Bad Ways
03:36

Sometimes it’s not enough to simply turn the key
And let the demons break out of the pit
Sometimes we have to try new strategy
New means to fill old needs
We change the numbers, we correct the formulas
We set new targets and hit them hard
We steer the evolution of our squalor and lust
And rip all doubts apart
LET’S FALL INTO BAD WAYS
I KNOW YOU LIKE TO BE BAD
LET’S FALL INTO BAD WAYS
DO ALL YOU WANT AND NEVER REGRET
Sometimes it’s good enough to let your bats break free
To strike a pose and just stand in the breach
Drink from the Morning Star, eat from the apple tree
Scream like the devil’s a bitch
We squeeze the pleasure out of the energy source
Perfecting our technology of moral decay
We stretch the gap in the tissue of our universe
To get as deep as we can
Try out the other games
Take measures
Good people feel shame
Bad people feel pleasure

Mimesis
03:09
|

The candle flame bends
When a shameless wind crawls out of the air vent coming to spy
To watch some people in a dimmirror
Do the bad things trying to get away with a crime
Cold blueness of the city lights
Is getting out of the way
Of warm reflections on our heated shoulders and thighs
There’s no one here to blame
UNSEEN
WE GIVE UP MIMESIS
BECOMING ALL THAT YOU DESPISE
UNHEARD
SAFE FROM A PRYING WORLD
WE DROP OUR OLD DISGUISE
The diode ghosts in a wine glass
We can see the color of our eyes
Change: cyan, white, red, purple, green, magenta, yellow
Yellow... It’s the pale glow of street lamps crossfades into sunrise
Weak morning shadows try to hide in tight dark holes between the closely spaced walls
Let’s have some coffee and cakes
Then put on that plastic face
Outside
We’re sliding off the screen
Tonight
We shed our sheep skin

Laugh, Bleed and Dance
04:16
|

The night has finally come
Making us who we really are
Blind shadows creep up our bodies
Counting new scars
We turn off the lights to not see the bruises
Kissing each other and tasting the blood in our mouths
Licking sweat off our skin
We refuse to surrender and moan it out loud
DON’T GIVE US ANY CHANCE
NO SHAME, NO FEAR, NO SENSE
WE LAUGH, BLEED AND DANCE!
DISTORT OUR FUTURE AND PAST
GO ON AND HIT US FULL BLAST
WE LAUGH, BLEED AND DANCE!
WE LAUGH, BLEED AND DANCE!
Three million neon flies
Crawling in from the streets
We sigh deeply and slide
Synchronizing our rhythm with the beat
Slowly we start making waves out of ripples
Beating the hell out of each other
And switching off from the zodiac of mutants and cripples
Just for a bit of a second of love

The End

Time has gone
The rest is stolen
Someone’s rising while the others are falling
One is flying in the sky
While the others keep going
Hail to the brave!
Days go by
Let you and us be fair
We like what’s happening here
You hate the changes everywhere
The ninth wave has crashed upon the shore sweeping away
All that you praise
WE SEE THE SKY IS COMING DOWN, DOWN, DO-O-OWN
BUT WE’RE AMONG THOSE BOYS AND GIRLS WHO LIKE WHAT’S GOING ON
YOU TRY TO FIGHT BUT CANNOT STOP THIS WORLD FROM SPINNING AROUND
THIS IS THE END
Free of guilt
We’re tired of feeling ashamed
A vice and a virtue
God or bad
To us it sounds all the same
You built this place for yourselves and make us play your game
Long live the damned!
The planet dies
The oceans rise
We raise our glass to make a toast in front of falling satellites
If you rely upon your laws, you’re gonna be surprised
Say it again...
This is the end
