Cathedral The Guessing Game 1. Immaculate Misconception [Instrumental] 2. Funeral Of Dreams [Jennings / Dorrian] As I walked through fields of innocence My dreams were distorted with no defense Earth's creatures beside me, what a joy to be Bright flowers, gay sunshine, sweet destiny Then one day scarecrow greeted me My mind began to see truths unfolding So I built - a house up in a tree To view reality and began observing From there I saw an abattoir for minds A system of lies man is enslaved in Murdered thoughts, human machinery In life's factory keep the wheels turning Now that the sun sets upon this magic land My eyes are wide open to the ill fate of man They put me in a place to educate Instead my mind was raped, not yet turned eight Stories of crucifixion and moral codes to live life by Force-fed lies, defiled, brainwashed and blind Then a priest with fire in his eyes Warned me of my demise if I stopped believing He said young man you'll burn in hell you see Christ is your sanctuary, so just be subservant Stand up and fight, defend your country Kiss feet of the elite and you shall inherit Your wealth up in the sky but first you have to die And live in poverty - keep the wheels turning Now that the sun sets upon this fated land My eyes are wide open to the ill deeds of man Where is this place, I once wondered free? A funeral of dreams became reality Grey concrete, human cage - society Joys butchered, blind envy, bleak destiny Killing yourself to get by in this murdered world Words, music on black plastic; the truth! Black towers over you and me authority Destroy your will to be if you let them own you Reclaim your mind, view life through your own eyes You soon may realise your own true meaning Fuck their wars, religious lies and laws Guilt trips you're not the cause, don't just accept them A life of misery they want for you and me Just drink and be merry - stop the wheels turning Now that the sun sets upon this magic land My eyes are wide open to the ill fate of man 3. Painting In The Dark [Jennings / Dorrian] City streets are filled with crime, politician's laugh and dine Pubic stare of murdered eyes, living statues, souls have died Concrete cancer setting in, another war about to begin In freedom's coffin life rotting, release me from this social din Mythic places only I can see Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark Spiral staircase in my mind after midnight sense climb Building castles in the sky, gateways to another life Stallions of destiny take me to celestial seas Aphrodite waits for me, we swim into eternity Epic places only I can see Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark Wealth of minds in poverty, dying world, what's left for me? Outcast of reality, close my eyes so I can be In mythic places only I can see No murdered faces of reality Painting pictures in the dark of a place less stark 4. Death Of An Anarchist [Jennings / Dorrian] I wear a mask, oh yes I do, it may seem harsh but it hides the truth See I am pained by what I see in this life this reality The word love people say with shame but in this heart there's a burning flame I take a look at society, a misfit, I guess that's me Can't take this blind hatred From myself escaping Awake again I face the truth Sober now with all the proof We're burned in reality, Dying to live but cannot feel Emptiness of this world is real All trust in mankind envy steals Win or lose, in death I choose to live this life by my own rules They steal faith in your fellow man, led to believe he has a plan Subservant in invisible chains we live our lives as the system slaves I only wish that you could see there is no God just you and me I got out there to get here My way of thinking is just too cleat I'll live again with my disguise Camouflaged in life of lies A mirrored wall in front of me I'm a vampire cos I can't see The jester that guides my destiny Is the same one I refuse to be Why can't I see, I am not me? When will you see, you can be free? 5. The Guessing Game [Instrumental] 6. Edwige's Eyes [Jennings / Dorrian] My mind is a locked room and she has the key Five dolls for an August moon, on this island I await my doom Seeing through cat's eyes everything's black Colours of darkness peer through the cracks Escaping from death row, is easier I know Edwige's eyes cast a spell on me Edwige's eyes queen of Giallo movies Black spider prophecy she cast her spell on me Demons of the dead run riot in my head Pleasure and torment all in one place Desire covered in blood and black lace Investigate this crime release me from death's chime Edwige's eyes cast a spell on me Edwige's eyes queen of Giallo movies Escaping from death row, yes it's easier and I know The demons of the dead run a riot, they're in my head Seeing through cat's eyes everything's black Colours of darkness peer through the cracks Release me from death's chime, investigate this crime Edwige's eyes cast a spell on me Edwige's eyes queen of Giallo movies 7. Cats, Incense, Candles & Wine [Jennings / Dorrian] Stillness of the darkest night