HEAVY BEAUTY
I’m thinking about
Living without the suffering
Tomorrow’s woes are all on hold
Ignoring the wars
Outside your door, we’ll rise above
Those reprobates embracing hate
In dreams you can trust
We’re such a long time dust
Life has such a heavy beauty
Welcome her with open arms
The burdens can be heavy duty
But we carry on
Don’t ever doubt my love is devout
The hospital’s a world away
We still sashay
You’re in a malaise, just counting the days
We’ve got to make the days all count
Live in the now
The past has lost but time’s not won, help me
The past has lost but time’s not won, help me please…
Life has such a heavy beauty
Welcome her with open arms
The burdens can be heavy duty
Life has such a heavy beauty
The frost of an unsettled sun
Forget all their forever cruelty
And carry on
HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED
Cold and bare
A consequence of a love affair
After all I’ve been through
My heart stayed true
Screw you
Your sick games
Have dragged me into these flames
I hope you like mine as well
Let’s take a tour through hell
Can you see your body shaking?
Can you feel your lips are quaking?
Can you taste your sweet, sweet tears?
Darling tell me of your fears
I just want to set you on fire
Want to bury you alive
Want to drown you in your own blood
After I’ve sliced you with a knife
I just want to set you on fire
Want to bury you alive
You’ll wish you were never born
’cause hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Every teardrop from me
Becomes a blood drop from you
Every breath you have left
I’ll be here with you…
I just want to set you on fire
Want to bury you alive
Want to drown you in your own blood
Sweetness, I’m in overdrive
I just want to set you on fire
Want to bury you alive
I was your rose now I’m your thorn
’cause hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
I’M ARMAGEDDON
I glide my way beyond the crowds
Of humans caught in lonely shrouds
My chosen weapon is my truth
My mission calls when I spy you
Selling hypocrisy as selflessness
Well, hell can find a space or two
I, I have no meaning
I’m not believing
But I’m doing well
I, I’m armageddon
I’m not from heaven
I come from hell
I’ll write your final chapter now
Much sooner than you were expecting
I’ll see you get what you deserve
For your contemptuous invective
Prepare for chaos, angels fall from grace
And no, your god can’t hear them cry
For your saviour can’t dictate
As your behaviour seals your fate
No absolution it’s too late
HOLD ON TO ME
Take a look at me
Never been strong and never been free
Take a look at me
Show me the place where I never wanted to be
Crack a smile for me
Is it alright if I don’t belong?
Crack a smile for me
I’ve never been strong and never been so wrong
Hold on to me
I’ve never been so low
Show me the world is real
On a distant shore
Make me shiver
Make me smile one day
Wipe all my teardrops away
At least for today
Take a look at me
A dreamer adrift unsure of which lie to believe
Take a look at me
A candle unlit in need of some fire to breathe
Would you stand by me?
I’ve been on this lonely road for too long
Would you breathe for me
Before it’s too late
Take a hold of me
The briefest embrace is all that I need for relief
Take a hold of me
You have to be strong just to know when you are weak
RAIN
Pure dirt upon the face
The mind is caged in time, not space
Chained feet that need to run
Bloody hands pointing a gun
Bloody hands pointing a gun
What have I done?
Rain
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain
Wash away the blood from my hands
Blur all my plans
And rain on me
Dry mouth lied too much
Heart’s longing for your touch
Rain will dilute all my tears
Rain will overflow these fears
Rain
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain
Wash away the blood from this land
Blur all my plans
And rain on me
KILL BITTERNESS WITH LOVE
We can kill bitterness with love
Inform our own imperfect world
Whatever’s below, whatever’s above
Let us kill bitterness with love
Kill bitterness with love
You see war on your screen
Malice calls door-to-door
And suspicion’s become nine tenths of the law
We shall dive into the deep
To escape this antipathy
Wishing anguish on those
Who you know through their grief
As a stranger becomes a sworn enemy
Until they bleed into the sea
In the name of democracy
The streets are burning around us but we’ll find a way
The world keeps turning without us but come we must stay
The flags unfurling surround us but love will prevail
For we need honesty
Open minds, inner peace
Find a shared symphony
We can kill bitterness with love
Inform our own imperfect world
Whatever’s below, whatever’s above
Let us kill bitterness with love
Kill bitterness with love
Inform our own imperfect world
Whatever’s below, whatever’s above
Let us kill bitterness with love
It’s more than just a four letter word
Whatever’s below, whatever’s above
Let us kill bitterness with love
Kill bitterness with love
SNOW BLACK
Mirror, mirror in my hand
Who’s the fairest in the land?
