1. DR. STEIN

Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
Now he’s making better ones on a higher step

On a warm summer day the doctor went away
To a place where he could make it real
His assistant’s hips were nice
So he cloned her once or twice
Now his hips are aching
What a deal!

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Let’s them run into the night
They become great rock musicians
And their time is right

Time is right!

Sometimes when he’s feeling bored he’s calling it a day
He’s got his computers and they do it their own way

They mix some DNA
Some skin and a certain spray
You can watch it on a laser screen
And the fellow’s blue and grey
Or sometimes pink and green
Just check it out on Halloween

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Let’s them run into the night
They become great politicians
And their time is right

One night he cloned himself
Put his brother on a shelf
But when he fell asleep that night
It crept up from behind
And thought: “Well never mind!”
Took a syringe and blew out his life

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Let’s them run into the night
They become a great possession
And their time is right

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
Let’s them run into the night
They become a great oppression
And their time is right

Time is right!
Time is right!
Time is right!


2. FALLING AWAY

Someone take this cold from me
And let my mind run free it used to be
Easy to deal with the everyday shit
Now it seems I’m all alone to deal with it

Take me away from here
Falling away
Falling away from the fear
It seems too near it feels too real
Have to find out why
And cut this cancer from my life

No one there to hear the inner cry
Only I can watch me die inside
I live alone among a crowded world
I can’t forgive myself this weakness
Sets my pride to burn

I can’t believe I find a way
To make it through this hell everyday
Slip slipping my reality slips away
Sleep sleeping it seems the only way

Take me away from here
Falling away
Falling away from the fear
It seems too near it feels too real
Have to find out why
And cut this cancer from my life

Now it seems there is a way
To shed this pain from my brain and walk away
I found an ally who is strong as I
I need no other to get me by
Inner me, inner me, I am he
I and I set me free
I must control the pain
Just for another day

Take me away from here
Falling away
Falling away from the fear
It seems too near it feels too real
Have to find out why
And cut this cancer from my life


3. THE WIDDERSHIN’S JIG

A wise man’s son and Wednesday’s child in each other found a friend
And searched together for the treasure hiding at the rainbow’s end

To wise man’s son and Wednesday’s child all is white that is not black
They dance in symbiotic deadlock one step forward two steps back
Playing karmic snakes and ladders (all your sins will find you out)
When all your gains are lost in vain on cosmic wings and roundabouts

At the roadside manhood’s flower
Blighted by a wayward youth
Has cast its seed on well-worn pathways
Borne on winds of whispered truth
We march to drums of our own choosing
Each of them keeps different time
As you are free to live your own life
So I am free to live mine

Now wise man’s son and Wednesday’s child can recognize their own mistakes
And to these ends they make amends for every promise that they break

Both wise man’s son and Wednesday’s child view the world in red and green
Await the day when they die laughing, thinking of the sights they’ve seen
I tell you now if they were given chance to live their lives again
Wise man’s son and Wednesday’s child would make the same mistakes as then

At the roadside manhood’s flower
Blighted by a wayward youth
Has cast its seed on well-worn pathways
Borne on winds of whispered truth
We march to drums of our own choosing
Each of them keeps different time
As you are free to live your own life
So I am free to live mine


4. DREAM HEALER

Who will creep inside your mind a night?
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can’t see?
While you’re awake but in your dreams?

Out of a world
We call the twilight zone he comes
Out of a world
Where all your reason is a lie

Dream healer
He makes you see what you can’t see
Dream healer
Reflecting your identity

Shout at the morning when the red sunrise awakes
The call of reality is all you hear
Gaze at the stars when the night comes down again
Then you begin to see through all of your fears

Out of a world
Where you can see what is inside
Out of a world
Where all your reason is a lie

Dream healer
He makes you see what you can’t see
Dream healer
Reflecting your identity

I see red and I see blue
I see green and I see yellow
Yellow lights
One day black
Another day white
He’s one day quiet
Another day he calls my name

He’s comin’ out
He’s comin’ out
He’s comin’ out
He’s comin’ out

Listen to dreams
They always tell you the truth
Listen to dreams
It is your heart that’s speakin’ to you
Listen, listen, listen to the dream healer


5. BLACKBERRY SATURDAY

It’s a Blackberry Saturday and the sidewalks wet with heat
Our pigmentation’s melting and slides into the streets
Impoverished and resentful the hostile forces fly
They’ll tread upon my conscience or kick my ass goodbye

Hatred’s howling through our bones
Fight back those ghosts of stone

Howling up to mournful guilt
Until the rage is...

