In alphabetical order.
I tried to correct occasional mistakes, but kept to the booklet in cases of doubt.
A means to an end
A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Eternal rights we left behind
We were the better kind
Two the same, set free too
I always looked to you
I always looked to you
I always looked to you
We fought for good, stood side by side
Our friendship never died
On stranger waves, the lows and highs
Our vision touched the sky
Immortalists with points to prove
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
A house somewhere on foreign soil
Where ageing lovers call
Is this your goal, your final needs
Where dogs and vultures eat
Commited still I turn to go
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
In you.
In you. In you
Put my trust in you, in you.
As you said
(Instrumental)
Atmosphere
Walk in silence
Don't walk away, in silence
See the danger
Always danger
Endless talking
Life rebuilding
Don't walk away
Walk in silence
Don't turn away, in silence
Your confusion
My illusion
Worn like a mask of self hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away
People like you find it easy Naked to see
Walking on air
Hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner
abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
Don't walk away in silence
Don't walk away.
Atrocity exhibition
Asylums with doors open wide
Where people had paid to see inside
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, "I still exist"
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
In arenas he kills for a prize
Wins a minute to add to his life
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
You'll see the horrors of a faraway place
Meet the architects of law face to face
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen
And all the ones who try hard to succeed
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
This is the way, step inside
And I picked on the whims of a thousand more
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire
Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair
Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be.
Autosuggestion
Here, here
Everything is by design
Everything is by design
Here, here
Everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise
Heroes, idols cracked like ice
Here, here
Everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Pure frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So take a chance and step outside
Take a chance and step outside
Lose some sleep and say you tried
Meet frustration face to face
A point of view creates more waves
So lose some sleep and say you tried
So lose some sleep and say you tried
So lose some sleep and say you tried
So lose some sleep and say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Say you tried
Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried
Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried
Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried
Yeah lose some sleep and say you tried.
Candidate
Forced by the pressure
The territories marked
No longer the pleasure
Oh, I've since lost the heart
Corrupted from memory
No longer the power
It's creeping up slowly
That last fatal hour
Oh, I don't know what made me
What gave me the right
To mess with your values
And change wrong to right
Please keep your distance
The trail leads to here
There's blood on your fingers
Brought on by fear
I campaigned for nothing
I worked hard for this
I tried to get to you
You treat me like this
It's just second nature
It's what we've been shown
We're living by your rules
That's all that we know
I tried to get to you
I tried to get to you
I tried to get to you
I tried to get to you.
Ceremony
This is why events unnerve me
Define it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask's is the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and leans towards this time
Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
What she heard, these things she said
The times she cried, too frail to wake this time
I break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever, forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever.
Colony
A cry for help, a hint of anaesthesia
The sound from broken homes
We used to always meet here
As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm
A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last good bye
Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide
A cruel wind that bows down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony
I can't see why all these confrontations
I can't see why all these dislocations
No family life, this makes me feel uneasy
Stood alone here in this colony
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony
Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand
God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand
God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand
God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand
In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.
Day of the lords
This is the room, the start of it all
No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall
I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodied obtained
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?
These are your friends, from childhood, through youth
Who goaded you on, demanded your proof
Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?
This is the car at the edge of the road
There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed
I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat
There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?
This is the room the start of it all
Through childhood, through youth, I remember it all
Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?
Dead souls
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true realities
That keep calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Where figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the halls
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
That keep calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
They keep calling me.
Decades
Here are the young men, the weight on their shoulders
Here are the young men, well where have they been?
We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber
Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in
Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen
Potrayal of the trauma and degeneration
The sorrows we suffered and never were free
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever
Can't replace the fear, or the thrill of the chase
Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings
Open then shut, then slammed in our face
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Where have they been?
Digital
Feel it closing in
Feel it closing in
The fear of whom I call
Every time I call
I feel it closing in
I feel it closing in
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
I feel it closing in
as patterns seem to form
I feel it cold and warm
The shadows start to fall
I feel it closing in
I feel it closing in
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
I'd have the world
to see just whatever happens
Stood by the door alone
And then it's fade away
I see you fade away
Don't ever fade away
I need you here today
Don't ever fade away
Don't ever fade away
Don't ever fade away
Don't ever fade away
Fade away. Fade away
Fade away. Fade away
Fade away. Fade away
Fade away.
