I cried for madder music and for stronger wine, But when the feast is finished and the lamps expire, Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! In Perpetuum lyrics buy track This is the tale of the child left behind Of a cheating killing kind there is no crime I claim the right to pity and to shame to reason and to gain There will be time The years from you to me For us the cherry bleeds This passionate debate The truth dictates our fate We search forever more We search forever more Oblivion confides The greater plan resides We stammer as we lead Dumfound, the final deed The distance and the night Transgress the morning light Discharge the guilt we feel Confessing what is real The years from you to me For us the cherry bleeds This passionate debate The truth dictates our fate We search forever more We search forever more 4.
Motive lyrics buy track We caught the tread of dancing feet, We loitered down the moonlit street, And stopped beneath the harlot's house. Like strange mechanical grotesques, Making fantastic arabesques, The shadows raced across the blind. We watched the ghostly dancers spin To sound of horn and violin, Like black leaves wheeling in the wind.
Like wire-pulled automatons, Slim silhouetted skeletons Went sidling through the slow quadrille. They took each other by the hand, And danced a stately saraband; Their laughter echoed thin and shrill. Sometimes a clockwork puppet pressed A phantom lover to her breast, Sometimes they seemed to try to sing. Sometimes a horrible marionette Came out, and smoked its cigarette Upon the steps like a living thing.
Then turning to my love, I said, "The dead are dancing with the dead, The dust is whirling with the dust. Then suddenly the tune went false, The dancers wearied of the waltz, The shadows ceased to wheel and whirl. And down the long and silent street, The dawn, with silver-sandalled feet, Crept like a frightened girl. The Harlot's House by Oscar Wilde 5. Hallucinations Dream World mix buy track 6.

Byzantium lyrics buy track The unpurged images of day recedes; The Emperor's drunken soldiery are abed; Night resonance recedes, night-walkers' song After great cathedral gong; A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains All that man is, All mere complexities, The fury and the mire of human veins. Before me floats an image, man or shade, Shade more than man, more image than a shade; For Hades' bobbin bound in mummy-cloth May unwind the winding path; A mouth that has no moisture and no breath Breathless mouths may summon; I hail the superhuman; I call it death-in-life and life-in-death.
Miracle, bird or golden handiwork, More miracle than bird or handiwork, Planted on the star-lit golden bough, Can like the cocks of Hades crow, Or, by the moon embittered, scorn aloud In glory of changeless metal Common bird or petal And all complexities of mire or blood.
At midnight on the Emperor's pavement flit Flames that no faggot feeds, nor steel has lit, Nor storm disturbs, flames begotten of flame, Where blood-begotten spirits come And all complexities of fury leave, Dying into a dance, An agony of trance, An agony of flame that cannot singe a sleeve.
Astraddle on the dolphin's mire and blood, Spirit after spirit! The smithies break the flood, The golden smithies of the Emperor! Marbles of the dancing floor Break bitter furies of complexity, Those images that yet Fresh images beget, That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea. Yeats 9. The Seventh Seal lyrics buy track Anybody see a knight pass this way? I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday His crusade was a search - for God and their same It's been a long way to carry on Anybody hear of plague in this town?
The town I've left behind was burned to the ground A young girl on a stake, her face framed in flames Cried "I'm not a witch - God knows my name" The knight he watched with fear - he needed to know He ran where he might feel Gods breath And in the misty church, he knelt to confess The face within the booth was Mr Death My life's a vain pursuit - of meaningless miles Why can't God touch me with a sign?
Tales, marvellous tales Of ships and stars and isles where good men rest, Where nevermore the rose of sunset pales,And winds and shadows fall towards the West: And there the world's first huge white-bearded kings In dim glades sleeping, murmur in their sleep, And closer round their breasts the ivy clings, Cutting its pathway slow and red and deep.
