Sinner rider, rides in with the storm The devil rides beside him The devil is his god, God help you mourn Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder Deafen every living thing about Can you, can you see it, can you See the mountains darken yonder Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
His steed of fury, Eyes of fire and mane ablaze Demonic vultures stalking Drawn by the smell of war and pain He roams the starways Searching for the carcasses of war But if it's hungry then its very presence Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils Won't you help them pray God of the Devils, God of the Devils Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping, so sound War raises its head, and looks slowly around The Sinner is near, sensing the fear And the beast will start movin' around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight
Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the Sinner!
Nerves on fire, nothing is a sneaker... everything is catastrophe That bump in your armpit is Cancer That bump was turbulence I guess it starts again
There is no reason for nostalgia, Everything is still happening, There is no reason for memory
The step, a choice. I wish everything could have worked out the way you wanted it to It's so tragic...so beautiful... When everything is so hollow Think of going home.
You are so beautiful to me You are so beautiful to me So far, i've logged so many hours With medications and the dog ...You are so beautiful to me
So far, I've lost so many hours, Two medications and a dog
IT'S JUST ANOTHER MOUNTAIN! ...JUST ANOTHER MOUNTAIN!
Eat your beets, recycle...recycle... Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle
The message is; 'THERE IS NO MESSAGE'
Babe, you better not ever think, Staring into the drink...get out of my mind... Cause I may not be the one to say, is there no other way we could do this another day?
I saw God.
She said... 'If you don't believe me, guaranteed you'll never leave me' On your way, and out of my time But I didn't even know if it was true or just a result of chemicals
Shut up and think of something more important to say... 'Sometimes I think that in every straight there's a gay!' Something or nothing a whole either way it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY
It's like your birthday, it's on Earth Day, Like a child you're born again, little child you're bored again... It's your worst fucking day, it's on Earth Day... Little lies to cover up...please make your mind up
(Eat your beets, Recycle...recycle...) (...Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle)
Man Overboard (I'm so far away) Man overboard (I'm so far...) But fuck it! ...I really don't care Fuck! Listen to me! Just shut the fuck up!
Peace, Love, Joy Man overboard (I'm so far...) Hate, hell, war Hate, love, love, hate, love, hate...destruction!
So just shut your face and take a seat Because after all, you're just talking meat...and music? Well, it's just entertainment folks.
Sometimes I think that I really have something moreto say... 'Sometimes I think that in every straight there's a gay!' ...forgive me for saying it blows either way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way...
It's your birthday, it's on Earth Day, Like a child you're born again, little child you're cold again... It's your worst fucking day, it's on Earth Day Little child your time is up...please turn the heat up
You need your beets, you recycle... ...Don't eat your beets...recycle...
It's alright to cry It's alright to lean on everyone It's alright to lie in the bed you've made for everyone
And anytime you need someone, Anytime you heed someone, Anytime you need me babe, I will be there.
It's alright to die It's alright to bleed on everyone It's alright this time It's all life, you learn from everyone
With every single time you go ...And every single line you blow Anytime you need it man, I won't be there
(Inside the picture of the huge, sterile black and white diner on a rainy Sunday afternoon in chinatown)
It's all going away now ...All going away now Going, going ...gone Going, going ...gone
It's alright to cry It's alright to feed on everyone It's alright to hide, In your cozy bed from everyone So anytime you need it man, Get inside and be it man... Anytime you call, Suffer!!!
The road, It's home, At least for now, the river's low
Wake me, please wake me, It's cold and warm on the prairie freeway
All the time I needed your approval to be me All that time spent waiting for the jury duty... More than ever I needed Mora More than Mora means... Be whatever you must be to get by
The road, it's home, the mountain high, river low... Wake me, please wake me, When it's my turn to drive Only the lonely (and maybe John Denver) know the Canadian freeway.
I am a Fluke in the world I haven't spoken a single word I'll have to wade through the bullshit Baby just to find my own vision of pearl I am a fluke in your world And even though it's a bit absurd I've been living in a dreamworld man And I hope you'll enjoy what I've heard
Can't you see through me? Can't you hear through me? Just a moment in time...
FREAK!!! ...FLUKE!!!
....writing and eating and shitting and sleeping in rain or in shine masturbate till i'm blind in the cause and effect of the one troubled segment of time and the place and the look on your face and I write and I eat and I shit and I sleep yes I eat leafy greens nearly three times a week and I'm not unafraid but no longer afraid of you anymore....
Down and under I've felt the toll You can't hurt me any more
I'm not afraid of you anymore!
Can't you see through me? Can't you hear through me? ...Corona without a lime.
Hello, it's good to see you here Come in, can I offer you a beer? And they say this what it's like forever ...Roll this up, it's deadly... To feel, feel like there's nobody here ...Feel like there's no more fear I wanna feel like this for a year... ...Feel like there's nobody here...
Tune in and lock yourself away Relax, it doesn't matter anyway 'Cause it's all a lie it's true, I think...I know...I guess...I know ...Fuck off Why can't I remember?
Heroes, they take my breath away Zero the dials See how a breakdown breaks ground And zeros the miles
Baby baby, don't you cry Wipe away that tear from your eye Sailing on a sea of blue In my dreams there's a place for me and you
Baby babe don't say a word In this life you get all that you deserve I'm sorry that I made you cry I can't believe I'm just an ordinary guy
When all is said and done It's all only won by one
And now I'm 29 years old And I'm a million miles away
Hey babe, don't treat it like it's a fucking luxury. Baby babe don't say a word In this life you get all that you deserve I'm sorry that I made you cry I can't believe I'm just an ordinary guy
I can't believe I made you cry I can't believe that made you cry I can't believe this makes you cry
I see you I need you I leave you behind I've learned my lesson
Summer's here, the sunlight greets the day The winters gone, there's no more rain today... And if I could, I'm sure that I would take your breath away So ain't it funny how, after trying to find my way home I'm in the middle now and I won't get lost again
Cause in the winter time, when everything is grey And in the summer time, into the month of May I get a feeling that it's all so temporary And that's the feeling that can take my blues away
Tired of the way that I'm feeling everyday And I feel it in my head...woo-hoo-hoo... Tired of the way that I'm feeling everyday And I feel it in my head now, my head now
It's beautiful, the way it's meant to be... beautiful, but it 'don't do shit' for me... So peel away a little skin and choke upon the bone And ain't it funny how, after trying to find my way home, I'm in the middle now, and I won't get lost again.

