MOONSPELL

THE ANTIDOTE

1. IN AND ABOVE MEN

In and above men
In and above men

The fury of waters revolving still
Your voices are silences when they speak through me
To the crossroads we're turning our backs
And in each of your wounds
I plant a seed of belief

In and above men

The end which is ours
Unclear still
The thirst growing stronger
And still won't believe
Someday we'll come out of your dreams
And through the eyes you now close
The immense light of the deep

In and above men
I, inside men
I, above men
I, inside men
I, above men

The fury of human
Revolting still
Will we be together
Finally
In the crossroad you gave me your back
And through each of your wounds
You'll bleed the light over me

In and above men
I, inside men
I, above men
I, inside men
I, above men

In and above men
In and above men
I, inside men
I, above men
I, inside men
I, above men

Bleeding the skies all over me

Bleeding the skies all over me

Skies, skies
Skies, skies
Skies, skies
Skies, skies
Lowering, lowering
Skies, skies
Lowering, lowering
Skies.

2. FROM LOWERING SKIES

Diurnal shall be your redemption
The last of spirit now leaves your body
We'll act as if you are not there
Seeing is not
Believing
Believing
Believing
Believing

Possessional your communication
What gets inside us the moment we're born?
What was that descending?
What was that descending?

From lowering skies
From lowering skies
From lowering skies
From lowering skies

I am no one
The center of universe
What got inside you the moment you're born
Could you see him descending
Descending supreme
Could you see him descending

From lowering skies
From lowering skies
From lowering skies
From lowering skies

From lowering skies
From lowering skies
From lowering skies
From lowering skies.

3. EVERYTHING INVADED

From the soul to its waste
The common hates his evil twin
Everything invaded
In its simplicity

How did you get inside me?
How did you get inside me?

Still all fascinated
Invaded
Still all fascinated
Invaded
By everything

Still all fascinated
Invaded
Still all fascinated
Invaded

In the first morning light
The touch of death covering skies
Everything invaded
And all the fears inspired

How did you get inside me?
How did you get inside me?

Still all celebrated
Invaded
Still all celebrated
Invaded
By everything

Still all celebrated
Invaded
Still all celebrated
Invaded

Everything so full
In the lives I've taken with me
All our moments wasted
All is getting in

Still all violated
Divided
Still all violated
Divided

And all the grace disturbed
All existence false
All your dead generations!
I'm a son of yours and I'm coming back

Everything invaded
In its finality
Tell me, will it hurt
When you get out, outside of me?

Everything is breaking
Why have we stopped here?
Everything invaded
I am a son of yours and I am giving up

Everything invaded
Invaded
Everything invaded
Invaded
By everything.

4. THE SOUTHERN DEATHSTYLE

The silver bullet, so earthly fast
Forever rope, so hard to find
The silver bullet, so earthly thrashed
Forever rope, symbol of trust

The mandrake's root, your restless lover
The morning blade, first to awake
The morning shame that you can't take
The mandrake's root, in venenum veritas, veritas

The silver bullet, the southern deathstyle
Forever rope, forever tied
The mandrake's pill, your magic route to nowhere
The morning breaks, its lunar still

The elements all molded together
A family whose name is death

The elements in circlefear
Bullet, root, blade and rope
All hold so dear!

5. ANTIDOTE

Here is to fear
For keeping us alert
And here is to sleep
For making understand

Here's to the crowning roots
Placing us nowhere
Here's to the laughable wings
Taking us nowhere

Here's to the eve
Of the day which will never come
Here's to retreat
To ease the pain

Here's to resistance
Laughing at ourselves
Here's to defeat
How dare you come so late?

The cup is empty
Shall be filled no more
And all the thirsty
Can now approach
The cup is empty
Shall be filled no more
And all the thirsty
Can now approach

Can now approach
Can now approach
Can now approach

Can now approach

Can now approach
Can now approach
Can now approach

The antidote.

