Feverish Eyes
Intelligence won’t pull you through,
You’ll have to believe what you saw.
Investigation will not satisfy,
This follows no scientific law.
Just take a look, when it shows up,
Don’t get too close, it’s everywhere.
It disapproaches and then it’s near,
Your feeling says it’ll always be there.
Feverish eyes
Feverish eyes
They are the only light
The only light in the night
Sometimes but seldom, there it is again,
But don’t you try to understand.
It can be dark, but also bright,
This is not a faculty of man.
Just take a look, when it shows up,
Don’t get too close, it’s everywhere.
It disapproaches and then it’s near,
Your feeling says it’ll always be there.

Babylon Flashback
Outburst of sunlight, a double sunshine and a triple sun.
The gardens, the temples, the gates, the city we have built.
Sudden flash of moonlight, a double moonrise, a triple moon.
We own these two rivers, the tides, and all of the fertile lands,
And the mighty city that we’ve build.
It’s gonna make it better for us all.
It will make the best for us all.
It will bring life to us all.
It's gonna be the death for us all.
Babylon, it’s gonna be the death of us all .........
See here, behold as we make the sun shine.
And see and behold as we produce the moon light.
Here stands the cradle for all our stars to be born.
Garden, temple of Ishtar, greatest gate and city on earth.
I'll make it better for us all,
I'll make it the best for us all,
I'll bring new life to us all,
And I shall bring death to us all.
Babylon is gonna be the death of us all .....

Nightliner
Here we appear, in what seems to be,
One of most heavy trips of these days.
We left to go, to bite the bullet, to bite the dust.
Travellin’ by night and playin’ by the day.
Nightliner, speeding through the night,
Nightliner, never running out of time.
Nightliner, sometimes leaving us to wait,
Nightliner, never ever running late.
While there is, so much stress,
In our effort, to have success.
We hit the day, shoot to score and make a mess.
Travel light, kill the time, live in a jazz.
Nightliner, speeding through the night,
Nightliner, never running out of time.
Nightliner, sometimes leaving us to wait,
Nightliner, never ever running late.

Marduk
Question is,
Will they return to the scene of the crime.
They are the red spot,
That always flashes through our minds.
You think you know what it feels like when IT explodes.
You’ll know the taste as you will into dust be turned.
And all what lives shall have to vaporize and will erode.
You’ll freeze and like a shadow on the rocks be burned.
Remember, The Red Planet, Remember.
Remember, The Six Point Star, Remember.
Remember we survived that destructions,
After they had entirely made us what we are.
Remember that they gave us our destination,
And after that hey vanished back to their own star.
Remember………….. The Red Planet.
Remember………….. The Six Point Star.

Brainbugs
What is it that is going on inside my head?
Looks like I’m on my way to breaking bad.
Is this eventually what I am in here for?
It’s nothing more than just to be a living dead.
What is it that is going on inside my brain?
Feels more and more like I am breaking down.
Is it what I have long been feeding myself on?
It’s nothing more than spinning ‘round and ’round
Spice my many thoughts…
Feed my hungry mouths….
Taste the flavour of my flesh…
Taste it, ‘cause I taste the best…..
Brainbugs…….
What’s goin’ on inside my life?
With all these feelings really bad.
It’s said that it will kill me in the end.
It’s said that first it’ll make me mad.

Remains
“Ring a ring o’ Roses, a pocket full of Posies,
Ashes… Ashes… We all fall down…”
Yes here inside it is a paradise and everyone has everything.
Our lives are sacred and we won't give a thing away.
Here inside the mighty walls we cherish every precious day.
It is valued high and we won't give anything of it away.
This is our precious, it makes us long for more of everything.
It is our idol, it makes us long for more, more of everything.
This is what we need and greed for,
So we will never ever give in…!!!
It is our most beloved,
It makes us long for more and more and more of Everything......!!!
What’s outside, remains outside.
What’s outside …. Remains !!!
What’s inside, remains inside.
Remains…….!!!
It's said that our persistence will kill us in the end.
But we are not afraid for the warnings that they send.
May there be black plagues and pestilences for us ahead.
We won't give in, 'cause we are not a bit afraid of death.....

Eat your heart out
This is the night that we have all been waitin' for.
This is the place, this is the hour, this is the crowd.
This is the moment for the ultimate of feasts.
This is the spirit and the voices, they sound loud.
I want you to
I need you to
This is what I like you to do
Eat your heart out.....
Here we are ready and we're eager for to give.
It's an arena, it’s a pit, this is a bless.
Now is the moment for some evil, for some wild.
Our world is metal and our love is merciless.
Eat your heart out
Feast your heart out……

What Are You Anyway

What are you anyway
While we’re often together, a lot still keeps us apart.
The subjects that you talk about,
show me that you ain’t got no heart.
While we’re both devouring food,
And are fond of useless machines.
The sarcasm in the letters you write,
Show me that you’re so goddam mean.
What are you anyway? What the hell are you?
While we are often together, there’s still a lot between us.
The language that you recently spoke,
Contains many foreign words.
While we both read Penthouse,
You for the stories and me for advice.
Why are you so warm for others,
While you’re to me like ice?
Now we’re no longer together,
I’m over the hill and you’re under the ground.
You no longer do your nasty things,
‘Cause you’re no longer around.
You’re wrapped up in an evil cold,
I’m walking in the midday sun.
Hope you found your rest and peace,
While I’m having lots of fun.

Fightin’ Flower (Cataleya)
With these movements so fine,
with a power that grows.
Precise hits fast like flashes,
while she strikes high and low.
They say she’s in big trouble,
but so perfect is her plan.
So she’ll always escape,
Rocket fire kills the men.
This cries for dead meat….
This calls for the severest of revenges!!
The man says she cannot kill him,
“You will never know where I am…. “.
But she got him, where she wanted him,
‘Cause that’s just part of her plan.
Laughs his loud lunatics’ laugh,
while she gives him the treat.
She commands her hungry dogs,
while she tells them to…………:
EAT! EAT!

Windows crashing Bats
“See these wild looking bats, how their dream world was smashed.
They saw heavens through glass, they died trying and crashed.”
You say: “Survival of the fittest.”
But if that really could be so,
No small child became a full grown human,
No new born baby would ever grow.
You say: “Beauty is only skin deep.”
But if that really should be so,
They would rip of your thin layer,
And they’d take it off before you know.
Windows, windows crashing, windows crashing Bats.
Windows, windows crashing, windows crashing Bats.
You say: “First ones will be last.”
But if that really would be so,
There could never be a winner,
No number one came up to show.
Windows, windows crashing, copy, paste, cut, delete….

The Beauty & The Teeth

7. Beauty and the teeth
The rather slow and grey days of my childhood
Were enlighted by here presence of my illness
Was enlightned by her laughter
She was so fine, she was so warm
Her beauty was so majestic and great
She had the face of an angel of hope to me
It was so heavenly and pale
Berenice give me your teeth
Berenice, please
Then she got ill and faded fast
Her beauty turned into sickening ugliness
While her state of mind got worse and worse
I was in the worst of states myself
All that remained of her heavenly beauty was
A set of teeth in her glorious mouth
32 gorgious, precious little tombstones
laughed at me in a horny horror
How obsessed I was, by what she possessed
But what caused awful state of shock?
What was it that frightened me so much?
Was it the voice of my dear conscience?
The smell of wet clothes covered with mud?
The feel of wet hands covered with blood?
Or is it the sight of that precious little box
That just fell from the table to the floor???
