Mystery of A Blood Red Rose

Mystery Of A Blood Red Rose

Music & lyrics by Tobias Sammet
We've played our roles in our passion plays
They've imposed on us right from the cradle
No matter what you dream, beware of what you say
Until the cogwheel's out of control to burst out of place
No time to breathe
Don't have no time to waste
Bring on the night seize every drop of life away
Slice of tasty hour off from
Or in a blink it will be gone
A stranding future bring it on
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart we'll leave it behind
Feasting on a blind desire
Let the scent of poisonous flowers tempt me away
A sweet temptation of a pure red rose
While the hour don't wait for a blink to cram the past
I'll get a move on
No hesitation makes no one a better man
I can't wait to finally know now what is gonna show now in
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose tempt me away
Boy, reach out for what is due
Or you'll lap up what's left for you
Throw ourselves into the waves
And as the grinding wheel of time
Is grinding of the chimes
To echo in the night
We're off into the moonshine
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose tempt me away
And I will waste no time tonight
And I don't waste no time at all tonight
02. Let The Storm Descend Upon You

I'm smothered by your lucid nothing
I can't hear and touch and see
But I feel it
Though I can't believe it
Like master of the observation
Coming up with an explanation
There's no need
Making use of the spirit
We can give you answers you are dying to receive
Keep on dreaming
Keep on screaming
yeah
You might be getting too much for your beating hart to take
Your flesh is malice
Prepare your chalice
Lights
breathe and sleep tight
Will you defy intriguing ghostlights
Seeing through all lies and foolish warnings
There ain't no return
Never like the darkness
It may burn your soul away
As you've been seeing
What you've though you're dreaming
Never open doors if you don't dare to walk on through
Maybe you're old
Now it's all your fault
Light
You're off to the light
Will you defy all evil ghostlights
Tell the truth from depuration
Time
Don't waste no time
Prevail against the hands that tick your flesh away
Now delve into your own reflection
Ohhh in all that where I've been to
There's nothing but a void
Over the sanity of fools
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
And I will make you mine
Behold the lead aurora fall upon you
Oh, Let the storm descend upon you
Journey to the other side
It's just a trip and pleasure ride
And I don't know
But does it really matter
I am he who's always been

Who dares to know what can't be seen
I'm illusion or truth
I'm confusion
Light
Bring me the light
I will bring out certainty on a silver plate
Like a mantle piece
I will wipe out darkness
Light
Blessed is the lie
Till there's no time left to spill
To save and kill
To take and seize
Till this trip's your law
Obey reflections of some crazy dream
Or maybe the backside of reality
Let the storm descend upon you
You gotta pray you're gunning just a ghostlight
You gotta be won't be falling down the wayside
Let it carry you away
Cut the gem until it's purified away
The candle burning to the ground
I don't see nothing but addiction to the rhyme
Kindles everything around
For all the world we'll see it tower to the stars
And all is melting into one
We give them something to fall back on everytime
They're too strung out to run
Every moment, every heartbeat, every breath
Leaves you one less to your last
Still you cherish every second of the game
Give me the future, you take the past
And what if God is just an image in the mind
A reflection of the will
And what's the valor when the law you live in harmony
Falls second for the drill
I pray the lord ain't just a ghostlight in my mind
a reflection of the will
Let the storm descend upon me
Let aurora fall upon me
Let the fire fall upon him
Let the fire purify him

Never judge a thing you see
It's only what your mortal eyes will want it to be
Ohhh bring it on
Let the dark and heaven confusion
Spit out a conclusion
Obey reflections of a memory
Are just reflections in a crazy dream
Shine your light into the darkness (through the darkness)
Shine your light into the darkness (into the darkness)
Oh, Let the storm descend upon you (let the storm descend upon you)
Ohhh descend upon you, yeah.
03. The Haunting

I can't count the days I've days I've roamed
A stray ghost liked to wither on the vine
A paling tales of days long gone
I won't be untill you close your eyes
Sleep time
Someone's always by your side
A thousand nights we've been calling your name
Close your eyes but I won't go away
We're there for you
The cold embrace that you don't want to feel
Must not be but you know it is real
We're there for you
Don't you waste your time and try
To understand this figment of the lie
Don't breathe the word to anyone
By the time you phrase me I'll be gone
Sweet dreams
See you in the twilight zone
We're there for you
We're there for you
Down I must contain the wayward fantasy
Where did all those wicked dreams come from
Pictures in the dark they seem so eerily
Winter night, I pray my mind is wrong
I'm the spot they refuse to conceive
We're there for you
We're there for you
04. Seduction Of Decay

