Mordred - Fool's Game lyrics



Tracks



01. State Of Mind

Can you see the substance of who you really are?
Dig deep into your psyche, do you find the scar?
Unlock subliminal secrets, touch me with your past
Then try to understand the way that you've been cast

I have tried many times
To reveal my inner State of Mind
(Must be blind)

Your mind reveals itself, although it's hard to do
Don't fear the fury and passion that burns inside of you
Stare deep into my eyes, your body becomes relaxed
Strip layers from subconscious, discover past life facts

Can you see the substance of who you really are?
Dig deep into your psyche, do you find the scar?
I know it's just a theory with elements of doubt
Don't take it all too serious, that's not what we're about

02. Spectacle Of Fear

Brought-to shores across the sea
He dreamt it was his fate
Fought-to set an order pure
Facist world of hate
Pray-for outcasts sent to die
They have no hearts to fight
Pay-the dues you owe yourself
To free them on this night

A gasious rain falls down to stop the ones
Who speak the truth but lack the voice of guns
And they die

Try-to stop the man in charge
He fills our mind in fear
Cry-for those who've already died
Their killers won't shed a tear
Night-has fallen premature
Darkness shades the land
Fight-for one last chance to live
And crush the killer's hand

03. Every Day's A Holiday

I like to sleep all day
Go to work? Ha, no way!
I see you sweat so hard
to pay your credit cards
I know you bust your ass
To buy a new bus pass
So you can go to work
Like every other jerk

Everyday's a holiday
Do you know what I mean
Everyday's a holiday
Don't you wish you were just like me

I see you pay your dues
This is the life you choose
But nothing's guaranteed
Life's just a game to me
I know you bust your ass
On things I'd rather pass
To buy the things you need
For stuff I get for free

Everyday's a holiday
Why work up a sweat
Everyday's a holiday
Don't you wish you were just like me

04. Spellbound

There's a method to madness
It measures in by the light
There's an evil among us
And it's blinding our sight

Propaganda, deception
Their subliminal lies
Infiltrate the airwaves
The light in your eyes

Spellbound by the light
You don't have the right
To ever ask why
They're ruling your mind

Mass mental disorder
A generation ago
They're lost in confusion
Let you question the people
Who are plotting these schemes
When they silence your questions
When they shatter your dreams

Heed they
D-Day never mentioned
Victims - programmed with precision
Punished - by the television

05. Sever And Splice

Twisted dreams of tortured screams victims chained to die
A darkened cell of living hell with none to hear the cry
Perverted minds the most maligned plot your night of doom
The sullen earth of death or birth becomes your vile tomb

Sever and Splice
Hatchet and knife
Torture and lust
Taking your life

Axe to head a mortal's dead as screams tear through the night
The searing pain of severed veins to bone the blade shall bite
Lust and hate desecrate fulfill your ghastly needs
Rape and maul your bones to haul disguise your evil deeds

Get away flee today bodies have been found
Rotting flesh horrid death bones beneath the ground
Deathly reek lawmen seek corpses of deceased
Twist and turn writhe and burn none will be released

One dies by suicide-Took life by cyanide
One fled to foreign land-free now to kill again
Lurk stalk with evil eye-Hack slash to take your life
Bent mind-A deadly rape
Run hide-He has escaped

06. The Artist

Self employed self made scam
Like a child who forgot how to learn
Just conserving time
In this homemade prison he'll burn

Tongue like a rusty razor tricky and sharp
With eyes that seem so pure
Walk like a dusty soldier proud and sure
With a medal of his buddy's heart

There's the pitch looks like a curve
He who dies with the most toys wins
Faceless, nameless they're all the same
He'll take your money with a toothy grin

Tongue like a rusty razor tricky and sharp
With eyes that seem so pure
Walk like a dusty soldier proud and sure
With a medal of his buddy's heart

Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
He bites the hand that feeds
Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
Bite!

Floating in franklins like a pig in shit
He's got money to burn yours not mine
Material madness bashes him down
And sends the fucker to the end of the line

Tongue like a rusty razor tricky and sharp
With eyes that seem so pure
Walk like a dusty soldier proud and sure
With a medal of his buddys heart

Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
He bites the hand that feeds
Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
Bite!

07. Shatter

Just like a flame memory starts to burn
Out of the past, voices re-emerge
They bring to mind days when you were young
Bid life farewell when all is said and done

Shatter - Mirror cracks, you see the light
Shudder - As death stares you in the eyes
Cry out - As your life comes to an end
Darkness - A loaded gun your only friend

The blade of time cuts away the years
Songs of lament are ringing in your ears
In from outside (?? - MG) images of death
Bid life farewell and catch your final breath

08. Reckless Abandon

Recklessly they waged their wars
Open wounds behind closed doors
Shed your fears the morbid cheers
Apocalypse draws ever near
Laugh with sinners cry with saints
The life we lead has no restraints
No holds barred our bodies scarred
These creeps were made for marching hard

Reckless abandon living for today
The streets our schools defiance rules
Until the judgement day
Reckless abandon technicolor grey
One way to live one life to give
No morals to betray

Trapped by fear and locked away
To never see the light of day
Paranoid and self-destroyed
The mind's eye scans the endless void
Let the death bell toll
The clock may stop the hand may fall
Untold lies of paradise
A wasted day a wasted life

Reckless abandon living for today
The streets our schools defiance rules
Until the judgement day
Reckless abandon technicolor grey
One way to live one life to give
No morals to betray

Take the time to redefine
Read the truth between the lines
Feed the frame of discontent
Time on earth is nearly spent
These four walls are closing in
The war that you can never win
Nothing ventured nothing gained
This hell on earth will never change

10. Numb

See now how I am
Care for no-one
Don't give a damn

Dive in
To my mind
Search for some emotion you can't find

Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost

Won't you take my hand?
Remember what you said
What we planned

Can't you
Forget my name?
Some things change, you'll stay the same

Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
And I've changed

Dive into my mind
Search for some emotion you can't find

Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
