I see the fire
Burning Low, Burning Cold.
I do not hear the wind
Carrying the whispers of the young.
They are all gone
Dreams are all gone.
I see the fire
Burning Low, Burning Cold.
I do not hear the wind
Carrying the whispers of the young.
They are all gone
Dreams are all gone.
I feel the fire no more
It has burned low
Along this Heartless road
It has burned low
Become a heartless road.
Can't find the pain
In the song no more,
I travel on burning cold.
Can't feel the heat
In the minds of the young,
They talk on but the fires have all gone.
I feel the fire no more
It has burned low
Along this Heartless road
It has burned low
Become a Heartless road.
I see the fire
Burning Low, Burning Cold.
I do not hear the wind
Carrying the whispers of the young.
They are all gone
Dreams are all gone.
I feel the fire no more
It has burned low
Along this Heartless road
It has burned low
Become a heartless road.

THE REVENGE
Oh my God can you help me
For I no longer feel no use,
Oh my God please forgive me
For I no longer see no truth
I see no truth in you.
CH:
You took my home and I have nothing left
You took my dog and I have nothing left
You stole my woman and I have nothing left
For me... (to Love)
Oh my God can you hear me
I no longer need your bread,
Oh my Lord don't dessert me
from all this noise in my head
To much noise in my head.
CH:
Oh my Lord I've been thinking
Maybe I should kill you now,
But I know you'll see me coming
See my designs long before
I even get close to your town.
CH:
So my God I'll remember
To drink your poison wine,
And while I'm eating your body
I'll remember all your crimes
Every one of your crimes.
CH:

Father

Father
One:
Won't you rest with me
In my sacred grove
Where our love can only grow.
Won't you be with me
With one sacred heart
Let me play the Father's part.
Won't you lay with us
One of the chosen few
Become beautiful and true.
Ch:
Can't you see me here
Stranded in fear, wreathed in flame
I'm your ever loving son.
I'm prepossessed
To cower grotesque at your tombstone words
All I ever need is love.
I can't feed off the vine that you place there keep me
All your decadent words seem to twist and corrode me
And the world looks on confused at my being
I'm screaming at clouds, I'm cloud-busting, screaming
For they're the only powers that your love has gifted
This single emotion a failure a misfit.
Two:
Let me hold you fast
Feel the warmth of your need
So you'll never leave.
Let me teach you greed
So you'll never get enough
Hungry for your Father's love.
CH:
Can't you see me here
Stranded in fear, wreathed in flame
I'm your ever loving son.
I'm prepossessed
To cower grotesque at your tombstone words
All I ever need is love.
I can't feed off the vine that you place there keep me
All your decadent words seem to twist and corrode me
And the world looks on confused at my being
I'm screaming at clouds, I'm cloud-busting, screaming
For they're the only powers that your love has gifted
This single emotion a failure a misfit.
Three:
Let me hold you down
With disgust at how you feed
Blame the devil for what I've achieved.
Half Ch:
I can't feed off the vine that you place there keep me
All your decadent words seem to twist and corrode me
And the world looks on confused at my being
I'm screaming at clouds, I'm cloud-busting, screaming
For they're the only powers that your love has gifted
This single emotion a failure a misfit.

The Fields
Mankind's Lament:
I grind all day, I grind all day
He's over my shoulder waiting for me to fail.
I see the sunrise, I see it die
It bleeds into my skin and it burns my eyes.
One:
The Fields are burning
I can smell it in the air,
The woman beside is turning
And the Devil is standing there.
The fields are burning,
I can feel it in my soul,
The woman beside me is sighing
And the Devil just wont go.
"What's wrong"? he says
"Do i fill you with fear"?
"There's enough outside and there's enough beside you
To terrify you for years".
He says, "The fields are burning
Of this I'm sure you know.
The woman beside you is hurting
And there's no cure to be known".
Two:
You're a good man", he says.
"And your woman is fine".
"She just despairs at the evil I weave
As she remembers me as serpentine".
My heart stops beating
As his eyes start to flame,
My veins surge with a power disturbed
As he whispers to me his name.
He breathes "I am many"
"Tho' you see me as one".
"And while your brothers flee in all directions
They burn as a single son".
"But I am not your anguish
You do not need me for pain".
"I am the deceiver,
For you needed someone to blame".
Lament reprise:
I grind all day
I grind all day
I grind all day.
I grind all day
i grind all day
i grind all day.