Flickering candle burning bright Smoking incense elevates The senses from life's worldly weight Aroma's drift from heaven's leaves Guiding thoughts across astral seas A purring cat sits next to me To share this oh so wondrous eve Flickering candles, midnight sky Feline presence senses high Deep red wine of natures vine Stimulates thy tortured mind Away from violence here I find A sanctuary of peace sublime A full moon glows above the sea It's shimmering light of mystery A cosmic wilderness to see Beyond the stars I yearn to be Midday Sun, violence breeds Wealth competition, mankind's disease I get up in the morning to face another day A world obsessed with money, I gotta get away So tired of people fighting everywhere I go Too many faces frowning for no reason they know, no As twilight comes the evening sets majestically At one with the cosmos my thought wander free Physical prison, chains of time, In life's gallery of order signs Restricted curfews of the mind, Switch it off leave them all behind 8. One Dimensional People [Instrumental] 9. The Casket Chasers [Jennings / Dorrian] Question marks of life, answers we must find Where did we come from, where do we go Rats are running faster racing against time Desperate to get past his life and be with God divine Take your time - oh yeah - take your time Casket chasers Told what to believe, eyes cannot see Obsessed with afterlife, I'll live this one first Christ Rats are running faster racing against time Desperate to get past this life and be with God divine Take your time - oh yeah - take your time Casket chasers Soon we'll face cold ground, no longer be around Until worms must feast, just let me live in peace Rats keep running faster racing against time Desperate to get past this life and be with God divine Take your time - oh yeah - take your time Casket chasers 10. La Noche Del Buque Maldito (Aka Ghost Ship Of The Blind Dead) [Jennings / Dorrian / Smee] Ghost Galleon on a spectral sea Shipwreck of lost centuries Crypts of Knights Templar awakened sleep Young beauty meets a terminal destiny Ghost ship - of the blind dead Brute sacrifice and ancient blasphemy Through drug ritual we dominate mortality Here with our treasures on young flesh we feed In foggy, murky waters, no one hears your screams Ghost ship - of the blind dead Blood sacrifice on our shipwreck Young beauty slayed upon the deck In our Sarcophagus far out at sea Yes we have slept for centuries Red lights in the horned skull's eyes Signal ships imminent demise From rotten coffins we rise out from the sea Invade your shores on humanity we feast Ghost ship - of the blind dead 11. The Running Man [Dorrian] Black wings wrapped around the sun Darkness guides your marathon Icy people everywhere Cold love and cold thoughts they share Live your life in a coffin How much death can you cram in Greedy man is wealth hungry Orgasms at other's misery A brand new watch to tell the time See the hours passing by Your castle is your golden dream Living a lie with your bought queen Possessions own your shallow mind Plastic goods you'll leave behind Humoured by your garden gnomes Soon you'll rest beneath their thrones 12. Requiem For The Voiceless [Jennnings / Dorrian] They've caged me here in this circus hell That human audience I know so well Thrash my bones so the act may please Your jeers and laughter too loud to hear my pleas Set me free humanity My eyes bleached out I cannot see You wear my fur for vanity Chew on my flesh then excrete me I am imprisoned in your death camp farm Until my limbs are butchered one by one Scattered random in your supermarket fridge As for my children, well they're probably in tins Set me free humanity My eyes bleached out I cannot see You wear my fur for vanity Chew on my flesh then excrete me Shoot me out of the sky Slaughter me at sea Hunt me in the fields Why not let me be? You live a life of death you ignorant fools For mistakes you make use us as your tools Inject my body with your wretched disease I cannot hate you, I have not energy Set me free humanity I have no voice, won't you please help me 13. Journey Into Jade In 1989 the idea came to be In Memoriam as recorded back in '90 We walked into the Forest Of Equilibrium Saw an Ethereal Mirror next in '93 Twenty years it's been - what does the future bring? Two years it's been of hell spent waiting is silence Until Carnival Bizarre came in '95 Supernatural Birth Machine was shaky Then the Caravan came to take us far away Twenty years it's been - what does the future bring? In twenty years time how will our music seem? We came back to reality in 2000 With Endtyme we were born again Number seven was our second coming The Garden of Delights was so unearthly Twenty years it's been - what must the future bring? In One hundred years time - how will our music seem? Today we are here playing the Guessing Game Uncertainty with what tomorrow may bring Will our vinyl be rare and collectable Will we be the in thing? Twenty years it's been - how will the present seem? In one thousand years time - what will be of mankind?
