LUX OCCULTA LYRICS

1. Breathe In

[Instrumental]

2. Mother Pandora

White headed wisemen decipher your scars
Trying to read between the layers
Hold me tight, break my spine
Put me back into Hell of your womb
Let me suck your festering wounds
I’ll grow strong on pus and blood

For I am the first and the last
I am the honored one and the scorned one
I am the whore and the holy one
I am the wife and the virgin
I am the mother and the daughter
I am the members of my mother

The crown and the scepter of living cells
Pitiful regalia
“Love surrounds us all”
Thus spoke her dead majesty

I am she whose wedding is great
And I have not taken a husband
I am the midwife and she who does not bear
I am the solace of my labor pains
I am the bride and the bridegroom
And it is my husband who begot me
I am the mother of my father and the sister of my husband
And he is my offspring

Selfish bitch, mother paranoia
Cannot live without your poisonous milk
Cannot live without your lethal caress

Life is a cancer
Unnatural state
Kiss me, cure me
Mother death

3. Architecture

Natural order of things
The first lie and farewell kiss
Homo sum et nihil humanum
Nylon, plastic uranium, plutonium

Breathe in
Breathe out

In the basilica of the human body
Obey the law of flesh ever burning
Ten commandments of oxygen and carbon
Entombed in a pyramid of skin
Communicating vessels, acid, electricity
What a useless mechanism

Behind the walls of protein prison
Crowned with barbed wire of DNA
Imprisoned is this piece of shit

Are we indeed fingerprints of God?
Zero one zero zero one…
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
One one zero one zero one…

A human being
What a shame
I think therefore I am
What a waste

4. Most Arrogant Life Form

Shall we feel proud of being fate’s favorite toys?
Cain’s tribe, tribe the chose ones who have no choice
Salt of this earth, salt in the eye of providence

In the everlasting cosmic lotto
Father hydrogen mutates
Into self-confidence and presumption
Is Pygmalion proud of himself?

That poor old monkey Darwin was wrong
There was no evolution at all
Just the case history
The syphilitic clown Nietzsche was wrong
There is no ubermesch at all
All I’ve heard of were uberworms
That crippled bastard Hawking was wrong
For there is no time at all
The only dimension known to us is fear

The universe is constantly expanding
Yet midgets remain the same
What is above remains above
All is just a matter of scale

5. Yet Another Armageddon

This is the first day of our last days
This is the first day of our last days
No one cares, no one cares anymore

It’s so tempting to have faith
It’s so hard to pretend
A new simpler theology
Eternity in a piece of meat

This is the first day of our last days
This is the first day of our last days
But no one cares, no one cares anymore
We overslept another Armageddon
A new simpler theology
A new simpler theology
No one cares, no one cares anymore...

6. Gambit

I didn’t start this wicked game
Neither were the rules of play mine
You invited me to the chessboard
Your pieces are white?
Fine I’ll take black...

Clever and cruel opening
King sacrifices his baby son
White knights move decidedly
Strange are the ways of black goats

Send your messengers up North
They will bring you coldness and doubt
Send your messengers down south
They will bring you decay and distrust
Send your messengers to the west
They will bring discouragement and disappointment
Send your messengers to the east
They will bring torment and pain

Time for the next move
You have your last eternity
Flag fall
Heads fall
It’s my turn

I fucked the queen
And she enjoyed the ride
I cursed your bishop
I impaled your knights

Checkmated God
Face to face with a free pawn

7. Midnight Crisis

It’s so clear for the very first time
It’s so close I can hardly believe
I wish I knew, what are these keys for
I wish I was lost in this labyrinth
I didn’t ask for these visions
I didn’t ask to hear the siren’s voice
I wish I was deaf and blind
I wish I could sleep at night

8. Pied Piper

Beautiful and wealthy is our town of Hamelin
Neighbors are green with envy, proud my fellow citizens
Our stomach’s are full, our dreams are calm
We can either kill or buy all that comes our way

Please your honors – said he – I’m able
By means of a secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun
That creep or swim or fly or run
After me so as you never saw!
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm
The mole and toad and newt and viper
And people call me the pied piper

But there’s this small embarrassing thing
Filthy, disgusting, stinking rats
They don’t belong here
They don’t match
Did almighty lord create the scum?

You can have your perfect world
But you will have to pay the price

‘Cause there’s the small, embarrassing thing
Filthy, disgusting, stinking us
We don’t belong here
We don’t match
Your father in heavens didn’t create us

Pay your bills fellow citizens
Or we will take your children with us
It’s not about hatred, we’re not your enemies
But you see, we have to feed the rats

And you will never learn
Who’s the hunter and who’s prey in this game
And you will never learn
Who is Pied Piper and who’s rat in the end
And you will never learn
Who is the leader and who’s been lead

9. Missa Solemnis

It’s immoral to have one eye
In the kingdom of the blind
Yet I believe that all in this world
Is the manifestation of God

I grow rusty nails in my wounds
I bathe them with my urine
They will blossom with blood
But they will never fructify
I breed this noble wine
On black soil Ge-Hinnom
What a lovely place to die
Home sweet home
I bake my bitter bread
In this crematory oven
I use human ashes as flour
And so big the dough grows

I know where I belong
And I know where to go
I’ve seen that episode on TV
I’ve seen it twice
I put the barrel in my mouth
That brings back peace of mind
It’s so much fun to play Russian roulette
With a fully loaded gun

This is the point when it starts
This is the point when it ends

I own all maps of human weakness
I have all keys to deprivation
Call me by my countless names
Emptiness, confusion, despair
Satan tempting himself
The serpent swallowing its tail
Call me perfect, call me nine
Sins don’t leave scars
Call me hell

10. Breathe Out

This the last hour of the carnival
I dance, I dance though it hurts
Hangman’s rope suits well
Every gentleman
Madam, you look charming
In the necklace of blood

People say there’s a day after
Every night
People say there’s sun
Behind these clouds
What a relief
I’ll drink to that
Pour me a glass of poisoned wine
