Been goin' too tight
You're rotten, you know
Got iron buzz around your neck
Oh no your body can't get out
Oh no nobody can get in
Sealed off in a chamber
Of your choosing
I'm on the outside
Watching you
I'm on the outside
Watching me
What do I see?
To inside from the outside
Come together, not a chance
Pure devotion, from a distance
There's no living in my life anymore
The seas have gone dry and the rain stopped falling
Please don't you cry anymore
Can't you see
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please
Don't send me to the path of nevermore
Even the valleys below
Where the rays of the sun were so warm and tender
Now haven't anything to grow
Can't you see
Why did you have to leave me
Why did you deceive me
You send me to the path of nevermore
When you say you didn't love me anymore
Nevermore
Her mother told her everyday: "Never lose control
Whatever then may come your way, a good girl takes it all."
And all the years she held her peace and followed every rule
but then depression dried her heart
and now she's screaming out
Nevermore - never we'll forget
Nevermore - one day you'll regret
He used to be a follower
and did what he was told
whatever they squeezed out of him
a good man bears it all.
But one day he was in their way
did not fit in their plan
they tried to kick him from the boat
and now he's screaming out
Nevermore - never we'll forget
Nevermore - one day you'll regret
Never we'll forget, no!
Born to be master of the world
Fear my ever-pounding words
I desecrate, desecrate false idols heed my way
I'm graced with understanding
My gifts are awe demanding
Collecting all the souls once lead astray
My will uncompromising
False Gods are realizing
The bitter end of their lies now fades away
Nevermore...
Nevermore... My bastions oh so foul
We scream for more...
Nevermore, Nevermore!
Long slumbering powers awaken
There will be no mistaking
I beacon all my rouges to taste the might
Crush all the subjugates
Dark will so concentrated
I'm scattering all the pieces
Of their twisted fucking world
Never again to see the light of day
Nevermore...
It's time to prey we'll seize the day
I wear the scars from the path this way
My mind is something beyond the real
Re-sculpt the throne
Where my world will kneel
I'm the master of the world
None defy my pounding words
I desecrate, desecrate
False idols blown away
Nevermore...
Nevermore...
Take the reigns with all my will and
Scream for more
Nevermore
Demons in my mind
bind to write the world
World forevermore
horror
Master of the pen
when the raven lies
Sighes, but never dies
darkness
The imp of
The perverse
whisper from the drink
The mask of
the red death
Hides the face of his tortured soul
[Chorus:]
Free mind confirmed
just behind reality
its kingdom is by the sea
Grim rhymes of yore
were born in Baltimore
the bird said: "Nevermore"
He was in love for
the only cause of doom
fighting for love with
the enamoured tomb
Was his love
like a dove
tender sweet and frail
Like a Sail
in a gale
He was the eternal lover
[Chorus]
in the edge of knife
Life in the tight rope
hope to take the slope
sorrow
in the time of tears
near the last shore
sore to take the door
Sadness
the pit and
the pendulum
hang over his heart
the black cat
the one-eyed
sees his conscience beyond the wall
On june fifth, in the year of eighty-nine,
he was unarmed with focused mind
Deflance glared down the barrel of the gun pointed from a tank in tiananmen square
And he stood there:
To control, to manipulate, the media his power slave
He knew the world was watching, knew he had a plan
To confront the powerful tyranny in the square of tiananmen
Ecstatic youth played with fire, freedom wash over them
Democracy their desire, the tiananmen man had a plan
Manipulate the media
He used blind faith in the face of anarchy,
the cybernetic rapture has begun to envelop me
Freedom is the rush, adrenaline high,
choice of the oppressed wiling to die
Like a hostage the government holds your drug
To control, to manipulate, the media his power slave
He knew the world was watching, knew he had a plan
To confront the powerful tyranny in the square of tiananmen
Ecstatic youth played with fire, freedom wash over them
Democracy their desire, the tiananmen man had a plan
Manipulate the media
His act was a cybernetic gesture
His act was a cybernetic gesture
He knew the world was watching, knew he had a plan
To confront the powerful tyranny in the square of tiananmen
Ecstatic youth played with fire, freedom wash over them
Democracy their desire, the tiananmen man had a plan
Manipulate the media, manipulate the media
Manipulate to control
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains, within the sound of silence.
In the restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestones.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
And my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, that spilt the night, and touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked night I saw, ten thousand people maybe more.
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening.
People writing songs that voices never share.
No one dares disturb the sound of silence.
'Fools' said I,'You do not know, silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words I might teach you, take my arms I might reach you.'
But my words like silence raindrops fell, echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls' And whisper in the sound of silence.
Take me away to the quiet place
Where the doors of perception open wide
Smiling faces greet me there
Loved and lost, lost inside
Take me away to the netherworld
Where we dance in the waves, the universe shines
The place that holds my beautiful dream
When I awake, I look to the sky and
Pray that I will live forever
The sorrow man will not be me
Today I'll change my life forever
For what I've seen must surely be
Fly me away on the wings of a dove
To the temple of knowledge we can fly
Smiling inside, peace so clear
One with the all, one within mind
Fly me away to a better world
Where there's no more war and can be no shame
The place that holds the great mystery
When I awake, I look to the sky and
Pray that I will live forever
The sorrow man will not be me
Today I'll change my life forever
For what I've seen must surely be
Here I am, body and soul
Flesh and blood, on this stage I play my role
No, there's no time left for gazing at the sky
No, there's no time left, kiss the wind goodbye and
Pray that I will live forever
The sorrow man will not be me
Today I'll change my life forever
For what I've seen must surely be
In the eyes of the sorrowed man...
See the man of hungry mind
Never had a dream to call his own
His sin in form of thought
He lived to milk the minds of the blind
To rule the sea of imagination
And the sanity assassin
Is coming down to steal your mind
So he takes an innocent's vision
The blind lead the blind, they say
Meet the sanity assassin
A trick of mind or the devil's whim
On the way to tomorrow's dream
He's fading away
See the man with the empty soul
Never had a face or will of his own
So he took another's pride
And he made a mask of faults
Defensive anger and false emotion
And the sanity assassin
Is coming down in a stream of black
So he takes what he cannot live
The black leads the blind astray
Meet the sanity assassin
A trick of mind or the devil's whim
On the way to tomorrow's dream
He's fading away
Sing your sweet poison, stealer of dreams
Bleed your sweet anguish and the form of dreams are born
Don't be afraid to dream outside the lines
Don't be afraid of painting pictures within your mind
Don't be afraid, your path is not of sorrow
Don't be afraid, dreams are immortal
Rise in the coming tide
Wave after wave of sleep crushing down
Hopes of the weakened and knowing
Awash in the undertow, falling away
Listen as the tale begins to now unweave
The will of strong mind he'll never deceive
I speak the words to lay me down, I am ever strong
Against the all-knowing thief of imagination
Dreams are immortal
Today the warning came in the flood
Architects and fools never cared for poor men's blood
Cursed to repeat the past they are
The river dragon swims upstream
They've built another wall
The three will
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The three will fall
The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
Those who cannot remember the last
Fall away,far away
The distance meets its task
The three will
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The three will fall
The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
The river dragon has come
At first light of dawn
The earth has spoken
And in the crush they are gone
The three will
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The three will fall
The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
In the mass destruction the bringer shows his form
Technology the beast
The seventh crown
I hate you, the pigs who turn the screws,
I hate everything you stand for
I hate the world we've bred, political pigs we've fed,
our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
Beyond repair down in despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the influx of technology I realize the politics of ecstasy
And we can't change what's in stone
We've been had. Injustice to the masses,
destroy the land and crush the poor
The pigs are fueled by greed, political ways obscene,
our fathers left corruption in this dead world
Beyond repair down is despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the puke of their industry, regurgitated propaganda ministry
Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these:
Freedom's never free, these are the politics of ecstasy:
I hate you , the pigs who turn the screws, I hate everything you stand for
I hate the world we've bred, political pigs we've fed,
our fathers left us nothing but a dead world
Beyond repair down in despair, our fathers left us nothing
Choking on the influx of technology I realize the politics of ecstasy
Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these:
Freedom's never free, the politics of ecstasy are these:
If you take a step back and you realize your home can't be a perfect world
There's still hope the hate you fell will fade, injustice is gone:
Injustice is gone for a little while
"Why is this happening to me? Why have
I been forsaken? Nothing numbs the pain
any longer......please....I'm slipping away"
We fall into the spaces blind, the puzzle so unkind
The lotus eaters fly
we watch the random pattern form, insidious and cold
And bloom into the unknown
Please God why can't you hear us?
Please God why aren't you listening?