It ain't the far cry that it seemed
In just a wink we'd come for you
You may not feel it
We are the light, the scorching heat
We are the untold chosen few
And now we've come for you
We'll fit you like a velvet glove
That's gonna choke their minds
Affiliate yourself with what you can't defy
Some below and few above
We're gonna numb their minds
Riot on the edge
On the brink of insanity
Riot on the edge
You'll hear me screaming your name
I am the angel of decay to seize you
There'll be no thoughts to maintain
I'm the seduction of decay
I hear the tales reverberate
From shrouds of myth that only time would weave
Bred in a den of lunacy
Who can we trust? Who's next in line?
The sacred drive to rationalize
Commit ourselves another day
To lesser crime
Choke on your own pace with candour
So pleasant in the quiet
Vicegerents of the tide
Riot on the edge
Riot on the edge
Time contaminating space
To reinfect and agonize anything around
We are metabolite of dreams
The chosen ones to sacrifice the wasteland-bound
Oh, Euphoria is looming in the darkness
Coincidence of opposites we are
Once beautiful intentions
Oh, we'll drag you over
Oh, it's gonna drag you over
Oh, from the start we run away
And don't seem to care what for
Forever feels like a blink after passing by

Just fools don't know the prime's another
Stat of decay
Riot on the edge
Riot on the edge
05. Ghostlights
You're tossing and turning
You think you're awake
While you're trying to run
Like in a nightmare
Time loves your ego to death
You're leaving the wheelwork
To the ground of being you go on
Defying temptation in the engine room
That is our self
I feel a storm is looming
With a shaking grumble
I don't know if I'm right or wrong
I don't know if I shall go on
I don't know what I'll believe
But I'm on my way
Minds fly free
When the gates fly open
Walk on through
Thunder and rain
And the wind in my face
Ghostlights dance
Will you heed the token
Glazing light
Blinding my eyes
Get me out of this maze
The world as we know it
Is beginning to shake
I don't trust my eyes
Are we all superstitious
If we think what our hearts know is true
Fireworks surround me
Wherever I go they tell me: Always home
Psychosomatic
They'll name it the nature of God
Off to a new horizon
Time is the key to unite with the all
Time is gonna make you see
Right from wrong eternally
Don't let the noises devour you
Minds fly free
Walk on through
Thunder and rain
Ghostlights dance
Glazing light
Blinding my eyes
And what if you're only a prism
For the ghostlights that you wanna see
And we're just reflection of your dreams
It's speaking to me
It's yelling at me
It's screaming to me
Resonating with me
And a thousand lights
Are trying to make me see
They
They
They
They
call
call
call
call
me
me
me
me
home
home
home
home
Minds fly free

Walk on through
Thunder and rain
Ghostlights dance
Glazing light
Blinding my eyes
06. Draconian Love

You shed draconian love
You shed draconian...
You shed draconian love
You shed draconian...
Welcome to your way
Seemingly endless as you take your wings
The world through kaleidoscope eyes
Until you unlearn what you keep inside
Those innocent eyes...
Reflecting the light for an innocent soul
Till the cold around's not gonna wait its turn
Wait its turn no more
Tell me how should I embrace
Like roses we'll wither on the vine
Why should bide my time
If it flies away sometime
Where are you now, where are you now
Leaving me down here, lost in the waves
Hey hey hey
When will God explain this draconian love
You shed draconian love, you shed draconian love
Where do I go, where are you now
Selling me love through fiery rain, angel
When will you explain this draconian love
It's all draconian love , it's all draconian
Infiltrate us with mercy
Bait us with sympathy
Blind us with love
We're lost in the clouds rolling by
And in what some of us read
Into what they feel
Like a grain of nothing
I feel cast in the wind of enthean caprice
Of an unbred cause, of unborn will
Whatever that may mean
Tell me how should I embrace
Like roses we'll wither in the vine
Tell me why should I bide my time
If it flies away sometime
Hey hey hey
Aspiration and tears, heartache and fears

