Don't trust him when he turns his back
He looks at you
Don't trust him when his eyes are closed
He (still) looks at you
I fled, I fled devouring the space
But the shapeless bulk
Was chasing me enraged
Breathing my footsteps
Unsated with killing me slowly
Nailing my incandescent thoughts
Along the border of insanity
In a place where
A procession of fleshly numbers
Slides incessantly
Into the ironic waters of the cosmos
Seeking to remember
The sense of the impossible word: Escape
Who are you looking for?
What are you looking at?
A light? A star
A boat? An insect
A plane? A flying fish
I'm looking at somebody who belongs to my world
This is your world, I am your only world
I can't remember when the fog
Unravelling the real and inexplicable
Contradictions that crowd together
The human brain lobes – imprisoned me
In the spider's web of the one who touches
The minds of the mad, curbing and churning
The confetti of their thoughts
Without corpses there's no war
And without war there's no victory
My dear!
I will not be
Pushed, filed, stamped, indexed
Briefed, debriefed or numbered!
Give me the keys to my incubus!
(N-I-G-H-T-M-A-R-E)
Welcome, my friend!
Here whole generations of ghosts
Have raised their eyes and wings
Each morning to unbounded space
With the innocent joy of crysalids
Greeting their final metamorphosis
And in the evening they're
Dead and drooping like lifeless flowers
Swayed by the plaintive whistling of the wind
You must learn: We are all pawns
On this hopeless chessboard
Your move
Maybe you don't know my face
But well you know my name
My name is: Death
Dressed in white, smiling
The girl who was Death
And loved me so much
Desiring to bring me
Back to her
The only way out
To no purpose
Why are they trying to kill me?
Because they don't know
You are already dead!
Face to face
Shut up in the cage of time
The man and I
Joined by fate
In the degree absolute
The challenge without return match
Where the price to one is: Living
And pain to the other is: Not dying
The mask! The mask!
I must take off his mask!
Now! Now!
But just as victory
Seems finally to favour me
And the unknown persecutor appears
Frame after frame
In a slow instantaneous
Electric shock
Here is my contorted face
To reveal, sneering
The final dramatic deceit
When victim and hangman
Exchange roles
The triumphant freedom
Of a thousand dreams
Evaporates
In the reality of a new incubus
Once again
Made of smiles, masks, lifeless confetti
Be seeing you!
Wandering through the catacombs of life
Desperately I plunge into the whirl
Wandering through the catacombs of life
Slowly I fall into the whirl of hell
You can’t eat the heart out of my mystery
You can’t escape alive
You belong to death
