01. Spiders And Flies

Music by Graves/Moustafa
Lyrics by Devon Graves
Lies
Only lies
Spoken by runaway eyes
I don't hear what they say
When they talk this way
Though they say everything twice

Spiders and flies
We're caught in a web and we're eaten alive
Spiders and flies
We're caught in a web and we're eaten alive

Earth is shaken
God forsaken
Paradise was overtaken
Smiles are taken
Lives are taken
Till the sleeping eyes awaken

Defy and deride
All in the name of our pride
Earthquakes and hurricanes
Wind and endless rains
Always the Earth will abide

Spiders and flies
We're caught in a web and we're eaten alive

With a smile they hope you believe in the lie
With a smile they hope you believe in the lie
When they talk this way
Leave the world this way
And they try to say I'm the one out of my mind
When we walk away
I am caught in a web and I am eaten alive

Spiders and flies
We're caught in a web and we're eaten alive

02. Sirens

Music by Graves
Lyrics by Devon Graves
Hearing sirens rush away
Fear inside of me
Tearing down my innocence
Scream their mad confession

Hear the silence deafening
Hear the flies descend
Turn and face my enemy
Twist the knives of vengeance
Feel the silence penetrate
Deep inside of me
In my sanctuary
All my fears, are vanquished

Something inside of
Fight me
Just won't let me go
Tearing me, biting me, spiting me
Don't let it show
Can you make it go
Can you hear the voices, the choices
They crawl from below

Hear the silent symphony
Hear the silent symphony
Hear the winding sound
Hear the winding sound

Can you hear the madness, the sadness
Won't let me go
Can you hear the voices, the choices
The silent rage

Something inside of me
Some thing dividing me
Haunting me
Calling me
Clawing me

03. The Love Of Hate

Music by Graves/Moustafa
Lyrics by Devon Graves
Light is glowing
Faintly showing
Burning like candle to light our way

Wnd is blowing
Strong and growing
Trying to douse the flame
So darkness can prevail

Hate can only create more hate
Hate can only create more hate

Flags are waving
Madmen raving
Jesus saving no one
So save yourself

People dying
Screaming, crying
No denying freedom
Does not exist

Bombs exploding
Guns unloading
Stones we're throwing
Fall to the killing field

Hate can only create more hate
Hate can only create more hate
Hate can only create more hate
Hate can only create more hate

04. Why?

Music by Graves/Moustafa
Lyrics by Devon Graves
Blindfolds and cigarettes
Black hoods and camcorders televise homicide
Soldiers in shallow graves
Martyrs and thought police waiting to take you away

Why don't you let it lay
Won't you walk away
Let it end today
Why don't you let it go

Land of democracy
Land of hypocrisy
Forced down our throats, the indescents of pleasure
While violence and war deemed appropriate measures

Land of morality
Hand of brutality
Kill on command over corporate profit
Don't let them send you away

Why don't you let it lay
Won't you walk away
Let it end today
Why don't you let it go

And we have such a long way to go
But we've taken the wrong way to go
There's one thing i want you to know
There is something they don't want to show

Why don't you let it lay
Won't you walk away
Let it end today
Why don't you let it go

05. The Coldest Days Of Winter

Music by Graves
Lyrics by Devon Graves
In walking sleep and faded sight
In countless desperate steps
Trudging crossed a dead end world
Clawing to the depths
Competing on the treadmill
But grieving where they stand
An ordinary circumstance
An ordinary man

They gathered all possession found
They consummate their plans
Bleeding at their fingers
From digging with their hands
They all congratulate themselves
But nothing have they done
Their vessels lined up on the shelves
But empty every one

The point of no return
The closing of the door
The coldest days of Winter
The center of the storm

Before the dust has settled down
Before the spiral turns a twist
Before the numbers of your bank account
Are carved into your wrist
One by one we'll walk away
And watch the towers fall
Before the season old in Winter cold
Makes cretins of us all

The turning of the world
Brings coming of the dawn
And all these days of darkness
Will be forever gone

06. Wings Of Faith

Music by Graves
Lyrics by Devon Graves
We're flying on the wings of faith
We're flying on the wings of faith
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