I know why and where the water flows but I, I don't remember anything at all I sit in the mountain, sit in the mountain, alone sit in the mountain, I know, I know 'cause I've been there before
stay a while, and let the feelings go... stay... stay... don't remember anything today sit in the mountain, sit in the mountain alone sit in the mountain, I know, I know 'cause I've been there before

I watch you In my silence I was you Last grey morning
I want you And I cast you And I face disaster
I ask you, being man I have less use for dignification I know, In myself, I defy, Yet I fall to instinct primitive Am I here? Is this home? ...better run from myself, better run...
I want you Silently forgiven I want you The pain bestowed
I feel a change in the air, Outstretched to God, He fields the suffering A feeling close to me, who closes in? I knew I didn't have to go Feeding stop the hunger flat, low, living, Caution for a lunatic... Left her behind, god-damnit She didn't have the luck to follow
Well here's a little lie about the man she stole away 'Night within a soul cries 'hallelujah' when your drowning'... Once, fast below, woman... It's fault is not your own, And as you are to my world, my world shall always be to you,

80년대 이후 더 이상의 스타가 존재하지 않는 메틀씬의 현실이 얼마 전에 들려온 메가데스의 해체 소식으로 새삼스럽게 상기되곤 하는 지금, 데빈 타운젠드의 존재는 팬들에게 일종의 위안이다. 프런트 라인 어셈블리, 스트리핑 영 래드 등의 밴드를 통해 그간 그가 들려준 음악은 말랑하고 톡톡 튀는 것이 미덕으로 인정받는 지금의 시대에 헤비함에 굶주린 팬들의 허기를 채워주고도 남는 것인데, 그 파괴력은 얼마전의 부산 국제 록 페스티벌을 통해 이미 국내 팬들에게도 입증된 바 있다. 그런 그가 새롭게 손에 들고 온 작품 [Terria]는 부산 공연을 통해 우리에게 보여준 모습과는 달리 약간 느슨한 리프, 길고 짧음을 적당한 선에서 유지하는 호흡, 수축과 팽창을 반복하는 탄력적인 멜로디로 설명된다. 테크닉에 집착하지 않는...
