I can do it all, I undo it all.
You see these colours at the horizon,
When it's the end of the day.
The sky with flames in the evening,
I painted it your way.
See the vast fields over yonder,
Green and outstretched for miles.
A landscape rolled out, like a carpet,
Rolled out in your style.
Look at these mountains in the sun,
With snow on tops, so high.
Made many more, put them in a row,
They're all made in your style.
Look at these sky scraping buildings,
With roofs on top and towers high.
Some just don’t stand right up,
I've leaned against them for a while
You see these colours at the horizon,
But if you want, I'll make them disappear.
See the vast fields over yonder,
If it’s your wish, I'll make them history.
Look at these mountains in the sun
Just say the word and I'll tear them down.
Look at these sky scraping buildings,
If you desire, I'll destroy, they will be gone.

Attracted To Fire

Attracted to fire
I’m attracted to, I’m attracted to, I’m attracted to
I’m attracted to flames
Attracted to fire !
Attacked by a shower of flames that you spit
Having desire for it all.
I’m like the moth in the Blue Angel song
All these desires so strong.
Sure when I stay, I’ll be burned by the flames
Caught by a power transform.
I'll be consumed by ferocious fires
All these desires so wrong.
Attacked by a shower of flames that you spit
I'll be destroyed by your fire.
I’m like the moth in the Blue Angel song
I'll be consumed by desire.
She is the goddess of hellfire and she’ll bring you Fire !!

Fury !
This is a furious thing
This is Fury Fury Fury
This breeze, will be wind, becomes a storm
Small drops, become a stream, into the ocean
At first a girl, becomes a woman, femme fatale
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter.
Small store, will supermarket, becomes a mall
First a village, becomes a town, finally city
One fight, several riots, ends up a war
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter.
A warrior, a combat unit, will grow an army
Knife at a fist, will grab a dagger, yields a sword
A sole bullet, a booby trap, destructive H bomb
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter.

The Unexpected
There’s a time for what’s old
There’s a time for a change
There’s a time when it is all over
And there’s a moment, when you’ll have to face…
The Unexpected…
Out of nowhere…
In the sky, floating and hanging upside down,
Turning, speeding, slowing down, and making
All the movements, without making any sound.
It’s been hanging up there, radiating light,
A strange and exiting scene, accelerating fast
And going the other way around.
In this world of all strange phenomena,
It is still hanging up there, moving to and fro,
In opposite direction, but never ever coming down.
Strange and exciting things, up there in the air,
Everyone is gazing and wondering what it is and why,
So omnipresent in the sky.
Judgement day, when Chinese and Nephelim
Are coming, messing around,
forbidding all kinds of music.
Except when it’s played in the right Vortex style.

Drink bat blood
The first time that we met,
I choose to get inside of you.
I found a brand new way,
And not the way that others do.
Because I can’t be near you,
near where you are, near where you go.
Because I cannot be,
within your existence every day.
Next time that we met,
‘t was clear that my work could be done.
You could never ever do or go,
without my knowing anymore.
I got within you, I filled your life,
I was your system inside.
I’ll be your virus, you'll be in my grip,
I'll always penetrate your veins.
Last time that we met,
‘t was clear that my work was done.
You can never ever do or go,
without my knowing anymore.
I am within you, I’ll fill your life,
I’m your system inside.
I am that virus, you're in my grip,
I'll always be inside your veins

Run Of The Metals

Run off the metals
Run off the metals,
Go berserk, be deranged,
Run off the metals,
Raise your fists and raise your voice.
Hey you,
You better look for me
‘coz I’m the bad guy in this neighbourhood.
You can tell where I’ve been
by just looking at the dirt.
Some say it would be a great idea
to take a good look inside my head.
‘Coz where I’ve been it is the greatest mess on earth.
Hey you,
You better look behind
‘coz I’m right after you now.
If you dare turn around
you’ll see the most wanted face in town.
But then again you better look ahead,
or else you’ll crash that concrete wall.
I guess you’re in real trouble now, so why don’t scream and shout?
Hey you,
I saw you yesterday,
you were running up and down my streets.
It looked like you were looking for trouble,
so why not look for me?
You better clear the sky
before it falls down on your head.
And you better listen to this wise man’s good advice:

Livin' By The Day

Livin’ by the day
Living by the day
All night long.
Game is, you can not win
Game is, you will never loose
Clue is, you’ll have to find a book
Clue is, you have to carefully read, and find the rules.
While playing, you will find out
You’ll finally find the essence of the book
And still playing, you will find
You’re going to read and find the essence of the rules.
But while you read that book
You’ll find the game is over and it’s gone
So when you read about the rules
You’ll find the game is gone and you will be gone too

Oblivionimous
Oh I tend to forget
Oh I can not remember
Yes I tend to forget
I can not remember anything at all.
In the soft glow low low low and slow light.
A futile, diffuse and oblivious sight.
Next is, it is a glow in the dark.
In cold mist and in clouds and in smoke.
In the forgetfulness of the past times.
When all was still diffuse and not so clear.
I was drugged, doped and drunk.
I could not see clear and could not think sharp.
I can not find myself, in this pit full of mud.
I can not wish myself, in such a dirty gutter.
I can not picture myself, wading in thick blood.
I can not see myself, walking dead row.
