YOUR PROMISE (English)
Arrows shoot forth from your eyes
The kind of pain that hypnotizes me
Piercing to my very core
Shatter my illusions mortally
Oh, I know better, don't we all?
Yet I cannot deny the call of your promise
Wound me, rend me end to end
And in your image build me back again
Do the things that you must do
To prove to me the words you say are true
Oh, I know better, don't we all?
Yet I cannot deny the call
You can take me, shake me, make me
You can break me more or less in two
I'll believe you and I'll need to
For I have no will when I'm with you
Your promise to me

VAMPYR (Utley)
"Lust is blood and blood is living, look into my eyes", she said,
"Take this gift that I am giving and you will never die"
And I am falling under and I am crawling underground
And in my ears the thunder of a heartbeat slowing down
Flashing white against the darkness/Darting victim eyes
Scent of fear, intoxication/Can you feel the passion rise?
And I am falling under and I am crawling underground
And in my ears the thunder of a heartbeat slowing down
...Bleed...
Lust is blood and blood is living/Look into my eyes
Take this gift that we are giving and you will never die
And you are falling under for we have come to take you down
We move inside a shadow and you will never hear a sound
...Don't be afraid...

3rd GHOST (English)
Look around you, seem familiar?
From the look of you, you've been here before
Up the garden path you led yourself
Where you said you would be nevermore
Conversations in your mind cause you to the truth be blind
But don't stop listening
You must not miss a thing
You're bound to your fantasies
You pray they'll never cease
Lonely loner in your single bed
Into your pillow your passions pour
You give yourself to phantom dreams
Then wonder why there is no more

SECRET DESIRE (Utley)
Tell me your name and I'll tell you a secret
There is no end to the things we could share
I have a place in my heart where I'll keep it
We'll fly as close to the sun as you dare
How can I open your eyes?
This is my secret desire
There is a place in my dreams I could take you
Somewhere that this cruel world cannot find
Sleep here in my arms and no one will wake you
Leaving our loneliness so far behind
How can I open your eyes?
This is my secret desire
Tear you to pieces to quiet my hunger
Bathing in blood as we blindly embrace
Feeling your claws in my back as it's breaking
Tasting the salt from the tears on your face
How can I open your eyes?
This is my secret desire
Forget your world and its lies
You are my secret desire
Desire

THE DESERTS OF YOUR EYES (English)
I wonder what are you thinking, dear, to bring me to a place like this?
This place where destinies are forged and fled, this place where once the mighty bled
I cannot understand the trembling of your hand
What ugly fire have you fed?
You were my shining Sheik of Araby, but your sword cuts two ways
You protected me from all foes but you, and your lies taught me what's true
Imagine all the times I sought the deserts of your eyes and saw oases of blue
My first and perfect love, I will never leave you
My sad and ancient one, I will never deceive you
Come away and cling to my love, I'll devote my life to you
My love is only for you, my love is only for you
I awake with sand on my tongue, but my thirst is for you
Although you left me to die in this place, my one mirage is your face
Is it fate that your love turned to hate, as I am easily replaced?
Our love burned hot as the desert wind that blew the stars to the sky
But the wind brings a chill in the night and tears of hate blur my sight
I wander hopefully in this blind and barren sea, for now revenge is my right
My shy and selfless one, I will never abuse you
I would tear my heart from my chest merely to amuse you
Come away and run to my love, I will always protect you
My love is only for you, my love is only for you
I approach you with fire in my eyes, I have surprise on my side
May this night be an end to your lies
I watch the light leave your eyes
I watch your hands clutch the innocent sands
I hear your death choke your sighs
My cruel and thoughtless one, I can never forget you
My sly and shiftless one, I will ever regret you
I am coming to claim my love, I can never forgive you
My shame is only for you, my shame is only for you

Game

GAME (Utley/English)
Swiftly walking on a winter's night / I feel a passion so profound
Something's moving somewhere out of sight / Something so unlike the stillness all around
Her limbs grow heavy as we cast our spell / One question burns with hellish light
The ancient cat & mouse we play so well / If I should sleep the sleep of life tonight
Come, my little one, don't fear the cold / Their shadow darkens every stair
In its diamond heart lies wealth untold / Their crowded heartbeats echo through the air
Come & join us in our sad refrain / I'm drugged with beauty & with pain
Quench the thirst that burns inside our veins / The demon dance, the cold November rain
Come to me / And I will never know
Come to me / The deathly peace beneath the snow
See the fear that burns behind her eyes / I look to visages of white
Silly things are so afraid to die / They blind me with the wan winter moonlight
The wind will swallow up your dying screams / I rise to follow in their way
Then you'll see that nothing's as it seems / There's much to learn & many games to play
Come, my little one, don't fear the cold / Our shadow darkens every stair
In its diamond heart lies wealth untold / Our crowded heartbeats echo through the air
Come & join us in our sad refrain / Come join us in our sad refrain
Feel the thirst that burns inside your veins / Come join our dance & revel in the rain
Come to me / And we will never know
Come to me / The deathly peace beneath the snow

