Don't be afaid
It's a harmless moon
All we can do
Is to assume
Our lives must change
A change is due
I hear you say
What are we gonna do
I don't know - make it
I don't know - shake it
I don't know - break it down
What are we wanna do
I don't know - make it
I don't know - shake it
I don't know - break it down
O' weeping night
O' grieving sky
O' rabbit wind
You just flew by
Grant me this
Some small reward
Don't announce
The time of the final call
My dream was this:
Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye
...a slate-grey cloud...
Comes through the dust -
Locust
Dont' be afraid

What is all this love for
If we have to go out in the dark
Lalalalalala
What joy we had
In the locust summer
What fires we lit
In the locust years
Black hundreds
Black thousands
Lalalalalala
What joy we had
In the locust summers
What fires we lit
In the locust years
Black hundreds
Black thousands
Rivers that run
Rippled with red
Ravaged and raped
With our roar roar roaring
Lalalalalala
What joy we had
In the locust summer
What fire we lit
In the locust years
For only the strong survive
All of the weak are trampled under
All of the weak are trampled under
Lalalalalala
This is only here in this place
And with these parting tears pour of the flesh
A freaking and falling
A crying and calling
Foreign words crawling rivers
Beaches moment's ebbing
Broken watches
Launch cathar
Mama in my room
You left me burning
You left me burning
You left me burning
Lalalalalala
Animals melting servants screaming
Crouched in corners coughing crying
Renting scalding masts of walls
Chanting scalding baby dying
And life force ebbing
Lalalalalala
What joy we had
In the locust summers
What fires we lit
In the locust years
Bloody tower of hysteria
A bloody vase of rape
He calls the living
He calls the dying
He breaks the thunder
And then it seemed as if
The whole world was burning
For only the strong survive
All of the week get trampled under
Lalalalalala
What joy we had
In the locust summers
What fires we lit
In the locust years
Black hundreds
Black thousands
Rivers that run run rippled with red
Ravaged and raped
With our roar roar roaring
What screaming joy
In the locust years
Nick my life away
Lick my life away
Lalalalalala
What joy we had
In the locust summers
What fires we lit

Sweet caress
Grazes my skin
It's loveless
These hooks sink in
Behind an angel's disguise
An insect preys
Mandibles cut like a knife
A reckoning
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Surrender
These veins are bled
Devoured
Nothing sacred
Strings pull the marionettes
See how they dance
Upon the winds that beget
Our pestilence
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Descending down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old
Suffer unto the locust
Bleeding from my eyes
This plague is sent to erase us
Bleeding from inside
These vermin can't infiltrate us
Faith appears and holds a candle
Hark the angels sing
Forming clouds
Their shadow shrouds
Louder the tattered wings they sound
Tear the veil
The lies derail
Purity ever will prevail
Trumpets sound
The shattered crown
Halos of truth now they surround
The charade comes down
Down they come
The swarm of locusts
Skies above
Converge to choke us
Feast of souls
Consume the harvest
Young and old

suspicions, will you trick me to co-author your plans, elaborate plans.

Closed your eyes. Shut your mouth.
Bound your wrists. Spine pulled out.
Full of you so you have
become my shedding doubt.
I suck life from your weakened little hole.
I feel lust, and control your little worthless,
every little splinter, every little shiver, know.
Your apathetic flesh is more alluring than your soul.
Frail legs crawling slow, under translucent glow.
Some things are better left undead and so it goes.
Come falling from the wind, to bring the jittered end,
to strip the world of all it's leading to temptations tin
So lick the plate clean child, and dry your wettend smile.
It's an acquired taste, the souls slide down better, after a while.
In dark the locusts breed, just live to fuck and feed.
Such little creatures, we can't help but suck you of your needs.
So swarming covers you, oh, but you thought you knew.,
Tthe warning heeded not unfolds, beneath an acid dew.
This ticking in your brain, hard strikes the writhing rain.
You feel a million sets of reaping 'cisors clamp and chew.
A drain of heads and tails, drown out in buzz your wails.
Not even marrow left to tell the living of your lies.
And as the harvest fast, becomes the then, the past,

when the mist of the morning falls
a silence calls from the faith
baying at the window of my wondering
everything is faded, growing near to the ground
hiding in a corner of the doorway
the light is the fear of the shadow
near the leaves where the locust leaps
the spider's under the streets
in her catacomb museum
her lovers' mausoleum
with the kiss of the killing doors
the darkness creeps down the stairs of my vision and I feel the walls inside
I feel someone inside me now
everything is faded, growing near to the ground
hiding in a corner of the doorway
shadow of the world
a field of locust swarming down again
a field of locust swarming down
now the jackals of the nightmare
lay at the feet of the lunatics
hands through the dark are crawling over me
shadow of the world
a field of locust swarming down again
a field of locust swarming down
a field of locust swarming down again
a field of locust swarming down

Georgie, I can't stop drinking
Seems like every time I try, I can't stop thinking
Georgie, when I was a boy
I would be standing in the shade of a wedding cake
hotel doorway
Watching sister with her liquor in a jar
Talk to older boys in cars
Ether was the town where I was born
They pulled iron from the ground and knife wounds from
the port
They built a prison and it tempered in the sun
It rose up off a plateau like the last tooth in a gum
You went there by train
And you would never be the same
They made the blacks live outside of town
The weekend come they'd tear the whole place down
The Chinese came without weekends at all
And the whites complained the pay was better shooting
them in the war
Home may be where the calm blinds
But I could see that they weren't lying
My first girl's old man was in a later war
He drank like a motherfucker, now I know what for
She took my van, put Louie in the jack
left a suicide note and I've got him to thank for that
And he can thank his statesman hosts
Although his chances are remote
Georgie, I can't stop drinking
Seems like every time I try, I can't stop thinking
Georgie, when I was a boy
I would be standing in the shade of a wedding cake
hotel doorway
Watching sister with her liquor in a jar

Stabbed in the heart, life's falling apart
Never look back, but I don't want to
Your selfish ways will catch up one day
Never look back
I guess we just went downhill
A shame, but life is cruel
Should have known, we became so silent
I didn't ask, but I wanted to
The connection, barely worth it
I'm confused, and honestly dry
Now I'm asking master questions
It seemed natural at the time
Now my bed is free
Crushed pillows, rolled back sheets
Now the mess is mine
I can do whatever I like
We're banging our heads together
Crossed wires, we do intrude
My hopes and wishes are blasted
You dumb girl, it was never you
I guess we just went downhill
Aware of the fact we clash
No love is ever perfect
We made the effort, and now it's passed

How should I go on, without you to guide me?
I don't think I should
I don't think I should
How should I go on, without you to help me?
I don't think I should
I don't think I should
Feel me breathe
Feed me need
Breathing softly, next to me
Lost if you do
Lost if you don't
Laughing at myself
With you locked inside, my mind is a warm place
Where the air is sweet
A place where I can see
What I might become, and what I might create
With you on my side
With nothing left to fate
Everything in reach
It's all there to see
Lost in you
Lost in me
Nowhere's home
Almost free
Touched on every side, by those who would help me
I won't take their gift
For what would I give?
Show me that I'm wrong, and I'd believe
I know that you could
You know that I would
I know that I'm lost

Care - I know you want to care
Love - I know you really love
That someone is waiting: the girl with the fairytale dream
Touch - I know you gently touch
Fear - you have no need to fear
That someone is waiting: the girl with the fairytale dream
Share - I know you long to share
Need - you've had your time alone
That someone is waiting: the girl with the fairytale dream

