Crop Circles in the Sand
03:55
|
|||
From the mouths of babes come the words
That will make or break my world
A flag unfurled
And the sunlight slanting through the tree.
A dragonfly on a rock
Of a distant flowing stream
A lucid dream
And everything seems out of touch to me.
As I hold on to the light of the stars in the night
The darkness takes hold of me
And I rip and I tear
And all that was right is left asunder
Beneath me
In the mind of babes,
In the heart of destroyers,
I’ll search for the vein
As the brightness takes me over
I’ll die to the world
In a blood-drenched inferno
As the world falters around me
And the darkness begets itself.
As I hold on to the light of the stars in the night
The darkness takes hold of me
And I rip and I tear
And all that was right is left asunder
Beneath me

Taken Aback
03:49
|

As she strode across the floor
The steam and sex rose
like fog in the night
She walked right up to me
And lifted my head to look her in the eye
she said:
Have you
Met my savior
He created these milky thighs
If you accept him
he'll forgive you
For not looking me in the eyes
I was taken aback
By the hypocrisy
Of this angel in demon tights
She sucked me in with
The lust and the sin
While her intentions were pure and white
Have you
Met my savior
He created this perfect ass
If you accept him
Then I'll fuck you
And if you won't then I'll have to pass
I was taken aback
By the hypocrisy
Of this demon between my thighs
She sucked me in with
The lust and the sin
While her intentions were pure and white
And I will never forgive her
For what she did to me that night
She dragged me in to puritanical rules
That were built on pain and lies
I was taken aback
By the hypocrisy
Of this angel in demon tights
She sucked me in with
The lust and the sin
While her intentions were pure and white
I was taken aback
By the hypocrisy
Of this demon between my thighs
She sucked me in with
The lust and the sin
While her intentions were pure and white

Flummöxed

Here we go again, we're not angry but we're fighting
Your once and future king's six feet under you
I can see it in your eyes, your faith in him is fading
You're coming to the side of reason now
Here we go again, you stare at me in silence
You weren't prepared for this, where's your Father now
In the darkness and the rain you're left alone with violence
No one to soothe your pain, where's your savior now
Here we go again, the sadness builds inside you
There's no one overhead, looking out for you
Your world comes tumbling down as you weep in silence
The walls are closing in and your world is too
Here we go again, there's light here on the other side
Your knowledge and your pain can save you too
Forget about the lies they've fed you all your life
The light of happiness is inside of you
Here we go again, another laughing Jesus
Has found the truth within and spurned all of you
Seeing through the lies, you used to build your empire
Will lead to your demise, as we uphold Truth
Here we go again, the cycle's never ending
Here we go again, blindness can't see Truth...

On Deaf Ears
04:09
|
|||
Everything I say falls on deaf ears
The love we used to have just disappears
Where we go from here I do not know
Just look into the dark, and here we go.
Another night, Another show
What comes next, I'll never know
Another night, Though dark and cold
Is all that's left of our growing old.
I've said it all before, with distant tears
And where we end up next, has been the same for years
I'll look into your eyes and stay the flow
We fall onto the floor, and here we go.
Another night, Another show
What comes next, I'll never know
Another night, Though dark and cold
Is all that's left of our growing old.
Another fight, And we make up
We bite and claw and we're out of luck
While in the moment it all disappears
When it's over we're left with tears
Everything I say falls on deaf ears
The love we used to have just disappears
Where we go from here I do not know
Just look into the dark, and here we go.
Another night, Another show
What comes next, I'll never know
Another night, Though dark and cold
Is all that's left of our growing old.

Lost
04:18
|
|||
Years are gone
With memories all tracing back to
Thoughts and I
Have no way of knowing what to do
And the rhythm of the boots are
marching on
Marching as the rain comes
down on me
Nevermind who I am
And Nevermind who you are
I've lost the times and lives
And now I'm gone...
Reaching out
To the thoughts I've had before
Never grasped
The fleeting nature of it all
And the days keep moving on
Wherever I have been
And the darkness of the past
tearing me apart
Nevermind who I am
And Nevermind where you are
I've lost the times and lives
And now I'm gone...
I'm lost in the past
Still looking for the door
I've lost the times and lives
Now I'm looking for some more
I'm grounded in the abyss
In the darkness of futility
What comes before this
Where the fuck are we....
Nevermind who I am
And Nevermind where you are
I've lost the times and lives
And now I'm gone...
I'm lost in the past
Still looking for the door
I've lost the times and lives
Now I'm looking for some more
Nevermind who I am
And Nevermind who you are
I've lost the times and lives
And now I'm gone...

Entangled Pathos
05:20
|
|||
From childhood's hour
I have not been
On a path that
You think is
Comforting
We walked in
The moonlight
And every chance you had
You whispered
Into Me and told me life is grand
Oh, but it was all a lie
In the end
Even you stopped walking with me
you stopped playing pretend.
The lies that you told to me
Still sting to this day
And you won't walk with me
You only walk away
But what did I expect?
It certainly wasn't
your love
And it certainly wasn't
compassion
In my head.
There never was a seed for the feelings that I felt
Never was a seed for the pain that took me over...
Oh,oh
Where did you go?
Oh, oh
Where'd the pain come from
And where did I come from
And where did you come from
And why don't we belong
And where did we come from
Oh, where'd this pain come from
Yeh, where'd this pain come from
Where'd it go

You Go
03:32
|
|||
I don't know where you are when you go...
I don't know where you are when you go...
You've taken my heart and torn it apart
And you go
Another night
I'll spend it alone
Cuz I don't know where you are when you go...
No I don't know where you are when you go...
Night after night you lay next to me
But your heart isn't there
I hold it inside, it just isn't right
I long for your touch and the smell of your hair
And I don't know where you are when you go...
I don't know where you are when you go...
I don't know where you are when you go...
I don't know where you are when you go...
I don't know where you are when you go...
I don't know where you are when you go...

