i. PASSION

Some are born to wander blind
And some are born to endless night
But not this one!
Feeling our youth go through our fingers
Like a razor to the bone
Let's burn the dry brush of our hearts
And fill them with song once more
Deserts without mirages
Generations without rain
Let's shoot like rockets through the sky
And leave this world in flames

ii. OBSESSION

To sow seeds in barren fields
When there's no more fertile ground
To bear the fragile worlds within
Through the ruined one that surrounds
Break the shackles of my past
Give me precious things that do not last
(and succor for the homeless ones
bring fire down on Babylon)
Heal
And destroy
Lift me up
Bring it down
And we may suffer
And we must die
And we may suffer
And we may die
Come weary child:
You've touched the stars but you did not move them
Now it's time to cut out your heart
And be a god in the kingdom of the dead
Or to raise your face
And make them move.
And we may suffer
And you may die
Yes, you will suffer
And you're going to die
So sing now:
I'll be your eyes if you won't see,
I'll be your heart if you can't feel
Now we'll see who burns the brightest
The brightest of them all

Send me their sons and prodigal daughters
Render up to me their lost and stray
Give lust and life to our dances, flight to our fancies
Give me courage for my passions and my pain
And this will be my art: to feel alive
Break my heart
Sell my body or my soul
Spite their laws
Fight the odds
Smite the gods
Starve myself
Freeze myself
Burn myself
Kill myself
Kill myself
To feel...

Nail me to you
I will ride you like a nightmare
I will drive you past all love or pain or fear
I will escort you to the end
Take me inside you
I'll be the master in your mirror
I will drive you until everything else disappears
I'll be with you to the end

Everything you want to feel
Everything you want to taste
