Ride the vortex winds with the beast inside
       cast down all memories from a past and future world
       the cynic icons and the cryptic writings
       as a picturesque creation in force and spirit
       against their reason and will, it is time
       give darkness it‘s passion plea
       the venomous tongue 
       the inevitable poison
       paralyze the angels
       freeze the forgiven
       baptize in fire
       unleash the devil at heart
       unleash the maelstrom mephisto
       (chorus:)
       so sinner, mourn well
       make all the swans suffer in hell
       the maelstrom of the mephisto left the trace
       to revel and feast in undelivered grace
       pledged to judgmental arrogance in 
       drawn principles of ignorant falsehood
       to comprehend that the sin of life is life itself
       a tyranny in torment, an inner-sanctum stealing sleep
       in the dimness surrounding the towers of the castle
       where the ravens spread their wings out wide
       dwell in depths of the darker self at any shore of infinity
       and watch the relentless paint the soil black
       what is being formed echoes throughout eternity
       as the painter chooses color no more
       hold your shadows close when the comedy is over
       as the days of mourning seem to be the days of joy
       fragments fell from the sky in order to penetrate the eyes
       a convict wallowing in a lifetime of lies…lies
