I trace what's left of my
cold steel...as it twitches.
Apply the tourniquet tight.
Savor the moment, this might be my last sip of life.
I see at least one hundred miles
Of shifting, stirring sand.
A forsaken man in this strangers' land.
They've left me for...dead.
I'm so tired of feeling scared
but I've got to find a way.
I've got this gun in my hand,
blood on my tongue as I write
dead man's w...
You mystify with the things that you say.
You're telling me you're leaving, that you're going away
to take a trip to find, and leave behind the love.
I've got a destination, a suggestion for you.
You won't need a jet plane or a luxury cruise.
Just take a look in my eyes, and realize the love.
I can't live without us,
so I hope that you will
stay with me forever.
It's all I want from you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't slam the door on your way out
Don't leave without saying goodbye
Another long distance night alone
You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more
Last word today, coming home to stay?
Wouldn't that be nice for a while?
But now my take-out food is growing cold
And the candle's burned a hole in the floor
I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
I'm all alone
It's another rainy night...
You and I long to live like the wind upon the water
If we close our eyes, we'll maybe realize
There's more to life than what we have known
And I can't believe, I've spent so long
Living lies, I knew were wrong inside
I've just begun to see the light
Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two
Leaving all I loved behind, for what nobody knew
Stepped out on the stage, alive under lig...
My point of view is expanding everyday
and I feel with clarity my vision sway.
Your private access takes me all the way.
yeah
I am amplified by what's inside of you.
I feel your energy is something I can't loose.
I'm a pressure cooker, I'm about to blow.
I love the way that you move me,
It's never enough, I've got to have you,anytime/anywhere that's all.
My sweet addiction I pray will never en...
Whatever happens now
is beyond my control.
Emotion has abandoned me.
Faded away and left me...cold.
The call's been made.
I'm here, dependent on the atmosphere
contained inside this mask I wear.
My breathing is all I hear.
I've got the target switch in hand.
I just feel numb, scanning the
ground at the hell that I'll make.
I'm above it in the air.
Flying high above the city walls
as the insurg...
Red gates of iron cast their
Black shadows on this land
Dividing souls... far below
The gathering winds the armies watch
Are rising from the west
Foretelling news... of freedom's hand
In secrecy they've infiltrated
All of our strongholds
Controlling more... year after year
So we've let this happen all along
Believing what's been said
Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear
We watch the sun r...
take your children down to the water wash their heads and sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and tall beside me.
All my life ... behind me.
You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn't see,but where I've always been ... an island.
In my dreams I've been an island ...
Where I'm all alone, and I've built these walls stone by stone.
I want to le...
A child alone in daddy's room, the gun was hidden here
No one home to catch me when I fall
Young man now in a private chair
I've seen the world through a bitter stare
But my dream is still alive, I'm going to be the best I can
I wanna be a busy man, I wanna see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I wanna write for a magazine, I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen

From the night comes a roar of thunder
Beholding light on the spell you're under
And the signs of death descend your way
Fighting back from the devil's hunger
Freeing souls from their chosen number
And the sword of right will guide your way
And thus you'll find that only demons fill your mind until you wake
But only time will tell the answer you've been blinded from today
Burning dreams cause ...

Thank-you for the lies, the lies you sold us.
Thank-you for this vision of violence.
Thank-you for this song you gave me to sing.
Thank-you for the capping day
of a culture that lay dying.
Yes it's us dying.
Maybe it won't be long,
now that it's all gone on.
It's all gone wrong and
there's blood on our hands.
We saw them lying there
with their arms around each other,
staring through...
When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense,
And when words can't hide their anger or intent.
I feel it in my bones and in my head, can't make sense of what is said.
Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown.
Fear has me backed against these walls that I follow and pace.
Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face.
I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake, can't...
They told me to run
But just how far
Can I go wearing the black mask of fear?
The hate in my eyes always gives me away
The tension building slowly
Now I've lost everything I had in you
Nothing we shared means a thing
Without you close to me
I can't live without you
Breaking the silence of the night
Can't you hear me screaming?
I look for your face in the neon light
You never answer me
There's ...
You called me up on the phone today
Struggling with the right words to say
Time can change a thing or two
Time has changed the lives of me and you
But you know, it could have been different dad
The word brings back a sweet memory
I?m sitting on a bluff on a broken tree
By my side a distinguished man
Giving me encouragement, telling me I can
And you know, you?re not there
You say, "Son, let?s f...

Miles of desert fly, the quiet of dawn.
I ride the winds of morning to see the man that's burning.
In my head I hear the song a million voices strong.
I feel the heart of conscious returning, that's why the man is burning.

Shakin' time, she needs
Taking rides...to somewhere
Let's lose our minds, no hurry
I'm the wakeful night, with dreams...or something
Chasing blue sky,
We're chasing blue sky
Taking time from all this worry
Mesmerized by the waves of your smile
I wish that I could say something
But you're the rose colored glass I see through
I'll see you through
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky

Born into darkness in Saturn's sight
Riding the night like the wind
Ripping the heart form a world that is right
Treading the borders of sin.
Child of fire
The souls that are damned
By the pain that you bring
Send you higher
Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing
To the ends of the earth you will fly
Conquering masses in wanton deception
Blood-red your black flag waves high

Hey you cuckoo
See you're in the paper late today, accused of something,
and your lips are closed to all of those who know she's missing.
Talk abounds she won't be found alive and that's a pity.
I read about all of these crimes. When will it end?
Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way.
I'm tired of the insane running things,
and I won't stop tryin' for change.
Seems the town's ablaz...
Waiting for the feeling to subside
Paranoid, I melt into myself
They say I'm to reach inside and find
The broken part of my machinery
Psychoanalyze the chapters
On the path to my darkest day
Searching for the answers
All I see is damage through the haze
Picking up the pieces of my mind
With no direction for re-assembly
The one that lays beside me
Is sharing scars of my broken yesterdays

