Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World lyrics



Tracks



01. Narcosynthesis

Hypnotize me,mesmerize me
drain the color from my eyes
patronize me,energize me
change the world,internalize

How did it come to this,
narcosynthesis

Alienate me,learn to hate me
crucify your ideals the flesh is the swine
we are the last ones and we're bleeding
for an unseen god

Turn my blood to sand
lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
what are you searching for?
Turn my dirt to gold
time the healer the great concealer
please salvage my soul

Victimize me,vilify me
vilipend and amend the sins you condign
you are nothing and you speak for
all that never was

02. We Disintegrate

within the dark communion of self awareness
there lies a void called ego
an endless fusion of stillness and chaos
to bring its death can bring rebirth
I want to freeze the time
(dissolve into gray)
as we disintegrate the light
let the rain come down,
let the solitude surround
I want to change the lines
and purify the divide
are we ever free or slaves to technology
Outside the fallen walls of pride and prejudice
there is a voice that speaks in circles
empty illusions still fall before us
there is no future so profess your pain

03. Inside Four Walls

Inside four walls I live my life,doesn't matter what I've done
The governement's always right
They tell us what to be they tell us what to believe
They're wrong my friend is gone

Inside four walls,
Inside four walls
The day they took away my friend

Injustice made it's mark
All the political whores only come out after dark
If anyone knows the way
Build me a bridge so I won't fall astray

Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies

The system falls apart
The pigs still laugh feeding off our broken lives
Can anyone tell me why
Some violent criminals do far less time?

Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies

Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom

But they'll never take your mind

04. Evolution 169

Welcome to the pleasure dome ,now take a seat the crowd is watching you
Just rats in this experiment
Now learn the maze but don't tear yourself in two
Don't let it pull you down

And one by one we crawl,and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169

You can touch but never taste the answers
Like the way that I want you
Today I killed my ego,if hell is real
Dear god please tie mynoose
And then he pulled me down

And one by one we crawl,and two by two
Into the mouth of madness we seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
And one by one we crawl,and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we fly away

Don't set your mind to one side
Don't set your mind to one side

05. The River Dragon (Has Come)

Today the warning came in the flood
Architects and fools never cared for poor men's blood
Cursed to repeat the past they are
The river dragon swims upstream
They've built another wall

The three will fall
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown

The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves

Those who cannot remember the last
Fall away,far away
The distance meets its task

The three will fall
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown

The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
The river dragon has come
At first light of dawn
The earth has spoken
And in the crush they are gone

The three will fall
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
In the mass destruction the bringer shows his form
Technology the beast
The seventh crown

06. The Heart Collector

To see the actor without tears
Dark rivers carve the years between the lines of self control
In my psychotic karmic fear,I own your tears anyway
And I am you and we are not afraid

And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song that's slowly boiling over

Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
Just believe when you can't believe anymore

The stage is empty now
I hope we hold and cannot allow
the corrupt eclectic takes his fatal bow

And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song again

Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
Just believe when you can't believe anymore

07. Engines Of Hate

Can I be your personal demon
Sit back absorb the words
And feast on my mind's semen
Can I be the devil on your shoulder
We all fall down as the world gets colder

I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate

Can I be your chemical pariah
The world's such an ugly place
It seems useless sometimes trying
Will you watch the hate machine spin evil
Or will you look away and plead apathy again

I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate

We sing into the sky on the production line
We are the holy swine, impurity defined
You can't ignore us anymore
You cannot judge us anymore

The sheep are made to follow
Choke back the puke and swallow
The sheep are told to divide
The engines of hate still grind

I uncreate,I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate

08. The Sound Of Silence

Lyrics by P. Simon (1964)
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

.And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,

And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."

09. Insignificant

Ours is not to question the reasons why
Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied
Insignificant, am I ?
The color of sundown,of crimson sky
The beauty that breaks down
And gives the day unto the night

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never knows the reason why

scan my horizon as blue turns to black
the sky is gone again
and all beneath are born to die
insignificant,am I ?

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never knows the reason why

10. Believe In Nothing

into a strange new world,into the after
all your tears might find you've fallen too far
take another look,take another ride
can't we make them leave the hate behind

and I still believe in nothing
will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?

Into the empty storm,into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game

And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow

Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still

Nothing

11. Dead Heart In A Dead World

To see the last survivor fall
To see their bastards sons against the wall
To see the emptiness as we decay
I see the world is dead,I am betrayed

Dead heart in a dead world
Dead heart in a dead world

This rotten hole that I call home bled dry again
This lesion marked upon my soul
Left an empty hanging man

Across the fields,into the sea
To find the light from within
Out of this lake I've tried to crawl
I think I'm there and then again I fall
Again I fall

Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world

We must remember wounds so deep
take time to heal
and sometimes though we struggle still
life seems surreal

Emotions turned to cold dead wood
Can still have life once more
The door that slammed upon your heart
Torn away,torn away

Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
Burn your gods and kill the king
Subjugate your suffering
Dead heart,in a dead world
Dead heart,in a dead world
