Eine Nacht Der Lebe
03:25
|
|||
the cold breath steams in the coffin of a dead man
his grave marked and made 52 weeks before
the ravens fly before the moon
-as the corpse awakes from final rest too soon
the widow shrieks as he returns home
the son now has a father who is not his own
Once buried-forgotten
heart pure- flesh rotten
and ravens caw in rejoice
he sits and cries alone but can't make noise
Eine Nacht Der Lebe
he walks the streets attracting eyes
he sees his own reflection in a window passing by
doctors won't help him- the bar rejects him
he stumbles slowly back to his moss bedded grave

Human Scorn
03:20
|
|||
if there is a heaven
if there's a God
if he sent his only son to die on a cross
if there's any point to wars and cancer and plagues
please save us father hallowed be thy name
human beings torn apart for leaders like pawns
if atrocities like this continue, how will we go on?
the rich focus their wealth on the stars and beyond
as if to throw away their problems to the earthlings spawn
time and time again history repeats itself
after genocide and famine who will be left to tell?
a patriotic boy believes the lies of the spell
to the front lines he goes to see the living hell
God!
Save us
we are too far gone
we are too far gone
God
save us
in the polar ice caps
a flowers born
atmospheric thinning a result of human scorn
censoring and banning to muffle your voice
you were birthed to this world and you didn't have a choice
democracy-dictatorship it's all the same
Power toys with lives as if it's all a game
you're not a living creature you're a number not a name
they keep our heads down waiting for a 15 minute fame
selling to feed your kin will get you doing time
as our government does the same it's not considered crime
in a new depression landlord's make 10 fold off a dime
they profit off of us and war but kill us off like swine

Before The Storm
01:31
|
|||
I see the clouds
here comes the rain
how long will it be
until I see you again
your message rings loud
and reverbs in pain
reflection left in puddles
was it all in vain?
walk walk walk away
hide your shame
was this love to you
or a silly game?
wash wash wash it all
down the drain
you can always change your name
onward marches the storm
to smell the wetness of the asphalt
to watch the birds flocking to nest
and hide from New found sorrow
and watch the snow melt away
artists mark
across you body
your sunken eyes
grow ever deeper
run run run away
change your name
but the storm marches on

Our Downfall
02:08
|
|||
tension getting tighter
attrition on our lives
democracy is fading
collapse approaching nigh
failure to defect
ballot boxes tossed
war within our borders
lines that have been crossed
down fall
work until you can't
what will you gain
why should we try?
when we are set up to fail
everything against us
the cards are stacking high
while corpses push us harder
their war flag still flies
down fall

The Marionette
02:38
|
|||
caught in a snare
sinners beware
this is the land of the puppet master
no longer human
none but yourself
only the goal of getting what you're after
same game what changed
in-sane and careless
don't stay one day
you'll find your fairness
dark inside
don't even know your mind
it's the mess and tangle
of the path you set
grasping at staws
for any hit of love
and not a spare thought
for the innocents
it must be so nice
to pack up, move on
always looking for your next fix
you won't believe
you're the marionette

Cold Cigarette
03:31
|
|||
In the shade of a snow covered pine
I follow footsteps bigger than mine
and though all is lost
the river currant pulls me on
nail him to a cross
where has our time gone?
share this with me
for the last time
one more cigarette
for the road
on to different lives
I hope the best for you
share this with me
for the last time
A smell of change blows in the wind
Until this, I was lost
and I have gone away
somewhere you'll never find
do you think fondly of me?
or have I lost my mind?
One cold cigarette all to yourself
I hope you'll find me
Self destruct just to rebuild again
I want you to want me
Share this with me
for the last time
one more cigarette
for the road
on two different lives
I hope the best for you
So share this with me
for the last time.

Unser suß Finale
04:11
|
|||
When our lips met a final kiss I always thought there would be one more
Through the message of your abstinence I should have known I was no longer yours
To hold you in my arms I forget about the stars in the sky
What I would do for one more time
To be in love is to be forlorn said the sun to the moon
Let the darkness be your lover, I'll return to you soon
The loss was slow we couldn't cry,
You had your reasons to leave but I was left to dry
When I said I'd see you soon I didn't think it meant goodbye
But words once spoken, they mean nothing now
I see the lantern blown out and the leaves falling down
The letters have been burned and photos tossed aside
the mother elk births her calf and curses them with new life
The moment had a price, the corpse attracted flies
If you never open your eyes what do you think you'll find?
refuse to let the screeching static rot at your mind
Like wine, this will age finer with time.
