Cryptic Carnage
Retrospect 2000



FRANZIS T.

shadow like london´s vice is creeping through the night
protected – by night and fog
covered – in defiance of law and order

from new england came a quack to find his victims
devilish – sly in his mind
no clue will bring explanation, no suspicion
scotland yard gropes in the dark

1. "i keep on hearing that the police will catch me soon
i have laught about that they seem to look so clever
they say I´m a doctor now
have you seen the devil with his scalpel?"

2. "i love my work and want to start again
you will soon hear of me and my funny little games
the next job I´ll do – I shall put the ladys ears of and
send it to the police officers just for joy catch me if
you can – GOOD LUCK...!"

Who will be able stop the devils game...?
Who will be able stop the devils game...?
Who will be able stop the devils game...?
Who will be able stop the devils game...?


VISIONARY EYES

when comes the time
where a new age begins
and where religions are meaningless?
when comes the time
where we live in harmony with mother earth?

a man from salon
known as michel de notredame
had visions even in his childhood
the course of history was known to him
but he couldn`t tell it anyone
the lord of lilly won`t trust him
in a gilded cage he will die soon
but he didn`t wanted to know about this thread
and so fate was fulfiled
in a cruel way

see how the old sun falls
use the time and solve the mystery
will rule eternal darkness
or will rise a new sun?
Those which we`ve lost 2000 years ago?

coded hidden burned and misunderstood


THE GUARDIANS AWAKE

hathor and anubis have awaked
their cold breath is spreading
in the valley of kings a slight breath
of disquiet the death is near

a glaem of light falls in the darkness
who dares to distrub the peace of the godlike king?

eyes which hardly accustomed to the darkness
see what for thousands years only could be seen by ra´s eyes

they desecrate the peace of tut-ench-amun
blinded by gold and precious stones
and only concerned about their own glory
no-one observes the inscription on the wall
that promises misfortune
for those who despise amon-ré and his son...!

hathor and anubis have awaked
their cold breath is spreading
in the valley of kings a slight
breath of disquiet the death is near
the lord of the sun don´t know any mercy...!


WHERE THE CLOUDS...

A scientist drifts in his boat the silent river down
He follows the waters current
(The flow which defrauds him...)

The monotony of whistling chuckling
and singing Voices is tiring out of man
And suddenly - a rolling thunder
First still in distance but soon a increasing loudness
thunder - Like from a storm of nature
breaks the still around, still around…!

closer and closer comes the risk....
Now return or approach to the shores
It´s urgent - the time runs against him

Where the rainbow raises in the unknown....
Where a river flows into the lowlands....
Where the water darts in steep bows into the deep....
Where gigantic veils of thigt haze rise....
And the elements build a unit!
On this place there are living the gods,
and there the clouds will be born in water....!


ST. BARTHOLOMEW

A young aristocrat came to Paris
To marriage Margot the King`s Sister
(But his Religion wasn’t the religion of the Valois)

This wedding meant new hope
After too many wars
Which didn’t gave this land any peace

Thousands came to the capital
To celebrate this wedding of peace
Thousands didn’t knew their destiny
They only came to die

Which is the true religion?
One nation devided
A wedding should bring peace between the religions
But the night of St. Bartholomew
Destroyed every hope
Une mort terrible au nom du même dieu


1793

a diary, cased in old leather
tell the story of a swiss medicine
he wrote down his precious life
and filled the empty pages with his lifework

you can read about my father
he was known as a doctor and healer
and his ownership of property

you can read about my mother
the one i loved more than everything
she died in childbed as she gave
birth to my brother

is death the final end
can i reanimate those i once loved

to his german teacher weidmann he remained
faithful and according to his theory
he created a new life

death isn´t the end
i can reanimate those i once loved


ROAD OF VICTORY

Legendary and fairytale
Appeared Mesapotamia to the greek
so he advanced with his army
Into the unknown

The disciple of the great Aristoteles
Reached the end of the would
Conquest and exploratory urge
After eight years – the destination
My lord…! He gained all Asia

He wanted to proclaim the hellenic empire
The Greek united his army
Babylon should be the capital
But it was never realized
He died by disease and left this world

The Macedonian ordered his nation
To discover and conquest
To march along into the distance
They devoted themselve to their fate
And marched along into the distance
