Cry For Yesterday
04:35
|
|||
|
i wanna tear down tomorrow
it's true that nothing is free
you better step aside from all the fear inside
and give youe demons to me
time and time again you kid yourself
while time just slips away
take a look in the mirror, hate yourself
and cry for yesterday
i wanna hold down your sorrow
and keep your anger at bay
your future's been fortold, your body bought and sold
crush those who stand in the way
chorus/solo
i walk this wasteland of ruin
i can't make sense of it all
we've birthed an endless tomb from an infectious womb
oh, how the mighty did fall
cry for yesterday...

Black Blood Of The Earth
05:00
|
|||
|
in the quest for power
the corporate lust for more
they drew this ancient evil
from the depths of the ocean floor
compelled by blind obsession
they never seem to learn
the virus now awakened
hidden in the darkness churns
oh how the tides are rising
it's time to sink or swim
this one thing time will never mend
there are places we're not meant to go
deep in the earth where
the black blood flows
they traded poisoned waters
fueled by an endless greed
they sold our own survival
for a cure that's the disease
and from this one disaster
they tried to heal the wound
but with a failed solution
mankind shall be doomed
chorus
oh how the tides are rising
oh how the mighty fall
oh how the black blood rises
it's the end of us all...

The Reaping
05:37
|
|||
|
blood red oceans paint the sky
mother earth, she shuts her eyes
a touch of pain like we can only do
on her back like hordes of fleas
can't see the forest for the trees
perverted til there's nothing left for you
the human plague without a cure
will our legacy endure?
will our children thinkwe done them wrong?
choking on synthetic trust
the system grinds our dreams to dust
we've damaged our own lives for far too long
we can see your lies
the secrets that you're keeping
wounded twisted pride
a broken man is bleeding
are we hypnotized?
the whole wide world is sleeping
darkened planet vandalized
soon it's time for the reaping
count your blessings while they last
your future now becomes your past
the golden calf is not your diety
time to bite the hand that feeds
all our wants outweigh our needs
the culprit here looks just like you and me
chorus/solo
soon it's time for the reaping

Red Zone V
04:19
|
|||
|
panic in the streets
this city reeks of death and rotten meat
choppers overhead
chasing down the virus as it spreads
they can't break me, got to survive
they won't make me one of the hive
they can't break me, dead or alive
they won't take me to red zone five
chaos on the front
the watchdogs are always on the hunt
isolate the strain
and disconnect your body from your brain
chorus/solo
breakdown on the hill
this house of cards has gravely taken ill
all abandon ship
and separate the masters from their whip

From Out Of Nowhere
05:04
|
|||
|
one day we looked around
and it's if the world went cold
surrounded by these empty shells
it's the dead, they're coming back
and they're crawling from the ground
they've come to drag us into hell
so dig in deep or run and hide
and pray they don't get inside
or you're gonna turn into one of "them"
so, if you do, you know we're comin' after you
and we won't stop
til there's a bullet in your head
i think we're dead inside and i'm terrified
from out of nowhere
this should be clarified but it's classified
from out of nowhere
just like a moth to the flame
don't know who's to blame
from out of nowhere
it's a shame that no one knows
from whence it came
from out of nowhere
from out of nowhere
it's like a horror film to see
the dead return from eternity
dirty bones and rotted skin
and how would you know what to do
when they're shambling after you
and would you know where to begin?
would you run or die of fright
or would you stand your ground and fight
among the living or the dead?
the choice is yours and yours alone
so choose a lot or cast a stone
cause it's a long hard road ahead
chorus/solo
i shot my baby down

Unlucky
04:42
|
|||
|
word came down a while ago
but i just got the news
it looks like i'm on my own
with nothing left to lose
crazies to the left of me
destruction my right
live to see another day
if i can make it throught the night
there's a black cloud hanging on my bed
and a murder of crows a-circling my head
i found a face-down penny
where i spilt my salt
and i'm tryin to make it better
but it's all for naught, oh yeah
man, i'm so unlucky
it used to be in god we trust
but now i trust in me
wander through this urban hell
crushed by disparity
the fates have lost their seeing eye
the cards cast to the wind
to face an undead army
where the horrors never end
a black cat crossed my path today
i ducked behind a ladder to get out of it's way
i've seen thirteen skulls
my name is written in red
i hope it's just a nightmare and
it's all in my head, oh yeah
man, i'm so unlucky

