Duel - Part One
The fuel for the death
By duel
For only one
If the righteous gun
Fires first - honour by
Duel

A lover - up in arms
For his long lost lady
And her charms
Winner by - Win her by
Duel

Death - so fatal
The end
It has a charm
For the righteous one
Life's begun - christian
Duel

And it feeds the duel

Battle of the Elements
Seeing through the light
Elixir of life
Lay down your heart
To be found to believe - conceiving
A belief in heaven
And as your god begins to rise

Chased the illusion
Profusing the elusive (god)
A pagan love
Lost in a circle
Chased the illusion
In an effort to relieve
The need to believe
(God) In your eyes
And as your god begins to rise

The idea
So burn in your fire
Your sacrifice
In a god feared pyre
And as your god begins to rise

Flattery with sticks and stones
Never alone with god in your home
God of stone
And as your god begins to rise

The dark years you believed - your earthly gods
Before your eyes
Their existence cannot deceive
And as your god begins to rise

And the battle begins...
The crack in the sky - another god cries
Beating upon his scorched earth

Around the circle
Dancing in the circle of fire

Sacrifice to fire (god)
Fed by the howling (god)
Incinerated ashes to earth (god)

To ashes - to dust
Lost in the anger

...Stands a man - a book in his hand
Sacrilegious seeking sanctity (and as your gods begin to rise)
Sacrilegious seeking sanctity (the christian disguise)
Sacrilegious seeking sanctity (the christian disguise)
Sacrilegious seeking (the christian disguise)
Money

Stagestruck
The curtain calls
As I fall
(Glazed your eyes)
Subject change in the box
It hides the grief as the knife drops
As the knife drops

From your heaven - the worlds our stage
Romance lived by repetition
Freedom - in our prison of passion

Stage-struck-struck-stage

Character/actor/character
Confuse the real me
(Two souls rest within this breast)
The swords of passion - the words pierce your heart
As the victim of fashion - the reputation's to live my part
Unleash the character

From your heaven - the worlds our stage
Romance lived by repetition
Freedom - in our prison of passion
Stage-struck-struck-stage

Stage born stage bred
Soul torn stage dead

Unexpected Guest
As the clock strikes three - but no afternoon teas
Cause this is morning - all wealth is yawning
And you dream and you dream
Oblivious to my scheme

Who sets the test? for your unexpected guest
And as your unexpected guest - your hospitality
It was the best

In these moonlight hours - see me cower (into the shadows)
In these moonlight hours - see me stare (into the shadows)
Black stares back
Voyeur stranger (running free)

And still you dream - and still he dreams
And still you dream - and still she dreams
And still you dream - and still he dreams

Who sets the test? for your unexpected guest
And as your unexpected guest - your hospitality
It was the best

For your unexpected guest
A midnight surprise only for your eyes
Your eyes your eyes - it's my disguise
As your guest - your unexpected
Guest who!

In the mirror - behind the trees
Behind the mirror - inside
Look in the mirror - facade or facsimile

Sit pretty in your place
Abandoned loyalty for misery

Dresden (Unexpected Guest Single B-side)
Dresden baby
Where's the lesson to learn
No source for reference
All your evidence burnt
Ashes - cinders they fall
But no midnight deadlines
For your ball
Because your waiting
Oh still waiting

No witness left
The walls now deaf
No witness left
To testify
To testify
Who'll testify
Against your warcrimes

And they're waiting
Oh still waiting
Feeling for the cause
Hands raised please
The lemmings fall
To take the call
To sleep with ease

Stranger in danger
Calls aid to his side
He calls for a good samaritan
A protection of pride

The war, the spoils
From cold turns to boil
And we're waiting
Oh still waiting

The epitaph
The charred terrain
The board wiped clean
To try and start
They'll start again
Playing your wargames

And we're waiting
Oh still waiting
They're feeling
For the cause
Hands raised please
The lemmings fall
To take the call
To sleep with ease

1980 Germany
Time moves on
Predictions proved
Wrong again
1980 Germany
And I'm still waiting

Duel - Part Two
She wheeled and she dealed -
He squandered and stealed
He laid his life -
Upon the duel

Between the eyes - lies a hole
To be fed - a circle of led
Hot from the gun - the champion
For the day
The cruel way of the duel
Of the duel...of the duel

One to one
Hear to heart
Man to man
Fool to fool
In the duel

Shattered
Eyes steal your hold
In confidence control
Spine thrill glass filled
Glass full satanic filled
Dream flatter fear shatter

