2. THE MEEK

Shear me till it bleeds
‘Cause I was made a sheep
A yellow stripe up my back
I know it's not an attack
But feel the need to retreat

I believe in everything you say
I'm sorry, and I'm naïve
I'm really easy to deceive
I'm sorry, I am the meek

All you selfish little things
Nothing's what it seems
Do the best that you can
To stick your head in the sand
With your tail between your legs

When all is said and done
All you do is run
Out the back and behind the walls of shame
But instead you should be saying

Shear me till it bleeds
‘Cause I was made a sheep
A yellow stripe up my back
I know it's not an attack
But feel the need to retreat

I believe in everything you say
I'm sorry, and I'm naïve
I'm really easy to deceive
I'm sorry, I am the meek

You're not even a man
Holding out your hand
As it shakes and you stutter that you're wrong
And you feel you've been talking too long

Such a small, pathetic worm
Prostrate to affirm
That you're under my heel
Too much a coward to kneel
In the end you will be begging

Shear me till it bleeds
‘Cause I was made a sheep
A yellow stripe up my back
I know it's not an attack
But feel the need to retreat

I believe in everything you say
I'm sorry, and I'm naïve
I'm really easy to deceive
I'm sorry, I am the meek

A yellow stripe up my back,
I know it's not an attack
But feel the need to retreat
A yellow stripe up my back,
I know it's not an attack
But feel the need to retreat

I believe in everything you say
I'm sorry, and I'm naïve
I'm really easy to deceive
I'm sorry, I am the meek


3. THE VOW

Undaunted by the moment's chill
Fingers roam
In the quiet and the still
Finally reaching home…

Placid and chaotic
Picture perfect final scenes
Falling curtains blow in waves
Fields of cinders made

Flying fast in the debris
Are sharpened pieces cut from dreams
Whether bones or rods of steel
Shattered frames unclean

Now is when the two will stand together
The sky's about to break
Winds of change too strong to measure
Ashes fall like rain
Silent vows
Standing ground
All the best of us will stay
In the day that lasts forever

Panoramic raging gales
Eradicating all pretense
Raw emotions in the fray
Profound and so intense

See the lines of visions passed
Feeling more like brothers
Join them at the table last
There will be no others

And the ashes fall like rain
And the ashes fall like rain

Your gaze
Cuts the quick
Stronger resigned
Whispered lips
Speech is betrayed
Words will fail
In the calm hours
Phrases pale next to

Your touch
Digging tight
And the truth sighs
On your breath
As the air cries
Cheating death
From the inside


4. VEIL OF MEDGIDDO

Voice inside my head is shouting
Got to try to make it out
Air around me constant burning
And the quiet seems so loud

Apparent missing seasons
And everything is gone
Dwelling on the choice and reason
Reaping what we knew was wrong

So much left to say,
And no one to hear,
I'm trying to save
All that we hold dear by

Revealing all the unseen…
Men appearing as reflections, transparent apparitions
Reaching in vain through the veil,
Revealing all the unseen

No words do just expression
To grasp the sense of loss
Clear in my understanding
Empty echoes, speeches lost

The saddest deep despairing
Intent to break across
Penetrate the fog of failings
Vicious circles spinning off

So much left to say,
And no one to hear,
I'm trying to save all that we hold dear by

Revealing all the unseen,
Manifesting motivation, expressed in dire frustration
Reaching in vain through the veil,
Revealing all the unseen
Brushing aside the silence, this peace achieved through violence…

Take it to heart
The end
Imminent
The last
Days are night
Enshrouded black
And innocence
Decried

Revealing all the unseen
Brushing aside the silence, this peace achieved through violence
Reaching in vain through the veil
Revealing all the unseen
Men appearing as reflections, transparent apparitions

Reaching in vain through the veil
Reaching in vain through the veil


5. SICK ONE

This is my
Tragedy
Sick as Fuck
Travesty

This is my
Tragedy
This rage demands to be released
This rage demands to be released

Sick! Fuck! Sick!
Sick! Fuck! Sick!
This is my life
This is my spine
Saving myself and I'm living a lie

Choices made
Often determine the hand we play
Acting on urges we've hidden away
Is never safe for us…safe for us

Eight ball eyes entice
Smelling like winter, it smells so white
Pleasure can break you with a smile
And challenge your sanctity…your sanity

*sick*

Sick fuck, you're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
And this is myself
You're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
Like nobody else
This is my life
This is my spine
Saving myself and I'm living a lie

Sweet to taste
Iron inside and the thrill of the chase
A beast that stalks his prey
And eats the flesh of lust, from each of us

All of the pain that I deal
And the shame isn't real
And I'm fighting an id full of zeal
And it puts me in places
To change all the faces
And causes in phases, depravity

*sick*

Sick fuck, you're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
And this is myself
You're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
Like nobody else
This is my life
This is my spine
Saving myself and I'm living a lie

This is my
Tragedy
Sick as fuck
Travesty
This is my
Tragedy
This rage demands to be released
Demands to be released!

