DARK SUNS LYRICS

1. Stampede

"Still we paint and model to make the complex clear"

2. Flies In Amber

Let the dice roll
A random aspect to receive

Leave the beaten track
Chaos as a constant

There's no valid system
But still one key you hide inside

A forty letters maxim
The artwork illustrates

How painters climbed the ladder to understand
Break this crust apart from the inside
For too long you've been controlled by dogmas
Hagridden by facts full of lies
A turning web of trivialities
Quit, scorn, burn, change this daily grind
Stereotype thorns in the flesh

But you don't mind...
Bugging vibes

Grating pipes
Condemn the veiled trash
And don't give a shit about its hype

...Sorry, "Maybes and Wannabes" ...you suck!!!

Faded flies in amber we are
The adornment of the unveiled

Madness grinding harmony

If you only tried to recover dreams you've tainted

Prophet-rhymes foresee
Make a plea

No sunset for the depraved...

Sink down in a hole
To see how little you've gained

And how vast the unattained
Time is shifting
Ripping at the base

What lingers fades out at last
And what leaves you cold is dead

May I never be dead again

Listen!
Don't believe that walls would never cede

In mind I shift them
Ninety degrees to create a paradoxum

Well, I mean...an open frame
Inflamed delirium

Somehow I know you'd feel the same

Whining doesn't help building bridges

Cross the borders of perception
Blow your golden cage

Turn the page
There's beauty in unexpected places

Leave the pile
Once in a while
You'll hear a voice

Bringing quitessence:
There is an inspiration that is so strong

I run, I run, I run
HUMAN WILL

Faded flies in amber we are
The adornment of the unveiled

Once again they smashed over miles
Too many hours cursed by chessmen

I won't any longer agree
Could there be anything left?

Smirking ones try to fake my tongue

But hey...
I don't think you'll keep me under control

Corrupt your hole

Tired friend, ...join the band

We won't pretend healing
Therefor mesmerize

3. Thornchild

"You're a mysterious human being
For all your vitality turned in on yourself
And maybe I have never attempted to understand you..."

I don't trust in the sweet silence
Snakes revealed their very virulence
Take me for sick
Save me from mine
It comes closer
My thorns entwine
In that mania it grows stronger
I am tired of self-test hunger
Take a spoon now
Just taste my spine
Crunch it slowly
Its taste to refine

Once I've been a happy clown
But my smile turned upside down
Just like one and two make three
I corrupted irony
I'm the one whose name I bear
Hang around and just don't care
Unsure how to live among
All these tender psycho-drones

How I long for ancient dawns
Crazy sessions at the bar
Self-destructing therapy
Intoxicated ecstasy
Progress filled the open space
Murphy's law in any case

How could I dare to leave the children?
Why could I never keep hold of your arms,
...of your dreams?
What wrong has happiness done to me, my friend?
None! (I never saw the lie)

Why the silence?

How could I dare to leave the children?
Why could I never keep hold of your arms,
...of your dreams?

I will never be the sort of a special friend
I could never let you go, not until the end
(how could I dare?)
Do my fingers jam around for a distant sun?
Will I ever be complete, leave the sick undone?

What wrong has happiness done to me, my friend?
None!
I will never be the sort of a special friend
I could never let you go, not until the end
Do my fingers jam around for a distant sun?
Will I ever be complete, leave the sick undone?

Who made the lion mild that day?
I lost it all along the way
Builded castles in the sky
Never saw the lie
First laughter, then again depressed
First being sure, then confused
Am I the snake slowly squeezing my own neck tighter?

Remember the promise you have made

How could I dare to leave the children?
Why could I never keep hold of your arms,
...of your dreams?

I will never be the sort of a special friend
I could never let you go, not until the end
(how could I dare?)
Do my fingers jam around for a distant sun?
Will I ever be complete, leave the sick undone?

My time is slipping away
Leaving the city behind
Take a close-up of comfort in evidence

Goodbye old friend, goodbye

I don't trust in the sweet silence
Snakes revealed their very virulence
Take me for sick
Save me from mine
It comes closer
My thorns entwine

4. Rapid Eyes Moment

„dream:“
See how curious we are when we dream
analysing the fragments of an anatomy's experience
imagine your wishes forlorn
lonely flights over winding bridges
with a melody inside
I am drifting far beyond my home
in a final thinking hour
occupied by those who sleep
a cosmic trip so tight and deep

„sub-dream:“
A lonesome stone at my hands
the Milky Way inside my spinal chord
rainbow-coloured eyes
scarlet red achievers
a pay-per-view moment of a metamorphosis in mind
that is why we all pay the ceiling
approaching the sun
approaching as one

A lonesome stone at my hands
scarlet red achievers
drenched to the skin I am
I've never dreamt a dream within a dream
...can't I wake ?

„sub-dream level two:“
All pain was of my sinning
all sins a part of mine
mine the disclaimer of regret
mine unholy shrines
mine were the fingermarks on every brooded wrong
the hate that fumed behind each envious tongue
mine every greed and lust
mine denying altered crust
malicious-joy my bitter wine
and even scorn the mine...