Ride swift across the plain
Don't you turn back, keep heed in your flame
Kings with no mercy, this planet at war
Torn from enchantment, this land forevermore
Born from obsession, you cried death for light
You saw things before and after you died
Back from beyond to rule again
But this life denies you its fight to the end
Back from the dawn
Deliver us right from wrong
Kings forge the way

You've got a cardboard house
Live there all the time
Keep your memories tied with string
The face that many once adored
Twenty years gone maybe more
Somewhere you lost the dream
Mama watched your every move
But now you're all alone
Yeah she's been gone for awhile
Daddy left some time ago
Fading years pass too slow
He's the only one, could make you smile, smile
Oh, you're still crying

With a simple wave,
her hand creates my universe.
She spins and dances around the fire.
Eyes search the open road,
caught up in the sound of
transmissions burning down the wire.
We reach out for the sky
and were never coming down.

Visions of replay.

Have you noticed The way people seem today?
Look in their eyes, you can feel their uncertainty.
Working hard for what they fear others would think.
Empty hearts are afraid to break away:don't be afraid.
We could all use a little sunshine
Take the day off :outside.
Hey look around, everything's better now
And here we are and we're doin' fine.
If we look inside, breath deep, and count to ten.

As you awoke this morning
and opened up your eyes
Did you notice the tear-stains
lining your face were mine
Don't you wonder, can't you see
what's happening to our lives
I can't keep living this masquerade
When my lonely eyes see only your face at night
I only see in infrared
I can't dream anymore
Can't you see I need, too
I can't stand the pain
You've gathered all my secrets
and I don't know ...
Anybody home? Mary?
Even in death
You still look sad
Don't leave me
Don't leave me here
I want what you feel
Believe me, turn the current on
Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what's wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
They're building empire

Last night the word came down, ten dead in China Town, and they said that what their crime was, being in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown
The blackness surrounding the border of hope
We're alone
We plead for the signs of a second chance
In hopes it will stifle the fear
The dying remains of a world gone insane
We are near the end
A course that will lead us through darkness
Prepared by our leaders insist
We mustn't all pray to the shadow of
The iron fist
We enter the void ...
All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mir...

We are all equal but we're individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.
We find faith and strength in the most unlikely places
and love sometimes eludes us, but we try.
We keep searching and one day we find ...
life goes on and around like a wheel
it keeps on turning, that's the deal.
Why are we running?
We're running so fast to keep from falling behind.

Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it's like on the other side.
Because I'm here on the inside of blue, without you.
Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.
Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks like hell. I think I need to see a doctor.

I've been wondering what's eating at your head?
The cheap way you handle things, the slander that you spread.
Making misery is the way you spend your time.
I think it's safe to say when it comes to truth you're blind
Whatever happened is over now for you.
With you there's nothing, that you wouldn't do.
Nothing you wouldn't do.
Now it's time to get a life, you gotta get a life.

I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall
Outside your balcony I have a room with a view
And I'm watching you
I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door till you're asleep at night
And when you're alone I know when you
Turn out the light
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-Oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you

I'd reconciled my anger got outside of danger.
I was waiting for some signal, a sign from angels.
When the tide turns against you
it's a strange sensation, a revelation of imagination.

All eyes were staring you floated through the room
Aarmed with your razor smile cutting to the bone
My voice fell useless you flashed a quick "Hello"
Feeling the fool, could you tell it showed?

A promise, a word, and a voice

Looking for salvation, I'm blind.
Thought contamination, I find.
Greedy spiders talk to me in my head.

It's harder than I thought,
to be so far away.
So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain.
For me it wasn't easy to raise the flag and leave.
But I thought that you should know how
much you mean to me.
I won't be there to see you dance and hear
you sing the songs we love.
So please be strong and it won't be long till
I'm home again.
You know you make me proud
because you're the one ...
There you were like a ghost from my early days, staring straight ahead at me.
How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how everything would change.
How could I know?
I recall something strange coming over me, somewhat at a loss for words.
I'd been around and had my share of what I thought my soul could bare, but never seen what I saw in your eyes.

What ever happened to conviction and faith?
People trip from side to side; don't know

Always known the truth.
It's really black and white.

that everyone can hear it.

Under surveillance from the camera eye

The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime

A fool is left to live as the brave ones fall.

I would have done the same for you.
But now you're gone and I wish I were too.
I spend all my time asking questions,
How can I pay you back when
the price you paid was so high, my friends.
If I were King of all I imagine,
I would trade all I am

Do you know the people fighting for your head?
What you think, the things you read and what you see.
What you hear and how you choose

Afraid to speak your mind?

Every time I leave
You say you won't be there
And you're always there
Every time I cry your name at night
You pull close and say it's alright
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat
Of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you

Sitting all alone, inside, today Jane.
The other girls are home, we?re playing a new game,
The voice is very, very close, you like it that way,
and we?re feeling rather warm inside.
Are you smiling or afraid ?
You can have it either way.
Lady Jane your eyes are wide today,
and the world is looking very strange, you must proclaim
It?s quite a scary, scary ride we take, Lady Jane.