Third Rail (Platypus)
04:09
|
|||
The last scion lay in slumber
Unaware it seems
That scenarios unfolding
Threatened all humanity
A pillar of flame beholden
Chemicals set free
The prophets will come forth now
After Mexican cuisine
The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth
Down on bended knee.
Their only chance of salvation
Indulgence plenary
God let us out
God set us free
God let us out
Or it will all cease to be.
A stripper muse before them
The prophets fail to see
A darker plot unfolding
A demon born of suffering
A killing spree behind them
The angels heading east
But they underestimate
The drawing power of Jersey.
The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth
Into the land of cheese.
Their only chance for getting out
Indulgence plenary
No pleasure, no rapture
No exquisite sin greater
Than central air
Azrael
Azrael Pick that up
Azrael bring us home
The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth
Into the land of cheese.
Their only chance for getting out
Indulgence plenary
The fallen angels crumbled to the Earth We're going home now
Into the land of cheese. You can't stop us now
Their only chance for getting out Everything must end now
Indulgence plenary All of you, on your knees

Time Lies
04:13

(Say, do you hear the drums?)
I returned
From the end of the universe
Humanity in tow
To save them all
With mastery
And spread our empire
Across space and time itself
And I can hear the drums
And I can hear the drums
My plan was thwarted
By the champion of humanity
As she traveled across the earth
She raised an army of voices against me
And sent the sons of her progeny
Screaming into the flames of the end of the universe.
And I can hear the drums
And I can hear the drums
The fathers of my homeland
returned through cracks in time
Intent on killing all mankind
I stood before them
I cast my ego aside
I saved you all just like a Doctor would
And I can hear the drums
And I can hear the drums
Time lies.

A Grave by the Sea
04:58
|

My friend marched into death in the fall of naught and five
Victor or victim, you know, I could not surmise
But I know that nothing could ever be the same
My life and my friend were forever changed
‘It’s for the best’ they preach to us
But will the world survive our guns
The devil lies asleep in bed
Relying on the efforts of our friends
I lost my friend on a cold, dark night in Babylon
One shot, one kill, or so they said, and he was gone
It was a matter of life or death, kill or be killed
A piece of my life died that night up on that fucking hill
‘It’s for the best’ they preach to us
But will the world survive our guns
The devil lies asleep in bed
Relying on the efforts of our friends
A ghost of a man came unto me
With tainted hopes and nightmare dreams
I wanted to greet him with open arms
But the pain and the anger and the fire in his eyes…wo, oh, oh!
‘It’s for the best’ they preach to us
But will the world survive our guns
The devil lies asleep in bed
Relying on the efforts of our friends
My friend marched into death in the fall of naught and five
Victor or victim, you know, I could not surmise
But I know that nothing could ever be the same
My life and my friend were forever changed

Say you don't want it
And say you don't need it
Say you condemn it
Refusing to feed it
Vultures feast on carrion
Show them that you're battle worn
Scarred and torn we must go on
Take back power from the storm
Feel like turning
Feel like burning
Say you don't want it
And say you don't need it
Say you condemn it
Refusing to feed it
Lies consuming
It's all breaking
Filled with lies
Try to deny
No truth inside
The power hungry will go on
Refuse their pathos and hold strong
In your chest your armor's worn
Lies deflected, truth is born
Filled with lies
But truth won't die
Say you don't want it
And say you don't need it
Say you condemn it
Refusing to feed it
Vultures feast on carrion
Show them that you're battle worn
Scarred and torn we must go on
Take back power from the storm
The power hungry will go on
Refuse their pathos and hold strong
In your chest your armor's worn
Lies deflected, truth is born
Filled with lies
But truth won't die

How?
04:35
|
|||
A bonfire flickered in the distance
I never had a chance
Rhythmic beats repeated nothing
Bodies thrashed around as we danced
Silhouetted in the darkness
As the jumpers burned and bled
The world in its frenzied fervor
As never before and never again
How in the world will I ever forget you
This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to
How in the world will I ever forget you
This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to
And where am I supposed to be?
What did you want from me?
And where am I supposed to be?
What did you want from me?
How in the world will I ever forget you
This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to
How in the world will I ever forget you
This sting in my heart says I'm not really meant to
And, oh, the sound of that door
The sound of my heart
The sound of my soul
And, oh, the sound of a crash
The sound of my heart
The sound of my soul
And, oh, the end of that bliss
The end of my heart
The end of my soul.
And, oh, the end of that bliss
The end of my heart
The end of my soul.

Simple Pleasures
05:41
|
|||
I was a boy once,too
Lost in the innocence of my existence
I believed what they told me to
A benevolent beast watched over me
And we prayed
To God
And you took that away
From Me
Your vengeful God
Exacted his wrath on me
He took me from my innocence
To a world that's empty
But there's no way to unlearn what I know
There's no way back
To the simple pleasure
Of ignorance
I grew into the knowledge
That man begot God
And lost the faith
That Jesus was coming
That there was someone who cared
That was looking out for me
And I prayed
to nothing
And nothing answered me
Your vengeful God
Exacted his wrath on me
He took me from my innocence
To a world that's empty
But there's no way to unlearn what I know
There's no way back
To the simple pleasure
Of ignorance
Sure, I was a man once, too
Lost in the turmoil of my existence
I never believed.. no never
A malevolent beast glared out from me
And they prayed
To God
And I took that away from them
Your vengeful God
Exacted his wrath on me
He took me from my innocence
To a world that's empty
But there's no way to unlearn what I know
There's no way back
To the simple pleasure
Of ignorance
