    "Dea Pecuniae. . ."

     
    7. Dea Pecuniae. . .
     
    [I. Mr. Money]
    [Miss Mediocraty:]
    "Hey there sweetie. Don't I know you? I swear I recognize your face...
    and those beautiful eyes... You know, they say the eyes are the
    doorway to ones soul... There's a smile. A little shy, aren't we? Hey,
    do you wanna get out of here
     
    [Mr. Money:]
    Hey Miss Mediocrity, gee, I'm sorry
    You've seen me on TV, I'm Mr. Money
    Now you want someone to hold you
    And call when you're in town
    Someone to calm you and confirm you
    Well, I'm here...
    ...to let you down
    'Cause outside these sexy cars
    And far from my trendy bars
    Behind these smiles...
    [Miss Mediocraty:]
    "...maybe go someplace..."
    [Mr. Money:]
    ...And sunscreen...
    [Miss Mediocraty:]
    "...more quiet, where we could... you know... talk!"
    [Mr. Money:]
    ...And "Live the Dream!"s...
    [Miss Mediocraty:]
    "...and get to know each other..."
    [Mr. Money:]
    I am cold!
    [Miss Mediocraty:]
    "...no?"
    [Mr. Money:]
    And mean!
     
    [Miss Mediocraty:]
    "How about a ride in that Bentley up front? It's yours isn't it? I'll
    be a good girl, I promise!
    ...or bad...
    ...whatever you like!"
     
    [Mr. Money:]
    Daily Finance - that's me in the Armani
    Got
    Three Mercedes 350, two Ferraris
    I Could have bought a Third World country
    With the riches that I've spent
    But hey
    All modern economics claim that I deserved
    Every single cent
    And the one time I'm the lesser half
    Is when we split the tab
    So here's to Friends, Family and Liberty, Genuinity, here's to
    Happiness, Success, Good Press, No Stress...
    But most of all...
    Here's to Me!
    Here's to Me!
    Here's to Me!
    There will be nothing left...
    So...
    Here's to Me! ([Dea Pecuniae:] Oh baby, baby)
    Here's to Me! ([Dea Pecuniae:] I'll take care of you)
    Here's to Me!
    There will be nothing left...
    Nothing left...
    ...for you
     
    [Dea Pecuniae:]
    "If you're looking for fulfillment
    A Kingdom and a Crown
    A Paradise of Free Rides
    I am here...
    ...to let you down
    I'll get you the sexy cars
    And a taste of divinity
    A glimpse of the Stars
    Immortality
    But then Vanity
    Will leave you dried and scarred
    ([Mr. Money:] That's right, oh, give it to me!)
    Here's to Me! ([Mr. Money:] Oh baby, baby)
    Here's to Me! ([Mr. Money:] You'll take care of me)
    Here's to Me!
    To me"
     
    [II. Permanere]
    [Mr. Money:]
    But then when it's silent
    And the lights from the bars go down
    I need comforting
    'Cause somewhere there deep inside
    Feelings of loss arise
    And I hate to lose!
     
    [III: I Raise My Glass]
    They say it's lonely at the top
    Then I'm as lonely as can be
    But I am not too sorry
    You see, I've chosen this company
    I got myself a winning team
    It's Me, Myself and I
    You bet it's lonely at the top old friends
    And I'm here today to tell you suckers why!
    (Dea Pecuniae!)
    Dea Pecuniae
    Money rules...
    They claim that I get paid for my big Responsibility
    But hey, you know...
    That is just a lame excuse
    For my egocentricity
    They say that we're really the same you and I
    And I truly do agree
    You see
    Just like me
    You live for me
    Until the day you die
    And so I raise my glass to all of you who really believe that I get
    paid for my big responsibility
    To all of you who suck it up and pay my debts
    To all of you who think that my lifestyle does not affect the environment
    Or the poverty
    Well, maybe not more than marginally anyway
    Good for you!
    And you know what?
    Here's to you...
    And I raise my glass, to those of you who give their piece of the cake
    for free, for me to throw in the face of democracy
    For those who help making solidarity ideologically untrendy
    And charity individualistically idiotic, unsmart and characteristically bendy
    I salute thee you poor bastards 'cause you all nod while I sit at your table
    So let's raise our glasses one last time, to give you all the greatest
    recognition and credit of all times - cause after all, let's face it;
    that's the only "thank you" you will ever get
    So come on now - raise your glasses!
    Here's to YOU
    There will be nothing left - no!
    Nothing left...
    ...but money