Queensryche "Last Time In Paris" from the Ford fairlane soundtrack Lyrics
from Queensryche fan club
Last time in Paris was a little strange,
Had time to myself,
Headed out to see the city sights.
Met a little thing on the Champs-Elysees,
Stole my heart away,
You know I never could pronounce her name.
She didn't mind at all.
We were sitting there,
Seemed like hours
Pass the day away,
Till they ...
I ain't no romeo. I'm just the man for you.
Holding out as secrets travel, they kind of get to you.
Everybody says that it could've been something.
Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.
Always hearing voices swim ... in your liquid sky.
Liquid sky ... always hearing voices, like no more choices in disguise.
I ain't no sacred idol or a saint pretending.
I'll build you up. I'll tear yo...
It was November 4th
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave
I thought you'd never go
I wish I could just remember your name...
You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer
Your eyes alight with flame
As the picture burns
I hear the screams from long ago
They cry remember, blood-red streaks on
velvet throat...
StoneTate
There's a thunder in my head,
a roar I can't escape.
I can't ignore this certain fate
I'm experiencing something.
I can't explain.
There's a frame of reference fragile at best.
An itching fear that's stronger than the rest.
Follow the black ribbon into the sun.
Push it further baby, careful with this burnout now.
I'm losing myself in you
and trying to get back to me.
But I'm so far a...
Hey, I'm okay.
Another day, another nightmare begins.
And the sound that I hear
is the relentless firing in my head.
Shifting gear in the driver's seat as
the finger of g'd signals me
and this concrete bloodline carries me.
Never thought I'd bring the war back home.
I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war
for a cause I never had the chance,
didn't understand the score.
They told me that I'd be oka...
Wake up Buck up and listen
Where am I?
Head reeling, I guess I wasn't dreaming.
Heart racing. Hard to breathe.
You were right.
Got myself here in the middle of Hell.
It's all right. I'll be all right.
All right.
Laser light shines bright behind me.
Can't see what's ahead or beside me.
Everyone here has a gun.
We drive straight down the centerline.
No mistakes, not like last time.
You don't wan...
Where I'm looking everything seems clear.
Not a worry as I float up here. Press me to explain?
Searching deep down for the answer.
I see the world in a different light, busy changing,
rearranging. I'll be missing
for a while, I've got a few things on my mind.
Please leave me alone on this day.
I'm in conversation miles away.
Please leave me alone this afternoon,
I'm in meditation high above.

Empty room today and here I sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times, oh, the night she died
Why? Why?
There's no sleep today, I can't pretend
When all my dreams are crimes, I can't stand facing them
Now who will come to wash away my sins
Clean my room, fix my meals, be my friend?
There's hunger in Africa
And anger's on assembly lines
At the touch of a button, I'm miles away
I want no connection
Just information and I'm gone
I feel so helpless
So I turn my gaze to another place
My global mind reaches out for the truth
Why try holding back the wave?
You'll only drown in the changes
We've got to learn to let go, just let go
And experience the flight
Just try to see from a...
Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream
Hail the new arrival on
Static signs from a distant wanderer
Fill the air nights are never seen
Face the electric time shock now
No it's not a dream anymore
I will light the way for us to find
Order of a new kind
Join us on the stay the road is mine
Poets line in a rhyme of silence
Gathered from the winter air
Warms the children's eyes...
Beware of night for we all know he's loose again
Behind him lies the eyes of mercy and despair
Forever living out his nightmare comes to life
From hell this spell will find its way to you
Tonight
Tonight
A thousand cries are heard, they echo in the wind
And still the rider will unleash his chosen sin
The victims of his rage are soldiers of his mind
His scream will heed the call of those who st...
Uniform printout reads end of line
Protect code intact leaves little time
Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed
My hands shake, my push buttons silence
The outside crowd
One world government has outlawed war among nations
Now social control requires population termination
Have we come too far
To turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym for
This savagery, disguised in
...
There's a certain feeling
Known to all who hear the sound
The call of morning rising
You're in a mystic space
Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind
As it names you
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
...
Back in '86
February and a special number
I just had to know, is this feeling real?
I picked up the phone
I was one step closer to the danger zone
I knew she'd steal my heart away
But I know I couldn't live without her love
The first time she looked at me
Her smile stayed on my mind
I never thought I'd ever meet
A woman of her kind
Now I'm lost in a lover's daze
And I'm not walking out
Gonna g...
One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. one world, one meaning.
A man that's lost everything holds his faith in his heart.
Speaks to God of broken dreams, never wondering why when nothing's heard ... one prayer.
A woman cries in frustration, her man holds it inside.
They forgot what got them here, the vows they promised to stand by ... one love.
One life is lik...

Behind my eyes
I keep my truth from you.
No one enters
this secret place,
the barrier only I embrace
Time is fleeting now
they say.
Take time to look inside
and face ... the change.
Dig down deep
to find the man I thought I was.
A dog on the treadmill panting,
the master pulls the leash, laughing.
Now I can?t remember why
I needed to run, needed to try so hard.

You're an angel with your wings broken,
wearing sandals that I tripped in.
You're a holiday already taken,
a c***tail that's stirred never shaken.
Your heads in overload.
You've reached your threshold
and you're about to explode.
Open your eyes. Just say what you want to say?
Open your eyes, you see yours isn't the only way .
Open your eyes. To you everyone is blind.
Open your eyes and your mi...
It just takes a minute
And you'll feel no pain
Gotta make something of your life boy
Give me one more vein
You've come to see the doctor
'Cause I'll show you the cure
I'm gonna take away the questions
Yeah, I'm gonna make you sure, yeah
A hit man for the order
When you couldn't go to school
Had a skin job for a hair do
Yeah, you looked pretty cool
Had a habit doing mainline