HARMONIC (English)
I have never known the anger that you've shown to me
& I deserve your sympathy
Yeah, I deserve you sympathy
How dare you condemn me?
It has been a while since I've seen an honest smile
I know I caused your dream to break
And though I caused your dream to break
Your coldness I can't take
I can hear you, you know
I can hear every single word you let go
Snap out of your spell
We don't have to take this hell
And we don't have to grow apart
We do not have to grow apart
Don't let our ending start
I can feel you, you know
I can feel every single feeling you show
I still need you, you know
I still need everything I needed before

WHY WON'T YOU HOLD MY HAND? (English)
When I take you to the picture show
Nobody else in the place
Something about you that I'd like to know
More than the side of your face
I really love you, want to be with you
Why won't you hold my hand?
So tell me, baby, I don't have rabies
Why won't you hold my hand?
While we're staring at the lunar glow
Our features all trimmed in light
My affection for you starts to grow
Now do I look like I bite?
Why don't you want me, why must you taunt me?
Why won't you hold my hand?
You make me crazy, are you just lazy?
Why won't you hold my hand?
It's really killin' that I'm so willin'
Why won't you hold my hand?
Said you were tryin', or were you lyin'
Why won't you hold my hand?

JOKE'S ON ME (English)
Nobody ever said, but I'd always known
It doesn't matter with whom you live, you die alone
If that seems unfair, you haven't got a prayer
Don't waste your prayer
Who was it said "Let the lover beware"?
Do you ever see even half the pain you cause?
Silence is more mighty than even teeth or claws
If you shiver in the night, remember you were right
You were right
And I hope your victory keeps you warm tonight
How long can you play your way until you have to pay?
What words can I say to make you let me stay?
And though my love is comedy
I guess the joke's on me

SHE'S SO COOL (Utley)
See, there's this girl, and she's so, so very fine
She makes the cars crash in my head
She makes me think of ice & cats & candlelight
She makes me dream of black & red
Enchante, mademoiselle
This girl's so cool that I put on my coat & gloves
Whenever she walks in the room
But I'm no fool, 'cause I found out just what she loves
I know what makes her heart go
Boom boom boom boom
She's so cool
Now I never meant to go & lose my mind
But now I'm all in love with her
It's another massacre for Saint Valentine
She scratches me & I go
Purrrrrrrrrrrr
She's so cool

Throw It Away

THROW IT AWAY (Utley)
Wisdom sits upon the wailing wall
And sings to those among us who have ears to hear her
But I don't hear anything at all
The air is full of daggers & it hurts to listen
Speak to me in love or not at all
Other hearts than mine are broken by your anger
Every time you cut me with your words
You cut yourself, you kill yourself
I'm begging you to throw it away
The world is getting colder every day
Girl, you gotta throw it away
You hold in your hands a precious stone
It glows with righteous anger & it cuts like diamond
It will pull you under all alone
Let it fall & shatter, open up your hands
& throw it away
Your heart is getting colder every day
Girl, you gotta throw it away
Throw it away

Tumble Down

TUMBLE DOWN (English)
Tumble down onto the bed
Shake the sleep from your head
Close your eyes, don't make a sound
Feel the mystery closing 'round
Round and round and round you go
Everywhere the wind will blow
Leaving all you've ever known behind
On this journey you'll explore what's behind your mind's darkest door
Ecstasies you never knew are lying in wait for you
Tumble down a darkened shaft
Hear your laughter long after you've laughed
Fight against your granite grin
See the blood seep through your skin
Spinning, spinning, on a wheel
Not in control of how you may feel
Who's to say what's not and what's really there?
On this journey you'll explore what's behind your mind's darkest door
Ecstasies you never knew are running to hide from you
Tumble down as though you're dead
Shake the flies from your head
Close your eyes and don't look down
Feel the sky turn upside down
Down and down and down you go
Flesh melting from the fire below
Leaving all you'll ever know behind
On this journey you'll explore what's behind your mind's darkest door
Ecstasies you never knew are slowly devouring you