Disorder
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's Iand
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from your friends
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.
Exercise one
When you're looking at life
Through a strange new room
Maybe drowning soon
Is this the start of it all?
Turn on your TV
Turn down your pulse
Turn away from it all
It's all getting too much
When you're looking at life
Deciphering scars
Just who fooled who
Sit still in their cars
The lights look bright
When you reach outside
Time for one last ride
Before the end of it all.
Failures
Don't speak of safe Messiahs
A failure of the Modern Man
To the centre of all life's desires
As a whole not an also ran
Love in a hollow field
Break the image of your father's son
Drawn to an inner feel
He was thought of as the only one
He was thought of as the only one
He no longer denies
All the failures of the Modern Man
No, no, no, he can't picks sides
Sees the failures of the Modern Man
Wise words and sympathy
Tell the story of our history
New strength gives a real touch
Sense and reason make it all too much
With a strange fatality
Broke the spirits of a lesser man
Some other race can see
In his way he was the only one
In his way he was the only one
He no longer denies
All the failures of the Modern Man
No, no, no, he can't picks sides
Sees the failures of the Modern Man
Now that it's right to decide
In his time he was a total man
Taken from Caesar's side
Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong
He no longer denies
All the failures of the Modern Man
No, no, no, he can't pick sides
Sees the failures of the Modern Man
All the failures of the Modern Man.
From safety to where...?
No I don't know just why
No I don't know just why
Which way to turn
I got this ticket to use
Through childlike ways, rebellion and crime
To reach this point and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels that have turned
The memories scarred and the vision is blurred
No I don't know which way
Don't know which way to turn
The best possible use
Just passing through,
'till we reach the next stage
But just to where, well it's all been arranged
Just passing through but the break must be made
Should we move on or stay safely away?
Through childlike ways, rebellion and crime
To reach this point and retreat back again
The broken hearts, all the wheels that have turned
The memories scarred and the vision is blurred.
Just passing through, 'till we reach the next stage
But just to where, well it's all been arranged
Just passing through but the break must be made
Should we move on or stay safely away?
Glass
Hearts fail, young hearts fail
Any time, pressurised
overheat, overtired
Take it quick, take it neat
Clasp your hands, touch your feet
Take it quick, take it neat
Take it quick, take it neat
Hearts fail, young hearts fail
Anytime, wearing down
On the run, underground
Put your hand where it's safe
Leave your hand where it's safe
Do it again
Do it again and again and again
Do it again and again and again
Do it again and again and again
Do it again and again and again
Anytime, that's your right
Don't you wish you do it again
Overheat, overtire
Don't you wish you do it again
Don't you wish you do it again
Don't you wish you do it again
Any time that's your right
Don't you wish you do it again
Any time that's your right
Don't you with you do it again
Don't you wish you do it again
I bet you wish you do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again.
Heart and soul
Instincts that can still betray us
A journey that leads to the sun
Soulless and bent on destruction
A struggle between right and wrong
You take my place in the showdown
I'll observe with a pitiful eye
I'd humbly ask for forgiveness
A request well beyond you and I
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
An abyss that laughs at creation
A circus complete with all fools
Foundations that lasted the ages
Then ripped apart at their roots
Beyond all this good is the terror
The grip of a mercenary hand
When savagery turns all good reason
There's no turning back, no last stand
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can
The past is now part of my future
The present is well out of hand
The present is well out of hand
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
One will burn, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn.
Ice age
I've seen the real atrocities
Buried in the sand
Stockpiled safety for a few
While we stand holding hands
I'm living in the Ice age
I'm living in the Ice age
Nothing will hold
Nothing will fit
Into the cold
It's not an eclipse
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Searching for another way
Hide behind the door
We'll live in holes and disused shafts
Hopes for little more
I'm living in the Ice age
I'm living in the Ice age
Nothing will hold
Nothing will fit
Into the cold
No smile on your lips
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age
Living in the Ice age.