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows the sorrow

It’s a Blackberry Saturday, sunshine ripens bittersweet
I try to do the right thing but I’m pounded by the beat
It’s high time for the right crime and it’s tearin’ up my mind
Between the victim and the culprit I will walk a bleeding line

Hatred’s howling through our bones
Fight back those ghosts of stone

Howling up to mournful guilt
Until the rage is killed

Blackberry Saturday
Another gonna-shatter-day
Y’copying with the color war and wondrin’ when it’s gonna end
Y’can’t get lower when the change gets slower
It’s getting’ time to go

Blackberry Saturday
Another doesn’t matter day
Your sinling in your sorrow and y’wondrin’ what y’got to say
Y’ can’t get higher when the world’s on fire
It’s gettin’ time to go

No way
No way
No way
No way

No way
No way
No way
No way


6. RIOT OF VIOLENCE

Greedy for blood
Paralyzed by power
The decision to die
Tales of terror
Deep in the corner
Passion to kill
Corpse on the ground
Minds start to chill

A man lies in the corner covered with blood
Bloody wounds on his body, praying for his god
People pass him by but they say:
“Why should we care about him? He will die today!”

Riot of violence
Riot of violence
Riot of violence
Riot of violence

Find your own way
You must go alone
Kill all next to you
They want the throne
The infectious disease
It’s the only life
You’re scared to death
Die by their knife

A man lies in the corner covered with blood
Bloody wounds on his body, praying for his god
People pass him by but they say:
“Why should we care about him? He will die today!”

Brutality and mighty wars
Warriors start to fight
With bombs and guns
The troops have come to extinguish the light
I’d rather not go wild tonight
But I must save myself

On a field littered with corpses
Stands a lonely flower
It reminds the world how it was
But we kicked it away with power

Riot of violence
Riot of violence
Riot of violence
Riot of violence


7. KILLING TECHNOLOGY

Thinking about another project
How the hell are they gonna make it?
Anyway nobody’s gonna object
Even if they make shit

Now you better get wise
Lasers passing through the sky
For me there’s no alternative
This sphere is a bad place to live

Growing technology
Fooling technology
Killing technology!

The star wars have started up
The new invention is coming out
Making a spider web over the atmosphere
To make them sure that we can’t get out of here

Computers controlling your functions
Seems like we got electronic alienation
Trading children for a new kind of robot
Waiting for the old people to disappear

Growing technology
Fooling technology
Killing technology!

Use the killing technology
How can I destroy the enemy?

Security plans are not easy to find
That’s my generation, nonsense time

~ You lose your function ~
~ You’re just a substitute ~
~ You lose your function ~

Glad to see you change
You’ve got automatic moves
Take your pills to have energy
And sit down in your robotic living room

People are gonna progress
Who knows whether we’ll get more or less
Some say it’s the beginning of the end
Some say they’ve got our lives in their hands

Growing technology
Fooling technology
Killing technology!

Use the killing technology
How can I destroy the enemy?

Security plans are not easy to find
That’s my generation, nonsense time

~ You lose your function ~
~ You’re just a substitute ~
~ You lose your function ~

Use the killing technology
How can I destroy the enemy?
Security plans are not easy to find
That’s my generation, nonsense time

Use the killing technology
Use the killing technology

Look at the chaos
How much does it cost?
The circuits gleam
Push this button
Memory runs
You’re gonna pay for this
Ready or not
Ready or not

Tomorrow is the fear
The fear will come from the sky
From behind!

Tomorrow disappears
The fear will come from the sky
From behind!

Tomorrow is the fear
The fear will come from the sky
From behind!

