The Hawk looks into my eyes A spirit thinly disguised And now I touch His wings And I am caught in between The Hawk looks into my heart His prongs now tear it apart He eats my flesh and smiles I touch his eyes and die Two flaming worlds With my words Of deep worship   And now I’m lost in my wonder And now I’m lost And now I’m lost in my wonder And now I’m lost   Two flaming worlds With my words Of deep worship And now I’m lost in my wonder And now I’m lost   Amen   The Hawk looks into my heart His prongs now tear it apart He eats my flesh and smiles I touch his eyes and die Two flaming worlds With my words Of deep worship   And now I’m lost in my wonder And now I’m lost And now I’m lost in my wonder And now I’m lost

Shine 03:25
Shine, shine, shine in the dark like darkness shines. Shine, shine, shine in the light like only darkness shines. Shine, shine, move in the dark, forked tongue. Shine, shine, I'm waiting for her in this hour of rhyme. And she moves, takes my hand tonight. Until dawn fills my dreams tonight. She was crying. She was lying. She was flying. My demon lover licking my lips in the night until dawn with her dark forked tongue. Shine, shine, shining alone in her body of lies. Shine, shine, shining above my nightmares of desire. Shine, shine, whispering words of sin and silence of life. Shine, shine, move in her dark forked tongue. And she moves, takes my hand tonight. Until dawn fills my dreams tonight. She was crying. She was lying. She was flying. My demon lover licking my lips in the night until dawn with her dark forked tongue.

Lenny B 04:25
Lenny had a bag of dirty jokes Lenny had a bag of dirty hopes   All cry for Lenny With a needle in his vein Poor little Lenny Nothing lost and nothing gained   Lenny had a wife with dirty hope Lenny had a taste for dirty dopes   Never trust a man who tells dirty jokes Never trust a man with cheaper dopes   All cry for Lenny With a needle in his vein Poor little Lenny Nothing lost and nothing gained   Keeping it inside never really works Keeping it inside is a trapping hole   Lenny had a bag of dirty jokes Lenny had a bag of dirty hopes   All cry for Lenny With a needle in his vein Poor little Lenny Nothing lost and nothing gained   How to talk dirty and influence people.

It wasn’t betrayal They came with arms They came to take him We were so far It wasn’t betrayal   We didn’t know what to do No, we didn’t know what to do   So we all laid down Until it was over   Was it our fault Or just a mistake We were alone We were at the stake Was it our fault   We didn’t know what to do No, we didn’t know what to do   So we all laid down Until it was over

Ritual 04:54
With Sword and Cup I stand The universe at my command Wand of Double Power in my hand I crushed a world - nothing remains And carved in stone I stand Looking at my empty hand I crushed a world – nothing remains Double Power in my hands   Among shadows I stand Dead dust at my command I tried to master time An error most sublime Among the ruins I stand An empty Cup in my hand I tried to master rage A lover to embrace   Spirits come when called Not eager to do your bid Spirits come when called Not eager to do your bid   Spirits come when called   Spirits come when called Not eager to do your bid Spirits come when called Not eager to do your bid   You can command them Do not revile them No do not mock them Curse them by the Names of God

The slaves shall serve, you say And I have to agree The pain of self – betrayal is here And it seem to stay You see, it’s always true You can’t deceive yourself Your eyes are not pale – blue In this sorrow   And I’m feeling dead inside And now I’m feelinf so confused And now I stumble and I fall It feels like deep down in a hole.
7.
Abandoned 02:55
As I crawl I see madness takes its toll Dance a ball All I want is rock ’n’ roll Time to fight That’s not right for one night Feel this light It is not out of sight   Because I am and always will be abandoned Like a picture on my wall   As you see in my heart I just knew this from the start Take me home take me home Let no stone be unturned   Because I am and always will be abandoned Like a picture on my wall   Like a picture on my wall

This cry 03:40
Crying, we cry Flying, we fly Hell, and we smile Heaven, we fly Anger, we cry Sadden, we die Hell, and we smile Heaven, we fly And the shadows of life And the windows of night Faking me to go Limits of time And the howlings of fright And the phrases of fight Couldn't take me to the end To the end of this cry Hurt and defied Darkened and bright Hell, and we smile Heaven, we fly Shameless and proud Shouting a loud Hell, and we smile Heaven, we fly And the shadows of life And the windows of night Taking me to go Limits of time And the howlings of fright And the phrases of fires Couldn't take me to the end To the end , To the end And the shadows of life And the windows of night Faking me to go Limits of time And the howlings of fright And the phrases of fires Couldn't take me to the end To the end of this strife

