In a Dream In a dream I'm climbing the clouds I touch a subdued sky With my bare hands In a dream Let me drag you through my world My kingdom for your thoughts What is in your mind When the night is to rouse your desires In a dream And the world of darkness whispers In a dream Be prepared to leave your reality In a dream Wake up to a game called life In a dream In a dream I stand naked on a hill I am looking down at me Trying to touch my cold skin In a dream In a pool of blood Evil is as pure as innocence Evil is as pure as love When the night is to rouse your desires In a dream And the world of darkness whispers In a dream Be prepared to leave your reality In a dream Wake up to a game called life In a dream Clouds If I walk on the water today Will people worship me tomorrow Will my name be spread faraway To give people both strength and sorrows Look into my cristal ball I have got news for you my dear There is a god inside you all But he is hidden in your deepest fear Step outside the clouds that hide you The black clouds that cover you Listen fools, a dream I send If you make the madness end Else I shall a nightmare call To do harm within you all You call me Satan, I call me sin I breed in you but you have locked the door Open yourself and you shall win And you'll not even need me anymore Step outside the clouds that hide you The black clouds that cover you Smell of Incense The smell of flowers, the smell of grace If I could only find such a wonderful place The place not known before you die A paradise above the skies The smell of incense takes me high Way up high where eagles fly If I close my eyes I see it clear The visions are whispering in my ears The smell of pain, the smell of death The odour that is my last breath The smell of incense takes me high Way up high where eagles fly A Caress of Stars I was your fear and you were my fate I wanted you near but I bred your hate You left me for dead, deep down in the mud With scars of my head, in my heart and my blood On my head, in my heart and my blood On my head, in my heart and my blood "A caress of stars A silhouette in the twilight sky The daybreak sets on silver seas My name echoes through crimson hills On the horizon, where seas meet clouds A scenery shimmers beyond reality I glance a world as a recent lit star I am swallowed by universe" A vacant eye caught the last moonlight A wish to die to be shining bright As a star to light your way To where we are not led astray Where we are not led astray Where we are not led astray "A caress of stars A silhouette in the twilight sky The daybreak sets on silver seas My name echoes through crimson hills On the horizon, where seas meet clouds A scenery shimmers beyond reality I glance a world as a recent lit star I am swallowed by universe" Deep in death Wrapped in the morning deauty Comes close my love My dearest sister and friend The Sleeping Beauty Dedicated to Hannah Stjärnvind Alone I sit, I wonder why You dream of love and so do I But in your sleep you cannot see This pain which is always haunting me What I need I'll never feel This world is for me unreal So I drink to darkness with a candle lit And through the whole night alone I sit The sleeping beauty She stops the bleeding She stops the bleeding in my soul She is fresh air in this stinking world The more I drink, the more I see That suicide could be the key To the place called paradise Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies But if I look beyond all this I reckon something I would surely miss Because in my dreams I rule my life And the sleeping beauty is my wife The sleeping beauty She stops the bleeding She stops the bleeding in my soul She is fresh air in this stinking world Forever Burning Flames Rip out my heart and put it on the table Read my life in the blood I am waiting to answer your suffering pleas As a deathly silence does curtail my remains In the river of tears ruins blood from my eyes Yet another morning is emptying my veins Alone I seek, a tiny groove I stalk In the river Lethe I slowly drown Empty screams To fill a new world A place I've missed Bodies are courses where maggots are turning Souls are flames that are forever burning Raging flames cover my corpse Far from identity and remembrance But the shades of my mind are still carrying Colours of most beautiful kind Around the cenotaph I am scattered I am in the air you breathe Let us forget me for awhile And I bet you'll remember me no more... Empty screams To fill a new world A place I've missed Bodies are courses where maggots are turning Souls are flames that are forever burning The Scapegoat If you are trying to interpret me You're trying to put me down, you'll see The dreams I have, you do not know Don't make me the scapegoat on your stupid show ...Then I turn to you and say "I worship Lucifer" Friends turned out to be "never been friends" Liars don't listen, do not comprehend Make up great stories, I'm the principal character Hand in hand with "evil" and "sinister" ...Then I turn to you and laugh "I worship Satan" My dreams were not worth it, I was told By the people who want me to release what I hold For all of you I sing this song I you don't understand, my laughs will last long ...And I shall turn to you and say "I worship the devil" Undressed Not aware of what you've buried You feel comfotable that way You're living in a smaller world That is sometimes far too small Then you'll come to me Asking to share my world with you And maybe sometimes I do But never again for my own sake The girl opened her mouth I opened my veins The girl opened her heart I opened a door to another world I opened a door to another world I opened a door to the entirety I opened a door to the entirety Lonely in a cell I still hear the voices of the wind And rule at times great areas Greater than you'll ever know This moment leaves no time to think The past is always limited But in my dreams dwells everything And never again shall I let you in The girl opened her mouth I opened my veins The girl opened her heart I opened a door to another world I opened a door to another world I opened a door to the entirety I opened a door to the entirety Lyrics in plain text format
