Initiation
**Instrumental**

The Lost Souls
If you can't stand upon the water I will see you on the ocean floor. When you blink do you
only find the misery between the lines? Then take my hand and walk with me. Come to
me, your sanctuary, I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted. If you feel fine, then
give it just a little time I'm sure you'll contract my disease. Look what you've done to me
now, you've made me perfect. If you can't stand upon the earth then I will meet you on the
other side. When you blink do you only find the misery weighs down your eyes? Then take
my hand and sleep with me. Take my hand I'll be everything to you. Take my hand I'll take
everything from you. I will seep under your skin. I will. I will hold onto your heart. I will.

The Nephilim
Swing through sadness, tears of joy. Curse the sunlight. Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness, smoke so coy. Smile injection. Serum of a will destroyed. The
seasons change without me. I remain in shadows growing wings. The spirit song still
surrounds me, in refrain, in shadows growing wings. Like an angel with two broken
wings, reach the sky again. Like a devil, meant for better things, I will find my place on
high.

Ever and a Day
Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose. Lie in the darkness, I'm slowly
drowned to sleep with nothing left to lose. Three tears I've saved for you. I'd retrace the steps
that lead me here but nothing lives behind me. So I lie in this field bathed in the light that
loves me, with nothing left to lose. Three tears I've saved for you. Will you be my beloved?
Will you help me to get through? Will you be my destruction? Will you help me to be
through?

Sacrifice Theory
Hear one thousand screams. Hear one thousand voices. A solitary echo. Feel one
thousand pains, but one is receiving a bloody invitation. Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life flow? Feel one thousand lost sinking into soft skin. Ingest rejuvenation.
One to consume, one to renew. Demanded invitation. I offer grace, I offer blood. I offer
everything till my heart is crystal clear. Do you want to feel the warmth? To taste the life? I
want to taste the life to taste the life flow.

Of Greetings and Goodbyes
Now ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin, as I go under please tuck me in. Make me
invisible. This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction. Enter all
monsters let us twist another fairy tale. Go kill the lights, we'll glow till morning comes.
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone. Then we go under. The beauties are sleeping as
fruit just rots away. Today go hungry. Let it begin. Make me invincible. There was a
weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping. Deep within divinity let's star another
secret show. No need to worry it is just another monster. No need to fear here in the
secret show. No need to worry I am just another monster. In you, I'll see me, in the secret
show.

Smile
Overwhelmed with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly, now I have come to be
the walking enmity. Assimilate into a culture of post morality, from what I've seen, I hate
humanity. Rot with repulsion. I'll write the world a brand new song. Look upon your bleak
creation, but is it truly me that's to be the human blasphemy? I'll set the world on fire and,
in burning light I'll write my first love song and I will feel warmth. Hide your eyes in
heaven, in the lies. Believe. Relieve. I'll end the world tonight. Overwhelmed with a deep
repulsion for sights seen so commonly, now I have come to be a walking enmity, for
humanity, the human blasphemy, I'll end the world tonight.

Dream of Waking
I feel it washing over me, the slow poisonous tide. Pins and needles dance on me.
Sickness undefined. Now I'm afraid to face the sky. Please someone hear my haunted
cries. Please them waken me. With eyes sewn shut I still can see all that is surrounding
me. I end up somewhere, somewhere between... between a dream and motionless
reality, will I forever life? I feel binding so smoothly. I see myself below. I feel it gnawing,
eating me. Poisonous and slow. My mind it speeds. My voice has died. God let me make
the faintest cry. Opened up and for the taking, just one touch and I'll be yours. Opened up
wide for the breaking. Just one touch and I'll be yours. What's on the other side of the
mirror? To cry, I try, to break the static keeping me here in between.

A Story at Three
Again and again they blend into one, my father the morning pushes through moonlight
love. So what's sleep? Sleep. I'm tired, so tired, but it seems that there's someone here
with me. We are the wakeful, wry, watchful. We're awaiting. Deathless ones. A story at
three with the shrillest of cries. My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes.
I hear the morning choir sing to me their elegy. So beautiful. They sing to me their elegy.
Requiem.

The Days of the Phoenix
I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers.
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling. Beckoning to sleep offering a
dream. The words were as mystical as purring animals. The circle of rage the ghosts on
the stage appeared. The time was so tangible I'll never let it go. Ghost stories handed
down, reached secret tunnels below. No one could see me. I fell into yesterday. Our
dreams seemed not far away. I want to stay. I fell into fantasy. The girl on the wall always
waited for me and she was always smiling. The teenage death boys, the teenage death
girls..and everyone was dancing. Nothing could touch us then no one could change us then,
and everyone was dancing. Nothing could hurt us then, no one could see us then,
and everyone was dancing. Everyone was dancing.

Catch a Hot One
Let's tap your heart so we can paint the walls and see if anybody likes the tone or the
pain. The hungry eyes waiting for life flash, now they're gonna see it. Open your veins so
we can make a pool and bathe and see if anyone complains of the stain. Let's strip you
down so we can see you old scars. Now you're gonna feel it. Show me how to shine now.
Have you ever turned to dust? I saw an insect learn to fly; its form was scorned. Have you
ever seen the kingdom of the flys? I saw it stay in sovereignty. Have you lost the sense of
touch? Have you ever turned to dust? Let's lift you up so we can see how fast you fall. We
always thought that you could fly; now you'll crawl. The lack of loyalty you thought you once
felt, now you're gonna feel it. Now show me how to shine.

Wester
I can feel you waiting for me as the sun retreats to the hills and I, beneath the blanket of a
burning sky, wrap myself within. Embraced by dead leaves as the rain leaves trails of
black down my face, I creep through the twilight to that hidden place beyond the lonely. I'll
meet you tonight in the whispers when no one's around. Nothing can stop us now.
Tonight in the whispers where we won't be found. I can feel you dreaming of me and the
time when our steps are retraced and I creep through the twilight to that hidden place,
beyond the lonely, I'll meet you. Beneath a dream, lost in a dream tonight. Smile.

6 to 8
Six figures enter; they've come to destroy the world. They've called together this storm
almost every night. I awake in another place. A familiar voice with a stranger's face
speaks more unheard words. What new friends will the day bring? One for one thousand
acquainted. What new home will the night bring? When it all comes down you just throw
the bones. On the way I saw five hours of sleep but your fire makes it all worth while. On
the way I wrote words for you to keep. On the way, I saw myself. Lost myself along the
way.

The Despair Factor
Along the path where the stream is talking, I breathe the mist and continue walking. The
wood it whispers in a language of it's own. As a sigh escaped my lips I feel the light
caress of fingertips that steal away the breath and leave me on my own, waiting by the
stairs. Waiting, I despair. Do I hear the hollow sound, footsteps resounding on this frozen
ground, or the familiar disappointment of the echoes of my own? Somehow I ended up
here in between, where there is always the comfort of knowing I'll never be seen when I
fall. I wait for just one touch and I fall. Weightless, endless, faithless, I'll adore you. A
single touch before I fade. Painless let me pass through.

Morningstar
I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing through the melting walls. Who will be the first to
begin their fall? Or will we become one? Am I the star beneath the stairs? Am I a ghost
upon the stage? Am I your anything? I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before
descent and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me. And I don't want
to die tonight; will you believe in me? And I don't want to fall into the light. Will you wish
upon? Will you walk upon me? I don't want to die tonight. Will you.
