Away, Delight, Away lyrics

As false as our minds our eyes refuse to see

They claw for the falseness in me

From where all life springs anew

We are cleansed through the crystal fire

Fill me with sound, fill me with hatred

Let my life bring life to the soil

The soil beneath my feet

Messenger of pain sailing silence

Commander of my sorrow riding rage

And this is forgotten, leaving me

Infinity is eternal - never born so it may never die

The colours speak my name

Through the crowns I am baptized in the

First gnawing rays from a blackened sun

In the name of my blood I curse thee

Shelter me under the trees

Spread your twilight wings on me

My broken body is dripping with sin

Your skin so delicate in taste

Your undemanding bliss (oh) will carry me far

Uh-ah!

I bid farewell to this godforsaken land

Nevermore shall I return

I join with the riders on the horizon

For they are my blood!

For they are my saviours!

They bring me hatred, bring me fire

They take me down to the land I know not

Then crush me - Take me down

Then they build me once more again

Slayer of my anger sailing silence

The angel of my lust

She is tasting shame

Taste the flame
