the glory of the empire

the glory of the empire(A.Melleby, 06.30.14)

use your illusion
it doesn´t get any worse than this
getting out of this stinking hole
demands some serious crawling
neck up in the stinking mud
no foundation to build anything on
for sure

the glory of the empire
are we still fighting?
and what for?
the glory of the empire
is what´s at stake
the glory of the empire

hide out
and I´ll find you
lie to me
and I´ll catch you
mess around
and I´ll clean you outta every room
you ever sat your feet in

bitch, moan and complain
do you really think I ever wanna see you again?
your lies have names and I´ve met them all
this aint´ no wonderwall
this ain´t no growin` tall
you´re still a midget overall

the glory of the empire
are we still fighting?
and what for?
the glory of the empire
is what´s at stake
the glory of the empire

the glory of the empire
are we still fighting?
and what for?
the glory of the empire
is what´s at stake
the glory of the empire


I wanna strike back

eden

eden(A.Melleby, 06.28.14)

eden
is it really real
or just an illusion
is there anything behind the four letters
of eden

charisma
or just a dark shadow coming through
every time you need something
you can´t get on your own
charisma

you don´t depend on any god
you depend on me
so don´t go calling on the sky
leave the sky alone
you depend on me

I¨m coming closer
you are near
I can feel it
but I am still far away
from where I want to be

eden
is it really real
or just an illusion
is there anything behind the four letters
of eden

you don´t depend on any god
you depend on me
so don´t go calling on the sky
leave the sky alone
you depend on me

eden
is it really real
or just an illusion
is there anything behind the four letters
of eden

charisma alone
won´t get you to eden
eden is charisma


even without you

get the hell outta dodge

get the hell outta dodge(A.Melleby, 06.26.2014)
looking at the palm of my hand
my lifeline is as long as my hands surface
I wonder if it continues
on the other side
just like on the surface
of the planet I live on
how long
can this go on

all of a sudden a coldspell 
surfaceing on your feets thin skin
making it hard to walk
on the holy ground
that many moons ago
gave you life

I´d rather not know
how all this came about
I´m sure, though
you hold the key
and you know which way to turn it

stockpiled
and what for
I never knew why
and I guess
I will never ever know
I guess
that´s what spells are for
unless you break them

I´d rather not know
how all this came about
I´m sure, though
you hold the key
and you know which way to turn it

I´d rather not know
how all this came about
I´d rather not know

whatever you do
promise me just one thing
just get the hell outta dodge
I´m happy to repeat myself
whatever you do
promise me just one thing

just get the hell outta dodge

a river runs through me

a river runs through me(A.Melleby, 06.23.14)

words
from a language
I do not understand
keep on playing
with my head
over and over
and ever again

a river runs through me
flesh and blood
flowing freely
vanes in pain
a riptide tearing holes
in my soul

gotta get there fast
to escape the past
and exchange the cast
to make it last

I saw
a deathhawk keeping an eye
on a pack of wolves
for better or worse
from one evil gaze to another
like the blind man said
seeing isn´t always believing
enough said

a river runs through me
flesh and blood
flowing freely
vanes in pain
a riptide tearing holes
in my soul


a river runs through me

I´m so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station

I´m so hungry I could eat a sandwich from a gas station(A.Melleby, 06.16.14)

I´m in a car driving far
a car that`s going fast
along a highway to most unknow
fresh roadkill on the roadside
for those who hunger and in need
I pass them all by and pick up speed
I´m on a mission and won´t slow down
there´s no looking back
gotta stick with the plan and stay on track

my rear view mirror´s all jammed
images I do not wanna see again
the pedal to the metal and burning rubber
before I knew the word of it
you were all outta sight
a horizon on fire burning my back
but cooling as a distance is created
tarmac on fire
speed

the fueltank´s all empty
and it has been for miles
but the car keeps on going
running on air and the rawest kind of passion
and is nowhere near
of giving in
man and beast
at it´s best

we got there together
and I ran into the arms of my maker
while my Mustang blew up in an inferno

I guess she gave me a one-way-ticket
