01. In: Deception

[Instrumental]

02. Of Raven And Pigs

Just above the crummy river docks
You see them too don't you?
Well...I will introduce you
To the brutes
The prince and the pope
They drivel away
With so many lies to hide
The "nobles" of war
Dissemble the crux of the plague
Corruption inside

Behold the unlikely bond
Between raven and pigs
Forcing us to gobble down
Their mendacious crap
They'll eat your heart out
With a pitchfork
They want it all
They say they care, but they don't
They say they'll hear you, but they won't
They'll suck you dry like parasitic vermin
And trust me when I say;
There's no moderate cure
We gotta burn them
Let them burn

The river
Overflown with offal
Drowns me
Rubbly tales of destiny
You know what?
I am not feeling free
And I'm not alone
So put on your boots
Let them play their blues real slow
They'll fake up the news
A "makeover gameshow"
They wanna own, but say "we liberate"

Nothing really matters
When your name is just a numbered plate
Nothing really counts
They washed your mind
You want to run away
But bow your head
And follow civil plain obedience
Incomplete
Like walking in a crawlway
Evermore constrained

Nothing really matters
When your name is just a numbered plate
Nothing really counts
They washed your mind
You want to run away
But bow your head
And follow civil plain obedience
Incomplete
Like walking in a crawlway
Evermore constrained

But don't... I said; don't think
That these damn critters will ever change
It's in the very nature of the beast
Cold and dark this unholy coalition
Of raven and pigs
They are their own gods
I'm calling out to all of you
For whom meaning of life itself
Is being obliterated
I seek the brave
I seek the willing
I seek the outrage of the unforgiving
Cause this is revolution
I'm telling you
We'll march the streets
We'll smoke them out
And we'll let them burn
Let them burn
Just let them burn

03. Waywardly Broken

Pride dying
Please don't walk away
Let not my heart be lead astray
Always so gritty

Waywardly broken
From all the foul seeds I've sown
Yet born with this urge to remain
However fearful and inconclusive
The world needs a shot of love
Directly to the heart
Cause night grows darker day by day

Vividly spoken
From fall from grace to white throne
Now that the hour is late
It's so revealing, see it feel it
Where do you point your prayers
Robbed of your beliefs
When night grows darker day by day

There is truth in every moment
From these we build our palisades
The truth is able to restore
You know I'm trying, defying the known

Conquer divide
This is a war in reverse
That someone else
Victoriously fought out

Waywardly broken
From all the foul seeds I've sown
Yet born with this urge to remain
So I'll be here, I'm bound to stay

See all these moments
Make a lifetime
And every moment is a war
Knowingly falling in the nothing
And the void would never end

But there is truth in every moment
And truth is able to restore
Even the core of what is broken
You know I'm trying, defying the known

04. No Rewind

I want you to tell me
Empower my consciousness
Dice is in your warning hands
Want you to wake me
To tell me this story
I can't oppose

There's nothing
Even now the babble remains
We're getting louder
As to what we fear and own
It's revealing
And it's calling your name
Carving, charging
Whatever's ever paid

Oh won't you listen child
Seconds of swarming
We glowed
We were so royalty

There's no surrender
If the battle pursues
I do not want a bitter end
No more than you
So I come crawling
When you sputter my name
Deep within
I am guilty anyway

No rewind
Won't save us
The bell
From our indifference
Summer days
So tenacious
Rumble as they blaze
Burning sun
Burning sun
No rewind
Won't save us
The bell
From our indifference
Summer days
So tenacious
Rumble as they blaze

Rise and shine
Amaze me
Rebel and make a difference
Summer days will alight you
Rumble as they blaze

Burning sun
Fast forward
And no rewind
Burning sun
Fast forward
Burning sun
And no rewind
Let them burn

05. The Mansion

Just like denial appeals to pain
She claimed his name to thrive
A virtuos kiss was all it took
To walk away
To leave the old behind

For he resembled all
The child that was forgotten
She may have had her doubts
The odds were all or nothing

Cause she wanted to live in a mansion
White and with a view
Be one with his world forever more
She wanted to live
In the mansion of her dreams
For all her friends to see
Be living happily

Two lives beside each other
Waltzing in disharmony
True love is hard to find
Whatever mourned
He shunned her cries
And looked away
To heal his heart
To find that love was far behind

And he gave her a deal
On a mansion by the ocean
If only just to shut her out
Cause she wanted to live
In the mansion of her dreams
No less
It had to be
Simple necessity

Driving
Driving in my car
Down the highway
Shining like a star
No worry in the world
The road is smooth
The sun will set
And horizon turn to red
You feel you're free
You're rid of me finally
But you owe me just the same

She wanders the fields
By the mansion
In lonesome majesty
With no-one else to answer for
She wanted to live
In the mansion of her dreams
Forevermore

