11. As Long As You Are Mine

You dance like liquid fire
Like crystal methedrine
You make the stars come closer
The most beautiful girl I've seen

You're everything I want
Only you can set me free
You're an angel in the snow
You're a shot in the arm for me

I will let your LED's shine
As long as you are mine

You move and whisper softly
You make me safe and sound
You're a tranquilizer
You make the world go round

You are here beside me
You make me feel fine
I'll go through any day
As long as you are mine

12. The Return Of The Son Of Nothing

The warrior went back to Rome
The nomads settled for solid homes
The crusader returned to heathen
The snake searched for garden of Eden

The manikin went back in her cocoon
And NASA flew back to the moon
The great white returned to the coral reef
As the geisha stepped up on a waterlily leaf

Everything was like before
And the pharaohs killed the first born son
Good lord Jesus Christ went back to his whore
The whore went back to Babylon

The pope went back on the dole
And Santa flew back to the north pole
Judas went back to Nazareth
And the president back in his jet

The raven flew back to Hades
And the shemales went back to the eighties
The dandy went back to Perth
And the dead went straight back to birth

13. Vote For Love

We've been soaked in acid
Always praised the downfall
The sound of cadent wings
It's a wounder we're standing tall
But in the truth of the morning glory
And the fear in our wishing well
We're on to another story

It's about time we all get out and vote for love

We are white zombies
Chained to our own demise
Decades of sleepwalking
No light's shining in our eyes
We've painted all doors bible black
Wir haben niemals kampflos aufgegeben
If there's light we'll claim it back

Time to claim it back

14. Cain

I gave you my love
Though crystallized
I sent you a rose with Nevermore

So many years
So many hours
And only thistles on my shore

For all that it’s worth
The blood on my hands
Is the blood of divinities

And all that is lost
Sound or unsound
Only bonds between you and me

If I go will you follow
Me through the cracks and hollows
And I would be your Cain
If you would be here now

The Mother-of-Pearl
Handcrafted by God
You’re the tower they built to reach the sky

A White Falcon beauty
My mark on your skin
Follow me down the stairs when we die

Your soul is in heaven
Your body in hell
It doesn’t matter much to me

In the night of the unborn
Sound or obscene
Only bonds between you and me

Blessed be our Lady Nuit
Guide us to Ra-Hoor-Khuit
In your night we find shelter
Before the Helter Skelter

15. Wings Of Heaven

I'll be your master and I'll be your slave
Until the day that you will dance avidly on my grave
Seems like a lifetime we've been living this lie
But I can't help keep lying when you undress before my eyes

The wings of heaven are descending
The touch of her naked skin's amending
The skies will collide
Only for a little while
And it will take us through the night

Thank you my angel like belly dancing concubine
Like Cleopatra you're sleeping safe in a royal shrine
Thank you for the blood and tears and for the table dance
Wholeheartedly I thank you dear for our short romance

16. Divided (Edit Version - Previously Unreleased)

The marriage has gone to my head
The wedding trumpets are dead
Replaced by a static noise
So loud, I can't hear my own voice
Will those signs lead me out of here
Well, just take me somewhere
To the plains where angels sing
Through the chime and the clattering

For what it's worth, the truth might hurt you
There's little you can do
When shadows fall, I will desert you
Then that's what you will do

For what it's worth the truth might hurt you
With a tear of morning dew...
My temples born anew

Lead me inside
Lead me inside
Lead me inside out of the cold
Let me inside
Feel me inside
When the seed is sown
Our love's dead by dawn

And as the day begins
The sun is soothing my skin
And I am divided
I am divided
For love

I have to say
That all of this time
I waited for someone like you
You are my dream
You are my dream
You are my dream

1. The Temple Of The Crescent Moon

It's been a long time but we are here again
It's been five long years of thunder, lightning and rain
So cold, so hard without you
But tonight... we're coming through!

The temple of the crescent moon is calling you tonight
The temple of the crescent moon is calling you tonight
When the skies light your eyes with all my fire
The temple of the crescent moon comes alive in the night

Yeah, it's been a long time but we are back again
For another five years of thunder, lightning and rain
And now the hurly burly's done
And the fight's been fought and won

2. Equinox Of The Gods

Listen to the angel sing
I can hear her crying
I can see her burning wing
In a burning church of shame
A bloody Mary in flames
Spoken infernal names

Rise from the ashes and do it again
Yeah, we can make it happen

My Nemesis, my friend
Why don't you stop to pretend
It's the beginning not the bitter end, no

Through the Genesis flood
We were baptized in blood
A military coup of the new God's

Rise from the ashes and do it again
Yeah, we can make it happen

This is the Equinox of the Gods

Set the altar on fire
See the embers go higher
See the burning oils glowing
Sacrificial blood's flowing

We never bow unto thee
We went to Gethsemane
To kill your self-pitying Nazarene

Now all the cherubs are deceased
Upon their corpses we feast
The only good priest is a dead priest!

(Crucify her upsidedown
Impale her with rusty nails
Dress her up in a blood red gown
And gory, beautifully painted veil
Let her bleed to death before our eyes
Oh ooh
May she be punished and sacrificed
Oh ooh, oh yeah!)

The dirty nuns are in chains
No monasteries remain
The time has come for our Master to reign

Again

Thy kingdom is gone
Satan's work is done
And A-Bomb over Babylon

3. Until The Hellhounds Sleep Again

Years of great plenty
Throughout the land of sin
With only faith at stake
And so much more to win
Now, wouldn't Lord allow us a little fun?

Until the hellhounds sleep again

Now you're soaked with water
That your wings just won't repel
But on your little crooked streak
You dry them up to Hell
Until the Sunday bells are calling you

Until the hellhounds sleep again

You enter the night in your Devil-black suit
Well, we all need a little taste of that forbidden fruit
And in the night Satan is divine

Until the hellhounds sleep again

Your path leads to nowhere and nothing is your trade
Your faith barely lasts until the church bells fade
I sincerely wish you better luck tonight

Until the hellhounds sleep again

Though the colonnades of faith with you
It's what I see, it's what I love, it's what I do
And now the columns are falling on you
But it the colonnades of faith, we're passing through
