I (Kingdom) 08:11
KINGDOM The king is kind He’s on your mind The sun above the dust The king is kind He’s on your mind In the empire of fear The king is kind He’s on your mind In the temple of doom And who is the Ruler Who is the lover in your eye? KINGDOM ABOVE (I’ll wait here in my fortress) KINGDOM OF LOVE (I bow to you your highness) KINGDOM ABOVE (I raise my sword to the lost lord) KINGDOM OF LOVE The king is kind The queen divine The eye before the storm She moves through you She moves through me We are not in the castle This is the empire of dust Meet the mother, your creator Build a Temple of lust KINGDOM ABOVE (I’ll wait here in my fortress) KINGDOM OF LOVE (I bow to you your highness) KINGDOM ABOVE (I raise my sword to the lost lord) KINGDOM OF LOVE KINGDOM ABOVE (I’ll wait here in my fortress) KINGDOM OF LOVE (I bow to you your highness) KINGDOM ABOVE (I raise my sword to the lost lord) KINGDOM OF LOVE This is the kingdom Keep the gates open Open, open You know I was there it was beautiful a beautiful picture of life a sunset she was in her entirety every being and every nothing and she was devoured by a feeling something within her something endless eternal something of sorrow something of brokenness like her in her long dress twirling off the edge of the world she looked up at the stars and she could feel it was me it was she it was me it was she beyond beyond beyond her body and she wished to be poet and she wished to be a lover she wished to melt into an essence but she opened her eyes and she was a structure she was a prison she was a building her body someone told heris a temple a holiness of flesh but all she felt was bricks walls heavier heavier closed locked (beyond beyond beyond) (no more stars no more sky)walls bricks heavier heavier closed locked (beyond beyond beyond) aboveall things this exquisite destruction is the closest I’ve ever been beyond beyond beyond / to knowing God/Myself.

II (Temple) 06:31
TEMPLE My lover is waiting My girl’s anticipating On the castle in the sky My lover is waiting My girl’s anticipating The kingdom in her mind You are a storm (she’s my creator) You are my home (within the water) You are alone (will you be my saviour, forever?) My lover’s creating She is accelerating From the structures in her sky My lover’s pulsating My girl’s evacuating Through the walls within her mind You are a storm (she’s my creator) You are my home (and my destructor) You are alone (will you be my saviour, forever?) This is not your sign Coz she is not your queen Won’t you take me now? Do you wanna story tell? You are alone You are a storm The temple The temple The temple - is calling you To disassemble - you’re under the spell I’m tired but I could not fix A dream inside my head of bricks Embrace the exhilaration Of what has been awoken When I shatter My world releases Will I ever find the pieces? And do they want to be found… Feet in the ground, eyes to the sky I’m a palace, a picture, a totem, a traitor I once was a mother, now I’m a monster Unleashed unshakable Lord of Creation Chaotic catastrophic Mother of destruction The crush the crash the collapse Colliding dividing me in pieces It falls I hear the cries, the calls I held you in these same arms That held enough hatred to command the storms As every kingdom in me, is obliterated so beautifully… You are a storm You are my home You are alone I am a destructor Moving through your structure If my body is a temple I’m gonna watch it crumble

When you say you love me Aren’t you afraid? Keep it close To me who suffers the most Above this love And I feel it now When the night exhales her ethereal scent Through vanishing words of a midnight lament The wolf king howls to an enamoured sky The tremor of my soul released in his outcry And when in the air, in the element I search for you like a dark secret A rose in the darkness her eyes to the ground Angelic, romantic her look somehow She is dreaming of roaring thunder Of her sweet and deadly lover When you say you love me Aren’t you afraid? Keep it close To me who suffers the most Above this love And I feel it now When the night has thrown her gown Upon us all, upon the ground In threads of jewels made for a Goddess We unravel the noise of the Great Silence The celestial seamstress has some mad plan And knows our journey will be grand My beloved’s skin, his tender breath I peacefully sleep with the wolves of death And when in the earth, with the elegant I search for you you’re my dark secret A rose in the darkness her eyes to the ground Angelic, romantic her look somehow She is dreaming of roaring thunder Of her sweet and deadly lover Feel it in your beauty In your lust consume me Feel it in my pores Feel that I am yours Feel it in your skin In your lust, your perfection Feel it in your spine Feel that you are mine

Crooked mind with the auburn eyes A quiver in my thighs And they say beware so I sing this prayer And worship my darker pleasures And it weaves a spell complex Blood’s boiling, teeth craving hot flesh Give in surrender, all I crave Is your weakness and I’m a slave - For the light and the fire Light and the fire Your light and your fire Give me your light and your fire Light and your fire Dance in the light and the fire Ha ha higher Ha higher Deep dreams as I awoke in sleep With visions of a flame Bring your matches your love bites and scratches Emblems to the dirty deity My body it burns and blazes, shivers and yearns For the touch of entangled time (when you’re all mine) I’m the witch of sex, the erotic hex That consumes you Inside the light and the fire The light and the fire Your light and your fire Give me you darkness your desire Your darkness your desire Follow your darkness your desire Ha ha higher You are now not with God As he touches my heavenly body Above the earth, and below Angel of tricks and mischief Descend into my reach and take me Away from this World you’ve built alone Crooked mind with the darkened eyes A breath of forgotten sighs And they say he’s gone but he still lingers on Within prayers of love and lover’s wrongs Fall once more into the abyss Enfolding you like divine oblivion’s kiss Meet me surrender, melting under Become one and the same Bend your brain inside the light and the fire The light and the fire Your light and your fire Give me you darkness your desire Your darkness your desire Dance in your darkness your desire

Immortal 06:37
When you showed me through your castle I became your shadow Lure me with your pretty eyes I’ll meet you in the darkness And you loved me more than I could ever feel But you loved me more when I was invisible Harness your wings, death by she sings When we are immortal meet me there Coz you can’t see Now feel my teeth In love, in blood, in death I am not, I am not above I am not beyond you now I live inside this dream called Life but feel my heart dripping cold Oh lover sink under I crave in and wane in and wait within luminescent skin Sweet death, fluttering eyelid of time won’t you wrap your wings of love in mine? And there I know I’ll meet you in the darkness When you showed me through your castle I became your shadow Lure me with your pretty eyes I’ll meet you in the darkness And you loved me more than I could ever feel But you loved me more when I was invisible Harness your wings, death by she sings When we are immortal I will be free Harness your wings, death by she sings When we are immortal I will be King And you’ll be Queen.
