Kinder und Sterne küssen und verlieren sich
Greifen leise meine Hand und führen mich
Die Traumgötter brachten mich in eine Landschaft
Schmetterlinge flatterten durch meine Seele
In der Mitternacht
The paradox of our minds
Too much to believe, too much to deny
You fool me again to quiet my pride
But I’m a human, I come with knives
I never promised you an open heart or charity
I never wanted to abuse your imagination
I come with knives
I come with knives
And agony
To love you
The monotony
And the rising tide
Is under my skin, is crawling inside
Adrenalin to rewire my mind
I’m only human, I come with knives
I never promised you an open heart or charity
I never wanted to abuse your imagination
I come with knives
I come with knives
And agony
I come with knives
I come with knives
To love you
With agony
Kinder und Sterne küssen und verlieren sich
Greifen leise meine Hand und führen mich
Die Traumgötter brachten mich in eine Landschaft
Schmetterlinge flatterten durch meine Seele
In der Mitternacht

Sorrow
04:42
|
|||
|
My Northern heart weighs like a stone
And the burning sadness has become my home
The tortured world wants me to hate
But there’s a world inside
Where my love can bury my rage
Every second I disappear
I feel my senses dying
In the mountain stillness I hear
Hollywood coyotes crying
Sorrow, you are my light
Everything my heart desires
Show me your beautiful anger
Sorrow, keeping me sane
You turn my nights into days
I love your beautiful anger
When I am tempted to give up
And the winter’s drowning me with memories and loss
I leave my hungry mind outside
‘cause there’s a beauty inside
And sorrow is fueling my fire
Every second I disappear
I feel my senses dying
In the mountain stillness I hear
Hollywood coyotes crying
Sorrow, you are my light
Everything my heart desires
Show me your beautiful anger
Sorrow, keeping me sane
You turn my nights into days
I love your beautiful anger
Every time that I feel
My empire beneath my feet
Crumbling – anger

We are all insane
Counting down every single living day
We are prisoners of fate
I smile at the way everybody accepts the pain
Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t feel
Just because I don’t feel doesn’t mean I don’t understand
We are one in the unified field
We are one in the unified field
We are not in the dark
Our animal anger is eating our human hearts
How come everything hurts when nothing lasts?
I smile at the way everybody lives in the past
Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t feel
Just because I don’t believe doesn’t mean I don’t understand
We are one in the unified field
We are one in the unified field
(Everybody loves
Everybody leaves
Everybody hurts
Everybody heals
Everybody needs)
We are all the same
Counting down every second every living day
We are prisoners of fate
I smile at the way everybody accepts the pain
I don’t care
I don’t believe
But I feel, I feel

The Adrenalin Room
03:02
|
|||
|
The virgin anger and the will to power
The secret fire of the human form
Burning water, vitriol
Mercury rising above us all
The dissolving and binding
Wearing the crown in the fold
My coarse heart swallows everything up
Like a black hole
In the adrenalin room
At the back of my head
There’s a locked up box
And people kissing everywhere

There was light before the rain began
And there was hope behind the suffering joke
Lies come, lies they go, even the sun is tired
Under the surfaces, there is a benevolent drone
Do you feel it?
So brutal when the words are on
The tip of your tongue
So strange when your tired eyes won’t
Shut your brain down
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear
Darling, it’s a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It’s a crime
Sometimes I can taste my death like a candy bar
So sweet and complete, as infinity takes me
-but before that-
I create to keep that dog at my bearable door
I’m a hologram in my egocentric universe, oh
You’re alive but you know that the wire
Under you is bending
And the truth is only telling you to be
Immune to everything
Hold back the melancholy
Hold back the fear
Darling, it’s a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the melancholy
It’s a crime
Hold back the fear
Hold back the darkness
Hold back the melancholy
It’s a crime

Under Atomic Skies
03:47
|
|||
|
You were lying naked in my arms
We were making memories
You were beating breath into my lungs
Like a nuclear looped-up drum
We burned our bridges
We loved under atomic skies
Rejoiced in the hopeless
We loved under atomic skies
We were looking for something to believe
We were looking for something to understand
Our twisted sense of loyalty
Was getting so out of hand
We burned our bridges
We loved under atomic skies
Rejoiced in the hopeless
We loved under atomic skies

