1. INTRO - VIOLENT VORTEX

(Instrumental)


2. RIDE

Lack-lustre vacuum magnetises the land,
Scopeless material in ruthless demand,
Concrete spectacle superficially grand,
Divine animation buried in sight.

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation,
Crystal warriors of damnation.

Nullified grafters manufactured from the womb,
Out of the repro-clinic into household tomb.
Drag the nothing tiring through coal-dark underground,
Drive the wheels of iron round and round.

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation,
Crystal warriors of damnation.

Scouring eyes sear through that book of lies,
And to the truth, well our search is dignified.
Whilst the yawny drone of physical machinery
March in robot mode to terminal destiny.
Microscopic observance, forsaken innerland,
Spiritual inertia, absorbed in bland,
Well our significance shan't sink in their charade,
'Cos through their drab pantomime I say we're gonna ride!

We'll rise from the ashes of stagnation,
Crystal warriors of damnation.


3. ENTER THE WORMS

Adorned daggers, ruby hilted swords,
Unfailing crucifixes, striking mortal cords,
Huge violent serpents in volumes rolled,
All holy poisons poured in cups of gold.
Ooh these instruments so blessed and old,
Here lay death's sceptre - truth untold
Without mercy or

Love, forgiveness - exile me,
Blades of goodness set me free,
Madness my destiny,
Alone forever exile me.

Sharp swords, bright lightings set brave souls free,
Past God's blind eyes through infinity,
Of all these vessels transformed to clay,
Rich ashes blown to dust - swept away!
Now take me steel to the gift of skies,
Deliver me from weakness from this flesh that rides.
Without pity or;

Love, forgiveness - exile me,
Blades of goodness set me free,
Madness my destiny,
Alone forever exile me.

Ooh to think how pleasant your touch would be,
In that all my lovely limbs would fall away,
And drop to nothing in their soft decay.
Unto my frail heart, the worms shall find a door,
Enter the weary pulp - into the core!
As all of my flesh lay soft on the floor,
Released this soul from me, forevermore!
Into the loud tide screaming silent words,
Out of this dreary world in screeching awe,
Without earthly

Love, forgiveness - exile me,
Blades of goodness set me free,
Madness my destiny,
Alone forever exile me.


4. MIDNIGHT MOUNTAIN

Sliding down a mountain, as dusk passes to day.
The antidote of elation, now lifeless masses wake.
Jaws of suxiety open, the luring vampire of agility,
A fatal invitation, sight hazing from me.

Oh midnight mountain, I require,
Inner re-location, back to pinnacles high.

Drowning in empty faces, sinking in banal.
I crave the isolation of eventide when perception climbs,
I just need the injection, a dose to boost my flight,
A sonic blast of moonlight, nucleus ignites

Oh midnight mountain, now I'm revived,
Stimulus transcending back to pinnacles high.

Screaming at doleful skies, absorbing all my sighs,
Responding to my cries - downcast a thunder of reprise,
Won't let the next sunrise, signal my landslide,
From ecstatic highs, I'm on top of their demise.


5. FOUNTAIN OF INNOCENCE

Fountain of youth, lifespirit flows
Into a well of truths, of cold and dim repose.
I craved to be as high as the pillowy clouds,
To walk amongst the tall,
Who used to look back down and frown.

Now here I stand by the wasteland, where our dreams began.
From these once golden fields our curiosity ran...

I chased the sugar claw through temptation's door,
The bitterness I found...sweetness I taste no more
From the play ground to the slayground,
The sombre middleground absords the emptiness.

Look back across the marble sea of discovery,
A fountain of innocent flows in juvenescence.

I'm resident in corridors of sentiment.
I face the wall - discovery terminal,
But there's no more false truths I wish to discover,
And I am physically unable,
To tread back down those corridors.
Fountain of youth, oh how I bathed in your innocence,
And now in cold repose, I must face the bitter truth...


6. GRIM LUXURIA

Cold sin and fire, burning wrath and anger,
This crippled splendour of lust so dire yeah!
Insane visions of beauty, groanings so empty,
Wriggling in agony, the frail corpse of love that's me.

Hair and eyes limbs and faces,
Bending hard in fierce embraces.
Ooh this loveless rage, come give me pain -
Arcane exotica, ooh grim luxuria.

Twisted lust on fire,
Love the bastard liar.

