Lyrics


1. STRANGER TO SLEEP

Nothing conspired
Disregard
Nothing to see
Disregard, disregard

Heart set afire
Don't let this news scare me
Single yet charred
Forever they burn in strangers to sleep

At the gates where it is kept
Awaits forgiveness for all who slept

Fire and water
Sons and daughters of a seed
Knock and it shall open
This scene is blown wide open
Knock and it shall open
This scene is blown wide
Identified by what is picked from the tree
It ain't the blood
It ain't the blood its the deeds


2. RARELY SMILES

If mother nature was your queen
Tomorrow she would have you dead
Why all the love for the earth and green
If all you are is a nature-killing biped?
(If all you are is a nature-killing biped)
If all you are is a nature-killing biped?

(What's left to say)
(What's left to say)
What's left to say
What's left to say

If love is for the ground you step all over
Is that how you treat your friends too?
Is that a chip of compassion on your shoulder
Or disgust for people like me and you?
Are these just signs of getting older
Or do I not know what the f*** to do?

If mother nature was your queen
Tomorrow she would have you dead
Why all the love for the earth and green
If all you are is a nature-killing biped?

Oh well
What's left to say
What's left to say
What's left to say
What's left to say
Oh well
What's left to say
What's left to say
Oh well
Where are your fucking brains?


3. AT ONE

Mercantile war
Method of old conquest
Next one hundred score
Despots of modern progress
Barreled over by a takeover technique
Into universal conflict

Trampling over provisional plead
Education preparing to power it
The weapons in our hands
Limitless ambition
Burning from either side
A merciless vengeance

Suppression of mind exercise
Gap the rulers and the ruled
Le programme credit card heist
Conductors and game theory tools

The name of the game
Diminish capital sentiment
Another fee for the next man
Works toward the detriment

We thought our heavy hearts were so secret
Turns out what was meant was discontent
What if the real road to win
Had a view from the outside looking in

By every rock upon which my head will rest
Peace of mind held tight gripped to my chest
For the sake of which it is key to this quest
We must do our best to get out of this mess


4. COUNTERPOLAR

World events occur like a movie in your eyes
Take good care your mind not be taken ransom
Onlooker behold a Disney tale disguised
Riding a counterpole left in tandem
Jaws gnash at the tail at the boarder
Once again we're left here to choose
I choose to know the headstone of the corner
The one who the builders refused
The polar fronts are at it once again
In the end the foot stool will be His


5. OCTOPUS THEORY

Out from the wings and onto a path to perfection
Only a projection to justify dirty deeds
On its way to inception
Iniquities reveiled ever so cleverly
That the outcome still be enemy smite enemy
Fallen upon the unguided are set obstacles
The mechanics of free spirit but a lost soul
Free from yourself
Free from your goals
Shackled to the money hole
Only stone cold eyes in a dead place
With walking dead everywhere
Dim redemption peeks through the monitor
So at a blank screen I stare
Through to people with weaponous words
Peaceful and destructive as it occurs
We've heard of this before
And the past proves its real
The stories remind us we are mortal
That's why I wish you were here
To open your eyes if you wish to shine
To glow with me in the deadly cold
Unto the fear we'll show no mercy
Into the next thing we'll have no fear


6. BIRDSEYE

Tell me about the pyramid plan
What is that funny eye thing man?
Is the complete temple the perfected human?
Is the eye the eagle's land?

Facing the west
To beform in unrest
Out of which comes the falcon head
My heart races til repentance
I wish not to save flesh or I'd be dead

Tell me about the pyramid plan
What is that funny eye thing man?
The temple is...

Is the temple the perfected soul?
Seems as though all of our dreams are diminished
Except a hundred score ago
It was finished


7. B COMES A

Lord knows tonight I got the blues
Multiple stabs from flickering patterns
Everybody knows its the tube
Looks like the big old sham got shattered

Tainted messenger with the news
Here's the flash, kiss my ass
Jump in the pool to rinse the wounds
Picture is clear now, stainless on glass

Lord knows tonight I got the blues
Multiple stabs from flickering patterns
Everybody knows its the tube
Looks like the big old sham got shattered
It looks like your big old sham got shattered
Oh yeah

Don't go building up the bad news
A rickety tower falls with the first blow
Always good to have someone to carry the gloom
Crown of thorns
Always good to have someone to carry the gloom
'Cause I can't shake these horns
Don't be knockin' billy bad to spare the woes
Can't shake these horns


8. FREEFORALL FOREVER

I can see
I can see the shift
Looks like year twelve really was a conscious lift
I can see
I can see the split
A schism in faith and flesh
I believe it, I believe it

Cockalorum woos a peaceful dove
Mother and child cease to love
A rooster calls and guards the nest
How many stars shall rise in the west

Like a white stone
A bouquet of stars is thrown
One hundred and eighty degrees away in the other direction
Men took pens and wrote it all down
The motherland deemed them an evil terror
Barbaric and parted from the worldly crown
Providing us with great hope for our heirs
Forefathers, did you really believe in us?
Every man begotten from the waters
Stood coequal to slow erode in rust
Passing down to sons and daughters
Our sovereign albatross

Did you really
Did you really go in for the win?
What was it that was in your heart?
So acquainted with ruling blood kin
You scattered the pieces like a work of art

I can see
I can see the shift
I can see
I can see the split
This is no leak
Nor a timid flow
This is a flood
I turn on the HAM radio
Hearing the faces play on ignorance


9. SURVIVE SUBURBIA

(Comfort inside, comfort inside)
Survive suburbia
(Do something now, do something now)
Survive surburbia
(Do something now, do something now)
Survive suburbia
Oh yeah
What's money anyway?
Survive suburbia
What's money anyway?
