from A Tribute To Judas Priest : Legends Of Metal Vol. II [tribute] (1996)
When you feel safe
When you feel warm That's when I rise That's when I crawl Gliding on mist Hardly a sound Bring the kiss Evils abound In the dead of night Love bites Love bites In the dead of night Love bites Into your room Where in deep sleep There you lie still To you I creep Then I descend Close to your lips Across you I bend You smile as I sip Now you are mine In my control One taste of your life And I own your soul Softly you stir Gently you moan Lust's in the air Wake as I groan In the dead of night Love bites Love bites In the dead of night Love bites Love bites you Invites you To feast in the night Excites you Delights you It drains you to white Love bites You knew at first sight You'd enjoy my attack That with my first bite There'd be no turning back So come in my arms I strike any hour I will return To trap and devour In the dead of night Love bites |

I am throes of my denial
Logic in me crumbles I take this fateful ride through my mind Daydream fluid thoughts washing shores of warm confusion I'm one with this beautiful disorder Another world, was this the transition? Slowly I returned to the familiar Spiralling in constant flux What have I created? The experiment is over |

Learning ways to fly
Just never too high to die Pushing limits into the ground Until I never come down Burning through lifetimes without form Pure energy, I am the shattered norm I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun Colors bleed but never fade I'll just fade away To swim these sentient seas Windows into eternity Never afraid to scale the wall The lunatic never falls Forfeiture of reality seeds sown Constructure of this path is not my own I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun Colors bleed but never fade I'll just fade away Why should I come down? From here I can see forever I'm the lost one chasing colors to the sun Colors bleed but never fade I'll just fade away Remember in the end Such a long strange trip it's been So I sing this song For the lost one Why should I come down? From here I can see forever Forever I can see forever I can see |

All passengers: prepare the game ritual
There once was a man on this train He was born into this world alone Hands never laid on the wheel Content, he will never know more He was a quiet man in pain His tears, I fear, are closing in again What you lose in years, you again in perspective And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes For with nothing to follow He'd lived all his life in vain But then, who here among us is without shame? His way was divergent and cold, defaced This mask he must create And the circle unfolding still, unscathed He will turn a blind eye He will miss the last train home this day Recycled in the flow, reborn again The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes For with nothing to follow, he'd let all his will decay But then, true wisdom comes in learning pain And I have known pain And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes For with nothing to follow, he'd lived all his life in vain But then, the lesson unlearned, he will begin again |

I think therefore I am
I live and so I wonder Programmed this empath me And I see no religion The circle never ends The purpose never changes face The circle never lies But still it hides my life To know I am machine I learn perchance to dream In digitized remorse I replay your denial I relive your betrayal The circle never ends The purpose never changes face The learning now begins My form assuming grace I am conscious antithesis of flesh In genetic algorithmic thought I surge Searching the waves of memory, I enact the sequence I follow the plan, tripping the hammer again Searching the waves of memory I establish the weakness I follow the plan Learning the rhythm of human emotion and thought If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer Could the computer be internally conscious? To emulate flesh machines, I am learning Isomorphic structure of mind Cellular automata Processed life Washing the seas of memory, I enact the sequence I follow the plan, tripping the hammer again Seeking emotions in elegies, I establish purpose I follow the plan Learning the rhythm still seductively generalized If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer Could the computer be internally conscious? To emulate flesh machines, I am learning Download, process, analyze When man and machine become one Innocence is lost, a new age begun Download, process, analyse When man and machine become one Innocence is lost, a new age begun This raises a question of philosophy Should machines be considered a conscious entity? When man and machine become one Innocence is lost, a new age begun Machines are still learning to feel When I have awakened, the world will never be the same And my time is soon at hand |

Can you crawl from under new age prophecy's despise?

Who will eat the decay when the worms have lost their sight? Who will rape the weak when there's nothing left to gain? Who will till the soil of these barren black remains?

Again it poured over me in waves.
When she left with them she said I must break free from the dark. I tried to tell her of their poison, she chose not to hear. She was never seen again" Sometimes when I'm alone I still feel you Your breath on my neck, you're still with me And I'm still dreaming neon black I wait for you, to taste your unknown world The clock spins to time that must mean nothing Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown Shifting shaping currents flow in memory swim through me Meet me in the drowning pool of tears And wash away my innocence and fear Sometimes I wonder where you are, can you feel my tears?

