Kiss the creatures in the rain again…
Shapes of angels dancing in my head
Deep in the night we promised not to speak
Sounds that shimmer darkly in my dreams
Bit by bit losing control…
The madness is taking its toll
You can't find your way alone
Lost in the maze and I don’t think that we will escape
Tigers in the garden wearing masks
Painting pale reflections of the past
Echoes of her laughter fade away
Another riddle for a stranger day
Another dark night of the soul
When did the night turn so cold?
Alone in the silence like stone
Lost in the maze and I don’t think that we will escape...
Now
Kissing creatures in the rain again…
Shapes of angels dancing in my head
Deep in the night we try forget the past
Dreams of our salvation never last
Bit by bit we lost control…
The madness has taken its toll...
We never found our way back home
Lost in the maze and I don’t think that we can escape

Spinning round in the night
Hoping for something...
So alone in the dark
Waiting for you...
All hope fades away
As the darkness surrounds me...
So lost in the night
All my fears have come true
A shimmering flash across dark waters
Holding on to my hope and a memory of you
As I fall through the depths, grasping so blindly
All alone in the dark searching for you.
I long for your arms, to hold me so tightly
Your screams in the night break me in two
holding on in vain...desperately hoping
That you will return and take me with you
I wish I could have found the right words
Some way to break the spell on you
You were so trapped in all the make-believe…
All I wanted was to be with you.
Spinning round in the dark
Hoping for something...
Hope lost to the night
All my fears have come true
It all fades away
In the darkness surrounding...
So alone in the night...
Waiting for you

Two As One

We belong together she said
Joined together forever she said
Two as one... like Siamese twins.
Adrift in your eyes, I am falling
My colors fading… turning so grey
I look around me it’s all… gone dark again
Standing so still in the half light
Bodies bathed in the moonlight
I lose myself as I go… under again
Mad as hatters we dance in the graveyard
She smiled that smile, turned away
Like the cheshire cat, she... disappears

Kiss me with your last breath as I go under…
Under the water, I disappear.
Will you cry for me when it’s over?
Some kind of reminder that I was here.
Touch me for the last time as I go under…
Grasping hands as I push you clear.
Lost in the shadows, seeking so blindly
Hoping for something to take away fear
Kiss me with your last breath as I go under…
Under the water, I disappear.
Will you cry for me when it’s over?
Some kind of reminder that I was here.

Alone in the dollhouse
It all ends the same…
My face in the mirror...
Distorted and strange
The stone and the silence
As it all falls away…
In the deafening quiet
I go under again.
This time…
Can’t push back the tides
Of rage…
It all ends the same
Under darkening skies...
Going out of my mind.
Through the haze…
It all ends the same
Go your own way
Leave me alone
The flames have all faded
As the darkness takes hold
Your eyes steal the moonlight
From out of the sky
My thoughts turn to poison
In madness I cry
This time…
Can’t push back the tides
Of rage…
It all ends the same
Under darkening skies...
Going out of my mind.
Through the haze…
It all ends the same

It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special! It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