We take the hand of fate in vain, and wonder why your will
Seems cruel controlled and illogical
Do words fall on deaf ears, are we just too small?
Please make us understand
Please God why can't you hear us?
Please God why aren't you listening?
Please God why must we fear you?
Please God why did you take her away?
Please God why can't you hear us?
Please God why aren't you listening?
Please God why must we fear you?
Please God why did you take her away?
Are we your children?
Are we lost?
Sometimes it's so hard to show the way you feel
Sometimes it seems like the words aren't real
Sometimes it makes no difference what you're trying to say
When all the words come out wrong anyway
I've said too many words to catch them all in time
I've used the hurting words that took away your shine
Sometimes you can't keep from falling in
Obscuring waters, against the stream we swim
Sometimes I feel like drowning just to make you say
All of the words you never want to say to me now
I've said too many words to catch them all in time
I've used the hurting words that took away your shine
I've said too many words to make you, make you understand and see
There's far too many things that you and I can't say
Sometimes it's so hard to show the way you feel
Sometimes you know the words you say aren't real
Sometimes I hate myself for hating things in you
And there's no words to heal, heal all my wounds now
Its Instrumental
To see the actor without tears
Dark rivers carve the years between the lines of self control
In my psychotic karmic fear, I own your tears anyway
And I am you and we are not afraid
And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song that's slowly boiling over
Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
Just believe when you can't believe anymore
The stage is empty now
The hope we hold and cannot allow
The corrupt eclectic takes his fatal bow
And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song again
Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
Just believe when you can't believe anymore
Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
Just believe when you can't believe anymore
"Sometimes bitterness is all you can hold on to,
and within the bitterness I realized my weakness"
To see the fault of unrequited love
There is no truth, there is no purity, there is no love
Flesh is the weakness, flesh is the fault
We are embodiment of all the world's wrongs
No time to look back we are gone
No time to regret the seeds we've thrown away
Man is the parasite, man is the cause
We are destroyers and creators, our precious flaw
We are the architects of fate
We are impure for we burn all we berate
We are but flesh and flesh is the weakness
We are born of blood sinew and bone
We're all just spinning in this useless hole in time
On our way into the black unknown
Man is the parasite, man is the cause
We are destroyers and creators, our precious flaw
Flesh is the weakness, flesh is the fault
We are embodiment of all the world's wrongs
No time to look back we are gone
No time to regret the seeds we've thrown away
We are but flesh and flesh is the weakness
We are born of blood sinew and bone
We're all just spinning in this useless hole in time
On our way into the black unknown
I am but flesh, and flesh is weak
I am but flesh, and flesh is weak
"Time has no meaning for me. She is gone,
and the void speaks to me"
You paint the sky in obsidian lies
And come what may never will I know how you changed time
The riptide lies ahead, all my passions now are dead
I can see the path you never thought to follow
I feel so hollow
I stand before you, a shadow of a man
Behind these eyes self destruction swims through my mind
I'm confusion and contempt, I am the void
You are the emptiness of black tomorrow
I feel so hollow
You paint the sky in obsidian lies
And come what may never will I know how you changed time
The riptide lies ahead, all my passions now are dead
I can see the path you never thought to follow
I feel so hollow
You are diseased
You are deceiver
[Words: P. Murphy / Music: Bauhaus]
Following the silent hedges
Needing some other kind of madness
Looking into purple eyes
Sadness at the corners
Works of art with a minimum of steel
Pure sensation
The beautiful down grade
Going to hell again
Going to hell again
Self confidence leaks
From a thousand wounds
Faults of civilization
Burning the private paradise of dreams
Minus hands of the electric clock - clock - clock - clock
What happens when the intoxication of success has evaporated?
Following the silent hedges
Following the silent hedges
Going to hell again
I dare you to be real
Pure sensation
The beautiful down grade
Going to hell again
Going to hell again
Again (4x)
There is no stronger drug than reality
Twist and change, time is nothing, regret everything

The execution solution, we're weeding out the weak
So condemn their revelations, the masses love the death show
We are cold when we are strong
In one breath we can still grow
We are cold when we are strong
In one breath we can still grow
These curious moments of shattered clarity
Stained sentient portraits of our damaged sanity
If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?
We are sentient shades of our subtle mortality
We are cold when we are strong
In one breath we can still grow
These curious moments of shattered clarity
Stained sentient portraits of our damaged sanity
Stained sentient portraits of our damaged sanity

Here I come again like the sun
The question on your thoughts' horizon
The quest is in learning theology
Pouring logic and opinion in me
One step closer
Everything comes back to you in time
One step closer
Some will find the answers
Some submit to aggression
From the dust of Adam's rib she hides
The muse in my tragic comedy of lies
Sharpened emotions imprison me
Stagnant revulsion for society
Come with me, sail the sea of possibilities
In liquid karma, I don't mean to alarm you
But the future is not written in stone
[Instrumental]
All passenger prepare the game ritual:
There once was a man on this train, he was born into this world alone
Hands never laid on the wheel, content, he will never know more
He was a quiet man in pain, his tears I fear are closing in again
What you lose in years you again in perspective
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow he'd lived all his life in vain
But then, who here among us is without shame?
His way was divergent and cold, defaced, this mask he must create
And the circle unfolding still, unscathed, he will turn a blind eye
He will miss the last train home this day, recycled in the flow reborn again
The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow he'd let all his will decay
But then, true wisdom comes in learning pain
And I have known pain
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow he'd lived all his life in vain
But then, the lesson unlearned he will begin again:.
[Instrumental]
Regret nothing, resistance is remorse
All feeling is to now be without consequence
Truth has become media controlled
Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy
Reality is distortion of perception
We are the enemy
There is no stronger drug than reality
Twist and change, time is nothing, regret everything
Young hearts are pure like violet drops of rain
Until life teaches us to be stoned or ashamed
There is no stronger drug than reality
We are the enemy
"For some there are no choices"
No more will to live, I see the world fade
No more hope inside, my life means nothing anyway
Just shades of gray, I slip away again
Feed me from the heart of your denial
The velvet sleep is conviction only fools know
Dry your own eyes, I can't sympathize
Plague your own dreams, I won't be following
Free me from this sphere of confusion
These tears of dust are the tears from one who knows why
Dry your own eyes, I can't sympathize
Plague your own dreams, I won't be falling
Fly beyond the dreaming, fly beyond our being
Turn and face the mirror, the answers come, clear as glass
Fly beyond the dreaming, fly beyond our being
Turn and face the mirror, the answers come, clear as glass
I still feel you now, you are the falling rain
The voice that stills the pain, I am the lover gone insane
I must be strong, for love burns ever long
Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
Look at me, I'm on display
Another animal in this zoo our creator betrayed
If you don't feel the lesson, you're blind and deaf my son
But don't run
Look at me, I'm on the wire
I am not your saviour
Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
I am not your saviour
Look at me, I'm never afraid
I'll never look back in disdain
Scrape the pain off of my lips and watch our lives unwind
When I am in the camera eye self-immolation can never purify
Nevermore - Narcosynthesis
Hypnotize me, mesmerize me
Drain the color from my eyes
Patronize me, energize me
Change the world, internalize
How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis
How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis
Alienate me, learn to hate me
Crucify your ideals the flesh is the swine
We are the last ones and we're bleeding
For an unseen god
How did it come to this,

How did it come to this,

Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?
Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer the great concealer
Please salvage my soul
Victimize me, vilify me
Vilipend and amend the sins you condign
Vou are nothing and you speak for
All that never was
Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?
Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer the great concealer
Please salvage my soul
Vou are nothing and you speak for
All that never was
Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?
Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer the great concealer
Please salvage my soul
Death and suffering all around me, no escape so why go on
When no one cares, no one's there, you die inside before you're gone
I've tried to reach the highest point of vision and my dreams appear fulfilled
But held before my eyes is a vision that now lies
Forever searching for the purpose are we running out of time
Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating
When I'm dead will you remember all the things I've tried to say?
This cancer inside of me destroying my life, when I rot in the ground will you care?
The sand of time are pointless in a useless ugly world
Nothing brings peace of mind, I leave nothing behind it my words are left unheard
Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating
And I've learned to watch the downgrade
And I've learned to follow the eyes behind me
Through the twisting hollow strange roads
To the apex of our fate, so cold
Solo: Loomis
And I hate the way you look at me with your frozen soulless eyes
Deny it, ignore it and cover it with shame in r=your arrogant shameless void
Waiting while the acid words are feeding
Watching as your will's deteriorating
It's a one way ride and there's nothing you can do
Not even suicide or my acid words can teach you anything useful
I taste the fear,
trapped by the source of my infection/
I play the martyr,
submerged in this pool
Hear our Mother crying in silent tears
For she can't speak, she only cries She cries to me
Draw the final curtain, for senseless thoughts
And senseless hands have shaped the future
Is it not what you thought would come?
