1. Leathal Pursuit
How did this lethal pursuit all begin ?
How long before Babel collapses again ?
Our Father speaks to us but we won't understand
In our garden of dust we plant the seeds of rage
More and more we need, we cultivate our greed
Earth mother can no longer quench
We make our brothers bleed and make our sisters bend
This race has to come to an end
Father had warned, "Don't reach for the sky"
The forbidden fruit cannot take you high
Then the snake retired, satisfied
After his victim took that fatal bite
Submission
You shall bend your knees, downward rise
Redemption
Sacrifice your greed, while it's time
A gathering of clouds, this will be the sign
Father will blind the sky so we can't see His face
No hopeful wind of change will ever dry His eyes
Who are the chosen few He will let climb the stairs ?
I'm not better than you
I won't always want you
I will not envy you
I won't get angry with you
I won't covet what's yours
And I won't eat too much
But I will have both pleasure and pain
Submission
You shall bend your knees, downward rise
Redemption
Sacrifice your greed, make it mine
God took a face from the ancient gallery
And on the eighth day, He started it all anew
When the circle is complete
From all the cakes
One single bite is all you shall take
2. Speak The Words
I need the hurting words
Please let me hear them now
Quench my need for pain
I want to feel it now
Silence he spoke again, oh
Or is it I don't want to hear ?
I read the words in his trembling hand
How can my love feed so much fear ?
Why don't you crucify me
So I can be reborn
I cannot bear the cross anymore
So many tears I cry behind my eyes
A silent, blinding form of lie
The hands that once took are now eager to release
One injunction I disappear
Let me hear what you want, but do you know ?
I'm beggin' you to speak the words, I can't let go
How can I stop breathing you ?
How can I stop sleeping you?
When will I stop bleeding you?
I just can't stop needing you, no
If you're looking for means to breed my hate
Rumor-spreading, broken promises are vain
The sanity assassin crawls inside my brain
His name is love, yeah
Hate I do not need
Nothingness I seed
Mercy is my plea
Why don't you speak the words ?
3. Evil Game
And when her heart strays away
She blinks at the light of day
When the truth is too hard to face
She's ready to fall from grace
Where is the girl that I used to know ?
I can't feel the love anymore
You know, and I know
Nothing can tear us apart
Just one more try
Life is no game and I won't load the dice
No, I won't resign this time
So she pleads guilty to her crime
She indulges in lies that her tears confess
Her feelings she can't repress
Meaningless words just to ease the pain
I swear I won't hurt you again
You know, and I know
Nothing can tear us apart
Just one more try
Life is no game and I won't load the dice
Girl your sweet lullabies won't allay my suspicion
You try to hypnotize me but you can't blur my vision
He can give no answer to unspoken words
She knows he can't blame her for secrets unheard
I don't want your body, I just want your soul
I've sold mine to the devil and I need yours to fill the hole
When the night takes me in her arms
My spirit flies to the place where dream and day unite
An empty room with burning candles
Moving shadows on white sheets
She feels the bite of the candlelight on her naked skin
I wanna share your heat
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me
I taste your lips in an endless kiss
A delicious mix of desire and fear
You know, and I know
Our world is falling apart
No more last try
See you in hell girl you're no longer mine
4. One More Time
Why did we die last night ?
Why did I follow you down in the deep dark sea ?
One more time
I wanna lay down and die
Love colored me blind
I can't tell black from white
Baleful moonlight
Lost souls in the water
Trapped in the ice
Her words were forever
"I'd take my own life before losing you"
Why did it seem so real ?
Why is this fateful dream painting my days so blue ?
Sea, the story said, is bound to be the sailor's deathbed
Will it ever be the only time she will share his bed ?
Hear, sirens are calling you now
(They) want to take you away from me
Don't let them lead you astray
Voices they lie, believe in me
One more time
I wanna lay down and die
Love colored me blind
I can't tell black from white
One last time
Let us lie down tonight
I'm gonna love you till I die
Until my final sigh
5. On A Fall's Night
Ooh let me dive in your eyes
Ooh let me dive in your eyes
Now I know, I can see it all so clear
Please don't go, 'cause baby I need you near
Lights on, bright, I'm hidden down in the shade
I hear your voice raise
Emotion, I can feel my body heat
Turned on by your beat
You give me thrills
I wish time would come to a standstill
You give a smile
How I wish you'd never say goodbye
Devotion, I'm standing out in the rain
Calling out your name
Ignition, take me to the promised land
Reaching out for hands
On a fall's night I fell as surely as a leaf off a tree
I didn't realize at once
I guess I was too blind to see
I woke up the next day
You had snatched my soul away
I had your sound still in my ears
Although your face had disappeared
You give me thrills
I wish time would come to a standstill
You give a smile
How I wish you'd never say goodbye
Alone you dance in the middle of nothingness
If I could ...
A solitary waltz, let's spin together
We'll go round and round and round ...
Ooh let me dive in your eyes
Ooh let me dive in your eyes
I have never learned to swim in shallow waters
Every time I plunge into your gaze I drown
6. Cold Sun
I stare into the night
Can't see no light, forever gone
Why was I so blind ?
Maybe the sun was much too strong
Now I'm on my own, my heart of stone comes back to life
Death opens my eyes to past mistakes
Too late to learn
So many nights I waste in cries
My tortured soul can't find no rest
On a bed of nails my body lies
Let me begin my quest
I'll wait, no matter how long it takes
Embrace, you know there's no time to waste
Alone you rise, fading away in the night
I heard the call so many miles away from you
I'd go back in time for one last goodbye
I remember when we used to dance
The games we used to play out in the snow
I know I won't get another chance to let my feelings show, oh no
Oh no
When the music died, I realized the words were wrong
Though I try to rephrase, the song remains the same
I wonder how long
So many nights I waste in cries
My tortured soul can't find no rest
On a bed of nails my body lies
Let me begin my quest
I'll wait, no matter how long it takes
Embrace, you know there's no time to waste
7. The Wait
Bad dreams keep telling me it's all in vain
They say I'm just training my love for pain
You would never give me the key to your heart
And this wait would only tear my soul apart
Night dawns, I rise
Still my wandering spirit stays down
Bathed in my own lies
Never said forever bound
Even if my will dries out
The rain will bring it back to life
One embrace, erase my doubts
Only your touch can clear my sky
Share the emptiness
The wind of dreams that create reality I caress
Try and see the light
Stop fighting love, don't close your eyes
I'll wait another day
I trust that time will find a way
Come, surf with the alien on top of a wave
Dive and in our hearts the sea of love will rave
Swim in the sea bed, in the morning reach the shore
Hide under the sails till your body asks for more
Times change, love remains
How could the wind blow out the flame ?
No way to escape
Don't leave me lost inside the maze
Try and see the light
Stop fighting love, don't close your eyes
I'll wait another day
I trust that time will find a way
Shh, no more words
8. Gift ?