5. Amphibian Halo

„Intension:
Lay down these habits of a vanished past
forget them for a while and quit
too many hours cursed by false lies
enough of modest advices
cause first and foremost I decide

„Intervention:“
Shallow clones performing copies of a copy
faces swirling into semblance
I think it's only human to appreciate...
who nailed man to laterally masking attitudes?
who nailed man to envy?

„Intuition:“
Am I sleeping in between the right and left halves of your brain?
...just open wide and set me free
Am I sleeping?

6. The Chameleon Defect

„A Short Fiction Of Clarity“

(in a circle)
„obsessed with technique
hagridden by facts,
in love with information,
estranged from ethos“

„Number One Priority:
I follow the dictates of money

Number Two Priority:
I deny priority one

Number Three Priority:
Run for election“

7. Free Of You

And now I am free of you
lying in a flower bed, forlorn
the clashes are down
I come apart the seams

I've seen the wild horse running
while looking in your eyes
instead of bright crescendoes
the stalemate hangs us high

I stare into the mirror
staring at what looks like me
all signs point to be alone again
the forbidden fruit at his hands
a sudden waste
why?

I need time to count the things that went wrong
time on my own
made for idly caring days
I'll have the scars and you the memories
until I give vent to my anger

Jealousy...
the speculative nature of jealousy
silent fact of lust
a greed for the lost
or simply a sign of affection

One term will remain
the domino effect stays the same
my dreams are coming again
coming again
they're coming again

A lonesome pleasure kidding with melancholy
clinking glasses tell me I matter
abashing black and white
keep the nails out of mine
out of mine

These rainy days are yours to keep
I'll better fade away
I need to find some way out
someway to make me stay

I need time to count the things that went wrong
time on my own
made for idly caring days
I'll have the scars and you the memories
until I give vent to my anger

My fingers harvest the dark
a winding confession glides along my bones
you seemed to play by the rules
but somehow it turned out to be more difficult
don't take me for a freak
don't fool me any longer
take the memories with you
and enjoy them when you feel down

One term will remain
the domino effect stays the same
my dreams will revive
coming again
they're coming again
(Am I free? Am I free? Am I free?)

I need to be wanted
and want to be needed
alone I get out of hand

I'm tired of giving my love to you
tired of the stupid things I do
I'm tired of getting nothing in return
tired of being unable
to learn

8. Papillon

I am the breeze
along a blue horizon
as for you, you're just a child
praying by a pale rainbow
fading so silently

I am the echo of colour and shape,
a multi-coloured painting
as for you,
you're just a random number
on the wall of camouflages
a lonely ghost of the past
a pale memory
in a frame composed of lies

You're a name in the sand
but the waves washed it away
as for myself,
I have to water the martyrs' flowers

You're just a note in the book of life
as for myself,
I leave a footprint
on the beach of eternity

Sometimes
when all the offences
apparently fade
I retreat into my shell
my cocoon

Sometimes
when all the industrious enviers
hitting the ground of superfluity
I disclaim

Sometimes
when all the abnormal beauty
reminds me of what I am living for
I pray

Sometimes
when all the eternal moments collide
I arise
inhale a breeze of my enigma

Let the signs become clear
clock's ticking
it is time
may the last message near

It is time
it is for tomorrow

9. 29

„Der Zufall gab dem Leben seinen Namen
Brachte Vielfalt in den Heranwuchs
Und erschuf plötzlich
Die Intelligenz,
Mutter des Systems.
Ordnung – ein festgefahrenes Niveau
Von Standarderweiterung geprägt
Wir sind das Risiko eingegangen
Und haben es siegen lassen.
Anpassung braucht Opfer,
Doch du sollst nicht sterben,
Du sollst leben
Im Einklang mit der Welt.
Abgestempelt als Verrückter
Rennst du durch die Abwechslung
Hinter den Wänden,
Die den Weg der Voreingenommenen abgrenzen.
Sollen Sie dem kleinsten Abschnitt
Im Horizont entgegenlaufen,
Ihrem Ziel.
[Steven Hesse, 23.06.1977 – 08.11.2006]“

„protagonist one:“
Unaware he failed
conjured up preying fear
his instinctive rebellion and his talents lost their charm
but I know
he savoured life
he dreamt
he changed this life again
he wrote this lines
line by line
Unaware we failed
and shouldered all the blame
dissolved into tears again
for there's music full of memories
like Gabriel
my flesh and blood
I'll swim the flood with you again
and read your lines
line by line

„protagonist two:“
Pierce the empty zone
cause you are not alone
a step towards the now
in heart you'll save a bow
you don't cry in vain
the more you miss his flame
the more I feel ashamed
once just have known his name
pierce the empty zone
cause you are not alone
a step towards the now
in mind we'll save a bow
you don't cry in vain
the more you miss his game
the more I wished to share
his silent words of care

„protagonist one:“
Maybe we've never talkes about it before
so it's really hard for me to find any words at all
I mean, I can't explain to you my feelings
...it's a tremendous emptiness that causes me pain
a certain longing that will never be satisfied again
and I guess, consequently, never cease
I delve into pages
I lurk in cages
this way I like to atone
missing you
missing you... so much
If I tore down my pain,
maybe beneath the surface
would gratefulness be seen
