HELENA CRISTINA

"Taking The Queen"

Who stole your heartbeat in the night? The acolytes fearful in the flickering light They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south Another winter's tale is done Your immortal lover he's gone The chalice stolen from her hand Eternal life at her command Now all that she rules must sleep... The howling shriek of death in your eyes The hawklord and the beast enter your room The gold will turn to rust Your empire follows you into your tomb The wraiths of night caress And whisper softly now, "We are the dead" They bear your life away They tear your heart in two They've taken the queen To some better place, so they think As the flame burns low Now the flame burns higher Purifies the love that died And scared rats closed in a life Back to the earth, sealing the tomb Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood Who summons us now from our graves? "We are the dead" The shriek of death in your eyes The hawklord and the beast enter your room The wraiths of night caress And whisper softly now, "We are the dead" They bear your life away They've torn your heart in two They've taken the queen

RING THE BELLS

"Guardians"

We're living in our units And one thing we can do is Work for a life without a fate We don't pay any taxes But the state is the axis Of our minds without love without hate We have a higher order No one needs to be a hoarder Our society is such a glorious thing In our centers, we can dream of Anything you never think of You can't say we are puppets on a string Our minds are kept so clean Checked up on a screen They're holy men, they're saints Without them, we might all fail We don't know war and crime Things of ancient times We just see it if we put on video The blue pass is for my life And the red one's for my wife It's the only thing we really need to show There are still some without rules But I tell you, they're all fools The Guardians will find them as we've seen We got banks where we freeze them They get new brains screwed in then And act contrarily to what they have been With new minds made so clean Checked up on a screen They will be the saints Without them, we might all fail Guardians of our lives Protect security They turn the key and they step in Controlling you and me Guardians of our lives Take care eternally Guardians of our lives Protect security They turn the key and they step in Controlling you and me Guardians of our lives Protect security

They turn the key and they step in Controlling you and me Guardians of our lives Take care eternally Puppets on a string Puppets on a string Puppets on a string Puppets on a string
