I am just a lousy bum Searching for the unknown crumb The crumb the crumb Something or someone to come Come along illuminate my lust Combust Confucius might have been confused And Buddha might have blown a fuse I ooze the muse Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hot spot Back and forth my body's jerking Will to thrill will not stop working Work and work I'll take you on a honeymoon Jumping on a bed in a hotel room The room the groom Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance Like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hot spot
Load, 1996
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Huh!
Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the king
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
Oh, you're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never never land
Of machines and men, 2000
Strange is how I truly feel
When I watch the world outside
Everything appears unreal
With nowhere left to hide
When I was younger the light in my room
Would stay on with the light of the moon
Now the comfort I had in such things
Is broken and so are my wings
Afraid is what I truly am
Of nothing and all there is
Wouldn't help me if you gave a damn
Wouldn't bring me bliss
When I was younger the light in my room
Would stay on with the light of the moon
Now the comfort I had in such things
Is broken and so are my wings
Crematory, 1996
Ist es wahr...
Gefangen in deiner eigenen Welt - eigenen Welt
Zerpflügt wie ein blutiges Feld - blutiges Feld
Schmerzen und Leid in deinen Träumen
Verwirrt und verloren wie in leeren Räumen
Schmerzen und Leid in deinen Träumen
Verwirrt und verloren wie in leeren Räumen
Ist es wahr - ist es wahr - ist es wahr
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Traum
Ist es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Traum
Ist es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Quälende Gedanken in deinem Leben - in deinem leben
Gedanken die nehmen und doch alles geben - und doch alles geben
Unendlicher Raum in deinem Gehirn
Gefühle der Freude die dich verwirren
Unendlicher Raum in deinem Gehirn
Gefühle der Freude die dich verwirren
Ist es wahr - ist es wahr - ist es wahr
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Traum
Ist es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Traum
Ist es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Verzerrte Bilder die vor dir stehen - die vor dir stehen
So klar und deutlich wenn sie vergehen - wenn sie vergehen
Das unendliche Meer der Illusion
So ungreifbar wie eine andere Dimension
Das unendliche Meer der Illusion
So ungreifbar wie eine andere Dimension
Ist es wahr - ist es wahr - ist es wahr
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Taum
Ist es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Traum
Ist es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Ist es wahr oder nur ein Traum
Is es greifbar oder nur ein leerer Raum
Die Schmerzen die dich quälen
Begleiten dich durch dein ganzes Leben
Ist es wahr...
Cinema Strange, 2000
I love to hate you, I am in winter
Frostbite hath claimed me, I succumb to numbness
Freezing men don't laugh at murder
...Bleeding naked in the bathtub
Open windows tempt the savory
Women's heads float just as easily
Within the confines of crystal, reflected is my loathing
Under ice and still, chill waters fish bite stiff men and children
In the fog, in the woods, at midnight
In a land where it's always winter, I cut the thin skin of my ankles
And the wind follows me like army
Lashing like a bullwhip in the arctic, I fling icicles like bee-sting
Stuck under glass, in the sphere, in the snowstorm
I shut my eyes and sleep in sleet
Ancient Dreams, 1988
Take me through the centuries to supersonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes
Yeah, yeah
Alright now
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, I didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your surprise
You introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
Oh yeah, baby
Where did you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah
Reflex in the sky warn you you're gonna die
Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay
Nightfall in Middle-earth, 1998
Light fails at dawn
The moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns
Deceit
Finally I've found myself
In these lands
Horror and madness I've seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
I stand alone
No one's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you
He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries
Slowly in fear
The dark lord appears
Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down the Noldor's
Proudest king
Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
The Elvenking's broken
He stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant
His spirit survives
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
The Symmetry of I-The Circle of O, 1999
What are these penetrating colors
Of this soundscaping noisefloor?
Is this the old empty future
Or the black eletric nature?
Colors circulate inside of O
Ambient mind, the overdose
(...and I was injected with silence)
Are we all elastic worms
In this red tekknostorm?
Are there any energetic atoms
In this paradoxical zone?
Can the relapse of spasms
Be the rhythm of this dance?
Is this the neo-cultural spacetrip
Or the perpetual trancegrip?
Is the echo a shadow of presence
Or a soundtrack for nonexistance
Are the voices orchestral nightmares
Or synonyms to black and white faces?
Color circulate inside of O
Anbient mind, the overdose
(... and along came the spasms)
Are we all elastic worms
In this red tekknostorm?
Are there any energetic atoms
In this paradoxical zone?
The IVth Crusade, 1992
From the glowing fragments of
what remains,
The soul shall rise from amongst
the flames,
From smouldering ruins the
power grows,
Feel the pulse of fear as we
regain control.
From the ashes of a million dead,
The children of tomorrow now are led.
Into the darkness as emotions slowly
Memortes of the past cannot be saved.
Blowing down to face your new
found life,
There is no escape, you must comply,
This resurrected hate can't be denied.
Asking for redemption - we laugh and
lok away,
There shall be no exception - Revenge
on man begins today.
You thought that it was all over, But its
only just begun,
For your life is mortal, Look to what fate
will become.
Learn to live afraid of what may be,
For we possess this world - All that
you see,
Your life is no more than a game to me.
Visions of the future reflected in
the past,
Existing in the present which surely
cannot last.
From the void terror takes its hold,
Face the wrath as history unfolds
Over the edge, 1983
Set apart from the rest of the world
Caught up in the material world
With the forces of darkness on your side
No place to run, no place to hide
Only good die young
Only good die young
Only good die young
Only good die young
Oh, so young
Life's a struggle every day
Try so hard in your own way
Just waiting, waiting for the day
When strength and numbers come your way
[Chorus]
Only good die young
Only good die young
Only good die young
Only good die young
Oh, so young
From the bottom to the top
Wondering where your life will stop
They can't let you speak your mind
Must control you and your kind
Power's for those who just can't feel
Ripped from tit[?], put in steel
Nothing's lost when nothing's real
Nothing's lost when nothing's real
Only good die young
Only good die young
Only good die young
Only good die young
Oh, so young
Life's a struggle every day
Try so hard in your own way
Just waiting, waiting for the day
When strength and numbers come your way
