1. DISOWNED INC.

I can feel you far away, your hesitation matching mine.
Sadness left me far away yea,
Your contemplation turn to wine
An old man stairs at me
Mutual bizarre memory

Laugh at thy neighbor
Pretend you are sane, just the same
You survived in pain

Love thy neighbor
Pretend you are sane just the same,
You survived in pain

Time is the father of existence
My brother of resistance
Looking down by man in their crazy mind

Joy is the mother of our existence
Where is the sister of persistence
Staring down the elusive sky.

Devotion of the devotion
Euphoric scriptures of the ocean

Laugh at they neighbour
Pretend you are sane just the same

You survived in vain

Time is the father of existence
My brother of resistance
Who can count by man in their crazy mind?
Euphoria is the father of no distance.
Withering sister of persistence
Stripping down there the elusive sky.

I felt so alone
Till you came in my life
And stopped the pain
I felt so alone then you came into my life
And poured the rain
I feel so alone dressed in the dark silk clothing of your own distain
I feel so disowned since your children took our arms in your own name.

God sings different in every language.
God sings different in every language.

Bombs envision compulsive solution
Gods speak different in every language.
Bombs envision compulsive solution
God speaks different in every language.


2. BORDERS ARE

Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Borders are the gallows
Of our collective national egos
Subjective, lines in sand
In the water, separating everything

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Here's my song for the free
No, it's not about praise and publicity
Corprotocracy, what a hypocrisy
Aristocrasy versus democracy

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now
We're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise
We're merely covering our feet

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely covering our feet

Your gods are dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely cowering in defeat

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go


3. DESERVING ?

I don't deserve you
Why can't you see?
I will desert you
Why don't you leave?

But you put your faith in me, one last time
You , you put your faith in love all the time.


4. BEAT US

Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul
Memories connect them all to her
Have i lost you again, possibly amidst forever
The strong winds have shaken me inside

When you touch me, i feel it
When you touch me, i feel you

You've become my addiction
My mental preoccupied obsession
To hear your voice i extend toward the sun
Eating makes me think of you
This city has become your face
Strangling myself in my silence

When you touch me, i feel it
When you touch me, (i feel you)
When you touch me, i feel it
When you touch me, (i feel you)

I feel it... I feel it... I feel it...

Have i lost you again, with the possibility of forever
The strong winds have shaken me inside
The sun barely giving of herself
I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
Lock this before it's gone
Winds have shaken me inside
The sun barely giving of herself
I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
Lock this before it's gone

The collaboration and association
Hear the story of another woman in time
Giving permission for buying a gift
For the bearer of the selfish
(when you touch me)

Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul
Memories connect them all to her
Eating makes me think of you
This city has become your face
Strangling myself in my silence

When you touch me, i feel it
When you touch me, (i feel you)
When you touch me, i feel it
When you touch me, (i feel you)

I feel it... When you touch me...


5. RECONSTRUCTIVE DEMONSTRATION

They say women cry when walls retire
They say that men die when laws retire when laws retire

Unconventional deconstructive conversations
(Teach us how to eat)
I will never let you go
Conversational reconstructive demonstrations
(Teach us how to speak)
Why, confess the final blow

Teach us how to eat from your broken hands
'Cause nothing seems to grow
Teach us how to speak the language of your only dreams

No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees

I forgot to pray; you forgot to say please
(Kill me), I never let you go
I forgot to go; you forgot to know me
(Teach us how to speak), why confess the final blow

Teach us how to eat from your broken hands
'Cause nothing seems to grow
Teach us how to speak the language of your only dreams

No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
Blindness serves not god nor man
So we are falling into disease
We're falling into disease
I'm falling I'm falling… We're falling…
Into… into disease… disease, disease…
We've fallen

No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
Blindness serves not god nor man
So we are falling into disease
Disease


6. ELECTRON

We follow the ever-falling rain
Electrons Protons fight again
So, we run
We follow the ever-rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then, we fly
We fly in our dreams ever so bold
Swimming the seas covered with gold
Behold, proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the gods
Amidst the time of men at odds
See, believe!

Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright

Grapevines of thoughts lining the skies
Overwhelmingly of demise
So, we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life force
Then, we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I-Ching
With the spirit that moves through all things
Now, we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be the way to survive
Life, released

Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright, Storm shines bright
So bright


7. GATE 21

The love that you bring
You bring me alone
The pain that you give
Gives me a home

Do you wanna stay by my side
Do you want me to turn and hide
We are disappearing inside
Seeing pictures of our goodbyes

When we, we believe
That our love will survive
The pain that you bring
It brings me all alone

Do you love me,
Do you hate me,
Do you wanna believe me,
Do you think that you don't need me
Do you wanna deceive me

I can't take that, it's all over don't want to forget
I can take the disappointment down, I want to repress your

Goodbye...
Goodbye...

The design, we broke the mold
The dreams when you see, that goodbyes aren't for long

Please follow me
To the borders of destiny
I don't want to break from your side
The falling ground screams... goodbye

Please follow me
To the borders of destiny
I don't want to break from your side
The falling ground screams... goodbye

Goodbye...
Goodbye...
The design, we broke the mold
The dreams when you see, that goodbyes aren't for long


8. YES, IT’S GENOCIDE (traduction)

I want to die for your (plural) terror
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your life

I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your death
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life

I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your death
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life

I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your death
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life


9. PEACE BE REVENGED

Where are we to go?
How can we survive?
When the falling rain seems to cease we will all have to go.

Where are we to go?
How can we survive?
When the falling rain seems to cease we will all go.
We have built our lives without nature in mind.
So that we've become the disease but we wont go.
Those that survive can end with our life
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged

Once we used to hear but like footsteps appear
now we have no fear and in turn will disappear
We have built our lives without nature in mind
So that weve become the disease but we wont go
Those that survive can end with our life
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged

when the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love

When your fears mix with brain wash erosions dear
I wont be here then, you wont be here when
when the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When your fears mix with brain wash erosions dear

Just watch the rain
Just watch the rain
rain watch the rain
Just watch the rain
Just watch the rain
rain watch the rain

Where do we go?
How do we meet you?


10. LEFT OF CENTER

Are we a fantasy
Swimming in theocracy
We are far from holy
The wholeness of one
Repeat after me
We lost the key of sight
Now blind, we fear in flight
We are far from love
But silence is golden
Please observe

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

If today I die
And can not deny
The life that I lived for what I say
Now befit myself in time
No time to die or kill
No structures of a pyramid
No trained horses to arise
Surmise my position
My words define

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

We go forward
We go backward
Living, dying
We're dying, we're living
We're living, we're dying
We're crying, we're seeing
We're living, we're breathing
Dying, seeing

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
Bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far


11. WINGS OF SUMMER

Well, I, I, wanna fly fly
On the wings, wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes
You put your eyes on mine

Go, perfect your fall
And no matter what
Smile for them all
For today, we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads forever

I, I wanna fly
On the wings, of summer
But you, put your eyes, on mine
I, I want to fly
On the wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes, on mine

Don't confess to the crime
Till you lavish in your concubine
When you think you got clever
They'll wheel you in and pull the lever

Now I, I want to fly
On the wings, of summer
But you, put your eyes, on mine
Now I, I'm going to fry
'Cause I ran over the guy with a Hummer
But you, put your eyes, eyes on the divine
Now I, I want to fly, fly on the wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes, you put your eyes on mine

When you think that it's all over
They'll clip your wings and make you roll over
To perfect your great fall
No matter what smile for them all
For today we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads forever
For today we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads
