Suicide King & Chaos Queen Lyrics - Rough Silk

[Music : Wunderlich, Doernberg / Lyrics : Doernberg] 

The Suicide King and the Chaos Queen 

met three days after Halloween 

At the downtown grill where the "once-has-been's" 

try to drink their shame away. 

Suicide smiled and took a shotgun in his mouth. 

Chaos freaked out and gave him applause. 

"With this toy, kid, you won't even shoot a mouse !", 

was all the bartender had to say. 

So they took a limo to the border of time 

where to be a bit different ain't no crime 

and in the midnight hour they met the ghost of James Dean. 

He said : "I can see your future in my TV screen !" 

( Suicide King and Chaos Queen ) 

In this world made of pain 

some prefer the insane 

or a reason to live 

and a promise to give 

to the lost and the banned 

their souls to defend 

and their fantasy's green 

like Suicide King and Chaos Queen. 

They ride on the wind now and make love on the sea 

`cause they ain't even close to what they used to be. 

The ghosts of the dead gave `em the magic key 

to a world beyond the light. 

They are guardians of life now - protectors of grace - 

Some aliens from outer space. They watch the sins of the human race. 

It's an everlasting fight ! 

Overkill game - reality 

- sicker than your insanity ! 

The money - the power - the torture - the lie 

Alone in a crowd : Dare to cry ! 

In this world made of pain....................