Little girl sits in the corner
locked in a stare.
Arms waiving madly at something
that sadly isn?t there.
Dressed in the day?s best by a nurse
who?s nowhere to be found.
What does she see ?
Maybe she?s looking at me.
Old man is strapped to the seat of his chair
wearing a gown,
shouting and cursing at someone who clearly
isn?t around.
Father Time has twisted his mind. The staff sa...
Watching the sand fall
Listening for the knock upon my door
And waiting for Promised Land
Standing neck deep in life
My ring of brass lay rusting on the floor, is this all?
'Cause it's not what I expected
Somewhere along the way
Friends I once held close fled in the fast lane
I didn't notice, I just had to make it
Head down, nose to the grindstone
The kiss of life placed on my brow
Kept slidin...
Wings of fire, are sailing past the point of no return
Blinding eyes, from which it hides the key
Seek to rise, begotten are the fools who'll never know
Force will hide the presence that we see
There's no time to run away
A prophecy will make its stay
Course of rage, a never ending fight for the unknown
To justify the formulated scheme
So we find a gleaming light to lead us far beyond
The clos...
In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
She will find her way
Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades
There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
The Queen of the R...
I know where I'm going,
and I've got all my cards showing.
I'm like the crow flies, a straight line
reaching for the other side
I dig the sand they kick at me with a calm that stuns.
Tracing time with no alibis makes me, makes me realize.
It's ok it's just a dream I had.
That there's something out there,
something, just out of reach
Armed with time on my side
and a field of vision miles wide.
...
Strange, the view from here
Words we spoke, forgotten at the time
Now replay in my mind
What went wrong, what was right
Looking back, I never was there for you
You didn't say, but I know it's true
I can't find the real world alone
Every time I think I've won
I hear your voice inside, questioning
Where have you gone
Can't you remember feeling so alone
You always had the anwer that I could not s...
For just one minute, step into my life.
Read the page and
run away with me.
The day I made that vow.
I didn't know then what I know today.
There's so much to say.
I don't know what the future holds
and I'm sorry if I seemed too cold.
A man conflicted in his head
makes poor choices, regrets the words he said.

The way I held you.

Protests in New York
Listen to the call of the wild
Brother, sisters carrying signs
Breathe deep before it's too late
The sky is falling, burning your eyes
Down in New Orleans river's boiling
Nothing living, nothing to eat
Thank the Lord, daddy's working 8-5
Paying the doctor, baby's got cancer
Give and take
Has all we've learned been wrong?
Look around at what we've been given

For a price I'd do anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
You'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance
On a new kind of vision is due

Lying here awake again.
Minutes before dawn I hear your breathing,
your heart beat like a song.
Lately I've been feeling a little less then good but
seeing things for the first time like I never could.
I've had my head down against the door,
trying to get to something I couldn't find before.

Hey, are you okay? better luck on another day. this path some weren't meant to follow.
You're curious I can see, always looking behind the trees. keeping one eye on tomorrow.
Re-engineer your head, is really what the door mouse said. push the lies away.
If you take time and look for clues ...scrape the shit off your shoes, you'll feel the real today.

Most of this is memory now
I've gone too far to turn back now
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
Then again I'm maybe more
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Releasing the names from the circle
Maybe I can leave here now and, o
Transcend the boundaries
For now I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
The future is but past forgotten
On the road to madness
Times measure rusts...

Iced over, close your eyes. whisper the flame, it takes us higher.
Seems our world is closing around. when I'm inside you, you bring me to sacred ground.
When I'm inside you, you bring me to sacred ground.
Now you're the one that I want, you know it's true.
Let go of everything, open up to me.

I opened my eyes,
barely alive, without you.
Feeling no pain, I'm not the same without you.
Save me Save me
Watching you watching
me from afar, I'm... drowning. Feeling as though
we've been here before. Know what I mean?
There's a river in your eyes and I'm swept away
Breaking inside out, promising to stay
Together again, a lifetime stranded apart

Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to the one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without a seem or needlework
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And gather it all with...
I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me

But the hate's alive

Hush now don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night

It's time to sack up and let go of your mothers.
Take your gun, it's the cross that's carried by your brothers.
A sliver is all there is, a sliver of the old you.
Underneath the skin, buried deep,
there's a man. There's a soldier in you.
What you doing here?
Welcome to the show
There's only one man you can trust,
he's the one at your side.

Used to be a time
we held the world.
Wrapped 'round our finger tips
Laughing at what others missed. Someday, yesterday
The magic we felt went away.

so I can go find it now. I can't live your way.
Go ahead without me.
I'll find my own way

When I fell from grace
I never realized
how deep the flood was around me.
A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boil,
and the water left scars on me.
I know now who I am.
If only for a while,
I recognize the changes.
I feel like I did before the
magic wore thin and the ?baptism

They used to say I was

I played by all their rules, went to their right schools
Who was I to question?

I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame

Death Angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause

Speak the word

Without I beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
And waiting for the call, she feeds my skin
Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in Times Square working Live S and M shows
Twenty-five bucks a f*** and John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away and it's back on the streets again

My face feels the wet

Flashing lights as people race
To find shelter from the pour
Moving silent, through the streets

To saintly faces hallowed
Be their names she can't recall

We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
To late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold

From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way

When I asked him,
he described a thousand lifetimes.
At each turn, a hint of what one still must learn.
Now I've read the thoughts of philosophers,
the words of liars, who say that underneath I'm worthless.
Incomplete?
Some one said we live our lives in between the extremes.
Is the art of life discipline?
Is that the sweet mystery?
The art of life is ...

pull me from the edge.
I close my eyes and....

even when that boot comes down.
Waiting for the revolution but there's no one around except the

There's always something there watching out for me,
if I'm suffocating, it gives me air.

Mother hides her face.
She drops to her knees,
her sacrifice complete.
The last of her line.
What's left of her name?
Nothing will ever be the same.
I'm not sorry for what I had to do.
It must be done.
You know g'd rewards the winner.
Now I'm on my knees again,
give me strength to win.
If I stop to listen,
I hear "Voices" in the wind.

