Don't trust him   When he turns his back   He looks at you   Don't trust him   When his eyes are closed:   He still looks at you      I fled, I fled   Devouring the space   But the shapeless bulk   Was chasing me -enraged-   Breathing my footsteps   Unsated with killing me   Slowly   Nailing my incandescent thoughts   Along the border   Of insanity   In a place where   A procession of fleshly numbers   Slides incessantly   Into the ironic waters   Of the cosmos   Seeking to remember   The sense   Of the impossible word:   Escape      "Who are you looking for?   What are you looking at?"   A light? "a star"   A boat? "an insect"   A plane? "a flying fish"      "I'm looking at somebody   Who belongs to my world"   "This is your world   I am your only world"      I can't remember   When the fog   - unravelling   The real and inexplicable   Contradictions   That crowd together   The human brain lobes -   Imprisoned me   In the spider's web   Of the one who touches   The minds of the mad   Curbing and churning   The confetti of their thoughts      "Without corpses   There's no war   And without war   There's no victory   My dear!"      I will not be pushed   Filed, stamped   Inedxed   Briefed, debriefed   Or numbered!      - Nightmare -      Welcome, my freind!   Here whole generations   Of ghosts   Have raised   Their eyes and wings   Each morning   To unbounded space   With the innocent joy   Of crysalids   Greeting   Their final metamorphosis   And in the evening   They're dead and dropping   Like lifeless flowers   Swayed by the plaintive   Whistling of the wind   You must learn, we are all pawns   On this hopeless chessboard;   Your move!      "Maybe you don't know my face   But well you know my name   - My name is death"   Dressed in white, smiling   The girl who was death   And loved me so much   Desiring to bring me back to her   The only way out   To no purpose      "Why are they trying   To kill me?"   "Because they don't know   You are already   Dead!"      Face to face   Shut up   In the cage of time   The man and I   Joined by fate   In the degree absolute   The challange   Without return match   Where the price to one is:   Living   And pain to the other is:   Not dying!      The mask! The mask!   I must take off   His mask!   Now! Now!      But just as victory   Seems finally   To favour me   Aand the unknown   Persecutor appears   - Frame after frame -   In a slow instantaneous   Electric shock   Here is my contorted face   To reveal, sneering   The final dramatic   Deceit   When victim and hangman   Exchange roles   The triumphant freedom   Of a thousand dreams   Evaporates   In the reality   Of a new incubus   - Once again -   Made of   Smiles, masks, lifeless confetti   Be seeing you!   Wandering through the catacombs of life   Desperately I plunge into the whirl   Wandering through the catacombs of life   Slowly I fall into the whirl of   - Hell -