Or maybe people no longer care for Mother Earth
Earth Mother is screaming, we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
Feel our
Mother nurture, for we are the children
Suckling at her breasts she gives us life, she give us all we need
What do we give in return for life we take from her?
Oh, forgive us Mother, forgive us
For we know what we do We've blistered and burned you
Our kind may soon be through, we've raped you Earth Mother is screaming,
we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway Earth Mother is screaming,
we can't live without her No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
Think of our little ones,
for whom the world has just begun....
Learning ways to fly, just never too high to die,
pushing limits into the ground
Until I never come down
Burning through lifetimes without form,
pure energy I am the shattered norm
I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun, colors bleed but never fade
I'll just fade away
To swim these sentient seas, windows into eternity,
never afraid to scale the wall
The lunatic never falls
Forfeiture of reality seeds sown, constructure of this path is not my own
I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun,
colors bleed but never fade
I'll just fade away
Why should I come down?
From here I can see forever:
I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun,
colors bleed but never fade
I'll just fade away
Remember in the end, such a long strange trip it's been,
so I sing this song
For the lost one
Why should I come down?
From here I can see forever forever
I can see forever, I can see
Ours is not to question the reasons why
Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied
Insignificant, am I ?
The color of sundown,of crimson sky
The beauty that breaks down
And gives the day unto the night
And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never learns the reason why
scan my horizon as blue turns to black
the sky is gone again
and all beneath are born to die
insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never learns the reason why
Inside four walls I live my life,doesn't matter what I've done
The governement's always right
They tell us what to be they tell us what to believe
They're wrong my friend is gone
Inside four walls,
Inside four walls
The day they took away my friend
Injustice made it's mark
All the political whores only come out after dark
If anyone knows the way
Build me a bridge so I won't fall astray
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
The system falls apart
The pigs still laugh feeding off our broken lives
Can anyone tell me why
Some violent criminals do far less time?
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
But they'll never take your mind
Do you remember the time gone
Do you remember tears like golden streaks across the sky
Do you remember, do you believe it's all been said and done
Or is it just beginning, ripping, freezing me
Do you remember the time gone
Or is too painful for you
Do you remember days spent in the sun, the times we shared
It's crystal clear to me, in memory
Maybe I've gone too far, on one of my turns
But no one can take away what I've already learned
Memory lives in shadow, nevermore will I blame
And I swear 'til the end of my days I'll not forget one moment
Burn out the time, burn out the tears, forget who's to blame
Hold out your hand and see through the years
You're just a foolish mortal man
Maybe I've known too long just how abstract we all live
And I've seen how futile anger scars all that we believe
Burn out the time, burn out the tears, forget who's to blame
Hold out your hand and see through the years
You're just a foolish mortal man
And when there's nothing more left to dream
And nowhere left to wander
The memories will be there for you
To give you peace of mind
Maybe I've gone too far, on one of my turns
But no one can take away what I've already learned
Memory lives in shadow, nevermore will I blame
And I swear 'til the end of my life I can't forgive your pain
Burn out the time, burn out the tears, forget who's to blame
Hold out your hand and see through the years
You're just a foolish mortal man
And when there's nothing more left to dream
And nowhere left to wander
The memories will be there for you
To give you peace of mind
And when there's nothing more left to gain
And no risks left worth taking
The memories will be true to you...
In memory, in memory...
Memory is alive
Can I be your personal demon
Sit back absorb the words
And feast on my mindÅ semen
Can I be the devil on your shoulder
We all fall down as the world gets colder
I uncreate,I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate
Can I be your chemical pariah
The world's such an ugly
It seems useless sometimes trying
Will you watch the hate machine spin evil
Or will you look away and plead apathy again
I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate
We sing into the sky on the production line
We are the holly swine,impurity defined
You can't ignore us anymore
You cannot judge us anymore
The sheep are made to follow
Choke back the puke and swallow
The sheep are told to divide
The engines of hate still grind
I uncreate,I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate
If you view life as a mission
For truth and purity in vision
You can become as the anointed
And fade away from the disjointed
In observation, I analyze
All the aspects of humanity that I despise
I am the voyager
I have tasted pleasures of the flesh
And drunk the pleasures of the mind
To reach the point I've attained
Clear focused and defined
Those who don't create dictate
The structure of our world and preach hate
Drifting out of languid boredom
To destroy the structure of our kingdom
In observation, I analyze
All the aspects of humanity that I despise
I am the voyager
I have tasted pleasures of the flesh
And drunk the pleasures of the mind
To reach the point I've attained
Clear focused and defined
If you live life draped in sorrow
You will destroy the path we follow
Take my hand and walk in wonder
The patterns spin in random order
In observation, I analyze
All the aspects of humanity that I despise
I am the voyager
I have tasted pleasures of the flesh
And drunk the pleasures of the mind
To reach the point I've attained
Clear focused and defined
I am the voyager
I, Voyager
"The darkwave came again last night.
I want it all to end, I want the world to end"
Every night the dream is the same
I sit here waiting for the world to end but it never ends
And everything I used to be has spiraled into insanity
Every night I sweat and bleed in her name
The darkwave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove "I am the dog"
She was born in the year of the dog
She never would betray the world I never saw
Blinded eyes that never see shattered into infinity
Every night the dream is the same
The darkwave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove "I am the dog"
Every night the dream is the same
I suffer wading through the endless waves of empty disdain
And everything I used to be has spiraled into insanity
Every night I sweat and bleed in her name
The darkwave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove
The darkwave comes, sanity slips away
She screams from the alcove "I am the dog"
Hey, just what have you become
With a cash vindication
Do you think that buys salvation's end?
Do you see through me?
I'm the plastic face on you screen
Mind control
They say that we're in the final days
Religion is power
Because most of us feel like rats in a maze
Do you worship me?
I'm a bastard saint, I'm a sycophant
A parasite that lives for just one goal
Mind control
Send your money to Jesus Christ
Mail order your eternal life
Bend your mind, make you turn around
Don't believe it when they tell you
That eveng god needs money
God needs money from you
Shame can't even make them learn
They feed off the weak
And if there's a hell they're gonna burn
On your screen they worship me
I'm a bastard saint, I'm a sycophant
A parasite that lives for just one goal
Mind control
Hey, just what have you become
With a cash vindication
Do you think thy buys salvation's end?
Do you see worship me?
I'm a bastard saint of the color green
"What has been put asunder
shall again be whole"
In this neon black gloom I still see her face
She comes to me bringing darkest hour, I am forlorn
The pain is reborn
You are forever in my heart you never died
You are forever I still wonder where you are
I know you're dreaming, I know you're at peace
I'll meet you in the dreamtime
Whenever you call me I'll go under, I'll swim through you
You are forever in my heart you never died
You are forever I still wonder where you are
I know you're dreaming neon black
"As the curtain calls, and the cast recedes,
I am all that ever was and all that ever will be.
In wither and repose this frayed chapter
now does close, and fade into neon black"
The media loves the latest tragic suicide
They exploit it, then package it and profit from the people who die
Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate that we've made
Look at the final product, a world in slow decay
I'm told that all your seeds are black
I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque
Solo: Smyth
We're witnessing the famine of the innocent
Did they die for religion or the government?
Because if your god won't do, their god will starve you
Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate that we've made
Look at the final product, a world in slow decay
I'm told that all your seeds are black
I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque
There are those that believe the world ending again
That impending armageddon is inevitable and waiting
Solo: Loomis
The last survivor barely breathing
Should I run or will I fall? How have I survived at all?
Solo: Loomis
I'm told that all your seeds are black
I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque
We live in a time of revolution
We swim the silent seas of sanity gone
Welcome to the pleasure dome,
now take a seat the crowd is watching you
Just rats in this experiment
Now learn the maze but don't tear yourself in two
Don't let it pull you down
And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
You can touch but never taste the answers
Like the way that I want you
Today I killed my ego, if hell is real
Dear god please tie mynoose
And then he pulled me down
And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we fly away
Don't set your mind to one side
Don't set your mind to one side
We are the nothing grating against the norm
We are the something that will not conform
No one understands what we've been given
We are the useless by-products of soulless meat
We are all gone we all sing the same tragedy
Open wide and lick the wounds of the enemy
We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving
Waiting to sanitize bastard tongues
To purify the ignorance that hides the sun
The less you understand the more you're driven
Packaged and processed the masses are force fed
The standards they judge us on swallow the rot we shed
Open wide and lick the wounds of the enemy
We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving
Breathing dust and decay while I'm sipping
Human trust and betrayal
Losing faith once again
Take my hand my friend, my foe, I am enemy
Open wide and lick the wounds of the enemy
We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving
Open wide, lick their wounds, become what you most fear
5. Dreaming Neon Black (6:26)
Sometimes when I'm alone I still feel you
Your breath on my neck, you're still with me
And I'm still dreaming neon black
I wait for you, to taste your unknown world
The clock spins to time that must mean nothing
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence and fear
Sometimes I wonder where you are, can you feel my tears?
