The Promise of My Shadow
As long as my shadow follows
If you try take me to the gallows
I’ll break your back and arms and legs
Your body whole, until there’s just a chest
Which I will flame and burn to death
Then with no sorrow or regret
I’ll fly away, my shadow with me
To defeat the nearest enemy
With swords, with words, with all I have
If one day they’ll take me to the grave
My shadow silent will remain
Still standing on the restless land
Looking at all that’s here around
Wearing my swords
Remembering my words
To pay each one of them
A long kiss, no harm, ha, ha, a swear
Followed by the cold touch of a long blade
The face, the body – white and pale
There goes another one, a whisper
“I’ll stand on Earth, my loving master
And when they’re all dead, we’ll meet again
Where there’s only light and no more pain”
The Kiss of a Ghoul
There’s nothing but a hole in my soul
Since I met the horrible ghoul
That sucked the life of everyone
Like a disease he almost sucked mine
And now I live among the undead
Always praying for my miserable end
If running into the void would kill me
I’d make the suicide so nice and pretty
But when you’ve been kissed by a ghoul
The cold pretense of being whole
Is just a warm lie like the bullet of a gun
Which won’t kill you or anyone
An army of death, an army of trouble
That’s what we are – Oh, what a rumble!
A never-ending nightmare it seems
When we take out your blood and all the seeds
Of truth, of love, leaving just unbelievable pain
If you believe you escaped, we’ll come again
When the terrible hunger starts to kick in
We’ll eat any creature, dead or livin’
You better not try to resist as I did
There’s no place to hide, no place to get rid
Of the monsters, the cannibals – I know
You’d love to live, you’d love to… Oh!
I grab him by his sweet little neck
And whisper what the ghoul said:
„You’re too beautiful to just die
Come and live by my side
We’ll murder, we’ll drink the red wine
From the body of a woman or child”
When a kiss I lay on his lips
He starts to tremble and then he says:
„Kill me now, I don’t want your nothingness
Let me go to my dear in the heavens”
With vivid eyes, he looks at me
He’s just my prey, that’s all he’ll be
And now two souls with holes within
Are going with the others, marching in
Another town where we will prevail
Sooner rather than later – all we’ll be dead
An army of ghouls standing victorious
The void will never eat the outrageous
