Rain


Let it rain a day, a week, a year
Let it rain a thousand years a day
That's the divine answer to all the shed tears
That's the cyclic Flood well known by those who know
One drop for every broken dream
and one for every conceived plan
Our seeds sown larger
Our roots will go deeper
Our trees will grow higher and now we wait the rain
Let cry the skies to cleanse the souls
Let fall the seas to wash the pain away
That's the final run to the New Age
That's the first step beyond the threshold of this world
One drop for every broken dream
and one for every conceived plan
Our seeds sown larger
Our roots will go deeper
Our trees will grow higher and now we call the rain
Here rings a warning
A day of wrath for all the days of war
A storm of fury
to calm the hunger left
Our seeds sown larger
Our roots will go deeper
Our trees will grow higher and now we bring the rain
Our seeds - larger
Our roots - deeper
Our trees - higher and we - stronger

Shining Kingdom


I took a long trip
and now back again
to the point where I began
and everything I left behind
followed me, preceded me
Souvenirs are patient, they only know
the lassitude they provide
Feeding the void with emptiness
it took me time to understand
It was always here, deep inside
always there, far away
the shining kingdom
I took a long trip to leave myself
to search for another me elsewhere
I haven't found anything
I just forgot what I was looking for
I did forget what I was looking for
I've been lost
Feeding the void with emptiness
it took me time to understand
It was always here, deep inside
always there, far away
the shining kingdom

Angel's Decay


You know my friend
I've been walking on a really strange path lately
I'm so glad you were not there
to see my fall, to see me passing on
My wound so deep
my veins opened wide
letting flow my distress
letting flow my requests
Listen my friend
as no one wanted to hear I'm telling you now
So weak was my hope
so cold the world around
so strong the calls
my pain invited echoes to my pain
Anguish
coiled in the gut like a starving worm
Fallen, between...
I slide down the hole at the center of my soul
I've given up, I've given up, larvae rots
for I let the angel rise...

My Saviour


So small in my greatness
I am the one who never wanted to be
So great in my smallness
I am the one who knows he is not
Around and inside
I am everywhere
ruling my mind
I am made of power
started down below but now
going higher and higher and higher
from one to ten
'cause ten is one and...
One thousand million hearts beating under my skin
I'm the word which means every word
I'm the truth hidden behind every lie
started down below but now
going higher and higher and higher
I'm the beginning, I'm the end
I am the Alpha, I am the Omega
One thousand million hearts beating under my skin
I'm the sword which leads every sword
I'm the path which contains every path
I'm Immortal, I'm Glorious
I'm Supreme, I'm My Saviour
My Saviour...

Jupiterian Vibe


Move with the storm, with the wind, with the flood
get down, rise up, hold on to the vibe
Move to the left, to the right, attraction, rejection
the floor we dance on is the firmament of our eyes
Creation transcends creator
Yes is the word to everything
to pain, to torture, to war and destruction
Yes is the word to everything
to liberty, to sweetness, to peace and construction
Choose, make up your mind before after is no more
time stops while another time is coming
the same leads back to the same
"Present is the time including all times
each second is eternity as eternity is now
and now is forever..."
Yes is the word to everything
to liberty, to sweetness, to peace and construction
Move with the stars, with the wave and with us
dance to the thunder beats, feel it all around
Jupiterian vibe
Move with the storm, with the wind, with the flood
Move with the stars, with the wave and with us

The Ones Who Came Before


Through ages, through history
through civilizations, through societies
taking man as a house
We've traveled a long long way to be here now
Back then, we left our virtual land
to come down on the electric field of chosen human minds
where we unite for the best or the worst
We're the ones who came before
and the One you kneel before
for we're those who are no more
We cannot be understood
as we are understanding
Guided by the wind, we come to your place
reading your wishes and hidden desires
dressing your dreams of colors and sounds
beware of yourself, 'cause you'll get what you want
We're the ones who came before
and the One you kneel before
for we're those who are no more
Liquid Soul Dimension
Far from my kingdom
golden dreams, tranquil peace
Far from me, pornographic smiles
Far is your world
lost in a sea of nothingness
a passed Utopia, a banished lie
Land, of infinite spaces
Suns, of interior lights
Dances of the absurd and the real

Liquid Soul Dimension


The Force is around and the Force is inside
I swallow the light and the light swallows me
I don't exist anymore but I feel as I am
but I feel as I am...
Far into the inner universe
Detached, free and submissive
From up on my throne
I command, I obey

Moonskin


(En)chained to a shadow of the past
he walks the path of life
following the same quest, like a
ghost silly lover, silly romance, how pathetic!
Constant, permanent disenchantment
She will be called Moonskin
and she will have the beauty of the marble
hair dancing like flames
around her snow-white shape
(En)chained to the Venus spell
he left the reason behind
defiling the garden
forcing the passage
going to the bottom
to steal the end
to shake death's hand
Once again illusion fades away, once again he's falling
as the milky stream of life goes dying
She was called Moonskin
now she's no more
but a round bright sphere
in his night
floating in a timeless place
(En)chained to a shadow of the past
he walks the path of life
carrying that old story like a cross
on which he will, on which he may
nail another star...

Born Under Saturn


Here or there, above or below
it's always the same force which prevails
One must be unreal and surreal
to rise above the fear of isolation
one must accept exclusion
becoming stronger to face fate
Day after day
stone after stone
from disillusion to disillusion
defeat to defeat
escaping death for another death
I've built a temple within myself
where on my knees I wait the day
Born under Saturn
déchirer les cieux
Born under Saturn
sur terre rappeler Dieu
There is but a little time and the road is still long
become who you are, deny who you know...
Day after day
stone after stone
from disillusion to disillusion
defeat to defeat
escaping death for another death
I've built a temple within myself
where on my knees I wait the day
Born under Saturn
déchirer les cieux
Born under Saturn
sur terre rappeler Dieu

Chosen Race


Fall black shroud, veil of ignorance
it is a new light we desire
Fall gods of man, worn masks
that our new empire may at last rise up
Fight the fear of freedom, you cannot lose
Fragile are the steps, sharp is the rise
Courage! Our time has come
Courage! The time is now
Souls of steel no-one owns us
Murderers of oppression
Chosen race...
...just choose to be chosen
Father!
Give us today what is needed
give it all
Father!
Thy will be done on earth
and in the skies
For ours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever...

A Man In Your Head


Wake up! They try to steal the man in your head
make you kneel in front of icons
They took the place which wasn't theirs
enslave you with a power they don't have
don't need to be guided
their lambs become rams
tell them the universe hides inside us all
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer...
is it what you got
or is it what they made
holy war for holy fools
blessed are those who break the rules
Men drink the scum of rage
at the lips of warrior priests
what happened, happened again
as no one gets; you cannot win
if someone lost
Streams of blood drown soldiers' hate
but mothers' tears call sons' revenge
Stay away from the sectarian and gregarious
if you want to keep the precious gift we share
be right to yourself, be your own judge
and know, non-resolved things
generate themselves over and over...
