The sun is rising in the valley
And the sorrow breaks the dawn
The casting of the ages
Shows us the one and the one
We prepare the passage
We see that it is done
The borrowers they see us
And ask for what has come
Before us lays veils of water
Behind us sets the sun
We'll sleep with no dreams tonight
Tomorrow leave as one
The rising is no illusion
The fallen have become
The wisdom is ancient
Our reason bleeds the sun
Fading through the season
The endless age is one
A temple within us
This is all I've known. a way to be
True to all, all that inspires
A torch in a black sea, our stones still stand
To remind us of loss, a loss mirrored on our souls
A watchfire brings strength, breathe in the heat
'Progress' is not progress, it is everlasting destruction
Technology is backwards
Born of MACHINE
Worship MACHINE
Slave to MACHINE
Become MACHINE
Modern civilization, a contradiction in terms
In terms of survival
Man is made to obey the...
Are we nothing but living...
MACHINE - a dead hand, it's work expresses death
No spirit in it's skeletal framework
The falsification of Man, to what end?
TO WHAT END?
Born of MACHINE
Worship MACHINE
Slave to MACHINE
Become MACHINE
Perverted ingenuity of Man
Fools, we've lost out earthly wisdom
Not the way of nature
In a man-made state of disarray
We blame others for the problems
that we create for ourselves
Too scared to look inward for the fear
Of seeing what we see in them
Anger
Hurt
The hidden guilt manifests
Neurotic symptoms appear as we hide from the truth
A pattern forms and becomes rule
Our lives become a host to the parasite
Of actions caused by our denial of responsibility
Tonight's nightmare is tomorrow's reality
You look for betterness in everything you see
But poison all hopes of what might be
Rewards of compulsion that only satisfy
The mental cancer that infects
Those who deny
What the self reflects
Look inside and find the strength
To face reality without fear
Look to yourself and you will see
Isolated so long, blighted by the first frost.
Longing for the warmth of human touch.
Through this wall of ice I can see you.
Callous only outside, from the kicking
And the beating down.
Please rip them from my body, please!
Glacier growing larger.
Mirror growing darker.
Do you see the blue?
My foont of consciousness.
Has been ignored.
The healing touch of time has abandoned me.
Abandoned me!
The longing brings me near, but the fear
Keeps me inchesworlds away.
Reaching through the ice at last.
But you feel the frost and run.
Run from me back to the secure.
(You didn't belong here anyway)
And I'm left still, still longing
Still cold
the presence unfound comes to me now
endure, see this knowledge denied out of mind
to deny until i say feed us alive
sight as i speak inside us born
cherished and driven
the secrets of stars hide within the grey
this grey will fade, so will the stars cease to shine
fear realized come as shape feed desolate
cull the snake, cull path to god
make us see, wrath to survive
darkness looms, the moons have stricken
showing all, constant revision
all structures collapse, mysteries unfold
borne from the skies in these times of grace
prey device immersion feed us alive
sight as i speak inside us born
Through silver in blood
We stand judged not by
Eyes of flesh, when
Transit times cross
Prey vision consumed
Bleeding one
Bleed alone
Breeding love
Windstorm promised
The teeth strained
Eyes see glory
Rings end in slow
Death wash out
Your wound, rings
End in slow death
Don't crawl seek his burn of war
On lasts the kill in the cold - the crush
Succumbs humanity - the blind will lead
The walk
(Coal shoved into my skull - the time)
(Of beasts - a time to rise)
The mind plants seeds of time defined
Within my loathsome eyes - the is black
Of rage - red
(Derek Disck/Steve Rothery/ Pete Trewavas/ Micheal Pointer/Mark Kelly/Brian Jellyman)
The rain auditions at my window
Its symphony echoes in my womb
My gaze scans the walls of this apartment
To rectify the confines of my tomb
I'm the cyclops in the tenement
I'm the soul without the cause
Crying midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors
Clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor
Stained by the wine from a shattered glass
Meaningless words
Yellowed by time
Faded photos exposing pain
Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
Christ, you've finished playing hangman
You've cast the fateful dice
Advice, advice, advice me, this shroud will not suffice
And thus begins the web
Attempting to discard these clinging memories
I only serve to wallow in our past
I fabricate the weave with my excuses
Its strands I hope and pray shall last
Oh please do last
Oh please do last
The flytrap needs the insects
Ivy caresses the wall
Needles make love to the junkies
The sirens seduce with their call
Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
Confused and rejected, despised and alone, I kiss isolation on it's fevered brow
Security clutching me
Obscurity threatening me
Christ, your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified
I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry
But even jesters cry
I realise I hold the key to freedom
Oh I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
I realise I hold the key to freedom
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads
The time has come to make decisions
The changes have to be made
Now I leave you
The past does have it's say
You're all but forgotten
A mote in my heart
Decisions have been made
They've been made
Decisions have been made
I've conquered my fears, all my fears
The flaming shroud, the flaming shroud
Where are they now?,
they are gone,
I saw them run,
run to the sea,
under the waves,
all has been said,
can you hear them?
