Blood is thicker than water but nothing beats oil
Take the torch to the oil and let the blood boil Take a look at the sorry state of this place, what is it coming to But don't you dare look down on me, I've got it in for you Crawlspace, we've gotta stand up Crawlspace, the only thing we've got is just Crawlspace, we could use some help Crawlspace, help doesn't come cheap these days Walk face down through the future war zone The Russian mob is bringing lead to the bone There's a racist vigilante, he's on his kicking crusade The Chinese will eat the world unless he gets a switchblade 02. Warhead
The proud son of proud fathers, the feared and fearless me
Soldier of Armageddon, I was born to fly free Now they see a wasted resource, I'm banished, I'm scorned Lonely here in my rusty shell a restless mind hellspawned They've marched with banners and they've torn down the wall Onward to a new tomorrow, it illuminates them all I was left alone to sulk in the rift they had to heal Forgotten threat still lives on in this body of steel Warhead They say they'll make a deal, trying to pull the very last fang They think I'm asleep but I'm ready to make a bang They've got to guard against the coming of the judgment day I'll just say let there be light and there'll be hell to pay Nothing really matters now, the weak they just complain Do they think their lives somehow have any worth to gain? Naked in the blast like flies, they'll leave an oily stain Ashes will be washed away in this all consuming rain 03. I'm Here
Breath of living, heart pounding, poison stinging
Tiny voices, wrong choices, blood starts singing I never had anything to lose, no touch, nor taste My body is here for abuse, brain cells for waste Sirens calling, walls falling, fists bleeding Bones cracking, scent tracking, the void is feeding The last of me is about to go, basic primality Putting up one hell of a show, they will remember me I'm here, a terminal case of lust upholds this prison of lust I'm here, the sexiest god is pain, just gimme the ball and chain I'm here, falling proud and tall on my face, reaching grace within disgrace I'm here, at the frontline of fools, share my flesh before it cools I'm here 04. Shining Black
I've been fasting face to the dawn
From the desert of thoughts only prayers will carry on I've been waiting knees in the sand Will there be time enough for me to understand I've been breathing the air of high pass The cold reaches into my bones turning me to glass I've been bleeding but the cup's not filled I hope to see into it now, see my heart stilled Far and away from here I'd lie down and find some rest Something whispers in my ear, the hurt has found a place to nest Shining black I see you now Shining black You're made of steel Shining black I've been fighting the worm of despair The hollowed me is losing strength, maybe I don't care The demon whispers in my ear the hurt has found a home in here Shining black 05. Beyond Troy
Blind, searching the dark, stand , pray and leap
Watch, not with your eyes, the creatures of the deep Sail, the waters are black, don't rock the boat Cry the unseen away till it breaks your throat Inside a dream is where we find each other I'll follow the scent of your need There, a crack in the sky, whiteness ablaze God of thunder, he rides to impale us with his gaze Inside the storm are the hounds of the father They will find your scent if you bleed The children of love torn asunder Heavens ring, the seas cry There are things trying to pull us under Just find your wings and fly Fly to me, I'm your faithful defender Heavens ring, the seas cry My wounds are yours to tender Just find your wings and fly Fly to me Inside the soft flame of our desire I'll follow the smoke to your fire 06. Dark Star Burning
Space, time and rocketjuice, suck at the bittersweet taste
Light, sound, they mutate, paradoxic waste Face, grime, the ingrained humour, the black laughter drowns it all Flight, bound for event horizon, head on to the fall Got a crush on you You'll do some time here I will pull you through and hold you near Love binds all, it's true I'm a dark star burning Blue sky, endless spiral, get dizzy, it's all right These ways of your flesh are too small and tight You, I, the final joining, never need another one Crashrace into the heart of the eclipsed sun 07. The Scourger
I've seen the marvels of the molten flesh
I've smelt the wired nerves burn I've been at the barriers of endless time I've felt the knives of pleasure turn The bloodless wounds pulsing with energy Crack myself open, I'll have to set it free In me the scourger There are things I never thought I would see The shredded one will say all right The scourger The better me fell to the blight, I was cursed anyway I've ripped my nails climbing the razor walls I've grown new ones of steel I've skipped the conscience and its nagging calls I've thrown over the unreal The third eye, the lizard mindcries victory Split myself open, I'll have to set it free 08. Ghosts Of Me
Don't wake this child of lies, he sleeps here in me
Now I'm just his dream He sees things with my eyes, things he knows that can't be Floating in my mindstream He's been betrayed by truth, led astray by answers Bruised by all that's real So sleep my sorrowed youth while I stand guard here Afraid you'll never heal I wouldn't mind if he was lost He wouldn't mind if I was free I wouldn't mind to take the cost Strike me blind and leave me be You are me 09. The Punishment
Inhale from the barrel of my gun
Swallow these words and be blown away The spirits are here to fill me with nothing There's no one here to keep them at bay And I say No more cover-ups, no more scheming I hear it coming kicking and screaming The punishment, long due The souls convulse together, I'll never be through with you The promises under the hammer of time They're in pieces but you never heard them break Now the dreams are voided, the threats are real Come to an understanding with the mutual hate we feel I drink from the life of your soul And laugh at the wraith punched with holes You had the same idea, I'm sorry but I'm still here So gimme the kiss of life and death my dear 10. Ice
I'm the wind, I'm the snow
Taste me on the tip of your tongue I need your heat And If I have to steal it I'll do it gently There's no shame My words are sweet I've been sucking on sore hearts Knelt by the cold mountains on a starlit night I've watched the people of this earth Seen their love, their dreams Seen them losing sight There's a world of ice within me A kiss is all I need and it grows in you Pregnant with all that's lost A flower of the moon A dream that shouldn't come true No sorrier villain, a lover more sinister But this one here All of our regrets will be put away so soon The ice will be clear |