I just need time to comprehend your changes
There's always been these changes in you
I remember that there was a time when
Fears we had we left behind and we danced
But it seems the more we learn
We learn that it's
Over, Over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me with words
Forget if you can
The way you moved when our hands touched
You forced me to forc...
On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Casting shadows through my hair
In the distance I saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wor...
Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can?t explain this holy pain
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again, they?ve got my number
Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game
I?ll...
"I've had enough and I want out"
"You can't walk away now."
I looked back once
And all I saw was his face
Smiling, the needle crying
Walking out of his room
With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream
You'll never get away
Cold and shaking
I crawled down alleys to try
And scrape away the tracks that marked me
Slammed my face into walls of concrete
I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall
...
Another hungry look in her eyes again
Pacing the floor the hunt begins
Skin tight leather provides my pleasure
Wake my fear, surge with the pressure
Walk away and leave forever, do I dare?
Raise my eyes, she stands
Holding out healing hands
Are you happy now?
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
With fear as my friend
I walk the thin line one more time for you
Addictive face pr...
am I still alive?
I think I've got it right.
I'm, I'm made of light.
Before I leave and go away,
I have some things that I must say.
Before I am gone.
Finally now I see,
there's so much inside of me.
Is everyone innocent?
The blood on the ground is almost dry
I'll take this chance, I'll try...
I'll try to tell you...
There's so many possibilities,
that I'm just starting to see.

Taken to a place underground,
a cavern, ten thousand steps down.
The only light was fire fly glow,
reflecting in the blue crystal show.
Feeling in the darkness surrounding me,
roots of giant Sequoia trees
anchor the canopy of life that's above.
The answer to the mystery of life is
Traveled through the jungles of the Yucatan
and drank the potion from the magic man.

We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now, what's done, what's through?

When the fire starts the pain's too much for your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine

I remember I was asking why
And someday you said I'd know
All these years, of fighting hard
And now it's finally come too close
I can't believe it's now happening to me
Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years
Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time
Time to cry your tears Now cry
The child of centuries, forgotten in time
You talk in circles of rhyme
Seer of places future and past
The warning...
You've come to me again my friend. I've been waiting so long.
Life seems strange and hard sometimes, maybe I won't make it this time.
Oh they've taken all I have, but I just need what's left of today, and you can wash it all away.
When it all comes down and I'm feeling tired and afraid,
You're always there, and seem come when I've nothing left to give away.
Now I wait for your winds to come an...

Please man, make it all make sense.
Gotta be some man to keep a promise, you can count on this.
Wot kind of man are you?
Tell me, tell me what do I do?
When you left you took part of me, all the things I'll never see.
I fake it, break it, whatever makes it right, can't see the truth through the web of all your lies.

Danger eyes like mine scan the room
no one over the line gets out alive.
Pieces of insincerity
are like the stuff upon which we feed.
Do I feed you?
It goes on and on, this insanity,
The game of us and them we play.
On and on admit that we like it this way.
I'm upside down, inside out for you.
No matter what goes down, I'll still be there for you.

I trace what's left of my
cold steel...as it twitches.
Apply the tourniquet tight.
Savor the moment, this might be my last sip of life.
I see at least one hundred miles
Of shifting, stirring sand.
A forsaken man in this strangers' land.
They've left me for...dead.
I'm so tired of feeling scared
but I've got to find a way.

Whatever happens now
is beyond my control.
Emotion has abandoned me.
Faded away and left me...cold.
The call's been made.
I'm here, dependent on the atmosphere
contained inside this mask I wear.
My breathing is all I hear.
I've got the target switch in hand.
I just feel numb, scanning the
ground at the hell that I'll make.
I'm above it in the air.
Flying high above the city walls

It's harder than I thought,
to be so far away.
So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain.
For me it wasn't easy to raise the flag and leave.
But I thought that you should know how
much you mean to me.
I won't be there to see you dance and hear
you sing the songs we love.
So please be strong and it won't be long till
I'm home again.
You know you make me proud
because you're the one ...
What ever happened to conviction and faith?
People trip from side to side; don't know
which way or what side to take.
Always known the truth.
It's really black and white.
I've got no fear of judgment when it's time to fight.
We shout so loud so
that everyone can hear it.
Coming on hard like a head-on collision.
Machine like something
won't stop won't care.
Keep it all down with a
Hundred Mile ...
I have so much more to say, my brother.
Can you hear me?
A fool is left to live as the brave ones fall.
I swear if I were able,
I would have done the same for you.
But now you're gone and I wish I were too.
I spend all my time asking questions,
How can I pay you back when
the price you paid was so high, my friends.
If I were King of all I imagine,
I would trade all I am
to have you by my side....
Hey, I'm okay.
Another day, another nightmare begins.
And the sound that I hear
is the relentless firing in my head.
Shifting gear in the driver's seat as
the finger of g'd signals me
and this concrete bloodline carries me.
Never thought I'd bring the war back home.
I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war
for a cause I never had the chance,
didn't understand the score.
They told me that I'd be oka...
Wake up Buck up and listen
Where am I?
Head reeling, I guess I wasn't dreaming.
Heart racing. Hard to breathe.
You were right.
Got myself here in the middle of Hell.
It's all right. I'll be all right.
All right.
Laser light shines bright behind me.
Can't see what's ahead or beside me.
Everyone here has a gun.
We drive straight down the centerline.

Don't slam the door on your way out
Don't leave without saying goodbye
Another long distance night alone
You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more
Last word today, coming home to stay?
Wouldn't that be nice for a while?
But now my take-out food is growing cold
And the candle's burned a hole in the floor
I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
I'm all alone
It's another rainy night...
You and I long to live like the wind upon the water
If we close our eyes, we'll maybe realize
There's more to life than what we have known
And I can't believe, I've spent so long
Living lies, I knew were wrong inside
I've just begun to see the light
Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two
Leaving all I loved behind, for what nobody knew
Stepped out on the stage, alive under lig...