Dwarfs, bring me the little slut
We’ll have an orgy in her blood
We’ll have an orgy in her blood…
They say beauty is fleeting
It’s not as brief as the kindness in me
So I became cruel, vile and mean
The warning prevails
Don’t mess with the queen
You dreamed you’d be wed to him
In an enchanted chapel
But nightmares are much more fun
My child, he’ll taste my apple
Dismiss everything they told you in those fairy tales
Real life is etched in sin
There is no happy ending
And the good don’t deserve to win
They say beauty is fleeting
It’s not as brief as the kindness in me
So I became cruel, vile and mean
The warning prevails
Don’t mess…
Soul as cold as snow
Lips red from blood
Heart as black as your last night
With a poisoned apple behind my back
Displeased to meet you
I’m Snow Black
I DON’T KNOW, I DON’T CARE
You say you’re still alive
Believe me I don’t care
And if you die tonight
Believe me I don’t care
You say you’ll move away
Believe me I don’t care
Your past is so passé
Believe me I don’t care
I have conquered fear
My path is crystal clear
When I die today
Today
I don’t know, I don’t care
Your worth was never found
I don’t know, I don’t care
I’d swim to watch you drown
I don’t know, I don’t care
Nobody’s counting down
I don’t know, I don’t care
If you are still around
(When my heart is aching)
Not a single tear
(When the rope is fraying)
Salvation seems so near
(I will find release)
When I die today
(And the rest is peace)
Today
(Today)
I have conquered fear
My path is crystal clear
Not a single tear
Salvation seems so near
You say you’re still alive
The proof is barely there
CINDERELLA
(Oh Cinderella) You let them print the myth
(Oh Cinderella) But you strut like you’re Satan’s gift
(Oh Cinderella) Only once were you swathed in cinders
(Oh Cinderella) Smiling as fire killed your sisters
(Oh Cinderella) Acidic wit and gravestone soul
(Oh Cinderella) No Godmother, you work alone
(Oh Cinderella) In search of power and golden rings
(Oh Cinderella) You’d flirt with fate and charm the Prince
Step one – The Ball
(Oh Cinderella much more in petto, oh Cinderella death by stiletto)
Sinner takes all
Well your spell’s not broken at midnight
Oh Cinderella, siren of dark light
Just one stare – the Prince was snared
Beauty’s wasted on oh so many
Oh Cinderella, drenched in confetti
Hear the applause – the future’s yours (Oh Cinderella)
(Oh Cinderella) The Prince pounced on the night you wed
(Oh Cinderella) To turn your ‘no’ into a brutal ‘yes’
(Oh Cinderella) Your glass stiletto slashed his neck
(Oh Cinderella) He bled to death on a virgin’s bed
Step two – The Throne
(Oh Cinderella much more in petto, oh Cinderella death by stiletto)
All on your own
Well your spell’s not broken at midnight
Oh Cinderella, siren of dark light
Next to you we’re ugly too
Beauty’s wasted on oh so many
Oh Cinderella, artful but deadly
You’ve found your cause – the kingdom’s yours
(Oh Cinderella)
Step three – Revenge
So you dream of nightmares to start
Oh Cinderella, one wish in her heart
Justice is so seductive
When they crossed your dear Father you swore
Oh Cinderella, all love is cold war
The one true friend is pure revenge
Fury’s wasted on oh so many
Oh Cinderella fetched the machete
Next to suffer – your Stepmother
Well her hell’s not over till first light
Oh Cinderella, this is your birthright
Hear her screams and live your dream
Oh Cinderella…
I LOVE THE WAY YOU SAY MY NAME
In the darkest night there’s only your light
That keeps my dream alive
In my bleakest times I have you as my guide
To fill the void inside
First time I heard your voice I had no doubt
I felt that I had found a chance at life
Took me by the hand, made my spirit rise
Taught me how to live without disguise
I was trapped in my mind
Then you freed me from my shame
Ooh I love the way you say my name
You remind me of something deep in my heart
I’d long given up on
In this shadowed room there’s only one spark
We both know we’re the one
I would sin for you to take me in your arms
Sell my soul for you, keep you safe from harm
For a single kiss I would start a war
You’re the only cause that I would die for
I would sin for you
Sell my soul for you
Start a war for you
I would kill for you
I would sin for you
Sell my soul for you
Start a war for you
I would die for you
I would sin for you
Sell my soul for you
Start a war for you
Blood I’d spill for you
I would sin for you
Lose control for you
Start a war for you
I would die for you
FROZEN FIRE
When the wind changed my picture of you
It blows away your facade
In every lie I’ll find a trace of truth
You are the devil but my God
You are so perfect but so flawed
You’re my doom and my desire
You let me fall then take me higher
The purest water, the dirtiest mire
My honest liar
My frozen fire
Carry me to the darkest place
And I will still find some light
In every fight I seek defeat in victory
I feel exposed but so secure
Feel like your queen and like your whore
You’re my angel, my vampire
You make me fall to take me higher
The sweetest sound, the tuneless choir
My frozen fire
You’re the room where dreams conspire
You hear my call, the great denier
The port in storms, the funeral pyre
My cruel messiah
My frozen fire
You’re the wound I most admire
My honest liar
My frozen fire
IN ANOTHER LIFE
I try to steer clear of your eyes
Your touch still takes me down in flames
But from these ashes I can’t rise
To face this journey with no aim
A pregnant pause turns poisonous
The pendulum swings out of spite
A sense of loss we can’t discuss
As silence echoes through the night
And so we wish upon the stars
Life do us part
Till death unites us
If love has failed to find a way
Then is this worthy of the name?
The heartache of a dream denied
Believe we’ll be together on the other side
We’ll do much better in another life
I see the fear behind your eyes
Your words decry, they seldom praise
When once your passion unified
Oh how I’m yearning for those days
And so we wish upon the stars
Life do us part
Till death unites us
If love has sailed beyond the bay
We can be rescued come what may
A twist of fate can turn the tide
Believe we’ll be together on the other side
We’ll be much better in another life
Beware the truth it never dies
