Sadism 04:18
Through the dark night of the soul Through the dark night of the soul Through the dark night of the soul Through the dark night of the soul
2.
Gathering 03:53
Washed away cruel, white asylums Dirty feet born to empty closets Loving the cold, because you’re the tyrant Hearing the call of dreamy sirens Can’t you be good? Teethless Kissing our chains, tasting us Haven’t I gone to your home? Under your skin Your beating heart Dreaming on The night won’t pass A spinning head A final god Isn’t it love that sees you? Isn’t it love that sees through you? Washed away cruel, white asylums Dirty feet born to empty closets Loving the cold, because you’re the tyrant Hearing the call of dreamy sirens

Justine 03:01
We take from a hundred souls And give them a space they can call their own Pleading their lives away We lock them inside a hollow house With love I have left you this home of mine And a window of only light I will take from you everything My only Justine The wind blows through the grass Taking the flowers and coins you left Payment for a look at spring God takes from you everything When you cry, will I look at you? Will I care for your soul? None but me to open the door I’ll leave, leave, leave you With love I have left you this home of mine And a window of only light I will take from you everything My only Justine

Golden light Silent hope Northern wind Spanish home
5.
The haunting things they told about their deceased loved ones It’s like they wanted us to believe they were ashamed They told about them reaching for the freezing surface As dusk’s cold blackness dragged them down took their lives The days that followed brought the pale dead to the surface Tied ropes cut off their feet and set them free at last Their floating crowns of squirming hair will always haunt me They are the only things that stalk my dreams at night
6.
I feel so lucky to be in the dark Crawling through gutters: the future graves of man I see what is to come and I enjoy The onset of grand decay The light is blinding, I lay low Clouds will come soon, I know, I know We shall transform into the formless christ Transcending flesh, breathing endless light Footsteps of children I hear above Parents, merchants, my homeless loves Whores and dogs slip in the mud All will perish in the onset of grand decay We shall transform into the formless christ Transcending flesh, breathing endless light
7.
We lay in the garden Under a thousand suns Dark like the evening shadows We fucked under mothless skies Our lead-filled bodies in the mud Contorted like the vines inside our veins We sang until the blackest star lit up And danced on the corpse of our own love In deep waves of thought Our minds become numb To the sparkling and twisted night sky Honing the nails meant for our hands If we rose like gods From our tombs of clay Would we silence the creeping dawn? And preach our bloodstained faith? In deep waves of thought Our minds become numb To the sparkling and twisted night sky Honing the nails meant for our hands
8.
Afterlife 04:58
I dream of the cold and beasts in the sky From a reddened dusk to a pitch black night I am more than ready, there’s no reason to wait, Old age left its mark on my face and the earth Hearing the call and slipping away Been on this island for far too fucking long Swallow me whole, I am on my knees Salvation was never this close at hand Afterlife, child of my longing Give me what I deserve Drape the earth with my flesh for my soul is in heaven Hearing the call and slipping away Been on this island for far too fucking long Swallow me whole, I am on my knees Salvation was never this close at hand
