Amora Demonis

|
Distant attraction, uninvited gravity
A witch looking for power
In a silent storm
Human magnets, black magic puppets
A Luciferian daydream now
Walks by your side...
Demon friends precious help only lasting for a while
The hag beyond the schoolgirl is running out of charm
Letting go missed from her cards
Misplaced pride pushing too far
She won't lose without trying
Some nocturnal rites...
Miles away near another dimension
Forces playing with the Prince, the Princess
And the witch they feared a few lives ago
There's no gain, there's no loss
Says the first cosmic law
You can always spit in the air
But get ready for rain to fall...
Amora Demonis - Needs some spit for the spell
Amora Demonis - To lock the prince into hell
Claavicula Nox - He takes the cup to his lips
Claavicula Nox - Drinking from where she spits
Orgasma Tenebras - The gate is wide open...
Amora Demonis - Now he's locked into hell
Amora Demonis - No escape from this cell
Claavicula Nox - Simply nowhere to hide
Claavicula Nox - Dearly missing his bride
Amora Divinus - Broke the spell
For darkness is drinking it's power
From the sea of weakness in our souls
But once you're aware, now that you beware
This eternal loop is over
You can let the light shine
On your many lives to come...

Carved in Rust
00:23
|

|
From the highest seat on survival row
I raise my fist to the clowns... below!
With everlasting smiles you shouldn't trust
I saw them distributing lies
They carved in rust...

Still They Laugh
02:22
|
|||
|
This ship of fools
On their faces is gently floating
But meanwhile in their souls
The flag is already sinking
But still they laugh...
The clown is now the artistic king
Meet the new clown, he's so funny you'll choke!
Cheap entertainment where class is lacking
We're paying big bucks for a low-profile joke!
And still they laugh...

The Second Round
04:31
|
|||
|
Still I don't smile or laugh with style
Why should I force It?
Never had friends in the snake pit
(There's only clown shit)
Since I can't see why I should be
One of these turkeys
Mouth wide open to their swallowed fears
(Still ending in tears)
Yes I'm aware and do I care
What disturbs my ears
Is not so awful to people raised
(In empty spheres)
Another flavor of the week
Another mount without a peak
Another face never seeked
Fed on bones without meat
(And) It's only the second round
Still we have to slam a clown
(But first) Let's get unbound
Shall see a clown down on the ground...
Global miscontentment is everywhere
Robot-like waitresses with purple hair
Serving us junkyfied eggs in white plates
Rusty smiles displayed with glory and grace
Surveyed relation
With D.N.A. correction... corruption
I can't understand
Why I should buy made-up needs
The law of supply and demand is not what It used to be
A mutant fed on mouldy bread
Is still knocking at the windows of my head
But I always had the firm intention
Of letting him out!
Still I won't smile...
Or laugh with style...
Still I can't see why I should be...
(...down on the ground)

Shades of Blue
05:30
|

|
Falling down on this land
With strong cards high in hand
Led to the early extinction
Of a spark blessed by creation
Some details about her look
Weren't playing by the book
Plainly living something small
She wasn't acting like a star at all
If you could see her face by moonlight
Soft and pale you'd found her all night
Jet black hair providing contrast
Sleeping beauty made to last...
When the sun shows up in her eyes
Some shades of blue gets you mesmerised
But when you ask her what she dreamed of
Her lovely lips stay closed, by reality's bluff
Physical charms always grabbing attention
Aren't such a blessing in some situations
Too many eyes scanning her body
Destroyed this innocence
That makes you move freely
So she became a charming lady
Locked up in her own pleasant looking cell
Far away from ambition and expectation
She brought herself peace, by procreating
Living in the woods of fantasy
Building a tower of insecurity
Shades of blue mesmerising

...Action!
09:43
|
|||
|
And now please welcome
another special guest
From tiny A to monster double D
in quite a visual fest
Ladies and mainly gentlemen
Let's give a hand to modern aesthetics
Partly goddess, all woman
Perfect blend of flesh and plastic
Expertly licking her lovely lips
Down to these communicating hips
She will invade your brain
An embarrassing stain
She will grab your attention
By details way too hot to mention
No rules! no holds barred ... action!
No breaks! 'Till complete satisfaction!
To all sleeping beauties made to last
A hurried one is fading fast
Like a crab in your imagination
She will crawl under your reason

Nameless
10:28
|

|
I can't believe what I learned today
Seems like this peace aspiring world I knew
Is tired of being that way
A crazy man
is offering the world his madness
Along with hatred and power comes
The prophesied anti-Christ
What a perfect timing
For blood thirsty fanatics
As our society is filled
With young, wild and angry worthless men
Who could be fighting soon enough
In the name of honour and freedom
Coming from a nice place
Where nobody's really mean
Where national security's only for ice storms
Never really cared for
But the cloud is growing fast
And light's so precious to me
So is my destiny...
Should I run to the woods?
Let the train cut my legs?
Say goodbye to the goods for me
In the name of a cause way beyond
My control and concept of evolution
Always tried not to be
Some nameless number acting unconsciously
Couldn't stand to renounce to myself
And wear that number on my chest
And let them ship my body-bag home
And as the world's frustration finally unleashed
As we mourn our brother's loss
In this futile search for power
Long after the pain is temporarily relieved
We will still be facing one another
And as the last child will rise from the ashes
As he'll look around to wave the body-bags
One last goodbye
Long after the tears had grown into flowers
He will still be facing someone someday...
A single man without children
First sacrifice to conscription
Only facing one side of the picture
Am I the only man?
Deeply feeling love for life
and living my life in love?
Now that as a man you can cry
Could you stand to turn back time?
To live and die on a battlefield...

The Second Coming
04:27
|
|||
|
Crucified by doubts
Reflected by each and everyone
I've found sanctuary
Beyond the walls of your reality
Downward ascension
Flesh and spirit lost
Waiting for answers
Asking for some kind of change
Lately I've been painting a lot
Of visions on both sides of the walls
The light I keep inside of me
Is the sun to any Christmas tree
And it looks like very soon
I could enter...
The Second coming of myself
Let's see,
Let's wonder why your smile is so far behind
The evidence speaks for itself
You may have no choice
But to meet your life
Downward ascension
Flesh and spirit lost
Waiting for answers
Asking for some kind of change

Watercourse Hymn
10:12
|
|||
|
(i. Supra-celestial drops of water)
...instrumental
(ii. Tiny Ventures)
Round goes the cycle of life
As clouds obscure the sun
Nature's fears are all gone
The sound and the melody
A flow of peace and eternity
As purification extends it's power
Over a small army of critters
Cornered by drops of water
Leaving their black armour
Ready to surrender
Feel these emotions running deep
Enter the heart of nature
Transcendent music everywhere
Enter my heart while I'm pure
In many steady streams
The mighty mountain bleeds
Into the watercourse she feeds
At last the river breathes
And it's power unleashes
Listen to the harmony of nature
Witness the nature of harmony
(iii. The sea)
An old spirit dancing through the river
Slowly scratching the shores
Ever changing landscape
Adapting it's line to the chords...
Celebrating life's newfound shape
Celebrating life's newfound state
Loving the end
When things are said
The watercourse reaches the sea
And in a short moment lived
The soul ascends above the body
(iv. Beyond)
Held by a mere silver rope
Defying ways of suffering gravity
Divinely higher beyond any hope
Divinely higher without any dope
Sparks of light floating all around
Only gentleness is here to be found
Ancient entities talking without a sound
About the funny things they saw down on the ground
And like an oily spirit sharing his members
With supra-celestial drops of water
He melts impurities, taken from a material plane
Into parts of infinity uniting gods to men
