for big shows
But still they see we this close from seeing the promise land
So that leads to another bright night, when all of us is college grads
Being loved by the moms and dads
Which some of us wasn't blessed with
You think we all born with two lovin' parents and a treasure chest
Shit, I was fortunate to be loved, by my paternal units
I'm gonna make their son a winner, fuck how bad it'll hurt I'm doing it
Even if I was to ruin it
Never with me and my heart part ways
We developed too strong of a bond, turning bright nights into dark days
[Chorus]
Yeah it's true, I also do get praise from the other side of the tracks
You know, that dark days part of town, when they intentionally hide the blacks
Ain't got no reply to that, I said I'm sorry if I'm to blame
I tried like hell to sooth your soul by planting the facts inside your brain
I never once lied to the game, the acceptance of not one black dude
It's just Bubba that country fucker smoking sages and eating snack foods
Now every time they ask you, why you live the way you choose to
Say 'cause Bubba set you right, the only one they loved, knew you
That leaves you with no excuse to settle with what they offer
He try to pay you the slave wagers, play that role, and tell 'em nah, sir
I'll probably won't even fault you dismiss me as the demon
It is true, I am not you, my skin's the tone of piss and semen
But if we fight this evening, I assure you, we'll both bleed red
And it'll take your whole slum and all your guns to leave me dead
Plus all that blood we shed what do nothin' but server their purpose
So let's unite these bright nights and dark days, then see who nervous
[Chorus]
It feels like abuse
So subtle the noose
So subtle the noose
There is no light
That's what they say
I'm checking out
Not checking in
Drawing lines
Growing out of favor
Out of favor
If it's meant to be
Then set it free
If it's meant to be
It'll come back you see
Watch what you say
And what I don't
Heard what you've asked
And no I won't
Drawing lines
Growing out of favor
Out of favor
If it's meant to be
Then set it free
If it's meant to be
It'll come back you see
Dark days, dark days, dark days
Dark days, dark days, dark days
Oh no! I feel it!
Oh no! I feel it!
Dark days, dark days, dark days
Dark days, dark days, dark days
If it's meant to be
Then set it free
If it's meant to be
It'll come back you see
I didn't know it could get so dark so fast
But from here on its not gonna last
The days are getting longer and I'll have my time
Tomorrow is not far away
From where I stand all alone today
Just add another minute for the sun to shine
My shadow falls hard against this world
It leads me to a special place
It looks away from the shortest day
But it stares right back in my face
The sun at my back gives me a long look
And it won't fail me now
I'm walking straight to a warm embrace
To a day that's never gonna end at all
Don't you feel the chill lift from the air
The sky shines clear to someplace where
There will be no more waiting for the night to end
I didn't know I could get so far so fast
Overcome my shadow and walked right past
Straight into the sunlight
'Cause I know my own way now
I know the darkness will return
The numbing cold and the freezing burn
The days are getting shorter
But I know that I will last
With the approaching of the night, with the setting of the sun
when the dusk fills up the emptiness of the world with its grace
i invoke to you for help to be again on your dark side
it's a dream of every lovelorn man to dance under the moon of naked night
Come to me!dress me with your dark body!
take me in the desert of the night!
dark thoughts of you they don't leave me
i am ready for the dance tonight
Beauty venus is floating,presenting her love to me
in this dance i feel whole her love it grows deep inside of me
In a wild swirl i glide through the night
this dark caress!
oh this dark dance!
Son of mine! she calls me, yeah i know
i wear a dark dress that i can walk in her realm
she has a daughter that will soon be mine
night in its bloom i dance with queen!

Preachers and their followers
Crusading for the light
My stomach twists and tightens up
The feeling is so vile
They're trying to brainwash me
But I am not a fool
Each one shall taste my defecation
As dark becomes the rule
Kill screams my mind
They die by knife and strangulation
Lead pipe to the head
They squeal like pigs
Until I shit upon their severed head
They squeal like pigs
Until I shit upon their severed head
To eternally serve the dark and impure
I breathe each hateful breath
To see their minds and morals destroyed
I shall follow death
Snuff out the life
Of those who force their ways upon me
On their limp carcasses
I leave a token of my disgust
A dark cold sound...
a dark cold sound tears the life i'm given
ignite the vision
the vision that brought cold wind against my childhood soul.
the root of unspoken fear
the root grows deep in my heart
a dark cold sound tears at my life
over and over...
