I'm called Joachim de Tristero Perhaps a madman, perhaps a honest hero I fashionned a livery of black symbolizing The night, the night, the exile And I styled myself El Descheredado, The Dishenerited This secund America, reflecting poverty Undergroud world, intellectual dead-end I'll give a sacred dimension to your existence Latent content of loneliness can't compete in its base Has your walk into the sea something to do with it? The Whitechapel Edition is hardly to be trusted That version is corrupt, some kind of virus entered it True paranoia or real Tristero In the twilight hours, all is ringing like an hoax Get along with me Psychological disease Another tragedy And if someday you reckon me Time will lose its basic meaning Endless pursuit of happiness, & W.A.S.T.E. & D.E.A.T.H. Retinal persistence, shining the darkness Alone in your head, still under rapid eye movement Trying in vain to contain the madness of your brain I can't fill the whole since you got cold Pain, treshold, no one to hear your desperate calls Get along with me Psychological disease Another tragedy And if someday you reckon me Time will lose its basic meaning You will wake, muted late at night Intruder of, intruder of your own mind ____

D.E.A.T.H. 03:44
Another shoot pierced the silence Dunno who got the ticket, it's just nonsense In a while, I'll be better In a while, emerging the blur But for the moment, forget I've seen Death Yep 't will be alright, but for how long left? It's no use to lose my hold It's not time to, it's not time to fall But I'm falling The next warning, I know, will ease my body Lot died on the way, are they to blame? After all, they knew the game They laid down their hands Mc Vries seems to hold tight Stebbins is in tempered-steel I guess I don't yearn for Death Where comes that desire of living from? Acclamation of the crowd It's no use to, it's no use to call But I'm calling For help, can't you see we're all dying !!... Pearson, Parker, and Baker, Olson All dead, all dead !! Mc Vries retires Only stay Steb & I God-damned crowd acclaim Yet I lose my only last friend A walk along that tunnel But oddly I know it's not hell They're all here, waiting for me The long walk is nearly beginning ____

Queer Streak 03:42
Have a mental suffering You couldn't have stopped it Is it a phoebia, a recurrent tendancy ? Disease me, slightly I'm an easy prey for your spirit I loved the way you shoot me down My little sister I've never had My characters, my problems You're my good presage Maybe we could dive hands in hands Forlorn hope, breach in fault What I supposed was to be lost I loved the way you shoot me down My little sister I've never had My heart is still bleeding But it doesn't mean nothing I'm diving, I am blinding You haunted the most frustrated of my dreams My little sister, my Queer Streak I'm diving, I am blinding Have a mental suffering (four times) But here it comes, I'm just an orphan Dancing on a parade Unable to forget your smell Are you dead? Are you far? Are you just some other star Cold shivers, sharp my spine I loved the way you shoot me down My little sister I've never had My heart is still bleeding Did you ever see something I'm diving, I am blinding Idleness, only that word remains On your grave, the silence is rest I've never had My sister I've never had I have never had ____

Guinea Pig 03:56
My name is Charly Gordon I used to work at the bakery Donner All my life I've wanted to be clever I go to lessons for retarded persons It's very hard the be brainy I forget a lot when I learn things Dr. Strauss and Professor Nemur Say they're gonna use for an experiment To increase my intelligence quotient Soon I'll be able to defeat Algernon Wish it will work then I'll Clever as everybody is My mummy would be so proud of me I realize she actually didn't love me Help me please I have never asked my being a guinea pig Yesterday I left the hospital I don't know if I am another man Have to do the best that I can To store up millions of details My friends at the bakery seem to be afraid To notice their Charly isn't the same I developed a super brain Years turned into days I fidget, what an heroic deed Now I'm brought in medical meetings Expected my science to exhibit Recollections from the past Avoid me to sleep at night It goes too far, it reopens scars Lost in some part of my brain Lost somewhere, anywhere Last night I didn't remember where I lived I have the feeling that this already happened to me I know he's here, him the former Charly Lurking within me, waiting for my dying My name is Charly Gordon I'm still working at the bakery Donner I know what happens to me But there's nothing to do, to do with me And if you get the chance Put some flowers on Alergnon's grave

It's been long cold winters Thousands years or maybe just a secund Drifting thru the past After having spent so much time After having looked forward Changes are required Sometimes we met up & down Just as the darkness filled the whole Years of growth, millenium faults Atomic fallouts, chloroformed environment But we don't weigh much How credible are our words? Maybe you can see us as simple troublemakers Sometimes we met up & down Just as the darkness filled the whole Now it's crystal clear to we D'you think we're crazy Whatever may the distance be One of these years You'll join the struggle against them Cancel the prescritions Switch off the drip-feeding But you won't fob us off with bullshits Shrink, we're about to win Sometimes we met up & down Just as darkness filled the whole Now it's crystal clear to we D'you think we're crazy Whatever may the distance be One of these years You'll join the struggle against them

This pale reflection isn't mine Cynic deadlocked blind I know exactly where's my mind Livid flesh, recurrent nightmare I didn't act, I just sustained Control a smidgen of yourself Inside out, I'm so cold Let's turn to the next generation Outside in, you're so close to me I'll fight, without you Rain streaming on the pavement Blood running out the crying walls Tortured souls need shields of love 4,5,6, you're outside in And yet you're not so close to me 2,3,4, you're inside out I will fight without you Remember all the gore Outside in cold And now you're gone I'm going to count up to 10 Then you'll wake up & forget The man in black takes the road again Turn it upside down as wishes your soul But mind the Seventh Floor Turn it downside up, if you're able But I doubt There's no damage But watch the cage Do never contain your rage There's no damage But watch the cage Remember all the gore Outside in cold You're fucking with my head ____

W.A.S.T.E. 03:31
Retroactive conscious- Nestling close to senseless pain- Full network of neuralgic centers ente- Ring like a bell- Yache, elated with sleeplessness Saturation, exhaustion Weariness, it's a mess Emergence of parties It's an emergency 15% minds disconnected Failure to succ- Esperanza de los mayor dias I'm waiting, you're waiting, but they're lying Who the fuck was that girleen? Narcotics were another dealing, yestreen Anyway, I'm tired enough, to feel it Radio-active power-ty Party-ficiali- Till darkness ran thru your Vain's the day when we first met Crash, trash, trust To dust, the flesh shall return Failure to succ- Espérance de jours meilleurs I'm waiting, you're waiting, but they're lying Who the fuck was that girleen? Narcotics were another dealing, yestreen Anyway, I'm tired enough to feel it And I'm tired enough to feel it Let it flow, let it, flow in it Truly awaiting Tristero's Empire Let it flow, someday We'll feel better ____

Another life has gone To blank everything out How could I get this way Something is missing Something is disturbing Screeching cold blade, seering flesh again Watching out for Grim Reaper's Laugh Feel its presence along the corridor Shall it still follow me? Shall it allow me to breath? Something worse having Your view is not worth a lot to me Gotta face in silence But it just ain't right I stare, all vanished like a dance But it just ain't right Maybe you know I'm too fragile But I care 'bout the color of the night I guess I do too much But now it's pretty much different Endorphin makes its work It doesn't make sense when you're ready to burn Cars crashing on a tree But maybe you're a lot like me ____