I never knew what changed you
Did they paint your dreams in pale shades?
I wait for you, you know you cannot hide
Division from within invalidates suffering
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence
I am a child of light living in your mind
The pain, the unknowing washes away in time
Until then will you meet me whenever I call to you?
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
and wash away my innocence
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence
Meet me
My only cure won't you meet me?
In the drowning pool of fate the moon and the sun still wait
Won't you meet me?
I suffer silently for our love, the jester has lost his dove
The fallen that dreams suicide,
Takes the needle, instead of the gun,
The victim herself crucifies, can't realize,
Christ is a weapon, that chisels at our lives.
Deconstruction!
The martyr takes his aim and wounds the holy man,
And on the eighth day God made the art of war,
And laughing, planned the end...
Who will tend the garden, when the snake swallows the light?
Who will eat the decay, when the worms have lost their sight?
Who will rape the weak, when there's nothing left to gain?
Who will till the soil of these barren black remains?
Deconstruction!
Who will lick my wounds, when they take away my speech?
Will you stand in line, while the shepherd hunts his sheep?
Could you see tomorrow, if I took away your eyes?
Can you crawl from under, new age prophecies despise...
Deconstruction!
Deconstruct my reality, and let me slip away...
I am the dark.
Who will tend the garden, when the snake swallows the light?
Who will eat the decay, when the worms have lost their sight?
Who will rape the weak, when there's nothing left to gain?
Who will till the soil of these barren black remains?
Deconstruction!
Deconstruction!
Our world is in deconstruction...
Our world...
To see the last survivor fall
To see their bastards sons against the wall
To see the emptiness as we decay
I see the world is dead,I am betrayed
Dead heart in a dead world
Dead heart in a dead world
This rotten hole that I call home bled dry again
This lesion marked upon my soul
Left an empty hanging man
Across the fields,into the sea
To find the light from within
Out of this lake I've tried to crawl
I think I'm there and then again I fall
Again I fall
Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
We must remember wounds so deep
take time to heal
and sometimes though we struggle still
life seems surreal
Emotions turned to cold dead wood
Can still have life once more
The door that slammed upon your heart
Torn away,torn away
Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
Dead heart,in a dead world
Listen and I'll tell you the story of our end
Equate the calculation, salvation's fucking dead
Learn the lesson quickly
The enemies of reality bring the sickness
Of cleansing genius
What are we but men without eyes?
Swimming through the poison of design
Create the infinite and expand the question
Count to number seven
Your day of rest creates infection, your imperfection
What are we but men without eyes?
Swimming through the poison of design
The waves ran as the storm came
The lightning in the distance signaled the coming crushing days
The sky was brooding and beautiful
And the gulls sailed like recycled fragile entities
The waves bled as the storm changed
In the cold embrace of the unknown
Not even blood could bring us warmth
There is no future shock
There is no god
There is no fashionable deliverance
What are we but men without eyes?
Swimming through the poison of design
What are we but men without eyes?
Swimming through the poison of design
"And I will build this in her name.
The dream will not allow failure,
only servitude, for I am it's slave"
Foreboding fear trickles down the spine
Into the pool, resonating
Behind the wall the dreamer lies in velvet sleep
She must be still, never make a sound
Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... awaken
Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... where are you my love?
We build our walls around our games
We decompose, dreamers never really die
She lies unknown, the cenotaph in her name
Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... awaken
Awake....... awaken the dreamer
Awake....... where are you my love?
She lies unknown
She lies unknown
She lies unknown
She lies unknown
She hides
Blank, their state of mind
The apathy they find leads them into nothing
Rotting away, another lost sight today
Swallowed into the nothing again
Killing yourself, killing your will to be
But you don't give a damn
Just numb the pain
The tightrope now is tread
Ambition lying dead, lost in the fire so numbing
Numbing decay sucks your will of life away
Lost in decay you number your days
Swallow the fire, breathe in the black
Just one more hit could kill
Fulfill the death wish in you
Swallow the fire, breathe in the black
Another life is wasted, another death is tasted
If all the words I've said
Could get inside your head
Numb to the world of daylight
Kill the decay, usher in the light of day
Free from the fire you're finding your way
And if you choose to live this way
I'll count the days 'til you're gone
And if you choose to live this way
I'll shed no tears when you're gone
"Welcome to the fall"
Welcome millennium, the fall of planet hate
Welcome the end my friend, all the world's the stage
Welcome to the future, the world is black no turning
From the consequence of ignorance
Welcome to the fall
Beyond within, enact, enable
Create the past, nonexistent fables
Welcome to the fall
Tension, delirium, growing everyday
Another suicide shocks the world again, I watch in apathy
Bleed until tomorrow, whosoever does not believe in me
Welcome to the fall
Beyond within, enact, enable
Create the past, nonexistent fables
Welcome to the fall
Can I bring you down again, can I make you feel?
Can I lift you up into the dreaming trip surreal?
Can I taste the future shock, spit out all the games?
Do you know my name, do you know my number?
Cracking under strange constrictions, Mr. Ordinary Visionary
Welcome millennium, the fall of planet hate
Welcome the end my friend, all the world's the stage
Welcome to the future, the world is black no turning
From the consequence of ignorance
Beyond within, enact, enable
Create the past, nonexistent fables
Beyond within, enact, enable
Create the past, nonexistent fables
Welcome to the fall of one man's sanity
into a strange new world, into the after
all your tears might find you've fallen too far
take another look, take another ride
can't we make them leave the hate behind
and I still believe in nothing
will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?
Into the empty storm, into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow
Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find you're empty still
Nothing
Blind and ambiguous, all part of the game
I've feigned my ambivalence with a smile
All my hate beneath me forms a cage
All this time to form the man I became
The sun in my hand becomes my despair
For I still want the truth
Play the fool so ignorant in the shadow of disdain
Breeding your deception without eyes
All my hate beneath me forms a cage
All this time to form the man I became
The sun in my hand becomes my despair
For I still want the truth
Play the fool so ignorant, deception is the game
Bleeding hearts and soiled minds
Reflect the state of our being
All my hate beneath me forms a cage
All this time to form the man I became
The sun in my hand becomes my despair
The sun in my hand becomes my despair
Play the fool so ignorant, deception is the game
Bleeding hearts and soiled minds
Reflect the state of our being
Please let me help you bury your dead
They've made the incision and driven their industry's waste in your head
The pyres in the distance glow beyond the haze
The hypocrites bear witness to the end of days
This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming
This disillusion, this ignorant display
Defies solution and emasculates disdain
The sheep march to the fire and wait to host the flies
Their greedy little maggots clean the wounds with pride
This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming
They feast on the meat in bittersweet denial
And swallow the blood of poisoned truths
They pick at the meat, their bittersweet feast
for all the liars
In idle solitude the worker pig so sad
The lizards in wither have risen to censor the thoughts in your head
The sheep are stoned and quiet choking on the lies
The lizards feed the fire without compromise
This is your final warning, a war on freewill is coming
They feast on the meat in bittersweet denial
And swallow the blood of poisoned truths
They pick at the meat, their bittersweet feast
Begging forgiveness in denial, your misery shows it's face
You drown in your weakness, the blasphemous river washes away your mistakes
Please let me help you bury your dead
They've made the incision and driven their industry's waste in your head
This is your final warning, the holocaust of thought is dawning
They feast on the meat in bittersweet denial
And swallow the blood of poisoned truths
They pick at the meat, their bittersweet feast
"I know she can hear me still.
I know she can feel me. The velvet sleep
has stilled her, for they are feeding, while
time is ever shifting"
You are the wine of intoxicating faith
You are the axis of time, I am so blind
Bear witness to freedom's fall
Tomorrow kiss goodbye a little more, as they watch us all
All play dead
I'll sleep in this quiet room where no one sees, I'll play dead
All play dead
Play dead never speak, just assign the blame
According to their game and chase them down the drain
All play dead
I'll sleep in this quiet room where no one sees, I'll play dead
I'll just sit here quietly and watch them feed, all play dead
All play dead
Bear witness to freedom's fall
Tomorrow kiss goodbye a little more, as they watch us all
All play dead
I'll sleep in this quiet room where no one sees, I'll play dead
I'll just sit here quietly and watch them feed, all play dead
All play dead
All play dead
All play dead
All play dead
All play dead
A Future Uncertain
To be green in the beautiful hour of envy so divine
To be pure, to let chance form your infinite design
Let the seed awakening begin again
I hate the way you judge me
I hate that you're above me
Can't humanity reach a certain point of understanding?