the time when rest is as distant as childhood
when i knew peace
the time when i was happy
the time when i knew peace
before it came after me
it's coming after me
a dark cold sound
Once I had a dream
And this is it
Once there was a child's dream
One night the clock struck twelve
The window open wide
Once there was a child's heart
The age I learned to fly
And took a step outside
Once I knew all the tales
It's time to turn back time
Follow the pale moonlight
Once I wished for this night
Faith brought me here
It's time to cut the rope and fly
Fly to a dream
Far across the sea
All the burdens gone
Open the chest once more
Dark chest of wonders
Seen through the eyes
Of the one with pure heart
Once so long ago
The one in the Big Blue is what the world stole from me
This night will bring him back to me
Fly to a dream
Well I might
Disintegrate into the thin air if you like
And I'm not
The dark center of the universe like you thought
Well it took a lot of work to be the ass that I am
And I'm pretty damn sure that anyone can
Easily, equally fuck ya over
Well God said something but he didn't mean it
Everyone's life ends but no one ever completes it
Dry and wet ice, they both melt
And you're equally cheated
Well it took a lot of work
Well an endless ocean landing on an endless desert
Well it's funny as hell, but no one laughs when they get there
If you can't see the thin air
Why the hell should you care?
Well it took a lot of work
Well sure you'll tell me you've got nothing to say
And I went and shook hands the other day
If you can't see the thin air then
What the hell is in your way?
I'm tired from
Exploring you
I'm sorry you've had some scary days
I'm lucky, they had me on a leash
Exposing, sometimes you frighten me
And it's too bad you're so sad
I wish you could have had what I had
I'm loathing most of your history
Hesitation, but then you siphon me
Your potential, well I'll indulge in that
Violent timing explains the aftermath
And it's too bad you're so sad
I wish you could have had what I had
And it's so sad, it's too bad
Maybe I can make you feel better
Oh maybe I'm supposed to make you feel better
I want to comfort you
Unlike you I had it easy
You're dark blue
Stained from previous days
And you're so sad
It's too bad
I wish you could have had what I had
And it's too bad you're so sad
Maybe I can make you feel better
I'm sorry
He broke the laws of the elders
So they plucked out his eye,
Took his land and fortune,
Left him to die
Bound on the shoreline,
Left for the tide,
See's his life blood leaving...
Circling lower the vultures fly
These bones may be broken
But the spirit can't die
And the Gods see his anguish
And give him a sign
From the floor of the ocean
The ship of the lost souls rise
And they take him where no one sleeps
while the undead cry
Where no one sleeps while the undead cry
And in the world above
The elders sing,
On his land they live
Let death's bell ring
He was met at the gate of Hades
By the Guardian of the Lost Souls,
The Keeper of the Unavenged
And He did say to him:
\"Let you not pass abandon return to the world from once you came
And seek payment not only for thy known anguish
But vindicate the souls of the Unavenged\"
And they placed in his hands a sword made for him called Vengeance
Forged in brimstone and tempered by the woeful tears of the Unavenged
And to carry him up on his journey back to the upper world
They brought forth their Demon horse called Black Death
A grim steed so fiercely might and black in colour
That he could stand as one with the darkness
Save from his burning eyes of crimson fire
And on that night they rode up from Hell
The pounding of his hooves did clap like thunder
Burning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment in full with their lives
No one can escape me on Black Death I ride
When kissed by the sword of Vengeance
Your head lays there by your side
I take the lives of all that I once knew
The torn flesh of a slow death waits for you
Burning, death, destruction raping the daughters and wives
In blood I take my payment in full with their lives
I spare not land or servants my wake is slow dead there
I take their wives and daughters
They stand there watching, watching
Hoping to get my life but when I'm through they know they must pay
Dark as night
Dark as the grave
Dark wherein my friend is laid
Sleepwalkers fill the boulevards
Pretty girls and backward boys
All the voices can be heard
An opera of the absurd
Dark as night
Dark as the grave
Dark wherein my friend is laid
We welcome you
We welcome you
The world of chaos far away
As the crowd of mourners said
Tragedy is nothing new
Dark as night
Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine
It will form like a habit and seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
There is many a man I have seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
I hope when I'm dead and the ages shall roll
That my body will blacken and turn into coal
I will look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Death is present the candle has burned out
The scythe is raised he's eager to reap
The extreme unction prepares for the last flight
But God knows where you will rest
Dark are the veils of death
[Chorus]
To sail the seas of eternal damnation
To cross the desert of woe and despair
Or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia
Your life will be put to the test
Dark are the veils of death
Enter the great adventure
Just wait and see
Heaven or hell will call you
Now when your spirit is free
[Chorus]
Where can your salvation be
Now when your spirit is free
Where can your salvation be
Now when your spirit is free
Fading light
Disappearing light
Tells you darkness is to come
Ancient rites
The death-mass itself
Has never revealed where you will go
You will enter realms where angels fear to tread
Open hidden doors within your mind
Sail with Charon sail into destiny
Accept your death and make it to your own choice
[Repeat 4th Verse]
[Repeat 1st Verse]
[Repeat 3rd Verse]
[Chorus]
A dark angel parachutes down into an abandoned town
He says: Oh, I've been looking for a certain white clown
Doesn't look like you're it
But you're the only one around
So I guess you'll have to do, He says
So anyway...how are you doin'?
