Memoria
Ambivalent Ecstasy
1. Faithless Prophet
Another paragraph, new lines
Fill with psalms and advice
Like the chapters of your past
You write your Testament
I hate to say you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
I hate to say you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
Another worn-out scarecrow
In hot, hot summer
Abandoned territory of a heart
Fills with foolish anger
I hate to say you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
Tell me why can‘t you see you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
Liar!
Save your neck, build a wall
All around your reality
Protect your old stupid world
Keep your shallow faith
I hate to say you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
Tell me, why the hell you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
Tell me why, why the hell you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
Tell me why the hell you are
An ambivalent, ambivalent liar
2. High Spirits Too Low
I can hear you speak
But I see no sense in it
I don’t care about your demons
Don’t care about your fantasies
Fantasies and dreams
Burnt by troubles, evil fears
In life without temptation
Tell me something …
Tell me something else!
Let me know who your god is
What is your faith
I want to know
´Cause I am destiny’s angel
Your dark messenger
Cruel Messiah
You plan all lifetime
Still hoping for a bliss in it
I don’t care about visions
Don’t care about their mysteries
Such heaven’s not for me
Silly realm of your divinity
I wonder if you understand
There is something …
There is something else!
Let me know who your god is
What is your faith
I want to know
´Cause I am destiny’s angel
Your dark messenger
Let me know who your god is
What is your faith
I want to know
´Cause I am destiny’s angel
Your dark messenger
Cruel Messiah
Oooh … God is much too close
Too … Much too easy for you
Divine sacrifice
God is much too close
Divine sacrifice
Let me know who your god is
What is your faith
I want to know
´Cause I am destiny’s angel
Your dark messenger
Cruel Messiah
3. Do Not Try
My fascination’s grown
Out of nothing
You’ve been falling out
Of my mercy
What on earth is that
Comforts desperate soul
Searching for a response
To a cry
I don’t try anymore
Anonymous crowd
Wades into my heart
Leaves without a trace
Tears are only a fake
See them all around
Tears are only a fake
See them all around
I see through crack in shell
Clashes of lightning
Someone rescue me
From the darkness
Darkness of my soul
Growing deeper
Can’t you see my heart
Has almost died
I don’t try anymore
Anonymous crowd
Wades into my heart
Leaves without a trace
Tears are only a fake
See them all around
Tears are only a fake
See them all around
I see through crack in shell
Clashes of lightning
Someone rescue me
From the darkness
Tears are only a fake
See them all around
Tears are only a fake
See them all around
Tears are only …
4. Splintered Heaven
I’ve played the fool for so many times
I have been down, you know how it hurts
Read the writing on the wall
Now it’s time to go on
Hopes fell apart when blue daylight
Drew my shadows from behind
They keep me a silent company
When it’s time to go on
When it’s time to clear out
All the dust and ash of might-have-been
Wash bloody hands of all your dirty lies
Cry for the moon as you fantasize
Heavenly sister
Nothing but shooting star
Hot and glamorous, now here, then gone
Meets her horizon
Gone like your evil twin
Wash bloody hands of all your dirty lies
Cry for the moon because you only fantasize
Heavenly sister
Nothing but shooting star
Hot and glamorous, now here and then
Meets her horizon,
Gone like your evil twin
Your evil twin has caused too much pain
I want to forgive you, I’d like to hear
“I need you beside me”, hold me tight
Let me feel, I am
The shooting star on your horizon
Now here and tomorrow gone
5. Heart Gambled Away
Give up the chase now
Good luck is back
As I’m the black horse
No argument
You’ll lose your money
Or win my heart
Don’t tease me, honey
Joking apart
Shuffling the feet when
All’s at stake
I watch you shiver, hey hey hey
Give you a lesson
I want to play
The game named poker
Start to pray!
Jack, king or queen
Joker makes the team
Don’t hedge bets
Don’t hedge bets
Hearts, clubs or spades
Diamonds, croupiers
Don’t hedge bets
Don’t hedge bets
Fortune wheel clicking
Dice with death
Life is a darkened
Cabaret
I’ll lose your money
Or win your heart
Don’t tease me, honey
Jokes apart
Shuffle the cards, please
Don’t let me wait
I watch your fingers, hey hey hey
Give me all aces
I want to play
The game named poker
Start to pray!
