  • Black Dwarf



    Serpent rising on the horizon, and right here in my abode
    Full sensation, a manifestation, I'm petrified I cannot go
    Black and white day glow, cold creeping fright show a star of infinite mass
    Foul corroding and head exploding, existence reduced in a flash

    Diamond of a million flies
    Illusion of hope
    Black lizard in disguise
    Hate fiend on dope

    Dwarf... The Black Dwarf

    Slow death descending, pain never-ending, Astaroth won't go away
    So radiating now always hating, this liar commands you to stay
    Depressions and crisis, hopeless advices, suicide, acid rain
    Controlling the masses, misguiding our asses, bringing me stain on stain

    Freak show from outer hell
    Psychos create
    Heroes or villains low
    The choices you make

    Dwarf... The Black Dwarf

    Have you seen the poison queen, sitting on your shoulder?
    Don't you know what she says, can you not control her?
    Read the hex like you read the stories, god is dead and you have no worries
    Forget ambition, fuck the vision, kill the lights and go to sleep
    The stalker is stalking and talking and talking, colossal power and wit
    Pathetic, unethical and yes -- unaesthetic, oh boy, you're so full of shit

    You're playing me tricks, six hundred sixty-six, the devil dictating the news
    I can't keep resisting, black dwarf's insisting, I'm so afraid of you!!

    Diamond of a million flies
    Illusion of hope
    Black lizard in disguise
    Hate fiend on dope

    Freak show from outer hell
    Psychos create
    Heroes or villains low
    The choices you make

    Dwarf... The Black Dwarf

    From the filth of the crucifix, to the stench of headlines
    The dwarf is there, his ugly face is blocking the sunshine
    No taboos and no distinctions, fantasy creating fiction
    And no one knows what to believe, so kill the lights and go to sleep

    Seven Silver Keys



    You're hiding in your hall, alone with your hunger
    Can't break through the wall, of the prison within
    No reason to be proud, don't go so near it
    You bow your head in shame, afraid you will fear it

    Open up your dreams
    Seven silver keys
    To open up your dreams
    You need seven silver keys

    A war against yourself, you win or you lose here
    Something new to fear or nothing to do
    Paradise hotel, bombs in your cellar
    Mr clean'n'safe, your guvenor of hell

    Open up your dreams
    Seven silver keys
    To open up your dreams
    You need seven silver keys

    The vultures of the mind, the vampire guerilla
    Invite the underground, give in to your self
    Let loose the hounds of Hades, that means you can kill her
    Unlock the secret wells, your life can begin

    Assassin Of The Light



    Mask of shadow's sole, liebst the night he owns
    The grace of the beast, the solace of the sleet
    A sea of colder rain, gives him life again
    To hunt mortality, precious pearls of grief

    Murder draped in dusk, the thief's not one of us
    Came here with the shrouds, sweet talks, charms and bows
    Feeds on your sorrow, drawn to the horror

    Welcome... Assassin of light
    How did you know, I didn't know
    Save me, prince of the night
    You kill and go, you steal the show
    Blackout
    Lights out

    Out of blue thin air
    He is in my lair
    Say that I'm the one
    Provides me with a gun
    Soft like the willow
    Leaves no trace
    Hands me a pillow
    Over my face

    I'm excited so, the secret guest just showed
    Felt that I was sad, the little wish I had
    He stood behind the door, the hands of evermore
    Lord of the weeping shadow, helped me see green meadows

    Copernicus



    Our names are written on the stars on heaven's tree
    Yes, nine by nine they die, just like you and me
    These peerless eyes look down, giving us our choices
    Each one calls out, a universe of voices

    These are the ancient fathers, the laws that bind us all
    White jewels of mystery, mirrors for our souls
    They spoke of life and death, love and history
    Today the stars are for fools and vanity

    And there's Orion and there's the Zodiac
    If you look close, they're needles in a stack
    And you saw, in your telescope on earth
    Copernicus, the order of the worlds

    Evening caress
    Always yearning
    I must confess
    The stars aren't burning

    Copernicus

    The sky is full of shining crosses for our sins
    Each one a monument for what ends and what begins
    Small emerald satellites, orbiting so fast
    Will they be gone tomorrow, just like painted glass?

