The Poet and the Pendulum |
| The end |
| The songwriter’s dead |
| The blade fell upon him |
| Taking him to the white lands |
| Of empathica |
| Of innocence |
| Empathica |
| Innocence |
| The dreamer and the wine |
| Poet without a rhyme |
| A widow writer torn apart by chains of Hell |
| One last perfect verse |
| It’s still the same old song |
| Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become |
| Take me home |
| Get away, run away, fly away |
| Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway |
| I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more |
| I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world |
| Forgive me |
| I have but two faces |
| One for the world |
| One for God |
| Save me |
| I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more |
| I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world |
| My home was there and then, those meadows of heaven |
| Adventure-filled days |
| One with every smiling face |
| Please, no more words |
| Thoughts from a severed head |
| No more praise |
| Tell me once my heart goes right |
| Take me home |
| Get away, run away, fly away |
| Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway |
| I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more |
| I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world |
| Forgive me |
| I have but two faces |
| One for the world |
| One for God |
| Save me |
| I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more |
| I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world, a whore for this cold world, |
| a whore for this cold world |
| Sparkle my scenery |
| With Turquoise waterfall |
| With beauty underneath |
| The ever free |
| Tuck me in beneath the blue |
| Beneath the Pain |
| Beneath the rain |
| Goodnight kiss for a child in time |
| Swaying blade my lullaby |
| On the shore we sat and hoped |
| Under the same pale moon |
| Whose guiding light chose you |
| Chose you all |
| «I'm afraid, I’m so afraid |
| Being raped, again and again, and again |
| I know I will die alone |
| But loved |
| You live long enough to hear the sounds of guns |
| Long enough to find yourself screaming every night |
| Live long enough to see your friends betray you |
| For years I’ve been strapped unto this altar |
| Now I only have three minutes and counting |
| I just wish the tide would catch me first and give me |
| A death I always longed for." |
| 2nd robber to the right of Christ |
| Cut in half — infanticide |
| The world will rejoice today |
| As the crows feast on the rotting poet |
| Everyone must bury their own |
| No pack to bury the heart of stone |
| Now he`s home in hell, serves him well |
| Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell |
| The morning dawned upon his altar |
| Remains of the dark passion play |
| Performed by his friends without shame |
| Spitting on his grave as they came |
| Get away, run away, fly away |
| Lead me astray to dreamer’s hideaway |
| I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more |
| I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world |
| Forgive me |
| I have but two faces |
| One for the world |
| One for God |
| Save me |
| I cannot cry cause the shoulder cries more |
| I cannot die, I, a whore for this cold world, a whore for this cold world, |
| a whore for this cold world |
| «Today, in the year of our Lord, 2005 |
| Tuomas was called from the cares of the world |
| He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day |
| The music he wrote had too long been without silence |
| He was found naked and dead |
| With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text.» |
| Save me |
| Be still, my son |
| You`re home |
| Oh when did you become so cold? |
| The blade will keep on descending |
| All you need is to feel my love |
| Search for beauty, find your shore |
| Try to save them all, bleed no more |
| You have such oceans within |
| In the end, I will always love you |
| The beginning |
