Norma Loy: 1964 Shadows

When the nightlocks up the light
And that I stay here laid up in the darkness
I become heavy
I get benumbed
Staring at the curtains
Staring at curtains
There is time to wait - Time to be sick
Staring at the curtains
Staring at the curtains
Staring at the curtains

Ho yes I cry Darling - Yes I cry
But the men aren't deads my darling
Ho yes I cry Darling - Yes I cry
Without to know that the deads aren't men
Staring at the curtains

Then they come in silence
Begot by glasses
Begot by the web
Some of them clinging at the ceiling
Some of them going through the walls
& some of them floatting
No meaning to those things

Oh they come all over me
Oh they swing all over me
God why is it so cold while they keep silence ?
& why am I so far from the room & why am I so far from the gloom ?
They are black over black and belong to the night
Shadows of the night
Shadows of the night

Ho yes I cry Darling - Yes I cry
But the men aren't deads my Darling
Yes I cry
Ho yes I cry Darling - Yes I cry
Without to know that the deads aren't men
Staring at the curtains...

 
 
 
 
 

Skinny Puppy: Assimilate

Oil remove shred and tear
Radiation vapor
It's the fear so unclear
Man in motion going nowhere
In our homes stuck in the face
Spread the word to the populace
Yellow journal yellow journal
Set the pace feel the rage
Manifestations of a sort
So insidious off the point
Simple solution never confusion
Sport a gun kill a cop
Crazy world of weary thought
So receive me had enough
Lock me up lock me up

Rot and assimilate
So hot to annihilate

Rot and assimilate
So hot to annihilate

Deviation tonic mess
Prolonged existence innocence
Is he who speaks isn't weak
Wheelchair virtue so to speak
Bubonic plague the truth of aids
Immunity avoid decay
In the trench of pestilence
The bible screams announce your faith
Mutterings of death to bring
Suffocate a newborn thing
Degradation of an age
Venereal it's all sensation
Protect design the moral plan
Infallible as propaganda
Completely black
With no steps back

Hot to assimilate
We'll rot or annihilate

Hot to assimilate
We'll rot or annihilate

Mutterings of death to bring
Suffocate a newborn thing
Degradation of an age
Venereal it's all sensation
Protect design the moral plan
Infallible as propaganda
Completely black
With no steps back
Agony profusely stains
The inner thinking
Of the brain
Accusations clanking chains
Experiments with the groans of pain
All prefer no one blames
The terror in an animal's screams
In cages our future - the answers insane

Rot and assimilate
So hot to annihilate

Rot and assimilate
So hot to annihilate

 
 
 
 
 

Mittageisen: Automaten

Abend - Unrast auf den Strassen
Heute gab es viel zu tun
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Im Strassenlärm - die schweigende Mehrheit
Warten an der Endstation
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Vergessen - ausgewogen im Fernsehen
Unwissen breitet sich aus
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Neue Ideen verwendet ohne Gedanken
Geschichte wird weiter gemacht
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Leben - in schwierigen Zeiten
Ordnungen lösen sich auf
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Zerrissene Sätze von neuen Herren
Fremde Stimmen in meinem Ohr
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Neue Geräusche - ein Lächeln gegenüber
Erhellt die Dunkelheit
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

Küsse im Regen - keine Zeit zum Warten
Wir gehen unseren Weg
Arbeit - nur für Automaten

 
 
 
 
 

Vision Factory: Bird From Fez

Magnificent he glides in space
Waiting for the chance
To break out of his world
No one told him
That it was time to start
That it was time to flee
From loneliness

The bird from fez imprisoned
In the steltik area
Of thoughts

A flood of tears run through his beak
A remambrance of fortune
And the hope of new force
No one told him
That there was no time for dread
That there was no time to fill the emptiness

The bird from fez imprisoned
In the steltik area
Of thoughts

Tired of his existance
As a plaything of confusion
He starts his journey of no return
The bird from fez imprisoned
In all steltik areas
Of thoughts

 
 
 
 
 

Bloody Ice: Bloody Ice

Just another time for losing control
A night open ended and the thoughts in rage
Feel the tomorrow of nothing

Bloody Ice, empty skies
Bloody Ice, helpless cries in your eyes

The walls are so cold as same as the flesh
Someone is saving the life of death
Feel the tomorrow of nothing

You're walking around, sweat on your hands
The ground trickles down and the abyss ahead
Feel the tomorrow of nothing

Lost in the air, forgetting the shame
And this night open ended turns you insane
Feel the tomorrow of nothing

Bloody Ice, empty skies
Bloody Ice, anything dies in your eyes

 
 
 
 
 

Psyche: The Brain Collapses

In the morning
When I awake
The room spins round my stomach ache
That leads straight to my head
The curtains are closed
The room is cold
And there's nothing left
But my memory

Scratching the air
Another body falls to the floor
And a disfigured face
Waits at the door
As the brain collapses

And you couldn't ever call this living
When you're physically going
Through directions
Trying to avoid the obvious
Dead end
I don't want to see
The obvious dead end

 
 
 
 
 

Planning By Numbers: Catch The Beat

Hear the noise of the ricochet, feel the heart beat like a gun.
Hear the crash, see the windscreen smash, set the controls and run.

