NEPHTYS LYRICS

1. The Retorics Of Near Death

2. ...Yet The Choirs Of Vendetta

Secret envy
Their statues
Lie
Shattered...

Like crystal chains that bind the vain in myriad egos lost

A roaring mechanism
An engine of sorts
Pounding without
Rest

Burning
Fed with chaos
And
Beauty

A fragrance of the dead
The flavour of decadence
Upon the gypsy's lips

Shivering in Paradise...

Their delusions to the furnace
Stripped of pride
Drenched in shame
Flesh and filth

Innocent Thespian, of what speakest thou?

A furnace burning
Fed with chaos
And beauty

Rustling leaves upon concrete
Dancing like mice to the flute
In grand bewitchment

Yet the choirs of vendetta shapeless, in shrouds
Praising the Unicorn and the Trinity
As they stumble and fall, maintain postures of Gala
Shading the ridicule of a glass arena

And a stringed Minotaur

A roaring mechanism
An engine of sorts
Pounding without
Rest

Burning
Fed with chaos
And
Beauty

3. Plastic Transcendence

Thorns that pierce
Contemplative stone
In neon light
Blood and mud

Heroes and fools
Drenched in regret
And shame

It's all dust
And random chance

Dust and chance!

The locks that have no key
Ambivalent and free
Absent, distant
Plastic transcendence

Stripping your bones
Of dying flesh
Faces so pale
Claws so black

It's all dust
And random chance

Fathered by stars
Which shine no more

Dust and chance!

The locks that have no key
Ambivalent and free
Absent, distant
Plastic transcendence

4. Comedy Of Gods

Void of dementia
Clarity, illusion
Illusion

Smiling faces
Murderous gazes
The stylish savoir-faire
Of a pompous assassin

In minds that rot away, in pacing decay

Sin, delightful and warm, wine of the damned soul
Wandering in stupor

Smiling faces
Murderous gazes
The stylish savoir-faire
Of a pompous assassin

In minds that rot away, in pacing decay

Walls, cold and unforgiving, drink my blood
Mockingly, mockingly

Solitude's arms stretch far indeed
In strangling embrace

Like petals of nothingness...

The tragedy of the lovesick
In passionate distance
A comedy of gods
Blinded by arrogance

Singing of fire and flesh

They take us in their arms

The tragedy of the lovesick
In passionate distance

Singing of fire and flesh

They take us in their arms

A comedy of gods
Blinded by arrogance

5. Bridges Too Frail

As giants
In a kaleidoscope
Without grace
And without sense
Trampling the rainbow
With angry feet

Burning like beacons
Deep in the dark
Screaming and shouting
At deities gone deaf

Clinging to life
As if their own

Ignorance and virtue
Are bridges too frail

They share an abyss
In silent passion
On opposite sides
Standing alone

Blindingly brilliant
Superhero rage

Vortex suns
Colliding in rapture

Within
Parallel to naught
Unbridled brute force

Blindingly brilliant
Superhero rage

Burning like beacons
Deep in the dark
Screaming and shouting
At deities gone deaf
