The Girl Who Was... Death Lyrics - Singles - Devil Doll

Don't trust him 

When he turns his back 

He looks at you 

Don't trust him 

When his eyes are closed: 

He still looks at you 

I fled, I fled 

Devouring the space 

But the shapeless bulk 

Was chasing me -enraged- 

Breathing my footsteps 

Unsated with killing me 

Slowly 

Nailing my incandescent thoughts 

Along the border 

Of insanity 

In a place where 

A procession of fleshly numbers 

Slides incessantly 

Into the ironic waters 

Of the cosmos 

Seeking to remember 

The sense 

Of the impossible word: 

Escape 

"Who are you looking for? 

What are you looking at?" 

A light? "a star" 

A boat? "an insect" 

A plane? "a flying fish" 

"I'm looking at somebody 

Who belongs to my world" 

"This is your world 

I am your only world" 

I can't remember 

When the fog 

- unravelling 

The real and inexplicable 

Contradictions 

That crowd together 

The human brain lobes - 

Imprisoned me 

In the spider's web 

Of the one who touches 

The minds of the mad 

Curbing and churning 

The confetti of their thoughts 

"Without corpses 

There's no war 

And without war 

There's no victory 

My dear!" 

I will not be pushed 

Filed, stamped 

Inedxed 

Briefed, debriefed 

Or numbered! 

- Nightmare - 

Welcome, my freind! 

Here whole generations 

Of ghosts 

Have raised 

Their eyes and wings 

Each morning 

To unbounded space 

With the innocent joy 

Of crysalids 

Greeting 

Their final metamorphosis 

And in the evening 

They're dead and dropping 

Like lifeless flowers 

Swayed by the plaintive 

Whistling of the wind 

You must learn, we are all pawns 

On this hopeless chessboard; 

Your move! 

"Maybe you don't know my face 

But well you know my name 

- My name is death" 

Dressed in white, smiling 

The girl who was death 

And loved me so much 

Desiring to bring me back to her 

The only way out 

To no purpose 

"Why are they trying 

To kill me?" 

"Because they don't know 

You are already 

Dead!" 

Face to face 

Shut up 

In the cage of time 

The man and I 

Joined by fate 

In the degree absolute 

The challange 

Without return match 

Where the price to one is: 

Living 

And pain to the other is: 

Not dying! 

The mask! The mask! 

I must take off 

His mask! 

Now! Now! 

But just as victory 

Seems finally 

To favour me 

Aand the unknown 

Persecutor appears 

- Frame after frame - 

In a slow instantaneous 

Electric shock 

Here is my contorted face 

To reveal, sneering 

The final dramatic 

Deceit 

When victim and hangman 

Exchange roles 

The triumphant freedom 

Of a thousand dreams 

Evaporates 

In the reality 

Of a new incubus 

- Once again - 

Made of 

Smiles, masks, lifeless confetti 

Be seeing you! 

Wandering through the catacombs of life 

Desperately I plunge into the whirl 

Wandering through the catacombs of life 

Slowly I fall into the whirl of 

- Hell -
