1. Rainbow Ride
I'm heard for many miles around if you're near
My drowsy spell is like music to your ears,
Can you hear? come dance unto my paradise –
A surface laced with promised light
Cross the line, entwine our dreams
And join me in the middle of the stream
My violin, enchanting the trance you're in
Harmony, the claw that pulls you within
Ah, within! Now dance unto my paradise...
Sunken treasures, wealth is here with me
Ecstasy, and all is your's for free –
Come and see!
Fool's gold shimmer twice as bright
The river's deep but safe alright
You'll never know unless you try
Trust me says the spider to the fly
"Bow you're mine!"
Dance for me, dance with me eternally
Dance with me, dance for me for all eternity
...and beyond
2. Goatburn
Mystified and even glorified, I have come to purify belief
When all trust is given and when nothing's forgiven
I'll be the first one to breathe as the ship starts sinking
And I crave you all my dears! I said,
Enslave you all my dears, my daughters and my sons
Granting me my tower covering the sun
Hence my redemption, can't resist the temptation
Hey, I'm grinding flies between my teeth
Sulphur is reeking and it goes with the shrieking
Thought you'd smell any different as the flames are licking?
And I crave you all my dears! I'll degrade and blame,
Deprave and claim my daughters and my sons
Who will you be cursing as you scatter and run?
All around the devil's playground...
It even seems you're having fun?!
The method to madness is the trick of my trade
To divide and conquer is my skill
Ever so kindly since you worship so blindly
Hell, all is divine until the bomb stops ticking!
Then I crave you all my dears!
You behave like you're all my daughters and my sons
He can't save you all, my daughters and my sons
3. Good Stuff
Mary, you're coming on strong now
Don't lose that hold you've got on me
Sunshine – you're such a lover's delight now
Changing my night into day, yeah
You know you'll get the best of me
– Chucks, there goes the rest of me!
Ah, mary! you're number thirteen of hundreds,
Strange as it may seem...
Sharing, we're such a fine combination,
– A symbiosis free, I say:
I can tell you're good for me –
You've really made my third eye see, way!
I say yeeeeaaah! Woooaaarrrgh!!!
Are you merry? You're playing my song now,
The sweetest of melodies
Blaring, y'know, we couldn't go wrong now
We're walking down easy street, yeah
You know you mean the world to me
– I bow before her majesty
...Ride my butterfly!
4. ...And The 8th Seal Was Hers
Cold december skies, warmth has faded from your eyes
Poetry is dead 'cause you're not mine
I long for your embrace, togetherness in any way
As emptiness it sings me lullabies
She won't come back
Memories in my head, they blend into each tear I shed
Time will never heal these scars of mine
Dreams won't come to die, leave me just to wonder why
'Cause misery has found a place to stay
Love's treasury – it burns inside of me!
Shreds devotion, tears emotion away
5. Separate Graves
Bitter sweet come sunrise, cuts deep into my sunken eyes
Greeting me another day – sufficient life in spectre gray
Won't ever reach no surface, and light is always dim
I can't believe it matters 'cause I'd rather sink than swim
What if I look all memories of you and buried them in
Separate graves think we'd be all through?
6. Spiral Guru
Alone, forlorn
Forsaken by delight I drench the world in colours
To a frame of mind where man unkind aren't summoning their fiends
Apprehension? Need I mention, life is so much better when unreal
Cleansing, regain direction
Yeah, I'm stepping out of line – reality is mine!
Being a heathen in the garden of eden rules are all the same
Ain't the one who forgotten some apple was rotten –
Forbidden fruit is better any day!
Yeah, latter-day another day! I'd rather stay...
In a moving, soothing spiral
Euphoria, I'm coming 'round!
I've taken all tables and turned them around,
Senses dwell in sparkling splendour
Utopia – now open wide!
I dive in the maelstrom deep down inside
In desperate times a desperate measure –
It's water to wine and I'm riding the tide
Won't settle for a gentle spin – lotus eye sees everything!
Circles run forever, so it seems
Look at me when I point at you, my direction sees you through
Yeah, the way to go is vertigo – life is so much better when unreal
Come seize the day a different way – rotate my way!
In a moving, soothing spiral
7. Fifth Wheel
Justify existence pleads the soldier
I'm dressed to kill but I've got nowhere to go
So help me God, I need to pull a trigger –
Yeah, end it all in one triumphant blow!
And when my time has come below the sacred ground
Did'ya think that I'd be turning still?
Pretty little lambs, you're in confusion!
I'm free to roam 'cause after all your choice
Smiles won't reach my eyes 'cause I'm illusion
– I'm the other side that counted on your voice
And when your time has come six feet underground
Think you'll be turning still? you know, it has to be this way...
From the cradle to the grave now
There ain't no way that you'll be saved anyhow
I've been rolling over fools through generations
Feels useless like a rebel with no cause
'Cause I trust that you will solve the situation
– As death-wish motivation runs your chores
So tell me how it feels, your turn to spin the wheel
From the cradle to your grave now
Round and round and round and round and...
Then my time has come –
Full moon and the young.
8. Nimbus
Life it is good here in the valley!
I've built me a throne – and quite missionary!
I gave you the cross you needed to carry...
Bow down! Kiss ass in my presence, nimbus – here and today!
Shine on, time is the essence
Thin as a thread 'til the end of the line
Won't show you no tipperary – you're secondary
'Cause you're meek and weary giving in...
Beating the servants while singin' so merry
Yeah, waving my tail – y'know, I ain't no fairy at all
Bow down! kneel in my presence, nimbus – I'll glow you away!
I shine on, blinding the paesants –
Guide'm to tunnels at the end of all light,
Where we'll be eve to eye to eye to eye...
Brought all your hopes and glory straight to purgatory
Well, you know the story – let's begin...
Hey now, come forth all ye wicked!
Come now – suffer the children!
Shine on, shine for me!
And hold on tight to your benches!
Hold on tight, lads and wenches.
9. Troll Formula
...There's a well inside of me, a frozen fountain free
Rest is so sweet in the palm of a giant's hand
I've got a view over you, you're like ants, you understand?
I'm so glad that we could meet –
So I could crush you 'neath my feet now, darling
Well, are you ready for this?
Something wicked comes your way...
Because abracadabra – your breed is such easy prey!
I lick your open wounds with a poisoned tongue –
And you can bet your ass that I've already won...
My hocus pocus is always in focus
Death is unmasked, I am damned so I'll burden your strain
Raising a storm as I rise between your waves
I won't fall unto pray 'cause no miracles here will save...
Bleeding wounds will never heal
And the pain you face is real
When the vultures come to feed
...Flesh or Iesus
10. Altered Beast
I can see right through you, guess you must be wearing thin!?
You're making me despise you, and all you are within
Stolen wings might build your dreams,
But leaves your pride behind
Your broken crown will weight you down,
And I agree – it's better you than me
Truth is out to hurt you, so you choose to misconcieve
Love and light deserts you, y'know, you're dying to be believed
Friend or foe, say who's to know
Just what you're trying to be, my son
Are you a demon with a flower, or could you be an angel with a gun?
Don't come 'round with friendly eyes,
We know it ain't your game
What you think and what you say is really not the same
Crawl away in shame!