In a lonely place
Caressing the marble and stone
Love that was special for one
The waste in the fever I heat
How I wish you were here with me now
Body that curls in and dies
And shares that awful daylight
Warm like a dog round your feet
How I wish you were here with me now
Hangman looks round as he waits
Cord stretches tight then it breaks
Someday we will die in your dreams
How I wish we were here with you now.
Incubation
(Instrumental)
Insight
Guess your dreams always end
They don't rise up just descend
But I don't care anymore
I've lost the will to want more
I'm not afraid not at all
I watch them all as they fall
But I remember when we were young
Those with habits of waste
Their sense of style and good taste
Of making sure you were right
Hey don't you know you were right?
I'm not afraid anymore
I keep my eyes on the door
But I remember...
Tears of sadness for you
More upheaval for you
Reflects a moment in time
A special moment in time
Yeah, we wasted our time
We didn't really have time
But we remember when we were young
And all God's angels beware
And all you judges beware
Sons of chance, take good care
For all the people not there
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid any more
I'm not afraid anymore
Oh, I'm not afraid anymore.
Interzone
I walked through the city limits
(Someone talked me in to do it )
Attracted by some force within it
(Had to close my eyes to get close to it)
Around a corner where a prophet lay
(Saw the place where she'd a room to stay)
A wire fence where the children played
(Saw the bed where the body lay)
And I was looking for a friend of mine
(And I had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
The cars screeched hear the sound on dust
(Heard a noise just a car outside)
Metallic blue turned red with rust
(Pulled in close by the building's side)
In a group all forgotten youth
(Had to think, collect my senses now )
Are turned on to a knife edged view
(Find some places where my friends don't know)
And I was looking for a friend of mine
(And had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine.
Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same
(Getting darker now, faces look the same)
And I walked round and round
( No stomach, torn apart )
They nailed me to a train
( Had to think again )
Trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out!
(Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out )
Four, twelve windows, ten in a row
(Behind a wall, well I looked down low)
The lights shined like a neon show
(Inserted deep felt a warmer glow)
No place to stop, no place to go
(No time to lose, had to keep on going)
I guess they died some time ago
(I guess they died some time ago)
And I was looking for a friend of mine
(And I had no time to waste)
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine.
I remember nothing
We were strangers
We were strangers, for way too long, for way too long
We were strangers, for way too long
Violent, violent...
Were strangers
Get weak all the time
May just pass the time
Me in my own world, yeah you there beside
The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side
We were strangers for way too long
Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon
Me in my own world, the one that you knew
For way too long
We were strangers for way too long
For way too long.
Isolation
In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else
Isolation, isolation, isolation.
Mother I tried please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, isolation, isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
These pleasures a wayward distraction
This is my one lucky prize
Isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation.
Komakino
This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect
A moment so moving, goes straight to your heart
The vision has never been met
The attraction is held like a weight deep inside
Something I'll never forget
The pattern is set, her reaction will start
Complete but rejected too soon
Looking ahead in the grip of each fear
Recalls the life that we knew
The shadow that stood by the side of the road
Always reminds me of you
How can I find the right way to control
All the conflict inside, all the problems beside
As the questions arise, and the answers don't fit
Into my way of things
Into my way of things.
Leaders of men
Born from some mothers womb
Just like any other room
Made a promise for a new life
Made a victim out of your life
When your time's on the door
And it drips to the floor
And you feel you can touch
All the noise is too much
And the seeds that are sown
Are no longer your own
Just a minor operation
To force a final ultimatum
Thousand words are spoken loud
Reach the dumb to fool the crowd
When you walk down the street
And the sound's not so sweet
And you wish you could hide
Maybe go for a ride
To some peep show arcade
Where the future's not made
A nightmare situation
Infiltrate imagination
Smacks of past holy wars
By the wall with broken laws
The leaders of men
Born out of your frustration
The leaders of men
Just a strange infatuation
The leaders of men
Made a promise for a new life
No saviour for our sakes
To twist the internees of hate
Self induced manipulation
To crush all thoughts of mass salvation.
Love will tear us apart
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something so good
just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again.
New dawn fades
A change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still occupied, though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say
We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
"We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much, can't take much more".
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me, waiting for me, hoping for something more
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.
No love lost
So long sitting here, didn't hear the warning
Waiting for the tape to run
We've been moving around in different situations
Knowing that the time would come
Just to see you torn apart
Witness to your empty heart
I need it, I need it, I need it
"Through the wire screen, the eyes of those standing outside
looked in at her as into the cage of some rare creature in a zoo
In the hand of one of the assistants she saw the same instrument
which they had that morning inserted deep into her body.
She shuddered instinctively. No life at all in the house of dolls.
No love lost. No love lost."
You've been seeing things in darkness, not in learning
Hoping that the truth will pass
No life underground, wasting, never changing
Wishing that this day won't last
To never see you show your age
To watch until the beauty fades
I need it, I need it, I need it.
(Second verse on Warsaw album)
Two way mirror in the hall
They like to watch everything you do
Transmitters hidden in the walls
So they know everything you say is true
Turn it on
Don't
turn it on
Turn it on.
Novelty
When the people listen to you don't you know it means a lot
'cos you've got to work so hard for everything you've got
Can't rest on your laurels now
Not when you've got none
You'll find yourself in a gutter
Right back where you came from
Someone told me being in the know is the main thing
We all need the security that belonging brings
Can't stand on your own in these times against all the odds
You all just fall behind like all the other sods
You slap your back and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
You're all on your own now, don't you think that's a shame
But you're the only one responsible to take the blame
So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone
Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone
You slap your backs and pretend you knew
About all the things we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do
When it's over?
Passover
This is a crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Doubting, unsettling and turning around
Wondering what will come next.
Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much
Without the protection and infancy's guard
It all falls apart at first touch
Watching the reel as it comes to a close
Brutally taking its time
People who change for no reason at all
It's happening all of the time.
Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind
Back out of my duties,
when all's said and done
I know that I'll lose every time
Moving along in our God given ways
Safety is sat by the fire
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles
Left with a mark on the door
Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more
And watch as they drop by the beach
This is the crisis I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept
Turning around to the next set of lives
Wondering what will come next.
Shadowplay
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
She's lost control
Confusion in her eyes that says it all, she's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, she's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said I've lost control again
And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she said "I've lost control again".
And she turned around and took me by the hand and said "I've lost control again"
And how I'll never know just why or understand she said "I've lost control again"
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said "I've lost control"
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die, she said "I've lost control".
She's lost control again
She's lost control
She's lost control again
She's lost control
Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case and say she's lost control again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said I've lost control again
But she expressed herself in many different ways until she lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed "I've lost control "
She's lost control again
She's lost control
She's lost control again
She's lost control.
She's lost control 12" version
Confusion in her eyes that said it all, she's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, she's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said "I've lost control again"
And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she said "I've lost control again"
And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said "I've lost control again"
An how I'll never know just why or understand she said "I've lost control again"
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said "I've lost control again"
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die, she said "I've lost control again"
She's lost control again
She's lost control
She's lost control again
She's lost control
Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case and say she's lost control again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said "I've lost control again"
But she expressed herself in many different ways until she lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed "I've lost control again"
She's lost control again
She's lost control
She's lost control again
She's lost control
I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried
I could live a little in a wider line
When the change is gone, when the urge is gone
To lose control.
When here we come.
Something must break
Two ways to choose
On a razors edge
Remain behind
Go straight ahead
Room full of people, room for just one
If I can't break out now, the time just won't come
Two ways to choose
Which way to go
Decide for me
Please let me know
Looked in the mirror, saw I was wrong
If I could get back to where I belong, where I belong
Two ways to choose
Which way to go
Had thoughts for one
Designs for both
But we were immortal, we were not there
Washed up on the beaches, struggling for air
I see your face still in my window
Torments yet calms, won't set me free
Something must break now
This life isn't mine
Something must break now
Wait for the time
Something must break.
