The Great Leap Forward
05:49
|
|||
Glacier ice melts on a lake of fire
Chemicals rain across the land
All manner of life at our disposal
Deprived wherever we stand
Went from an ape to a great leap forward
So to gather the stones
And the bones of dead martyrs
Keeping women at home
While we roam out to secure a smarter way to rule
Over everything we see
We think we have it all
The key to open Babylon
We fail to stand as one
A division of our own
Lost sight of the great leap forward
Signs all around
And all around are ignored
How are we gonna make things better?
We oughta know
But do we ever?
Wealth increases with every season
Resources consumed day by day
No gods to justify our reasons
Never listened to what They had to say
Afraid to believe we cannot achieve the glory
Of the crushing of man
The raping of land
The story of how once we got taste
We took haste in making ourselves a divine fucking waste
Of our pathetic lives
We think we have it all
The key to open Babylon
We fail to stand as one
A division of our own
Lost sight of the great leap forward
Signs all around
And all around are ignored
How are we gonna make things better?
We oughta know
But do we ever?

Halfway
03:13
|

Your teeth are burning in my skin
Your blood is starting to seep in
Your favourite sin is in my head
Your vile disease is mine instead
I am a slave to every whim
I am your greatest living victim
Still trying to break free
From what you keep doing to me
Held down by the tightest little rope
Held together by a memory of home
But I’ll break myself in two
Half away from you
The world is closing up to me
I am succumbing to your needs
My life has never been my own
You make me yours and yours alone
Held down by the tightest little rope
Held together by a memory of home
But I break myself in two
Half away from you
Held down by the venom in your sting
Held together by the shortest piece of string
I still crave the things you do
Half in love with you

Monster
05:53
|
|||
I’m the last real monster in the world
Left to live in silence
Waiting for another day
I’m the last real lover in the world
Challenging all that you believe
Tempting the possibility
I am the crack in the image of your god
Scared, angry, frail and flawed
You can’t bear to face the other side
With no one to hide behind
I am the ultimate offer
To your unreal lives
I’m the last real monster in the world
It took ’til now to realize
Your human heart beats with His lies
I am the crack in the image of your god
Scared, angry, frail and flawed
You can’t bear to face the other side
With no one to hide behind
In a world shattered by decay
I turn from god
I walk away

Breaking Of Tides
03:55
|
|||
Open the door to the world outside
Don’t leave the dogs pulling their chains at night
A red sky crashes on false pretence
The breaking of tides doesn’t make much sense
A piercing noise carried in the air
The anguish all stripped from our despair
Fury shakes the leaves of bended boughs
Forgotten are the freedoms once were allowed
Fields are scorched in withered crop
Oceans wrung dry of every drop
Plague born out of the filth & grime
Fault-lines test the stand of time
Wipe the tears of reflecting on a life gone wrong
Find prayer to ease the passing on
Strangers walk away with arms out wide
And nothing will stay the breaking tide

The Universal Truth
03:29
|
|||
Straps and wet leather on the floor
Straddled on a chair
An empty girl is wearing nothing more
The scent of pleasure in the air
Braided down her spine
The dark black hair
Drives me crazy every time
I cannot leave this burning room
(gone mad hot touch of promised youth)
Her sex the universal truth
Her silken skin the sweetest cream
It doesn’t seem to her
A sin to blur the subtle and extreme
I somehow need all of this
She finds a way to make
The vicious ache subside with every kiss
I cannot leave this burning room
(gone mad hot touch of promised youth)
Her sex the universal truth

Masochist
04:40
|
|||
Some people tell me it’s for the best
You were just another torment
Like all the rest
Everybody seems to think we weren’t meant to be
But I try not to believe them
The masochist in me
You’ve got the characteristics of hate
Written on your face
You’ve got unjustified belief in your own self worth
And convince me I’m the disgrace
You make me think I would die without you
If we should ever be apart
And I listen
Goddam it I listen
I’m such a masochist at heart
Does it make you feel good?
Does it make you feel so good?
In the end you were nothing more
Than a manipulating damage whore

The Virtuous
06:49
|
|||
Your face
Your smile
Your touch
Your youth
Your eyes
Your tears
Your lips
Your kiss
Your heat
Your sex
Your love
Your dreams
Your everything
Your colour
Your fear
Your lust
Your being here
Your throat
Your tongue
Your taste
Your things I can’t replace
Your everything
Your trust
Your truth
Your attitude
Your faith in god
Your man
Your dog
Your toys
Your torment &
Your trash
Everything
Your past
Your shadows
Your ghosts
Your empty womb
Your life
Your crime
Your heaven-hell
Grave death ashes
& everything
Your subtle disease has ended up
In me
Your loving lies that I want to believe
The things I thought we were meant to be
Are just nothing
All you left is a bleeding mass
Of scar tissue & memory
And in the end there’s nothing else
In the end there’s nothing else for me

Another Day (revelation)
05:02
|
|||
The doors are locked
The curtains drawn
Father’s in the back
Putting bullets in the gun
The moon hangs low
The sun has died
The fire from another world
Is making its way inside
The children cry
The mothers weep
And you and I
Prepare ourselves for sleep
It’s another day
The streets awash
In rising tide
Demons seek out
Every place we hide
The heavens bleed
The tears of hell
And only the two left standing
Will live to tell
On another day