Draconian love, you shed draconian love
Unrequited love - down on my knees
Draconian love, it's all draconian love
Will you explain this draconian love
Hey hey hey
Leaving me down here lost in the waves
Hey hey hey
Selling me love through fiery rain
07. Master Of The Pendulum

Who's the one who's stretching out his hand
Is it it or is it me that won't lose hold
Take on to the pendulum and sway
Like a mistletoe I'm clinging to the cold, yeah
I am the trellis for those in need to twine around
The rock of ages for those who're meant to wander around
I got no time for a break and we got no time to waste
I'll save it up in the pace, I'll quantify thoughts away
that you don't need anyway, oh what a beautiful day...
Tic toc tic toc
Someone's watching over me
Begging for a dance
While your sands are running out
Rigid and firm's what I hold in my hands
Tick away time, I allot and I divide
Master of the hands that guide you
Run if you can while the war drum's ticking on
Ancient of days, I'm the shouldering pace
I will make you mine, I allot and I divide
Master of the hands that push you
That's who I am.
The master of these hands
I lead the horse to the water and I make it drink
I'm here to force precision just on everything
I feel your breath in my neck
I feel you behind my back
And as I'm turning around
There's just this frightening sound
I feel it everywhere
Oh I know that you're there...
Tic toc tic toc
Someone's watching over me
Begging for a dance while your sands are running out
Rigid and firm's what you hold in your hands
Tick away time, you allot and you divide
Ancient of days: you're the shouldering pace
Angels fall
Time's gonna winnow all
Dying dreams
Right from wrong
Dwell in a run
Turn the wheel
Something's reaching out for me
Begging for a dance

While your sands are running out
Rigid and firm's what I hold in my hands
Tick away time, I allot and I divide
Ancient of days, I'm the shouldering pace
08. Isle Of Evermore

From a frozen world will you take me over
All alone, sweet embrace
Leave the place I can't abide no more
Take a look at ourselves, afraid to get closer
Will the predermination drive us to a distant shore
The tender velvet gown of destination left behind
I'm wide awake, I'm on my way to evermore
And I turn around to fading shores
I'll sail on through this opening door
Wide awake onto the isle of evermore
I'm dead to the world, you blindfold my eyes
while you're killing what I'm yearning for
You just see what your eyes have been told to tell you
Falling down to the ground, how come you ask if what you feel is true
I'm staring at the maze and let it paralyze me
Watch it come alive and burn me out until I'm coming through
The tender velvet gown of slumber will just leave me just breathing
Wide awake I'm on my way to evermore
I'm dead to the world
You blindfold my eyes
What I'm yearning for...
Wide awake I'm on my way to evermore

I'm dead to the world blindfold my eyes
09. Babylon Vampyres

A lot of good advice
Nobody's keeping for themselves
If you're playing by the rules
You'll be a trophy on a shelf
Give in to the ordinary run of things
Like it's meant to be
There's nothing left of me
Praying for salvation, floating with the tide
The very first temptation
Drags you to the other side
You learn to walk and run
You fly until you fall as far as I can see
The future ahead was not what it used to be
Blessed was the darkness - veiling hypocrisy
Babylon is burning, shining from afar
Babylon is burning
From sunset to sunrise
Babylon is burning
And you're glowing like a fiery star
And no one can tell if we've been for real
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
They say it's coming by the night
To engraft into the brain
What a scientific tongue won't recall
Or even phrase
It's crawling up your spine
To breed a wicked freak if nature
We will be a new society
A headless congregation, a vortex needing more
The road to good intentions is evil to the core
The devil and the deep blue sea are waiting
Side by side for me
The sweet scent of poison
Hazing the dread away
This side of the moon I'll confess to...
Another day
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
Yeah
Ever since I can remember
I've been shooting up that road with a dream
I saw gold at the end of the rainbow
I was given an idea of what life should be
What life should be

Aint't
Aint't
Aint't
Aint't
there
there
there
there
a light above the shadow

blood in the machine
flesh they'd been misleading
a longing soul within?
I've seen believers on the wayside

