A Constant

Waiting for your train, standing in the snow. Let my mind wander and carry me home. Over the fields, away from the cold. Say goodbye to the city life. Say goodbye to it all. // The mind is not empty. The mind is not full. I'm waiting for something I finally can't just shake off my back.

Scorched Earth Love Song
03:28

No longer can I stand these burning heels, nor comprehend the desert stretching as far as I can see. And suddenly, the choice becomes clear: the vultures or the endless agony. She said, "I'll wear your love forever around my neck, and you'll see it there hanging between my breasts." And if only things could be so simple, maybe I wouldn't have ended up out here. In the desert all alone. And the rain will never come. The sun will forever beat down on me. My thirst never quenched. I guess this must be the end.

The Black Lake (version)
03:40
|

I went to the lake. I was looking for you, but you must have already left. You were always the impetuous one. It was getting dark there in the woods. When they found your body on the soft wet ground, I couldn't bring myself to look. The way your limbs when limp. When they picked you up, the way your legs fell to one side. // Well, I remember long ago. Our fathers brought us to this black lake. They threw us in to teach us how to breathe again. // I went to the lake. I was thinking of you. The way your legs fell. The way we're all just animals.

Cup of Death
02:30
|

|
We drank from the cup of death, and we grew strong and drunk. We drank from the cup of death, and our hearts swelled up with love. See, we were not content with all that life had to offer. Selling our hearts and minds for another penny in the coffer. We drank from the cup of death, and found meaning in our misery. We drank from the cup of death, and became as free as the sky above us. We drank from the cup of death, and we grew strong and drunk. We drank from the cup of death, and our hearts swelled up with love.

The Red and the Green
02:23

I pulled my knife out from your chest. Wiped that steely blade on a patch of grass. It looked so beautiful, the red and the green. Just like Christmas. I tried hard not to smile. I tried harder not to laugh, but something inside of me just couldn't resist. I looked down at you, into your lifeless eyes. You looked so happy.

Song for the Ghosts
02:31
|
|||
|
I went down to the lake, trying to make my great escape. You were there, dressed in white, eyes as dark as a moonless night. I tried hard, but you held me there. You told there was nowhere I could hide. For your power was infinite. Your power is infinite. Take down to the sea, let the birds watch over me.
