Ghost Lights 05:23
These ghost lights are beautifully haunting They lure me into the woods with their glow Moving slowly at night Sparkling underneath a dead night sky They fool me into the bog with their lights These ghouls parade as my friends I see them under my eyelids They beckon me from heaven's pull The hungry ghost is never full But my will is stronger than the will of the wisp Slowly they swing back and forth their lanterns I have strayed all caution burned in moonlight The closer I get the more they flee My impulse has control of me They lead me to a deep chasm And snuff their lights and leave laughing My will is stronger than the will of the wisp and through the bog I will find just why I'm alive here tonight

Autopsia 04:56
Lay me down upon your cutting table My body splattered with Rorsach bloodstains Reach inside and take from me this tumor That's brought me here before you tonight And you will be my conductor In our dissection theater Your blue-green eyes staring down at me The same color as my lividity In pools of blood you see your reflection And now you may begin to cut at me And you will be my conductor In our dissection theater And you will find me inside you Autopsia

My House 04:08
Something's rapping at my door Raven's croaking nevermore No one knows that I live here And do not tell them as I fear Something's fallen from my shelf Staring back up at myself Nothing feels just quite right The skin I'm wearing is much too tight Home is where you hang your noose Hang in there don't cut loose I can hear them all outside They can smell formaldehyde I trim and trim to look my best But no one knows that I'm a mess I board the windows, lock the door Still they creep in through the floors Cadavar dogs sniff the ground But you're gone and won't be found Home is where you hang your noose Hang in there don't cut loose Can you smell it my decay Should have been here yesterday

I saw your saint in the morgue today Before he left my body he screamed its the only way I then felt him slip inch-by-inch away I know you can smell his crumbling body as the wind plays All saints die And I do too An ornament on the corpse tree Watch him sway with the wind so gracelessly The bigger the gun the bigger the mess For you to clean up in your pretty white dress Look at your darling he's smeared across the wall I say we stay awhile and sit and watch him crawl All saints die And I do too An ornament on the corpse tree Watch him sway with the wind so gracelessly I feel him in the hallways He creeps in the shadows He sleeps in my bed I know I am never free

Wake Song 03:33
In the rain I watched God's fingers Tap upon green leaves I'm alive and in this rain Why won't he tap on me I pray I'm just a thin veil on an avatar's eyes Staring out upon the world a chalice for its light Doused in suffering screaming chagrin Slash the ego's belly from within Or take on the arm of death Never finding home

Kópavogur 03:06
Last night in the dead of night I watched the Owl take flight He swooped down at my head And told me how we end We die, holy, Like Bonnie and Clyde You can make love to my lifeless body Later in that dying night I watched the Owl falling And he sank with the moon And I did too You can be my bloody Cinderella And have your eyes pecked out by Crows To all my loving martyrs: I'm sorry I stoned you. I only aimed to act like other humans do

There's a little girl whose pigtails are turning into snakes And I hear the scream of a virgin Its in my head I am watching as the shadows creep across the wall And I am told its just a play of light That dances madly And fantastically And sometimes, like right now It feels more real than - Its in my head
10.
He asked me if his soul would go to heaven I said "son take a look around we're already in hell" and she she said "no one will love me if I don't use my body" As I took her innocence on top of my bed And we moan I only want you when you are not ready As taking it slow was never my style And "supper will be ready on the table at seven" But I don't think I will be alive by then And we moan I need more of you than you could care to give me But if you gave me the chance I could help you waste away And I feel like the dog waiting for his master But he's forgotten me and never coming home And I moan And I leave you alone with this great pain As my voice fades with the burning of this tape
