1. Violet Vortex

(Intro)

2. Ride

Lack-lustre vacuum magnetises the land
Scopeless material un ruthless demand
Concrete spectacle superficially grand
Divine animation buried in sand

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation
Crystal warrior of damnation

Nullified grafters manufactured from the womb
Out of the repro-clinic into household tomb
Drag the nothing tiring through coal-dark undeground
Drive the wheels of iron round and round

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation
Crystal warrior of damnation

Scouring eyes sear through that book of lies
And to the truth, well our search is agrified
Whilst the yawn drone of physical mechinery
March in robot mode to terminal destiny

Microscobic observance, forsaken innerland
Spiritual inertia, obsorbed in bland
Well our significance shan't sink in their charade
'cos through their drab pantomime I say we're gonna ride!

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation
Crystal warrior of damnation

3. Enter The Worms

Ardorned daggers, ruby hifted swords
Unfailing crucifiers, striking mortal cords
Huge violent serpents in volumes rolled
All holy poisons poured in cups of gold
Ooh these instruments so blessed and old
Here lay death's sceptre – truth untold
Without mercy or

Love, forgiveness – exile me
Blades of goodness set me free
Madness my destiny
Alone forever exile me

Sharp swords, bright lightnings set brave souls free
Past gods blind eyes through infinity
Of all these vessels transformed to clay
Rich ashes blown to dust – swept away!
Now take me steel to the gift of skies
Deliver me from weakness from flesh that rides
Without pity or

Love, forgiveness – exile me
Blades of goodness set me free
Madness my destiny
Alone forever exile me

Ooh to think how pleasent your touch would be
In that all my lovely limbs would fall away
And drop to nothing in their soft decay
Unto my frail heart, the worms shall find a door
Enter the weary pulp – into the core!
As all of my flesh lay soft on the floor
Released this soul from me, forevermore!
Into the loud tide screaming silent words
Out of this dreary world in screeching awe
Without earthly

Love, forgiveness – exile me
Blades of goodness set me free
Madness my destiny
Alone forever exile me

4. Midnight Mountain

Sliding down a mountain, as dusk passes to day
The antidote of elation, now lifeless masses wake
Jaws of suxiety open, the luring vampire of agifity
A fatal invitation, sight hasing from me

Oh midnight mountain, I require
Inner re-location, back to my pinnacles high

Drowning in empty faces, sinking in banal
I crave the isolation of eventide when perception climbs
I just need the injection, a dose to boost my flight
A sonic blast of moonlight, nucleus ignites

Oh midnight mountain, now I'm revived
Stimulus transcending back to pinnacles high

Screaming at doleful skies, absorbing all my sighs
Responding to my cries – downcast a thunder of reprise
Won't let the next sunrise, signal my landslide
From ecstatic highs, I'm on top of their demise

5. Fountain Of Innocence

Fountain of youth
Lifespring flows into a well of truths
Of cold and dim repose
I craved to be as high as the pillary clouds
To walk among the tall
Who used to look back down and frown

Now here I stand by the wasteland, where our dreams began
From these once golden fields our curiosity ran...

I chased the sugar claw through temptation's door
The bitterness I found... sweetness I taste no more
From the playground to the slayground
The sombre middleground absorbs the emptiness

Look back across the marble sea of discovery
A fountain of innocense flows in juvenescence

I'm resident in corners of sentiment
I face the wall – discovery terminal
But there's no more false truths I wish to discover
And I am psysically unable, to tread back down those corridors
Fountain of youth, oh how I bathed in your innocence
And now in cold response, I must face the bitter truth...

6. Grim Luxuria

Cold sin and fire, burning wrath and anger
This crippled splendour of lust so dire yeah!
Insane visions of beauty, groanings so empty
Wriggling in agony, the frail corpse of love that's me

Hair and eyes, limbs and faces
Bending hard in fierce embraces
Ooh this loveless rage, come give me pain
Arcane exotica, ooh grim luxuria

Twisted lust on fire, love the bastard liar
Sick grins of pleasure, wapred torsos in heaven
Bending tongues – saliva
Flickering lifeforms of grotesque

On the floor bones crackin, like evil dogs mauling
Grunting in this ecstacy – shaking screaming dawning me!

Pleading eyes, mangled faces
Torn apart, in growling places
Ooh this seething cage, white light in vain
Arcane exotica – grim luxuria

Twisted lust on fire, love – the bastard liar
Oh sweet sanctity – hell is pouring over me

7. Jaded Entity

Here, glibbering alone...
Oh the earth and heavens, they so tire me
Tomorrow's dreams encased in a velvet sanctuary
The crumbled throne of worldly gain
Is glory forgotten, and now just nothing remains

We've come too far, we are so close
Inside, one forever weeping

As the vain morning dawns, all life fades away
You can take me now, beyond the violent veil
And whatever flames the night in these deeds I've done
In fate's control, at last my time has come

We've come too far, we are so close
Inside, one forever weeping

Death is death, the little host that squirms
Smell the dark – the coffin's closed
And I so soft, ooh so soft
No movement and no breath
No ears, no nose – no eyes
Death is death, in life's sepulchre
No sight, no sound, no cry, and always...
Always... death is death – yeah!
(alive again) feeaaergh

Damp skin in greying sheets, decaying bed absorbing me
Bleached white ceiling above – dehydrating visions of love
Vitality slides back down the walls, saturating the velvet
floor
Numbness writhes in all I adore
Wasting here, can't see the door...

8. Ashes You Leave

Weep for autumn skies shrouded in misty air
Weep for thy solemn dearth, and for thy chill despair

Ashes you leave, as you ascend from me

9. Phantasmogoria

Rowntree's ad lib into LSD

10. Imprisoned In Flesh

Wishing that the sun would shine
Flesh wasting dreams inside
In this prison burning light
Which fades on the outside

I only want to believe
That there's a place better for me
A union where lost souls meet
Where I can share this flame with thee

Hide and reach beyond entropy
In all that you seek
Burn with me

12. A Funeral Request (Rebirth)

(Japan Bonus Track)

White rose perfume go with thee
on thy way unto thy shaded tomb
low music doth fall
lightly as autumn leaves
about thy solemn pall.
Faint incense rises.
O'you, you fell away from me my love,
like all earthly things vanish
into death cold mysteries.
Serpents marked with azure rings
cathedrals where rich shadows fall,
things strange curious solemn saviour.
You promised me laughter in autumn days,
now I can't awake from this lucid haze.
I can't awake to laugh with you I'm so weary.
Claws upon my flesh and statues of lost soul s
dominate this house.
Angels have no pity,
their wings have turned to stone.
Come travel naked lovers
beyond all dimensions of Heaven
and lie enchanted forever
in the lucid garden of dreams.
In all animate sources and creations
of belief we travel seas of illusions
that begin at our dreams.
Ethereal architects masters of all faith.
