Unheimlich 06:44
I am not well Light fly, night cascade, behind my eyes Would that I would wake, from god's unholy veil Close my eyes, a face is staring back Become known, a man of harder flesh and bone Cast from my mind's heaven, conceived upon the throne The blood of my blood, if not for features cut from stone I walk shadow space, pulled against my will My will breaks anew, and I in two Eyes of coal, your hardened skin Hands of stone, oily mouth of sin No soul for god above The killing hand is spilling blood The blood of my blood I sow the blackest seeds and reap the putrid fruit Draw the veil Sink below Dream of naught but death For days Feel his cloak writhing Crawling for his lust I sow the blackest seeds and reap the putrid fruit Crude life Long forgotten Pain swept up in bitter words  Wrenched in cursed spit My right hand twists the dagger My left cradling their heads In death Would that I never wake

The sun - the weight of weights Once lust was fueled in solar rays Now love hangs on my back The weight of tens and tens of suns He scrapes his char upon the leaves Consuming colors from my memories Dead embers fall away A twisted spine upon their graves Keep love for noble kings Their seasons still forever King Love, your den of men would kill their heads for hearts The running winds are eager thieves Away the warmth where once was love No hope for souls at their king's hand Boreas shows a colder cold You, men  My word is forever As fire burns  As wind blows cold  As water flows This will not change Burned souls suffer Frozen souls ache Drowned souls choke Dead men die

No Vacancy 05:25
Lord Defeat is taunting me Red lights burn Streaks in the sky Lacerate my eyes Neon-bleeding concrete Fractured lattice pressed flat, ragged Monolithic, black, oppressive, Piling on the weight of night Streets of disease Grinning and green Plastic deceit No vacancy - foreign neon wilderness - shuttered hope

Black Water - carry me to everlasting rest Pull your trenches Roll your peaks Lift and turn Sway and sweep Hold my earthly call for life within your breast Draw down the currents of timeless sleep Take not my suffering Take not my sorrow and grief Accept not my mortal greed Silence, strangle fill my lungs Lay me down Close my eyes Free me to the deep Sink to rise no more

What child is this? Her throat is choked with dust Her shining eyes In clouds of ash now lie The blacks divine A pall of blue The curls embrace Her pallid hue The deepest dream Can't lift her eyes awake Their hallowed words Ring hollowly away "Light come down now, save her from the waves!" A painted mark Of rhyme untrue For eyes so black to be so bruised  An open main Unbroken vein Man - hear me My voice - as old as the wind My robes so crude and lowly Their folds hold the bones of your dead So bite your tongues, you bitter ones Lest you bear the weight of the grave As you lie rotting, dust returning to soil, you wretch Your spoken name will touch the tongues of none This world will continue to spin, spin ever longer, life after life, grave after grave