Where are the flowers?
Where are the bees?
Where is the blossom that grows on the trees?
Fruits of the summer ain't as ripe as they ought to be
The grass in the park just ain't as green
Where are the people in sandals and shorts
Eating al fresco at Sanchez D'Amour?
Look at the clouds: they are black as the night
Sack the weatherman, 'cause he didn't get it right
In summer it's raining

When you feel the need
When the heart unfolds
When you've thought it through
When the hurting stops
Will you think of me?
If you called my name
Asked the time of day
Caught my parting words
Had something good to say
Would you think of me?
Would you think of me?
Of all the moods that I've been through
Of all the things I'd thought I'd do
I'll keep on trying
Keep on dying
To be seen by you
If you feel in need
Of a hand to hold
And you've thought through
How it all unfolds
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

You say you're not going anywhere
Does that mean time is the conjurer here?
I'm sold, but I'm paid for
By our old friend fear
Unacceptable to do exactly what I feel
When every fibre compels me to reveal
My love can imagine questions and answers
One way or another can reveal
'Cause there's nowhere I can see a sign
Inscribed for me with fate's design
And if I've learnt something
It's back to this moral code
Gestured split direction
Along the same old road
My love can imagine questions and answers
One way or another can reveal
'Cause there's nowhere I can see a sign
Inscribed for me with fate's design
For everything there's a price to pay
But do we ever realize the day?
My love can imagine questions and answers
One way or another

Jennifer... where do you go at night?
Is no-one there to hold you tight?
Above your head I see a golden ball
And it catches light from all around you
Jennifer says she'll be back when she's older
She's fixing her wings just to fly
Leaves me a note on her beautiful paper
Fixing her wings just to fly
Closer still, I hear a melody
Singing loud and clear, above the trees
Like a siren's call, away on a distant boat
Like a memory that breaks you in two
Jennifer says she'll be back when she's older
She's fixing her wings just to fly
Leaves me a note on her beautiful paper
Fixing her wings just to fly

Don't you speak to her like that
She's just a crazy, mad girl with a jukebox heart
Punching, whirring, singing tunes that take her head apart
But that doesn't mean that she can stop
It's all screwed tight as a knot
So you adjust your sight, and press the buttons right

There wasn't room
Inside that smoke-filled room
You were beside yourself
Not beside me
You've caught up
You believe that you've grown up
We know you thought that up, needless to say
You had your way, king for a day
You always see that you have your way
I'd suggest
If they were to be impressed
And see you at your best
It would be without me
But you never knew
What I could be without you
What I could ever do
Without you
Without you
I'd start anew
I'd take control
I could be just like you...

No-one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love
Nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you, love

Beneath the tailor's stitches
Crowds and crowds of butchers play
Hung high from the ceiling
Staring at it, wondering how...
No tree, no wall can stop their hell
No snake, no trick is accounted for
I am the murderer
Complete this fatal moment
While you're twisted and ready
For duty calls: you are the bravest of all men
No suit, no shoe can hide the smell
No snake, no trick is accounted for
I am the murderer
I'm clean of consequence
I'm niggling, shameful, guilty
I'm tempted, I'm hungry
Instinct to kill
My will has dropped, and I want it with a passion
I'm lead by the weapon and it's red for hire
But I'm clean of consequence
I am the murderer

Something that you said is living in my head
Grows nightly inside me
And though my dream exists, memory persists
To fight me, despite me
Silver words you spoke, under your breath
Making whirlwinds in my head
“There is a light shining for you? he said,
“That doesn't shine here for me too? he said
So passion echoes doubtfully
And falls against the walls of my dream
Through open pores, tiny trickles to the sea
The story as is read is hanging by a thread
Tread lightly, slightly, so lightly
And, leaving me exposed, the folie I proposed
Has fooled me, ruled me, ridiculed me
Silver words ?spoke, under my breath
Making whirlwinds in my head
“Do they really deserve you?? he said
“Have my words really fooled you?? he said
And passion echoes doubtfully
And falls against the walls of my dream