Our ouija ja JA ouija ha ha we

Push the glass - so bold
Fingertip control
Destiny seems so clear
Seance see no fear

Our ouija JA JA ouija ha ha oui

We're so happy in our future control
Unleash the fools so bold
Into the void fates fall
At the spirits call hearts turn cold
Lose control to a satanic hold

Our ouija JA JA ouija ha ha oui

Into dante's depths you're sold
Your soul medium so cold
The glass - once so clear
Now stands frosted fear

Hermes steer - your clairvoyant fear
Dream flatter ice shatter

Last in the House of Flames
Hubble-bubble
Toil and troubled
House burns
Bodies Bubble

Will you run? Do you hide?
Or burn inside
When your last in the house of flames

Inferno hell .............. Out of luck
Lesson learnt ...........Self destruct
Unpleasant smell...... Spare no grief
Flesh burns ............. .To catch a thief

Will you run? Do you hide?
Or burn inside
When your last in the house of flames
Burnnnnn

Can you run?........Homeward
Can you hide?......Heavenbound
Climb.....................When your house
Outside................ Burns down

So smart to act the clown
When your house burns down
Last in the house of flames
Lost in the house of flames
Well you can laugh - but you won't
When you're last!

Sexual
In confusion
A purpose in life
The choice - The problem
A husband for a wife

Sexual

Silicone's in demand
Curvature et al
Hormones for your tea
Lifes so flexible

Sexual
Sexual

Female in command
Temptation leads the fool
The male dilemma
Condemned predictable

Sexual

Oh mary's in a fluster
Her knickers in the air
She could never understand
How could she ever dare?
To expose her inclinations -
Her passionate flair
Expose a la sexual affair

Decadence
In moonlight
Danced through the night
Dancing in the white light
Freedom from conditioned trance
So stand so grand in decadence

And the white light
Danced through your stomach
Pulls tight
Tight pulls the chords of your empty heart

In decadence
The dance of decadence

Defiant stance - a new decade
Of decadence
Realise your personal destiny
Fighting the fat and prosperous
Brood of mediocrity
Once safe in its prosperity
Now burns

In decadence
The dance of decadence

The cry of truth - a state of mind -
................................Call it youth
Take up your part in the play
Decapitate the day
White eyed - hatchets high - luddite like

In decadence
Decadancing - you can be your own king
You can be your own king
In the dance of decadence
Deca-deca-deca-decadance

For Madmen (Only)
Seeing through bitter eyes
Pride is prime of youth
His blackness - is his vanity
To side - the side of truth
He knows - he'll always lose
He's lost before
A boy with a grievance

A man with a grudge to bear
Society seen to destroy all he's been
Vietnam taught to kill
Dormant behind the will
He still retains the will
And he will

The scarcity of pain
In contentment rich boy realize
No pleasure - is pleasure
Till he's fed by its name
Nothing to lose
Still less to gain

Nameless, Faceless
Walking corpse
I met murder on the way
He wore a mask like today

Around every corner
A conscience cries
Struggling for breath in a vacuum
Faced with the cold gaping wound

For madmen only
Know where contentment lies
For madmen only

A coolness knows no conscience
Put away with finality
In the high impassioned pit of murder
Conscience free - slit accuracy

For madmen only
Never search for happiness
For madmen only
Only pleasure

Everybody is that crime
Walking the thin straight line
The tightrope of tragedy

For madmen only
Know where contentment lies
For madmen only

The great american dream
... The decline of civilization
...... Echoed in the victim's scream

......... I met murder on the way
............ He wore a mask like today

Twist in the Tale (Sexual single B-side)
Marching side by side
Through the yellow pages
A hundred thousand million eyes
Accept the deception
Of times gone by

Nostalgia, petty chant
Aphrodisiac
Time and time again
But it won't be the same
Twist in the tale

Nostalgia, memories and history
And it's clear to me
Here today, gone tomorrow
And I'll show you no sorrow

History repeats it's repetition
It survives, it has no competition
Wanting more, feed on war
And this military mentality
Tightens the noose, that's holding me
The twist in the tale

Oh what could be learnt
If we'd watch rome burn
And Paris fall
Berlin so thirties fine
But not the best of time
For difference, for difference
You feed on air

I'm aware but don't care
A time for change
My menacing mentality will
Free the nose that's holding me

The twist in the tale
Twist and shout
Twist and shout ..... Shout and be heard
Twist and shout ..... Your ideas, they're not absurd
Twist and shout ..... But different
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xDifferent
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xDifferent
Twist in the tale hear the screams
Twist in the tale
