Lyrics:
THE ADULT TOYS
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THOSE WORDS YOU WANNA HEAR
SO LONG YOU STARTED TO HATE ME
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THOSE WORDS I WANT TO TELL
SO LONG I STARTED TO HATE YOU
THERE IS A VICIOUS IDEA BEHIND YOUR SMILE
I KNOW I COULD BET IT IS FULLY FORMED
BUT STILL NOT UNDERSTOOD NOT EVEN WHISPERED
TRUE INSPIRATION IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE
YOUR EYES ARE BROKEN MIRRORS OF MY DREAM
THOSE WHO LOVE TOO MUCH LOSE EVERYTHING THOSE WHO
LOVE WITH IRONY LAST
AND THEN THE MYTH BECOMES REAL
MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER THIS FOR THE NEXT TIME
WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR THE EMERGENCY EXIT IN THE
SINGLE-PATH LABYRINTH
FOLLOW THE ARROWS ON THE WALLS
THEY ARE POINTING DOWN AND BACK
AND THE DARKNESS DRIFTS FURTHER
YOU CRY WHEN CAUGHT IN THE CORNER
BUT ONLY THE DEAD COULD SEE THE END OF WAR
FORGET ME YOU ARE MY TOY NOW I WILL NOT REGRET
LETS BE IT THE FATAL ONE
FOR THE LAST TIME FOR THE VERY LAST TIME
WHERE THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD WANDER IN THE LIVING WORLD
THE JOY OF LIVING HAS BEEN WANING
STRUGGLING WITH THE DEAD WEIGHT OF MY FEELINGS
LEAVING ME MOTIONLESS AND APATHETIC
IN A WORLD WHERE COMING TO TERMS WITH TRANSIENCE IS
OVERWHELMING
I WON’T BE AROUND ANYMORE
I’LL BE FOUND THERE WHERE THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
WANDER IN THE LIVING WORLD
NOT CONNECTED NOT RELATED
BREATHLESS WITH ANTICIPATION IN A BLEAK ROOM
I HAD A LITTLE TIME TO GET EVEN
MY DECISION COMES BEFORE ME
I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST TIME I’M FAILING YOU
I WON’T BE AROUND ANYMORE
I’LL BE FOUND THERE WHERE THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
WANDER IN THE LIVING WORLD
NOT CONNECTED NOT RELATED
INFINITE CLOUD
AS FLAMES BURST INTO NOTHINGNESS
DEVOURING AND PUTTING TO CESSATION ALL THAT HAS BEEN
GOING ON SINCE FOREVER
NO SOLID POINT NO LEVERAGE OF OUR BELIEFS
ALWAYS SOMETHING LEFT TO BE DESIRED TO KNOW
BUT STILL WE FAIL TO OUTPACE THE SPEED OF THE LIGHT
OUR DESIRE TO DISCOVER THE ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING IS
INEVITABLY LOST
AS CAUSALITY SMEARS THE PAST
WE SHALL NEVER CEASE TO WONDER
IF THE DRIVING FORCE IS GENUINE EVERLASTING
UNCONDITIONAL
THE TIME HAS NOT YET COLLAPSED
SO WE STILL MIGHT HAVE A BIT OF IT
OUR OSTENTATIVE MANIFESTATIONS OF AN ENDLESS QUEST
FOR WHAT WE CAN‘T EVER HANDLE
ARE JUST A SPECK IN THE VAST UNIVERSE
AND IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS NOTHING REALLY
MATTERS
WE ARE SLAVES TO TRANSIENCE
WE WON‘T ASCEND THROUGH THE HEIGHTS OF OUR PRIDE
BUT SHALL SUCCUMB TO HEAVING MASSES OF THE GREAT
MOMENTUM
EVENTUALLY WE MIGHT CONCLUDE THAT ALL THE PAIN AND
SACRIFICES HAD BEEN UTTERLY USELESS
THE HALLWAY TO NOWHERE
AS WELL AS DEEP COLORS FADE
MY MIND SHUFFLES DOWN THE HALLWAY TO NOWHERE
FEELINGS LIKE BEING CONFINED TO BED OF THORNS
GROW WITH ADDITIONAL STING
LIVE TO THE FULLEST NOW AND SUFFER AFTER
OR YOU CAN SUFFER NOW AND LIVE TO THE FULLEST
THEREAFTER
THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME
EVENTUALLY IT CATCHES UP WITH YOU ANYWAY
YOU THINK OF THE OPPOSITE
THE
PAIR OF
SCALES ARE VERY
TRICKY
WHERE WILL THEY DIVERT TO
WHERE WILL THEY AGGRAVATE
YOU‘RE SLOWLY CRAWLING UP
AND FALLING QUICKLY BACK DOWN
AGAIN
DEBTS OF IMPERFECTION
I HAVE BEEN CHASING ALL OVER MY RECENT LIFE
LOOKING FOR THE HOPEFUL CONSTELLATION
TAKING NO NOTICE OF SILENT AND CAUTIOUS VOICES
THAT BEND FOLD AND NOOK THE DIMENSIONS STRAIGHT
LINES
THE FUTURE HAS ITS BACK TOWARDS US
