1. Bluebird

Newly winged and in love with the skies
I'm forced to crawl bound up with the ground
i can only pray to the sun that it ain't forever

You say "i'll protect you from the melting heat"
but I'm dying to fall if that makes me breath
i can only pray to the sun that it ain't forever

I can't paint my hands all my blood flows in vain
star-crossed and lost
Bluebird

I leave at the dusk to converse with the stars
The Spires of Night will welcome their child
i can only pray to the moon that it stays forever

And so we dance in the Wretched Halls
The Tarantella, the dance of the ghosts
i can only pray to the moon that it stays forever

I can't paint my hands all my blood flows in vain
In the margin of life northing's left for the sane
I can't paint my hands all my blood flows in vain
ill-fated forlorn
Bluebird

We run together with ghouls of Nephren-Ka
Our eyes glitter like some distant alien stars
Breeds of life should cling to their sun
Children of death remain in the marshes of the dark.

I will finish the tale before the chaos dawns
The tune seems spoiled and the rhymes gone wrong
I can only keep you charmed, it has never happened

The wolf roams free, Sleeping Beauty's awake
Alice's back from the plane of the fake
I can only keep you charmed, it has never happened

2. Prince Of The City's Lights

I have been zombified
Ain't got a soul inside
I dance in circles without purpose
And I am death in life
Am I supposed to last forever?
Nothing will break the spell this time
The curse upon me is my blessing
Blood serum should be applied

I am the prince of the city's night
And I keep selling shadows to those who claim their thoughts are bright
I am the prince of the city lights
Till the Heralds of Gehenna come

Look at my moon it shines
Your soul yearns to be mine
I'll let you treasure more dark pleasures
Drops of eternal life
Are we supposed to last forever?
Now that we share the same dead blood
The curse of mine will be your blessing
The serum has been applied

I am the prince of the city's night
And I keep selling shadows to those who claim their thoughts are bright
I am the prince of the city lights
Till the Heralds of Gehenna come

The beast in my eyes
I hold it hidden in this ruby dream
Unnatural anaesthetic
The crimson rivers within
The chronicles of Cain's kith and kin
Of Cain's kith and kin

I am the prince of the city's night
And I keep selling shadows to those who claim their thoughts are bright
I am the prince of the city lights
Till the Heralds of Gehenna come

3. Cat's Grin

Mad as I am surely You must be
After tea with the Dormouse one's wits dive into the deep
With the twisted irony of Tweedledum and Tweedledee
The great Jabberwock aproacheth thee

"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch! "

O, hated heathen! Hovering on the horizon of horrors
Hallooh! Hallay!Hallooh! Hallay!
Hail the heretic in hail

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

No one ever sees the inner world of me
Wonderland appears to be behind my grin

There's one more keepsake She will keep
While the Cheshire Cat is smiling Alice knows what He may need
Humpty Dumpty's attitude will never change indeed

4. The Bridge Of Ashes

I want to be a seer
A songster of the stars
Though the future lies uncertain
Seems readable at times
I'll follow the clearing plan

Don't deny what can't be denied
Accept the truth, it's nothing but you
Things are never black or white
?Tis always for you to decide

You had to burn the bridges
That you had left behind
The space was vast and endless
The fires danced with time
I still followed the clearing plan

You crossed the bridge of ashes
The point of no return
You washed your hands in sulphur
And they are clean like hell

The standing stones await
The aeons to awake
You learn from what I teach
The ashes form the bridge

5. In Your Blood

So many centuries of pilgrimage in the ghastly oceans
His were the hands that separated the day from the night
And from His domain first tribes roamed into darkness
The man of his brother's bane. The House was Enoch, The Name was Cain

In your blood

I remember the ashes of Alexandria and Caesar's agony
New Lands discovered, and madmen?s tyranny
Through red I whisper to my many children
Through red my bidding will be done

In yourblood
I make the call the blood must listen
In your blood
The night has just become

In our blood

Through red I whisper to my many children
Through red my bidding will be done

In your blood
I make the call the blood must listen
In your blood
The night has just become

6. Golden Lullaby

The autumn's fairy is missing
Now with the distant morning dewdrops of the first corroded sound
Around the well of wishes
Like sentries are the dusk fireflies, a swarm of charms

The spore meets the unliving
As the solar wanderer falters and falls before the moon
The hair of woods on fire
Soil murmurs golden lullabies, the full circle of all life!