6. CAPRICORN AT HER FEET

Snowbird, ablaze and hurt
Brighter, fearless, just like a runaway
Princess never-a-smile
Oh, child! What makes you try?
Crying and sobbing
You greet the other day
She who never touches ground

Spreading an eclipse
Where never the sun shines
Spreading an eclipse
Where never the sun shines
At her feet
At her feet

Frostbite, astray, will, faith
Haunting, hunting, she rules the game
Twin soul, you are always a strange
Nothing ever makes you afraid
Promising, threatening
She looks the other way
She who never touches ground

Spreading an eclipse
Where never the sun shines
Spreading an eclipse
Where never the sun shines
At her feet
At her feet

Starlike, you are never to be counted
Look at your hands, child!
Destinies grow back to them

Daughter sun
With nothing to say, to say
Never a fullmoon
Just the sickening ray
Just the sickening ray

Prudent
In tears hiding
No water shed
The sign of the cross
Will take you to bed

In capricorn

Spreading an eclipse
May never the sun shine
Spreading an eclipse
May never the sun shine
At her feet
At her feet

Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow
Speak gently, for she can hear
Your fears grow
Your fears grow.

7. LUNAR STILL

The principles firmly confused
Shake them awake
The circles vicious
All full of wishes
All full of wishes

The vapors which invite us in
In hope we bring the final piece
Afraid of what it means
Afraid of what it means

The icy patterns ascending dead
As I decide to stay
And cover with shadows my comeback way
And cover with shadows my comeback way

I look outside and it's lunar still.

8. A WALK ON THE DARKSIDE

Walk

Now you dream inside
Her sleep of death
You get to keep your soul
Until she claims it back
A darkness without end
Morning was drained
Here comes the rain

And on the other side
All is dark again
And the dark walls
At your side again

And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again

You are the dream inside
Her sleep of death
And as I move through her soul
I'll find you hiding in there
The darkness with no end
With a light of herself
No one can forget

And on the other side
All is dark again

And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again

And on the other side
All is dark again
And the dark walls
At your side again
May you walk the darkside again

And you walk
The darkside again

And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again
And you walk
The darkside again, again, again, again.

9. CRYSTAL GAZING

Starts as a feeling pure
This vitreous second sight
Without hallucinating, hating
Captive of a future bright

Fortune telling
Honors for madmen only!
Through the looking glass
And when the glass looks back

Why is everything to be denied?
Why is everything to be denied?
Why is everything to be denied?
That could make life a little bright

Why is everything to be denied?
Why is everything

Horrors guessing, exceptional
Through details all revived
Aligned in the death wish primal
The crystal gazing silver eye

We are the feeble standing
Before the great awakening
The livestock roaming
Counting the seconds to
Our second coming

Why is everything to be denied?
That could make life a little bright

Why is everything to be denied?
Why is everything

Why is everything to be denied?
That could make life a little bright
Why is everything to be denied?
That could make life a little bright
Why is everything to be denied?

Through the looking glass
And when the glass looks back
Yourself as a fraud.

10. AS WE ETERNALLY SLEEP ON IT

The seed of men
From trees now freezing
All silvered leaves
With message written

The imitators
In sequences bright
All perpetraitors
In chains of gold

The wait we got our hearts so wet
The legend rains our drops of sweat
Sweet all the season, the crop is death
Reaped on the rush, you hate yourself

The best of men
Through racks now stumbling
Learning the blind walk
All apprentices

The fiercest men
In sheep's clothing
Have born exhausted
To everything

And yes, we all believe in madness
We're being born at the sound of ends
And yes, we all believe in cruelty
We breed it out so easily

It used to be the pride of men
Now a flame put out by the cold in his hand

And yes, we all have signed the pacts
We knew so well nothing was left
And yes, we all believe in beauty
As we eternally
As we eternally sleep on it

The last of men
All hide in here
Domesticated by everything

What's left of the man
I have within
Now gone forever
The beast sets in

And yes, we all can'take the fury
When nothing else is supposed to be
Consumed are now all the rewards
As we eternally
As we eternally
As we eternally
As we eternally
As we eternally
As we eternally.
