Dance of Narcissism Lyrics by LM van den Berg/Scarlet Stories Blurry figures wade through colours of a thousand rubies The odds even lost beforehand Warm blood trickling down his skin Black veils waving at the morbid dance of narcissism Silver brilliance of the blade Inviting Death to do his part But his suffering is prolonged As his martyrdom is the virtue of their acquisition Waiting until the final stroke is performed to rest, and let the calm of death take over and put him out of his misery Justified torment for culture’s sake Cowardly voyeurs, presumptuous lowlife Flower petals falling from the sky Covering up his final deathbed

The Tell-Tale Heart After ‘The Tell-Tale heart’ by E.A. Poe, 1843 Lyrics by LM van den Berg/Scarlet Stories While the old man slumbers, A shimmer in the dark is cast upon the bed In a sickening desire, infatuated longing To witness the vulture’s eye in the light’s shed Oh, but never the eye is opened Biding his time, night after night Watching sweet ignorance, vanity rising Feelings of triumph and might Conceited chuckles disturb the silence The innocent man awakes from repose In mortal terror he shivers An unseen shadow of death lingering close “Who’s there?”, the old man cries But no answer returns Then, a dim ray of light pierces through the darkness Falling right upon the damned eye, for which the madman so yearns Oh, the beating of his heart increases Rising and rising, beats in the night He who’s been waiting Can’t take it no longer Feelings of terror and fright One shriek in the night, And it’s all over... Stone dead body, Breathing nevermore Cutting up the corpse in pieces Placing them carefully under the floor Man of justice, alarmed by the shriek Are brought to the chamber of the deed But do not find what they seek Then the madman starts to hear A sound like the old man’s heartbeat Foaming and raging, he screams: Villains, I admit the deed!

Nostalgia in a closed mind Lyrics by LM van den Berg/Scarlet Stories Empty eyes stare into nothing Wrinkled hands cold and lifeless Locked up inside, but cannot explain The world he used to know A ghost of long ago Reflections envisioned in his mind But no words to describe The world he used to know Visions of a forgotten past Appear so real to him So unreal to him And no one seems to remember And no one seems to recall The ticking clock only increasing the distance from the life he used to live and no one seems to remember The ticking clock only increasing the distance from the life he used to live and no one seems to recall Only nostalgia in a closed mind

Resurrection Part three Lyrics by LM van den Berg/Scarlet Stories Bright daylight shines over the wounds of the earth Showing scars of man’s destruction From the bowels of the ground Reborn hope emerges One no longer stands alone Revenge is sweet Genesis of brethren created to fight for life’s existence Mankind’s stigma overpowered and forever destroyed Oh revenge is sweet The setting sun blesses the resurrection of wonderland In full glory it stands, surrounded by its progeny, And all is peaceful...
