1. Swallow

for this bleeding sunwalk
we laid down besides
and a screaming sky walks
and a trigger by my side...

drowing karmic networks
sad machines inside
see the radio sky talks
under a searing heaven...

swallow
swallow
swallow
swallow the bitter taste you once craved deep
your christ, your veil, your sun
in bitter blood you lay your sleep
and keep the sun in turn

for my god, my cancer
my painful god alone
dream of plastic serpents
swallowed father take me home

close my stranded eyes now
kiss my sun goodbye
light this jesus lantern
crack my searing heaven...

swallow....

so leave in morpheous dreams
lay down crestfallen eyes
no sad farewell in plastic flowers
take this breath away from harm
as once a child in kaleidoscope mind

swallow...

2. Undying

Lily was sixteen when it started to hurt
in and out of reach in a silent alert
Lily was sixteen when the sun in her heart stopped to shine

mirror-balls and dreams hide the tears in her eyes
starlet of the scene and narcotic inside
Lily was sixteen when her heart got afraid of the night

walk undying – in the rain
walk undying – over again
all your sorrow is what I will take: undying

Monday was the day when she left with a smile
took the urban train for her terminal ride
Monday was the day when the city swallowed her child

trying to believe and to never arrive
flowers on the track mark the end of her strife
Monday was the day when sweet Lily followed the night

walk undying – in the rain
walk undying – over again
all your sorrow is what I will take.... undying

3. Portsall (Departure Song)

we laid on the back on a latesummernight
when we ran out of words we could say
like two stranded stars on a deepfrozen sky
so gone but afraid not to say

we counted the stars any latesummernight
and we watched their departure all day
"tomorrow we'll join 'em" we dreamt many times
but tomorrow was so far away

and the moon, and the stars,
and the summernight sky
that dirty old barn, and the grey in our eyes
the harbour, the sea, and the rivers of plight

and still we're so far away...

and still we lay on the back
another latesummernight
so gone but afraid not to stay

4. Lovesong For A Dead Child

Deep down the line
sleep save my child
trains leave and come
sad dreams ain't long {they said}

And they dream tonight
I always wanted the war
and they sleep tonight
dying in yearning for more

Deep down the spine
sleep save my child
loves leave and come
all is said and done

And they dream tonight
I always wanted the war
and they sleep tonight
dying in yearning for more

And they dream tonight
once they all wanted the war
now we sleep tonight
worn out and dreaming no more

5. The Marching Sane

the autumn in your eyes
the salty dark within your veins
we walk the streets at night
a searing spark inside our cage

your light it burns so painful
turn around and burn me painful

no light can release my pain
not a young god
I spit in the eyes of the marching sane
and in the young ones
and the world will turn in vein

the autumn in your smile
don't dare to walk another way
and when there's no behind... don't look back!
we praise the dawning day

your light it burns so painful
turn around and burn me painful

no light can release my pain...

no light can release my pain
not a young god
a tiptoeing knife in the back they reign
all the young ones

no light can release my pain...

6. Merlin

Merlin, the sea, lunar delight
Merlin, my dear uranium bride
Merlin, my birth, my solar grenade
Merlin, so real, is what I elate
come and get me...

and we dive away now...
utopian grey now!

Merlin, my fear, my cosmic perfume
Merlin, the seed, the snake I consume
Merlin, my sin, my Lilith in flames
take me away on luminous trains
come and get me...

and we dive away now...
utopian grey now!

Merlin try to break me, take me, hate me
Merlin try to haunt me, be my sun

and we dive away now...
utopian grey now!

7. Pitch Black Water

cry, wake the sleeping lie
pray I'm always there for you
beware of you

die, agony inside
pray the rain will fall on you
it's all for you

will I punish your heaven?
will I be there to go with you?
will I bury the raven?
and will I stand to watch you burn?

say will we dive in the water?
say will I die in your water?
say will I cry for this moment to live?
say will I cry for the water?

cry, swear to walk in line
pay the ones who steal your heart
in dreams apart

die, melodies all mine
prey the dawn will be your guard
so free to start

will I punish your heaven?
will I be there to go with you?
will I bury the raven?
and will I stand to watch you burn?

say will we dive in the water?
say will I die in your water?
say will I cry for this moment to live?
say will I cry for the water?

8. Dead Skin Mask

оригинал: Slayer

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Provocative images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

9. The Weeping Song

оригинал: Nick Cave

Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are weeping too.
Father, why are all the women weeping?
They all are weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back at them.

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep.
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long.

Father why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son.
O, are they merely crying father?
Yes, true weeping is yet to come.

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the little children sleep.
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long.

O father tell me are you weeping?
Your face seems wet to touch.
O then I'm so sorry father
I never thought I hurt you so much.

This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While we rock ourselves to sleep.
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
No. I won't be weeping long