Buried Alive
05:24
|
|||
|
i'm a man on a wire
trapped in a world of hate
fear the living, fight the dead
but i'm hoping that
i'll see the sun again
my only freedom in my head
a poison i was gave
they put me in this grave
now i'm screaming
somebody save me
i'm wide awake, never to be saved
but i'm not dead, i'm buried alive
yeah baby i'm ten toes up
i'm buried alive
retrospective torment
a kind that i can't stand
in my six by six by three
the air is getting thin
inside my catacomb
i'm a ghost in the machine
bridge/chorus/solo
am i doomed to be a skull
upon these walls?
grinning for eternity
a shapeless stain upon
the memory of time
a hopeless entity
bridge/chorus

The Promise
06:25
|
|||
|
i remember how it used to be
safe and warm in your embrace
and i remember every little thing
a joyful heart you can't replace
carried by the wings of crows
a love that's lost, a love decayed
and as the waning summer sin did glow
i kept the promise that we made
i remember the fire in your eyes
how you touched me on my chest
and i remember how you held my hand
another memory that's repressed
chorus/solo
i remember the day it all went wrong
we're all falling one by one
and i remember that look upon your face
as i did what should be done
chorus

i'm so sick of this cursed place
a fitting end to the human race
i tried to make them go away
the voices screaming every day
no matter what, they're here to stay
and when i'm done you'll hear me say
fuck the world
i've heard it time and time again
remove the threat from deep within
i tried to make them go away
the voices screaming every day
no matter what, they're here to stay
and when i'm done you'll hear me say
i try to drive the dead away
but they keep coming every day
no matter what, they're here to stay
and when i'm done you'll hear me say
can someone please send me a sign?
before i break and cross that line?
can someone drag me back from hell?
and try to save me from myself?
i've taken more than i can stand
i'll kill you all with my bare hands
chorus

Vengeance Is Mine
03:55
|
|||
|
there's no way i'd forget it
i saw your face today
and i know that i'd regret it
so i would make you pay
i'm coming back and hell's coming with me
it kills you if you let it
the things that we have done
old ground, but i'll retread it
taking from each one
chorus/solo
if there's a curse, i've said it
i cannot live a lie
if there's a trap, i'll set it
now you all shall die
chorus

excerpt from "the black birds"
by henry van dyke
then, from the wood, across the silvery blue,
a dark bird flew,
silent, with sable wings.
close in his wake another came, --
fragments of midnight floating through
the sunset flame, --
another and another, weaving rings
of blackness on the primrose sky, --
another, and another, look, a score,
a hundred, yes, a thousand rising heavily
from that accursed, dumb, and ancient wood, --
they boiled into the lucid air
like smoke from some deep caldron of despair!
and more, and more, and ever more,
the numberless, ill-omened brood,
flapping their ragged plumes,
possessed the landscape and the evening light
with menaces and glooms.
oh, dark, dark, dark they hovered o'er the place
where once i saw the little house so white
amid the flowers, covering every trace
of beauty from my troubled sight,
and suddenly it was night...

The Bitter End
05:08
|
|||
|
it's hard to believe
sometimes things are really over
how did it ever last so long?
i've been on my own now
for what seems like a lifetime
and now i'm not feeling very strong
a nomadic lifestyle
has become my existence
but somehow it all seems so wrong
all i have now are my thoughts
and my memories
that's how i keep on keepin' on
this revelation - yes, hell is real
my separation fuels this bitterness i feel
the end cometh quickly
yet it seems even sooner
watching the world so slowly rot
you're pushed from the womb
while you're kickin' and screamin'
the while of your life already bought
the slave is the master
when the master lies decaying
will he still do what he was taught?
in all, it was nothing
but a blantant misdirection
was this the knowledge that i sought?
chorus/solo
i've struggled so much
it'll last me for a lifetime
it's hard to see the lesson learned
there's no looking back
'cause there's nothing left to look at
all of the bridges are burned
gaunt in my stature and
hollow in my features
how many loved ones have been turned?
i'm filled with hunger
and it gnaws me from the inside
another body that's returned

Rise Above
05:09
|
|||
|
i've tried so hard to be the man i am
but am i the man i'm supposed to be?
a life that's lived filled with regret and doubt
is a life that's filled with misery
all you can ask from your fellow man
is to lend a helping hand and
try to do the best you can
then one day like the call of the mourning dove
we will rise above, one day we will rise above
the hands of time relay a simple truth
in the hourlgass we are all the sand
the greater purpose that we're searching for
we've mostly failed to understand
chorus
i won't try to be "enlightened" anymore
i'll just try to be
and i won't be the prisoner anymore
longing to be free...
solo/chorus

excerpt from "faces" by walt whitman
i see them, and complain not
and am content with all.
do you suppose i could be content
with all, if i thought them
thier own finale?
this now is too lamentable a face
for a man.

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss.