And I'm afraid to say, I think just like you
That failed to pretend
They could cope with what they'd find
When they didn't have a clue - just like you
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
And no one can tell if we've been for real, oh
Babylon is burning
Babylon is burning
10. Lucifer
Eternity is a goal I must have fallen
Through my pride being perfect in my ways
The morning starling fire down from heaven
Oh every wrap into a gown of grace
I hear the screams that echo from the darkness
I swear from dawn to dusk came off the edge
Oh hear the creature crying in the distance
Buried in the symbol on a shelf
I'll take you home tonight to center of your soul
I'll take you home tonight fire, flesh and blood
Touching the flames tonight, touching the flames tonight
Morning is dying, brace me on these grounds, angel of light
How will I forgive him who wouldn't forgive me who just value the power
How should I live in peace with the one, I'll shining be in the happy devour
The feeling of light under the skies, black shape is the moon our scarlet tonight
I'll make you fume in fury and rage I'll make you see what you made of tonight
I'll take you home tonight to center of your soul
I'll take you home tonight fire, flesh and blood
11. Unchain The Light

Who's got the answer
Is this what I'm looking for
And who do I talk to
What do I have to explore
Attend to your god given duty
You'll be taking your heaven by force
How could you choose
With your head in the noose
With no time to lose
High up in the open skies
We'll chain the light
We'll take the time from those it does to death, we're
We'll take the time from those it does to death and I'll chain the light
I'll bring it right down to illuminate unholy ways, we'll chain the light
Too worn out to wonder
We might not want to overextend them no more
Our beautiful spook lights are all they will need
All they will want to explore
And after it's all said and done
We won't fear the transcience no more
Cause we don't realize
Idle glance in our eyes
Let precision prevail
We'll take the time from those it does to death,
we're
I'll bring it right down to illuminate unholy way, we'll chain the light
You look above
to see inside yourself
and find time standing still
You see the world in different light
You turn this moment
into what you think it's ought to be
Demystify the dark
We'll take the time from those it does to death,
we're

I'll bring it right down to illuminate unholy ways
12. A Restless Heart And Obsidian Skies

A genuine soul to dwell on baleful grounds
Glances wandering around
In the darkness of the world
Clouds have closed a ring around the sky
While the old ones hear the chimes
Through the darkness of the world
A genuine man will realize
He must fawn upon the times
While he shouldn't waste a word
Tender feet on stoney ground
See the young ones stray around
Through the darkness of the world
Sacred heart will you usher me now
For I'll carry the lantern your way
For I'll bring us home
Dark is the night, scarlet the moon
Sacred the light in the haze reflecting within
Blazing the trail
Be still my restless heart
Obsidian's the sky
Inward you look as you halt
Be still restless heart
I'm on my way
Under obsidian skies
Wake to the sound of passing time
How could I quantify it in the darkness of the world
Wake to the shadow of a dream
Nothing's what it seems
As you brave the darkness of the world
Ghost lights and matter
You'll know what is real
Perception and fact - all the same
Truth's what you feel
Blazing the trail
Obsidian's the sky
I'm on my way
Under obsidian skies
And the wind and the rain that were shaking the pane
move onward along with the clouds
And you're gazing in awe at the ghost lights above
as if stars cut their way through the shroud
On and on and on...
Moon shines
Ghost lights
Oh they reach out for you
Blazing the trail under obsidian skies
Blazing the trail
Obsidian's the sky
I'm on my way
Blazing the trail
Obsidian's the sky
I'm on my way
13. Wake Up To The Moon

You see the sun touch the horizon
You know the future awaits
And yours hides in the darkness
The stars are gonna line up in the night sky
I see what some will deny
As I follow the starkness
Can you believe your eyes
We'll make you rise to the occasion
Follow your heart and run
Seek shelter from the day
Waiting for the moon
The sound of falling angels calling you
Strange and magic
Hear us call your name
Darkness shines a sweet
deceleration down on you
Wayward child wake up to the moon
They wanna squeeze you in their picture from the outside
they call your life a world of make-believe
You're feeling pushed by a racing heartbeat
Parameterizing the world
They only see what they're told to see
Child of the ocean floor
No need of daylight that deceives you
Don't let them wear you down
Listen to the voice
Strange and magic
Kind of buried alive
You've been sacrificed
They show you the key
Till you love to agree
A brave modern day
This world is insane
Strange and magic

Strange and magic