Their voices are free,
free from the sun stare,
free from the noise,
of lost souls...
In exiled sound,
washed in with the tide,
their voices are free,
free from the sun stare,
free from the noise,
of lost souls...
Their voice carrys life,
under the waves,
under the waves,
Their voice carrys life,
under the waves,
under the waves,
under the waves,
to burrow my way through death and flesh
all beasts i let out ú ill buried untold
to lock my cage ú unleash the fallen
fear eyes contain light in my soul
feral snakes collide burn in my skull
freeing the circles ú that night i saw a burial train
all thieves i bludgeon
from ice i burn breathe astral plane
greyed eye enclosed ú seer east is gone
from now on, farther on
i'm nailed to the crossroads searching for the piece of me
that wasn't mine, blood dripping from my hands
my end has seen the figure of my lightkeeper
he is the last we'll know mercy for you
he is the last you'll know
all revealed in our solace see three eyes
all our crimes trial waits everyone
the presence of old eyes is here
grant me the pure heart we've lived through
in times of light fire is water
breath and reach to home
all answer, transcendence all present
When it begins - Takeahnase - the floods will sever the
christs from the earth. Thieves called it property -
Takeahnase - you'll drown for our mother's disgrace.
We tried to tell you, now let us show you. You'll know
the way. Like spiny fingers you'll separate. You'll
know the way. Takeahnase.
Cold, distorted air - Takeahnase - the blood must flow
to pay for your hour. This human garbage - Takeahnase
- You'll drown for our mother's disgrace.
No seed will grow of this barren earth. Our hope
unborn has died. I've slept in the dirt under the light
of the moon and I know our souls have perished.
Calling to those that would hear but I am deaf.
Clawing at those that would feel but I am dead to my
own fears.
Our cancer has grown into a stone. This water tastes
like poison. Your doomsday machine towers above
me to instill my vision.
Glowing pyre in the wind, like a glowing pyre in the
wind I stand to heal.
I tried to touch the feelings they have shown, our
cancer's grown into a stone. More cracks as our
ceiling caves in. This is our destiny.
To try to ake an order out of
Muddled thoughts and dream - To
Watch hope and desire torn
Apart from the seams - Construct
A wall of hatred out of failures
Crumbled ruins - To crawl with
Bleeding fingers for the stones
To be moved
In my dreams I witness terrors
When I wake up they are true
They're of pain and anguish
Feelings I never knew
To crawl through the maze of life
And never find the door
To stumble on the corpse of emotion
Sprawled across the floor
To stare blankly at one's image
And then coldly turn away
Blazing eye sees all
Nature of firey triumph
Patterns unfold
Whispers revealing
Path of spiral reaps
Fetal buried gold
Humbled in the womb
A centre opens
To the unknown
Can you feel your fate
Can you see you're
Biding time hide
From your life
Drowning in the birth
Place of the sun
Descending the path
Of an ascending god
Purify my hells to
Climb the heavens
Sacrifice the flesh
Feeding solar visions
Set your mind to soil
Set your mind to soil
In darkness
Bringing light
A knowing old
A knowing wise
Flames to blades
On earth, stabbing
Scorching sacred lust
Fall back to stone
unsafe
unsure and screaming
i turn and face the sun
burning with a beatiful rage
turn away
weave and spin
in the fields of time i? ve lain to crawl the inner plane
weave and spin
awakened crystal pain through and down by a
sent down low scar my soul
wall, it comes in waves free and invisible
break this peace seal the blow
mother crawled away to see the star
this is where i? ve come to bear
feel the calm and flow and the procession
witness to my fate anew
bodies fall away, spirits burn
trapped inside i abide this ordeal
drawn in and praying in waste, sent out and smashing down
i endure this place and this pain
distant sounds pass by etching this tunnel
i go on, igo on
Do they deal in favors
So that time will roll by
And that peace will stand still
The television denies
They keep your life focused on their truth
To have their truth they must have your life
The illusion of freedom
That will blacken your heart's blood
And dull your senses
Plugged into deception
see the suffering of their lives as you pass them by
Read about the daily tragedies in the paper
Get your depression fix from the T.V. set
It's all too real - can you deal with it?
