"PURITY"

THE ESSENCE, (c)1985


THE LAST PREACH


every night is in grey i stare at the sky
every time that we pray, oh nothing but faith
every night i face the water ice
every time that we kissed and the we said goodbye

every time that we ache so we follow desire
like the night that we first met in bed and we die
every night that we kissed and so we haunt all the secrets
every night that we die and then we said goodbye

every night that we kissed don't you think i'll just die
feeling helpless and sick i think you promised tonight

every time that we pray the world might be ending
every night that we struggle and then we cry it out loud
every night that your face... fall at your side!
every night that we die and then we said goodbye


A REFLECTED DREAM


i dream and see all the creatures blurred
as i turn away i see myself with closed eyes
the room is quiet in white, they dance and laugh
and they kissed my eyes and fade away

they run out of a dream as i open my eyes
i watched my death and i sweat
i just drowned in a reflected dream

i look and i see Grace
her eyes in black and her lips in cherry red
the tears in her hands
she touched then she trembled away


THE CAT


running far away out of your eyes
in the dark i heard your words i thought i'd never survived
in a glare i heard your voice, i heard you calling, heard you calling
like a million people died so deep in the night

oh they are silent, oh they are movement
oh they are calling, oh they are silent

running far away out of your eyes
in a bed without the sweat of your slaughtered life
like a painted bird that falls into my hands, into my hands
as it died it writhed so cold and faded away


THE BLIND


scarred from ancient times
i dream of funny dreams that fade fast
no one tells the words as we fall into the echoes

haunting all the blind out in the night again
walking through their funny eyes away

breathe so soft and precious as your hands reach for the sky
dreaming though i'm endlessly away

so as i screamed i followed their eyes throw my heart away
pushing through the rain and pushed me down again
they've pushed me down in my trust but then i'll trust them everywhere
in my be, in the night, in a glare, in a perfect hold
a blinded faith with blood red tears
as i put my trust in them then i would, might be crying for this...


NEVER MINE


dreaming you're all mine so helpless in pain i perish and drown again
but then i laugh and it burns up in flames, in ashes of fire
nothing but shapes you're always the same
but everytime i close your eyes, nothing but shapes
nothing but shapes, oh don't you know
i would always die for, always die for this
screaming you'r all mine, but did the vulture in the night decide
it circled away in the dark but you can tease me
you can caress the masks
the make-up for silence and death they're strong and again
i'll never run away, your head bursts open again
then you try to collapse, it's always an empty pain

dreaming you're all mine so the you can kiss me everywhere you want
but then you drift, you always drift so far away
i can't resist your eyes, a wordless scream away
did you ever die there, did you ever stay the same?
but you never talk
and everytime i'm amongst the dead again...


ENDLESS LAKES


sailing on endless lakes a whisper inside tells me to drown away
cold as i lie in the water as i slide downwards blue and pale
everybody just kisses as i'm pushed away in the water bows
everybody just leaves in the dark again on the endless lakes

everybody just dances as i'm well-preserved in thin funeral white
no-one dares to believe that i'm pushed away in the water bows
everybody just walks over waterwaves in a perfect dream
everybody just drowns in the dark again on the endless lakes

i flow far away in the waves the whispers inside as i follow the night
do you think i'm preserved on the endless lakes, do you think i'll just die?
everything that it takes but don't give it away?

everybody just fades as they fall again in their own desire
no-one dares to believe that i'm pushed away in the water bows
everybody just walks over waterwaves in a perfect dream
everybody just drowns in the dark again on the endless lakes


FOREVER IN DEATH


give me your faith to cover me
like a shot through my head and then death forever sleep
in my mouth the taste of you, my eyes turn wet
with desire to put my life into your hands

in the night i reach your eyes
a sin to make forever in death

as i drift in your mind i take your breath
staring like a blind in fear and death
in my mouth the taste of you, my eyes turn wet
with desire to put my life into your hands


SALVATION


perfect moments stay, i writhe for hours in despair
as we fall we struggle with age, oh everything's strange
as we choke we tear and bite everything explodes all inside
but then i'm coughing and blending away you will always stay

i haunt you deep in the night, i find salvation in your eyes
as we fall we drift like angels out of the sky
as we breathe we tear and we bite everything explodes all inside
but then i'm coughing and blending away you will always stay


THE WAVING GIRL


as she carried away in darkness, dancing in the night
walking away through crowds away, you're crying for this night
dancing away through glares alone, you're dancing in the night
everybody dies for this, you're dying for this night

don't you know that i believe in, everything that we could cry out
everything that you could scream out, dancing shapes on the wall again

as she carried away slowly, dancing in the night
walking away like hell again, you're crying for this night
dancing away through eternity, you're dancing in the night
throwing away your rosary, you're dancing for this night

don't you know that i believe in, everything that we could cry out
don't you know that we can be here, dancing shapes on the wall again

as she carried away in darkness, dancing in the night
there's nothing left but faith to pray for, you're crying for this night
as she carried away slowly, dancing in the night
staring again at the stonecold grave, you're dying for this night

don't you know that i believe in, everything that we could cry out
everything that you could scream out, dancing shapes on the wall again

don't you see that i must carry, every time that we have slept here
don't you see that we can be here, dancing shapes on the wall again


PURITY


eyes like ice i scream in silence
begging to stay clenching my hands at your side
voices sing so cold and senseless
children's eyes like ice so wild

burn like ice i haunt in madness
thrashing in bed strike you again as you die
cold and blue i leave you senseless
savage and wild, pushing the blade in my life

eyes like ice i'm covered with flowers
slipping away feeling your breath in my eyes
pure and white i'm lost forever
blood spins out of my eyes again!
