Dim the lights
And shut down the radio
Play your part
A puppet in the freak show
Keep it low
But, I hear the radio
I hear the radio
The radio's on
Hold your gun
Cos you have the God right
Violence walks
A bullet on the inside
Master calls
The servant leads the old fight
Found a new low
And low is your birthright
I don't want no more
No more than what I'm missin'
I don't want no more
No more than what I'm missin'
I don't want no more
No more than what I'm missin'
I don't want no more
No more than my rights
You got the white house
City's on fire
People in the black room
Lookin' for a life
Turn the world west
But it never looked right
I'd burn your flag
And you wonder why
Feed your law
Keep me on the outside
Justice falls
And I’m on the last rite
If she talked
Then she’d lead the one fight
Out from the darkness
Into a new light
I don't want no more
No more than what I'm missin'
I don't want no more
No more than what I'm missin'
I don't want no more
No more than what I'm missin'
I don't want no more
No more than my rights
You got the white house
City's on fire
People in the black room
Lookin' for a life
Turn the world west
But it never looked right
I'd burn your flag
And you wonder why
You got the white house
City's on fire
People in the black room
Lookin' for a life
Turn the world west
But it never looked right
I'd burn your flag
And you wonder why
Here's the future sound of life
Here's the future sound of life
Here's the future sound of life
Here's the future sound of life

Where Did It Go?
03:54

Got style
You know it
You wore it so long
God's gift to the whole world
How could it go wrong?
Oh yeah,
You got a pretty face
But that's just now
And it’s a living race
And the future comes fast
And tomorrow’s near
And the mirror don’t lie
It’s most sincere
Oh
O – O – Oh
Oh
O – O – Oh
Time’s heavy
You’ll know it
It’s waiting for you
This road leads to nowhere
Just leaves you alone
Oh yeah,
You got a pretty face
But that’s just now
And it’s a living race
And the future comes fast
And tomorrow’s near
And the mirror don’t lie
Cos, it’s most sincere
Oh
O – O – Oh
Oh
O – O – Oh
Your words were so empty
So vain and so proud
Everybody wants to be you, baby
Well where are they now?
Oh yeah,
You had a pretty face
But that’s gone now
Cos it’s a living race
And the future came fast
And tomorrow’s here
You’re a bottomless soul
And it cost you dear
Oh
O – O – Oh
Oh
O – O – Oh
Where did it go?
Slow... down
Now, where did it go?
Oh no
Oh, where did it go
?
Go Go
Oh, where did it go?
Oh no
It’s over too soon.

The River
04:05

We’ve only got now
Tomorrow’s all doubt
There’s no time
When I me mine is all
Don’t take for granted
The life you planted
If there’s the sun
There’s a new dawn; no
Why can’t you see
That time’s a thief?
It breaks you down
And it takes you whole
If you believe
The future’s peace
Well you’re a fool
Better take control
Don’t wait now
Till it all works out
It’s all weighed
On the river
Don’t wait now
Till it all works out
It’s all weighed
On the river
You only need how
Within and without
If you find
That this is mine is all
Don’t think it matters
The world you gather
When it’s all done
The King is pawn; so
Why can’t you see
That time’s a thief?
It breaks you down
And it takes you whole
If you believe
The future’s peace
Well you’re a fool
Better take control
Don’t wait now
Till it all works out
It’s all weighed
On the river
Don’t wait now
Till it all works out
It’s all weighed
On the river
Don’t wait now
Till it all works out
It’s all weighed
On the river
Don’t wait now
Till it all works out
It’s all weighed
On the river

Dark Side Of Nothing
04:11
|
|||
|
I’m homesick for a place I...
I’ve never seen
Still making plans for what...
What could have been
The past is everything you...
You failed to be
I became you when you
Abandoned me
But when it’s said:
All you’ve given me
All you’ve given me
All you‘ve given me
All
All you’ve given me
All you’ve given me
All you‘ve given me
All
I claim it all
Your scarred love is growing
I have it all
The dark side of nothing
I’m searching for a time that...
Embraces me
Still holding lies that would...
Would set me free
My world is everything you’re...
You’re scared to be
I became lost when you
You rescued me
But when it’s said:
All you’ve given me
All you’ve given me
All you‘ve given me
All
All you’ve given me
All you’ve given me
All you‘ve given me
All
I claim it all
Your scarred love is growing
I have it all
The dark side of nothing
My crime is nothing but your...
Your fear of me
My skin a mirror of
All you see
So:
I claim it all
Your scarred love is growing
I have it all
The dark side of nothing

