Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside Cast down all memories from a
past and future world The cynic icons and the cryptic writings As a
picturesque creation in force and spirit Against their reason and will, it
is time Give darkness it's passion plea
The venomous tongue The
inevitable poison Paralyze the angels Freeze the forgiven Baptize in
fire Unleash the devil at heart
Unleash the maelstrom
mephisto
(chorus:) So sinner, mourn well Make all the swans suffer
in hell The maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace To revel and feast in
undelivered grace
Pledged to judgmental arrogance in Drawn principles
of ignorant falsehood To comprehend that the sin of life is life itself A
tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep
In the dimness
surrounding the towers of the castle Where the ravens spread their wings out
wide Dwell in depths of the darker self at any shore of infinity And watch
the relentless paint the soil black What is being formed echoes throughout
eternity As the painter chooses color no more
Hold your shadows close
when the comedy is over As the days of mourning seem to be the days of
joy Fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes A convict
wallowing in a lifetime of lies…lies