Forever can't be better

The blindfolded eyes of hours
Each drop of sand deludes the mind, water's on our side
Dim solace in aging wine
Ghost in my cigarette, please dance for me, come and flirt with me

Communion time in amber
For every beehive chamber searching for what's the soul in me
The hair of woods on fire
Soil murmurs golden lullabies, the full circle of all life!

Forever can't be better

My golden lullaby

7. Ritual Fire Dance

8. Black Flowers

There you lie my sleeping beauty,
Between Suffocation Street and Infliction Boulevard.
Loving you is the best game of killing time
So why are you looking so blue?

I'm dying to kill you a hundred fucking times
Won't let you out till you're gravely mine

I'll cover your eyes with withered black flowers
Anything for my ghoulfriend
I'll cover your eyes with withered black flowers
Endless velvet future

6 feet under, it's love that's the sweetest bite
My dear tomb-test-dummy
Her flesh is such a sight!

I'm dying to kill you a hundred fuckin' times
Won't let you out till you're gravely mine

I'll cover your eyes with withered black flowers
Anything for my ghoulfriend
I'll cover your eyes with withered black flowers
Endless velvet future

So push the daisies up for me

9. A Million As One (As A Million)

Energy is one and exact
Though so many find it abstract
God is within you and me
coz you are God and God is me
heading for the sphere of light
Warmth of Dharma deep insight
We're the architects of The Seal
Love is The law, love under will

We're one as a million, and a million as one

Self-improvement hand in hand
Leaving Samsara to the end
We are those immortal drops
Brothers in the shaman's plot
The universe will pave your path
Where's the will there is the mind
Hence the one became them all
The million sought the trails of the one

Astral aura's one and exact
Though not many blossom intact
Goddess is in you and me
coz you're God and God is me
headed for the ball of light
Love of Dharma deep inside
Hence the one became them all
The million sought the trails of the one

We're one as a million, and a million as one

10. Geisha Out Of Dreams

Flawless image, treasured face
Artisan's masterwork's done
Mona Lisa's selfish smile
I wonder where goes the dance of her hands

Perhaps the orchid in her hair
has more than a story to tell
But there are cryptic seams on those lips
She's been carved on me, carved too deep

Mistress of my passive skin
Pain-craving demon within
Dual heart and second sight
Mutual blood to stay alive

I bred this bond so willingly
And now all that I need
is her revived garden revealed
a lotus for real

Name it forever the ghost in blue remains
With her vanity made flesh
Still is all life or life's what she'd steal
Even though it's unreal

Name it forever the ghost in blue remains
With her vanity made flesh
Still is all life or life's what she'd steal
Geisha born out of dreams

11. Sapphire Sun

You bore witness to the frozen statues
eyes of passion that lost their heat
is this gallery of ghost-tunes
the awakening of your dream

Here we've stayed, here we've lain forever undone
In the pale realm of the sapphire sun

And every doorstep and every face
proves to be a barrier much too hard to break

Here we've stayed, here we've lain forever undone
In the pale realm of the sapphire sun
here we've stayed, here we've lain forever undone
In the pale realm of the sapphire sun

I shall drift on till the bitter end

I need no shooting star, need no rainbow path
Not alive

And every word and every moment
lips and arms of someone else's lovers
And every breath keeps you dormant
In the crystal bedroom for no one to reach

12. Night In White Satin

оригинал: The Moody Blues

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent

Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young

Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion
