1. CHURCH OF TIAMAT
no candycoloured paradise
no stary blackholed eyes
no more dreams of neverend
through embers only dark descends
no more comatose sleepwalking
no feeble sideshow toungetalking
not even crucified you`d get that far
nor escape the shining morningstar
no lies shall opiate your senses
no spying glasses with shaded lenses
nor suns that burn a brighter tint
just lucid weaves in pristine mint
no more angels in the snow
no more hunting high and low
no more water in our veins
to seek out gold from grains
no fight to win or loose
no single path to choose
no second coming at all
just a simple rise and fall
2. BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN
we could wander in the garden of eden baby
we could do anything tonight, maybe
we could even touch the sky
if we just get up on our feet and try
we could wander in the garden of eden baby
will you settle for the bull`s run
for the second best of fun
for the fire of a handgun
burns brighter than the sun
any colour you like as long as it`s black
you could have anything if you just give it back
you could be a celebrity like me
it won`t change anything as you will see
any colour you like as long as it`s black
3. DUST IS OUR FARE
there is a time when some of us are healed
there is a time you`re clean and undersealed
there is a time it almost looks like fun
there is a time for the bullet of a gun
no one here drinks water
none of us is sane
if you pretend you`re my daughter
we do it again and again
no one here is praying
`cause no one here is god
and every word we are saying
might as well be put in blood
there is a time when worms revel in me
there is a time for a pigfaced reality
there is a time and it`s usually in the afternoon
there is a time and i hope it will be damn soon
4. TO HAVE AND TO HAVE NOT
she shivered, afraid that i would shoot
she`d panic, afraid that i would not
she drank it all right before my eyes
said, be my lucifer, be my lord of flies
i can take all your blasphemy
i can take all your sins
i can end any moment
and let new one begin
she said, do it and do it now
yeah, let all black birds fly again
for all fires that burned before
as hell`s fire, shall burn bright once more
5. FOR HER PLEASURE
erase the pictures from my mind
eliminate the presence of your kind
unloose the strings of instinct laws
just to fall into some other jaws
in pounding afterglow i rise
for the pleasure of dying twice
a wingcut angel in decline
breathe my air and i`ll be fine
put your teeth in me
carve your name in me
i don`t care if there is something
that i`m too blind to see
invite yourself and feel free
to pick up splinter of debris
it`s in your sys.ex {it`s in your system exclusive}
subdues all that`s delusive
initially this lie i`d recoil
but again i crawl this dirty soil
of all possessions i did treasure
this one`s strictly for her pleasure
7. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for long, long years
Stolen many a man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of
doubt and faith
I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and
saled His fate
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzing you is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When saw it was time for a chage
A killed the Tzar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tanke, held a gen'ral's rank
When the blitzkrieg rage the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzing you is the nature of my game
I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for then decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all it was you and me
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed befor they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzing you is the nature of my game
Just as ev'ry cop is a criminal
And all the sinners Saints
As heard is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some curtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste!
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzing you is the nature of my game
8. BEST FRIEND MONEY CAN BUY
we drank as much as we could
and she drank more than she should
we stumbled out of this cheap whiskey bar
and that is the story so far
guided by the dim streetlights
we walked through the black harbour night
no people, no passing car
well, that is the story so far
-she things she smells the northland snow
northland snow
and she`s as glad as i to go
ay, to go
hey very bolts are sick for shore
sick for shore
and i, i want it ten times more
ten times more-
she silenced her mouth when i asked for her name
and she asked me to please do the same
she said it`a all written in the stars
and that is the story so far
but she whispered her name when i kissed her goodbye
her voice stained by whiskey and tar
she went back to where she belonged, and i
i went back to the bar
9. AS LONG AS YOU ARE MINE
your 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 you l.e.d.`s shine
as long as you are mine
you move and whisper softly
you move and 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
i will let you l.e.d.`s shine
as long as you are mine
10. LUCY
lucy was my first choise - lucy was the one
she was my silent voice - when all was said and done
yeah, lucy was a demon - she did it all my way
she`d give me all her fun - as long as i would pay!!
