Flame Of Deceit


Music: Neumann / Brusius
Lyrics: Neumann
I've sworn to the night

(Verse 1)
Light my heart flame of all needs
Show me a reason to serve and to keep
Bring forth a topic to satisfy my lust
Choke down my life's task sink down into dust

(Verse 2)
My bleakened eyes have sworn to the night
Too dimmed to see and not ready to fight
My bleeding hope that uncertainty I feel
This retching slope that forced me to kneel

(Bridge)
So many ways are opened to me
But I turned wrong not capable to see
That through the skies a thunder is breaking
My mind is drowned my heart is forsaken

(Chorus)
Beacon fires remain in the past
No lights to shine they're not built to last
Inside I feel that implacable need
I call it now flame of deceit


(Verse 3)
I thought that I could handle my creed
And hours passed in an insatiable beat
Running by time points rampant at me
In the beginning this was not to foresee

(Bridge)
So many ways are opened to me
But I turned wrong not capable to see
That through the skies a thunder is breaking
My mind is drowned my heart is forsaken

(Chorus)
Beacon fires remain in the past
No lights to shine they're not built to last
Inside I feel that implacable need
I call it now flame of deceit


(Bridge)
So many ways are opened to me
But I turned wrong not capable to see
That through the skies a thunder is breaking
My mind is drowned my heart is forsaken

(Chorus)
Beacon fires remain in the past
No lights to shine they're not built to last
Inside I feel that implacable need
I call it now flame of deceit
Flame of deceit