I can't wait, got to syncopate, this rhythm's got me in its grip,
It's in her eyes in her hips and thighs, it's the phrase on everyones lips.

Catch the beat! feel it growing stronger and stronger
Catch the beat! let the rhythm take you over.

Hear the noise of the soldier boys, as they're marching in four - four
See the sights, set the sky alight, leave them screaming out for more.

Hear the sound as the world turns round and the stars fall from the sky,
May be a sign in double time, would make the people cry.

Catch the beat! feel it growing stronger and stronger,
Catch the beat! let the rhythm take you over.

 
 
 
 
 

Rational Youth: City Of Night

City of night, a thousand colours
Ocean of light among the shadows
Under the stars the world seems brighter
City of night will shine forever

City of night neon like ice
Ocean of light under the stars
City of night fire in the sky
City of night city of night

City of night, a million faces
Try to avoid the darkest places
Like in a dream, the night light shimmers
City of night will shine forever

City of night, while some are sleeping
Creatures of light, on corners meeting
Under the stars the world seems brighter
City of night will shine forever

City of night neon like ice
Ocean of light city of night
Fire in the sky city of night
City of night city of night

 
 
 
 
 

Kabelbrandt: Claustrophobia

Walking in streets without any names
Feeling your body's leaving you
It's reality time won't wait for you to help

Claustrophobia, Claustrophobia
The walls are too high to escape
Lonelyness, Lonelyness

People owning faces made of stone determine the turn of day
Among these creatures you look for confidence
They are nothing but shadows of their own

Feelings are cooled down flashes in the sand
And the heat disappeared a long time ago
Lonesome the thoughts wither in emptiness

Once there was summertime
Once there was friendship
Once there was love
But today an icicle perforates your dreams

Barriers arisen from an unknown force
Start circling around your grey old eyes
And the wind roars through your hair

Figures of pain remember your brain
You've never forgot the tears you shed
Hit by a scream which never reaches the outside

While the clouds continue to gather low
Darkness crawls over your burnt soul
Red hearts fall on frozen snow

Claustrophobia, Claustrophobia
The walls were too high to escape
Lonelyness, Lonelyness

Malaise: We Are Colliders

Never sure about your feelings
No never to know
If you just wanted to be
The one behind my every day
You say you never wanted to be
Anything at all
Tell me now why are you bleeding
From the sore in your heart

I say you say we are colliders
Never to be sure
From the lights of morning
To a day of pleasure is to come
Never see anything at all of your life
Falling in between, falling in between

Now I see so clearly
Why it's not the way it used to be
You're talking about your own life
And the world you're living in
You never seem to realize
I have something to say
Tell me now how come we never tried
To reach another life

I say you say we are colliders
Never to be sure
From the lights of morning
To a day of pleasure is to come
Never see anything at all of your life
Falling in between, falling in between

In your mind there's nothing else
Than a selfish love for yourself
So I do really think you should try
To listen to the words I say
And don't you think you could try
To understand my point of view
Perhaps there's nothing more to this
Than a vague hope for me

I say you say we are colliders
Never to be sure
From the lights of morning
To a day of pleasure is to come
Never see anything at all of your life
Falling in between, falling in between

Secret Discovery: Down From Hell

I close my eyes, waiting for the light,
Trying to remember the best of my life.
I don't succeed, it all stays black.
My memories are gone and will never come back.
This dying sense, nothing can hold me back.
I walk upstairs, with a gun in my hand.

Down from hell and up from paradise.
I will send you all days a new surprise.

Down from hell and up from paradise.
I will send you all days a new surprise.

But in a little bit of time, I'll return to here,
As the son of god or as a servant of the devil.
I will take my revenge, it will be hard and cruel.
For me it's a game, but I don't play by a rule.
I will bring disaster, death and pain.
I'll destroy your houses, with burning rain.
There's nothing you can do to avert my wrath,
Because my surprise will be blessed by the death.

Down from hell and up from paradise.
I will send you all days a new surprise.

Down from hell and up from paradise.
I will send you all days a new surprise.

Down from hell and up from paradise.
I will send you all days a new surprise.

Down from hell and up from paradise.
I will send you all days a new surprise.