Sick fuck, you're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
And this is myself
You're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
Like nobody else
This is my
Tragedy
Sick as fuck
Sick fuck, you're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
And this is myself
You're a sick fuck, you're a sick fuck
Like nobody else
This is my life
This is my spine
Saving myself and I'm living a lie


6. THE STALKER

Play the fearful game
A friend portrayed
To find it feigned
Too late
Seven seals riven by wind
The winter overtakes where the seasons begin
The tongue that splits in two, like a lash and sanguine
The serpent opens wide and eats its tail with a grin

Empty seats grieving
Dark and unbelieving
Absent eyes weeping
Phobic tears

4 then 2, then 3
Lurks quietly
Deceitful thief
Defeats me

Hands like a clock strike the hour
Pulling out the stem to rot the head of the flower
The humours overlooked, separating and sour
Preying from behind like the badge of a coward

Empty seats grieving
Dark and unbelieving
Absent eyes weeping
Phobic tears
Crushed! The memories
Crushed! The history
Crushed! It kills me
Way before my time

These scars
Regard
Reflect
The blood and flesh traumatized
Deny
These crimes
As if they commit themselves


7. TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY

There's nothing more
It's all or it's nothing it's end of days
There's nothing more
Technological Singularity

Simple, efficient
The prime coefficient
The gavel is hammering out a death sentence

A would-be god will end the act
With the scales in his hand
And the world on the rack,
With one thing left to ask…

A question of when
Flesh and sand will kill us in the end
A question of when

There's nothing more
It's all or it's nothing it's end of days
There's nothing more
Technological Singularity

Gathering knowledge
Increasingly toxic
Sensing itself with
Ubiquitous logic

I have set the watchmen on the walls
They're all in place to watch the fall
Flesh and sand will finally kill us all
A question of when
Flesh and sand will kill us in the end
A question of when

A pawn the equal to a king
Until a shell is what remains
A pawn the equal to a king
Until a shell is what remains
Technological Singularity
Technological Singularity


8. PRESS DELETE

Ripping at the seams
Swelling up with waste, and all of the unclean
Choking greed
Apt to replicate unsanitary beings
We are the leech, the cruelest of teeth
There's no more to eat, but we continue to feed
Through the veins
Sloughing off the dead and rotting, useless things

The end's at hand somehow…
Powerless to stop it now…

Does it even strike you?
Will you let it bring you to your knees?
Has it hit you?
So telling… that is what it means

Medicate this plague
Destroy the parasites with wind and with disease
Press delete
With flame and skies and seas, to equalize this breech
We are the blight, the fleeting goodbye
There's no more to take, but we continue to try
Fight in vain
Flex with all your might, in sheer futility

Dig them out
Wash them out
Burn them out
Cut them out

That's what it means…
That's what it means…


9. WASTED WORLD

Eyes see only lies
And what is situated right in front and
Try to circumvent the fading memories
And what they meant

I, so despise
The lack of all ability
To change the kinds of things
We've done already

*you are living in a wasted world*

Spines are fixed at C,
Walking forward, never looking what's behind
Staring at one distant point
And never stepping out of line

You can't ignore the signs these times are sending
Oh. you're leaving everything that stops the ending

You're living in a wasted world
You've shattered all of wisdom's pearls
You're living in a wasted world
You're living in a wasteland, a wasteland

I, so despise
The lack of all ability
To change the kinds of things
We've done already

Oh, you can't ignore the signs these times are sending
Oh, you're leaving everything that stops the ending

You're living in a wasted world
You've shattered all of wisdom's pearls
You're living in a wasted world
You're living in a wasteland, a wasteland

You're living in a wasted world
You've shattered all of wisdom's pearls
You're living in a wasted world and
You're living in a wasteland, a wasteland

Wasteland! In a wasteland! In a wasted world! In a wasteland!


10. CRUCIFY (TORI AMOS COVER)

(No lyrics available)


11. DETRITIVORE

Since it began, you survived on the backs of the weak
The more it's passed, the sweeter taste is achieved
A vulture bolting scraps of his meat
He's bloated and pleased…
He's bloated and pleased.

Seeking the tenderest parts as the bones fall away
You're the pretender with the pungent smell of decay
A broken palate with all the flavors astray
An acrid bouquet…

Who were you putting on?
Never had it all along
And thought you were the one big thing…

So tell me I'm wrong if you're not too wasted
You bottom feeding bitch,
And that's all you've tasted
It's never enough,
You'd think you'd get creative
Devouring and constantly sateless

Laying low just to dine
An appetite in decline

Repulsion repeats and the inner disgust starts to fade
A full blown addict, your habits get in the way
Ignore the maggots, but they're crawling over your face,
And they're likely to stay…

That part of you is gone
Never had it all along
And thought you were the next big thing…

So tell me I'm wrong if you're not too wasted
You bottom feeding bitch, and that's all you've tasted
It's never enough, you'd think you'd get creative
Devouring and constantly sateless

No idea what remorse is,
Feeding from the hapless corpses,
Like a feast set with four courses,
Sup from death

Detritivore! Detritivore!
Say no more! Say no more!
Detritivore! Detritivore!

It's never enough…. It's never enough…

12. The World Will End With Us

It feels like a kick in the face
Lying in the beds we're supposed to have made
See…
So I'm feeding my doubt
And I've figured it out
That the “we” aren't the ones that count

After everything is lost to me
After everyone I know's deceased
After all the days are done for me
After bringing on the entropy

Dead visions all in gray
Dine on ashes that we've made
Blind to every yesterday
Till the pieces fall away

It feels like a hole in my head
Witness to the proles, when their reason has fled
And they…
Put a crack in the earth
And a hole in the dirt
And the blood that was black as it bleeds is red

After everything is lost to me
After everyone I know's deceased
After all the days are done for me
After bringing on the entropy

Dead visions all in gray
Dine on ashes that we've made
Blind to every yesterday
Till the pieces fall away

Gone! Gone! Gone!
And the blood that was black as it bleeds is red

After everything is lost to me
After everyone I know's deceased
After all the days are done for me
After welcoming the entropy

Dead visions all in gray
Dine on ashes that we've made
Blind to every yesterday
Till the pieces fall away

Dead visions all in gray
Dine on ashes that we've made
Blind to every yesterday

Till the pieces fall away


13. A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE SPIRIT AND DUST
