It's everything we do while we're here
A fear or a thought, a feeling or a dream Touch it and taste it, breathe it all in Say what you feel, things aren't what they seem Why live, why breathe, Why breed, why die? These questions all tied up inside It's all or nothing or what you make it A prize or a secret, Which path do you take Decisions and gambles, a goal to be scored Risks and lies we all make mistakes Why live, why breathe, Why breed, why die? These questions all tied up inside Thoughts without pictures Looks without seeing Words without reason Touch without feeling Life is your reward Not to be ignored Why ask the questions when there's no answer? Why play the game when there's no way to win? Why ask the questions when there's no answers? Why seek the truth when the truth is within? 02. For Whose Advantage?
Corporate decisions made each day
Affecting everyone Commercial growth is all that counts Not harming anymore Invade in trust, ideals unjust Hide your reality Invisible truth, enslaving youth For useless vanity They do not want to see Their own stupidity Unskilled hands work unashamed Out of necessity Incompetence and sickening greed Void of mentality Abolish choice, deal to the voice Dismiss it as a lie You violate, claim to create Keep smiling when you die They do not want to see Their own stupidity For whose advantage anyway? This reckless nature you display Is raping those who have to obey Undignified Undisciplined Undeserved Unashamed Unexplained Undisturbed They do not want to see Their own stupidity For whose advantage anyway? This reckless nature you display Is raping those who have to obey. 03. The Human Condition
An age that's in decline
The blind lead the blind Live from day to day Nothing here yet you stay Painful memories you recall Nothing left for you at all Your life is your priority No hope for you alone Kept out of sight Unseen, disowned By society You know what will be will be No such thing as destiny To watch the world as time ticks by Many truths that you deny You cannot change the way you feel Some emotions you can't conceal No way to end your misery No hope for you alone Kept out of sight Unseen, disowned By society Salvage you identity You cannot life off charity This is a high price to pay For being led astray No feeling here but apathy Can't risk emotional injury No time for thought or sentiment No hope for you alone Kept out of sight Unseen, disowned By society No hope for you alone Kept out of sight Unseen, disowned By society. 04. False Ideals
Invented by the human mind
Not knowing what was real What sort of god lets people die? Yet still to him you kneel Only hypocrites and sinners Feel they have something to gain And the old, torn and afflicted Think that he can heal their pain What is wrong, why can't these people see? Ask yourself is it truth or blasphemy? You will find you cannot face adversity No more time, such insecurity Born again your conscience clear You give your life to him Renounce those who are faithless Contentment lies within Worship what you cannot see Small minds you can distort Force fed with false ideals Why believe what you are taught? What is wrong, why can't these people see? Ask yourself is it truth or blasphemy? You will find you cannot face adversity No more time, such insecurity So book in hand you stand and preach Telling us to repent Something about a promised land Or eternal torment Could this be your vocation Or another mistake Just deny provocation From this nightmare you'll awake What is wrong, why can't these people see? Ask yourself is it truth or blasphemy? You will find you cannot face adversity No more time, such insecurity. 05. The Bitter End
Entangled in a web or sordid lies
No hope until I walk with open eyes The way I feel I can't express We trust each other less and less Twisted thoughts and twisted deeds Ever changing different needs Never planned it quite like this No more pain I'm powerless Do we end it while we can Or should we make a differing plan? I cannot treat you like a friend Must we see it to the bitter end? Confused don't know which way to go Carry on, the hatred grows Never have any kind of peace Until I find my own release Do we end it while we can Or should we make a differing plan? I cannot treat you like a friend Must we see it to the bitter end? Maybe now you'll understand Or do you need a helping hand? Time will pass and we will see We were just not meant to be. 06. New Bedinnings
[Instrumental]
07. Desperate Remedies
Seek the perfect race your knowledge you provide
Is this a worthwhile cause or just genocide? Torment and despair alone and cast aside No sympathetic ears to hear their cries No justice in their world Competence is no excuse for ignorance Blameless yet their death has no significance Sorrow and emotion are a consequence Their eyes forever closed and you ask why No justice in their world Taking liberties with other people's lives Testing theories to their demise Could this be--desperate remedies Fundamental thoughts you try to satisfy The exception proves the rule and that you verify This work in time of peace you cannot justify The only words you ever speak are lives No justice in their world Taking liberties with other people's lives Testing theories to their demise Could this be--desperate remedies. 08. Kept In The Dark
Black days for humanity
Suffer the pain, the futility Select few with immunity Not the case for the majority Eyes that pierce the world restrained Healthy will to reveal contained Questions search for truth remains What is it you wanna see? What is it you wanna hear? Control is all that it can be Control is what we all should fear What is it to be? Is it life or authenticity? Black is truth or is it white? Kept in the dark, cannot see the light Words of power start to infect Must see through must disconnect Word of truth we all elect If truth is dead then resurrect Green is all that they can see Their only link with reality Who controls the monopoly? Exploitation done professionally What is it you wanna see? What is it you wanna hear? Control is all that it can be Control is what we all should fear What is it to be? Is it life or authenticity? Black is truth or is it white? Kept in the dark, cannot see the light. 09. Black Embrace
Chosen for this brutality
You see no sign you're unaware This is the start of the atrocity That will send you far beyond repair Trapped inside yourself A dark, lonely place Because of what you are Eternal black embrace You're void of all self-respect Your dignity has gone Don't know what you expect You feel like you're the only one Trapped inside yourself A dark, lonely place Because of what you are Eternal black embrace This black cloud hangs over you Plague you right until your dying day Always something that you can do Speak out, don't fade away Trapped inside yourself A dark, lonely place Because of what you are Eternal black embrace. 10. Running White Faced City Boy
Was running through an empty street
Turn the corner I could feel the heat I wore the look of a white face city boy Knew a knife was the only way For a kid living day to day Who cares for a white face city boy Raised in a hard town Nobody pushes me around I got trouble now I'm on the run Running white face city boy I was running through an empty night Just the sound of a lovers' fight And the feeling of the wind upon my face I was looking for a place to hide Scared and my eyes were wide No place for a white face city boy Live like a wild thing You can't tell me anything I got trouble now I'm on the run Running white face city boy. |
