Uniform printout reads end of line
Protect code intact leaves little time Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed My hands shake, my push buttons silence The outside crowd One world government has outlawed war among nations Now social control requires population termination Have we come too far To turn around Does emotion hold the key Is logic just a synonym for This savagery, disguised in Forgotten lost memory Microchip logic have we no more thought "Is this wrong" I enter Answers sought Punch, punch, punch, transfer this data Into code. Wide eyes watch my Number 156 is shown Created from past life to perform Illicit function, I fail this conscious Madness I man/machine imperfection Have we come too far To turn around Does emotion hold the key Is logic just a synonym for This savagery, disguised in Forgotten lost memory End of line |

Born into darkness in Saturn's sight
Riding the night like the wind Ripping the heart form a world that is right Treading the borders of sin. Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing To the ends of the earth you will fly Conquering masses in wanton deception Blood-red your black flag waves high Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen The pain, the misery in us all What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too And together build another way, to the morning Or will it ever come again You've poisoned all our hopes We have nothing now, and what of the children What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain That they must feel The last hero standing no time to turn back He's listening, he waits for your call The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same For one only waiting to fall Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Music by: Michael Wilton Lyrics by: Geoff Tate |

On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free |

We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by To late to save a dream that's growing cold We realize that fate must hide its face From those who try To see the distant signs of unforetold Oh... oh, take hold From a haze came a rage of thunder Distant signs of darkness on the way Fading cries scream of pain and hunger But in the night the light will guide your way So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain Ride, to a place beyond our time Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there See, that the light will find its way Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you With the air of freedom the flame grows bright We are the strong, the youth united We are one, we are children of the light So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain |

In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away Searing beams of light and thunder Over blackened plains She will find her way Flying high through the night She will hide your fate As she takes your soul from under And the blinding light of the castle fades There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich The Queen of the Reich Yeah she's coming for you You're fading away Your life cast astray A victim the beast shall obtain The light will not shine For you'll die tonight at her shrine And black is the last thing you'll see Over and over Dreams of dying fill your head It's the sign of the cross That you'll find ahead No one will answer The light is fading away Captive souls are screaming out in pain There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich You're fading away, No, No, No The Queen of the Reich You're slipping away, yeah The Queen of the Reich |

It was November 4th
I last held your hand It seemed our time would last forever You said don't ever leave I thought you'd never go I wish I could just remember your name... You're just a memory now Like all the ones before But with your pain I've had to suffer Your eyes alight with flame As the picture burns I hear the screams from long ago They cry remember, blood-red streaks on velvet throats at night The streetlights fanned our trail of fame London London through The memories will never leave me London London All I see is you London London The cries in the night Keep bringing me to London London Calling out to me - 간 주 중 - Oh there's some things in life I could never face The worst is being alone Sometimes I wish I could have taken your place my love You know I don't want to live forever Oh let me see you standing in the shadows once again We'll walk the streets like long ago in London London The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to London London All I need is you The cries in the night keep ringing on in London London London London Calling out to me London London The memories will never leave me London London All I see is you London London The cries in the night Keep bringing me to London London Calling out to you |

I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh We are one you and I We are versions of the same When you can see what I feel Don't turn your back on me Or you might find that your dreams Are only program cards Your mind is open for me Open for intake of all propaganda Your Eyes see now what to see My eyes see only the programs you give me I'll teach you to laugh and to cry They're really the same you'll see All of the why's in your life Are under my control Feed me more lines I will try to tell you all I can Before the light you must know what lies Behind my screams I can't tell you all I know Am I the son that you've always been wanting There's more to me than what shows Are you my father The one that was promised Hush now, I'll give all you need to know and pre-live your dreams for you You're a good boy Freedom belongs only to those Without video screens For eyes and mouth You have no voice To be heard my son No one can hear when you'reScreaming in Digital I'm not your slave You can't control my emotions No Father, please let me keep learning Can't you see I'm human Can't you tell I'm not your slave Oh Father no Please don't keep me from dreaming Oh can't someone hear |

She always brings me what i need
Without i beg and sweat and bleed When we're alone at night Waiting for the call She feeds my skin Sixteen and on the run from home Found a job in times square Working live s&m shows Twenty-five bucks [a fuck] And john's a happy man She wipes the filth away And it's back on the streets again Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Father william saved her from the streets She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet She's sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice He takes her once a week On the alter like a sacrifice Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Religion and sex are powerplays Manipulate the people for the money they pay Selling skin, selling god The numbers look the same on their credit cards Politicians say no to drugs While we pay for wars in south america [saudi arabia, on tour] Fighting fire with empty words While the banks get fat And the poor stay poor And the rich get rich And the cops get paid To look away As the one percent rules america Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see The way society Keeps spreading the disease |

Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window I wear a face born in the falling rain I talk to shadows from a lonely candle Recite the phrases from the wall I can't explain this holy pain Six days ago my life had taken a tumble The orders came from high above they say A need to use me once again, they've got my number Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game I'll wait here for days longer 'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow She brings the only friend that helps me find my way I search the past back to a time when I was younger A target for the new society Picked to displace the leaders Countering objectives of this new underground reality Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow My love for her will help me find my way (They'll say) My mission saved the world I stood proud My mission changed the world It turned my life around I look around, my room is filled with candles Each one a story but they end the same I'll hide away in here the law will never find me The walls will tell the story of my pain Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady who can ease my sorrow She sets the pace for my delivery of pain (They'll say) My mission saved the world And I stood proud My mission changed the world The underground (They'll say) Will rise and save this world We'll all stand proud Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world We'll all stand proud |

dr. x: "kill her. that's all you have to do."
Nikki: "kill mary?" Dr. x: "she's a risk, and get the priest as well." 10 p.m., i feel the rain coming down My face feels the wet, my mind the storm Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine Midnite, she sings praises in the hall To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall Sister mary, virgin mary, silent with her sin [ mary: "what are you doing out in the rain?" ] She feels me, i can taste her breath when she speaks [ mary: "i've been waiting for you. come in." ] Mary, mary just a whore for the underground They made you pay in guilt for your salvation Thought you had them fooled? now they've sent me for you You know too much for your own good Don't offer me faith, i've got all i need here My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam What we need is trust, to keep us both alive Help us make it through the night I've no more want of any faith Binds my arm and feed my mind The only peace i've ever known I'll close my eyes and you shoot No mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my lips I pray i feed you well Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long For what you gave to everyone The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed From my barrel of death, he turned the holy water red As he died he said thank you I just watched him bleed I feel the flow, the blessed stain Sweating hands like fire, and flames Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight Mary, sweet lady of pain Always alone Blind you search for the truth I see myself in you, parallel lives Winding at light-speed through time No time to rest yet We've got to stop his game Before madness has the final laugh Too much bloodshed We're being used and fed Like rats in experiments No final outcome here Only pain and fear It's followed us both all our lives There's one thing left to see Will it be him or me? There's one more candle left to light Don't turn your back on my disgrace The blood of christ can't heal my wounds...so deep The sins of man are all i taste Can't spit the memory from my mind I can't cry anymore Mary, my lady of pain, always alone Blind you search for the truth I see myself in you, parallel lives Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine |

I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye Searching high and low The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime Handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it She said she loved me I guess i never knew But do we ever, ever really know? She said she'd meet me on the other side But i knew right then, i'd never find her I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No more nightmares, i've seen them all From the day i was born, they've haunted my every move Every open hand's there to push and shove No time for love it doesn't matter She made a difference I guess she had a way Of making every night seem bright as day Now i walk in shadows, never see the light She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in lovev i need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No chance for contact There's no raison d'etre My only hope is one day i'll forget The pain of knowing what can never be With or without love it's all the same to me I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in love I need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel |

Beating with life you promised life,
Security, happiness. Unfortunate son cornered, Cowering in the pit of Circling panes of glass that Surround and reveal the ever present "it". "it" is my move, my every look, Interpreting gestures, Informing other What's undercover and Lurking beneath my mask Of this year's featured model. Is this too much? Close your eyes. Care to look inside? i am i! What may appear Might easily be explained, But given the situation Of info saturation, What you feel can never go away. Steering perception? i am! Inviting contradiction? i am! It's my insistence You keep your distance From the glare behind my stare. So this is the way The game is played. You can leave now... But i think you'll stay. i am i! |

Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize it and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help you see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity -spoken during solo- [Visualize your dream] [Record it in the present tense] [Put it into a permanent form] [If you persist in your efforts] [You can achieve dream control] [Dream control] [How's that then, better?] [Hug me] If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but... I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help to see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you.... |

