I doubt, wallowing in despair
Revolving in circles like halos for demons
I bleed, wicked and shadow bound
Corrupted, I bathe in these faithless waters
The cracks in the pallid bust of Pallas
Which I’ve locked upon my closet
Beckon me for the blessed freedom
That by fear I choose to deny
A craven, in sovereign cowardice
Hiding in fear of enlightenment
Confused, accusing a world
As blasphemous as me
And I, the tasteless jester
The paladin of defeat
The king of all things won and lost
Emperor of self-deceit
In every altar a fool
In every pulpit a liar
In all of us, an evil lies
As we lunge blindly towards the pyre
With a pair of crows
To keep me company
As my heart turns to stone
Shattered in sheer desperation
Desolated, I stand
Facing the void of emptiness
In every altar a fool
In every pulpit a liar
In all of us, an evil lies
As we lunge blindly towards the pyre

Pale March

Curse of the world
Riding from the depths
From the abyss we all fear
Harbingers of plague
Our dreadful fate is near
Death of hope, season of death
Time to suffer, time to rue
Peaceful nights long gone
As greater fears come true
Oh, Armageddon
There’s nowhere to run
Our sanctum
Our shrine now destroyed
Aim of the bow
Flash of the blade
Hoofs set ablaze
Tilt of the scale
Swing of the scythe
Void in their wake
March on, pale march
March on
Walls painted white
Ground painted red
The prophecy starts to unfold
Skies painted black
Clouds painted green
Behold the dawn of the end
March on, pale march
Plague, War
Famine, Death
The colors of the pale march

Flow Of Time

Rivers of life never seem still
Flowing through eternity
On through valleys and hills
Underneath and high above
Yet we’re left with only thirst
Loose traces of how it all came to be
This cruel fate is our curse
In the flow of time
For each moment
Each cherished episode
Each decisive event
All belong to yesterday
Monuments to a past
Blurred and fading away
Twisted out of form
Life is a constant storm
This cruel fate is our curse
In the flow of time

[Carnival]
Outside
The storm clouds gathering
Moved silently along the dusty boulevard
Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
So they can in turn reach up and kiss the sky
They are driven by a strange desire
Unseen by the human eye
Someone is calling
I remember when you held my hand and
In the park we would play when the circus came to town
Look! Over here
Outside
The circus gathering
Moved silently along the rain swept boulevard
The procession moved on, the shouting is over
The fabulous freaks are leaving town
[Imhotep]
Armes, dunkes Wolkenkind
Hast dich erneut im Sturm gehüllt
Im fadenschein’gen Peschgewand
Dich selbst in ew’ger Nacht verbannt
Die undürchdringlich‘ zweite Haut
Hat die Grenze zur Welt erbaut
Als Eierschale hart wie stein
Lässt sich kein Licht noch Wärme ein
Eiskalte wände, falsches Haus
Kein Leben schlupft aus dir heraus
Kein ungeborenes reift heran
Nur noch ein zomiger, alter Mann
Grämt sich im inneren ewiglich
Selbst von dem Tod fürchtet er sich
Armes, dunkles Wolkenkind
Den schlimsten Kurs dein Geist stets nimmt
Dein Pfad des Grau’ns ist trugerich
Birgt nichts als Schmerz und Leid für dich
Szenarien deine Angst ersinnt
Die niemals war, noch wirklich sing
So fürchtbar tost der Sturm in dir
Dies böse alte, Ungetier
Lockt aus der Finsternis hervor
Den garstig zischelnd Schattenchor
Der, wie ein kalter, kranker Hauch
Sich fäulig häuft in Deinem Bauch
Und dann als ekler Leichenwind
Güte und schönheit von dir nimmt
Oh armes, dunkles Wolkenkind
[Carnival]
We sat and watched as the moon rose
For the very last time

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much - she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"
