The Girl Who Was… Death Lyrics – Devil Doll

The Girl Who Was… Death Lyrics by Devil Doll

Don’t trust him
When he turns his back
He looks at you
Don’t trust him

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
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
Living
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 –