Woman's Lie
03:44

Woman's lie
One:
I held you like a child
But your father was not by your side.
I gave my love like the lamb
But my heart was not your mother's hand.
You lay there naked like you can't afford to smile
Lost and reliant
You had mastered
The woman's shine.
Two:
You caressed me like the breeze
But there were no witnesses but you and me.
You gave all you had
Then recoiled with a bitten hand.
I lay there naked not knowing my crime
Inviting but defiant
You had mastered
The woman's lie.
Three:
We come on like a storm
Like the mountain range could be our stage
And we could not be warned
As we spun our webs and struck our chords.
We devoured it all.
The summer's blaze until winter came.
We lay there naked like the first of our kind
Disgusted at my weakness
Terrified by
The woman's mind.

Red Rabbit

Red Rabbit
One:
Little Red Rabbit running through the trees
Enjoying the grass and the shimmering leaves,
She's loving the sun and the blurring speed
My heart pounds in time with her whirling feet.
Like a ball of fire around the Devil's steed,
She burns the air
As she passes me.
Two:
She thinks about the diver and what the Egg revealed
She thinks about the Beetle and what it's dung concealed,
Wondering when the mystery will yield
And save her from Humanity's wheel.
Curiosities cry while phantasms lead,
She burns the air
And the world beneath.
Three:
She sees the Ram and the Lion and the Eagle and the Bear,
She's wondering why she isn't standing up there.
The Hawk cries wisdom and the Lions roars.
She's wondering what the hell she's been put here for.
But like the ball of fire she truly is,
She keeps burning on,
Just trying to clear the mist.
Chorus:
Oh world look at this girl
Look at her trying to run,
She's a burning pyre and her fuse is wired
She's trying to outshine the sun
I see her run.
Red Rabbit Run
Red Rabbit Run
Red Rabbit Run.
Four:
Little Red Rabbit sees a nation on it's knees.
The waters rise while the angels sleep.
Their trumpets silent their benefits are reaped
They hear no cry from the waiting sheep.
No longer care no longer protect
Seems like survival
Is going to prove
A solo project.
Five:
Little Red Rabbit feels she's running out of time.
Scarred from fuelling her perpetual fire.
She's burnt everything at least a hundred times
Bedding the world in the ash of the Phoenix lie.
He'll never return he'll never rise.
Maybe it's time
To take on
A new design.
Chorus:
Oh world look at this girl
Look at her trying to run,
She's a burning pyre and her fuse is wired
She's trying to outshine the sun
I see her run.
Red Rabbit Run
Red Rabbit Run
Red Rabbit Run.
Six:
Little Red Rabbit running down a hole.
She eats real big and she drinks real small.
Losses her slipper at the daemon ball.
Needs to find a name to save her soul.
There are times alchemy doesn't seem so wise.
And just maybe
There's to much truth
Sometimes.
Outro:
Oh world look at this girl look at her trying to run
Oh world look at this girl look at her trying to run
Oh world look at this girl look at her trying to run.

No Way

No Way:
One:
I said there was No Way
You would break me down
Cripple my hands into fossils
Numb my ears to your sound,
I said No Way.
I said No Way.
Two:
Then I saw all the concrete rising
Reaching like a creature with its claws
Enlisting men into it's belly
Devouring their souls with their laws,
I said No Way.
I said No Way.
Chorus:
Then I saw a thousand men drowning
Holding their families above their heads
I saw the price you put on life
I saw the life you put on death
I saw the horses drowning in their harnesses
I saw the women I saw the carnage
I thought of Sodom I thought of Atlantis
I wondered what would come after this.
Verse Three:
I said there was no way
You would forget my name
Pass me by un-noticed
Forget to tend to my flame
I said No Way.
I said No Way.
Four:
Then I saw all the money lenders gambling
With their aces up their sleeves
I saw the shadows that they cast
They told of despair and of grief,
I said No Way.
I said No Way.
Chorus:
Then I saw a thousand men drowning
Holding their families above their heads
I saw the price you put on life
I saw the life you put on death
I saw the horses drowning in their harnesses
I saw the women I saw the carnage
I thought of Sodom I thought of Atlantis
I wondered what would come after this.
I said No Way
I said No Way
Chorus:
Then I saw a thousand men drowning
Holding their families above their heads
I saw the price you put on life
I saw the life you put on death
I saw the horses drowning in their harnesses
I saw the women I saw the carnage
I thought of Sodom I thought of Atlantis
I wondered what would come after this.
I said No Way
I said No Way
I said No Way
I said No Way

