When the earth raises an army
Of the rejected and forgotten
Tremors uncover sacred devils
Implied silence
The first shot has been fired
The bullet races through the air
To the sea, in her furious waves
The people look down
Aware
Fearful
Steady
They turn away
I scream silently
No reply
It’s all over

When the song has ended
And you've learned a lesson
Yes, the song has finished
And we're amending
The message is sending

When the song has finished
When the story has ended
People are offended
Give them insight
Try as they might
Riot and fight

When you sing it to your lover
Hoping that it will boil over
If you go under cover
Do you love her?
Do you want her?
Do you need her?

Get me front row tickets to the crucifixion
Freud always spoke of oral fixation
I’ve got nothing to hide

In Jones town the bodies all dropped
Turns my stomach into knots
The master mind was never caught
He ate their souls
They ate his lies
The audience just cries

Before I lay
On my death bed
And they drop the bomb
I want to be
I want to see
The winds move mountains

Return to me
Back into my life
I’m getting sick of being beaten down
Looking for answers never found

And I do my best to never make a sound
Oh so close but way to distant
All alone with no assistance
Go away from me no, come away with me

What have I done to my life?
What have I done to my destiny?
Murdered, I killed it stopped it completely
Kicked it endlessly until blood was drawn
Too many faces to which I’m bound

I think I hear a tiny voice
It says to make a choice
I want my freedom and I need it
I want my freedom and I need
Out
Now
Out now

Senseless fight saved
Record night made
Not a word
My gracious lord
Not a word

When the song has finished
And you learned a lesson
Yes the song has ended
And were amending
The message is sending

When you sing it to your lover
Hoping that it will boil over
If you go under cover
Do you love her?
Do you want her?
Do you need her?

Who am I inside my own mind?
Deep inside the answer lies
I’m not sure what I’ll find
In the confines of my head

Throw away what’s fake
Forgive my mistakes

As I walk down this crooked street
It seems to narrow for me
My ego and my id
The infants and the old
Dividing house and home
Broaden my perception

I see more than what’s here
At last visions clear
Joy out weights my fears
Not everything’s black and white
No words for what I’ve seen
It’s all mine, it’s me

There’s always something more
Look further and examine
Find the truth, toss out the lies
And just enjoy your life

Take the blue or take the red
Take a trip inside your head
Are we living, living dead
Right is wrong and left is right
Yell and scream day is night
Beauty so serene

Hello goodbye nowhere somewhere
Going at your own pace, see the signs
The answers almost there
So clear
So near
My dear

You need to climb to the highest height
Or stay up till the end of night
Or fight an endless fight

Come on out and greet the dead
Come see where their choices lead
Their finals words left unsaid
The cannibals, the ******

It wont't last forever
It’s now or never
Nothing's forever
Get it together

Now they're all out of sight
They fought with all their might
In that endless, endless fight

Come on out and greet the dead
Come see where their choices lead
Shot on sight bleeding red

It lasts forever
It’s now or never
Nothing's for ever
Get it together

You’re something I can’t believe  
Hey there angel, no please go on
I’m so blind I should’ve known
You’d take away all my loneliness
And this is something I can’t help but to confess

My brain melts whenever you’re around
So much to say but I can’t make a sound
You’re my addiction, my only vice
I can’t believe what I see

I can’t believe you’re real
Brighter than the sun
Make my heart skip a beat
I’ve waited for so long

It runs through my head repeatedly
The idea of you just wanting me
And have someone I can call mine
I can’t keep this feeling inside

I never had this feeling before
A girl of such great candor
Your utter being mystifies
You know I just can’t believe
I can’t believe you’re real
Brighter than the sun
Make my heart skip a beat
I’ve waited for so long

Shake my world
Please be my girl

I never had this feeling before
A girl of such great candor
Your utter being mystifies
You know I just can’t believe

I can’t believe you’re real
Brighter than the sun
Make my heart skip a beat
I’ve waited for so long

I’ve known you for quite some time
Who could have known?
I had no idea you be mine
I always hoped

I can’t believe you’re real
Brighter than the sun
Make my heart skip a beat
I’ve waited for so long

Summers almost here.
Summers drawing near.
Skies clear.
Yes it’s nearly here.
We must prepare for when,
Summers here.

Sunrise, wake them kindly.
Mid day, come this way.
Sunset they walked on the uneven streets.
When shall we see?
Where shall I be?
Nature’s greed.

Sunrise, wake them kindly.
Mid day, show the way.
Sunset they walked on the uneven streets.
Summers here.
And now we see…

Summers finally here.
Summers finally here.
And the sun can shine.
The golden sun.
Skies are clear.
Summers finally here!

Stay or run, save me
Run and hide
The only rule here is, you must die
You’ll be gone by day break
But it’s fine
Yes it’s funny
Because I lied

No, I don’t know
Between right and wrong
**** the weak
But keep the strong
They can’t escape
They won’t remember
Kiss the ring
Kiss the scepter

"Spare their lives", they beg me
Choking on their fears
Their final hours are creeping near
They live in a world of blood and sand
To the death, man and man
The crowds watch them take each other’s lives
I sit front row drinking my wine

“Band together, against the empire!"
"Band together, against the empire!"
"**** the emperor, take his life!"
"**** his children, **** his wife!”
