COIL The ape of naples (2005)
1. Fire of the mind ! Does death come alone or with eager reinforcements? Does death come alone or with eager reinforcements? Death is centrifugal Solar and logical Decadent and symmetrical Angels are mathematical Angels are bestial Man is the animal Man is the animal The blacker the sun The darker the dawn Flashes from the axis Flashes from the axis On the hummingway to the stars Holy holy, holy holy, holy oh holy Holy holy, holy holy, holy Holy holy, holy holy, holy Man is the animal The blacker the suns The darker the dawn
2. The last amethyst deceiver
Pay your respects to the vultures For they are your future Our fathers and mothers have Our fathers and mothers have They have failed to release us They have failed to release us They have failed to release us Into the welcoming arms Of the amethyst deceivers So pay your respects So pay your respects Pay your respects to the vultures And to the crows And to the carrion crows And to the ravens Those graven ravens And to the carrion crows And to the rooks And to the rook And to the vultures And to the vultures And to the vultures Pay your respects to the vultures For they are our future For they are your future Our fathers and mothers have Our fathers and mothers have Our fathers and mothers have They have failed to release us Into the welcoming arms Into the welcoming arms Into the welcoming arms Of the amethyst Of the amethyst The little mushrooms The little mushrooms Welcoming arms Of the amethyst Of the amethyst deceivers
3. Tatooed man
There's a man lying down in a grave somewhere With the same tattoos as me And I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him There's a man lying down in a bed somewhere With a different set of sex aspects And I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I love... This is me here now Pining like a dog, whining like a dog in a thick harbour fog Waiting for a ship Making sick And when the ship comes In trouble His trouble will begin And the church bells chime the colour of wine And the angels devil fight to snatch back the lost time And there's a man lying down with a blade somewhere With the same tattoos as me And I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him There's a man lying down in a bed somewhere With a different set of sex aspects And I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I love... This is the dark age of love This is the dark age of love This is the dark age of love This is the dark age... And I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him, I love him There's a man laying down There's a man laying down There's a man laying down There's a man laying down somewhere... Somewhere

6. I dont get it
7. Heavens blade ! There's blood in the sun There's blood in the sun But I'm not afraid I cut myself with Heaven's blade Inside the wound I found my wings And walked away from this human skin I asked the earth to open up the sky To get inside and live with me for life I stand before the sun Rise up and see the shape of things to come It's all the same (repeated) Just cut yourself (repeated) With Heaven's blade Just cut yourself With Heaven's blade Just cut yourself With Heaven's blade (repeated) ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
! 8. Cold cell ! This is apparently an English rendering of a Russian convicts' prayer. O Lord, save my sinful soul From local punishment From the far-away zone From being frisked From the tall fence From the severe prosecutor From the Devil or from the devil owner From small rations From dirty water From steel handcuffs From hidden obligations A cold cell And short haircuts Save us from the death penalty Amen Amen Amen ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
9. Teenage Lightning ! Don't be alarmed It will not harm you It's only lightning Teenage lightning Don't be afraid Don't be expectant Don't be afraid Don't be reluctant Don't be afraid It's only lightning Teenage lightning It will not harm you Don't be afraid It will not harm you It's only lightning Teenage lightning It's real, it's unbelievably real It will not harm you It's only lightning It's only lightning Teenage lightning ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
10. Amber rain ! Amber rain is beautiful but wrong Caught between weak and being strong It seems these days the weaker ones survive What an awful way to find out you're alive A dull warm red water falls Flowing down to the sea Where deeper darker waters wait for me I don't expect I'll ever understand How life just trickled through my hand ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