Black Metal

|
Black Metal
One:
We saw the cruelty of the day
The murders of the night.
We kept count of all the ones that lay
Still within our sight.
The terror and the anger grew
Until it inflamed all our minds.
And together we made a vow
That they would burn for all their crimes.
Two:
They took our earth they took our fire
They breathed the deadly breath.
Breathed life into the Black Metal
Another tool at your request.
For Black Metal they raped us
For this bounty they see us dead.
For communication they stop our mouths
And they paint our fields red.
Chorus:
Lay down your children
Lay them at our feet,
Who sees our homeland
Tainted by your greed.
Three:
They cage us with unseen walls
And divert our natural step.
They give us what is not theirs to give
And take what the earth should have kept.
Chorus:
Lay down your children
Lay them at our feet,
Who sees our homeland
Tainted by your needs.
Lay down your children
Lay them at our feet,
Who sees our homeland
Tainted by your needs.

Comfort Body

|
Comfort Body
The Crows await their melody
He's coming home again,
Outside the light will glow
Red and Gold again.
The breaking of a symmetry
An unmet friend
Outside the clouds will roll
And the sheep will roar again.
But he's coming out
Like a mandolin
And he's breaking down
Like a bleeding stone
He's breaking down colours I've never known.

Ghost Machines

Ghost Machines
One:
We hear the Ghost Machines
Crawling through our world,
We see the rising dust and heat
We see the smoke screens
Peel away
To reveal the blood rain.
Two:
We see the incoming light
Breaking through cloud,
Crashing metal through the night
Earth moves under skies
Cold and damned
Consumes the broken land.
segment:
I hear that you lay sleeping
And you love your bloodline,
Do you want them to breath death ?
I know you cannot really mean it
But if you don't it's just mayhem,
Either way it'll prove the end.
You share your ill earned wisdom
Through scriptures that are misread,
You perpetuate the plague.
All the grovelling and snarling
Of the hounds that await your word,
Drown the screams of the maimed,
They are the titans of the age.
Three:
We see the Ghost Machines
Crawling through our world,
We see the rising dust and heat
We see the smoke screens
Peel away
To reveal the blood rain.
Four:
We see the incoming light
Breaking through cloud,
Crashing metal through the night
Earth moves under skies
Cold and damned
Consumes the broken land.
segment:
All the money is moving
A shining symbol for the New World,
The Order has been changed.
You want war between the newborn
Sabotage and sudden death,
A sinkhole for the lame.
One father for the new earth
Oh I think I see it all now,
I see Adam as the vine.
Vegetable, sensitive, intelligent
You're moving from the third state
Leaving humanity behind,
I see that history abides.

All Fears

All Fears
One:
I used to play the believer
Placing hopes in forever,
While I searched from behind a window.
And I could not reflect just stand there and swallow,
While the flood showed no signs of leaving.
And I know I'm afraid
And it's just people's games
But we all can't hide here.
Two:
I see they've positioned
Their cannons in tradition,
While their targets are soaring the city.
And I can't read their hopes
Nor understand their missions,
i just know they're killing you and me.
And I know you're afraid
As you kneel in your blame.
Chorus:
Oh I need all your love
But I can't feel your hand,
Oh I need all your trust
But I can't see the plan
Oh I need to leave here.
Three:
I played with confessions
Like they were petitions,
Almost proud of the laws I've wrecked.
And I wanted scars to soothe
As if they were paths to truth,
But I just lie here now grotesque.
And I know I'm afraid
Of this venomous plague,
My passions are all but dead.
Chorus:
Oh I need all your love
But I can't feel your hand,
Oh I need all your trust
But I can't see the plan
Oh I need to leave here.
Four:
I used to play the believer
Placing hopes in forever,
While I searched from behind a window.
And I could not reflect just stand there and swallow,
While the flood showed no signs of leaving.
And I know I'm afraid
And it's just people's games

I Want Heaven
One:
I saw you leave prepare to go
Ready yourself for the road
I've been waiting for you to move
I've been waiting my life through.
But I won't tell
I won't tell a soul.
Chorus:
So take me with you.
Take me with you.
Two:
I saw you pardon a sinning girl
Brave the graves of a diseased town,
You broke the laws and spoke the truth
And now I hear they're after you.
But I won't tell
I won't tell a soul.
Chorus:
Please take me with you
Take me with you.
Take me with you.
Take me with you.
Three:
I see you prepare to go
Ready yourself for a higher road
You say"Kiss my cheek I have a plan,
I'm going to save every man".
But I won't tell
You say you love my soul.
Chorus:
So please take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me.
