Crystalline 03:24
Crystalline is on the dancefloor Just see her sway All alone in a sea of strangers Without a care So alive in the valley of death Slither pretty between the smoke and the flesh Crystalline You`re strange as angels Through the clouds and through the crowds She`ll raise her arms and the Heavens open To shine and shimmer down And the world is hard And the world is wide And all your saints have sin in mind But somewhere out there there`s a girl Who owns no shame and owns no fear if only for right now And `til the song is over and it all comes crashing down
2.
Chalices 03:09
I got lost on the path to the kingdom of heaven Left half a heart by the side of the road I`ve tried so many times to tear the stitches open And have a look inside And let you look inside Waiting for letters from a holy nowhere They tell me there`s nothing above When they offer a taste of their poison Offer a taste of your love
3.
Die clean or live for hell they say Love is naught but lust and treason I have read so many books on faith and life Death and redemption Yet I cannot find any answer The path is wide The gates are narrow Death on the beach Meaningless in heaven Hell doesn`t care I`m stumbling in the dark armed with nothing but my love Like a lost child crying for someone who you`re not sure is anywhere around
4.
Love and war, it all tastes the same Half-hearted and full of Hell Drinking from a cup of snakes And if I dream real hard when I lick my lips Arsenic taste like a kiss You are my private apocalypse Nagasaki of the heart White lightning on a black sky I`ve been to Hell and half way back "I wish we were real" Carbon girls dressed in their furs Know how it feels
5.
All my dreams spell armageddon The angels sighing in tongues Hell comes dressed up as heaven I`ll see you again at the gallows The anxious spirits hiss I`m wide awake and dreaming Bite through my tongue Fire, sleepwalk with me In the minefield of the mind Shot with barbie doll morale Jesus, bring the rapture on Drive me to the edge, let`s fall In anything but love
6.
Hold me like a crucifix Wear me `round your neck I`m hopeless not romantic You know it all comes down To the gun and which side you`re on They say it`s the dose that makes the poison If love was a colour It`d be cobalt blue Strike the match C`mon light my fuse If love was a colour It`d be cobalt blue All my roads lead to you I`ve been shaking My death rattle For far too long In an ocean of faces I saw you Now I`m talking to my ghosts Saying it`s time to go
7.
Always hunt the one you love As above so below I`ve got nothing to lose but my mind May the fiber of your shadow live forever in my eyes We`ll read eachother endtime stories Throwing darts on the headlines As the dawns early light Comes cutting through this night You say this is Hell and I think you`re right But there`s nowhere I`d rather be tonight To kingdom come and go A love that`s louder than the bomb
8.
Undone 02:35
Heaven falling and becoming as dust All is doom, all is rust Another love will come Another love will come undone
9.
Out of touch Out of luck Too much Not enough Turn off, phase out Tune in, wind down I`m bringing a bomb to a gunfight
10.
Burning in bed all alone Begging for the sandman to come Praying to dream of your ghost Cycle through memories of past lives We were lovers now we`re strangers again I forgot to take my heart back from your hands
11.
Running from the light Mouth full of heartache Crashing through the night Fill my lungs with a photo of your face Wake up and taste the doom Here`s to a suicide in bloom Wake up and taste the doom Lost in a monochrome memory of the taste of you
12.
Hold me like a crucifix Wear me `round your neck I`m hopeless not romantic You know it all comes down To the gun and which side you`re on They say it`s the dose that makes the poison If love was a colour It`d be cobalt blue Strike the match C`mon light my fuse If love was a colour It`d be cobalt blue All my roads lead to you I`ve been shaking My death rattle For far too long In an ocean of faces I saw you Now I`m talking to my ghosts Saying it`s time to go
