[Verse 1]
Shame marries the guilt
Introduces itself to the concept of total loneliness!
Sensations repressed
Make friends with suicidia!
And here the leeches begin
To suck away the lust for life!
[Pre-Chorus]
Escape takes the lead into a world unknown
Uncontrolled by all
Where borders are erased and potential infinite
[Chorus]
Chosen cells, glands and transmitters
Blast the body with joy!
Astral feet running up
To dimensions covered with gold!
Stairs of glowing ectoplasma
Sapphire, onyx, and buzzing vibrations!
A dead men's banquet
Food for the gods!
[Verse 2]
There's only one real world
Our Earth is but a shadow!
Created from a child's heart, a living jewel
From now on abode for a soul in its setting!
[Pre-Chorus]
Escape takes the lead into a world unknown
Uncontrolled by all
Where borders are erased and potential infinite
[Chorus]
Chosen cells, glands and transmitters
Blast the body with joy!
Astral feet running up
To dimensions covered with gold!
Stairs of glowing ectoplasma
Sapphire, onyx, and buzzing vibrations!
A dead men's banquet
Food for the gods!
[Bridge]
Cutting the bloodline
Re-tie the bleeding roots
To a heavenly slip of glass!
And let it drift in passive arrogance
In a one-word dialogue with the stars!
[Pre-Chorus]
Escape takes the lead into a world unknown
Uncontrolled by all
Where borders are erased and potential infinite
[Chorus]
Chosen cells, glands and transmitters
Blast the body with joy!
Astral feet running up
To dimensions covered with gold!
Stairs of glowing ectoplasma
Sapphire, onyx, and buzzing vibrations!
A dead men's banquet
Food for the gods!