06. By The Blues

She knew the second that she hit the floor
She broke a bone or two
And no one was around to comfort
Then she caught herself thinking
Your lying is the only thing I like about you

Cause everytime you crawl back up
You try to make it better
You believe you've done this time
It's a huffin' and a puffin'
Till your head is full of nothing
And you still get torn to pieves
By the blues

Awkward feeling
Like a dog down kneeling
Won't you throw me a bone
For good old times caress me faithfully

Lies keep on calling for a big commotion
Devolutionary mad machine
You know you need
To reset your rushed equation

Lies
Even those you know you fail to follow
Make a temporarily bright tomorrow
Forevermore
You count the countless hours
As they grind

She waited seven long seconds
Door was kicked in
And a shadow came across the floor
Up the wall across the celling
Dying is a lonely thing although you want to

Suddenly there's no way back you know
And you're up against the murky undertow
It's the stuffin' in the coffin
It'll free you from the nothing
But you still get torn to pieces
By the blues

Awkward feeling
Like a dog down kneeling
Won't you throw me a bone
For good old times caress me faithfully

Lies keep on calling for a big commotion
Devolutionary mad machine
You know you need
To reset your rushed equation

Lies
Even those you know you fail to follow
Make a temporarily bright tomorrow
Forevermore
You count the countless hours
As they grind

07. Anybody Out There

Something lurking under me
And I don't know it's nature
Nor it's name
In my veins
Still carmine red but cold
Withdrawal is not too late

Is there anybody out there
To cover me
Is there anyone who cares
Is there anybody out there
Won't you come
Cut me clean
Relight the flame

I'm crying out
I deign in hope for absolution
But drag my feet
Whenever honest faith aspires
The underground
It's oh so real and dark
I kneel and ache
But doubts awake
This painful need to know
Makes me wish there was...
A middle way

Is there anybody out there
To cover me
Is there anyone who cares
Is there anybody out there
No won't you come
Cut me clean
Relight the flame

All these worries plaguing me
They're aiming for my soul
Nothing really holy remains
Or so it seems
In reality I'm circling out of sight

Is there anybody out there
To cover me
Is there anyone who cares
Is there anybody out there
Won't you come
Cut me clean
Relight the flame

Is there anybody out there
To cover me
Is there anyone who cares
Is there anybody out there
Won't you come
Cut me clean
Relight the flame

08. She Dragoon

No no no she said
I don't want your pheromones
So misplaced
Won't be brawling in this crowd
Go she said - flee while you can
You're so much older than me
I'm sure some day you'll understand

I want your name
I want you gone

Falling in and out
She made his self implode
She played a clever game
Of merely spinning idle meanings
Into a cocoon

Oh no he said
Watch dishonor be avowed
But I'll play the clown
If this game is all you know
Go she said
You gotta flee while you can
There's so much more at stake this time
But some day you'll understand

I want your name
I want you gone

Falling in and out
She made his self implode
She played a clever game
Of merely spinning idle meanings
Falling in and out
She swayed in angel mode
She played a clever game
A vicious inner fighter weaving
The she dragoon

He resigned;
Crawling once again
Need my feet back on the ground
Stalling
Want to do all the things
We said we would
Crawling once again
See my demons all around
Crawling once again
She inspired lunar debris

I want your name
I want you gone

I never told you
I love you
I never gave in
I am a soldier
A renegade
I never told you
I love you
I never gave in
I am a soldier of doubt

Falling in and out
She made his self implode
She played a clever game
Of merely spinning idle meanings
Falling in and out
She swayed in angel mode
She played a clever game
A vicious inner fighter weaving
The she dragoon

09. Feather Moves

May the mark you make
Be someone above you
And gain
In wonderful ways
Plain and clean
Clean as nothing you have made
As the starlight starts to fade
Be someone

Fight with symphatizing mother love
Be strewn with hope
Your way
And whatever may
The story ain't over
Whatever they say
Be set for disclosure
A nouveaux design
Another today
For everyone

What's a ceremony
Loud and firm "I may"
To change in our own hearts
Want to flow
Remain
Silent feather moves
This crazy worlds of ours
Is after all of us
Frail the road we make

Not for heaven's sake
But something above you
No vain unprosperous ways
Sail on by
If dependent on your will
Rest assured you're pending still
You believe you getting on
Just too weak admit you're wrong
In this season of the self
You're product on a shelf
You're no-one

Hope for harmony
In this fickle maze
For change in our own hearts
Holy water rain
Make those feather moves
This burden is too much
For either one of us
Frail the road we make

What's a ceremony
Loud and firm "I may"
To change in our own hearts
Want to flow
Remain
Silent feather moves
This crazy worlds of ours
Is after all of us
Strive for harmony
In this fickle maze
For change in our own hearts
Holy water rain
Make those feather moves
This burden is too much
For either one of us
Frail the road we make
Who are you
