BEYOND DAWN LYRICS

1. Love's (Only) True Defender

It's about time you caught up with me
Or should I say I caught up with you
Anyway it was inevitable
Love's sweet aroma leaves quite a trace
Too bad it doesn't last
It never has, it never will
It just can't last
Damn (why can't it last?)

Step down
Let my hollowness embrace you
Step down
And my emptiness corrupt you

Do I ever get lonely?
There's only one of us left now
What do you think?
Of course there's always old Mr. Hate
Not too much company in him after the apocalypse
Too bad "travel" is not part of my vocalbulary

Step down
Let my hollowness embrace you
Step down
And my emptiness corrupt you

2. Tender

First, let's start with a catastrophy
A deceiving yet gentle disharmony
When silence turns into an odyssey
A hazardous flight through anatomy
And the listener starts thinking
"Is this where I want to be
Is not this music luring and pulling me
Deep down into a space where I have no ability
To withstand unconsciousness and futility"

It makes him feel oh so tender
It makes him feel oh so soft
It makes him curl up inside
And spend all the love that he never got

Second, when we are done with the cowardly
Who evidently had no shred of dignity
We start with the naked and foolhardy
And force him to utter addictively
"Why is my God lying and cheating me?
Is there no end to this forcefed hypocrisy?
Is it I or he who has got the best of me?
That is served with this religious monogamy"

It makes him feel oh so tender
It maked him feel oh so soft
It makes him curl up inside
And spend all the love he never got

(This is how the slightest disharmony turns into a lucid disharmony)

3. Resemblance

now i don't love you
i just want your to feel like I was always there
like the bliss of what you want the most
i'm not your friend, i'm merely a ghost
when magic has entered your veins
i'll swim in your blood
and when you feel like a queen
i'll sleep in the mud
with the taste of your lips deceiving my brain,
like all that's beautiful, like all that's insane

now i'm drifting helpless
through cold bright pictures
in a deep brown river
through talking insects
and they sting
their faces are kind
ignorance enthusiasm
side by side

and i know you're somewhere inside this open wound
i want to hurt you now, will i see you soon?

now i'm drifting helpless
through cold bright pictures
in a deep brown river
through talking insects
and the sting
yeah they sting
their faces are kind
ignorance, enthusiasm
side by side

4. Stuck

now as the evening steals the sun
i claim the air inside your lungs
and you have killed your heart in vain
now i'm your freedom, i'm insane
your selfish beauty wants to live
into this ocean, you won't breathe here
a homesick child with leaking eyes
where's the sun? am i blind?
it's growing deep between your thighs
it's so meaningless and its mine

sweet, sweet, sweet
buried in your bloody conscience so deep

the mild unconsciousness of time
left the future behind
it pushed our luck into the ground
with the memories and the sounds
of screaming children kept in shrines
like our love and love is blind
it slipped our hands, but it got stuck in our minds

sweet, sweet relief
buried in your bloody conscience so deep

5. Three Steps For The Chameleon (How To Seduce Modesty)

I'm clean trust me
I'm overwhelmed by your radiance
please save me

come let me hear you say
we kissed on the first of may

strong, i'm strong
I'm the strongest there is
I'll never miss a heartbeat
I'll never waste a kiss

don't try to denay
you raped me on the first of july

use me, just use me
feed me, I'm greedy
abandon me, never leave me

please remember
you drowned me on the first september

6. I Am A Drug

welcome to clarity
this is your mind speaking
regret we ever met
i'm here i will let you forget
you bore me like dignity
so this is your love leaking
like the blood of a dying dream
through the holes of an empty sea

remember the taste in your mouth
when you swallowed your only wishes
and remember the beautiful world
that always denied your kisses
and the frightening freedom to change
that i sheltered you from in my cold lonely hands
they embraced your drunken body at night
and you wonder killed your plans

now i am a drug
but you may pretend
that your eyes are clear and your senses are true
and your mind is a faithful friend

7. Breathe The Jackal

Ten thousand bodies entangled in a strange room
A formless struggle leaves a question of demise
And as a handful of lies is a weapon
As dignity confused with pride

Tie me up and let the dogs in

This kind of sympathy attracts me no longer
This kind of tenderness suits me no more
Designed to harvest, I feed on tamed warmth
Constructed envy, I've adapted a cold

Tie me up and let the dogs in

8. Life's Sweetest Reward

will love leave you senseless
attached to your dreams
in your bittersweet, selfish aroma
paint you hysterical with your ideals
in your own erotic coma
will love leave you trembling alone in your bed
caressed by your skin and your body
scared of the lights of future sunsets
regretting you ever had memory?

will love turn your shyness into verbal disgrace
unable to lie or invent
as pride equals pain, you harden your face
your lips never spoke what they meant
will love paint your eyes red
consuming their faces
hoping they would understand
you watch as they're fading into different places
still wishing you were one of them?

9. Chains

Your love is drowning me
Your love is strangling me
Deny my right to breathe
Deny me my feeble existence

I despise your love
I despise your strokes of tenderness

Pity love
Salute the lack of emotion

And let me feel the chains
I can feel the chains pour down

Pity love
Salute lack of emotion

10. Phase To Phase

How long in this eternal shell
How many dreams will end
How many ponderings in existence
How many moments of reflection
How many frightful words
How many distant glances
How many shrugging doubts
How numerous are your debts?
