[God]
Long I wandered through night eternal
Forged as one with the dark
Wild orchid... Serpent sunrise
Damn the horns of the moon
Fierce your eyes open grave incisions
Pale and strange in your face
Tempting torture, rape desire
Dreams are born in this place
Rise you're mine, be free
A vision of my black deeds
Your taste, embrace, that which remains unseen
[Lilith]
By the tigris, by euphrates
By the lives that we've known
Frightened boy child, kill what you love
Spirits war in your soul
Fierce your mind opens, stranger prisons
Fear and lust rule your face
[God]
Fortune's fire, rape desire
[Lilith]
Dreams are torn in this place
[God]
Rise to know your place
Forever on your knees
Your face erase 'til nothing remains
[God & Lilith]
Run from my arms, don't run from my arms
[God]
Sleep and forget you were born
[Lilith]
Fear not my face or my savage grace
All become numb with the dawn
Don't try to hide from my savage heart
[God & Lilith]
How to unlearn all the things we have learned
Mind searing thoughts cold are our hearts
[Lilith]
How to unlearn all the things I have learned... Yea!
[Lilith]
To wear the crown of whore
Or touch eternity's stare
Love is cold it tastes of hell
Beseeching me there
I am waiting
I am waiting here (for another year)
Slaving like the shrouds of tears
Waiting for all who've lost their way, you'll see them now
You'll see their mounds
All their tears are burning down
Silver fortune awaits
I am fallen like the crowd's own fear (and the first formed tear)
Callin' a thousand worlds draw near
Silent when all is scarred love awakes
[God & Lilith]
Enter the realm above
[Lilith]
Wild-born I'll teach you the secrets of wisdom
[God]
To order the night, a prison above
[Lilith]
Behold the secrets of the earth
For this is not life
And this is not death
These are things we made unseemly
[God]
And this black fortune's debt, to never return again, never!
[God]
Long I wandered through nights eternal
Forged as one with the dark
Rising up through serpent sunrise
I can't see where we are
Fierce your eyes open paler prisons
Blood looks strange in our face
Tempting torture, rape desire
[God & Lilith]
Dreams are torn in this waste
[God]
Rise to know your place
Forever on your knees
[Lilith]
I recall every flame vow
[God & Lilith]
Run from my arms, don't run from my arms
Sleep and forget you were born
[Lilith]
Rise babylon, break from your God
All become one with the dawn
Don't try to lie
To my tragic heart
How to unlearn all the things I have learned
Raise babylon safe from your God!
[God & Lilith]
How to unlearn all the things we don't know!!!
Oh, will we never learn?