No one home to catch me when I fall
Young man now in a private chair
I've seen the world through a bitter stare

I wanna be a busy man, I wanna see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I wanna write for a magazine, I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen

Live there all the time
Keep your memories tied with string
The face that many once adored
Twenty years gone maybe more
Somewhere you lost the dream
Mama watched your every move

Daddy left some time ago
Fading years pass too slow
He's the only one, could make you smile, smile
Oh, you're still crying
Big city ...
Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what's wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
They're building empire
Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
He's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the street a...
All eyes were staring you floated through the room
Aarmed with your razor smile cutting to the bone
My voice fell useless you flashed a quick "Hello"
Feeling the fool, could you tell it showed?
But that was "sometime ago"
A memory vague and fading slow, of somewhere I'd been
Hand on heart
A promise, a word, and a voice
Hand on heart
A rhythm of hope and choice will keep us together
I don't kno...
Every time I leave
You say you won't be there
And you're always there
Every time I cry your name at night
You pull close and say it's alright
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat
Of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you
Jet City Woman
It's a long way...
Protests in New York
Listen to the call of the wild
Brother, sisters carrying signs
Breathe deep before it's too late
The sky is falling, burning your eyes
Down in New Orleans river's boiling
Nothing living, nothing to eat
Thank the Lord, daddy's working 8-5
Paying the doctor, baby's got cancer
Give and take
Has all we've learned been wrong?
Look around at what we've been given
Maybe we've tak...
Hush now don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child...
Another hungry look in her eyes again
Pacing the floor the hunt begins
Skin tight leather provides my pleasure
Wake my fear, surge with the pressure
Walk away and leave forever, do I dare?
Raise my eyes, she stands
Holding out healing hands
Are you happy now?
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
With fear as my friend
I walk the thin line one more time for you
Addictive face pr...

Hear In The Now Frontier |
You mystify with the things that you say.
You're telling me you're leaving, that you're going away
to take a trip to find, and leave behind the love.
I've got a destination, a suggestion for you.
You won't need a jet plane or a luxury cruise.
Just take a look in my eyes, and realize the love.
I can't live without us,
so I hope that you will
stay with me forever.
It's all I want from you.

My point of view is expanding everyday
and I feel with clarity my vision sway.
Your private access takes me all the way.
yeah
I am amplified by what's inside of you.
I feel your energy is something I can't loose.

I love the way that you move me,
It's never enough, I've got to have you,anytime/anywhere that's all.

Hey you cuckoo
See you're in the paper late today, accused of something,
and your lips are closed to all of those who know she's missing.
Talk abounds she won't be found alive and that's a pity.
I read about all of these crimes. When will it end?
Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way.
I'm tired of the insane running things,
and I won't stop tryin' for change.
Seems the town's ablaz...
I've been wondering what's eating at your head?
The cheap way you handle things, the slander that you spread.
Making misery is the way you spend your time.
I think it's safe to say when it comes to truth you're blind
Whatever happened is over now for you.
With you there's nothing, that you wouldn't do.
Nothing you wouldn't do.
Now it's time to get a life, you gotta get a life.
Now it's time to...
Looking for salvation, I'm blind.
Thought contamination, I find.
Greedy spiders talk to me in my head.
I think I'm drifting.
I'm in the big machine. My next hero's calling.
Who knows what he may bring to me?
Government intrusion, again.
Cultural illusion, offends.
Grain of sand in traffic jam, and I'm late.
I think I'm drifting.
I'm in the big machine. My next hero's calling.
Who knows what sh...
Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run.
Corporation greed, television need,
overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar.
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.
I'm going down...
to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Bullets in the gun, gonna have...
Where I'm looking everything seems clear.
Not a worry as I float up here. Press me to explain?
Searching deep down for the answer.
I see the world in a different light, busy changing,
rearranging. I'll be missing
for a while, I've got a few things on my mind.
Please leave me alone on this day.
I'm in conversation miles away.
Please leave me alone this afternoon,
I'm in meditation high above.
F...
I know where I'm going,
and I've got all my cards showing.
I'm like the crow flies, a straight line
reaching for the other side
I dig the sand they kick at me with a calm that stuns.
Tracing time with no alibis makes me, makes me realize.
It's ok it's just a dream I had.
That there's something out there,
something, just out of reach
Armed with time on my side
and a field of vision miles wide.
...
I opened my eyes,
barely alive, without you.
Feeling no pain, I'm not the same without you.
Save me Save me
Watching you watching
me from afar, I'm... drowning. Feeling as though
we've been here before. Know what I mean?
There's a river in your eyes and I'm swept away
Breaking inside out, promising to stay
Together again, a lifetime stranded apart
Save me Save me
Watching you watching

Wrapped 'round our finger tips
Laughing at what others missed. Someday, yesterday
The magic we felt went away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
They told me to run
But just how far
Can I go wearing the black mask of fear?
The hate in my eyes always gives me away
The tension building slowly
Now I've lost everything I had in you
Nothing we shared means a thing
Without you close to me
I can't live without you
Breaking the silence of the night
Can't you hear me screaming?
I look for your face in the neon light
You never answer me
There's ...
Anybody home? Mary?
Even in death
You still look sad
Don't leave me
Don't leave me here
I want what you feel
Believe me, turn the current on
All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mir...
I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I'd never find her
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in...
Empty room today and here I sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times, oh, the night she died
Why? Why?
There's no sleep today, I can't pretend
When all my dreams are crimes, I can't stand facing them
Now who will come to wash away my sins
Clean my room, fix my meals, be my friend?
It just takes a minute
And you'll feel no pain
Gotta make something of your life boy
Give me one more vein
You've come to see the doctor
'Cause I'll show you the cure
I'm gonna take away the questions
Yeah, I'm gonna make you sure, yeah
A hit man for the order
When you couldn't go to school
Had a skin job for a hair do
Yeah, you looked pretty cool
Had a habit doing mainline
Watch the dragon bu...
For a price I'd do anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
You'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance
On a new kind of vision is due
I used ...
Most of this is memory now
I've gone too far to turn back now
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
Then again I'm maybe more
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Releasing the names from the circle
Maybe I can leave here now and, o
Transcend the boundaries
For now I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
The future is but past forgotten
On the road to madness
Times measure rusts...
They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death Angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us
I've given my life to become what I am
To preach the new beginning
To make you understand
To reach some point of order
Utopia in mind, you'...
She always brings me what I need
Without I beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
And waiting for the call, she feeds my skin
Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in Times Square working Live S and M shows
Twenty-five bucks a f*** and John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away and it's back on the streets again
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
F...
10 p.m.
I feel the rain coming down
My face feels the wet
My mind the storm
Flashing lights as people race
To find shelter from the pour
Moving silent, through the streets
They're mine, they're mine
Midnight
She sings praises in the hall
To saintly faces hallowed
Be their names she can't recall
Sister Mary, Virgin Mary
Silent with her sin
She feels me, I can taste
Her breath when she speaks

