Walk my dismal path
Pursue my much walked ways Two Hells I've found, Two deaths I'll die Mere fools choose to stay Shut out the sky In this darkened room As I prepare myself for slumber Where the weary are at rest Scraps of acrid marrow Dried and whitened spine Wasting of the limbs Abbreviated death Such a bitter satire I'm content to rest alone Leave me here and I will lie Composed and undisturbed Oh where can I find sorrow To relieve me of my grief I've shut my eyes to God above And walked my dismal way I've drunk the dregs of a wooden cup I've trampled on His blood I've smeared Him in my arrogance I grieve I can't turn back Walk my dismal path Pursue my much walked ways Two Hells I've found, Two deaths I'll die Mere fools here remain 02. Virgin Black - Mother Of Cripples
A restless shadow of a fiddler's elbow
Plays a tune to staggering feet The burden of his songs, the looking glass scorns At this disfigured, odious face Indeed alone, hugging my breast The sun I neglect, in darkness I roam Offerings of flowers on a barren grave Where my body will lie, uncared and unwept Idle bait, my shawl on the lattice Someone may see it, perhaps look my way No thread of sympathy unites me to man I lay softly down once again Within my aged walls taunts and vexations Fragments of a tune play most mournfully With sadness in my voice I break the solemn stillness My drooping head falls on languid hands Ancient of days, creator of life From the womb you have formed me, my vile sight you love Covered by your shadow, held within your hand Made within your likeness, precious am I? The glare of a sinking flame binds me to my clay... Offerings of flowers I rest in the earth My body will lie uncared and unwept 03. Virgin Black - Anthem
You shared flesh with me
Danced with me in the ancient circle Of birth, life and death But you live again... While autumn leaves fall In the summer of my life It is the millstone Around the neck of us all But you wore it like a crown Weaving to the shrill That makes cowards of us all But to you it was harmony... You knew shame like no other You tasted death like no other You shed tears like no other man You shared flesh with me, danced with me... This incarnation repelled me But threw me to my knees Could I be anything But a moth to the flame Your cross compels me You are the breath that gives me life You are mystery, you are beauty You are the risen Christ 04. Embodiment - If God Exists
Name it the sin your choice!
Fall to tempt Veins vice addiction of needle life Earth terrorists sap the land desert like Blames God for it's mistakes For shortfalls! Shortfalls! One on a million, one in a million So self divine You blame God for your mistakes Plankeye, you blame God But it was freedom of choice To the fame seeking scientists, inhumane! To find prestige under the spotlight and a place in history The resonant dollar sign (In your eyes) Labeled as greed Steals from the starving child sick! One in a million, one in a million So self divine You blame God for your mistakes Plankeye, you blame God But it was freedom of choice! Choice. One in a million, one in a million 05. Embodiment - Meantime Saviours
It was your god?
Liquor your saviour That's what you thought You'd think it died and rose for you The way you consume Too blind to know, know! To blind to see, see! I hope you realise The meantime saviours never last! Drink, drink all that you can Blind, blind you're so blind I hope you realize The meantime saviours never last! With your lids hung over your eyes As you follow blindly, blindly Your saviour dependant on your needs Your binges brings it's wealth You praise it like a God! Liquor your saviour Too blind to know, know! To blind to see, see! I hope you realise The meantime saviours never last! Drink, drink all that you can Blind, blind you're so blind I hope you realize The meantime saviours never last! 06. Teramaze - Generation X
The world gets run by political thugs who think they know it all
The stuff around with nuclear too powerful for us all They fill the air with chemicals to keep our families fed We were born innocent but we were born GENERATION "X" What's the future hold for the people of tommorow? Do we keep dreaming thinking that its going to be OK? What's the future bringing, is it just more sorrow? We've got to to do something before it's to late.. Our house gets run by T.V., hope our brains don't rot, They fill our shops with cigarettes, And hope the we don't choke They live thier lives their time is up They don't care what they do We were born innocent but we were born generation "X" 07. Teramaze - Ever Enhancing
Fatal memories the come and they go
A life of left downs, they feed my foe You came, you saw, you stopped me from falling You came, you saw, you reached out your hands My sorrow, my blunder are cast into the sea A whole new distinction ascribed in me You came, you saw, you sheltered me through the attack You came, you saw, you reached out your hands 08. Teramaze - Emancipator
All alone, you sit and wonder why we are here, why we die
You can't stop the infusion, the static confusion Of what we are supposed to be The war within your soul Is far beyond our control It's in Him you've got to believe Can't you see It's far beyond you and me Will you believe That he will set you free When I look back to, the moment God touched you was when you were slipping away Its shows me that the love of his hand Is so much stronger then the love of today 12. Rageflower - Prepaid
Bloodied cross, empty tomb
But that was yesterday All around me is pain Urging me to forget In weakness I cry I will hold on I believe in yesterday I believe in yesterday I believe 13. Rageflower - Do Not Destroy
Bring her to me
She shall be mine No-one will know My act of betrayal Give me more! I cannot see I cannot breathe I cannot leave I never knew Leave me alone! I'll take what I want It's not my fault If things go wrong No-one was supposed to find out! No! Get away from me You are not mine No-one was supposed to know That I had betrayed I cannot see God open up these eyes of mine I cannot breathe The stench is overpowering me I cannot leave Trapped within bars I've made for me Do not destroy Though I have nothing to offer thee I have rendered myself fatherless I'm in desperate need of mercy |