Quietly whispered lies of happiness
Shouted the truth of being
Face the daily tragedies
with learned insensitivity
Sacrificed souls; preserved sanity

From the hill I've been watching stealing the light.
In my dreams I touch animal blood
Rich earth, swallow it down deep into my soul
It feeds her war and raises my true nature
When I awake I am whole
All the gods are screaming
My feet of clay lead me on through the void and far beyond
To demonstrate my will and path
To embrace the wolf in her glory
All hail her and wash this time in blood
The horizon will burn
With the wind at your back and the light in your eyes
The freeze of your blindness will show
Under the cloud cover, the flares signal change
Will you ever know?
The fields, they are burning, the smoke chokes your breath
Will you stand or run?
You dream of a mountain, the peaks rise to the sky
Will you answer its call?
Is your heart still beating? Can you feel this at all?
This landslide will bury us all
With the storm on your mind and the clouds in your eyes
Will you survive?
Lie in wait, I will lie awake
[Instrumental]
Torn of this land's disgrace
Too hungry to contain a future
The sun bathes my wounds with a veil of rage
It's rays dyed with the blood of our disrespect
Suffering for the wisdom long forgotten
The sound of bloodletting echoes on the wind
The suicide of drought for a faith destroyed
We starve with pride and glass in our throats
Harvest their return
Those who drive away the sun
The masks lay fallen, sheltered in the dust
Tearing our flesh amongst wolves
See how they run as we laugh
In lunar horizons there is understanding
Harvest their return
like the walls of your stare, you will fall (within you)
succumb to the new and give way
old fields will fail (memory)
yielding crops of rock ad dust
a book lies open, its pages crumble at your touch
words breed lies (writhe)
wind feeds fire unseen
have you ever tasted the soil (destiny)
and felt your own death in your veins
shield your eyes from the moon (found them all)
as it mocks your wretched self
with fire in your heart the truth lies clear
words breed lies (writhe)
wind feeds fire unseen
bend your thoughts, unveil your soul
Trying to stand clear of the scent of dogs
In a sweat 'til I, wave of extinction, scatter seed
All that is growing, clear energy
All that is growing, clear energy
Within our vision a hover wasps
Air and glower fill our veins
Heavy mining under the fall
Figures forming, stretching on
Cease this long, long rest
Wake and risk a foul weakness to live
When it all breaks down
Watch the smoke and bury the past again
Sit and think what will come
Sacrifice your security
Sell your identity, integrity
Give till it hurts, give some more, give it all away
Sacrifice yourself
The choice I made is my own
The cycles they are clawing
Thrive
Wander, then starve
The cycles they are thawing
Dive
Wallow, then freeze
Silence
Ripping up through the cracks
The thriving of the doomed
Before the cleanse to dust
Rise
Feed
Ripen
Wound
Wither
Fall
Rise again
Taking time
by the forelock
A chronology for survival
Ba di da di da di da da da
Ba di da di da di da di da da da dum
Ba di da di da di da da da
Ba di da di da di da di da da da dum
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning, I
Fell through the floor watched you rise through the ceiling
She's so high, higher than thought can think
A mere sprite, like one of the nubilate
So hold tight, she radiates light from her
Jokes, it's what men prefer
They need the centre of things
The centre of things
I watched them packing up all Sunday morning
The day of the fourth and they fled without warning
It's so bright, the sun almost burns your eyes
A cruel fight, I feel I can sympathise
Famine, it pours over boiling words
It's more than we deserve
Love is a beautiful curse
A beautiful curse
Ba di da di da di da da da
Ba di da di da di da di da da da dum
She said I'm stained like a girl from the bowery
I pay my respects to her hourly
I'm just so clumsy and circumspect
I never know what it meant
Perhaps it was heaven sent
She's so high, this kitten on gasoline
And codeine, fuelled by her medicine
She lies back. "Handsome." she says again,
"You've always been my friend."