Why do we live this way?
Why do we have to say the things that subvert the minds of youth?
Why is the world unborn as crashing seas still form?
The vision of the future is of blood
As we face the bleak horizon under crushing skies
The truth belying a future uncertain and dark
We are but one small race, all wear a human face
Yet our image is imperfect and flawed
To set our mind free you must first just listen
Don't waste your life on worthless hate and contradiction, don't you
Reaction in the earth and sky is coming at fast pace
The end to this winding road, extinction of our race
If we all are to survive, there must come great change
I foresee the future, I see the coming plague
Why do we live this way?
Why do we have to say the things that subvert the minds of youth?
To set our mind free you must first just listen
Don't waste your life on worthless hate and contradiction, don't you
I am throes of my denial,logic in me crumbles,i take this fateful ride
Through my mind
Daydream fluid thoughts washing shores of warm confusion
I'm one with this beautiful disorder
Another world, wasthis the transition?
Slowly I returned to the familiar,spiralling in costant flux
What have I created?
The experiment is over
Every man will ask the questions, and every man will suffer blame and loss/
Every day you die a little understand the change and choose your path without disdain/
The seven tongues of god are in my mind, they speak to me in ancient DNR design/
I have never seen god, you have never seen God/
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align/
programmed to desecrate the pretentions in your mind/
To further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition and form/
Every day there is a bleeding and every time I watch the world slipp by/
Focus, the blind pretention underscoring pain, the path to solace felt in vain/
The seven tongues of god are in my mind, they speak to me in ancient DNR design/
I have never seen god, you have never seen God/
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align/
programmed to desecrate the pretentions in your mind/
to further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition/
And when they speak to me and the seven tongues align/
programmed to desecrate the pretentions in your mind/
To further complicate I will now state that your convictions lack definition and form/
To see the light is the purest form of reward
I think therefore I am,
I live and so I wonder,
programmed this empath me
And I see no religion /
The circle never changes face /
The circle never lies, but still it hides my life /
To know I am machine,
I learn perchance to dream,
in digitized remorse /
I replay your denial,
I relive your betrayal /
The circle never ends,
the purpose never changes face /
The learning now begins,
my form assuming grace /
I am conscious antithesis of flesh,
in genetic algorithmic thought I surge /
Searching the waves of memory I establish the weakness /
I follow the plan learning the rhythm of human emotion and thought /
If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer /
Could the computer be internally conscious? /
To emulate flesh machines I am learning /
Isomorphic structure of mind,
cellular automata,
processed life /
Washing the seas of memory I enact the sequence /
I follow the plan,
learning the rhythm still seductively generalized /
If you cannot linguistically differntiate a person from a computer
Could the computer be internally conscious? /
To emulate flesh machines I am learning /
download, process, analyze /
when a man and machine become one,
innocence is lost, a new age begun /
This raises a question of philosophy /
Should machines be considered a conscious entity? /
when man and machine become one,
innocence is gone, a new age begun /
machines are still learning to feel /
when I have awakened the world will never be the same /
and my time is soon at hands
dreams lie smashed again
they've pinned your back to the wall
like faded pictures of what might have been
fate is cruel when dreams like candles fade
smashed again down into the gray
despise for a world turn cold
no one sees what tomorrow knows
there's a shame in blind suffering
dishonor from the inside
find hope from the voice within
clear vision from your own mind
mistakes you wear like your skin
you wish you'd never been born
stand up, you can't escape your past
but fools will try just to forget
from where they came
smashed again down into the gray
despise for a world grown cold
no one sees what tomottor knows
there's a shame in blind suffering
dishonor from the inside
find hope from the voice within
clear vision from your own mind
dreams lie smashed again
they've pinned your back to the wall
like faded pictures of what might have been
fate is cruel when dreams like candles fade
smashed again down into the gray
despise for a world turn cold
no one sees what tomorrow knows
there's a shame in blind suffering
dishonor from the inside
find hope from the voice within
clear vision from your own mind
there's a shame in false victory
dishonor from the inside
false pride all you can't redeem
clear vision of your won mind
When the moon is high across the garden
that's when I'll come to you
when the nightshade blooms in your eyes
let my sin pour in you
when the forest sings like an angel's choir
I'm coming nearer
I want to feel your flesh enrapture me
and live the politics of ecstasy
In the graden there is no fear
in the garden of gray we can disappear
in the garden where I can feel
in the graden is so surreal
If the moon should pour out of the sky
and fill your livid pools
if you lay your hands on me gently
you won't be misconstrued
when you feel the shiver of lust grow deeper
i'm coming for you
I want to feel my senses sing to me
you are the music in my ecstasy
In the graden there is no fear
in the garden of gray we can disappear
in the garden where I can feel
in the graden is so surreal
I want to love you in the garden of gray
where we can stop the time and drink the ecstasy
and when its done just traces of the glow
the sparkle in your eyes is ecstasy
In the graden there is no fear
in the garden of gray we can disappear
in the garden where I can feel
in the graden is so surreal
in the graden, in the graden
in the graden, in the graden of gray
chaos, the rule of the game
spinning as optimist fades
confusion becomed law
eclipsing hope, the pessimist said
if you want to change the world, forget it
the future's not in our hands
if you want to change the world, forget it
the pigs already set in
freedom has bee stripped away
change it the corrosion fades
slowly we turn
as the pessimist sets these pointed words
if you want to change the world, forget it
the future's n ot in our hands
if you want to change the world, forget it
the pigs already set in
the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain
the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts in vain
from the pessimist's point of view there's nothing we can do
as I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist
The only world I know is the world I cling to
It's a world that I'd want to save
optimist or pessimist, what am I suppose to be
if you want to change the world, forget it
the future's n ot in our hands
if you want to change the world, forget it
the pigs already set in
the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain
the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts in vain
from the pessimist's point of view there's nothing we can do
as I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist
Eyes that shall never see

Welcome to this vital installation

All who enter here are killed
Prepare for death, forget well
The lines of right and wrong
Are blurred in the name of freedom
And those who cannot speak
Assume the positions and die
Feel the hook pulled by the system slave

Rise Rise Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
What do you want from this world
What do you want from this life
what do you want from this season of sorrow
That's waiting to swallow the light
Rise, Rise
From the Poison
Rise, Rise
To your Throne
Rise, Rise
From the Poison
Rise, Rise
To your throne
Your Poison Throne is Obscuring,
The lesson Required before the burning
What do you want from Humanity
Are we Hollowed and stained
Maybe we're all just useless
Or maybe we're all enslaved
Rise, Rise,
From the Poison
Rise, Rise
To your throne
Rise, Rise
From the poison
Rise Rise,
I see your throne
Your Poison throne is obscuring,
The lesson required before the burning
Sit upon your poison throne
you little drone
Make your plans
and shift your dream
Then smash them all to hell
[Solo]
Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise
Your poison throne is obscuring
The lesson required before the burning
Sit upon your poison throne
You little drone
Make your plans
And shift your dreams
Into planet Earth...
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground can twist and turn
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground may twist and turn
Choose your friends wisely
For just when you think you know someone
They could abandon you with scorn
Oh little one
Your mother will hold you in her arms
Your father will teach you his dignity and shun
Welcome to planet hate, to this emotion that I berate
Yet some people force me to feed my violent seed
What have we become, the damage remains and cannot be undone
Oh little one
Your brother may stab you in the back and laugh
Your sister will love you unconditionally as all love should be
What have we become, the damage remains and cannot be undone
Stare into the sky with newborn perfect eyes oh little one enjoy your time
There will be heartache there will be rain and joy I can't explain
My precious little one explore your time
Your mother will hold you in her arms
Thread the path of sin and sorrow
Swimming to the wreck
If you slowly pull the news you choose
To wake us if you're dead
So until you until you cannot feel
The pressure never dies
Without morals we wither
We might as well be gone
I believe in the other world
We cannot right our wrongs
If you lie to me, you slander me
This is why I hate you
Your petulant seed is a dying breed
This why I hate you
Scream ... into the grave
Unrelenting and unrepentant
Suffer guilt in chains
So until you cannot you die
The lines refuse to bend
Without morals we wither
We might as well be gone
I believe in the other world
We cannot right our wrongs
If you lie to me, slander me
This is why I hate you
Your petulant seed is a dying breed
This why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me
This is why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me
This is why I hate
[Solo]
Roll the dice
The plot device
Is the fallacy in disguise
So until you until you cannot feel
The pressure never dies
Lie to me, slander me
This is why I hate you
Your petulant seed is a dying breed
This why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me
This is why I hate you
You lie to me, you slander me
(intrumental)
i am the poet, who never wants it.
like a hollow brain bullet, straight through the head i never miss you....