Sick grins of pleasure, warped torsos in heaven,
Bending tongues - saliva, licking lifeforms of grotesque.
On the floor bones cracking, like evil dogs mauling,
Grunting in this ecstasy, - shaking, screaming, clawing me!

Pleading eyes mangled faces,
Torn apart, in growling places.
Ooh this seething cage, white light in vain,
Arcane exotica - grim luxuria.

Twisted lust on fire,
Love - the bastard liar.
Oh sweet sanctity, -
Hell is pouring over me.


7. JADED ENTITY

Here, gibbering alone...oh the earth and heavens,
They so tire me, tomorrow's dreams encased
In a velvet sanctuary.
The crumbled throne of worldly gain,
Is glory forgotten, and now just nothing remains.

We've come too far, we are so close,
One soul, inside, one forever weeping.

As the vain morning dawns all life fades away,
You can take me now, beyond the violet veil,
And whatever flames the night in these deeds I've done.
In fate's control, at last my time has come.

We've come too far, we are so close,
One soul, inside, one forever weeping.

Death is death, the little host that squirms,
Smell the dark - the coffin's closed,
And I so soft - ooh so soft, no movement,
And no breath, no ears, no nose - no eyes.
Death is death, in life's sepulchre -
No sight, no sound, no cry, and
Always...always... death is
Death - yeah! (Alive again).

Eeeaaergh - damp skin in greying sheets,
Decaying bed absorbing me,
Bleached white ceiling above - dehydrating visions of love.
Vitality slides back down the walls,
Saturating the velvet floor,
Numbness writhes in all I adore,
Wasting here, can't see the door...


8. ASHES YOU LEAVE

Your face, the furnace of my soul
The endless lies that we told
Clear blue waters in which we bathed
The yesterdays we failed to save

Still I see how we cannot be

Ashes you leave as you ascend from me

The leaves that fell unto our graves
And with the love that we made
The tree that filled my eyes
Tomorrow's yesterdays in stone engraved

Still I see we cannot be

Ashes you leave as you ascend from me

Oh the black you gave me
The love you gave me
The anti-fears of pain
Our love's my shelter
I try to fill up
Clouds of dust
It was a lie
Snow in those eyes
I tasted that wine too much
And now I sit
Beside our graves
And hold her hand

Weep for autumn skies shrouded in misty air
Weep for thy solemn dearth and for thy chill despair

Ashes you leave as you ascend from me

Demons

As shadows pass
In the misty night
Over though, on and moving fast

Ashes to life

Into darkness into night


9. PHANTASMAGORIA

Hear the calling,
Any other way.
A faint slithering....
A form blooming,
A vision or nightmare?
Shadows motioning.

Bled hollow/holler
Agents so hateless
Eyes all grown ordained
Reflections frozen,
Smiles so darkless,
And for the days contained.

Oooh it's creeping closer,
Oh it's here again.

Break - your wealth - has fallen,
Seriously don't know here
Drenching down the halls.
Bleeding angels flee from heaven,
Awake...in blood and see,
That sin has come to call!

And hunger for the blade.
A wriggle purple,
Anguish and mourning,
Squelching for the chain

I sunkered, greend lips mulching,
Hunger trickling.
Into the gates - The Jelly Master
Wobbling, Jiggiling.

Smooth and soft,
I'm all sweet.
Just too brave for meeah!
Shredding, rotting in the face of death
A vacuum slide ---Awake Again!

And all my heart,
Absolved in filth.
A rested anguish - sorrow and woe
Into nothingness - so low

Paint earth this groaning, oh!
Mottled rapids ...drowning snow
All lonely on the word alone
Towards DoomWards
Here I go!
Oh so low

Roaming through,
This liquid maze.
Slithering path,
Ancient pay/pave
To the stinging place,
The loving phaze.
Jiggling master,
Take me on my way.
All but butterflies here,
This wriggling haze.
Beyond decay

To nothingness and nether-peace...
I scream and roar.
(goodnight master)


10. IMPRISONED IN FLESH

Wishing that the sun would shine,
Flesh wasting dreams inside.
In this prison burning light,
Which fades on the outside.

I only want to believe,
That there's a place better for me,
A union where lost souls meet,
Where I can share this flame with thee,
Hide and reach beyond entropy,
In all that you seek - burn with me.
