Jacques GRAF

In death, you face life with a child and a wife who sleep-walks through your dreams into walls.You're a soldier of mercy, you're

Cold and you curse,"He who cannot be trusted must fall."Loneliness,tenderness,highsociety,notoriety.You fight for the throne

And you travel alone unknown as you slowly sink, there's no time to think.In the Federal City you been blown and shown pity

In secret, for pieces of change.The empress attracts you but oppression distracts you, it makes you feel violent and strange.

Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy. Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of blissIn the valley of the missing link. And you

Have no time to think. Judges will haunt you, the country priestess will want you, her worst is better than best. I've seen all

These decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes,and I feel so depressed. China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality. Mercury

Rules you and destiny fools you like the plague, with a dangerous wink, and there's no time to think. Your conscience betrayed

You when some tyrant waylaid you where the lion lies down with the lamb. I'd have paid off the traitor and killed him much later

But that's just the way that I am. Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality. But the magician is quicker and his game is much

Thicker than blood and blacker than ink and there's no time to think. Anger and jealousy's all that he sells us, He's content

When you're under his thumb. Madmen oppose him, but your kindness throws him to survive it you play deaf and dumb.

Liberty, humility, simplicity. You glance through the mirror and there's eyes staring clear at the back of your head as you drink

But there's no time to think.You've murdered your vanity, buried your sanity for pleasure you must now resist.Lovers obey you

You but they cannot sway you they're not even sure you exist.Socialism,hypnotism,patriotism,materialism.Fool making law for

The breaking of jaws and the sound of the keys as they clink,but there's no time to think.The bridge that you travel on goes to

The Babylon girl with the rose in her hair.Starlight in the East you're finally released you're stranded but with nothing to share.

Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity.You turn around for one real last glimpse of Camille 'Neath the moon shinin' bloody and pink

And there's no time to think.Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you but no, you will not be deceived. Stripped

Of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt, you can give but you cannot receive. No time to choose when the truth

Must die,no time to lose or say goodbye,no time to prepare for the victim that's there, no time to suffer or

Blink And no time to think. In death, you face life with a child and a wife who sleep-walks through your dreams into walls

You're a soldier of mercy, you're cold and you curse,"He who cannot be trusted must fall." Loneliness, tenderness, high

Society, notoriety.You fight for the throne and you travel alone unknown as you slowly sink and there's no time to think.In the

Federal City you been blown and shown pity,in secret, for pieces of change.The empress attracts you but oppression distracts

You and it makes you feel violent and strange. Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy.Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night

Of bliss,in the valley of the missing link. And you have no time to think. Judges will haunt you, the country priestess

Will want you,her worst is better than best.I've seen all these decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes and I feel so

Depressed. China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality.Mercury rules you and destiny fools you,like the plague, with a

Dangerous wink, and there's no time to think.