On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Casting shadows through my hair
In the distance I saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wor...
Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can?t explain this holy pain
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again, they?ve got my number
Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game
I?ll...
"I've had enough and I want out"
"You can't walk away now."
I looked back once
And all I saw was his face
Smiling, the needle crying
Walking out of his room
With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream
You'll never get away
Cold and shaking
I crawled down alleys to try
And scrape away the tracks that marked me
Slammed my face into walls of concrete
I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall
...
Cries from the aisles
The tolling of the judgment bell
Eyes watched the violence
The absence of those who have seen
Marks the faith of the spell
Cold is the viper, stalking the night for the heat
It must find, time is the promise
Delivered with stunning consistency
Line after line, time after time the innocent victim awaits
Please take my hand, don't be afraid
I am your master, you are my slav...

All my life ... behind me.
You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn't see,but where I've always been ... an island.
In my dreams I've been an island ...
Where I'm all alone, and I've built these walls stone by stone.

When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense,
And when words can't hide their anger or intent.
I feel it in my bones and in my head, can't make sense of what is said.
Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown.

Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face.

Miles of desert fly, the quiet of dawn.

I feel the heart of conscious returning, that's why the man is burning.

Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it's like on the other side.
Because I'm here on the inside of blue, without you.
Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.
Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks like hell. I think I need to see a doctor.

How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how everything would change.
How could I know?

How could I know?

I ain't no romeo. I'm just the man for you.
Holding out as secrets travel, they kind of get to you.
Everybody says that it could've been something.
Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.

Liquid sky ... always hearing voices, like no more choices in disguise.

One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. one world, one meaning.
A man that's lost everything holds his faith in his heart.
Speaks to God of broken dreams, never wondering why when nothing's heard ... one prayer.
A woman cries in frustration, her man holds it inside.
They forgot what got them here, the vows they promised to stand by ... one love.

Life seems strange and hard sometimes, maybe I won't make it this time.
Oh they've taken all I have, but I just need what's left of today, and you can wash it all away.
When it all comes down and I'm feeling tired and afraid,
You're always there, and seem come when I've nothing left to give away.
Now I wait for your winds to come an...
Don't know you man or where you're from.
some say a crazy man, came undone.
Please man, make it all make sense.
Gotta be some man to keep a promise, you can count on this.
Wot kind of man are you?
Tell me, tell me what do I do?
When you left you took part of me, all the things I'll never see.
I fake it, break it, whatever makes it right, can't see the truth through the web of all your lies.
Wo...

From the night comes a roar of thunder
Beholding light on the spell you're under
And the signs of death descend your way
Fighting back from the devil's hunger
Freeing souls from their chosen number
And the sword of right will guide your way
And thus you'll find that only demons fill your mind until you wake
But only time will tell the answer you've been blinded from today
Burning dreams cause ...
Beware of night for we all know he's loose again
Behind him lies the eyes of mercy and despair
Forever living out his nightmare comes to life
From hell this spell will find its way to you
Tonight
Tonight
A thousand cries are heard, they echo in the wind
And still the rider will unleash his chosen sin
The victims of his rage are soldiers of his mind
His scream will heed the call of those who st...
Wings of fire, are sailing past the point of no return
Blinding eyes, from which it hides the key
Seek to rise, begotten are the fools who'll never know
Force will hide the presence that we see
There's no time to run away
A prophecy will make its stay
Course of rage, a never ending fight for the unknown
To justify the formulated scheme
So we find a gleaming light to lead us far beyond
The clos...
In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
She will find her way
Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades
There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
The Queen of the R...

Rage For Order |
I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall
Outside your balcony I have a room with a view
And I'm watching you
I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door till you're asleep at night
And when you're alone I know when you
Turn out the light
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-Oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm g...
There's a cold wind out tonight
The chill of distant eyes
An orbit survey finds...your mind
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight...
There's a thought that fills your mind
A vision of time
When knowledge was confined
And then we wonder how machines
Can steal each other's dreams
From points that are unseen...It's real
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came t...
It was November 4th
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave
I thought you'd never go
I wish I could just remember your name...
You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer
Your eyes alight with flame
As the picture burns
I hear the screams from long ago
They cry remember, blood-red streaks on
velvet throat...
Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream
Hail the new arrival on
Static signs from a distant wanderer
Fill the air nights are never seen
Face the electric time shock now
No it's not a dream anymore
I will light the way for us to find
Order of a new kind
Join us on the stay the road is mine
Poets line in a rhyme of silence
Gathered from the winter air
Warms the children's eyes...
I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me
I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're re...
It's lonely in the field
that we send our fighters to wander
They leave with minds of steel
It's their training solution
We've programmed the way
It leads us to order
There's no turning back
A Surgical Strike
We've taught them not to feel
performance is their task
A Surgical Strike
Its time is arriving now for you
The plan for the day
will be swift as the lightning they harness
The atom displa...
Wait for me I'll understand
I just need time to comprehend your changes
There's always been these changes in you
I remember that there was a time when
Fears we had we left behind and we danced
But it seems the more we learn
We learn that it's
Over, Over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me with words
Forget if you can
The way you moved when our hands touched
You forced me to forc...
Cries from the aisles
the tolling of the judgement bell
Eyes watched the violence
the absence of those who have
seen, marks the faith of the spell
Cold is the viper
stalking the night for the heat
It must find
Time is the promise
delivered with stunning consistency
line after line, time after time
the innocent victim awaits...
Please take my hand
Don't be afraid
I am your master
You are my sla...
What? You say you're through with me? I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now, what's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me, oh, I need you
When the fire starts the pain's too much for your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
So just come to me, I'll take you home
We'll wa...

