pests of flesh
shadows dancing on the wall -
flickering reflections
of what I choose to see

this uncertainty
about existence of things -
am I what I suppose to be
or a prisoner - of my reality?
 
nightly standing at the sea...
slight breeze whispering to me...
wait and listen carefully...
only moment to feel free.

full moon shining down on me...
diving deep into the sea...
escape from all finally...
a moment for eternity.

[deep mix:]
the icy water clears my mind
leave everybody else behind
a monody like siren's sound
that draws me deeper to the ground

 
lying awake, a sultry summer night
an unsureness deeply tormenting me
about what was right and what was not.

sleepless roaming through the rain
loosing myself in oppressing thoughts
I will never get away from.

is life determined?
or can we change our fates?
so what would be different?
what would not be the same?
asking myself about the scale
of trivial decisions I once made.
every single way we choose to go
excludes a million others.

chances that I did not seize
gates I shut without noticing
what might have become of us?
how would our future be?
fatalities I could not feel
were leading me to nothingness
would I recognize myself today?
would I still be the one I was?

you will always follow
turning my unsureness to pain
wash away my sorrow
like watercolours through the rain
can you hear me calling?
after all what will remain?
everything is falling
relentless as the summer rain.

seasons are about to change
turning from summer to fall
yesterday seems so long gone
with tomorrow yet to come
eyes are closed - I see you there
standing and smiling upon me
seconds when it all makes sense
can last for eternity.

there are wounds that do not heal
this pain will never pass
remembering the words you said
the smile you sent to me
now I'd give everything to let you know
how much I would miss you
and as silence shakes my world
the angels cry in heaven.

you will always follow
turning my unsureness to pain
wash away my sorrow
like make-up through the rain
can you hear me calling?
after all what will remain?
everything is falling
as the inexorable summer rain.

chances that I did not seize
gates I shut without noticing -
and as silence shakes my world
the angels cry in heaven...
 
they hide in the shadows, so we can't see
what they are purscueing in obscurity
deceptive forces - we can´t conceive
got no recognition - a nation deceived


I see clearly now
I will hunt you down
I will break the chains
A shattered image will be all what remains


distracted, affected, they control us all
long disconnected we´re about to fall
as strangers in the world, that seems to be true
we step through the darkness - don´t have a clou

tear down the facades - reach for the source
reveal the hidden - cut off evil's course
 
buildings melt together
the shadows growing further

electricity lights
the dark in sleepless nights

feel the city´s pulse
binding us casually

penetrating the earth
merging us to this world


bodys melt togehter
the air is tension's bearer

electricity lights
the floor of stunning nights

feel the bassdrum´s beat
rumbling between the feet

penetrating the flesh
caught in arousal's mesh
 
we feel, we love, we hate, we fear,
our hearts beat in the same way
we breath, we eat, we drink, we sleep,
red blood runs through our veins
we live, we learn, we fade, we die,
one starry sky above us
we mourn, we trust, we miss, we care,
one moral law within us

we stand together
we´re legion
fight forever
against inequality
 
long time ago
a different place
the light vanished
in blacks embrace

disturbance in balance
prepare for the last dance
get lost in deepest black
no hope to ever get back
consuming step by step
one giant dark deathtrap
w:hole system in alert
process unable to convert

never seen a greater tragedy
the most beautiful death in history
but the shout for help transmitted
lifetimes too late

long time ago
in outer space
a star swallowed
without a trace

x-ray waves sent it all
a dying sun's last call
but Rosat and Chandra fail
collecting informations in detail
knowledge is imperfect
'bout the extent of the effect
was there a planet like our earth
maybe even populated by yourself

never seen a greater tragedy
the most beautiful death in history
but the shout for help transmitted
lifetimes too late
received the message 'bout your destiny
the darkest grave for eternity
but your shout for help transmitted
lifetimes too late
 
they've been through the desert
nothings worse - have no names
released from the caverns
hunting men, playing games
immoral freaked science
breathing life into pests
tiny cruel little blighters
with explosives in their chests

cybernetic symbiosis -
technology and flesh
small targets on high speed
bony tails and claws clash
a deadly suicide squad
with implants organiques
addicted to drugs -
mutagen-biomechanic

Pests of Flesh heralds of horror
Pests of Flesh nowhere to hide
Pests of Flesh bearers of terror
Pests of Flesh they kill on sight

dark filthy laboratories
in the underground
are breeding in shadows
cloned lifeforms unbound
visions of dethroning
the pride of creation
they play God and reach for
a final mutation

Pests of Flesh heralds of horror
Pests of Flesh nowhere to hide
Pests of Flesh bearers of terror
Pests of Flesh they kill on sight

the gates of Danakil
are protected by fear
by killing machines
that let no Griffin near
on a self destroying course
they creep through the sand
but the true nightmare is yet to come
when the pests reach their end
