Loss Of Eden
05:36
|
|||
We co-exist in a layer of paint
The skies turning black still there’s no restraint
They you say
I don’t believe it’s true
The final minute is upon us all
And greed my friend has led us to the fall
You can’t ignore
This anymore
Hey
Why do you look so sad?
Yes it’s true
Life would be so bad
Without you
We are all we have
You know it’s true
We should hold on to that
Can't you see it's time for change
We are the fire
We are the earth
We live on a planet called economy
And the help is reactive if it starts to bleed
It’s man made
Have we all lost our minds
At what point do we count the cost
And what do we do when our eden’s lost
You don’t care
Refuse to see
And it’s all going to happen after I die
But look at who
Then follows you
Looks up to you
With innocence in their eyes

Do You Hear Drums?
00:47
|
|||
Do you hear drums ?
I hear drums
They come from the sea
Brought in by the breeze
Forgotten
The trees they sway
On the other side of the hill
That’s where we stand
From here we can see the land
The sun has begun

Mozart In Existence
04:13
|
|||
Make up, make over, beethoven roll over
To the man in the lonely chair
Sit down, my mozart in existence, show me your art
Don't you hide cause I know you are there.
Are you afraid?
What do you want me to say?
Why did you bring me here?
Feel my anger, my anger grows
Feel my frustration, it burns and glows
Now we have slept but we have all but rose
And the ship could leave before we know
That star shines so bright it looks like the sun
Maybe it's the one that we all look for
The prophets followed a star,
Say hello, there you are, show no fear, there is no need.
There is no fury in the way it moves
Is it me that you could be looking for ?
And the man in the corner spoke.
"Listen to me ! Listen to me ! They want to poke at your eyes and feed on your pupils !"
When sunrises warmth touches my lips I smile pleasantly, uneasily.
For today has been plentiful.
The tongue is long, the tongue is fast, taste your seed and make it last
The night, the cold, the shore of the orgasm.
Hear her moan, hear her wail
I'd like to fuck little Abagail
But curse the wind, you wont set sail
Ancient flowerings assembled in rows
This feeling returns after so long
There's no rememberance in forgetting
One time the night had begun in black
And before me ...

Thankyou You

Runaway
I must survive
The recession and the darkest nights
I awoke
So alarmed
That I might feel today tonight
We sinned against the Earth but we don’t care
And we will fall before the shore
I woke excited
And I am
I love
Black rain is dismantling the bomb
That ticks from beneath my pond
Feeding frenzy for one million hungry bricks
Cool your feet
Take a load off and sit
It's true
You showed me what I could do
You came to see how I was
I want to thank you just because
For being you
Should I stay or chase the lights
Will I be ok if I sit tight
You showed me wrong from right
You held me through the darkest night
You led me when I lost my sight
And you told me it’ll be alright
So thank you
You

Mother Earth
04:31
|
|||
Hate my tribe
Love my brother
Hate your lies
Live for truth
Live for honour
I’ve got the gun
Tell me now who’s the sucker?
You stand around whilst mother is crying
Tell me now
What to believe is true
Your progression equals dying
What are we to do?
Pools of water up the road
Take my eyesight
Gigantic metal snakes wind down the road
Toward us
Wearing braces of oblivion
Let them pass
There is no hurry here
We do not need to look for death
For death will find us
The red earth swallows the white posts
As we speed on by
Rotting corpses from another world
Litter the roadside
Why are you here ?
For the money

Captains Of The West
06:46
|
|||
We stand alone
You’re the next one
And when I’m not there
You’re not on your own
We got names that mean one thousand men
If you think they're not scared you’d better think again
We’re the Captains of the West
Let the war begin
To save the lives of our children
And when I’m not around
Pass it to your young
We walk and fall
They soon will be strong
We knew this day would come
You
Your time has tried
For you to decide your brother for evermore
We move
With hope we bring
The power of the ring
To overturn the creeping darkness

Habitual Oblivion
04:46
|
|||
My habitual oblivion wasn't passed down but given to me
As an expansion to a thought
But the lopsided scales will let resentment prevail
That taught me nothing but regret.
Regret.
Well I'll be fucked if I forget the lesson to me handed down
Just to return to a crown of thorns that I put on my own head
Have we forgotten everything that was then done
Everything that was then said.
I can
You can't
Like fuck you can't
Downfall of a generation
The point of my admiration
And when I said I'd die for you
Well I didn't lie
And the point of my understanding
Can sometimes seem demanding
And you will know when is the time.
They looked after me there, bathed me in red wine
Took the lion's courage and made it mine
That day it changed my life
The tinmans heart they finally put to rest
They embedded it right beneath my very own left breast
That now faces toward the sky.
We're the vikings of the 21st century
We all now look to see what we can claim to be our own
Just be be a king or a queen
Well say if you, say if you only please
We just do what our mind feels.
You will know when is the time to begin your revolution.