Lord it's the loveliest day
The loveliest day
Ba di da di da di da da da
Ba di da di da di da di da da da dum
Ba di da di da di da da da
Ba di da di da di da di da da da dum
I have been stripped of a layer of meaning, I
Fell through the floor watched you fly through the ceiling
And I find, you're finer than porcelain
Or bromine on silver gelatine
In blue sky, she's carried by seraphim
Aptly named valium
Into the arms of the night
The arms of the night
Ba di da di da di da da da
Ba di da di da di da di da da da dum
Ba di da di da di da da da
On this earth - lay me down
Soil my blood - this shell will fade
Gods with eyes - i'm ready now
At the hanging tree - giver of life
Great mother heal - I will rise
(I believe in you - we all keep the flame
We are all pure flame inside)
Down spiraling outward
Revive to survive
Prey to the mystics
Prey on
Dust falls through my hands
Dreams shatter away
Burning glow turns to ash
Thrown to wind
The weave in my dreams
My strength of fates
The tunneling helix
Tongue a flame
A healing delusion
Beyond true will
A seering blue gaze
Breath my fire
What hath god wrought
Divine misthought
No senses, cold and sedate
A self-imposed
Fear-driven state
Too hurt to see
Unhidden truth
Increasing void
This is no soil to forgive,
The blaze of a helios sky.
Rage will blossom into iron;
Blind as a worm in the earth.
Our pain will rise,
And breath a new dawn.
When the illusion clears,
All we are is blood.
We gnaw and pull at the root;
A starved beast with the mind of a fool.
Skin stretched over bone cannot hide,
The way we are bleeding inside.
Beyond vision bears the drum.
Blood makes no excuse.
The one eyed all become kings,
While shadows creep from dark holes.
A taste of acidic bitter,
Burns the voice out of the skull.
Smoke from a gaping wound;
Spirit already flown.
Views eternal from a sunken eye
Over a bride of spectral light
Winds wither, rake, and weather
Prophecy flows in whispers
In a shadow world,
We hide in light.
The paths become clear, the road's true
Oaths have been sworn.
The temporal spiral away,
Bleeding light in a life spent in broken arms,
can't return my soul to the mountain.
Desperate eyes reach the sleeping dark vessel
filling within the desert.
Visions raining destroying where I began.
Set adrift I pray to the ocean.
Waves of dreams,
Bare my heart for deliverance.
The closer I get the further
I become... become... become...
.the beast that conquered me.
And traveled through my head.
And sprayed like blood on you.
I can't walk away anymore.
The moon stuck the promise through my heart.
Lightning strikes and leads me through.
Bleeding walls, as the oceans hold on me.
Her fingers reach to raise the dawn.
All the rest have fallen on,
Returning the sun.
All the rest have fallen on,
The pressure released.
Father's distant whispered eyes,
Guide me to the mountains.
Her fingers reach to raise the dawn.
All the rest have fallen on,
Returning the sun.
All the rest have fallen on,
When the serpent swallows its tail,
With a half-eaten heart.
The god of reason deserts me.
Only earth and sky remain;
Mountains shake and wake me.
Words of the seeress reveal.
Carve out my eye that I might see,
Treacherous thoughts unfold
In time and show their nature.
Bleed the pig of its lies.
On the wind we're forced to call.
Call upon the fates as always.
On the wind we're forced to call.
Call upon the fates as always.
Scrape the black tar from your past life.
Let its weight burn away.
Stand within the guiding power.
In time the silence gives way
The grain betrays our larval state
Seethe Burns All
Standing wild on ragged stones
Waiting to be
To be found
To be found
The water flowing slow and black
The air of the blackbirds all
Standing wild on ragged stones
Waiting to be
To be found
To be found
Looking away from the fall of tomorrow
Tunneling through the black that will follow
Tearing the sickness from hearts that are hollow
behind a burning red fog
the great mind swims in confusion
its blood ferments in anger
honor and wisdom will cower
your river's flow is damned all to hell
drifting in a current to stagnate
encircle the vision of rust
your river's flow is damned all to hell
strong hearts soar through blindness
tearing the fog, tearing the eyes to clarity
to a place where truth is seen
your shell is hollow, so am I
12. LIFE ON YOUR KNEES
christ died nailed to a cross
(life on your knees, get down on your knees)
now he's an icon to the spineless mass
(life on your knees, enforced reality)
bring your mind forth and submit
(life on your knees, stay down on your knees)
just let him take you away
(life on your knees, assume conformity)
ch.
welcome to the world of your mindless life
away from the reality of your lifeless mind
he was no better than the rest of us
crucified for doing what was right to him
and you'll do no better, we're all slaves
let go now, look within
ch.
break the chains on your mind
don't spend your life on your fucking knees
the power is within yourself
take a hold of your life
if you spend your life waiting for heaven
you'll never get out of hell
All of us go through our lives
And never stop to think for a second
We producs and impenetrable womb
And seal our existence
Controlled by boundaries of mind
We ignore any reasoning
And we still all wonder why our whole race is doomed
And we do as we're told
And we grow so cold
I woke up in the morning, spent the night in the trenches
again
The first thing I do is grab my gun
The enemy is near, it was dangerous to sleep
I was lucky to have lived to see the sun
In a foreign land fighting for my country
Over words that the politicians said
I look and meet the eyes of an enemy soldier
Aiming his gun at my head
Stalemate...
