Intro

O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays

Their last upon mine anguish gaze!

Beside this desk, at dead of night,

Oft have I watched to hail thy light:

Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,

With soothing power, thy radiance stole!

In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,

Freely, some mountain height sublime,

Round mountain caves with spirits ride,

In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,

And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew

My spirit, in thy healing dew!

Goethe: Faust I.

The Wheel of Destiny

I loved and lost
I frame my hours
With measured breath
Waiting my turn

Life is right now
Just then, just here
I dont command
What I can not

No one is culpa
No one is that
But when I am
I surely am

So take my blood
Number me then
Break me; do try
But dont get mad

I am savage
Its fear and pain
Not greed and hate
And I wouldnt trade

Not for the world
All thats in it
What would i do
With it anyway?

When I despise
The ways of man
It may be because
Im afraid of it

Let he who Is
Innocent cast
The first of the
Meteorites

Yes, I pray wrong
I pray for death
At least for me
My clock is fucked

How should I be?
Life sure isnt easy
What does it cost
To live life free?

Yes, Im a fool
And I forget
Gratitude is
An everyday thing

Should I give up
My dreams and hopes
And watch the news
And believe it

I dont believe
That I am able
Dear Citizen
To be your kind

Where then, I ask
Are the healers?
The lovers, the fearless
Macabre Dansers

Maybe it is sin
Honorable Judge
To take off skin
And dance in bones*

So Lexington
Prohibition
Hunt down witches
And make your war

I dont care, really
Really, I dont care
Water on the moon
Piss in the sea

Baddies and tsk
Owe society
A debt to pay
For pain and debt

Id kill myself
Except sometimes
Life warms me up
And shows me love

Even if you dont
So at my turn
Come, let me go
Far, fast, and wide