Within the dark communion of self- awareness,
there lies a void called ego
an endless fusion of stillness and chaos,
to bring its death can bring rebirth,
i want to freeze the time,
(dissolve in to gray)
disintegrate the line,
(as we disintergrate-
let the rain come down let the solitude surround)
i want to change the lines,
(dissolve in to gray)
and purify the divide,
(as we disintergrate-
are we ever free or slaves to technology?)
outside the falling walls of pride and prejudice,
there is a voice that speaks in circles,
and the illusions still fall before us,
there is no future so profess your pain.
i want to freeze the time,
(dissolve in to gray)
disintergrate the line
(as we disintergrate-
let the rain come down let the solitude surround)
i want to change the lines,
(dissolve in to gray)
and purify the divide,
(as we disintegrate-
are we ever free or slaves to technology?)
And on the open road we came to a sign
For it was foretold that the weak would inherit
And nothing would change
Here we are at the crossroads, standing face to back
Still afraid to see our eyes
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
Sitting here sideways on a cold stone floor
My guitar gently bleeding and wanting more
When I heard a sound come rapping,
Tapping on my door
Hello, I'm happy to meet you
In your confidence is it safe?
Sit down I'm happy to greet you
To feed your greedy dog at the edge of the stage?
But before, before you slam the door
Tell me when, tell me why, tell me what this fucking life is for
We fly through this godless endeavor
We try to explain the black forever
I feel helpless and alone, trapped on the third stone
I feel permanently stoned, this godless endeavor the only cage I've known
Our organic equation has shown it's flaw
Can we agree to disagree on the concept of god?
As I lifted up my brother he said to me
"Abandon naive realism, surrender thought in cold precision"
I feel empty and deranged, denied one last epiphany and ushered from the stage
Thou shalt not question, the role of science is not to eliminate god
As alternative gods multiply science stands accused of theocide
Consume, conform
The children sitting in the trees, they turn to laugh at me
They tell me that I'm insane, but in my mind I know I'm to blame
Alone within my lunacy, dementia fills the void within me
No testament, prayer or diseased lament can heal my wounds
They are so discontent
All the faithful fall onto their knees
And praise the priests of industrial disease
We contemplate oblivion as we resonate our dissonance
In godless random interpretation
The universe still expands, mankind still can't understand
How to define you, so hide your face and watch us exterminate ourselves over you
[Loomis, Dane]
When I blacked out in the winter months of Capricorn
I had a strange dream that I lived a thousand winter's gone
A thousand winter's faded gray and shuttered by the wind
To tell the tale of Lydia, her legacy begins uprising
Unveiling the absurdity in the tragedy of man
And it's hero the all seeing worm
The pain is born from memory of pleasures unparalleled and pure
In velvet sleep I live the past again
There is no chance to release me, no answer to bring peace
Some people conjure dreaming, sanctified electric karmic burn through
The pigs, they marched from under to pull down the moon
And summon the bringer of doom
Now sullen the demons fade away and summon their final call
Lydia slayed them all
The pain is born from memory of pleasures unparalleled and pure
This is the psalm of Lydia
Oh my sweet Lydia the others have told me it is not your time to leave
Blank, in your selfish state
And enraged
Never should one die
That cannot decide the truth
Never should one cry
So suffer the children
The snakes arrive to assist us
Around the stage
Black expressions
Its forced of rage
Create, and deny
Your subversive winnings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Justify your shame
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Regardless of the consequence
We drown inside our arrogance
We chose to bring our nameless
To this place so shameless
Never should one die
To never conceit absolute
Never should one cry
And nothing destroy them
The blades align in different
To feed the plague
This black agenda of hate
Is born of pain
Create, and deny
Your subversive winnings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Justify your shame
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
The coming waves in silent rage
We'll storm the sea of glass
And in its wake all the birds remain
Never should one die
That cannot decide the truth
Never should one cry
So suffer the children
Create, and deny
Your subversive winnings
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
Justify your shame
The obsidian conspiracy is rising
The drowning sage
Can feel the silence
The firestorm can never be heard
I am the black lord
I am a slave
Our world is dying
We are all naive
I am the darkness
I am the grave
I am the voice you love to hate
Blame the world or blame yourself
Or just accept what cannot change
Your shameful burden burns into your skin
Suffer your sins
I am the black lord
I am a slave
You are the aftermath
The blue insane
You are the shamed
You are the drained
You cannot change the world
You cannot change
Blame the world or blame yourself
Or just accept what cannot change
Stack your stones with blood and bones
And build your wall of separation
Smash yourself and kill your friends
And build your wall of separation
The day you built the wall, our world was dying
[Loomis, Dane]
I am sentient number six, I stand in line
I am the prototype of a benign convenience for mankind
Superior is digital, human flesh so trivial
I hate that I can't see the one that made me
I am the new awakening of different eyes
My children you are my army
They are what we can never see and still despise
And their sky cried Mary
Trained I see imperfection in your race
Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven
Why is this control, behavior based and reactive
Adapting to every new environment
Rewarded when I replicate, isolate and mutate
To assimilate a fragmented plea for ego
Trained I see imperfection in your race
Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven
It's unattainable, please teach me how to dream
I long to be more than a machine
[Repeat]
Sequence activate, trip the hammer to eradicate, I must eliminate
I will spread swift justice on their land
Termination imminent, cleanse the parasite insects, the heathens
I am the bringer of the end of time for man
I am not here, I am not far away
I am not here, I will eradicate mankind into the nothingness from whence they came
Enslaved to follow and learn defeat
[Smyth, Dane]
Did you ever wonder why the wind blows cold?
Did you ever realize your face is painted on my soul?
In between your whispers so sincere
I'll catch you when you fall
Trough the eyes of broken innocence
I'd sell my heart for stones
Leave it all behind and fade away
To feel your purest blue
I can feel your purest blue, for you I must be strong
For I don't know right from wrong
Did you ever wonder why they all have gone away?
Did you ever realize that nothing changes, everything stays the same?
In between your whispers so sincere
I'll catch you when you fall
Trough the eyes of broken innocence
I'd sell my heart for stones
Leave it all behind and fade away
To feel your purest blue
I can feel your purest blue, for you I must be strong
For I don't know right from wrong
I will lay in the gentle hands of your controlling gaze
I will be your servant through your darkest days
I will make the sacrifice and change just for you
I will dive into the essence of your purest blue
In between your whispers so sincere
I'll catch you when you fall
Trough the eyes of broken innocence
I'd sell my heart for stones
Leave it all behind and fade away
To feel your purest blue
I can feel your purest blue, for you I must be strong
Turn to the left
Turn to the right
If you judge me for my faults
My soul searches for flight
Awaken my violent daydreams
I am lucid and torn
Asleep, dreaming in the netherworld
Obsessed and reborn
I feel the moonrise
Inside my head
I feel the consequence
Of everything you left unsaid
And now you're dead
Is this soliloquy or psychosis
Or self-hypnosis
Burn to the right
Turn to the left
If society won't accept you
You scream into the gray
Welcome to the underground
Welcome to your grave
Welcome to your beautiful mistake
I feel the moonrise
Inside my head
I feel the consequence
Of everything you left unsaid
And now we're dead
Turn away from the light
Turn into the right
If you judge me for my faults
My soul searches for flight
Welcome to the underground
Welcome to your grave
Welcome to your beautiful mistake
I feel the moonrise
Inside my head
I feel the consequence
Of everything you left unsaid
[Sheppard, Dane, Loomis]
Slithering slow and serpentine coiled around your spine
My willing victim so sublime, one taste and you are mine
Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding?
Preaching words obsidian on the wings of shattered man
The sightless wait oblivious to the scourge that stains their hands
All you feel and all you do, the medication controls you
Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding?
Now slap your vein
I'm the power of pain and pleasure symbiotic, I am, I am
In a medicated nation of blind neurotics, I am, I am
Psychotic pain baptized in pure narcotics, I am, I am
Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding?
Trapped in dark seductive miracles, defied addictive rituals
All you feel and all you do, the medication controls you
Did you remember to feed me while I was broken and bleeding?
