Cold Souls 07:00
Frozen in glass Extracted by machine Cold souls Soul removal, appointment today Frozen in storage and here it will stay Emotional death ; not as perfect as it seems DMT in suspense - pausing all your dreams Cold souls bear no fruit Trees of life cut at the root Don't take it from me It is my essence So unassuming Stop what your doing Where is my blackness, the one I know so well Stored in a basement of concrete hell Purgatory - Sub-zero icey chill Sold onto another... Cold souls bear no fruit Trees of life cut at the root Don't take it from me It is my essence Small - unassuming Stop what your doing Frozen in glass Extracted by machine Cold souls - own goals They've misplaced my soul So i took another instead The donor took their own life No dreams now...

Ride into the light Beyond the mountains high Cosmic voyage - a shooting star Seen from below A phosphorescent glow Rev the engine, we're gonna go far Through the darkened void Of systems long destroyed Magnetic pulse pulls me through The sun is distant now Just don't ask me how The black of space a different hue Death is the portal To becoming immortal Ride the beam of light Into the endless night Time rearranging Reality is changing Beyond all hope Into darkness I ride taking death in my stride Headlights turned to full beam Traversing the eternal dream Death is the portal To becoming immortal Beyond all hope Into darkness I ride taking death in my stride Reaching my destination I'm filled with trepidation Death is the portal To becoming immortal Beyond all hope Into darkness I ride taking death in my stride "Now in a haze, forgetting the distant days This feeling's indivisible Disappear into the far-off distant blue Becoming the invisible"

Ride the ghost-train if you dare Take a ride through living hell Where the day departs to night-time At the ringing of the bell. Doors of perception burst You enter, but what to find? Hear the wailing sirens As the great doors close behind... “Is someone there?” a familiar voice Calls out into the dark It’s answered by an echoing groan In response to your remark You pick up speed and start to fall The dim lights flashing past ‘It’s just for children’ you kid yourself Reality hard to grasp. Neon ghoul ride - to where nobody knows To the future - to the past The rattle of your flimsy cart On the train-track down below It's enough to derail your mind As your fears begin to grow Deep in the heart now of the ride; The point of no return It’s too late to turn back now Your soul begins to burn. Neon ghoul ride - to where nobody knows To the future - to the past Doors ajar hide skeletons From a far-off distant past Hauntings from your future times Are waiting till the last The disembodied wailings Will drive you around the bend Plastic coffins, electric skulls ; A nightmare without end

“Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the circus of freaks, fools and pitiful miscreants” In the full moon's ring the acts perform And I curse the day that I took refuge here This freak show is an open lid to hell From the canvas ceiling to the murky depths below Running away from the circus Every day is a nightmare Culminating in the show The ringmaster cracks his whip (his top hat hiding his horns) The performers laugh nervously The crowd jeer in contempt I envy the man who put his head In the hungry lion’s mouth Running away from the circus I've been kept awake for months By the weeping of the clowns The trapeze artist’s plain drunk And the strongman breaking down I am the tightrope walker Every day I deal with death She lives in the wagon opposite With a man with fire for breath Acrobatic elephants A self-immolating car A bearded lady, a man in a bottle Don’t run, you won’t get far… We never stop for too long For fear of acception Spiraling down, from town to town… I must run away from the circus It’s a living, breathing hell All performers are in limbo With no souls left to sell Dive into the bucket From 100 feet above The magician removes his handkerchief And lets loose a dove ; "Fly away, my white feathered friend"

The man who stole the music He lives in the moon Like a thief stowing away He hides in its pale light There's no escaping The gravity of his heinous crime Festering in your mind Until the day you die “Can this be true, these tales of old Of a thief in the sky with many a tune ? I'll be waiting for him Next time he's coming down And I'll ask him why he stole my heart” ..He's coming down.. “Oh pale-faced cretin; why do you come? To steal my ideas, to hide them away! Be gone back to your cold out-post But give me my heart before you leave” Did you just see him? Now he's gone Please don't tell me you still don't believe? Next time he's here, I'll let him know That your dreams aren't worth taking

The false impostor - spins like a wheel With hair so wild and eyes of fire No time but show time and drifting the web He’s the first to escape From the hole in my head I’m shaking with fear and a portent of dread Poetic prophet, dance into a craze Turn a million times before The setting of the Sun This is a song for the Time-travelling medicine man He'll be gone again too soon Hear his wisdom while you can With radiation brain & gamma-ray eyes Proclaiming doom & wisdom From the darkening skies Hear him come calling from the other side Walking through reflections in the mirror Who’s to stop him and why is it so? He’d only claim insanity, so just let him go On his fire-blazing mission He comes calling on winds The ticking of the clouds Like a clock when it sings This is a song for the Time-travelling medicine man He'll be gone again too soon Hear his wisdom while you can Here he comes now ! Call the thunder - warn of times to come With a flash of light the ritual has begun “Won’t you come with me ?” Stand and deliver - Give me your mind ! A 21st Century remedy He’s on the quest for eternity Cloud clock - Loud clock Tick tock - Clouds STOP!