lucy gave me veil - like shaken crystal clear
when lights were turning pale - then i would still be there
lucy shone is neon - lucy swore she`s mine
and in another aeon - i would be the first in line

Tiamat - A Deeper Kind Of Slumber (Century Media '97)
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Cold Seed
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
What heals our snowblind weary eyes
When all stars are slain by fiery skies
And every word upon your spiraling cross
Is but a misled sun, a bitter loss
Inject us out of here
All I asked for was a little love
But from my hands flew the maiden dove
While clouds like cotton snowwhite sheep
Still calm beside their shepherd sleep
Inject us out of here
2. Teonanacatl
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
Not far from where I live
They glance in morning breeze
As dividing tiny rays
A morning tries to seize
Greet me my proud little soldiers
Of brown, purple and grey
Carry us on your shoulders
Carry us far away
If you begin to fall
Please have some more
You could stay at my place if you want
I'll sleep on the floor
In shades of purple cloth
They guide us to the light
With irresistable pride
To the feast they us invite
Greet me my proud little soldiers
Of brown, purple and grey
Carry us on your shoulders
Carry us far away
If you begin to fall
Please have some more
You could stay at my place if you want
I'll sleep on the floor
(for long and faithful service)
3. Trillion Zillion Centipedes
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
Kicks this cadent purity
Wraps this cadent purity
4. The Desolate One
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
By a pool
Of amber water
A sticky smell
Of carrion kind
Integrates with nature slowly
Green fields I offer you
Snowy mountains in present air
The sunflower tounge
On a wave comes the saturn king
To grant the man on the beach
Surfing on his orbital rings
A frightened mental vortex we'll be
A sun we seek, a sun we flee
A scar
Upon mother earth
A nebular each
The desolate one
The desolate one
the desolate one
5. Atlantis As A Lover
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
Soothe my skin
My sweetness of soul
Your dream I dreamed
Dear wateringhole
A bride divine
In ruby eyed crown
Deep underneath
Your soft waterdown
I breathe in the fumes
Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride
I confess myself doomed
You won again
Godly different kind
My air has ceased
To the deepest peace of mind
What it once ment
Is lost in the end
With profound words
Of just being friends
A timeglass you turned
Of hours getting late
How fatal then
Is all of your hate
I breathe in the fumes
Of oils unfathomed
With glory and pride
I confess myself doomed
You won again
Godly different kind
My air has ceased
To the deepest peace of mind
6. Alteration X 10
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
It comes smoothly at start
Stirs gently in the colour pot
Centrifuge
Restore amends
For every spiralchange
A snowflake bride
A heroine
(---Heroin, psilocybin, mescaline, psilocin, fucking oxytocin bitch)
A quark resolution of god
An angel in powder snow
Symmetrical asymmetry a newborn star of logic
A newborn star of magic
Take a shortwave frequency ride
(Any you like)
What you believe in, you'll find
Close your eyes to see
This will take awhile...
I wipe the steamy window lustre
Today I'll attend a new planet earth
After you sir...
7. Four Leary Biscuits
(Music: Edlund)
8. Only In My Tears It Lasts
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
Overhead my spirit flies
In plasticide and crimson skies
Whispering winds in moonlit wood
A totem oak once golden stood
How I wish that you were here
Before all flowers disappeared
We'd lay together in the sun
Before the mindrape had begun
Now stones are falling from my hands
Are shaking all my beloed land
A watery glimse back on my past
And only in my tears it lasts
9. The Whores Of Babylon
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Just won't forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds
Cling, cling to your mind, my words
Never trust a foreign race
All the sweetness you have heard
Has put your soul in carbon haze
Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Just won't forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds
Cling, cling shattered nerves
To the queen you did adore
Has turned to stiff ebonite curves
In scarlet waves on distant shore
Everything they do and say
Might even fool a clever mind
Just won't forget their price to pay
As silk betrays and truth unwinds
10. Kite
(Music: Edlund)
11. Phantasma De Luxe
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
This dole crowner gallows me
As this mere welkin hallowed be
Whereupon I trick and train and tire
To limn my umbered love in fire
Before this noble mare bewrays
As I clearly see it all decays
In debile coil of smoke suspires
Ay our last orison quickens as we
Are drumbling near this poize of free
Quell me maculate slowly dyer
Case my remains with sharpened brier
Atone me to my throes curtail
To dim and dire fields I vail
And my eale's but a slumbering lier
Then so lingered here but none
To buckle back what had begun
In molten aeons caged desire
Dared phantasma us much higher
Ceased to milch the clover flower
Neither raindrops nor my lover
Shall restore what has been done
When we're all keeled in freezing sun
12. Mount Marilyn
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
The threne my love that opens now
In cattle blood of aery brow
Con that life's a dream not to affy
As embodied matter love will die
You twinkle still in argentine
When I palmy dout the rapid din
To force the mure, the pain I hide
As you're not longer by my side
Mazed I helmed this crater deem
Stranger than a stranger seems
Wished to shroud the sortance leer
And yarely wink the eyes of fear
Splay the moon that foolish be
And let the sunshine ravin me
Beyond the love I do behold
A ken I saw, a fane of gold
I'd peize in pounds our insane blend
And phantom laid a smile I send
Eke an ounce of purple fire
And fairy eyes no longer twire
Would fain to stalk the colour fields
But tickle i shall stark lonely yield
Merely in drowning water clay
As anguish wears but shades of grey
To retain the chains of elder squire
I'd prune the funeral skies denier
Once in awhile he still appeals
To remind you all it's still for real
Breathing smoke and fire
But the face of evil that haunted us
Was never ever present thus
The cupid rainbow ties an orb
In which every demon shall absorb
Do you think I care?
Do you really think I care?
13. A Deeper Kind Of Slumber
(Music, Lyrics: Edlund)
Robin goodfellow
Dianae, my muse
Morpheus in my heart
Your sand in my veins
It's a deeper kind of slumber
What is universe anyway
But a pouch of silver coins
The intense breathing
Of a dying animal
A foreboding of afterlife
Master keys in oaken chest
The somewhere is mine
And from there I'll continue
All I asked for was a little love
Meet me on the other side
Where as a rose I will wake
Though blind I'll follow
Every step you take
Dianae, my muse
Dianae, my solitude
Cease to exist, rise to exist no more
It's a deeper kind of slumber
