Lyrics:
Eight princesses stand trial
trying to steal the northern light
trying to cage it and hide
to gain eternal life
Eight princesses look surprised
luminous faces gleaming eyes
auras of light when they rise
new glow of eternal life
Overstimulation
can't be regular
all need to get noticed
you can't be you
From the abyss of confusion
one's got a clear view
put on a brand new face
if that's the price you pay
tell me how to escape
Beauty and youth
commodified truths
diamonds don't choose their home
Self-evaluation
feels like freedom but it's not
at all times at your disposal
who could refuse
This is a dream
not your own one
and now you want more
feed off a loss or win
as a prize you'd fit right in
no more shield of your own will
Eyes glowing eyes
lightning hides nights
passion is out of sight
Eight princesses passed trial
luminous lies piled to the sky
sweet scent of sulphur and bile
left orbit waved goodbye
Eight princesses lost control
felt like gods
oh how they glowed
keep on feeding the black hole
entropy has grown
