You're speeding down the road with living on your mind
This travesty you're leading is deceiving you will find Just when you think you've had enough you think you've had your fill You turn the corner there it lies Poor little roadkill Hey - Time Is Wasted, Hey - Time Is Wasted Your conscience full of gulit as you pass the corpse on by You start to wonder what its like & how it feels to die Flashbacks of Vietnam the training sergeant's drill Murdered comrades strewn about Just like the Roadkill Hey - Time Is Wasted, Hey - Time Is Wasted Your term of existence left some lines upon your face Welts of dishonesty of the bloody human race People in their masses forget with drugs & oills Sins left upon the body of the Poor little Roadkill Hey - Time Is Wasted, Hey - Time Is Wasted So Come forward - step in line & come & meet your fate Cause that's not your mother's chicken dinner lying on your plate It's mankind's distorted view frying on the grill Behold the future from the eyes of the Poor little Roadkill 02. Searching Forever
The shimmering lights in the distance move closer
Breaking the speed of sound As Lightning from heaven lights up the sky Shooting it's beams to the ground So far away from home they fly Searching forever lost in the sky They gather their weapons in fear for their lives They delve into lands unknown Travel the desert crossing the plains Into the danger zone So far away from home they fly Searching forever they fly Their planet was conquered by merciless leaders They fled the enemy line Packed up their ship & planned their escape Across the sea of time So far away from home they fly Searching forever lost in the sky In search of an answer a peaceful existence Souls that bleed to be free No power no glorious kingdom or reign No end to this misery So far away from home they fly Searching forever lost in the sky 03. Snake Pit
When it comes to heartbreakers I believe you take the cake
You could charm a rattle off a rattle snake I've been hearing voices inside my head Screaming you've been sleeping in someone else's bed I'm gonna shock you (shock you!) till you realise You're playing witha snake about to rise Knock you to your senses for the sweet revenge of it Drop you in & watch you squirm in the s - s - snake pit There must be a better way to keep you from yourself Fill you with psycotic dreams for your state of mental health But you like the tough approach I know it all too well I thought I'd found a way to change youur evil deeds Lock you in a padded cell & throw away the key Climbing the walls in a state of confusion Caught up in the bottom of a snake pit of illusion I'm gonna shock you (shock you!) Shock you one more time 04. Nostradamus
In the days of ancient mystery was a man who saw through dreams
The legions marching one by one to the sound of the keepers drum The future so plain to see mankinds destiny Lookaway Grains of sand are sifting one by one in time the damage will be done Shocking tales will be sung Misery was spread by land - Nostradomis had the sleight of hand To cure his city from the plague - stop his people from an early grave The power of mind revealed - the fate of the country sealed Lookaway Things are never asa they seem A cloudy vision of a dream Do you see what I see? Will we find a new resting place Mankind left without a trace Time after time & again we hear what it's like to live in fear Existing actions seem to mime past & present political crimes We must succeed to infiltrate cut the fuse of the government red tape Lookaway Grains of sand are sifting one by one in time the damage will be done Shocking tales will be sung In the days of ancient prophecy there was a man who saw through dreams Manmade mountains would crumble & fall judgement day will kill us all No time to cure our actions wrong we must follow our fate along Lookaway Things are never as they seem A cloudy vision of a dream Do you see what I see? 05. It Seems To Me
Lost inside - lost inside your mind
When you find yourself you're a million miles away Lost inside - lost inside your mind After all these years you know ther's nothing left to say It seems to me you thought your life was made of gold And you found your sanctuary in the stories that you told But once again you made it plain to me That you found yourself alone with only fantasies Do you remember when there was a time you had it all And in your mind you'd hear the echoes of that mighty roar They're only memories that shrivelled up & died And you'll wake one day to find that life has passed you by Now can't you see they left you standing in the rain Cause you tried too hard & finally drove yourself insane But you can't believe that's the way it has to be Cause you cast your lot deciding your own destiny 06. Lost Stranger
I saw you with her standing there
Acting like you don't care I'm in love with a lost stranger You give me all your alibis You know I know that they're all lies I'm in love with a lost stranger And when I put you in your place You slap me in the face You always pull me down You're thunder & lightning by my side Flashing - pounding like the tide I'm in love with a lost stranger I'll wrap you up in barbed wire Get the bait - light the fire I'm in love with a lost stranger You know it blows my mind When I see your kind Always running wild Forget your burdens & your fears Tonight's the night for no more tears I'm in love with a lost stranger The only thing we'll leave behind Is the pain you left from lying I'm in love with a lost stranger This time I'll see you through But the next one it's on you And no more running wild 07. The Warning
Where were you when I first called to you
And where were you when it was time To take the others to their final place And lead the way through that which seemed to Need no guide I guess you think you've got it all worked out Cause life has been an easy street so far And you found the road you think you should be travelling on Why would you look for anything else While you are young I am here to tell you It makes no difference where you're from Where you've been & what you've done Will stay with you untill the end of time So listen - Tomorrow might find us both somewhere Into the fire There will come a time without a warning When you'll have to take your place among the line You can't say you hadn't got a warning Why would you listen to me or anyone else While you are young Keep away from the fire Forget about the times you left behind You've got your whole life lying there in front of you Why would you want to go find that road You left behind 08. The Congregation
Remember when there was a time
When you couldn't congregate When just one ruler took control Of your moralistic fate In helpless minds not free to think Our music's standing trial The congregation's losing sleep Their words are turning vile The jury's tightly fisted hands Are sporting huge erections With eyes that cross & nostrils flared They point in our direction Tainted fumes of poison breath Pollute the air with hate It seems that their perception of reality's A little late They're the congregation - Send your money,save your soul Crusading what they choose to call The generation curse Narrow minds still preaching us Not for better,but ffor worse And what's that constant number At the bottom of the screen Donate your whole bank account For all your hopes & dreams So if you're down & full of doubt And with his guidance you'll find That life is but a bubble But what's the need for money dear? When love is at your door Me think's what you're raging Is a bloody holy war They're the congregation,Send your money,save your soul Hammer head flowers - Spewing crow hate Like ever searching ghosts - Seeking goblin mate Woodpeckers pecking - Looking for a meal Fate commands puppets like a gambler's lucky wheel The prosecution's clamour is seeping through the walls Dripping from the ceilings - Creeping through the halls Come forward take your vow - to help the cause Time is of the essence - No more tug of war Their sacrilegious evidence Seems to be unreal The ones who claim our motivation Bears the devil's seal Just like the big bullies,in their glory Looking for a fight Obsessed with playing god Not what's wrong or right There is no way to buy the rank To rule eternity Sorry Bud - it's up to him Not to you or me And angels at their mercy Have glorified this case Excused them from the contest Of the failing human race They're the congregation - Send your money, save your soul Remember when there was a time When it was bad to congregate When life was sentenced exection By the magistrate With stronger minds now free to think It seems we've won our case The jury's somehow disappeared Left without a trace Archaic ways had left them blind They had no alibi Just hearts of hate & minds of fear To use to get them by We've all in common faults & fears Of one kind or another Remember what the good book says And learn to love your brother They're the congregation - Send your money, save your soul They're the congregation - Send your money, save your soul |
