In this fragile time of beginnings
Balances are delicate and intertwined
Cast before a moment of doubt
Naive and innocent
So tired of waiting
And tired of what you're waiting for
Your commitment is evident
And as deep as a drop in a shallow pool
Discarding vows like the fabric
That whisks away the menstrual flow
In search of situations and circumstances \
Of a fairy tale life, book
Open at page one
Chorus:
But first things first
We must appear innocuous
Immerse in faith
And leave nothing to chance
First things first
We must forge an alliance
Based on trust
Gardens in suburbia
And backyard swimming pools
And the talk at the water cooler goes on and on
Surely you could do better
When a family's destruction is the company line
The price of a Judas Kiss will come due in time
(chorus)
And now- I can't defend myself
From your anger- your hatred
Your fucked material world
But someday, somewhere
When malice has ceased to be your guide
My anger- my hatred- will die
And I will find myself
It's by my own hand that I've been betrayed
I've been so entangled- so entangled
So entangled by what you've done and said
This is the beginning of the end
This is the beginning of the end

Circle Game
06:09
|

|
Different air
The same feelings come over me
I lay back and stare at the ceiling
My eyes full of desire
My soul so ill at ease
If everything's on fire
How can I sow?
How can I reap?
Chorus:
Gone only for a moment
I won't be missed
I won't drop out of this fight
Push with me, not against me
We'll make this bad dream right
I feel like a friend
To the multitude of all space
I feel like a friend to the sun
That shell in which I feel so safe
Is surely a delicate one
On this path running straight
I'm on the path to the perfect end
So start the game, it's just a circle game
(chorus)
It's just a circle game

Soul Forge

Self destruction
Submission - No, I won't submit
Resistance - I fall into the pit
Persistence - My life is for persistence
Drawn through the womb
And back in time
Waiting for the spark of life to begin it
Welcome back
An armless man
Going swimming in low tide
I feel something awaken
A question in your mind
That those who wait for so long
Deny their own frustration
While the rest find their flesh and desire
Oh, the tide has pulled you in
And now you're suffocating
And bow your knee in your self destruction
Chorus:
The soul forge is bottled life
And you'll feel the crush
As you self destruct
What I've followed can't reach me now
Can't cut through the stench of my violence
It's not touching me
I've been scarred and sodomized
You've got to find out for yourself
And follow no one else
(chorus)
And in the wide open
Sun painted places
Where everybody knows
And everyone can see
We're not the same
But we're not alone
In this song and dance
(chorus)

No Idle Phrase
04:58
|

|
As we watch you waste away
To skin and bone
This horror takes another day
From your life
And your contact
With what's beyond our self control
Disorder has taken over again
And I want you to know
That if I, If I, If I could take away
Your trial and end your pain
I would shelter you, my child
From skies fallen grey
The fallen grey
Why? Daddy Why?
I have no answer for you
I have no promise to give
To shape your life
And your contact
With what's beyond out self control
This horror
Has taken over again
And brought you low
That if I, If I, If I could take away your trial
The laying on of hands
In no idle phrase
And if we can't bring you back
We'll blame a lack of faith
The laying on of hands
Is no idle phrase
And if we can't commit
We'll tear a page out from
The Book of the Dead
In the streets of Tibet
Disorder has taken over
The horror has taken over again
If I, If I, If I could take away
Your trail and end your pain
I'd shelter you in my dying embrace
You're my child
And end your pain
I would shelter you, my child
From skies fallen grey
The fallen grey
The fallen grey

Jihad
04:08
|

|
The dream of waves upon the water
Is what makes these people strong
What's lost and long forgotten now
Remains in song
The seeds of violence
There's always something in silent waiting
Something beyond the sand
It seems that I aone
Must send a message out
To say your prayers
The messiah is risen in the desert
And the prophecy is fulfilled
The sands will rise
The sea will be parted
And the power will be revealed
Chorus:
Now we're riding out
Marching out
Rising up
Are you ready for the test?
Are you strong enough
In this final hour
To wage the holy war
From system to system
And planet to planet
We'll realize
A reach that exceed our grasp
In touch with our addictions
We will take control
And now the time's at hand
(chorus)

