1. PUNISHMENTS

In this town only one word rules,
the young were taught back in sunday school.
But a lady will train a select few,
a lesson in life they know it's taboo.
He was young and eager to be taught,
and she led him without a second thought.
But he found more than what he was looking for,
something to enjoy and deplore

Lust shows...Reason goes

This is where is virgin feelings show
In her head corrupted lust flows
Yhis is an education he'll never outgrow
Sometimes it's hard to learn to let go

Soon he beganto see her strange ways,
never understanding, just enjoying his short stays.
He listened to her moan in the throes of sin.
Little did he know she wasn't thinking of him.
One day he plegded his love to her ...
She asked him for a special favor.
They had done some things (that were) beyond reason
But to kill her sort of spoiled the fun.

Lust shows...Reason goes

This is where is virgin feelings show
In her head corrupted lust flows
She's hanging their waiting for the death blow
Sometimes it's hard to let go

Ten years later in the paper he read...
She had made the headlines naked and dead.
But he hadn't flinched at what the paper said
He had a new girl (now) he kept in a box at the end of his bed

Sometimes it's hard to see, why people like you and me.
Can never understand, sex ain't so grand.
When a relationship, feels like a vice grip...
and the feelings you hide, start to burn inside



2. WOODWITCH

This is man's pride and this is man's soul.
Beneath the shadows the woodwitch grows.
Below, inside...within one own.
Wher no man should dare to go.
Between these - Shrouded hills
He has come - To rebuild

Shadows fall - Beneath the woodwitch calls
Inside the dead live - Inside his mind hides
Woodwitch calls - Between this cabin walls
She tried to take you - They tried to break you

Can you feel the pride they hold
Brings out the heat from within the cold
For only minutes this charm is bestowed
To spill the seed till another is grown
In the remains - There lies a seed
To spawn a life - That'll sent him free

Shadows fall - Beneath the woodwitch calls
Inside the dead live - Inside his maggots cry
Woodwitch calls - Between this cabin walls
She tried to take you - They tried to break you

Can you feel the heat he gives
Coming from this manly gift
Knowing now, it's never too late
To be a man and set things straight
To contain his pride... Was his goal
But this path leads ... To disgrace once more



3. THE MIRROR

"This song is not an accusation, this is a statement.
The mirror never lies."



4. DISTATE

Amongst friends alone
Images fading in and out
A baleful haze surrounds me
What is this I Feel
Don't want to take it in

Wait...Face...Stand...Look
Inside I feel it squirm
The ceiling closes in
What's happening
The sense that it's behind me
Wait...Face...Stand...Look
Wait...what do I feel
I think...it's not me

I see the hatred through the haze
And yet no one sees him there
They just turn their heads away
And pretend there's nothing there
They tell me "To judge is wrong"
That "I don't understand"
I don't have to llok far to see
They speak in broad terms & ignore this tragedy

EQUAL...is what you want
I WONDER ...when you're drunk
NEVER...when you play
(their) GAMES...built for this

So this is what I came here for ?
I don't this I can play your game
You may not agree with what I say
None of us are perfect in every way
Sometimes you learn to draw the line
And this is where I'll draw mine
I might get hurt if I play with luck
But pains beats ignorance you hypocritical fucks.



5. RE-RELEASE

It was Laura and I saw her glowing in the dark woods.
I saw her crying
We were crying and I saw her laughing
In our sadness, I saw her dancing.
It was Laura living in my dreams.
It was Laura the glow of life.
Her smile was to say it was alright to cry.
The woods was ous sadness.
The dance was her calling.
It was Laura and she came to kiss me goodbye.
RELEASE...