I say, Actually, I can't stand all the new machines
It's supposed to be all brand new but it just looks the same\"
He says: Oh, it looks like you're bored. So try this he says to me:
Why don't you get yourself an old beret
And why don't you find an old cafe?
And sit at a time and write something new
That's never been heard before
Or write your own manifesto.
That would do
Just make sure you use a pencil
So you can always get it, you know, right
Look at all the things I've bought
I can't believe what they cost
Just a lot of plastic and numbers on my credit card
I'm feeling kind of lost
The world that used to seem so small
I could wrap my arms around it
Now it seems so big.
And he said: Oh
From your pictures I guessed that you were tall
But actually, I gotta go now
It's a small world full of light
It's a small world full of light
But I wouldn't want to have to paint it
I met this girl,
She walking through one of my dreams
She kissed my eyes and everything that
She said made so much sense to me,
That I still feel like I'm half asleep
My dark angel,
She gave me diamonds for eyes
She walked by
Now I'm hypnotized
By this dream that just won't stop
And I feel like I've always been
Lost in this dream
Rumours of heaven
Only speed the truth on earth
My dark angel
Shine your light on my curse
You are the other that I have to find
Until I do, guess
I'll see you around in my mind
So Colorado
Is the place I have to go
I heard a rumour she loves
The mountains and the snow
Well my dark angel,
She gave me diamonds for eyes
My dark angel,
I offer you my heart
My dark angel,
Think I loved you from the start
Cause there's this face
That I know that I've never seen
Sometimes I feel
I'm living in someone else's dream
Still I thank you for stopping to talk
And I wonder,
Just into who's dream did who walk.
Oh my dark angel
Shine your light on me
Shine your light, Shine your light
Shine your light
On me, on me.
Thunder thunder lightning ahead...long
Kiss you kiss you dark and long
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Thunder thunder lightning
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long
Thunder thunder lightning ahead...long
Kiss you kiss you dark and long...long
Me I'm just a waitress she said
I went and bought a new head she said
I look at you I believe in you she said
Screaming into the eye of the lens
I want to smash it up
I want to break it down
I want a wall of tears...to wash away
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Thunder thunder lightning
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long
Filled with tainted girls and motel frills
What a laugh
You was done up there mate
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
I could kiss you dark and long
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long
Shout your love
The stars are black
The church is sweet
My skin is hot
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long
Shout your love
Darlings are you ready for the long winter's fall?
Said the lady in her parlor
Said the butler in the hall.
Is there time for another?
Cried the drunkard in his sleep.
Not likely
Said the little child. What's done
The Lord can keep.
And the vicar stands a-praying.
And the television dies
As the white dot flickers and is gone
And no-one stops to cry.
The big jet rumbles over runway miles
That scar the patchwork green
Where slick tycoons and rich buffoons
Have opened up the seam
Of golden nights and champagne flights
Ad-man overkill
And in the haze
Consumer crazed
We take the sugar pill.
Jagged fires mark the picket lines
The politicians weep
And mealy-mouthed
Through corridors of power on tip-toe creep.
Come and see bureaucracy
Make its final heave
And let the new disorder through
While senses take their leave.
Families screaming line the streets
And put the windows through
In corner shops
Where keepers kept
The country's life-blood blue.
Take their pick
And try the trick
With loaves and fishes shared
And the vicar shouts
As the lights go out,
And no-one really cares.
Dark Ages
Shaking the dead
Closed pages
Better not read
Cold rages
Burn in your head.
In the time, when darkness ruled
No one saw the light
In the cold black emptiness
Victims of the night
You can't fight what you can't see
To be or not to be
In the dark ages
In the dark ages
Those evil days will still remain
Till someone breaks the chains
Just the strong survive
You have to try, or you will die
In the Dark ages
In the Dark ages