    If I had wishes, I would shout to you and scream
    But now I realize, you're like young dying streams
    I'm in the real world, with people, crises and scars
    Copernicus, I don't care about your stars

    Evening caress
    Always yearning
    I must confess
    The stars aren't burning


    The Man Who Fell From The Sky



    (Instrumental)

    Witches



    Someone stole the starlight from the backside of your hand
    Weak without the magic you lay passed out in the sand
    With controls set for night flights when witches ruled the world
    In a twinkling moment you see cockroaches and crows

    Go behind the great clouds if you want to stay the same
    In nothing land you'll perish when they whisper aloud your name
    A window full of trauma stares you in the face
    You know it's time to scream now and leave this fucking place

    So drunk and misled, face down in the mindless gutter
    You puked and you bled, the lifeblood of the holy mother
    Lame and astray, bloated in the crimson river
    Needless to say, we are here to burn and wither

    Come with me, walk with me
    The voice of doom and new adventures
    Love with me, love with you
    The endless trip is what you're after
    Blinding light, burning light
    From excess to bitter laughter
    Happiness, loneliness
    Kneel before the disaster master

    The night is almost over and still there you are
    Half dead, numb and shipwrecked like a shooting star
    Surrounded by black witches, you don't know what to do
    Weak without the magic, the madness is killing you

    Born In A Tank



    They buried me here in the winter
    To an iron box I checked in
    I've never heard birds or seen daylight
    And nothing will ever come in
    I'm happy to lie here in darkness
    Naked safe, undisturbed
    Floating blind in water
    In my little world of dirt

    I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember
    Buried alive, like a dog, late December

    I think there was a sound from a battle
    And once I heard somebody scream
    Today a knock on the door
    It was just another bad dream
    They want to keep me secure here
    From a world in chaos I'm safe
    I'm better off down in my small crate
    Protected by maggots and rats

    I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember
    Buried alive, like a dog, late December
    I live underground, born in a tank, in the midst of nowhere
    Buried alive, like a dog, I was dumped and left there

    Spellbreaker



    Walking 'round and 'round in circles
    Locked inside himself
    The funny farm where he can't hurt us
    Or what we all believe
    Mute and deaf with no obsessions
    A broken watch he got
    He's the one that got no questions
    Not a word to breathe

    And there you see that he flies
    Across the room like a swan
    The colours sparkle and change
    Stars are born 'round a flashing sun

    Then it all just stopped, the temperature it dropped
    It was so quiet I couldn't hear the sound of grief no more
    We walked into the room, the small and padded room
    I looked down on/at the man that lay/laid crying on the floor

    The Mother of Life is a Whore

    Always drooling walking backwards
    Never dries his tears
    Come and see the man of miracles
    But please don't come so near
    Writing wierd stuf slow and patient
    I think it's something deep
    Then he tries some levitation
    Before he disappears

    A rainy day you too might meet him
    Give him mercy please
    It won't be long until we'll need him
    And all that's beautiful
    If he speaks the world will tremble
    A dream of love we'll see
    He's our all the cosmic centre
    We are spinning 'round

    The Day And The Night



    I woke up with a scream in my throat
    Something evil I saw then I choked
    Never thought I would dream of LaVey
    And never see the light of day

    Then the dawn reeked of swine like a slut
    I'm in bed as the light goes so dim
    And the globe of ascent turned to sut
    A new night came rolling in

    When you come I greet you
    We are the same
    And we make love
    In the dark

    You can hide, I see you
    The night's alive, I know
    To survive, I need you
    And you need me

    You're cruel and corrupt
    Please make it stop
    I should be fast asleep but I'm still up
    Nowhere to run
    I know it has begun
    I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow's sun

    I ride the mare
    To hell and back
    In this madness
    I sweat and burn

    Every night I'm sleepless
    Every hour a spell
    Every minute a lost life
    A year in hell

    Yes, the day is the czar of the night
    And the moon is the sun's other side
    So the night is the scar of the day
    And the shit won't go away

    Sometimes long and wonderful
    Sometimes cool and full of soul
    Sometimes crude and grim and foul
    The day is warm, the night is cold so cold

    Lost in the dark
    I'm lost in the dark