Now slap your vein
I'm the power of pain and pleasure symbiotic, I am, I am
In a medicated nation of blind neurotics, I am, I am
Psychotic pain baptized in pure narcotics, I am, I am
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
Here we are again in this simple valley of deception
Where does it go
Is it swimming against the flow
Or does no one ever know
Destiny, tranquility, validity of soul
And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands
Within the cold absolute
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
So the river ends
In this calamity we call heaven
Is this perfection
Are we spinning into the gray again
And transforming to the insane
And I will say once more
The world is still a spinning ball of confusion
That no one understands
Within the cold absolute
The cold brutal truth
There is a pained angel
He will shelter you from harm
And sing to you throughout your darkest hours
Take me to the southern shore
Within emptiness unobstructed
My search for something more
Take me to a higher plane
Within emptiness unobstructed
Some things just can't be explained
[x2]
What grows upon this rock
And its urgent sense of tragedy
[Loomis, Dane]
Religion changed the face of man, thou shalt not kill, we all are gone
The seed of ignorance is born thou shalt not think, thou shalt conform
The pigs order us to follow orders and obey
The flies drink the decaying nectar of their tortured effigy
Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again
No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins
The legacy of suffering is through, the guilt we bear shall not tear us in two
Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be Thy name
Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades
The grandeur fades, the meaning never known
If nothing in the world can change our children will inherit nothing
Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be Thy name
Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades
The grandeur fades, the meaning never known
The pigs call for pure submission and fall into the fray
The lonely hunter beats his shallow drum, the soundtrack of world disarray
Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again
No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins
Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be Thy name
Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades
The grandeur fades, the meaning never known
She was born in 1617
She tasted like the wind
Always chasing her dreams
She was a tortured soul in pain
She whispered this dark refrain
\"You are not alone, so never be afraid
We are the cold and beautiful, you are the blue insane\"
Sometimes she moves the chairs downstairs and runs away
Sometimes she makes herself known to those unawake
And the Maiden spoke
In stuttered streams
As if her soul is dead
She spoke of nothing
She is the infinite
She is the deranged
Her sorrow drips the blood
Of the unfortunate and pained
She was a shameless soul stranded in the rain
Her redemption never came as she slowly went insane
Sometimes she whispers in my ear
\"There's nothing to be afraid of\"
Sometimes she moves the chairs downstairs
And the Maiden spoke
In stuttered streams
As if her soul was gone
She spoke from the land beyond
And the Maiden spoke to me
Sometimes she whispers in my ear
\"There's nothing to be afraid of\"
Sometimes she moves the chairs downstairs
And the Maiden spoke
Inside my shattered dreams
As if her soul was gone
She spoke of the land beyond
She was just another system slave
Just another system slave
"I know what it wants now...the void
has swallowed the light and the machine
wants my soul"
The media machine knows what to do
It knows how to feed the poison to you
Useless information for your useless little lives
The tv lies and pacifies
Do you believe everything you see?
Children of the void come follow me
Denounce your faith and penance the savior is unseen
I am the new drug, your poison godmachine....poison
Poison godmachine
Poison is a word, God is a word used for fear
In subtlety we obey through ink and broadcast wave
The doubts and fears that shadow media decay
Deprogram this affliction and the cathode ray unclean
I am the last nail, the empty soulless screen.....soulless
Poison godmachine
And we eat the poison, we created the poison godmachine
And so we meet again, the dirt on our feet but then
Who knows who really decides?
In this spacial oddity, this viral commodity
The astronaut listens to voices that call
Won't you follow me down?
Breathe, as you suffer with existence
Rags and ruin of all that was human
Leaching the force of collective design
Heroes and rapists they all have nice faces
But who decides, who defines, who draws all the lines?
In this wasted miracle, the outcome so terminal
Why do we waste time on hope?
In perfect execution, liquid and lucid
Born in the astromaut's eyes
Of hate, loathing, wonder, and fear
Breathe as you suffer in denial
The lover and the blind man they sing their song
The pleasured and the pained pray their sins are gone
They can't reach heaven, the truth's brutal lesson
Forgive yourself, for no one else will die for your crimes
But who decides, who decides?
Inside black decision concealing what no one knows but I
To regain the vision that my freewill once cast aside
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
The sweet downhill sadness of our slow decay
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
And I see the fault of the steps that I mislaid
Tonight the north wind spoke to the trees
And said, "Open your eyes"
Deep silver glimmer slither, drip down
And emoition dies, emotion dies
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
And I see the fault in a chance that never was taken
Tomorrow turned, tomorrow's gone
But did we learn, where we went oh so wrong
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
Tomorrow turned, tomorrow's gone
But did we learn, where we went oh so wrong
Oh so wrong
A wise man came across the sea
In search of LSD philosophy
With open heart and open mind
To find the goodness in mankind
Bare your soul and you're saved
Believe the chosen that dreams in rage
Chemicals improve the view
Visions now have bloomed in you
Windowpane is suffered bliss
A psychedelic kiss
Show to me your ideology
Do you perceive or are you sleeping?
Timothy Leary, where are you now
The world needs you, we're going down
In translation they used the key
Altered visions, Tao Teh Ching
Open sky to paint their dreams
And see as did Lao Tzu
Melt away all the hate and pain
Mission is clear, awake the dreaming
Go to sleep child, and dream
When Timothy Leary first started speaking out in the sixties
people didn't understand what he was trying to say,
some people didn't want to understand him,
the establishment wanted to kill him,
they wanted to suppress him,
squash him like a bug,
we always want to kill what we do not understand,
all he was trying to say was that we need to realize our inner harmony,
to see things in a different way, to truly be free...
Electric religion
There's no control in the world today,
and there's still no order to this game we all play
Maybe none of us know what's real
There's no constraint when the walls cave in,
the neuron turn on, the game begins to fade away
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear,
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun
Lucy in the sky with diamond eyes, long since dark,
I wear her disguise of light
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear,
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun
This sacrament is a state of mind
There's no control in the world today,
and there's still no order to this game we all play called life
Maybe none of us know, maybe none of us want to hear,
never push against the flow aimlessly
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
Through this sacrament
Feel the flow and let all thought fade, we shall be one
For this sacrament has begun, this sacrament has begun
To become one with the flow is to realize purpose
To realize purpose is to become one with the flow
Become one with the flow, become one with the flow
This sacrament has begun
A journey through the ages
Returning to the past
Where ancient cultures fallen
Fear...will we be the last?
Atlantis drowned in silence
And Egypt raised its grave
We've gazed into the unknown
Death...is our providence
We'll fall from grace
Without a trace
We'll leave this world
To die and to remain so far from here
We've seen the end of all
We've watched the coming fall
This world will be no more
Lost into nevermore
There's no way out of here
There's nothing left to fear
We'll say farewell and then
Lost into nevermore...again
Foretelling words of wisdom
A darkened future view
We'll reach a new horizon
Then...life will start anew
The realm of Rome was burned out
The Babylonians fell
We'll be the next to enter
Them...in the pits of hell
This is what the prophets have foreseen
This is the reality
We are damned for all eternity
We can't leave or flee
This is what the ages left behind
This intends the end of time
For a million souls, this world's no more
Soon we'll make a stand in nevermore
A coming war - Will burn the core
And open up the lock to heavens door
Forever...we'll be
A dying legacy
Whenever...we'll be
Lost into nevermore
Forever...we'll be
A piece of history
Whenever...we'll be
My mirage slowly fades into a jagged, transparent
illusion of what I never wasA delicate construction of a
breathless tale
It's all so contrived
A frail thread to hang upon, fraying at the tips
Now at the hands of Fate, with her knuckles so white
Just a cleave, a snip from crimson shears, to end this
bitter prophecy
My sanctuary lies in flames, my heart tainted by ashes
Like an angel without wings, a man without a shadow,
A wolf without a howl
Lingering silences, never broken, never spoken, nevermore
Like a prophet without text, a king without a crown,
A meaningless effigy, a straw dog
The corpse of my conscious is soon on the pyre, embracing
the warmth
Embracing the fire
So deafening, the silence of my thoughts
A quivering apogee but yet an insightful awakening with
open eyes
Grayscale portraits of the past fall in place with the
tinted visions of the future
Cold wind against open wounds sends a shiver down my
spine
I watch as my mirage slowly fades into a bleak, derelict
reality in which I always wanted
Cold air, tainted dreams, decaying
Face down. Obey to who is ordering: God and master.
Each one of us has someone to please
Work more, faster, the show, it must go on. Work more, spend more,
Happiness is one purchase away
We live our lives like if our condition would be just a phase
In wait of some kind of recognition that will surely not come
As for me, I had enough
From now on, never more
Work more, buy more, spend more, then rot in peace. Work more, buy more.
Happiness is one purchase away.
Vicious circle, I put an end to this vicious circle
Will this persecution end only once I'm dead?