 
 
 
 
 

Kabelbrandt: Endsieg

Vor gar nicht allzu langer Zeit
Da war die Jugend zum Kämpfen bereit
Sie schafften es, sich schnell zu vermehren
Und ließen sich eine Glatze scheren
Die Grundidee war schnell erdacht
Die Türken werden fertiggemacht
Am Anfang machte es Dir noch Spaß
Doch schon bald lachte der blanke Haß

Auch Du wolltest den totalen Krieg
Auch Du glaubtest noch an den Sieg
Du wolltest etwas neues entdecken
Nun siehst Du, wie Deine Freunde verrecken

Man lud Dich ein zu einer Fete
Von Freundschaft war hier schnell die Rede
Von Umkehr und Zusammenhalt
Wenn's nötig sein muß mit Gewalt
Schon bald hat er Dich verführt
Ein neuer Mann, der Dich regiert
Er hat erklärt, daß ihr es seid
Daß deutsche Jugend Deutschland befreit

Ein neuer Kampf wird vorbereitet
Ihr werdet an die Front geleitet
Und als es endlich soweit war
Da wurde Dir viel zu vieles klar
Er hat Dich benutzt für seine Pläne
Ihm klappern nämlich selbst die Zähne
Doch leider hast Du's zu spät erkannt
Eine Bombe explodiert in Deiner Hand

Auch Du wolltest den totalen Krieg
Auch Du glaubtest noch an den Sieg
Du wirst nichts neues mehr entdecken
Du wirst mit Deinen Freunden verrecken

 
 
 
 
 

Bloody Ice: Firehouse

It's the sun that kisses the ground like the days before, so many days before
And the night covers my soul and the creatures just beginning to crawl in my mind
They are looking for you, today, tonight, for you

Burning candles, burning for you
In Firehouse, Firehouse

I will get you, I will meet you, in Firehouse, Firehouse
Kissing on your lips cold as stone
Just another reason for being at home, in Firehouse, Firehouse
I hold you down, down on your knees
Your naked flesh will have no peace, in Firehouse, Firehouse
Cries in the wind, dust on your hands, in Firehouse, Firehouse
In this precious night you have no dreams
This is the end for you and me, in Firehouse, Firehouse
No way for crumbling away from my hands
I will reach you, you have no chance, in Firehouse, Firehouse
You won't escape, I am behind you, in Firehouse, Firehouse

In your broken eyes I see the pain
The hate of my mind, the hate of my brain
This is the moment, the moment of mine
Just the right season and the right time
Feel the cold metal, feel the cold knife
The candles still burning and you're still alive
It enters your flesh, it enters your veins
I feel the fire, I feel the flames
Warm blood on my hands, warm blood on you
Dreams are made flesh, dreams become true
I yearn for your breath, I yearn for your heart
The screams on the walls and the echoes apart
The smell of your body, the smell of your blood
It's quite a pleasure, it's quite a drug, in Firehouse, Firehouse

Your skin is incense burning my mind
Touching your back at warm candle-light, in Firehouse, Firehouse
Now you are willing for melting with me
You've never wanted, now do pay your fee, in Firehouse, Firehouse
I am laying with you, I am laughing tonight, in Firehouse, Firehouse
Leaving your inside with sweat on my face
You lost the game, but I've won the race, in Firehouse, Firehouse
The shape of your body is splashed on the wall
I feel no regrets for nothing at all, in Firehouse, Firehouse
Who will be my victim of the night, in Firehouse, Firehouse

 
 
 
 
 

Advanced Art: From Nothing To Nothing

I keep walking just keep walking
On this bridge that leads
From nothing to nothing
There are reasons so many reasons
It all seems stupid
But I don't feel like laughing
There are the ones the other ones
Who cross this bridge that leads
From nothing to nothing
They don't know me no-one knows me
I say something get an answer
But we're not talking
I let the cold wind bite
Deep into my heart
Let the icy fingers touch my soul
And tear it apart
These strangers all these strangers
On this bridge that leads
From nothing to nothing
There is no hope for us no hope
We never admit but
Dream of finding something

 
 
 
 
 

Twilight Ritual: I Never Called You A Dream

I never saw it before, but now I look and I find it everywhere.
They haven't left a thing for us, nothing left for me.
I never called you a dream.
They took it all, they know us all.
We could have known it from before, but ever though, we did not see it.
I never called you a dream.

Oh, holy cow!
I cannot see it - I know - what's happening.
I cannot see it.
There's nothing secret!
There are no secrets anymore!

 
 
 
 
 

Rational Youth: I Want To See The Light

Someone left the lights out on the ground
And the people that were there were never found
10:15 flight to Madrapour
Soaring off into the night forever more
And the dreams we were dreaming
Have all flickered and died
Before we close that curtain
I want to see the light

In a dream the truth is overheard
That our destination's only just a word
He who so desires is free to go
But the gesture would be worthless even so
All your well-formed opinions
Are just holes in the night
Before they pull that trigger
I want to see the light

Someone bring my medicine, I'm ill
The machine is ready waiting for the kill
Powers below have analyzed my fate
Memo/Update/Final/Subject/Terminate
But I feel only nothing
I with silence abide
Before they push that button
I want to see the light

I want to see the light
I want to see the light
I want to see the light
I want to see the light
I want to see the light
I want to see the light

Someone told me yesterday that you would like to ...
That you would like to ...
You can come with your girlfriend
I think it could be a good idea
