I consume the wind that makes you cold
and drink the blood of the bleeding souls
to check your fear and hide the noise
of howling wolves that steals your voice
I confuse your mind and feed your dreams
to read your thoughts and keep them safe
from harmful truth and the hopeful lies
of the tempting demon that hurts your eyes
I will protect you from your visions
to save you from illusions
I will protect you from ideals
to save you from defeats
I consume the wind that makes you bold
and suck the blood of the living souls
to make you numb and hide the noise
of the howling wolves that is your voice
I seduce your mind to fear your dreams
and read your thoughts to keep you blind
from harmful truth and the open skies
of the outside world before your eyes

no haven will embrace you
no harbour keeps you safe
your comrades will desert you
no tower reaches heaven
no fortress stands to last
your desires makes you weak
no science will be mastered
no truth is absolute
your children won't lament you
no wisdom can be trusted
no glory lasts forever
your wishes won't be granted
like torches in the aeon flow
even suns flicker and die
forgotten as the ages grow
eternity is not for you

Tabula rasa
I feel too many affections obstacles
water must be allowed to seek it's own level
I don't seek to strive on others' expense
and the expense is mine as they judge my ways
I'm waiting for the rain to fall for days
I'm longing for the flood to sweep this all away
to grind the mountains to the level of the valleys
to cut the trees to the level of the grass
to asphalt the land in the name of equality
let us grow in mutual respect and care
I will transgress the laws and change the orders
to live within an environment of my choice
so don't force your will or taste to rule over mine
don't stand in the shadow of my hammer

I am
I am the rhythm and the noise
I am the voices in your blood
I am the logic and the lust
I am the poison in your breath
I am the shepherd and the wolf
I am the fire in your chest
I am the water and the stone
I am the hammer in your hands

Wall
of sound
we are born alone and lonely we remain
when we learn to speak we speak to hear a voice
as the years go by we learn a thousand words
then we try to talk to curse the silent sky
like diamonds in the ground
we are waiting to be found
in silence we are bound
by the wailing wall of sound
want to break the shell and cut the puppet strings
with our primal screams that echoes back inside
want to pierce the noise and make our voices heard
to the distant shapes that wonders who we are
we must put aside the weapons of our minds
cross the no man's land come with empty hands
overcome the fear to drop the last defence
speak forbidden words reach out beyond ourselves

Babel
I want to go to heaven
so I build myself a tower
a lonely pillar on the plain
for no one else but me
I want to taste the clouds
between my sharpened teeth
find out if I'm a demon
or a saint in disguise
I want to close the doors
behind my bleeding back
and dance among the shadows
for future glory's lost
I want to be religious
to walk among the chosen
and wear the mark of Cain
feel safe without regrets
I want a shining armour
to burn my hate and fury
until nothing still remains
but pure thoughts of peaceful minds