Screams
03:45
|
|||
|
Every night she closed her eyes
Every night she turned afraid
When the sex dripped on her lips mixed with the teardrops
Daddy’s little girl became erased
When she crawled across the sheets onto the A-list
The attention took her tension away
In the company of wolves there is no sympathy
We feed on the remains
And I hear screams
I hear screams, like a victim for the first time
I hear screams, I hear screams
In the City of Angels she lay
Skin soaked in the chlorine and the cocaine
No love will sail her over this dirty ocean
If she returns, she returns to pain
For her the safest place is here
Between the porno and the comfort of her deepest fears
In the strobe light we embrace her like prey
She just rises into the aether
[She’s dancing in the darkroom
Unfolding her feathers
Unlocking her secrets
She’s dancing in the darkroom]
And I hear screams
I hear screams, like a victim for the first time
I hear screams, I hear screams
Wake up, daddy’s little girl

I let you go
I saw the signs
You were so cold
I was unkind
You turned my lies
Into your lust
Now I just can’t disguise
My failure to forget this stuff, because
Our little world is only big enough for us
Come home
I’ve lost the will to go on alone
Come home
I don’t know what you want but I know that you need to be loved
The desert skies
Will cry for us
In the land of forgotten smiles
Died our forgotten trust
The old desires
Burned in the sunshine and
All the years of our tender highs
Blown away by our tender disunion
And I will always be here to hear you in the place where you belong
Come home
I’ve lost the will to go on alone
Come home
I don’t know what you want but I know that you need to be loved

Animal Impulses
03:54
|
|||
|
Shine razor eyes before the walls come down
Wilder than lions, louder than sound
Oh the birds and the bees are getting older now
There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul
Shine razor eyes in delight
Shine razor eyes before you die
Shine razor eyes in this light
There’s a cold breeze blowing over my soul
I’m tired of this human duet
No civilising hides
Our animal impulses

Walk With The Noise
04:00
|
|||
|
We were born into this fools world
And we will die before we play the game
So many blows ripping apart our gentle souls
And shudder ‘cause I know what I don’t want to know
And it’s killing me killing me laughter
Wanna wash those smiles away
Oh it’s killing me killing me slowly
Wanna wash those smiles away
I walk with the noise
It’s reaching out to me
I talk to the world
Face my devils
When I’m losing my touch – the terror, the terror
I walk with the noise
Face my devils
Propaganda is in our flesh and blood
And we rejoice in the control of others
Euphoria – poison in the minds of the future
And it is turning our kids to murder, to murder

Land Of Broken Promises
04:45
|
|||
|
Turn the bad blood into good
Bring the laughter, bring the love
Drink again ’cause everyone forgets
In the land of broken promises
I walked the streets of Vegas
I walked ’til I was blind
Something was shining on me – promises
“Anything you want, anything you desire”
I soon became the servant
A blissful blank canvas mind
Something was shining on me – promises
“Anything you want, anything you desire”
Turn the bad blood into good
Bring the laughter, bring the love
Drink again ’cause everyone forgets
In the land of broken promises
The gambling hungry eyes
The cocktail hours and neon lights
Something was shining on me – dollar signs
“Anything you want, anything you desire”
You know I wanna disappear but I just can’t hide
The American Dream is in every die
Something is telling me I’m out of time
“Anything you want, anything you desire”

Trials
03:52
|
|||
|
Every morning I feel it
Kicking inside me
Telling me I’m no good at all
Though I hear the voices
I recognise them
They are the demons in us all
I wake up hot, I wake up cold
But my trials are my friends
Every little flaw digging in my soul
But my trials are my friends
I can only win in the end
My trials are my friends

Very FLA-centric though Cevin’s contributions do shine brightly as well. A worthy successor to the much more minimal Tenebrae Vision, and one of the best albums in the genre so far this year.

Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again.
