I'm Afraid 02:05
The sun has left the lonely sky The shadows fill my ancient eyes I'm so alone in my room tonight I will not fear I will not cry Go away doesn't mean "Go away" It just means "I am afraid" 'cause I still see your face even though you're far away and I have wept and I have bled but still I lay in this empty bed and one more thing by the way before you go to sleep you should know I'm still afraid I'm still afraid I am still afraid I feel your spirit close to me then next I feel it slip away

I don't know if I can tell you anything at all, anything at all I don't want to think about it I want to be alone, can I be alone? I don't know if I can stand the sound of that clock ticking when I have seen the world stagger, tripping falling, kicking This is my father's garden this is where I came from I am a tree enraged my prophecy the body is a cage I don't want to look around me I don't like what I see, I don't like what I see Man take root and prostitute his immortality for material things I don't know that I can stand the sound of that clock ticking when I have seen the world stagger, tripping falling, kicking This is my father's garden this is where I came from I am a tree enraged my prophecy the body is a cage I am a child I am alone I am a ghost in the spiritual unknown I feel no pain slip from the flame then I spiral skyward to an evolutionary plane ...isn't it strange?

I don't know if you recall the winter night when first I saw you walking through the silent fields so elegant the siren singer The skylark sang the pauper's song I followed you and sang along We lie beneath the great horned moon I worship you, I worship you Under the hallowed moon angel, I still remember you walking under the hallowed moon angel, I can remember you The skylark sang the pauper's song I followed you and sang along We lie beneath the great horned moon I worship you, I worship you In idle haunt, in secret glance behind the veil her eyes entranced the poet writes with trembling hands I knew her in some other land The flower vase, the mantle piece the torment lace, the tapestry the rocking chair, the canopy this black room brings back everything to me Under a hallowed moon angel, I still remember you walking under the hallowed moon angel, I can remember you The flower vase, the mantle piece the torment lace, the tapestry the rocking chair, the canopy this black room brings back everything to me In candle light the poet writes it takes him back in broken flight to another time, another land to when he saw the hologram Her ivory flesh, the velvet dress the prayer and the secret kiss The balcony, the gentle breeze Your tears they taste familiar to me Under a hallowed moon angel, I still remember you walking under the hallowed moon angel, I can remember you Her ivory flesh, the velvet dress the prayer and the secret kiss The balcony, the gentle breeze Your tears they taste familiar to me The trembling mouth, the open legs the blindfold and the cutting blade The perfume and the serpent egg oh I remember everything For darkness reveals everything The omens and the prophecies The ancient hymn the siren sings The poet recalls everything Under the hallowed moon angel, I can remember you walking under the hallowed moon angel, I can remember you The darkness reveals everything The omens and the prophecies The ancient hymn the siren sings Oh sometimes you mean everything to me

Crying Room 02:15
Lonely I was saving myself and feeling down think I'll cry here Wondering what I'm doing think I'll cry here This is where I'll stay And this room won't get me down with it's pictures of your smiling face I always see the pictures I always see your face Even when the candle's out I always want to talk about it in my room, this is where I cry And if the moon don't shine I won't shed a tear because the moon the moon isn't mine And if the sun don't shine I will not close my eyes because after all the sun isn't mine

Anna 02:55
Look into my eyes light the candle read the signs see the ludicrous design of the mind Kiss the mouth and lock the door I can't see you anymore Feel the lubricated snake as she awakes Oh Anna can't you see There's a ghost inside of me He's the serpent I'm the tree Oh Anna You are poison in my eyes and I watch you as you lie I have see you in the sky Anna See her walking down the stairs spiders hanging from her hair I still see her everywhere Anna Oh Anna can't you see There's a ghost inside of me He's the serpent I'm the tree Oh Anna, can't you see?

