Pyogenesis
A Kingdom to Disappear
1. Sleep Is Good (Intro)
Sleep is good, death is better, it's true,
The best of all was never to be born at all
2. Every Man For Himself...And God Against All
"...Nothing lives less in me than my life"
[Kaspar Hauser, 1812-1833]
16 years imprisonment
16 years no talk
16 years of darkness
While I didn't breathe a word
I'll be missing tonight, but no one will miss me
I have not grown lonely but I've always been
I'll be gone for this time while each one is dancing
I have not grown lonely but I've always been
Now that I'm set loose - My breathing seems diffuse
I shall overcome this life - Overcome this abuse
I'll be missing tonight, but no one will miss me
I have not grown lonely but I've always been
I'll be gone for this time while each one is dancing
I have not grown lonely but I've always been
Every man for himself and god against all,
A crime against a man's soul
I'll be missing tonight, but no one will miss me
I have not grown lonely but I've always been
I'll be gone for this time while each one is dancing
I have not grown lonely but I've always been
3. I Have Seen My Soul
"...Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." - Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900
People die of common sense, Dorian.
One lost moment at a time.
There's no hereafter.
So make it burn with the hardest flame.
Am I to fade?
Am I to share this fate?
I have seen my soul!
It's rotten, black as coal!
For all I see is decay.
Take a look, take a look
At the picture of Dorian Gray!
How sad it is. I shall grow old!
If it only were I who's to be always young
And the picture grows old.
For that I would give everything
I would give my soul for that.
I can assure you,
Pleasure is very different from happiness.
I have seen my soul!
It's rotten, black as coal!
For all I see is decay.
Take a look, take a look
At the picture of Dorian Gray!
4. A Kingdom To Disappear
"...Poland is not yet lost!"
[Polish National Anthem]
Can you feel the unmight of my reign?
How can I counter when everything's in vain!
But oh, people have no fear
In a kingdom to disappear!
And it is too late, and it is too late
And it is to late
And it is too late, and it is too late
And it is to late
Cut by the fat profligate,
The emperor and Catherine the Great,
Vanished from the face of the Earth
For 123 years.
But oh, people have no fear
In a kingdom to disappear!
And it is too late, and it is too late
And it is to late
And it is too late, and it is too late
And it is to late
5. New Helvetia
"...Can a heart be of gold if it rusts?"
As I reached a blind alley
I had no where else to go
But to Central Valley
To exploit and make it grow
So I did and I reaped fruit of my hands work
The wealth I enriched
Turned daylight into murk
I have faith and love you
Was the last I heard
When I set my sails
And embarked upon a new world
I will name it New Helvetia
Where I'll lose it all
So what,
True hope knows no equal
And I'll lose it all
Gold, no way to conceal
As wanderers pour out
Convoys of officials
Gather to set about
Can a heart be of gold if it rusts?
It can't here I'm with you,
And so much for my trust!
I have faith and love you
Was the last I heard
When I set my sails
And embarked upon a new world
I will name it New Helvetia
Where I'll lose it all
So what,
True hope knows no equal
And I'll lose it all
6. That's When Everybody Gets Hurt
I am dying alone while you were with me at home
For us, woe come life, come death
Halting, you take your last breath
It's over, my friend
That's when everybody gets hurt
In this moment, again.
It's over, my friend
That's when everybody gets hurt
We have chosen the end
None foreshadowed the end
No one to seek revenge
No matter what people throw
But the two of us only know
It's over, my friend
That's when everybody gets hurt
In this moment, again.
It's over, my friend
That's when everybody gets hurt
We have chosen the end
7. We (1848)
"...The passing bells were tolling for an everybody's soul."
1848 the people addressed it to the king
"...End the serious, imperious
Regency that's fearing us"
Thus the passing bells
Were tolling
For an everybody's soul
254 - Can't take no more
But 40,000 stood brave for
This fail, tonight
We were all at liberty
To bail for rights
We were brave
While bombard's burst was hailing skies
We were always young,
We were the youth!
We had no choice, this time!
From the Baltic Sea
To the Black Forest
One could hear
From Pomerania to the Alps
For the very first time in German history
People had a vote on whom
To represent them (and the) right to build
A national assembly at their will
This fail, tonight
We were all at liberty
To bail for rights
We were brave
While bombard's burst was hailing skies
We were always young,
We were the youth!
We had no choice, this time!
"...The great question of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions...but by iron and blood."
[Otto Von Bismarck, 1815-1898]
8. Blaze, My Northern Flame
"...Justice is to be found only in imagination."
[Alfred Nobel, 1833-1896]
It's blocked
The way
Let's not
Wait for...and until decay
Corrupt and corrode
Live in mortal fear
A torturous ode
All end is near
Blaze, my northern flame, for me
Burn away, burn away
Set afire the entire world
A human's thought got the Devil's tool
A life
A way
Approach
Abyss of a soul's decay
Corrupt and corrode
Live in mortal fear
A torturous ode
All end is near
Blaze, my northern flame, for me
Burn away, burn away
Set afire the entire world
A human's thought got the Devil's tool
9. Everlasting Pain
First there was this lie, second we defied
Third I had to go, beg for help, well I don't know
Fourth I had to stay, not when you were here
When I got your death notice, my breath
Would turn to ice!
And so my heart bursts at the seam but never dies
Can never feel the same, can every little flame
Just hold its breath and set afire the rain
Hold you by my side
The tears that I have cried
Are an everlasting pain
Never felt so blue, never felt so sad,
Never felt so lone, since I am on my own
Never felt so weak, not since you were here
I can't stand this pain, can't stand this life
Can't stand myself
And so I repeat these words for the world to know
Can never feel the same, can every little flame
Just hold its breath and set afire the rain
Hold you by my side
The tears that I have cried
Are an everlasting pain
A silent soul screams loud
Since there's no hope to sprout
My heart will bleed until the sun burns out
I'm left to be alone
I'm sentenced to atone
And all I wish is just to have you home
Can never feel the same, can every little flame
Just hold its breath and set afire the rain
Hold you by my side
The tears that I have cried
Are an everlasting pain