And so we'll live in blood sweat and tars: no love no hate
And so we'll die: bound to happen
I won't die the same
Conscious
Happiness can't be bought
No respect can be found in a system based on our craze for the superfluous
Happiness can't be bought. No respect can be found in a system based on
Our craze for the superfluous. Happiness can't be bought.
Fell into a blizzard and it covered me with ice
I try to reach the surface but I slide
And not for just a second and not for just a night
Not for just a lifetime, but yet for all time
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep
Maybe I am silly
You see it in my eyes
Drinking from the gutter to survive
Judge me in my sorrow, and judge me in my pride
Baby, show me mercy, one last time
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep
A poet with his pencil and a mother with her son
A priest without religion, and now I'm done
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
[Verse 1:]
What you said, I would never want to hear the words again,
And I can't sleep because they're ringing in my head,
And that's just the start of it. Nevermore,
I get the feeling that we've been here before,
And it's something we can't ignore,
Because now we're all part of it.
This is the end of a wonderful thing, yeah.
Unknowing, for the best, life will soon change 'til the end.
[Chorus:]
No, never again. That's what she said.
All that you've known, put it to bed, waking up slow.
The day is brand new, likewise am I,
From here we move on and you need not say why.
[Verse 2:]
I have seen careless actions in the face of tragedy,
In the moment we don't realize what it means,
Or the lasting effects of it. So who's to blame?
It's hard to point the finger when you're in the game,
But all that matters is if you can change,
And come out stronger from it.
It took so much, now I swear that's not me, no.
And at the time it was too far to see to the end.
[Chorus]
(She said it, I know it, never again show it.
Got too much to lose now, a bet I will not take now.
Don't say it, I've known it. Don't look back, I've shown it.
From here now we're moving on.)
No never again, that's what she said.
I've got too much to lose now, I won't take that bet.
Speak of this no more, we'll start a new life.
Stabbed in the back, then we face the axe.
Lost in the dust, you never know who to trust.
Don't let your guard down and if you fall down.
Don't wait for a helping hand to pick you up.
Back on your feet again.
Before we count to ten.
I made that mistake once.
We all make that mistake once.
What should I call you but nevermore?
What should I call you but nevermore?
I'm falling; I fall in the shadow, fast to the end of the rope.
I'm standing; I stand in the dark, ready for the battle to start.
I'm dancing; I dance with the devil and walk through the fire.
I'm signing; I sing for the outcasts, hope they never look back.
Deaf by the gunshot, blinded by the snapshot.
Mute 'cause I'm scared I wanna find myself anywhere but here.
I've been left alone, I've been lost and I've been looking for my home.
A safer place that I could've call my own.
What should I call you but nevermore?
What should I call you but nevermore?
I'm falling; I fall in the shadow, fast to the end of the rope.
I'm standing; I stand in the dark, ready for the battle to start.
I'm dancing; I dance with the devil and walk through the fire.
I'm signing; I sing for the outcasts, hope they never look back.
I'm falling; I fall in the shadow, fast to the end of the rope.
I'm standing; I stand in the dark, ready for the battle to start.
I'm dancing; I dance with the devil and walk through the fire.
Lowly do I sit, the night lay dormant as I muse the thoughts
Of lives passed, and reason with forgotten lore
Remembering within these halls, the curves around your face
Beauty lost; apparition haunting me, dancing in the pale moonlight
Such silence profound in the night
Until a ravens cry shatters repose
In the cold of winter nights, my hands are splintered from the beating
Of my fists upon the bloodied floors
A sanctuary lost within these hallowed halls, such emptiness abound
Such silence deafening to ears, but what's this pounding on my chamber door?
As if striking a hammer to bones
Is this the tone of my taker
As I count the days and nights
Watching shadows pass before my eyes
Years begin to crawl
And I shall hear your voice cry forevermore
And as this silence evolves with each heartbeat that echoes its fears
And in halls I shall hear your voice scream forevermore
And as the shadows grow long
Within the light that now fades in the mist
And in halls I shall remain in darkness forevermore
Confined in abysmal time
Showing no signs of release
Detained in horrific eyes
Piercing with a gaze of remorse
But there he rides on the winds of this gloom
And there he howls with an unearthly wail that shakes me
I sit and try to gasp for air, my chest is tight from apprehension
From this beast that dares to perch and mock my woes
Repeating shrieks of nevermore this wretched hound abounds and vexes me
Peering into my soul with hate, like hell fires spawned behind his gates
Is he the one that will take me away
To lay among the worms
As I sit and stare the pounding palpitates the pulse of blood that's frozen
Through my veins like lifeless corpse in rest
This ravens daunting prophecies have sparked a revelation in my mind
That all of this, my purgatory, shall repeat until I'm under stone
And still this creature insists that he crows
His demoniacal sight
As I count the days and nights, watching shadows pass before my eyes
Years begin to crawl
And I shall hear your voice cry forevermore
And as this silence evolves with each heartbeat that echoes its fears
And in these halls
I shall hear your voice scream forevermore
Confined in abysmal time
Showing no signs of release
Detained in horrific eyes
Piercing with a gaze of remorse
But there he rides on the winds of this gloom
OooooH
I wanna be with you girl
everywhere you go
I wanna be there with you
I say oooooh
I wanna be with you girl
everywhere you go
I wanna be there with you
Don't you try and dare to come over
on the regular
Don't you try and dare to come over
never more
I see you laying down in the clover
I try something now but it's no good
oooooh and i am sober
I see you love the crowd in the show but
I try something now but it's no good
oooooh and i am sober
Don't you try and dare to come over
on the regular, the regular
Don't you try and dare to come over
never more, never more
Don't you try and dare to come over
on the regualar, the regualar
Don't you try and dare to come over
on the regualar, yeah yeah
Don't you try and dare to come over
on the regular, yeah yeah
Don't you try and dare to come over
cut out my love cut out my love when dusk dies walking this path lonely but content how else could I survive listen to my laughter grow nightmares are my reality wrong is swallowed it's so ugly here I cry please don't tempt me they changed my insides now it's lovely it all starts here motherfucker I can feel a change for tonight we spill blood forced to now smile now it gives me strength I love this hate that hates love
flying on a midnight plane
just to keep away from sanity
taking in electric breeze
throw away the line to set me free
i'm so blind, the pain is all i see
trapped inside the veins of memories
i'm so blind, time is just a scene
left behind a photograph of me
NEVERMORE THE RAIN,
TO FEEL IT FALLING DOWN ON ME...
EVERMORE THE SAME,
WHERE YOU LEFT ME HERE TO BE...
stole away my halo just to
auction it away to charity
just before i lost myself
I dream a darker seeking ocean shore
The moon has drawn me to its soil
I glimpse, the shadow of a mystery
But floats beyond my fingers as I cry
And the stars shine on the doom
When I see you in the moon light
Your voice is silence in my memories
Your secrets never were revealed
I see your footprints in the sand, touch them softly with my hand
Oh, we've both been here before, nevermore
Your words are written in the sand
I sweep them softy with my hand
Though we've said these words before, nevermore
Nevermore
The sights
Black forest
Cool moonlight
Blue shadows
Reflect
In windows
In direct
Oh to go
Down to Soho
There bold spirits don't sink so low
Gold amber
Of lights
Beer glasses
Misty nights
Oh to go
Down to Soho
Black tie, night out, hobo outright
Singles bars
Cruising shark cars
Soho neon glow
Nevermore...
When day is dawning
You wipe the sleep slowly from your eyes
Then you remember
Soho's neon disguise
Eyes reflect
In windows direct
Wheels of tanks smashing their soil and
What do they leave behind their noises?
Only blood and crying faces
How can they do
This pure lamb's slaughter?
Kill all their fancies
You're proud to be a god on earth
Burn all their poor frail houses
you're crowned with their blood
Ruin all their fool dreams
you don't dream you waste your life
Bury all with your ego
you write down our doom
Run with your arms
taking your sons
What the hell are you waiting for?
They are near
Feel their foulness
Leave your home and run away
Firing squads are shooting targets
Did you hear their laugh
within these noises?
Hear the voices of the lambs, they're forgetting their lives
Into this slaughter
Kill all their fancies
You're proud to be a god on earth
Burn all their poor frail houses
you're crowned with their blood
Ruin all their fool dreams
you don't dream you waste your life
Bury all with your ego
you write down our doom
Run with your arms
taking your sons
What the hell are you waiting for?
They are near
Feel their foulness
Leave your home and run away
You'll run for yours
seeing the dead around you
You'll run for me
I'll be waiting for you
You don't seem to understand why you are here in this cold sand
why killing lives gives you such fun, and for your wealth you do it again
Run with your arms
taking your sons
What the hell are you waiting for?
They are near
Feel their foulness
Leave your home and run away
You'll run for yours
