Lyrics

The ghost Xperiment - Illumination - 2020

When the world is falling down

In search of a cure
I found devils edge
Where hope wilts on peaceless ground
Painful certainty on my way to light
The vicious truth I have found

I´m a dying boy
As my universe contains just 10,000 days
Soon I have to go
Counting a million scars
Before i´m leaving

Wake me - on Sunday
when the world is falling down
Wake me - Sunday
when the world is burning

Heading for the verge
Wings inside the storm
Screaming prayers to the wind
Once afraid to die
´Til I found the truth
Now I´m afraid of this life

So they look like this...unexpectedly
Somehow so human like
But their gracious eyes cannot hide the truth
About their ungodly minds

Wake me - on Sunday
when the world is falling down
Wake me - Sunday
when the world is falling

It´s in me - it´s in me
So much more than you´re able to see
Once the house of the rain
Formed obsidian souls and those scars remain
The beginning of the end
Just a turning point to restart again
Let me dream - with you, Ivy
´Til your sleeping pulse wakes me up on Sunday

Wake me - on Sunday
when the world is falling down
Wake me - Sunday
when the world is burning
Wake me - on Sunday
when this world is falling down
Wake me - Sunday
when the world is burning

Under the horizon

So this is it
I´m from heaven sent
So this is it
I can see the end

The corrosion by niter in this small room by the sea
Eats two hearts in the corner - of sweet Ivy and me
This on the poison-green chalked wall
Vicarious fresco remains
And speaks a little bit sacred
Make all these kids immortal saints

Searchin' an Avalon - under the horizon
In another dimension
On the dark side of light
Searchin' an Avalon
Somewhere you will find then
All the answers and reasons
There beyond of the night
Somewhere beyond the light

I can hear children´s voices
I can feel children´s pain
Something dark has allured me
Back into the house of rain
And in front of my mind´s eye
I see little souls burn
My yellowed thoughts become clearer
I´m on the road of no return

Searchin' an Avalon - under the horizon
In another dimension
On the dark side of light
Searchin' an Avalon
And somewhere you will find then

All the answers and reasons
Somewhere beyond the light

So this is it - now this is it
So who are you - let me see the end
Three soul go - betweens waiting for their Ghostking
Tell me your name spectral heliosphere
Gideon Grace I beseech you to appear

Searchin' an Avalon - under the horizon
In another dimension
On the dark side of light
Searchin' an Avalon
And somewhere you will find then
All the answers and reasons
Somewhere beyond of Paradise

Black waltz death

Hear the psalm of your life
said the requiem player...

Angel Ivy is back in my world
And we dance in a tempest of feathers
For the rest of our lives
The rest of my time
You can´t flee forever
From the "black waltz death"

And she says: "Don´t you cry here my love
Sometimes we seem immortal
I just stole a small piece of life
Came back to you To fit broken fragments together"
Then again I must die
"I was just for your eyes"
Angels live forever - so you fly away
To the next fragile life
I hear me say...

Tell me is there a god for all spirits
Who´s collecting these sapphire animas
Save my heart - this lavender blue sky
Arcane requiem player
Give me reason why
For the sense of my life
The sense of my life, the sense of my life

I could live forever
Now I may decide
Or become dust tonight

Further searching the end of the tides
Where i face all my beautiful fears
And for no one will I turn around
I´m the requiem player
Demons hold my hand
To the "skywaterside"

The lonely psychogon

I was born in the brain of science
Epic recognitions built a ghost of me
So many years searching grand enlightment
I am just a psychogon

My churches will burn down today
I´m just a golem lord
Some form of living clay

Save me I´m lost along the way
My gods invite me for my dying day
Save me
I´m lost along the way
I´ll be there
I´ll be there
On my dying day

So my world is a big illusion
An absurd plan of gods
To build a spectre´s universe
Nothing more than a gaol of lies surrounds me
In this architecture of a ghost
I live inside the matchbox of their brain
Like a dragonfly lost in the tide´s hurricane

Save me I´m lost along the way
I'm invited for my dying day
Save me
I´m lost along the way
I´ll be there
I´ll be there
On my dying day

I´m a lonely psychogon
I am just pretended
A shakespearian tragedy
By some gods invented
A disgraceful inhuman being
See the world on my shoulders

Save me I´m lost along the way
I´ll be there for my dying day
Save me
I´m lost along the way
I´ll be there
to be reborn ...
on my dying day

Fatal arcadia

My life is bigger than yours may vengeance strike you today
This mandrake you have created will no longer obey

Your secret necromancy formed an astral energy
Condensed to visibility
All the tears in my eyes are destined to rain down here in silence
In this picture you´ve painted the beauty of agony

I´m just a visible ghost my so-called life is a lie
For me the sequel is clear all of my gods have to die

It´s said
the eternal river out of tears from paradise
Can save the entire universe of humankind

