Visitors
04:07
|

The wardens leave the inmates in expecting calm
Their guns are slung over their shoulders
The news has spread among those on the run
That soon today visitors come
But hour by hour is passing by
But there's no-one to give it a try
If the visitors can't make their way through this time
Will the visitors try it ever again?
If this way's too weary today
Will they reach out and try it again tomorrow?
The hunted cope with Time in a sleepless fight
The curtains are drawn to hide away the light
To keep with the death-clock's tireless pace
That, by and by, chokes the hope of a break
The white coats are lurking and ready to kill
And the patients' impatience is growing still
If the visitors can't make their way through this time
Will the visitors try it ever again?
If this way's too weary today
Will they reach out and try it again tomorrow?
There will be no tomorrow for them
There is only today
There will be no tomorrow for them
There is only today
And no tomorrow for us

Locked-In And Keyless
05:47
|

My alter ego's churning in my blood
I strangle it with all the strength I've got
(But somehow it stays)
A Trojan Horse comes a-creeping
Spiders crawl out when I am sleeping
(But somehow it stays)
My mind is tin-tacked to the wall
It's a place where all motion stalls
(But somehow it stays)
I begin to unwrap my soul
I begin to unwrap my soul
I wish that I could cut my legs
So I can stand on my belly's dregs
(But somehow it stays)
I slice my head into little pieces
Ironing out all those little creases
(But somehow it stays)
I've begun to unwrap my soul
I've begun to unwrap my soul
I've begun to unwrap my soul
(But somehow it stays)
I begin to tear up my soul
I begin to tear up my soul
I begin to tear up my soul
I begin to tear up my soul
(But somehow it stays)
I strangle it
But somehow it stays
And it'll never be going away

This Yellow Heart
05:08
|

The light here's far from perfect
A host to all the shadows
That have gathered in the corners of this room
Pale fingers grope through curtains
They tremble like the leaves outside
The winds blow gently round this silent house
And then I feel the flesh is willing
But my mind is doubt and fear
And this yellow heart has got me stuck in here
And then I feel the winds are chilling
I am frozen to the bone
And this yellow heart has got me out in the cold
And things are to be seen again
Their shapes and forms revive to spread
Their colours over another day
Their veils have sunken down
And again the tarnished mirrors
Are getting back their mimicking life
And then I feel the flesh is willing
But my mind is doubt and fear
And this yellow heart has got me stuck in here
And then I feel the winds are chilling
I am frozen to the bone
And this yellow heart has got me out in the cold

Firewalk
05:37
|
|||
The scream reverberates like sudden gunfire
Repeats itself and piercing through the brain
The terror at the damp of fears perspired
Passing the ordeal
Over white-hot coals we stalk
Broken dreams are buried at the outset for the firewalk
Pack your things, the noise is getting nearer
The chase is on accompanied by drums
The rhythm contemplates a common language
The hunters and the hunted
In anagrams the talk
The passwords lose the meanings at the outset for the firewalk
But we are young
No ambiguious wink, no double-think
And speaking a straight tongue
We are not afraid, we just can't wait
For old songs to be sung
Join the circle, join the flight
And be drawn into the light
Don't be fickle, don't be shy
Open up your tired eyes
See our bodies glow like fireflies
In the night
The flightpath of the course are not that secret
The final aim is not that far away
Like rats that crowd the sinking ship to leave it
The pilots guard the black box
And mark their names with chalk
No person will be missing on the deathroll of the firewalk
The firmness of the grip begins to loosen
The power of your will disintegrates
Don't llok down some vertigo might seize us
Rising from the ashes
At lame-duck choice we balk
Rusted chains are rattling at the outset for the firewalk
But we are young
No ambiguious wink, no double-think
And speaking a straight tongue
We are not afraid, we just can't wait
For old songs to be sung
Join the circle, join the flight
And be drawn into the light
Don't be fickle, don't be shy
Open up your tired eyes
See our bodies glow like fireflies
In the night

IN THE WHITE ROOM
White room
White faces
Enclose me in these sterile white-washed places
Through perspiration and through chill in cold embraces
I lie awake
I await
What Time brings on and on
Black lace
Black curtain
Day or night
In fact I'm so uncertain
I stretch my hand only to touch some passing person
Wide awake
I wait
Until Time moves on and on
Fingers
Are groping up and down my spine
What lingers
Is the ice-cold touch within my mind
Fingers
Penetrate my sleepy state
What lingers
Is the Tension
But I'm not afraid
As long as I'm awake in the White Room
No sound
No voices
I shut this mouth that's full of groaning noises
I close my eyes and then my eye-balls check their poises
Lenses that sway
Beneath my lids into a dream
My sight is fading
I wonder why some stream of light's not breaking
This chain of nights
The lack of light starts taking
My senses away
From the body that I'm in
Fingers
Are groping up and down my spine
What lingers
Is the ice-cold touch within my mind
Fingers
Penetrate my sleepy state
What lingers
Is the Tension
But I´m not afraid
As long as I´m awake in the White Room
HE WILL PAY NOW FOR HIS MURDERS
He will pay now for his murders
His lurking place will soon be found
The crowd is craving for his blood now
Seems he has been sucked into the ground
With his chances close to nix
When they'll get him they'll get their kicks
There's a thirst that must be quenched
Let all his victims get revenge
He will pay now for his murders
His ugly face has just been seen
They'll hunt him down, bring him to justice
And really make him wish it a bad dream
Their minds are swayed by hunger
Vacant stares and shouts like thunder
Dribbling slaver, breeding stench
Let all his victims get revenge
His eyes show no confusion
Within his calm he creeps alone
Silently before the storm
In the corner of his madness
You could face a smile
Unbroken by
Your sentence