Son Of God 04:46
I am the setting sun I'm the voice inside your head I am the falling rain feel my blood running red I am the voice of love hear me lie, hear me lie I am the son of god crucified, crucified The poet prays with a poison mouth my soul's been taken away And with a mouth of sores I kiss the spirit whore and now I'm waiting for the 7th day Pray for me, for my soul's been taken away Pray for me, for my soul's been taken away I am one, as you are one and we are one and one is all I know I am the devil's child worship me, worship me I am the serpent egg I'm the poisonous seed And the serpent hides in all the coven brides all their souls are waiting on me So they shave their heads then climb into my bed and they lay their hands on me saying... "I am one, as you are one and we are one and one is all I know" I am the flesh of god kiss my hands, kiss my hands I am the king of soul I am sky I am land And the pipes are playing and the preacher's praying and the world keeps spinning around And the dizzy souls are feeling vertigo that's why we keep falling down I am the song of god kiss my mouth, kiss my mouth I am the ancient one kiss my mouth, kiss my mouth Now I'm conceived of the demon seed and my soul is crying out for the holy three to lay their hands on me 'cause the voice keeps screaming out "I am love, I am the son of God"

Angel kiss then whisper she don't love me anymore Angel eyes like winter she can't see me anymore And I don't want to hear your name And I don't want to feel the pain when I close my eyes to the flicker of the flame And I don't want to see your face And I don't want my heart to break as my spirit waits like a candle in the rain Angel kiss then trembles she don't want me anymore She walks away in visions as love lies broken on the floor And I don't want to know her name And I don't want to see her face when I close my eyes I'll sleep alone tonight And I don't want to feel the pain And I don't want our love to fade like the flickering flame of the candle in the rain And I don't want to know her name And I don't want to see her face And I don't want to feel the pain Because I don't want my heart to break Angel kiss then sighs "Goodbye" Angel kiss then cries "Goodbye"

She denies everything like an angel hiding her wings Her words they twist in broken flight make nest, the tree of deceit Her trembling hands rest on his skin his eyes begin to cry Her angel touch tells everything still vulnerable and shy In candle cage, turn back the page lifting infinity's veil Subtle bliss, your Judas kiss in the gardens of betrayal I held you close as mountain ghosts bend branches revealing the moon Saw in your eyes your spirit child still locked inside a room Like a spirit in a feather box the child has never grown She feels my phantom arms around her though she's still alone In candle cage, turn back the page lifting infinity's veil Subtle bliss, your Judas kiss in the gardens of betrayal I confess I really miss your Judas kiss Angel eyes I really miss your Judas kiss

I Cry 02:48

I'm growing sick to be alone I'm sitting vacant in my home though I don't know you well at all I thought I'd force myself to call but when I try to talk to you it seems I'm never getting through and though I'm trying to be myself it always sounds like someone else My life's the ticking of the clock My life's the phone that never rings My life's the door that never knocks My life's the girl I couldn't bring And when the silence gets too loud the tv keeps me company It's light will shine across the room the records, books and magazines While these things accumulate I guess that love will have to wait It's my material barricade for blocking out the absence rays My life's the girl I couldn't bring My life's the door that's always locked My life's the phone that never rings My life's the ticking of the clock

Tuesday 02:11
And I'm sorry if I ever made you cry but you know I only wanted to protect you And I walk away as the tears build in your eyes but I didn't turn to see the sign you're holding And I never read the signs No I never read the signs But I didn't want to make you cry with the echo of my last goodbye I didn't want to make you cry with the echo of my last goodbye And I watch you sleep feel your hands around my heart and you close your eyes as if I'd never leave you Then I kissed your face and I turned and closed the door This hallway never seemed so long and empty And you'll always be my child And I'll always see your eyes And I hope I didn't make you cry with the echo of my last goodbye

Lilith lie in this pentagram the butterfly is inside you The queen of sores kissed my bleeding hands then she wept the tears of Delilah And all the prophets said in all the books I've read "The judgement is the mirror" And the mirror veils where all the spirits dwell and you can't get any nearer Feel your spirit pour It's a revelation Feel your body soar It's a new vibration Take L.S.D. and hallucinate the color box is exploding I've got Satan trapped in my tv set what is that I'm holding? It's the remote control to his immortal soul but he's on every channel Let's go play in the mushroom field where abstract eyes can behold us Let's go spin on the cherub wheel where spirit hands can unfold us And the queen of sores gave me the hermit card and called me the child of creation Then we both lie down on hallowed ground in Tantric unification Feel your spirit pour It's a revelation Feel your body soar It's a new vibration
