THE SICK ROSE
O Rose thou art sick
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy
FIGURE OUT (SPIRIT OF LIES)
Flowers in the window
Kisses in the rain
the loneliness
the spirit of lies
has showed me the way
you’ve showed me light of the city
you’ve accounted stars in the sky
bright night’s
a looking over I
freedom in the space

a looking over I
freedom in the space
oh, yeah…

THE ANGEL
i dreamt a dream! what can it mean?
and that i was a maiden queen
guarded by an angel mild
witless woe, was ne’er beguil’d
and i wept both night and day
and he wip’d my tears away
and i wept both day and night
and hid from him my hearts delight
so he took his wings and fled
soon my angel came again
i was arm’d, he came in vain
he came in vain
then the morn blush’d rosy red
i dried my tear & arm’d my fears
with ten thousand shields and spears
and hid from him my hearts delight
so he took his wings and fled
soon my angel came again
i was arm’d, he came in vain
he came in vain
soon my angel came again
i was arm’d, he came in vain
for the time of youth was fled
and grey hairs
soon my angel were on my head
soon my angel
were on my head
POISON TREE
I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end
I was angry with my foe
I told it not, my wrath did grow
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
deceitful wiles
And it grew both day and night
Till it bore an apple bright
And my foe beheld it shine
And he knew that it was mine
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles
In my garden stole
The poison tree
MISS LIE
25 years in her life
it was not enough
to show her all the truth
Wondering all the things
that she once did
and how much
she wanna do
Sarah told a lot of lies
and made her life a big joke, yeah
Sarah told a lot of lies
and made her life a big joke, yeah
Always looking for another way
to hide from reality
trying to get some sense from the world
but her way
is no O.K. for me
Sarah keeps on breaking the rules
and makes her life a big joke, yeah
Sarah told a lot of lies
and made her life a big joke, yeah
Nothing else really matters
when you talk to miss lie…
nothing else really matters

A LITTLE GIRL LOST
Children of the future age
Reading this indignant page
Know that in a former time
Love! Sweet love was thought a crime
In the age of gold
Free from winters cold
Youth and maiden bright
To the holy light
Naked in the sunny beams delight
Once a youthful pair
Fill´d with softest care
Met in garden bright
Where the holy light
Had just removed the curtains of the night
There in rising day
On the grass they play
Parents were afar
Strangers came not near
And the maiden soon forgot her fear
Children of the future age
Reading this indignant page
Know that in a former time
Love! Sweet love was thought a crime
Tired with kisses sweet
They agree to meet
When the silent sleep
Waves o´er heavens deep
And the weary tires wanderers weep
To her father white
Came the maiden bright
But his loving look
Like the holy book
All her tender limbs with terror shook
Met in garden bright
Where the holy light
Had just removed the curtains of the night
Ona! Pale and weak
To thy father speak
O the trembling fear
O the dismal care
That shakes the blossoms of my hoary hair
Children of the future age
Reading this indignant page
Know that in a former time
Love! Sweet love was thought a crime
BRIGHT MAGIC
Coming home back
from a long night
Once again the world is his room
The needle invites
to a flight
the magic powder bright as the moon
Now that he’s
feeling all right
everything around is so cool
Morning light comes
as a bride
Reflecting on the empty spoon
And she is so far away
he just can’t take it no more
he needs a reason so bad
to carry on ‘til the end
QUEEN OF HEARTS
Don’t make mistakes
Don’t break the rules
They’re secret loosers
Don’t listen to fools
The price is cheap
The prize is great
And we can play together
Stalk the cards
‘cause we need to win
all over the world you know
the game has just begun
Hey man, don’t waste your time
try to keep yourself alive
so take your cards and start to play
‘cause some feelings are blind
Don’t make mistakes
Don’t break the rules
They’re secret loosers
Don’t listen to fools
The price is cheap
The prize is great
And we can play together
Nobody is gonna defeat us
‘Cause I’m giving the cards
THE FLY
little fly
thy summers play
my thoughtless hand
has brush’d away
am not i
a fly like three
or art not thou
thou a man like me
for i dance
and drink & sing
till some blind hand
shall brush my wing
if thought is life
and strengh & breath
and the want
of thought is death
then am i
a happy fly
then am i
a happy fly
if i live
or if i die
then am i
a happy fly
if i live
or if i die
THE LITTLE VAGABOND
Dear mother, dear mother, the church is cold
But the ale-house is healthy and pleasant and warm
Besides I can tell where I am used well
Such usage in Heaven will never do well
But if at the church they would give us some ale
And a pleasant fire our souls to regale
We'd sing and we'd pray all the live-long day
Nor ever once wish from the church to stray
And God, like a father rejoicing to see
His children as pleasant and happy as he,
Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the barrel,
But kiss him, and give him both drink and apparel
Then the parson might preach, and drink, and sing
And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring
And modest Dame Lurch, who is always at church
Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch
And God, like a father rejoicing to see
His children as pleasant and happy as he
Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the barrel
But kiss him, and give him both drink and apparel