The Warning |
Red gates of iron cast their
Black shadows on this land
Dividing souls... far below
The gathering winds the armies watch
Are rising from the west
Foretelling news... of freedom's hand
In secrecy they've infiltrated
All of our strongholds
Controlling more... year after year
So we've let this happen all along
Believing what's been said
Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear
We watch the sun r...
Born into darkness in Saturn's sight
Riding the night like the wind
Ripping the heart form a world that is right
Treading the borders of sin.
Child of fire
The souls that are damned
By the pain that you bring
Send you higher
Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing
To the ends of the earth you will fly
Conquering masses in wanton deception
Blood-red your black flag waves high
Child ...
Ride swift across the plain
Don't you turn back, keep heed in your flame
Kings with no mercy, this planet at war
Torn from enchantment, this land forevermore
Born from obsession, you cried death for light
You saw things before and after you died
Back from beyond to rule again
But this life denies you its fight to the end
Back from the dawn
Deliver us right from wrong
Kings forge the way
For yo...
Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown
The blackness surrounding the border of hope
We're alone
We plead for the signs of a second chance
In hopes it will stifle the fear
The dying remains of a world gone insane
We are near the end
A course that will lead us through darkness
Prepared by our leaders insist
We mustn't all pray to the shadow of
The iron fist
We enter the void ...
Uniform printout reads end of line
Protect code intact leaves little time
Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed
My hands shake, my push buttons silence
The outside crowd
One world government has outlawed war among nations
Now social control requires population termination
Have we come too far
To turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym for
This savagery, disguised in
...
There's a certain feeling
Known to all who hear the sound
The call of morning rising
You're in a mystic space
Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind
As it names you
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
...
We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
To late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold
From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way
So take hold o...
I remember I was asking why
And someday you said I'd know
All these years, of fighting hard
And now it's finally come too close
I can't believe it's now happening to me
Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years
Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time
Time to cry your tears Now cry
The child of centuries, forgotten in time
You talk in circles of rhyme
Seer of places future and past
The warning...

Thank-you for the lies, the lies you sold us.
Thank-you for this vision of violence.
Thank-you for this song you gave me to sing.
Thank-you for the capping day
of a culture that lay dying.
Yes it's us dying.
Maybe it won't be long,
now that it's all gone on.
It's all gone wrong and
there's blood on our hands.
We saw them lying there
with their arms around each other,
staring through...

With a simple wave,
her hand creates my universe.
She spins and dances around the fire.
Eyes search the open road,
caught up in the sound of
transmissions burning down the wire.
We reach out for the sky
and were never coming down.
We reach out for the sky
and were never coming down.
Live life in extreme
better then any magazine could ever hope to describe.
Ripped, ...
DeGarmoTate
We are all equal but we're individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.
We find faith and strength in the most unlikely places
and love sometimes eludes us, but we try.
We keep searching and one day we find ...
life goes on and around like a wheel
it keeps on turning, that's the deal.
Why are we running?
We're running so fast to keep from falling behind.

I'd reconciled my anger got outside of danger.
I was waiting for some signal, a sign from angels.
it's a strange sensation, a revelation of imagination.
When the tide turns against you
I could change my course and face the flow,
reap the seeds that I had sewn or follow that old river south.
Here's what I found out.
Trying to find my truth, define it for myself.
I was standing on the Great Divi...
StoneTate
There's a thunder in my head,
a roar I can't escape.
I can't ignore this certain fate
I'm experiencing something.
I can't explain.
There's a frame of reference fragile at best.
An itching fear that's stronger than the rest.
Follow the black ribbon into the sun.
Push it further baby, careful with this burnout now.
I'm losing myself in you
and trying to get back to me.
But I'm so far a...
You're an angel with your wings broken,
wearing sandals that I tripped in.
You're a holiday already taken,
a c***tail that's stirred never shaken.
Your heads in overload.
You've reached your threshold
and you're about to explode.
Open your eyes. Just say what you want to say?
Open your eyes, you see yours isn't the only way .
Open your eyes. To you everyone is blind.
Open your eyes and your mi...

Lying here awake again.
Minutes before dawn I hear your breathing,
your heart beat like a song.
Lately I've been feeling a little less then good but
seeing things for the first time like I never could.
I've had my head down against the door,
trying to get to something I couldn't find before.
That special something, that feeds my soul,
is a rhythm to live by, it's a rhyth...
DeGarmoTate
When I asked him,
he described a thousand lifetimes.
At each turn, a hint of what one still must learn.
Now I've read the thoughts of philosophers,
the words of liars, who say that underneath I'm worthless.
Incomplete?
Some one said we live our lives in between the extremes.
Is the art of life discipline?
Is that the sweet mystery?
The art of life is ...
without rushing, without fa...
JacksonRockenfieldTateWilton
Taken to a place underground,
a cavern, ten thousand steps down.
The only light was fire fly glow,
reflecting in the blue crystal show.
Feeling in the darkness surrounding me,
roots of giant Sequoia trees
anchor the canopy of life that's above.
The answer to the mystery of life is
Traveled through the jungles of the Yucatan
and drank the potion from the magic man.
