Beyond Dawn
In Reverie
1. Need
No need to feel
No need to be
No need to be down here in this corporal sea
No need to comprehend
Adapt or pretend
No envy nor distrust
In the end - lust
This is sex without touching
This is love without speech
This is where the angels in exile
Like you and I, meet
Give it up and give in
This is love, this is sin
Give it up and give in
This is love, this is sin
This is love and I'm infected
You're the drug that I've had injected
Give it up and give in
This is love, this is sin
Give it up and give in
This is love, this is sin
2. Rendezvous
Like a rendezvous with a long lost friend
Who had finally shown his face again
Warmly, it welcomed the rest
When its last faint grasp at life
Had resounded in a peaceful sigh
Its eyes had been gone for hours
Not granting them any goodbyes
Its eyes - not granting them any goodbyes
Like a rendezvous with a long gone friend
Whom it finally caught up with again
It had no sympathy for their pain
Its eyes had been gone for hours
Not granting them any goodbyes
Its eyes - not granting them any goodbyes
3. Prey
My apathy knows no end
One touch makes a world of difference
Don't start a flood
Ever so fragile - I'm deeply touched
Envision my void
Figure the searing emptiness
Rascals rage with innocence
Ever so focused - I'm deeply touched
The corrupted smiles
The laughing lies
The embryo of hatred so sweet
Captured deep beneath
Ever so humorous - I'm deeply touched
4. Atmosphere
Walk in silence
Don't turn away in silence
See the danger
Always danger
Endless talking
Life rebuilding
Don't walk away
Walk in silence
Don't turn away in silence
Your confusion
My illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate
Confronts and then drops
Don't walk away
People like you find it easy
Aching to see
Walking on air
Hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner
Abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
Don't walk away in silence
Don't walk away in silence
5. Confident As Hell
Honoured crowd
Excellent taste
Will sleeping beside you allow me to rest
Upon the surface of my disgrace
I'm completely closed to all kinds of suggestions
But I dream of you asking me questions
Yes, I would like to die
Should I have other wishes
I should kill all the friends
I answer with honest kisses
Thank you for not speaking
Loud and clearly to me
Thanks for not fooling around with your eyes
Not reminding me
How I will turn insane
How possible it will be
I'll starve on the ground
I'll drown in the sea
I'm dying, my friends
As confident as hell
I'm dying, my friends
As confident as hell
Yes, I should change
If I could, I would change
Into a charming, youthful disaster
I'd force my needful body upon you
And blind our thoughs with laughter
I saw you below me
In a dream or a movie
Embracing my face with your hands
Talking, clever, about love
And how much courage that demands
Yeah
6. Naked (How To Produce Honesty)
I saw you naked a December morning
The earth was trembling and the stars were falling
Tall, slim and slender, you slunk towards me
A sight for the whole world but me to see
The flames that once consumed me are dying
As you said "I love you", I knew you were lying
Under the cross a beggar is lying
Barefoot on the ground and he is crying
"Flee from me God, you're no longer with me
Release me from my role as one convicted"
The flames that once consumed me are dying
As you said you loved me, I knew you were lying
In the field, the peasant is kneeling
Hands and feet on the ground and he is screaming
"I've worked this soil yet it's betrayed me
That's the price I pay for loyalty"
The flames that once consumed me are dying
As I said "I love you" I knew I was lying