Panicked thoyghts run through my mind
Visions of my death unwind
Standing there shaking in terror
I clutch my gun in despair
We look eachother in the eyes
Then we both realise that our roles are the same
Your mind is restricted
From years of obedience
Thoughts are never your own
Yourmind is a trap loaded with
Crap
Who decided your life? Not you
Never had it in you to look inside
And be you
Living life in a safety belt
Nothing inside anymore
Never crossed the line
Just content to whine
Always pay the fine
Mind by their design
It's time to purge your brain
No question at all
They've constructed the wall
But you had the bricks
(Ever increasing pressure fix)
(Pain of mind, sickness of heart)
Undermine the system that brings destruction
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Our lives are the cancer to their oppression
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
If you think the reason we are here
Is to fight our brothers and sisters and lovers
You must realize it's ourselves we fear
Do you feel the tension in our land?
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
From the hate zone to the high rise all built by man
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Distrust authority
The only rules are your own
Spilling blood for a piece of dirt
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Shows what a human being is worth
(Wake up and bury what's dead)
Third seed throw down
Visions of serpents cut life
Storm drown suffocated spirits
Regression's avowed, torment's pawn
Life bringing paradoxes of mysteries that
Teach when our lesion sees eye to soul
Will reach mind wars rise, struggle of the will
For soul to defeat the flight song of broken wings
Seeking light blinds
The eye to providence
Clean wall, we are hidden
Rats grow fat in our holes of the past
Transgressions' dawn, grim fate, abdicate
Marching to slaughter soul salvation
Our destiny awaits survival of our wrath
The frigid apparition waits silently transcendent
Life war arise, strength of soul's persistence
Through defeat flight song of broken wings
Deep, deep shining
Silver womb
Christ died nailed to a cross
(Life on your knees, get down on your knees)
Now he's an icon to the spineless mass
(Life on your knees, enforced reality)
Bring your mind forth and submit
(Life on your knees, stay down on your knees)
Just let him take you away
(Life on your knees, assume conformity)
Welcome to the world of your mindless life
Away from the reality of your lifeless mind
He was no better than the rest of us
Crucified for doing what was right to him
And you'll do no better, we're all slaves
Let go now, look within
Break the chains on your mind
Don't spend your life on your fucking knees
The power is within yourself
Take a hold of your life
If You Spend Your Life Waiting For Heaven
Fighting against the way we've been conditioned
Is the pain of life and mind
The more we see the more we know
The more we can't seem to find...
A way of living life free of control
Without reality being sch a fucking hole
Where all we have to do is survive
With no restrictions on our lives
In this situation we're forced to hypocrisy
We're made to set rules for ourselves
Distrust is taught as a way of survival
(Follow your heart, trust your head)
We've got to accept that we're all alike
Fascist is anarchist is life, one makes the other
And the other is one
Just reflections of black and white
--------------------------------------------------
Hammer in skull, I am waiting
To return your suffering
In my mind I see you distant
Broken and lost again
When you come back, I won't know you
We won't fit right like it was before
Time is truth, hard and cruel
And my heart has turned to stone
I crawled back in, I am hungry
I made sure my traps are set in space
We had been standing on these tracks
All the winds never called us back
We laid so long, eternal night
In my heart it never left
I'll stand here, you go on
When you see me I'll be gone
Every road brings us on
Sometimes I feel so far away
Other times I think I need a change today
Unwanted feelings of despair from inside
And all I want is a place to hide
Sometimes it makes me really angry
Other times it gets me really sad
But every time it happens the only thing I see is...
Black, black, black, all I see is...
I just want a little piece of mind
Away from all my pressures and the daily grind
I just want a place where I can be
Away from all the things that trouble me
Could things be better at the end of the road?
Or will the world outside still be cold?
For the inner tranquility that I lack
A sun that never sets burns on.
New light is this river's dawn.
When to speak of a word so old
is to relearn what is known.
A time to think back and move on.
Rebuild the loves of lives long gone.
The blood that flows through me is not my own.
The blood is from the past, not my own.
The blood that leads my life is not my own.
Follow the sheep
As the wolf drives the sheep to slaughter
Stand with the wolf
As the sheep at eachother
Crumbling at the roots
Fearing of the wolf
Love your fellow sheep
As you march straight in to death