Exhausted Minds
05:31
|
|||
|
Consumed by my vision and swept away
It’s now for decisions and still you play
Your sobbing violin
It’s inordinate
The weight that I bear
Don’t look at me
Like I’m some Napoleon
The ardor
Is what takes you there
Soul plowed, sucked down
Through Dante’s downward spiral
As the guest of the Prince Of Lies
To get the rotting fruits of our ambitions
Has led us to exhausted minds
The bonds are frayed
Return the name
In our denial
We’re bound to the soul’s decay
The hammer will bring you down
The hammer will bring you down
The secret is part of my disgrace
The shrieking is the sum of our mistakes
We’re burning the bridges but not today
We’re pounding the prisms to dust and clay
We’ve died before we’ve lived
It’s a hornets nest
And I won’t go in there
Don’t look at me
Like I’m some kind of alien
It’s hard enough
The weight of your stare
Soul plowed, sucked down
Into this twisted kingdom
Where dreams are paralyzed
To get the heart and stress of our endeavors
Has led us to exhausted minds
The bonds are frayed
Return the name
In our denial
We’re bound to the soul’s decay
The hammer will bring you down
The hammer will bring you down
The secret is part of my disgrace
The shrieking is the sum of our mistakes
Taken by force
It’s par for the course
The bonds are frayed
Return the name
In our denial
We’re bound to the soul’s decay
The hammer will bring you down
The hammer will bring you down
The secret is part of my disgrace
The shrieking is the sum of our mistakes
Taken by force
It’s par for the course
Rubbed ’til you’re raw
Raped by the law

Ich szlido nicht dis du despir
Nir schrident kameri
Lizido
Leviathan
Into the lake, into the lair
It's just a drop in the water
It's just a drop in the well
It's just a tiny drop of poison
In a landslide that we know so well
Into the lake, into the lai
It's just a drop into the water
It's just a tiny drop into the well
In the quest for control in disorder you'll find
The path to your own demise
There will be no human generals in hell
Will you serve the light
Or hide in shadows
With the ones who fell
In whole tones, in whole tomes
The whole world is waiting
The whole world is waiting for the day
For what is below will rise
Our world's destroyed
Into the lake, into the lair
It's just a drop into the water
It's just a drop into the well
It's just a tiny drop of poison
In a landslide that we know so well

Sounds of Life
04:57

In the treehouse
Around behind the house
So many sounds of life
But can you hear me mother?
I've been so far, so long
That I just can't find my way
Back to the corner of it all
And if it's all the same
You're not to blame
When hearts are bleeding
It's just the sound of my life
Come sit with me a while
We'll catch the midnight show
And if tomorrow's not too late
I'd like for you to know
Next month by the lake
We could see the Olympic Games
Will you be there?
In the time of my life
Where we could share our victory
Over all we have railed against
But now I stand alone
And I'm staring at the wall
Through the stained glass window light breaks
Falling all around you
And I believed it all in all
But now, now, now it's not enought
It's not enough to make you believe
To make you believe in me
Will you be there?
In the time of my life
Where we could share our victory
Over all we have railed against
But now I stand alone
And I'm staring at the wall

Eyes of Suicide
04:36
|

|
These visions clarify the future
Decisions once easy now are gone
My hunger was my will to survive
My anger look into the eyes of suicide
No use resenting the past
For it's too late to change
I can only find the answers by escaping
Can't go on, I've lost my will to survive
Take my blood, look into the eyes of suicide
Suicide, suicide, suicide
Tormenting my soul, stripped of all hope
My life is slowly fading away
Visions before the surface of insanity
Visions below the surface of insanity
Enlighten me to another way
I fall asleep about to leave depression
I start to bleed the sign of blood obsession

They said there was nothing to worry about
They said there was nothing to fear
But you remember the last time
And you remember the pain
And you rememer the hopelessness
In calling out His name
They said it would only take an instant
They said you would feel no pain
But you remember like a firecracker
Bursting in the sky
That you're a victim of circumstance
With no need in asking why
But someday
Your child will have new words to say
From your mouth to her ear
Your child will have new games to play
But someday
Your child will have new words to say
From your mouth to her ear
Your child will have new games to play
And your mouth will hide the fear
All that you know
And all that you care
Could be wiped out from not breathing the air
And a summer sky is waiting
For a child to arrive
His life is worth many dreams today

One heart feeds
Give me half a brain to say that a little love
Could compensate
When she is waiting
Chorus:
And why can we never seem to say
The right thing in its moment
Where is there never a straight answer?
The lowered eye
Sings cacophony
One heart breathes
And one suffocates
In this parade of stifling
I will not holiday
(chorus)
And why can we never seem to say
The right thing in its moment
Why is there never a straight answer?
The lowered eye sings cacophony
