02. Abduction
I wake in sweat
You've come to steal my life away Some strange electric glow Of artificial day The power breakers closed The grid of darkness falls Shining gleaming black as night Burning all the light Whattya want from me I sense your mastery There's something you won't ever find So have your way with me This prisoner is never free Rip me up leave me behind Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins Evil (laser?) gadgets come to penetrate my skin The hanging judge is open? And I'm damned before his eyes Another gender system failed And many more have tried And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago Highways hidden in the sand Reveal the troops I know They took my worthless heart And spat it through their eyes Abduction means the end for me A million years of misery So have your way with me This soldier's lost victory Rip me up... 03. Soul Intruders
We ride the cosmic streams of time
We are the fools you came to trust We blind the eyes of history We tear ourselves down from your cross Half-lives, we live again Half-lives, now we are one We're the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night We're the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light We're the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne? Solar winds have taken hold Blowing us where we do not know Existence silent and unknown Father son and viral host Half-lives, eat but never kill Half-lives, we live as well We're the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night We're the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light We're the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne? Half-lives, eat but never kill Hope flies, we live as well We're the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night We're the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light We're the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne? 04. Kill Devil Hill
Blood brothers of angels, now hear us
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us God willing, we'll raise up, be near you So open your arms now and take us So we're believing our dreams, like the Icarus of old The plans we made for the bold In the blue-eyed beyond, there is nowhere to hide, There's no going back now As the wind whips over the hillside Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill Steady wind blows over the sand Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill As the breeze whips straight as an arrow Let her go over Kill Devil Hill Gasoline and the wind in the wires Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars. We stand on this seashore and wonder What madness, what secrets we plunder All failure, we learn from, discovery The wreckage of heaven lies in the sand First chances abandoned With wood string and wire we can barely control our desire For Destinies arrows.... As the wind whips over the hillside Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill Steady wind blows over the sand Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill As the breeze whips straight as an arrow, Let her go over Kill Devil Hill Gasoline and the wind in the wires Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars 05. Navigate The Seas Of The Sun
Distant earthrise long ago
Lingers at the borders of our minds Mysteries spinning in the dark In the frozen emptiness of time We were lost and we never knew Who we were or what we left behind Living half-lives we were blind To the new frontiers that opened up our eyes To find our minds were spinning Souls entwined in a spiral dance The ancient ways have found us Again to give us one last chance Living in this place Staring into space we find We might share the corners of our lives Infinity runs deep Eternity that we can't keep Melting through the frozen wastes of time So we go and will not return To navigate the seas of the sun Our children will go on and on To navigate the seas of the sun So we go and will not return To navigate the seas of the sun Our children will go on and on To navigate the seas of the sun We can't go on tomorrow Living death by gravity Couldn't stand it anymore We'll sail our ships to distant shores Purple gold and blue Living colors every hue Flowers in the garden of the gods No one can ever know If you never saw them grow This darkness is really full of light Well beyond the earth, Beyond all things that gave us birth We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun If God is throwing dice, And Einstein doesn't mind the chance We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we find To Navigate the Seas of the Sun So we know who we are, even in this frozen waste We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun Living in this place, staring into space we find We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun Well beyond the earth, Beyond all things that gave us birth We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun If Einstein's throwing dice, and God doesn't mind the chance We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we find We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun And who we were before - Eternity that we can't keep We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun 06. River Of No Return
Break the bread and drink the wine
Seize the chalice suck the poison vine There is frost in every sunbeam? water flows from the earth to sky Looking down on every rose nothing moves the wheal of heaven turns As our fingers leave there trace, we are gods in a world we dared embrace Now we're lost, you can't disguise, the River of No Return Now it's gone, you realize, the River of No Return Growing embers of our ancient lives We struggle hard we live to turn the tide Living longer in the astral waste We stare each other, we look death in the face All my life in front of you, lonely secrets hidden from your view. Now we orbit a different sun, for eternity, doomed to tell no one.. Now we're lost, you can't disguise, the River of No Return Now it's gone, you realize, the River of No Return Now I'm truly all alone, Canyon walls and the river of no return I'm amazed at what I am, I've never knew the feelings I ignored Now we're lost, you can't disguise, the River of No Return Now it's done, you realize, the River of No Return And the anguish drives me on, I wish I could return All the love that washed away Down the River of No Return 07. Power Of The Sun
Is this a citadel
Is this a prison cell? Who sits at my right hand now, Who's watching me now? Who made us live this way? When do I get my say Automation turns us into Human beings now Tripping over faces Humanity has fallen Huddled into doorways And the streets at dawn The power of the sun Keeps us moving on Spinning ever faster The city never sleeps The echoes of the footfalls Already in the past Every dawn arrives The gathering of the tribes Shattered waves of people Breaking over city walls Never out of touch But always on your own Trapped inside the logic Of your own communication zone What deals have been done Who's under the gun Stay one step ahead Of the next in line The cameras never lie The ghost of you and I Already in the past Inside a picture frame We'll vanish once again Now the dawn is coming fast 08. Devil On A Hog
You wanna know where legends live
At the rainbows end I'll be there There's a place in Innerspace, That's where I get to you I'm not the shy, retiring kind Like a supernova for the blind I used to sit at God's right ha,d but I quit that show to do my one night stands... Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider You won't see my face no more My machine has left the floor. Leave my rivals in the dirt I've seen your world and I got the shirt... Before I leave and go my way I've loved it but I couldn't stay There's nothing left for you to feel Just remember me You might see me in Tokyo To the rings of Saturn, hey let's go... And you can trip all the lights with me But your one time chance is never free... I see you baby once again Maybe three score years and ten I'll be driving a different ship That's when I'll take you down For your final trip Coming outta nowhere I'm a godhead rider.... You won't see my face no more My machine has left the floor Leave my rivals in the dirt I've seen your world and I got the shirt... Before I leave and go my way I loved it but I couldn't stay There's nothing left for you to feel Just remember me.... Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider... Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider... You won't see my face no more My machine has left the floor Leave my rivals in the dirt I've seen your world and I got the shirt... Before I leave and go my way I loved it but I couldn't stay There's nothing left for you to feel Just remember me 09. Believil
Smoking resting on its grave
The carcass burting where it lies No more truth No honest games The serpent writhes within us all Lava streams of molten flesh Into their mountain holes retire Now sleeping eyes of death awake Your drug of choice Truth or lie I believe You and me I believe Evil I believe You will see I believe Evil What does not kill it Makes it strong The carcass stares it will not die It feeds on you It feeds on me I know his name You know mine too 10. A Tyranny Of Souls
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the hurlyburly's done? When the battle's lost, not won? A tyranny of souls That love has lost A tyranny of souls A pentecost Speaking tongues of fire Enflaming our desires Watching as we die Who rips the child out from the womb? Who raised the dagger, who plays the tune? At the crack of doom on judgment day No ocean could wash my sins away A tyranny of souls That love has lost A tyranny of souls A pentecost Speaking tongues of fire Enflaming our desires Watching as we die On our own cross A tyranny of souls We are the black space We are the black light We shine where no others dare Killin' my head with the neon Suffering my fate for no reason No is a relative stranger to my life Deeds of the Faithful Seeds of betrayal Hammer the nail into my hand Anger is ruler in my land I am the killer of weakness in my head We are the black light We are the black space A tyranny of souls That love has lost A tyranny of souls A pentecost Speaking tongues of fire Enflaming our desires Watching as we die On our own cross A tyranny of souls A tyranny of souls That love has lost A tyranny of souls A pentecost Speaking tongues of fire Enflaming our desires Watching as we die |
