Sol Invictus

I raised the hammer I tolled the bell For I picked a flower A rose in Hell O, I deceived With my tales to tell Then I picked a flower A rose in Hell With trinkets I bartered I buy and sell Then I picked a flower A rose in Hell I embraced the tho...

I put my back against an oak Thinking it was some trusty tree But first it bent and then it broke And so did my false love, to me I put my hand into a bush Thinking some sweetest flower to find I pricked my finger to the bone Leaving the sweetest flower...

How soon our dreams fade How soon our tomorrows become yesterdays And love, for sure, will not stay She'll turn her face, and walk away But above us the Sun (x4) Through my fingers, the sands will flow Into our lives cold winds will blow Friends and lo...

So this is the West, a land we're meant to defend Of happy slaves, who will babble to the end Beneath the towers, where financiers roost But above them the sun That sings out an ancient truth Against, the modern world On a hill that leads down to the sea...

In the garden by the wall Something moved and someone called Why is it hollow beneath the stones? Why is Mother crying, on her own? An english garden in the rain Somenthing hidden, and something strange Don't go walking in the woods Yes Father dear, you're un...

Field of spears: Our creation And for our crimes there be damnation The blood of the past, it does bathe us The fingers point to blame and claim us And without love, we are lost Believe me, we are lost Without love, we are dust Believe me, we are dust...

Descending then ascending, the fall then the call Climb ever upward to join the world once more See the serpents rising, angels on a chain Come to meet together, come to make their claim Black Easter Hear the chants of old powers, the weak fall on their...

God made me Heavens, the Sea, the Earth. O'er Chaos endless power displayed, And from the dust - the dust of Earth - Both man and woman in His image made. When Adam was by Eve deceived, And ate the fruit which God forbade They both the doom of death re...

For his rune and for his gold How easily the flock is steered By hands so fine, cruel, and kind Hands that point us down the years Down the years The power of gold, or even God above Awash in blood in history's mud With assassins' bullets and martyrs'...

The days fall like rain, on we fools and thieves I stand at the cliff's edge, mocked by the sea The memories of lost loves, or that never will be With the turn of the tide, or the turn of the key Some are brave, some are scared All face the fangs that are bar...

Lorelei whispers as the river bends Love letters, they never had the chance to send A German requiem Everything is tearing, as there's no one here to mend Broken windows and marks you cannot spend A German requiem A prince in his castle, a thief in h...

Hedda Gabler Had a very funny face Tired of waiting Tired of the human race Like her brother Sitting in the library Reading how dear Adolph Was going to save all Germany Hedda Gabler She'll go down in history Hedda Gabler Down in all her misery Lik...

And here am I, above this world A face in flames and a knowing smile Go dream your dreams and tread your paths It all ends the same, alone in the dark And here am I drunk and bored Even I don't want to drink any more And here you are drunk and scared Y...

Here we stand, on some lost and lonely shore All that's left to us, empty thrones and broken swords Shall we watch the sun throw itself into the sea? Shall we open our veins and bleed? Here we stand alone, empty days Here we stand alone, never saved Se...

And in the days of to come, The sound of iron and the sound of drums. And in the days of to come, The earth shall seethe and the clouds will bleed. And in the days of to come, Will we be drowned in a sea of scum? And in the days of to come, Will man spe...

The only things that are guaranteed Are the gifts of hate and the gifts of greed All our dreams are sent to deceive Some for you and some for me In God we trust, but not too much In this world with all its sorrows Joy, it seems, is only ever borrowed...

We cheat on our friends with rhyme and reason As surely as the leaves change with the seasons For love or money, or sometimes both Let's hope this fire burns without smoke In the garden; in the rain You no longer loved him I whispered your name In the...

Give us our bread and bury our dead And kneel to the cross on the wall Whether burnt at the stake or drunk at the wake Just kneel to the cross on the wall We've original sin, but we might just get in If we beg to the cross on the wall It's rattle your sabre an...

Hear the north wind cry the song of the scythe So long live death See the best drowned out by the mass So long live death The modern age a game of charades So long live death The ancient dead return to watch the cities burn So long live death The serpe...

He went looking for Europe, took love in his hand With eyes of sunlight, like burning sand Went to the west, rode to the east Heard of life and honour, looked into the eyes of the beast Stood in a city, in the gold house of whores Said: ''I'm looking for...

Here we go again: the same old lies again The empty words again, the pigs can fly again From Wall Street to your heart Neon Hollywood lights the dark, Hear the bleating of the sheep At the jokes of a media creep And there's nothing I can say See a world...

We sit here waiting But I know who will call I know who will visit No one, no one at all No gods No gods No gods Anymore On the platform at the station But our train will never come Stranded in this waiting room With a sky without a sun No gods...

What figures these, who stand and who waits? What dreams are dreamt, by all the fates This web that binds us, to jerk and to twist That makes us dance, and makes us twitch How easy to lie, to smile and to kiss The corpses laugh and start to jig She cut...

Our Lady Of The Wild Flowers A flower falls from heaven through a doorway to this world. Into a world of sorrows comes a face so pale Our lady of the wild flowers stretches out her hands Our lady of the wild flowers, mend this broken land Our lady of...

Untouched by the sunlight Or the moonlight I stand like a statue As the stars bring their light Then I saw your face I looked in your eyes With a smile to die for Even the angels sighed But then you look away Then you look away You say that it's love You s...

Never care for when you do, you'll wear the chains and follow the rules Of love's dark game, of love's dark game—of tears and rain Cut out your heart and throw it to the dogs, better this than to face the loss In love's dark game, in love's dark game—of te...

Turn your face to the wall You no longer wish to see Stroke a hair trigger You're now the devil's steed Descend into Aqua Morta You no longer wish to be Gulp down tears of the siren You're now the devil's steed You climbed the high tower But now it's...

Beneath the sun, a peasant heart A land where bitter armies marched But here even serpents have their day Crosses and flowers bloom and stay Past our pain and our losses when we climb the hill of crosses March through death to where love is When you cli...

I'll meet you where the moonlight falls I'll meet you where the statues stand I'll meet you beneath the falling walls We await the gods to show their hand Amongst the ruins Feel the warmth of the unconquered sun Light the torches, the swords of the sun He loo...

I see a cross, so rotten and sad I see a flag, a bloody torn rag Oh, the games we play Oh, the lies we tell Oh, the hearts that are broken Between heaven and hell And the stones will fall, never to rise And the world will shrug, and close her eyes In this bl...

The heavens open, and bloody rain does fall On the good and the bad, on the rich and the poor Insane laughter splits the heavens Spits on the prayers of the masses Is God in his heaven, is all right with the world? Is God in his heaven, wrapped in a...

Here we stand, stand here like trees in winter Hurt each other with words, with words of splinters All our dreams will melt like the snow Unknown, unfelt by the herd below But they say that love will come one day But I think we might see idiots are easil...

We are the dead men Walk towards the church. We are the dead men Walk behind the hearse. We are the dead men laughing at the wake. We are the dead men Who will cut the cake? We built the ships For war and for peace We built that church In whose gard...
