The Brain 05:37
I am here alone, I am full of pain, stranded in my room, I am full of sorrow. Can you feel the void, frozen subtle hue, leave me with my toys, leave me with my shattered youth. I can see the grave, beckoning my bones, I can’t even speak, I can only stand in... shadows of the past, still hovering my soul, like vultures full of wrath, they pick apart my sacred soul. And the angels behold me as something touched the brain... And the spirits unfold me as I go insane. Holly close the door, lock it from inside, please don’t make a sound, I don’t want to die here. Look into my eyes, feel my naked soul, serpentine divine, Lothius devours, poisoning my ghost, ripping through the mask, terrifying host, can you make it last. And my good friend watches, as I touch the brain. And my girlfriend watches as I go insane.. I don’t feel the pain, I just close my eyes, needle in the vein, I’m floating into light. Conscious do be void, no suffering tonight, I am not afraid, shooting up on antichrist. And the strange voice taunts me, from deep inside the brain. And the children all watch me, as I go insane.. We are all alone, we are here in vain, godless without homes, strangers in the rain. Many billion souls, have cried out to the skies, please god take me home, please don’t let me die here, but we are still alone.

7th Soul 05:10
I don't want to lie I don't want to say goodbye here am I, lost inside the lonely room within the calm opening my soul coming on like god I can make you whole There are places you can go deep within your 7th soul when all the world is falling around your bed and everyone, everywhere I don't want to cry I don't want to go outside I can see, everything is my enemy Here I'll stay, slipping from the host floating all through space hovering your ghost There are places you can go deep within your 7th soul And I come falling all around your bed like everyone, everywhere I don't want to die I don't want to close my eyes here I lie, underneath the hemisphere And all I see swirling in your eyes we don't even speak we are far too high There are places you can go deep within your 7th soul And I come falling all around your head with everyone, everywhere Robert Damien Youth

Where will you sleep oh my little demon seed and you're all on your own tonight Where will you lie, my darling little Antichrist in this vast human garden I'm terrified, when all the world's asleep tonight and I'm terrified, in this garden I'm terrified, when all I hate is full of life I'm terrified in this garden And everything I know and love is dying in a pool of blood and all I've got is swallowed up and everything is gone and I see 13 little Antichrists are staring through your baby's eyes and they despise, they despise, terrified, terrified Come in from the streets my lovely little enemy innocence, kiss me violent Come to me tonight my lovely little Antichrist in my room of holy silence I'm terrified, I want to be with you tonight I'm terrified in the human garden And everything I know and love is dying in a pool of blood and all I've got is swallowed up and everything is gone and I see 13 little Antichrists are staring through your baby's eyes and they despise, they despise, terrified, terrified. I'm terrified, when all I hate is full of life I'm terrified in this garden

Virus 07:51
VIRUS Terrified, I stare through my telescope eye paralyzed, I see through your mind Horrified, I crouch behind derelict eyes no disguise, in naked light And all of the colors in you are colors in me And all of the fear within you is fear within me In my room, I reach through the poisonous light into you, you cry in confusion Subtle hues, emit from your eyes into mine I am you, in naked asylum And all of the voices in you are voices in me And all of the secrets in you are secrets in me Moonlit bride, I stand in the field where you lie crumpled winged, like Lucifer Christ In my gown I spin like a merry-go-round scary eyed... please don't crucify me And all of the blood within you is blood within me And all of the visions in you are visions in me And all of the gods within you are gods within me And all of the worlds within you are worlds within me And all of the spirits in you are spirits in me And all of the poison in you is poison in me And all of the hatred in you is hatred in me And all of the virus in you is virus in me

about

Strange Machine was recorded during the time Damien was recording his Bride Of The Asylum album. Unlike the loner freak folk of that album, Strange Machine finds Damien working with a full band. The Strange Machine.

The Strange Machine only recorded this lone album, played two shows, one of them being a very high profile show at the Anne Rice Annual Coven party, then broke up quickly afterwards.

Though this pre-Dates Damien's full on 70's glam project "The Cosmic Cult Of Adam Strange", you can hear that direction already beginning to take root.

Note: For those familiar with Damien's Bride Of The Asylum, here you're treated to one of it's tracks with a full band treatment. "Virus".
