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

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

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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
