A dominant fascination

That constantly sets you apart

Condemns you to isolation

And crushes your fractured heart. 

An orphan of morality, 

Animality with no purpose

Restraining its bestiality 

To never reach the surface. 

Chorus

My love, inverted moral 

Is not sufficient reason 

No reason enough, no treason enough

To inherit your nihilism. 

My love, corrupt, fixed and perverse, 

For you I will break all the laws,

extortionate life itself

And exile into nothingness. 

Detached from reality

Evoking you I wanna be. 

Love turns reason into insanity 

And revokes any philosophy. 

Chorus

Bridge

Give me a vector of space and time. 

I will transcend what’s understood.

Tell me you’re there, that’s you’re my kind

And I will demolish the truth. 

God will raise up for you 
A prophet like me from your brothers. 
He’s among you, I implore you, 
He’s in the womb of all mothers. 

I know the plans I have for you. 
Plans for good and not for evil. 
A prophet I appointed you 
to all the nations and their people. 

Chorus
A prophet is not without honor
Except in his own hometown, 
Except in his own household. 
They will not believe his conjures, 
They will try to bring him down, 
They will try to have him sold. 

And the prophet, he shall come. 
Is he already among us? 
But in disbelief we ignore some
Who spread the word of oneness. 

Chorus

Bridge

Am I trying to please God or man? 
I see the sufferings of this time. 
If I reveal the future glory 
I will be prophet in this territory.

I see you all through the tainted glass.

A surreal community.

You can’t escape, you can’t trespass,

you’re a victim of their scrutiny.

Such division of ideas,

you kling to the testament

that still treasures your ideals.

No abuse, no punishment.

Just solitary penance,

a purgatory where to rest,

where to conspire vengeance

and put mercy to the test.

True religion is forgiveness.

We’re just sinners, God forgive us.

True religion won’t ostracise,

see the mercy in His eyes.

True religion is true God

all powerful, almighty.

He won’t deceive, he won’t defraud.

He’s eternally inside me.

Look at me through the stained glass.

Join my hands in prayer, it shall pass.

You and me, we both are victims,

we’re not devoted, we’re addicted.

I will only kneel to God,

not to the masses.

Your true God you disregard

as you worship your stained glasses.

You’re eroding the foundations

Of reality, God’s truth. 

You created a new nation

With the souls that you seduced. 

No escape from the suffering

Even though you promised none. 

You receive the moral offering

Of my righteousness undone. 

Pre-chorus

It’s honour over passion,

Purity over lust.

But virtue is love’s assassin

And virtue is above it all. 

Chorus

Exhausted from the crawling

Through the values you erode.

Love is still there, love is calling

With you I still fall in love. 

(3rd verse)

No matter how pure my love

It’s chastity you require.

Of my passion you’re above. 

And you repel my desire. 

I was a god, more than a god.

Now you condemn me like a fraud. 

You were the queen, you showed your wrath, 

And I sunk in your bloodbath. 

All the sins you made me promise.  

And I swear I have been honest. 

Will the sins make me your king? 

Let me know where it begins. 

Pre-chorus/chorus

We built a kingdom of joy

you then took care to destroy. 

You made it a land of sins

And of this land you made me king. 

You want to make me take sides. 

Your cruelty won’t subside. 

With danger of life and limb

you have still made me your king. 

Once upon a time you were queen. 

The cruelest queen there’s ever been. 

I was a god, more than a god. 

In your eyes I’m now a fraud. 

Bonus verse: 

You want to make me take sides. 

Don’t make me take sides. 

Walked in and out of the men’s room. 

Are those stones that I see in bloom? 

Had a second of euphoria, 

now I’m ready for the gloria. 

You’re still locked inside the cage, 

you’re still at that tender age

where friendship is still powerful, 

and justice still seems doable. 

Pre-Chorus

The disgrace is always external

but no one believes in the Eternal. 

Hard to tell who’s the real victim

when they all kneel to the system. 

Chorus

Keep knocking on the men’s room door. 

Is it them who you abhore?

They will keep on being born 

but half of them will be scorned. 

The written word is in your face, 

once out there it can’t be erased. 

You have a problem with that? 

Let us just discuss the facts. 

Bonus Verse

Why do some things remain hidden 

while brotherhood is forbidden? 

I’m waiting for it to end. 

Boy, some things you can’t amend. 

We all know it, where’s the news? 

You just can’t suppress my views. 

Make sure your own law is upheld

While I wait to be expelled. 

I’ll pretend to see your truth, 

A pretentious fad of youth. 

Pre-chorus 

You think that you’re so critical. 

Can’t even be political. 

So many things you don’t know. 

The answer’s not under the rainbow. 

Chorus

I’ll follow every rainbow

I’ll ford every stream, 

But you won’t let me find my dream. 

I’ll ride on every rainbow

Will that work for me, too? 

Will that be my final breakthrough? 

Look at what you’ve done to my world. 

I don’t recognise it anymore. 

Time for all of us to fight

the fire you got to ignite. 

Pre-chorus

Chorus 

Bonus verse 

Expell me! 

Expell me from my own world. 

Condemn me!

You think that I have no soul. 

Beauty has no power

when you deploy forgetfulness.

You watch me from your tower

standing there, defenceless.

I stand before you, tremulous.

No advantage in this conflict.

All my weapons lie there, useless.

I’m weak from the wounds you inflict.

The damage is done.

How could I forget

the bodily harm

my soul just regrets.

I give in to you.

I admit defeat.

I surrender to you.

You know I’m at your feet.

I had nothing to loose,

I had no strategy.

I know it’s no excuse

this was such a tragedy.

Inexperienced at war,

an untrained soldier.

You’d be merciful, you swore,

but you were so much bolder.

That on your head is not a crown.

Look in the mirror, you’re a clown.

The pantomime serves your purpose.

You might as well join the circus.

Get ready, you’re the performer.

The costume will be your armour.

Get on stage, you’re the acrobat.

How can somebody move like that?

Move to the left, move to the right,

It’s the eyesight you delight.

You move like pain, like fire,

you excite, provoke, desire.

In the modern state of affairs

the only survivor’s the voyeur.

I asked for an habeas Corpus

’cause you’re gone, you’ve joined the circus.

You’re the best clown in this town

you laugh and laugh till you break down.

When you’re onstage, you’re all alone

under the spotlight, but you’re gone.

I’ll remember I saw beauty.

I’ll remember I saw it only once.

Now I know it is your duty

to continue with this dance.

You never danced for me after all,

But I was always there

When you decided to shatter all

I fell into despair.