Just the will to survive
Not god´s plan
Formed my selfish religion
Only this saved my drowning in a bittersweet tragedy
I can think
And i feel
so I am
Ergo I´ll modify things
I will break down your fatal arcadia to be free

There is another day there in another time
I´m ready to refine my creation
I build another world there on the other side
A perfect universe Ivy angel

You can not control me
I´m not human nature
You inflamed my storm of energy
Now I have to kill you

Oh you
Since your mind lives in a dungeon of bones
You mortals have to
My ghost is free to write an opus of scriptural magnitude
I will forgive you

There is another day there in another time
I´m ready to refine my creation
I build another world there on the other side
A perfect universe for my angel

The ouroboros

So here I am a broken thing
A ghost - invented in human brain
Here I await my latest death
If you forget me I can never rise up again

Wait another day - don´t give up any memories of me
Sweet hurting life
Acheronian ayre guide me on moonlight coloured ways
Tonight

I feel like I´m wounded by the human stain
Please say that you hear me Ivy
Sing my lonesome winter tale for you again
And so I am leaving to a new horizon
I forgive it and now I´m syncretizing ghostworlds
I see the light - see the morning
A million nights from the turning
I need to die to transform me
On my way into the light

I´m a serpent god
For renewal I am dying to refine the matter
This substance called my life
The wisdom of a ghost is ignited by the sting of mercy in my soulwork
And this is hurting - infecting me again and again
And so am leaving to a new horizon
I forgive you - and I´m syncretizing ghostworlds

I see the light see the dawning
A million light years from the turning
I need to die to transform me
On my way into the light

To all lost saints out in the universe
Send a "Save Our Souls" to the earth beyond
All your prayers - they´re never lost in space - for all time

To all the phantoms and ghosts - far beyond humankind
They have the right to live in their own space of time
Can you really be sure if we´re human or insane illusion
I see the light see the morning
Between the tides we´re immortal
I need to die to transform me
On my way into the light
And so I am leaving into a new horizon
I forgive it and I´m syncretizing both worlds Ivy

Ghost engineers

Once we´re born in a cold world
As a fiction of three gods
We are fragile unbeings
Shaped with a stigma in our blood
As we´ve searched and keep searchin´
For the sense of our lives
Strived against our nature With no chance to survive

So deceptive the silence
So mendacious is the peace
Just a few feathery moments
Promised heavenly decease
But a small inattention
In this unlysian place
An insignificant weakness
Will push our world to disgrace

Unblessed with love
Soon will be dust
If we had another minute
If we had another day
Then we might find there is a way out
Or permission to stay
We´re a failure of science
Figures written in their play
A supernatural fiction
With imaginary agony

We were born into a feigned world
They´ve invented for us
Named us IllumiNation
T he coronation of gods

Unblessed with love
Soon will be dust
If we had another minute
If we had another day
What if we´d find there is no way out
Nor permission to stay
Unblessed with love

From pseudo-gods
They invented our sorrow
They invented our tears
Maybe out of deadly boredom
They are the ghost engineers

Krieg kennt keine Sieger (Bonus Track - Saltatio Mortis)

(Translated version in brackets behind the respective lines)

Hiding eyes behind a black veil
Crying helpless in the end
Crying for the brothers dying
For a lost and burned out land
Fatherless forsaken
When they perish in the name of God
One last tear falls in the ground
Only death is still around to save you

War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard prayer
For the dying warriors
Feigning songs of victory
In the eyes of mothers crying
I see warriors dying

Hinter Tempelmauern (Behind the walls of a temple )
Hetzt ein Priester voller Wut (A priest full of rage is stirring up hatred)
Und das Gift in seinen Worten (The poison in his words)
Wandelt sich im Krieg zu Blut (turns to blood in the war)
Söhne werden zu Soldaten (Sons become soldiers)
Beten gläubig für den Sieg (They faithfully pray for victory)
Sterben jung ohne zu leben (Die young without having lived)
Nur der Tod gewinnt im Krieg (Death is the only winner in war)

War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard prayer
For the dying warriors
Feigning songs of victory
In the eyes of mothers crying
I see warriors dying

Who is this unknown soldier
Lying burning on the ground
Sein Blut verrinnt im Wüstensand (His blood trickles into the desert sand)
Blood seeps into desert sand
Still his God has not been found
Hast du die Lüge nicht erkannt? (Haven't you recognized the lie?)
On your way for finding Eden
Your victims but your soul is bleeding
Du warst ein großer Krieger und doch singt man dir keine Lieder
(You were a great warrior, but no songs are sung about you)
A million wars with no decree
What do you see

Krieg kennt keine Sieger (There are no winners in war)
Like an unheard requiem
For the dying warriors
War is just a fray of loss
Like an unheard prayer
For the dying warriors
Feigning songs of victory
In the eyes of soldiers dying
See their mothers crying

What is war?