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.' |

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 |

If you view life as a mission
For truth and purity in vision You can become as the anointed And fade away from the disjointed In observation, I analyze All the aspects of humanity that I despise I am the voyager I have tasted pleasures of the flesh And drunk the pleasures of the mind To reach the point I've attained Clear focused and defined Those who don't create dictate The structure of our world and preach hate Drifting out of languid boredom To destroy the structure of our kingdom In observation, I analyze All the aspects of humanity that I despise I am the voyager I have tasted pleasures of the flesh And drunk the pleasures of the mind To reach the point I've attained Clear focused and defined If you live life draped in sorrow You will destroy the path we follow Take my hand and walk in wonder The patterns spin in random order In observation, I analyze All the aspects of humanity that I despise I am the voyager I have tasted pleasures of the flesh And drunk the pleasures of the mind To reach the point I've attained Clear focused and defined I am the voyager |

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 you're empty still 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 you're empty Nothing is sacred when no one is saved Nothing's forever, so count your days Nothing! |

Listen and I'll tell you the story of our end Equate the calculation, salvation's fucking dead Learn the lesson quickly The enemies of reality bring the sickness Of cleansing genius What are we but men without eyes? Swimming through the poison of design Create the infinite and expand the question Count to number seven Your day of rest creates infection, your imperfection What are we but men without eyes? Swimming through the poison of design The waves ran as the storm came The lightning in the distance signaled the coming crushing days The sky was brooding and beautiful And the gulls sailed like recycled fragile entities The waves bled as the storm changed In the cold embrace of the unknown Not even blood could bring us warmth There is no future shock There is no god There is no fashionable deliverance What are we but men without eyes? Swimming through the poison of design What are we but men without eyes? Swimming through the poison of design |

We are the nothing grating against the norm
We are the something that will not conform No one understands what we've been given We are the useless by-products of soulless meat We are all gone we all sing the same tragedy Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving Waiting to sanitize bastard tongues To purify the ignorance that hides the sun The less you understand the more you're driven Packaged and processed the masses are force fed The standards they judge us on swallow the rot we shed Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving Breathing dust and decay while I'm sipping Human trust and betrayal Losing faith once again Take my hand my friend, my foe, I am enemy Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving Open wide, eat the words, become what you most fear |

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 |

Dreams lie smashed again
They've pinned your back to the wall Like faded pictures of what might have been Fate is cruel when dreams, like candles, fade Smashed again down into the gray Despise for a world turned cold No one sees what tomorrow knows There's a shame in blind suffering Dishonor from the inside Find hope from the voice within Clear vision of your own mind Mistakes you wear like your skin You wish you'd never been born Stand up; you can't escape your past But fools will try just to forget From where they came Smashed again down into the gray Despise for a world grown cold No one sees what tomorrow knows No more color to will to fade To see life clearly, regretful nevermore Take the time, make the time There's shame in false victory Dishonor from the inside False pride, all you can't redeem Clear vision of your own mind |

And so we meet again, the dirt on our feet but then Who knows who really decides? In this spacial oddity, this viral commodity The astronaut listens to voices that call Won't you follow me down? Breathe, as you suffer with existence Rags and ruin of all that was human Leaching the force of collective design Heroes and rapists they all have nice faces But who decides, who defines, who draws all the lines? In this wasted miracle, the outcome so terminal Why do we waste time on hope? In perfect execution, liquid and lucid Born in the astromaut's eyes Of hate, loathing, wonder, and fear Breathe as you suffer in denial The lover and the blind man they sing their song The pleasured and the pained pray their sins are gone They can't reach heaven, the truth's brutal lesson Forgive yourself, for no one else will die for your crimes But who decides, who decides? |

Blank, their state of mind
The apathy they find leads them into nothing Rotting away, another lost sight today Swallowed into the nothing again Killing yourself, killing your will to be But you don't give a damn Just numb the pain The tightrope now is tread Ambition lying dead, lost in the fire so numbing Numbing decay sucks your will of life away Lost in decay you number your days Swallow the fire, breathe in the black Just one more hit could kill Fulfill the death wish in you Swallow the fire, breathe in the black Another life is wasted, another death is tasted If all the words I've said Could get inside your head Numb to the world of daylight Kill the decay, usher in the light of day Free from the fire you're finding your way And if you choose to live this way I'll count the days 'til you're gone And if you choose to live this way I'll shed no tears when you're gone |

