Die Before You Wake Songtext
von Ben Craven

Tales have been untold of darkest splendours joy could recite
Mysteries enfold purveyors of the wicked delights
Ages of wrath and of burning
Sharpest of seers discerning with second sight
Judging of all ascendent
Beaming of stars resplendent
Celestial harbour welcomes an endless night

Oh! A spell is in the air
All in art are fair
Learn to love despair
No! This is no mistake
All the souls we take
Die before they wake

Oh! Charms are overthrown
Vengeance I disown
Art in the unknown
No! There is no escape
Living′s a mistake
Die before you wake


Sacred union counters strength from our formidable foes
Chances from our mind the grace and majesty once bestowed
Oil of crimson for cleansing
Fountains of neverending in pools endowed
Fruit of our pains and toils
Art by art our spoils
Spurning blessed safety in a cursed shroud

Oh! A spell is in the air
All in art are fair
Learn to love despair
No! This is no mistake
All the souls we take
Die before they wake

Oh! Charms are overthrown
Vengeance I disown
Art in the unknown
No! There is no escape
Living's a mistake
Die before you wake

Monsters from the id remind us in our heart we entrust
Seething excitations rise above the virtue and just
Equal eternal destine
Vigil never resting in a warming glow
Enchantments for ever after
Ritualistic laughter
Stirs the sleeping spectre from long ago


Oh! A spell is in the air
All in art are fair
Learn to love despair
No! This is no mistake
All the souls we take
Die before they wake

Oh! Charms are overthrown
Vengeance I disown
Art in the unknown
No! There is no escape
Living′s a mistake
Die before you wake