Jack, king or queen
Joker makes the team
Don’t hedge bets
Don’t hedge bets
Hearts, clubs or spades
Diamonds, croupiers
Don’t hedge bets
Don’t, don’t hedge bets
Our game goes on
Faces hide all the feelings
Pressure’s high
Our game goes on and on
No one shows how hard
We are challenging
Lady Luck
Here we go, Lady Luck
6. Shed the Old Skin
I’m finally shedding old skin
Of painful losses
Sweep away worries and all fears
I am breaking the narrow shell
Crushing hard core
Of all dated histories
Heading for a crazy destination
To go “Somewhere ... Devil may care”
I’m stripping off the black veil of my sorrow
And all wasted chances
Let me leave all the fears far behind
Let me leave them and disappear
No way back, no way out
When you lose
No way back for a tainted one
No way back, no way out
When you lose
No way back for a tainted one
Shake off leaves of weary feelings
Make me up a brand new smile
Lacing up for a happy, happy walk
Putting on a sunny hat
A hat that will keep away the rain
To keep me safe and dry
From the rain of tears that falls
Around ... Around
Let me leave all the fears far behind
Let me leave them and disappear
No way back, no way out
When you lose
No way back for a tainted one
No way back, no way out
When you lose
No way back for a tainted one
Let me leave all the fears far behind
Let me leave them and disappear …
7. Solitude - My Life
Write down all my names
I simply can’t decide who I am
As this awful time
Makes me gather in
All scattered hopes
You know I am
Charmed by easy-going fools
I’m above it
I will get the feeling soon
You shall not turn me down
Wonders come, pass me by
Go in wind that blows
Open up my heart
Crazy fear that feeds on my pain
Has arrived and opened my mind
To the rain
You know I am
Charmed by easy-going fools
And I’m above it
I will get the feeling soon
You shall not turn me down
Amber dawn has come
Bye-bye solitude
No more vain desires
Bridges fall and burn
Manic attitude
Really grabs me hard
Charmed by easy-going fools
I’m above it
I will get the feeling soon
Feel it coming
Charmed by easy-going fools
I’m above it
I will get the feeling soon
You shall not turn me down
8. Lonesome Road
This night’s driving you crazy
Slowly your sanity flies on the loose
And you continue losing
Balance of your tortured mind
Who’s gonna cure your painful doubts
You don’t know how
You don’t know how you came
To hate so much
You drive on in heavy rainfall
There is no way from the hell you are feeling
Who’s gonna cure your painful doubts
You don’t know how
You don’t know how you came to hate so
Drive through the crazy, raging night
There is no way
There is no way out from your mad hell
Roads wind in the darkest of all nights
Wind blows an empty message
Lonely tune whispers secrets of your past
Hasn’t anyone listened
Who’s gonna cure your painful doubts
You don’t know how
You don’t know how you came to hate so
Drive through the crazy, crazy night
There is no way out
No way out from your painful hell
There is no way out
There is no way out …
9. No Utopia
Bloodshed stopped
And scavengers cruising over
Scream of anger and despair
That killed all the humans
Blinded windows open
Their houses’ injuries
That’s a different party
From what you have seen
Our world is no Utopia
Ever just and accurate
The world breaks down
A helpless freak
A sentimentalist
Blame the silly mankind
Or blame the religion
You can shout your pains out
Weep a million bitter tears
Our world is no Utopia
Ever just and accurate
The world breaks down
A helpless freak
A sentimentalist
Wounds of war cannot be treated
By the art of medicine
Helpless creatures suffer
When they see no end to a fight
Our world is no Utopia
Ever just and accurate
The world breaks down
A helpless freak
A sentimentalist
We are breaking down
The door went big bang
No-one knows when it closed
All has crashed
Broadcast is live on our TVs
Disgusting news
Fresh bloody news
Our world is no …
Our world is no Utopia
Our world is no Utopia
Wounds of war cannot be treated
By the art of medicine
Helpless creatures suffer
When they see no end to a fight
10. Lonely Echoes
I walk in grey chambers
Where aging photographs glow
Eyes open wide star
In the cold universe
Endless Universe of Echoes
Of Lost and Found trips down
Down our Memory Lane
Surrender desire
Wild, shivering heart
Love’s a lullaby
It’s no hide and seek
In Endless Universe of Echoes
Of Lost and Found trips down
Down our Memory Lane
Wash away…
… All my sorrow and daydreaming
All the tenderness and desires
Imagination can’t ever fathom
In lonely chambers I wander round
Aging photographs in the fire
Slowly become ashes of past
Turn you dust
Turn you dust …
They turn you dust
In Endless Universe of Echoes
Of Lost and Found trips down
Lyrics in plain text format