Alive
03:47
|
|||
This is for the ones who can’t believe
The ones who can’t stop the bleed
Looking for a little faith
I was down and I was out
Out for the whole count
Watching it fade away
But if it’s what you love
Wouldn’t you just do it anyway
If it makes you feel alive
With you I feel alive
I know it’s hard just to be strong
When the nights are restless
And the days are long
I know
And I know just what you’re going to say
That life keeps getting in the way
Of what we want
Life’s not there to be surrendered
And you need to sit and remember when
The fire was burning and get it back again
You need to try
You know we’ve all had our troubles
And we’ve all had our hard times
We’ve been knocked down
And we’ve all asked the question why
Not what it takes just to survive
But what it is that makes you feel alive
So alive

Killer On The Road
05:26
|
|||
I'm the man with the silver gun theory
Shoot now or now you might miss me
Shoot now
You can still thrill me.
I'm a natural born killer
Shoot now or now you might miss her
Shoot now
You can still thrill me
Killer on the road.
Wise man chief old indian
You saw the demons coming twenty years ago
Twenty years from now.
Snakebite kerosene rattlesnake
Shoot down
Isolate
Make the break
There's love, laughter and the rape
Killer on the road.
You don't say much.
Highway 666.

Murder You
03:34
|
|||
Take my demons
I don’t wish to see them here
Despite what you’re thinking
They speak and they are real
Take my burden
He won’t stop touching me
Trapped into one way thinking
I’ve forgotten how to feel
Drink your devil’s blood
And say what you have to say
I’m to murder you
Can’t be another way
Tell me how you feel
When you’re alone
I wish I took my time
But I can’t wait that long
I thank my demons
They walk with me everyday
They help me to see things
When life gets in the way
Take the living
They’re all just devils and dust
Doing what they have to
Doing what it is they must
Had you read my mind
You would be just fine
Everything could have been alright
But you missed all the signs
Now it’s the end of the line
And now is the time

Land Of Plenty
05:33
|
|||
We're dreaming unto a land of plenty
Where do you think we should be?
Fresher than the morning breeze
And we built all this together
Fuck no – we won’t do what you say
You said get fucked – we’re gonna do it anyway
Well fuck this – you can’t tell us what to do
We’re gonna stand our ground so fuck off and fuck you
I don't know why you'd want to leave when you’re from the land of plenty
It seems sometimes the grass is always greener till you get to that other side
You’re complaining
Your hands are full when you swear they’re empty
I don't know why you'd want to leave when you’re from the land of plenty
These are my people
Don’t think we don’t know what you’re doing
You invade a land that’s not yours
And then make it ok by your laws
You kill and from our homes you start stealing
I know what I’m seeing but I’m not seeing clearly
I feel my rage
It’s boiling deep within me
Open your hearts
Open your eyes
You are mistaken if you don’t think we will fight
Belief is power
I know what I’m seeing but I’m not seeing clearly
The white devil have come across the blue sea
That time has passed
We must join hands
And do what’s best for the future of our land
The Land Of Plenty

The Devil Made You Do It
04:53
|
|||
Tell me what you have done so lately
It may make your mind all shady
Hold you hostage, well I just maybe
Take my hand and be my lady.
Sorry sir I think you missed you
How she wept when you were not there
Oh my God ! Is that Lucifer ?
Much too late
So now I've missed her
You say it’s something that you had to do
Not sure how much you’ve thought this through
I don’t share that point of view
The devil made you do it
And that’s my truth
Life
You’ve only got one
Pride
You’d better keep some
Time
For all of us will soon be undone
And what you leave behind is how you’re remembered
Things that pass and things done lately
Has this changed your mind from maybe
What you did, you had done so poorly
You can't be serious ?! So tell me, now surely ?
What has now become of me ?
You are my new enemy
Things have seemed to change, I see.
What's this ?! Here in front of me
You are now beside of me
Things have seemed to change I see
Things that just won’t heal in time
Are better left unsaid
Turn around
Who the fuck are you ?

No Mourning Anymore
03:08
|
|||
I had a dream
One of the movie kind
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
I say let me be
No need here for you
Your thoughts
I think my mood change may bring the rain
That washes you away
No mourning anymore
The night ends with me
I see
I see.
Read to me
Read to me
Hold the candle so I can see the rolling letters in front of me.
The angels have called
Must go now
Must go now.
I walked across the room
She spoke
I touched her mouth.

My belief is now your bullet
You've got the reason now to use it
We don't want your violence
Can't you pray in silence ?
No, fuck you, thank you very muchly
Don't you come near or dare now touch me
We don't want your kind
We don't even like your kind
12345
I plant the bomb inside your bedroom
It won’t be long until you're gone soon
I once knew the father
He blessed me just after
You want to be the fucker ?
I want to be the fucker
We all want to be the fucker
Won’t settle for any less or any other
12345
I am just a slave, don't know what to say
What a fucking life, what a fucking day
I got factory back since the other day
What a fucking life, what a fucking day
Ruby stones and emeralds
Water shines on the diamond pearls
The ship does sail through the sea
Over bridges and right through me
I woke up today, what more can I say
The sun is in the air and children want to play
I've been feeling kinda good since the other day
And it's great to be alive, well what more can I say
Come out and show your pretty face
I know you have a pretty face
Disgrace? There's no disgrace
Show your face
The ocean lies asleep as the land wakes at dawn
I woke up on the wrong side of the morning
Where darkness awaited me, but a star shone
My eye collapsed and the day begun.
Oh lady
Sweet lady
My chest is yours
I came to find
Then cleanse what’s mine
For seven times
