Blood is thicker than water but nothing beats oil Take the torch to the oil and let the blood boil Take a look at the sorry state of this place, what is it coming to? But don't dare look down on me, I've got it in for you
Crawlspace, we've gotta stand up Crawlspace, the only thing we've got is just Crawlspace, we could use some help Crawlspace, help doesn't come cheap these days
Walk face down through the future warzone The Russian mob is bringing lead to the bone There's a racist vigilante, he's on his kicking crusade The Chinese will eat the world unless he gets a switchblade
Crawlspace, we've gotta stand up Crawlspace, the only thing we've got is just Crawlspace, we could use some help Crawlspace, help doesn't come cheap these days
The proud son of proud fathers, the feared and fearless me Soldier of armageddon, I was born to fly free Now they see a wasted resource, I'm banished and scorned Lonely here in my rusty shell, a restless mind, hellspawned
Warhead...
They've marched with banners and they've torn down the wall Onward to new tomorrow, it illuminates them all I was left alone to sulk in the rift they had to heal Forgotten threat still lives on in this body of steel
Warhead...
They say they'll make a deal, trying to pull the very last fang They think that I'm asleep but I'm ready to make a bang They thought to guard against the coming of the judgement day I'll just say let there be light and there'll be hell to pay
Warhead...
Nothing really matters now, the weak they just complain Do they think their lives somehow have any worth to gain? Naked in the blast like flies, they'll leave an oily stain Ashes will be washed away in this all consuming rain
I've been fasting, face to the dawn From the desert of thoughs only prayers will carry on I've been waiting, knees in the sand Will there be time enough for me to understand?
I've been breathing the air of high pass The cold reaches into my bones, turning me to glass I've been bleeding, but the cup's not filled I hope to see into it now, see my heart stilled
Far and away from here I'd lie down to find some rest Something whispers in my ear, the hurt has found a place to nest Shining black... I see you now Shining black... You're made of steel Shining black... I see you now Shining black... And you're made of steel
I've been fighting the worm of despair The hollowed me is losing strength, maybe I don't care
The demon whispers in my ear, the hurt has found a home here Shining black... I see you now Shining black... You're made of steel Shining black... I see you now Shining black... And you're made of steel
Blind, searching the dark Stand, pray and leap Watch not with your eyes The creatures of the deep Sail, the waters are black Don't rock the boat Cry the unseen away Until it breaks your throat
Inside a dream is where we find each other I'll follow the scent of your need
There a crack in the sky Whiteness ablaze God of thunder, he rides To impale us with his gaze
Inside the storm are the hounds of the father They will find your scent if you bleed
The children of love torn asunder Heavens ring, the seas cry There are things trying to pull us under Hust find your wings and fly Fly to me, I'm your faithful defender Heavens ring, the seas cry My wounds are yours to tender just find your wings and fly Fly to me
Inside the soft flame of our desire I'll follow the smoke to your fire
The children of love torn asunder Heavens ring, the seas cry There are things trying to pull us under Hust find your wings and fly Fly to me, I'm your faithful defender Heavens ring, the seas cry My wounds are yours to tender just find your wings and fly Fly to me
Space, time and rocketjuice Suck at the bittersweet taste Light, sound, they mutate Paradoxic waste
Face, grime, the ingrained humour The black laughter drowns it all Flight, bound for even horizon Head on to the fall
Got a crush on you you'll do some time here I will pull you through and hold you near Love binds all, it's true I'm a dark star burning I'm a dark star burning I'm burning and turning I'm a dark star burning
Blue sky, endless spiral Get dizzy, it's all right These ways of your flesh are too small and tight
You are the final joining Never need another one Crashrace into the heart of the eclipsed sun
Dark star freezing for you Freezing for you Freezing for you (Dark star)
I've seen the marvels of the molten flesh I've smelled the wired nerves burn I've been at the barriers of endless time I've felt the knives of pleasure turn
The bloodless wounds pulsing with energy Crack myself open, I'll have to set it free
In me... The scourger! There are things I never thought I would see The shredded one will say All right! The scourger! The better me fell to the blight, I was cursed anyway
I've ripped my nails climbing the razorwalls I've grown new ones of steel I've skipped the conscience and it's nagging calls I've thrown over the unreal
The third eye, the lizard mind cries victory Split myself open, I'll have to set it free
In me... The scourger! There are things I never thought I would see The shredded one will say All right! The scourger! The better me fell to the blight, I was cursed anyway
Don't wake this child of lies, he sleeps here in me Now I'm just his dream He sees things with my eyes, things he knows that can't be Floating in my mindstream
He's been betrayed by the truth, led astray by answers Bruised by all that's real So sleep my sorrowed youth while I stand guard here Afraid you'll never heal
I wouldn't mind if he was lost He wouldn't mind if I was free I wouldn't mind to take the cost Strike me blind and leave me be You are me...
I wouldn't mind if he was lost He wouldn't mind if I was free I wouldn't mind to take the cost Strike me blind and leave me be You are me...
Don't wake this child of lies, he sleeps here in me Now I'm just his dream
Inhale from the barrel of my gun Swallow these words and be blown away The spirits are here to fill me with nothing There's no one here to keep them at bay And I say...
No more cover-ups, no more scheming I hear it coming, kicking and screaming The punishment, long due The souls convulse together, I'll never be through with you
The promises under the hammer of time They're in pieces but you never heard them break Now the dreams are voided, the threats are real Come to an understanding with the mutual hate we feel And I say...
No more cover-ups, no more scheming I hear it coming, kicking and screaming The punishment, long due The souls convulse together, I'll never be through with you
I drink from the life of your soul And laugh at the wraith punched with holes You had the same idea, I'm sorry but I'm still here So gimme the kiss of life and death my dear And I say...
No more cover-ups, no more scheming I hear it coming, kicking and screaming The punishment, long due The souls convulse together, I'll never be through with you
I'm the wind, I'm the snow Taste me with the tip of your tongue I need your heat And if I have to steal it, I'll do it gently There's no shame, my words are sweet
I've been sucking on sore hearts Knelt by the cold mountains on a starlit night I've watched the people of this earth Seen their love, their dreams Seen them losing sight
Losing sight... Ohh, losing sight...
There's a world of ice within me A kiss is all I need and it grows in you Pregnant with all that's lost A flower of the moon A dream that shouldn't come true
No sorrier villain, a lover more sinister But this one here All of our regrets will be put away soon The ice will be clear
In the shuffling madess of the locomotive breath, runs the all-time loser, headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping -- steam breaking on his brow -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going -- no way to slow down. He sees his children jumping off at the stations -- one by one. His woman and his best friend -- in bed and having fun. He's crawling down the corridor on his hands and knees -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going -- no way to slow down. He hears the silence howling -- catches angels as they fall. And the all-time winner has got him by the balls. He picks up Gideons Bible -- open at page one -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop going -- no way to slow down.
