In The Shadows

The prize is coveted within
But is it worth winning?
The truth could set you free
But there are things that you never want to see
Telescopes point to the dark
Looking for a sign or a spark
Never mind what you heard
What you think you saw is absurd
Was it by chance or design?
That we connected tonight
Beware of things you don’t know
Creeping around in the shadows
If knowledge is power
You’re powerless
Deceive and control
The weak and careless
Was it by chance or design?
Under fake moonlight
So many things you don’t know
Creeping around in the shadows
Keep an ear to the ground
You were a loyal servant
But there are things you don’t know
Creeping around in the shadows
Things don’t make sense
Like a magicians trick or war and violence
For the glory of the kingdom
In honour of the code
On a need to know basis
Leave no traces behind
Not by chance but design
Its all connected tonight
Beware of things you don’t know
Creeping around in the shadows

You’re the star
You’re the star of you’re own sky
You’re the truth
You’re the truth in every lie
You’re the one
You’re the only one that’s right
You’re the answer and the reason why
You’re the drug
You’re the drug I have to take
You’re the one
You’re the one that makes me break
You’re the rule
You’re the ruler of my empire
And the cure and the reason why
Kill me gently, patiently
Its unnecessary, quite contrary
The most peculiar sight
Its so ordinary, oh so scary
Im haunted and mystified
And you’re the reason why

Babies are born old people die
Time’s a concept in ya mind
Destiny is just dream
Its a word or movie scene
Galaxies of emptiness
We search for meaning in the mess
Good things come to those you wait
But I wouldn’t hold ya breath
Now we’re alone
We’re just dying to know
We’re all one step away
Only one step away
I wanna know where life ends
History holds the key
To unlock the mystery
For future reference to avoid
Centuries of misery
To all the lovers in the night
Telling lies with their eyes
Saying everything is all right
Take em by the hand and say goodbye
Now we’re alone
We’re just dying to know
We’re all one step away
Only one step away
I wanna know where life ends
Where do we go and what happens
I wanna know where life ends

Dangerous Times
02:42
|

Sent from hell
Delivered on time
Cast forth in spell
That you can’t unwind
This thing you feel
It isn’t real
By the time you realise
Your fates been sealed
Songs of salvation
From a terrified choir
Acts of desperation
As it goes down to the wire
Vultures pick the bones
After war commits the crimes
Hearts have turned to stone
These are dangerous times
The circus with its clowns
Put in charge of saving lives
It won’t be long now
Until nothing survives
Falsified
Poison minds
My oh my
These are dangerous times

All the power
That was given to you
In good faith
In its magnitude
There are battle lines
Beyond the neon lights
And an enemy
Hidin in plain sight
And now we got a oneway ticket to a wasteland
A tow truck in traffic jam
We’ve crossed the line in the sand
Ya mama won’t know what to do
And you’re not entitle to sit tight
And wait and hope it’ll be all right
There’s now an end in sight
Goodnight kiss vampire bite
So now the die is cast
You’re in denial
And now candle burns out
While ya sit there sayin
Me oh my
We feed our desires
But not the hungry
Just burn another bloody page
In our shame filled history
A oneway ticket to a wasteland
A tow truck in a traffic jam
We’ve crossed the line in the sand
Ya mama won’t know what to do
And you’re not entitled to sit tight
You’ll never make it out alive
Nowhere to run now
Goodnight kiss vampire bite
There’s only so much space
To dig so many graves
For the thieving kings that thought
They could take everything

There was no sign
In the wind or the tide
That an enemy
Of a way of life was approaching
Don’t you know we come in peace
But now you’re riddled with disease
And now you need our vaccines
And we’re gonna cut down all your trees
They were dancing on they’re graves
Turning them into slaves
They were advancing on there land
Ripping the babies from their mothers hands
To desperate cries
There’s a killer on the land
Rivers of blood run through the valleys of fire
Leaving a burning soul
The spirits yell and they moan
Down in the dust and the bones
The remnants of their homes
That was taken away
Valiant warriors fought in vain
And they got nothing but pain
What was sacred is now profane
There’ll be a reckoning for us
Because they’re still suffering
There’s a killer on the land

So Many Things

I’m more than an animal I guess
But I don’t feel anymore or any less
I’ve made so many mistakes I’d like to forget
I can’t be what you want but I can pretend
Make friends with the devil cause I can
Through his fiery lair walking hand in hand
He went to light up my cigarette and I said
I can’t be what you want but I’ll be your friend
I take medicine so that I can understand
Its all an illusion and that I’m a happy man
My shoes are on the wrong feet
Im on the right side of the wrong street
Im walking backwards to the same drum
Just a different beat
I wanna be so many things
But me isn’t one of them
I know I said I could
But I can’t pretend

I walk adorned in masquerade
I lick my wounds as if I like the taste
I wanna undo what I just undid
Replant the seed I just harvested
Look directly into the sun
Its not a matter of how but how come
In everyone there is good say some
This dream I had I was on the run
Make up your mind
Then press rewind
Reconcile it
But don’t deny
Its heartbreaking, its breathtaking
But there’s no mistaking the earth is sighing
I levitate, my head is swimming in a sea of sorrow
That they cannot be stopped
Make up your mind
Then press rewind
Reconcile it
But don’t deny
Its not the way that ya move
But the way that ya groove