    [drifting]
    Oh Lord
    Oh Lord
    Won't you hear a sinner's prayer
    Oh Lord
    Oh Lord
    Oh Lord
    Won't you help me find the way
    When I'm lost and lead astray
    Oh Lord
    Mmm...
    Oh Lord
    Oh Lord
    Won't you help me to stay humble
    Oh Lord
    Oh Lord
    Oh Lord
    Won't you help me be an ocean
    Help me bend to stay unbroken
    Oh Lord
    Mmm...
    Save me, I'm drifting
    H elp me, I'm drifting
    Oh Lord...
    Oh Lord...
    Oh Lord
    [Mr.Money:]
    - OK alright baby, the love of my life
    [Girl:]
    - Are you referring to me... or the car?
    [Mr. Money:]
    - Oh, please honey, what do you think?
    - Now, Cindy...
    [Girl:]
    - Sandra
    [Mr Money:]
    - Yeah, of course. Now, as I see it, we've got two natural choices
    here. So, what do you say? Either I drive and you can give me some
    good head while I'm watching the road...
    [Girl:]
    - What?
    [Mr. Money:]
    - Well, somebody's gotta watch the road honey...
    - ...or... YOU can drive this baby
    - ...oh, but only if you're good at handling the stick of course...
    [Girl:]
    - But... this is an automatic?
    [Mr. Money:]
    - ...rrrright!
    [Girl:]
    - Is that some sort of sick joke?
    [Mr. Money:]
    - What?
    [Girl:]
    - ... "natural choices" my ass!
    [Mr. Money:]
    - Well, that's a third choise I didn't think about...
    [Girl:]
    - You son of a...!
    [Mr. Money:]
    - Take it easy baby!
    - No sweat... it was only a joke, alright?
    [Girl:]
    - Alright
    [Mr. Money:]
    - ... I mean, of COURSE I was joking...
    - ... I would NEVER let you drive my car!

    "Lilium Cruentus. . ."

     
    5. Lilium Cruentus
     
    [(Deus Nova) On The Loss Of Innocence]
    [A Scene in Brown and Yellow:]

    At first I don't know why your presence fills me with unease
    Though I've missed you more than Life itself
    I freeze
    It's like you've been lost and now you're glad to see my face
    But as you sit down my confusion turns to distress
    Not knowing how to let you know that you are
    Dead
    (I wake up sweating)
    They tell me you are better off
    Where you are now
    Well, I don't care
    They tell me that your pain is gone
    Where you are now
    Well, you left it here
    See, I need to be strong
    Need to be brave
    I need to put faith in something
    How could I live on
    Not hoping we will meet
    Again?
    [A Scene in White and Grey:]
    Under the icon's weight the old thoughts lay
    Under the cross so still and pale
    The flowers usher the stale breath of Death away
    And someone tries to sing
    But the bird of song has lost its wings
    Now it twitches
    Rips the stitches of a chest where tears are torn
    And where all loss begins
    Life seems too small when Death takes its toll
    I need something to blame for this pain
    [A Scene in Amber - Flawed:]
    And have you ever had that dream
    Where one you love passes away?
    And you wake up crying to a world
    Where she's long since gone
    But you feel the pain
    So close
    As if she'd died today
    But I need to be strong
    I need to be brave
    I need to put faith in something
    How could I live on
    Not hoping we will meet
    Again
    Some day?
    Earth to Earth, Dust to Dust
    A verse we know too well
    Like a nursery rhyme
    Just in reverse
    'Cause we are all the little tin man
    With hearts like little tin cans
    And as we line them down with tears
    Over the years
    They inevitably turn
    To rust
    Life seems too small when Death takes its toll
    I need something to blame for this pain
    I try, I fail, I fall, like anyone you know
    I break, I bleed, like anyone you know
    [A Scene in Blood on White:]
    Where the linen's changed just for tonight
    And somehow we beat her to this sight
    This ghostly room of Exit
    That she enters by the flicker of candle light
    And in her breast
    A desert storm is taking form
    An old thirst that can never be quenched or killed
    Sweeps over the cold
    Broken but thousandfold
    "My Love!"