~ We are connected ~
~ We are connected ~
~ We are connected ~
~ We are connected ~


8. DON’T FEAR THE WINTER

Autumn
The time of darkness and decay
Life’s running shorter day by day

Winter has gripped the land in cold caress
He’s all alone and deeply depressed
She’s dead

Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Nothing’s gonna do you harm

Midnight and on the graveyard a storm is raging
The clods of earth hide his whole life
Homeless, who’s lonely now will be for long
The wind will drift him on and on, like the leaves

Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Come with me, there’ll be no harm

A silent might that has moved you
Hear your waters stand still
Striding down to the elder
Soon you’ll meet her again

Autumn
Who’s got the time knows nothing yet?
Who cares? But watchful are the dead

Midnight
It’s hard to face and deeply sad
But you’re asleep so don’t look back
You’re dead

Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Nothing’s gonna do you harm
Don’t you fear the winter
I will keep you safe and warm
Don’t you fear the winter
Come with me, there’ll be no harm


9. MASKED JACKAL

I saw his face on every channel
His slogans in all the papers

I heard people repeat his words
I saw them shouting, his flag in their hands

I saw him making promises
I heard him talk about life
But I saw his fingers too
They were crossed behind his back

Darling of the TV screen
Manipulator of the purse strings
Master of the spoken words
Jackal with connections

Worshipped by the masses
Leader with ulterior motives

(All talk and no do)
(Is neither a good offense or defense)
(Get with it boys and girls)
(Your house needs to be put in order too)

Darling of the TV screen
Manipulator of the purse strings
Master of the spoken words
Jackal with connections

Worshipped by the masses
Leader with ulterior motives

His slate, clean as snow
Covers over his dark past

To be in league with workers
Pictures he loved to see

But I read in his eyes
Promotion, reality
He played his part to the end
Shot leaving a shambles

Darling of the TV screen
Manipulator of the purse strings
Master of the spoken words
Jackal with connections

Worshipped by the masses
Leader with ulterior motives
Worshipped by the masses
Leader with ulterior motives


10. WEEPING WILLOW

Babylon, you must die
In God’s fire
You can’t survive
Hell has arrived

Once a thriving town
Now rubble and ashes
Hungry homeless human
Sitting on ruins

Helplessly crying in the night
Where is the redeemer?
Bloody rivers flow through the dust
No hope in sight

Just to survive
Murder everyday
No remorse
That’s our way
Just to survive
Murder everyday
No remorse
That’s our way

Babylon, you must die
In God’s fire
You can’t survive
Hell has arrived

Once a thriving town
Now rubble and ashes
Hungry homeless human
Sitting on ruins

Helplessly crying in the night
Where is the redeemer?
Bloody rivers flow through the dust
No hope in sight


11. CIRCLE OF TYRANTS

After the battle is over and the sands drunken the blood
All what there remains is the bitterness of delusion

Circle of the tyrants

The immortality of the gods sits at their side
As they leave the walls behind to reach the jewels gleam

Circle of the tyrants

The days have come when the steel will rule
And upon his head a crown of gold

Your hand wields the might
The tyrant’s the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near

I sing the ballads of victory and defeat
I hear the tales of frozen mystery

Your hand wields the might
The tyrant’s the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near

The new kingdoms rise
By the circle of the tyrants
In the land of darkness
The warrior that was me
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
Hunts and war are like everlasting shadows

Where the winds cannot reach
The tyrant’s might was born
And often I look back
With tears in my eyes
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
Hunts and wars are like everlasting shadows


12. ALIEN

It came to earth three years ago from deep in space
A brilliant U.F.O.! I could not believe it

Refuge!
I let it stay with me a while
Stupid!
Now I with that he would go

Alien! Alien!
He’s a drunkard
Alien! Alien!
He ate my food

Consumed my chow ‘til nothing’s left every week
Are you happy now? I cannot avoid it!

Noisy!
He snoops around my private stuff
Porno!
And sold my stack of magazines

Alien! Alien!
He’s a drunkard
Alien! Alien!
He ate my food

He broke into my well stocked fridge and drank my beer
I can’t get really drunk tonight, the stores are closed

Leave now!
You drive me nuts, don’t want you here
Oh no!
He locked the keys in his spacecraft

Alien! Alien!
He’s a drunkard
Alien! Alien!
He ate my food