Every time I leave
You say you won't be there. And you're always there. Every time I cry your name at night, you pull close and say it's alright. I look in your eyes, just like the rain. Washing me, rain wash over me. Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream. What you do to me! Waited so long I can't wait another day without you. Jet City Woman. It's a long way, home to my Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind. Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking, there's a part missing from my life. Wonder where I'd be without your love holding me together now I'm watching the time tick, tick away. Face grows longer every day. Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen but without you I can't breathe! You're the air to me! Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you. Jet City Woman. Got to find my way home to her. Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere I look! Jet City Woman. Just a thousand miles and I'll be there Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away. Time for some blue sky! Waited so long now the plane's delayed and hour, reminds me of all our days apart. Hold on, just a little longer. Jet City Woman. Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me. Jet City Woman. Eyes like the rain, rain down on me. Jet City Woman. No more nights alone I'm almost home now. Jet City Woman. Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City. |

I ain't no Romeo. I'm just the man for you.
Holding out as secrets travel, they kind of get to you. Everybody says that it could've been something. Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing. Always hearing voices swim ... in your liquid sky. Liquid Sky ... Always hearing voices, like no more choices in disguise. I ain't no sacred idol or a saint pretending. I'll build you up. I'll tear you down. Turn you wrong side in. What am I afraid of? Everyone's listening. Standing on my soapbox, lost the beginning. Always hearing voices ... swim ... in your liquid sky. Liquid Sky ... I'm always hearing voices, like no more choices, like a lie. It's just, it's just liquid sky. I'm always hearing voices like electric shock waves in disguise. I don't know what this means. I'll leave it for your interpretation. It's just me at the edge ... Everybody says that it could have been something. Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing. Always hearing voices ... swim in your liquid sky. Liquid Sky ... I'm always hearing voices, like no more choices, like a lie. It's just, it's just liquid sky. I'm always hearing voices like electric shock waves in disguise. Always hearing voices swim ... |

Iced over, close your eyes. Whisper the flame, it takes us
higher. Seems our world is closing around. When I'm inside you, you bring me to sacred ground. When I'm inside you, you bring me to sacred ground. Now you're the one that I want, you know it's true. Let go of everything, open up to me. I'm right beside you, I'll be your watchful eye. I send waves of devotion over you. You take it all in and give it back, give it back again. You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you. You bring me to sacred ground. Yes we'll love till there's nothing left to give... matching every movement, swimming in an ocean of sweat, and scent of you. It drives me to ... You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you. You bring me to sacred ground. I know I can change your mind. Give it to me the same way. Giving it all up for love, I know that you feel the same way. I'd give it all up for you, I swear I would. Now I'm falling, falling inside ... You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you. You bring me to sacred ground. I'm inside you. You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you. You bring me to sacred ground. |

Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it's like on the other side. Because I'm here on the inside of blue, without you. Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you. Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks like hell. I think I need to see a doctor. I watch the slow hand move line by line. I can't even think of the words that rhyme. Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you. Some days it feels, just like falling down. Some days it's easy, just like falling down. Some days it's real, just like falling down. Some days it's easy, just like falling down. Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you. |

Hit the Black
Hanging by a thread, problems in my head, don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run. Corporation greed, television need, overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar. There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track. They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back. I'm going down... to a place where I can see all there is to see in me. Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun, think I'll take a ride to the other side, till I'm done. Hole is in the vein, feel it numb the brain, take away the pain, never be the same till I die. There's no brakes on me, as I come around the track. There's no gauge to read, peg the needle as I hit the black. I'm going down... to a place where I can see all there is to see in me. Population freeze, modern day disease, brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure. Profit in the wind, pushing back the time that we wait in line, pushing back the time, it's a sin. There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track. They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back. I'm going down.... |

When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense,
and when words can't hide their anger or intent. I feel it in my bones and in my head, can't make sense of what is said. Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown. Fear has me backed against these walls that I follow and pace. Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face. I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake, can't find a trace of what it takes to stop this take down. Can't stop this breakdown! Welcome to my scene. A place that's in-between where squares fit the round. Some affectionately call it ... my breakdown.... When I feel the pressure mounting and my hands begin to clutch, I reach my limit of pain and I've had enough. It feels good to pound on tables and chairs and feel the frenzy start to wear. Breakdown this take down, gotta stop this breakdown. Welcome to my scene. A place that's in-between where squares fit the round. It'll never be, never be more than this. Never. |

Hey, are you okay? Better luck on another day. This path
some weren't meant to follow. You're curious I can see, always looking behind the trees. Keeping one eye on tomorrow. Re-engineer your head, is really what the door mouse said. Push the lies away. If you take time and look for clues ...scrape the shit off your shoes, you'll feel the real today. I'd love to take you to see what I see there, on the right side of my mind. On the right side, on the right side ... of my mind. Hey, one more thing, these things are hard to explain. For some, it seems strange to swallow. The frontier of our minds is the last place we find, but maybe the first place we should go. I'd love to take you to see what I see there... on the right side of my mind. |
