Seer
04:58
|
|||
some claim to be the seer high upon the mountain
well hail to the chief who loves and understands
oh what a thrill to hear your words ring aloud
how they draw so easily a crowd
come on then, you must tear out your eyes just to see it
(believe it)
come on then, you must tear out your mind to believe it
(believe)
ambassadors of what is wrong and what is right
tell me who to blame and who to fight
love is the message they claim
now go on my lamb and praise his name
come on then, you must tear out your eyes just to see it
(believe it)
come on then, you must tear out your heart just to feel it
(believe)

Pull the Stone
06:43
|
|||
some people got an intent under thumb
expect the rest of us just play dumb
most of the world will just let em be
don’t rock the boat and you won’t be seen
stand up at the hour or kiss the throne
march up to the tower and pull the stone
I got an itch that you can see
one little scratch will set me free
they’ll tumble down one by one
I’ll light em up just for fun
stand up at the hour or kiss the throne
march up to the tower and pull the stone

Pass the Buck
05:31
|
|||
you wanna tame the wind for the sails to receive it
you wanna conquer the land, sea and sky just to bleed it
cause you’ll be gone and forgotten,
so why should you give a fuck
if the future’s children
are left to fend on a lifeless husk
our bottomless greed is a marvel indeed
this condition is seen as a virtuous scene
but you’ll be gone and forgotten,
so why should you give a fuck
if the future’s children
are left to fend on a lifeless husk
so pass the buck
we’re out of luck
you wanna build a bridge to the heavens above
the ship is ready for launch and our graves are all dug
cuz we’ll be gone and forgotten,
so why should you give a fuck
if our future children
are left here to fend on a lifeless husk
so pass the buck
we’re out of luck

Centrifuge
07:18
|
|||
I watch the angels and the devils collide
the line disintegrates and colors combine
watch all the wreckage hanging up in mid flight
its just another way to find baseline
temporary refuge we brace upon you now
eternal centrifuge keeps spinning round
try and keep my feet on the ground
my bag of bone and gut is out in the fray
until the moment comes to throw me away
sift thru the wreckage in the ancient sands
digging for treasure with my brittle hands
temporary refuge we brace upon you now
eternal centrifuge keeps spinning round
try and keep my feet on the ground

Bloodletting
05:32
|
|||
you open doors you cannot close
you may not like where this one goes
the snake has beckoned you on thru
you took the bait, it’s yours to chew
don’t feel too bad
it’s just some skin needing shedding
it’s just some blood needing letting
cold and pulled from the womb
lonely as I am I sit here with no strength to bloom
count the cards in my hand
a figure upon a horse bears a flag
it won’t be long
come now down to the riverside
come now over the borderline

Down the Street
05:08
|
|||
I’m miles down the street now
life has hit the gas
it’s blurry out my window
shits moving by too fast
to all my long lost friends
I love you just the same
I’m sorry for the mess that I
may or may not have made
on my way thru the mire
ridden out like a worn down tire
light me up a pyre
warm the wind with a funeral choir
time washes gray
like a stalker stretching out a mean long shadow
one foot ahead
it’s such a peaceful feeling
when you cut the brakes
senses keep revealing
as the layers chip away
saw you coming back
my soul smiled to see your face
first you gave a glimpse
and then you left without a trace
on my way thru the mire
ridden out like a worn down tire
light me up a pyre
warm the wind with a funeral choir
time washes gray
like a stalker stretching out a mean long shadow
one foot ahead
if you gave me love you've done me right
if you kept me warm on a cold dark night
I’m miles down the street now
life has hit the gas
it’s blurry out my window
shits moving by too fast

Pinball
03:33
|
|||
Wired and on the run
Pinball out the gun
wide eyes never close
Sleeps for the dead
While away the hours shaking
Shaking out the seed to waste
This whole town is spun
Wrung out, dried and strung
Aging out of date
The time has come
While away the hours baking
Baking under the bright red sun
And they say its just a sad sign of the times
is it just me or has this whole thing come untied?

Another Dime
06:14
|
|||
you’re a wolf among the sheep
it doesn’t interrupt your sleep
nightmares crawl out from the deep
forgotten quickly as they leave
shove it down and out the way
another dime, another day
a house high upon a hill
a wife sits listless full of pills
two kids raised by hired hand
won’t interrupt my business plans
shove it down and out the way
another dime, another day
aren’t you grateful what I made?
burning red
I will eclipse the sun,
and all will fade to gray
sunk in the shade
you’re sunk in the shade
burning lead
don’t you get in my way
or I will make you pay
make you pay
I’ll make it rain

Warpaint
07:19
|
|||
common ground that we had,
respect and grace
receding back under flag
now the drums beat the march,
lead the ranks
every face donned in warpaint
we the proles, bought and sold
cast in mold
free to do what we are told
now the drums, growing loud
reaching near
and the earth moving sound
shakes the fear
pawns in someone else’s game
doing bidding in their name
everyone will shoulder blame
pawns in someone else’s game
doing bidding in their name
everyone will know the shame