ONLY WHAT HAS BEEN DONE CAN BE FACED
EYE TO EYE
ONLY IN THAT CAN WE BE FORGIVEN
ONLY IN THAT WILL THE DARKNESS REFRACT
NOT TWIST
I WANT TO PAY FOR MY FAULTS SO MUCH
I DONT CARE OF BEING DRAINED FROM
WITHIN
HAPPINESS SEEMS TO BE OUR ENEMY IT
WEAKENS US BY
PUTTING DOUBT IN YOUR MIND
SUDDENLY YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO LOSE
THE NOBILITY IS NOT HIDDEN IN POVERTY
AND THE STORM STARTS TO BURN
TRY NOT TO JUDGE ME TOO HARSHLY
BECAUSE I REALLY DIDNT INTEND
NOW IM THE BROKEN ONE BUT STILL ON THE DIGNITY
WATCH
TO LOVE IS TO DESTROY TO DESTROY IS TO LOVE
SONS OF OBLIVION
WHEN IT´S TIME TO THINK ABOUT
MEANING OF OUR EARTHLY LIFE
CLOSE YOUR EYES STOP FOR
A MINUTE AND STRUGGLE
WITH MIND
NO KINDRED
SPIRITS
GIVE A HINT TO
YOU YOU´VE GOT
YOURSELF
WHAT WE ARE
ANCESTORS
IT IS NOT FOR US TO JUDGE OUR LIFE PATH
SO WE GET A REWARD AT ITS END
AND IF THERE IS NOTHING I WILL NOT BE SUPRISED
I WILL DIE AS I HAVE LIVED
SUFFERING BUILDS CHARACTER AND LIFE ONLY MOVES
FORWARD
BRAVERY BEFORE DEATH FEAR OF LIFE
THAT IS NOT FAIR AND NEITHER IS MUCH ELSE
FOR THE GOOD OF MANY THERE MUST BE THE
SACRIFICE OF THE FEW
THIS WORLD DESERVES TO DROWN IN SHIT
ASK AND YOU RECIEVE
WE ARE NOT INNOCENT LAMBS
LETS WATCH TOGETHER THE DOMINOES FALL
THAT WAS LAID BY THE HANDS OF FATE
MAY THE SCARS BE HEALED NICELY
MY FAILURES YOUR PLEASURES
IN THE PAIN OF OBLIVION IM GASPING FOR BREATH
IF ONLY I COULD CANCEL ALL THE FEATURES OF HUMAN
BEING
THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DESTROY
IF ONLY THEY COULD BE WASHED LIKE SINS
BY COINS OF INDULGENCES
BUT REMEMBER THE HELL IS OPEN FOR EVERYONE
I‘M MOVING IN THE CIRCLE
SOONER OR LATER STARTING FROM THE SAME
SPOT
I CANNOT BREAK UP WITH YOU I WOULD
START A CRUSH AGAIN
IM THE SELF-IMPOSED SHEEP
TRAPPED IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES
BEHOLD I WILL FEED THE
URGE OF YOU
IN THE COLD
BURN OF YOUR HEART
I COULD STEAL THE MOONLIGHT IN THE NIGHT
WITH THE GROWING FEAR WELCOME
THE STARVING CROWS OF UPCOMING ARMAGGEDDON
THE RATS OF FALSEHOOD FEASTING ON ME
NOW IM LIKE AN EMPTY VESSEL
LIKE A TRASH BIN FOR YOUR TWISTED PLEASURES
COME ON ONE MORE TIME DRAW THE LAST MILK FROM ME
POINT OF VIEW
I WAS DIPPED IN THE RIVER STYX
BAPTISED BY HERETIC FERRYMAN OF THE DEAD
FROM THE UPPER WORLD TO THE SHORES OF THE FINAL
RESTING PLACE
THE LAND OF THE DEAD ON THE OTHER SIDE
THE COLD EMBRACE SO CLOSE AND STILL SO FAR
LETS SEE THAT PATHETIC SHOW
WITH ROSES AND FINAL KISS GOODBYE
LETS SEE THAT FROM BELOW
APATHY COMES AFTER A SMILE
THOSE WHO HAD NOT RECEIVED
CAN NOT GIVE AWAY
SAVE YOUR KINDNESS FOR BETTER ONE
I HAVE MISSPENT MY YOUTH
AND SO WILL I MY DAMNATION
THE CARDS ARE DEALED NOW
CHOOSE WISELY PLAY WELL
AND IN THE END DONT REGRET THE CHANCES YOU DIDNT TAKE
CATCH YOUR BREATH CLUTCH AT STRAWS
FAILURE IS NOT FATAL AND SUCCESS IS NOT FINAL
BECAUSE ONLY DEAD FISH GO WITH THE FLOW
IN THE NAME OF THE GOOD WE SPREAD EVIL
A COLD HAND GRABBED YOU BY YOUR HAIR
BENT YOU IN THE KNEES
AND LET YOU TAKE A SNIFF TO A PUDDLE OF EVIL
YOU KNOW THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
SO YOU ARE ONLY TRYING TO SMIRK
TO YOUR REFLECTIONS ON THE SURFACE
SOON YOU WILL BE ANOTHER DROP
BUT THIS TIME THE ONE LEAVING
NO CRICLES ON THE SURFACE
BUT HE WHO CRIES HAS SOMETHING TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM
HIM
THE GRAND COLLAPSE
BY VIRTUE OF CONJURATION THE EVIL INCARNATES
AND TAKES DEEP ROOTS
THE HUMANS WON’T BITE THEIR TONGUES FOR LONG
THERE’S NO SUBSTANCE IN YOUR DOGMA
YOUR ICONS AND MARTYRS HAVE NEVER EXISTED
YOUR WORLD WILL COLLAPSE ONE DAY
THE HUMANS WON’T BITE THEIR TONGUES FOR LONG
