MOONSPELL

DARKNESS AND HOPE

1. DARKNESS AND HOPE

All your darkness and hope

So this is
The exemplar deathstyle
You told me about
You want my seed in
Is this the treason
I bare the fame from?
My fatal freedom
The omniswansong

Carry the news of darkness and hope

Carry the news of darkness and hope

So this is
The underworld
You have in your heart
You hide in your room
I'm so sorry to say
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh

Carry the news of darkness and hope

Carry the news of darkness and hope

So here I have your act of love
Within the poison of your every word
Each night you stay in
Each night I have to run

Knowing from darkness and hope
There is
There is no return

Carry the news of darkness and hope.

2. FIREWALKING

Help me fall from grace
Need you to be incomplete
I am the impostor at your feet
Is it your first time
Or have been tempted before
Downward into the pulsing life
Drawing from below

Try firewalking inside of me
When everything falls apart
Try firewalking inside of me
When everything falls apart

Won't you fall from grace
The climax is complete
I am at the wingbeat
From my retreat
Or is it your first time
Or have been tempted before
Downward into the pulsing secret
Laying, laying below

Try firewalking inside of me
Try firewalking inside of me

Try firewalking inside of me
Try firewalking inside of me

Try firewalking inside of me
When everything falls apart

Try firewalking inside of me
When everything falls apart

When everything falls apart
When everything falls apart

Try firewalking inside of me.

3. NOCTURNA

Nocturna steals the night

High heels of crystal
Stuck in the heart
Daylight that heals
The full moon scars
Spider strategy
And the wish to be
At one with me
Throughout the fright

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

Sister of Cain
All our breed slain
The youthful oath
Remains the same
Le mal de vivre
That never ends
But the hunt goes on
Throughout the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night

It is so real
So full of light
Nocturna steals the night.

4. HEARTSHAPED ABYSS

Never resist
The firewalker
He has been sent
To educate you
Never look back
At the great deep
And never dance
To that curse he sings

Never resist
The lifelong pessimist
He is the leader
And not the enemy
My heart complete
Put to destroy you
My darkness obsolete
Please let me follow you

And when we meet there
Into the heartshaped abyss
You'll scar me with your kiss
Deep in the heart of abyss
And when we meet there
Into the heartshaped abyss
You'll forgive me everything
scared away
scared away
scared away

Never resist
The firewalker
He has been sent
To lay a curse on you
Never resist
Never look back
Liar I'm ready to push you

And when we meet there
Into the heartshaped abyss
You'll scar me with your kiss
Deep in the heart of abyss
And when we meet there
Into the heartshaped abyss
You'll forgive me everything
Scared away
Scared away
Scared away

Forgive me
Deep in the heart of abyss
Forgive me
Deep in the heart of abyss
Forgive me
Deep in the heart of abyss
Scared away
Scared away

Let's get away from this world
To a place we're still beautiful.

5. DEVILRED

She wears devilred

Go

She sweats the poison
All over her
It keeps me quiet
Inside her storm
She has the method
No other knows

Red as the veins
She likes to swim in
Floating so gently
Through this human misery

She must be a part
Of a highest plan
Something I don't understand

Being part of a highest plan
Something I don't understand

Devilred
She wears devilred
Devilred
She wears devilred

She's selling a damned soul
To whoever pays the most
Her body - the cure
For all evil, all evil and good

Red as the veins
She likes to swim in
Floating so gently
Through this human misery

She must be a part
Of the highest plan
Something I don't understand
Being part of the highest plan
Being part of the highest plan
Something I don't understand
Being part of the highest

Devilred
She wears devilred
Devilred
She wears devilred

Devil, devilred (4 x).

6. GHOSTSONG

Outside the mythic rains
Let us know we are not insane
Blood debts still to be paid
Instead we celebrate the stranger

Inside the mythic pains are played
Blood doubts are asked again
Beware the answers you can not tame
Might take you too far away

Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
Gonna haunt you and protect you too
Gonna haunt you
Gonna hurt you

And if we survive this dawn
We wish we'd see the day
Die to comeback a single time
That face in the window
Is never the same

Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
Gonna haunt you
And protect you

Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
Gonna haunt you
And protect you

Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
Gonna haunt you
And protect you too

Say what you are
Gonna hurt you
Say what you are
Gonna hurt you
Gonna haunt you
Gonna hurt you
Gonna hurt you.

7. RAPACES

Eternal life runs so slow
While you play your lamentation show
Eternal kisses are cold
Why do you think they are beautiful?
Let the candles burn
And the stakes go through the soul

Not all vampires suck blood
Not all of them die for love

Eternal life runs, so very slow
Impossible, so very wrong, wrong
Final prayers are loud
How do you think that yours will sound?
Not all romantic wounds
Some of us are strong

Not all vampires suck blood
Not all of them die for love

Eternal life runs so very slow
You are the star of your lamentation show
Eternal kisses are gold
Yes I think they are beautiful
Let all candles burn
Some of us are strong

Not all vampires suck blood
Not all of them die for love

Not all vampires suck blood
Not all of them die for love.

8. MADE OF STORM

I am the flood
Who drags the dirt
And lives on it
Survives on it
She is the soil
With whom I flirt
And rots with it
And rots with it

I am the flood
Who purifies
I guess she calls me
The lord of lies

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
Feels like she is made of storm

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
Feels like she is made of storm

I am the flood
Who likes the dirt
And sleeps with it
And dreams with it
She is the soil
With whom I flirt
She rots within
She rots within

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
Feels like she is made of storm

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
Feels like she is made of storm

I am the flood
Who purifies
She doesn't know
She's fucking with
The lord of lies

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
Feels like she is made of storm

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
Feels like she is made of storm

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm

When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm
When I'm inside her
Feels like she is made of storm.

9. HOW WE BECAME FIRE

How we became fire?
Slaves to the small desire
Of ignoring wrong and right

When we could have been water
The shape of all things
When we could have been water
The end of all things

Burning
With you
Burning
With you

At once the grace and the curse
At once the grace and the curse

How we became fire?
When we could have been earth
The ground you sleep, rest in

When we could have been air
Follow you everywhere

When we could have been air
Follow you everywhere

At once the grace and the curse
At once the grace and the curse

Burning
With you
Burning
With you
Burning
With you
Burning
With you
Burning
With you

How we became fire?
Slaves to the great desire
Of enlightening you and I

How we became fire?
Slaves to the great desire
Of saving you and I

At once the grace and the curse.

10. THAN THE SERPENTS IN MY HANDS

"Dorme, dorme meu menino
  Dorme no mar dos sargaços
  Que mais vale o mar a pino
  Que as serpentes nos meus braços"
  Mário Cesáriny

And when all life as you know it
Fails
All ghostlike lips taste just the
Same
What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

Sleep, sleep now my child
In the sea of crystal trouble
For better is the violent sigh
Than all you leave behind
In your eyes a dark so subtle
Tells you walk, but never fly
Never fly
To leave us all, to leave us all behind
And when all life as you know it
Fails
All ghostlike lips taste just the
Same
What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

Down, down terrible child
To look at it is a sin
For better is to hold that smile
And leave us all behind
In your eyes a mark so subtle
Tells you walk, but never fly
Never fly
To leave us all, to leave us all behind
And when all life as you know it
Fails
All ghostlike lips taste just the
Same
What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

"Dorme, dorme meu menino
  Dorme no mar dos sargaços
  Que mais vale o mar a pino
  Que as serpentes nos meus braços"

What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Than the serpents in my arms

What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms.

11. MR. CROWLEY

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, you did talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah, you waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear the maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with your backs to the wall

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead

Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

Mr. Crowley.
