Somber Regards lyrics by Promethean

1. Rat Dance

Ride, ride on the solar winds of dreams Ride through the divine scenes, Let me hold you near In a way, You are still somewhat unreal, But behind your eyes of steel, I can sense a burning fire Ride, ride on wings of night One has to guide the blind, Make them see the light Come, come and greet me with love Come and be the one, Let me hold you near And now, as the dream and the spell have been broken Words once beautiful spoken, Is there anything left for us From the ashes, the whores and the junkies now wander Trying to pull me down under, Away from the noise.

2. It´s The Light

He knows you well, he has watched your love decay The snake comes in an expected form But in your heart, there are places, you managed to hide from him so well Lady of dreams and many songs, your memory can never fade Mistakes made, promises broken Even he who guides the blind must fall I know you well, I've watched your love decay The snake comes in an expected form In your heart, there are places, you managed to hide from me so well

3. Blazah

Go, go away said the man and I went down, down the stairs, In the kitchen the day was spent I looked at the household objects, very old And in the backyard kids were playing, I was told Rays of sun, shimmering sun Rays of sun, Promethean sun Back in the backyard the rain had stopped, stopped to flow I looked at my brand new watch, time to go Rays of sun, shimmering sun Rays of sun, Promethean sun

4. Self-portrait

Forgive me sister for I've sinned now you must make pay hurt me well, hard as hell, so that I will be purified Come and conquer my heart with your voice and your laughter Even though you don't care this should happen much faster The eclipse of my soul, my soul is very old old as time, cold as ice and covered with bitter scars The old man sang and the crowd burst in tears would that happen to me I'll reveal you my fears In my hour of pain there was no-one around not a friend, not a foe, but now I'm back for good They say that I'm cold and I do plead guilty But you can not blame me you don't know what I've been through.

5. Somber Regards

Blood once so divine bled on the rocks, my lifeless corpse left for the beats In your mind memory of me had already started to fade Embraced to death, but never released, all that she wept didn't much help It's so unfair wasn't their fault since she was born all went just wrong Crimson light, blinding my eyes how futile and small it makes me feel Feverish dream, like flesh covered with flies a weeping hayfield, yet still so real No sleeping pills taken tonight memories they live painful and bright Like a ghost in her gown, waiting for dawn. In her suite where the ghostlike ones meet Crimson light, blinding my eyes how futile and small it makes me feel Feverish dream, like flesh covered with flies a weeping hayfield, yet still so real

6. Spiderland

"What a marvellous dream", I heard a bird scream footprints filled with hot lead dead babies well fed Come and follow me now and I will show you how to find the door and enter spiderland There behind the trees we saw the spiders but to our surprise they were much bigger than we had thought Long hairy legs and eyes so mean maybe we should run, was my last thought What a horrible dream I heard myself scream fallen out of the bed the cat was to be fed But one thing had been left undone the spider's door had been left open

7. Penny Whistle + Attack Of Überwermi

I'm the last of the kind of the great pipers bastard son of the great god pan Come to a forest with a cold north wind you might hear my penny-whistle sing I've travelled the world for hundreds of years and I sure know what's going on I've been to caves and mountaintops today the nature is not too strong The cancer be eaten by a giant worm death being spread everywhere now is the time we shall have our revenge and take the final share [instrumental "Attack Of Überwermi" in the middle part] I'm the last of the kind of the great pipers bastard son of the great god pan No more forest but a cold north wind can hear no penny-whistle sing.