We're gliding on the winds of change
We're gliding on the winds of change
We're flying on a daydream
The world is not what it seems
Cause nothing ever stays the same

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
We're gliding on the winds of change

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I want to hear you call my name

07. Toy Rockets

Music by Graves
Lyrics by Devon Graves
Climbing
Climbing
A mountain so cragged and tall
Sure is a long way back down

Flying
Flying
On toy rockets pointed at mars
Sure is a long way back down

We could find a second sun
Or be burned on the way
And loose another few
Tomorrow's on its way

Driving
Driving
On a road headed nowhere at all
And it just keeps on going
Waiting
Waiting
For the cold wind of winter to calm
And it just keeps on blowing

We could drive another mile
We could wait one more day
And loose another few
Tomorrow's on it's way

Do you find it kind of stifling
Could be everything's not only what they're showing
Do you find it kind of trifling
Looks like everything is what they think they're owning (lies)
Do you find it kind of criminal
Do you think that it's the only thing they're planning for you

Once we were giving
Now we are taking
We left a more beautiful world than we're making
Once we were building
Now we are breaking
Time to clean up all the mess we've been making
Lay down your hand grenades
Throw down your rifles
Now is the time to make peace with your rivals and Love
Love
Love
Love
Love

We could fight another fight
But it's all in vain
And loose another few
Tomorrow can explain

We could drive another mile
We could wait one more day
And loose another few
Tomorrow's on it's way

08. Waiting For The Answer

Music by Graves
Lyrics by Devon Graves
Angels of desolation
Smile of cold blue cheer
Bullets are falling from your wings

Sons of the desecration
Phantoms of all my fear
Blood on the hands of modern kings

Waiting for the answer
Waiting for the answer
Spiders that haunt the cradle
Pick at the bones of my mind
Thrusting their venom to my spine
Caught in a world descending
Lost in the darkest of all times
And when the reign has ended light will brightly shine

Take it all away
Help me find a new day
Take it all away
Can't we find a better way

Death on the wing ascending
Saints of a wicked faith
Cast a spell on all the world

Take it all away
Help me find a new day
Take it all away
Can't we find a better way

Waiting for the answer
Waiting for the answer
Waiting for the answer
Waiting on forever

09. Just Like A Timepiece

Music by Graves/Lackey
Lyrics by Devon Graves
The ghosts of my own song have names themselves no one
Run through the flowers they say
The hands of the dream wind that blows from beneath them
Circle the hours away

They offer a ride in their submarine dragonfly
Brought me inside to a chair in her head
The blind jester pilot, he smiles and he says that she knows where to go
As he lies down instead

I couldn't help noticing pilot began to dream
Started me wondering time of the day
The carousel sea horses picturesque circus dress flowing behind them
Began their display

The pantomime symphony slowly pretends to me
Stopped for directions out of my dream
Then one broke his silence, and pointed to me and said
Just like a timepiece, keep circling, circling

Blue for the sky
The world only turns from far away
Only blue from this high

It feels like flying
It feels like dying

Far and away, the icy Sun is on the rise
On the run
They're choking on the smoking gun
The swans have died
Tomorrow's finally come
Fly ...

The harlequin juggler in porcelain masquerade
Bicycle playing card joker in green
The jack rabbit rocking horse pendulate back and forth
Tick-tocking aperture carnival stream

Then came time in which i began wondering
The distance behind us inside of this dream
The blind jester pilot, he woke and he said to me
Just like the world, we keep circling, circling on

Just like the time circles on ...

10. Lady Of Rain

Music by Graves
Lyrics by Devon Graves
When we walk away
Come the day that we're leaving here
We can stop and stay on the way
We can leave our fear

Lady of rain
Will we regain or decline
Lady of rain
Where is the sweet Summer wine
It falls from the vine

Where we're going to
Everything's waiting for you
What we're going through
I believe must be untrue

Lady of rain
Will we attain the divine
Lady of rain
Where is the sweet Summer wine
It falls from the vine

If you only knew what to do
You'd have no fear
If you only knew what's inside of you
It'd all be so clear

Lady of rain
Will we remain on the line
Lady of rain
Will we attain the divine
Or fall from the vine
