Dressed with a piece of the sky, we have the sixth sense We’re clean and limpid Dragon’s blood incense Oh goddess oh horned god, you hold our life 
 Inside this circle of rocks 
we won’t cause offense In our mobile temple mysteries will commence Oh goddess oh horned god, calm and strife We charge our tools with the moonshine and tie up body and soul with twine Air my breath, Earth my flesh, scarlet water runs in my veins 

Fire is setting my mind alight Sensations teach us ancestral things 
The world’s vibrating, divine bells and strings
 Blue moon, you’re the mirror of our evolution Blue moon, dark and light adaptation And when we’re looking at stars,
we’re not looking into the past
 Energies are rising up! 
We’re pushing the envelope!

Wait for 03:50
I dream you blow the lid off your crush Please don’t laugh, don’t twist the knife You’ll forget her if you leave in a rush Three years are nothing in a life Oh I need to get things clear in my head, You know take a break and write. You disturbed my sensory system I can’t contain this appetite You tell you don’t want to hurt me But you don’t want to hurt yourself And I’m crying, and I’m crying, and I’m crying I don’t want to wait for I don’t want to wait for your love You kiss me You touch me You taste me You take me It’s the sound of your name when you’re not there It’s the pressure of your lips It’s the truth when you say that I’m rare It’s this young and pure bliss Oh I feel you lie through omission Silences echo like alarms But all these things give me affection And I can’t renounce your arms You tell you don’t want to lose me But you don’t want to lose yourself And I’m crying, and I’m crying, and I’m crying I don’t want to wait for I don’t want to wait for your love 
You kiss me You touch me You taste me You take me

In the water 05:09
You know what? He found 
me in moving waters 
Leeches on skin
, algae in hair, hair, hair Lying on the pebbles connected to the swaying sky 
I fed the yang, I am the yin, the yin, eh eh eh My church is a torrent, Truth has a strong current It's more than folklore Ohh I fall He grew with the hounds 
but he scorned the hunter His kith and kin are birds and hares, hares, hares
 He felt strange and thirsty He dragged me away from the elements
 to show me to his parents
 I love you but I will die, 
I love you but I will dry out My church is a torrent Truth has a strong current

 It's more than folklore Ohh I fall

Working and the week-end enhancing the dreams
 Let sleeping dogs lie Let the moon choose her child Midnight ghosts
 light human carcasses Ambitions stillborn ... they see Some dry lips kissed my hands two nights before Christmas Distortion of my shape, a time warp, it’s too late All I’ve done is vain, all I’ve done is…. Midnight ghosts
 will make a feast of my ashes 
Faith is time-worn...they see Some dry lips kissed my hands two nights before Christmas

5x5 04:02
The barriers between dimensions 
are weak but we are strong
 We’re heading for the front line We faced alpha males oppression We survived the teen years... Sunnydale and Columbine. Night after night 
I grow and I think about the potentials All the women can rock 
all over this sick sad world We never turn the other cheek We aren’t frightened chicks 
Blondie could you hit them for me? Free your inner drives!

 I am, 
I am I‘m the object of your tensions Another slayer activated me but it’s fine! All I want is exaltation! Perhaps to disappear?
 is his heart better than mine?! I am Faith, you’ re the chosen one
 Sometimes I’m perfect too 
I inhale to a count of three Bravery comes to the fore
 I am unique, I am sexy 
I am five by five!

 I came in your holy body This risky remedy 
sent shivers down my spine It tasted like self rejection My tragedy was clear
 There’s only one anodyne I’ll protect each and everyone
, fight against myself too I will surpass my history and burn the archives Night after night 
I grow and I think about the potentials All the women can rock, 
you’re not the only one in the world We can’t deny 
I can’t slay by your side My way, my way : from darkness to light 
Darkness to light!

We can’t trust you boy Mel tried and Nina cried You’re pleased when you destroy Your life is a game of chess You take queens and uncrown them But me, I’m a sorceress You want to control pain, pleasure and desire If not, will you stand the strain? Poor guy, you’re so lonely, prisoner of your own brain I’ll hurt you until you feel It’s my policy, I never undress my mind And I hide in the daily-grind It’s my policy, I never undress my mind And I hide in the daily-grind

To choose is to lose innocence Every turning she takes has a consequence She’s weaving her joy and her pain She made her world anything but profane

 She’s standing alone in the storm Why did she moved and changed her form? There’s solitude beyond the norm There is knowledge in the dead zone Let him decide...
Let him decide Burn the witch! Burn the witch! 
Trial by ordeal… Trial by ordeal… No regret no taste for the lies She needn’t lullabies and alibis It’s wrong she never tried to mesmerize It’s true she can see through the snakes eyes Let him decide...
Let him decide Burn the witch! Burn the witch! 
Trial by ordeal… Trial by ordeal…

Placenta 04:28
if I if I wear a veil mind’s eyes see him in details We are more than real twins He has my fingerprints 
He came before I’m born He’ll stay when I’m gone I know neither his plan nor where it all began He seems to be the successful son
! He takes everything under the sun! He hid and watched when I was struggling against the umbilical snake It’s dusk, my boy, or maybe it’s dawn What’s the difference, boy? Focus on the light He was the threat from inside
 I was scared of outside 
I feel mortified What’s the difference boy? You’re still living in a placenta His leftovers will never be my treasures Ohh please leave me now

J’ai de grands yeux froids, Deux grands yeux pales J’ignore mes sœurs qui râlent, qui se meurent lentement dans leurs pétales Ma face est en plâtre Ma face sans code Je fuis la peur, je fraude Je fous mon cœur lâchement aux antipodes J’ai la bouche qui mord, la bouche qui tord les mots et leurs accords La saveur du sens me réconforte Mon corps est en terre, mon corps bien seul Les rêves sont mon linceul Ils sont mon monde Qu’ils mentent autant qu’ils veulent I cleared out my chest What could you wrest from a specter? Drips of his soul maybe? Fear, guilt and shame are stuck in freeze frame I’m light for my last trip, baby

Hollows 03:55
I am the snail shell
 Infinity dwells in the loved child Alma Matter, Alma 
Perfect, bright and dark She’s the lighter and the spark Oh I always forget what my name is 
Mama sait, Mama sait I versify and ask spiders to whisper it in my ears The spiral is moving, it’s still soothing If I’m lost it has no meaning Mother says You’re not there
 You’re everywhere You’re your own way Hollows are sacred wells They shelter the essence of each spell My will glows in hollows, glows in hollows Oh I always forget what my age is
 Mama sait, Mama sait I stratify my mask and blur the layers with blood and tears
 Mama est le cycle sans fin The spiral is moving, it’s still soothing If I’m old it has no meaning 

Mother says: There’s no time No finish line You are Always
