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

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