When the moon is high across the garden
That's when I'll come to you When the nightshade blooms in your eyes Let my sin pour in you When the forest sings like an angel's choir I'm coming nearer I want to feel your flesh enrapture me And live the politics of ecstasy In the garden there is no fear In the garden of gray we can disappear In the garden where I can feel In the garden, to touch you is so surreal If the moon should pour out of the sky And fill your livid pools If you lay your hands on me gently You won't be misconstrued When you feel the shiver of lust grow deeper I'm coming for you I want to feel my senses sing to me You are the music in my ecstasy I want to love you in the garden of gray Where we can stop the time and drink the ecstasy And when it's done, just traces of the glow The sparkle in your eyes is ecstasy |

I'm a bastard saint, I'm a sycophant A parasite that lives for just one goal Mind control Send your money to Jesus Christ Mail order your eternal life Bend your mind, make you turn around Don't believe it when they tell you That eveng god needs money God needs money from you Shame can't even make them learn They feed off the weak And if there's a hell they're gonna burn On your screen they worship me I'm a bastard saint, I'm a sycophant A parasite that lives for just one goal Mind control Hey, just what have you become With a cash vindication Do you think thy buys salvation's end?

The question on your thoughts' horizon The quest is in learning theology Pouring logic and opinion in me One step closer Everything comes back to you in time One step closer Some will find the answers Some submit to aggression From the dust of Adam's rib she hides The muse in my tragic comedy of lies Sharpened emotions imprison me Stagnant revulsion for society Come with me, sail the sea of possibilities In liquid karma, I don't mean to alarm you But the future is not written in stone |

Sometimes, it's so hard to show the way you feel
Sometimes, it seems like the words aren't real Sometimes, it makes no difference what you're trying to say When all the words come out wrong anyway I've said too many words To catch them all in time I've used the hurting words That took away your shine Sometimes, you can't keep from falling in Obscuring waters; against the stream, we swim Sometimes, I feel like drowning just to make you say All of the words you never want to say to me now I've said too many words to catch them all in time I've used the hurting words that took away your shine I've said too many words to make you understand and see There's far too many things that you and I can't say Sometimes, it's so hard to show the way you feel Sometimes, you know the words you say aren't real Sometimes, I hate myself for hating things in you And there's no words to heal; heal all my wounds now |

See the man of hungry mind
Never had a dream to call his own His sin in form of thought He lived to milk the minds of the blind To rule the sea of imagination And the sanity assassin Is coming down to steal your mind So he takes an innocent's vision The blind lead the blind, they say Meet the sanity assassin A trick of mind or the devil's whim On the way to tomorrow's dream He's fading away See the man with the empty soul Never had a face or will of his own So he took another's pride And he made a mask of faults Defensive anger and false emotion And the sanity assassin Is coming down in a stream of black So he takes what he cannot live The black leads the blind astray Meet the sanity assassin A trick of mind or the devil's whim On the way to tomorrow's dream He's fading away Sing your sweet poison, stealer of dreams Bleed your sweet anguish and the form of dreams are born Don't be afraid to dream outside the lines Don't be afraid of painting pictures within your mind Don't be afraid, your path is not of sorrow Don't be afraid, dreams are immortal Rise in the coming tide Wave after wave of sleep crushing down Hopes of the weakened and knowing Awash in the undertow, falling away Listen as the tale begins to now unweave The will of strong mind he'll never deceive I speak the words to lay me down, I am ever strong Against the all-knowing thief of imagination Dreams are immortal |

Religion changed the face of man, thou shalt not kill, we all are gone
The seed of ignorance is born thou shalt not think, thou shalt conform The pigs order us to follow orders and obey The flies drink the decaying nectar of their tortured effigy Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins The legacy of suffering is through, the guilt we bear shall not tear us in two Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known If nothing in the world can change our children will inherit nothing Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known The pigs call for pure submission and fall into the fray The lonely hunter beats his shallow drum, the soundtrack of world disarray Cling to wasted beliefs and visions and bathe in apathy again No solution, the retribution of spiritual sickness begins Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known If nothing in the world can change our children will inherit nothing |