The sound of music
See my true reflection, cut off my own connections, I can see life getting harder
So sad is this sensation, reverse the situation, I can't see it getting better
I'll walk you through the heartbreak, show you all the out takes, I can't see it getting higher
Systematically degraded, emotionally a scapegoat, I can't see it getting better
Perverse and unrealistic, try to make it all stick, I can't see it getting better
Hollow now, I'm burned out, all I need to break out, I can't see life getting higher
Love, life, makes you feel higher
Love, of life, makes you feel higher
Higher, higher,
higher, higher
Higher, higher, Higher, higher
Love of life, makes you feel higher.
The drawback
Seen the troubles and the evils of this world
I've seen the stretches between godliness and sin
I've heard the promise and confessions of good faith
And hypocrisy that always lies within
And they left it for you, all of this for you
And they left it for you, all of this for you
I've seen the products and the other world of waste
I've seen the colour of corruption deep within
I've seen them lose themselves in dignity and taste
To see in black and white and through to black again
And they left it for you, all of this for you
And they left it for you, all of this for you
And they left it for you, all of this for you
And they left it for you, everything for you
I've seen the troubles and the evils of this world
I've seen the ones who could succeed but always lose
I've seen what's left of poor technology and worth
And watched them dying as they leave their ship of fools
And they left it for you, all of this for you
And they left it for you, all of this for you.
The eternal
Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside.
Cry like a child, though these years make me older
With children my time is so wastefully spent
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
No words could explain, no actions determine
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall.
The kill
Moved in a hired car, and I find no way to run
Adds every moment longer, had no time for fun
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I left my eyes on you
I had an impulse to clear it all away
Oh I used the tactics, make everybody pay
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Oh, I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there
No kings of misuse, no sellers of flesh
Just something that I knew I had to do
But through it all I kept my eyes on you
Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you
But through it all I kept my eyes on you.
The only mistake
Made the fatal mistake
Like I did once before
A tendency just to take
Till the purpose turned sour
Strain, take the strain, these days we love
Strain, take the strain, these days we love
Yeah, the only mistake was that you ran away
Avenues lined with trees, strangled words for the day
yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before
Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before
Strain, take the strain, these days we love
Strain, take the strain, these days we love
And the only mistake, led to rumours unfound
Led to pressures unknown, different feelings and sounds
Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before
Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before.
These days
Morning seems strange, almost out of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days, these days
Spent all my time, learnt a killers art
Took threats and abuse 'till I'd learned the part.
Can ou stay for these days?
These days, these days
Used outward deception to get away
Broken heart romance to make it pay
These days, these days
We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay for these days?
They walked in line
All dressed in uniforms so fine
They drank and killed to pass the time
Wearing the shame of all their crimes
With measured steps, they walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They carried pictures of their wives
And numbered tags to prove their lives
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
Full of a glory never seen
They made it through the whole machine
To never question anymore
Hypnotic trance, they never saw
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
They walked in line
Walked in line
Walked in line.
Transmission
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
And we would go on as
though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days, we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No Ianguage, just sound, that's all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat of the show
And we could dance...
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Twenty four hours
So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on it's side
A cloud hangs over me, marks every move
Deep in the memory, of what once was love
Oh how I realised how I wanted time
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find
Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away
Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires
I never realised the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment, I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all
Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong
Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late.
Warsaw
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5, Go!
I was there in the back stage
When first light came around.
I grew up like a changeling
To win the first time around
I can see all the weakness
I can pick all the faults
Well I concede all the faith tests
Just to stick in your throats
31G, 31G, 31G
I hung around in your sound track
To mirror all that you've done
To find the right side of reason
To kill the three lies for one
I can see all the cold facts
I can see through your eyes
All this talk made no contact
No matter how hard we tried
31G, 31G, 31G
I can still hear the footsteps
I can see only walls
I slid into your man traps
With no hearing at all
I just see contradiction
Had to give up the fight
Just to live in the past tense
To make believe you were right
31G, 31G, 31G
3, 5, 0, 1, 2, 5.
Wilderness
I travelled far and wide through many different times
What did you see there?
I saw the saints with their toys
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed
I travelled far and wide through many different times
I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross
What did you see there?
The power and glory of sin
What did you see there?
The blood of Christ on their skins
I travelled far and wide through many different times
I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died
What did you see there?
I saw the one sided trials
What did you see there?
I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes.