Suddenly 04:09
Suddenly I awoke from a deep sleep And I saw my eyes Running through time And breaking the ties   Suddenly I awoke from a deep sleep The sound of my tears Flowing through space And breaking the ties   Suddenly I awoke from a deep trance Then I saw your eyes Burning like embers In the night sky   And Cross of Blood – Rose of God Above Red snakes and crocodiles – into my eyes Below Star of silver Inside my head In fire, branded in fire   In my skin On my head   Suddenly I awoke from a deep trance And I saw your nails Cutting my skin Like snakes bathing in blood   And Cross of Blood – Rose of God Above Red snakes and crocodiles – into my eyes Below Star of silver Inside my head In fire, branded in fire   In my skin On my head

Grinding axes in the night Taking shadows for a ride Telling lies and faking smiles To the sound of our denying   And you say we've lost our touch And the night shall cover all No, I never lost my heart In the fury of the rain No, you never lost control In my symphony of pain   And you told your first lie As you looked in my blue eyes And now you tell your last lie As you look in my red eyes   Sun above, bed undone In your hand another gun Getting high above the ground No more time and no more sound   Smell of sex in the night And the night shall cover all No, I never lost my heart In the fury of the rain No, you never lost control In my symphony of pain   And you told your first lie As you looked in my blue eyes And now you tell your last lie As you look in my red eyes   My Red Eyes, My Blue Eyes My Red Eyes, My Blue Eyes My Red Eyes, My Blue Eyes My Red Eyes, My Blue Eyes

Yet to Come 04:28
Falling through an open window And the rain upon my face keeps falling like tears And you came into my heart Through the memories of the past and those yet to come   And we're walking in the park And you tell me about your dreams And you tell me about your fears All those fears from the past and those yet to come   Always taking the wrong side Leaving what you can't deny   Watching through a closed window And the rain upon my face keeps falling like tears And you've left my heart now With the shadows of the past and those yet to come   Always taking the wrong side Leaving what you can't deny   Those from the past – those yet to come
12.
Shadows of evening Surround me With the purity of the flesh I knew deeply Things like that would happen Again and again   Kiss me sweetly This is all I need you to show Kiss me deadly It’s all I need to know - because   When all is said and done I will never forget The pleasures and delight – of your body
13.
And so when I thought my destiny alone – to be You came with your beauty and kisses and life – to see I was wandering naked in wilderness cruel You came with your smile and your hands and your soul To save me Princess of beauty ad fighting and love We had our Queen and the miracle won Now that it’s staying I dont feel confused Now that your grace once more has returned To save me – You came back from the mists of time

Stupid men 03:10
Faking death is not hard If you know where to go I think I’ll take my chances Here   But the stupid men keep on lying Say they’re waiting for my 2nd Coming   I feel so peaceful Among these green hills I wish I had come here Long ago   But the stupid men keep on lying Say they’re waiting for my 2nd Coming   What have I done to them? What have I done with them? What have I done to them? What have I done for them?
15.
No return 02:26
I went down the alleys of death And looked for myself In rooms of blood Trying to reach the absolute above   Playing dead is not my game It’s just a shame I have to blame I’d leave it all Still I’m afraid to open that last door   No one to blame - now No return For me for me for me and for my dreams   Raise the dead – it’s not so hard If you just know what you must do A walking ghost impressing All those lucky enough to see – and worship me   No one to blame - now No return For me for me for me and for my dreams
16.
Arcadia 03:56
Kiss the Light through the Night ‘til we fly outside Land of joy land of peace land of angels In this land no one stands between us and Him And your kiss on my lips now I’ll never miss We are free Happy and free In Arcadia And we’ll never turn our heads back, never

Strange as it might seem I feel no regret And the things I have done Now seem so faraway in time They don’t even seem mine A worker of wonders Without his audience A worker of wonders Without his audience The stage now is empty And my legend will feed on the   Tears you’ll cry At the feet of a cross   Take me and wake me Kiss me and bless me With the dew from your rose Falling from the sky I can see no reason why I tried to explain but they just don’t want to be like me So impressed by the things that I’ve done In the land of the Holy of Holies So impressed by the things that I’ve done In the land of the Holy of Holies The land of the Holy of Holies The stage now is empty And my legend will feed on the   Tears you’ll cry At the feet of a cross   In the land of the Holy of Holies The land of the Holy of Holies
18.
I know I’ve lost control I should’t stay those things I’m waiting in the wind Trying to catch your eye So insecure at night Accepting your revenge I’m waiting in the wind Letting loose my mind Kiss me with your nails Don’t make me lose this bliss I’m waiting in the wind For you to take me...   Take me to the hills of dreams.