I can’t bear the day
There’s something in my world
The way you make it
You will pretend
But, there’s something in the way
The way you fake it
Nothing left to hide
Suffer the rose
But I won’t break
And I won’t beg
Cos
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
So many times
But, I will survive
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
These words aloud
But, you hide your ways
Away for a while
Somebody else
But it runs like a wire
And the wire leads home
You could hurt me maybe
I feel your blows
You could hurt me maybe
But, I want you
I want you to know
That
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
So many times
But, I will survive
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
See me climbing through your black tar; waking
I will never fall
You’re crawling with your black heart; waiting
You feel a little low
You’d fix me with your black ties; holding
I know you don’t wanna hear
But know that
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
So many times
But, I will survive
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now
Your Fire Can’t Burn Me Now

Resurrection Superman

Beezle B
Or Lucifer
Blame it on a fallen star
I won’t wear your bitter scar
Follow your plan
I don’t need your medicine
Reprogramme - Begin again
Build your life false
And it’s washed from sand
I can hear you loud and clear
But I am not a child of fear
There’s no medic
For a still born mind
I am not an animal
Can’t train me and off you go
You’ll never be
My superman
God saves from hell fire
I don’t want your vision
Cos i’ve seen it before
I don’t wanna be your sycophant
Here’s my confession
And it comes from the heart
You’re not my resurrection
Superman
God love me
I can do what I want
You’re not happy
Cos I have what you don’t
Well don’t blame me for
These feeling inside
I’m not crazy
I just don’t need your light
The problematic
Virtues of life
You’re preaching loud
What I do it ain’t right
Pretty fake honey
Tainted with pain
You sell it good
But it’s taste is the same
You sell it good but my soul is on fire
You sell it good but my soul is on fire
You sell it good but my soul is on fire
You sell it good but my soul is on fire
I don’t want your vision
Cos i’ve seen it before
I don’t wanna be your sycophant
Here’s my confession
And it comes from the heart
You’re not my resurrection
Superman
I don’t want your vision
Cos i’ve seen it before
I don’t wanna be your sycophant
Here’s my confession
And it comes from the heart
You’re not my resurrection

My Dead Friend
04:07
|
|||
|
I didn’t always show you
But, you should know that
I need you
I couldn’t stay home
Telling you I love you
I love you
It’s the voice inside me
Well, maybe I don’t want you
But I want to
Okay, I want you,
I may be hollow
Confused
A lost driver
On a one way dark street
My mind it always
Blinds me
Takes me, turns me
But you would make me
And I will
I will tell you
My dead friend
You’re the hole in my world
Such a beautiful thing
But you had to leave me
My dead friend
You’re my beautiful love
You’re the whole of my world
And it’s six feet on me now
Forget
The words said
I couldn’t see it and
I lost my way but I
Found out
I’m bowed down
It’s a long way
From faded glory
Give me morphine
To face the mornin’
I had your love
An’ I got nowhere near
I wanna show you
I wanna see you
Bright lit
Bright lit for me
My mind it always
Blinds me
Takes me, turns me
But you would make me
And I will
I will tell you
My dead friend
You’re the hole in my world
Such a beautiful thing
But you had to leave me
My dead friend
You’re my beautiful love
You’re the whole of my world
And it’s six feet on me
My dead friend
You’re the hole in my world
Such a beautiful thing
But you had to leave me
My dead friend
You’re my beautiful love
You’re the whole of my world
And it’s six feet on me now
I feel your ghost
So close
You know that
I need you close
So close
I feel your ghost
So close
You know that
I need you close
So close
My dead friend
You’re the hole in my world
Such a beautiful thing
But you had to leave me
My dead friend
You’re my beautiful love
You’re the whole of my world
And it’s six feet on me
My dead friend
You’re the hole in my world
Such a beautiful thing
But you had to leave me
My dead friend
You’re my beautiful love
You’re the whole of my world
And it’s six feet on me now

All Hail To The New Gods
05:46

I’ve got no interest
In the holy light
Can’t find no dream
In a veil of white
I found your words
On the Devil’s bookshelf
Some call it faith
I see a path right down below
Sing, «Hallelujah»
Find your road to Paradise
I lost my free will
And I never thought twice
So give me a
«Hallelujah»
Brother. Sister.
Got me singing on the telephone
«Hallelujah»
Mother
Gave my heart
Now Brimstone
Oh, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
Well, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
All hail to the new Gods
All hail to the new Gods
I dress myself like
The dead of night
One hundred lifetimes
In a single mind
I took your body
And I drank of your wine
You took my sin
But it always will be mine
Sing, «Hallelujah»
Find your road to Paradise
I lost my free will
And I never thought twice
So give me a
«Hallelujah»
Brother. Sister.
Got me singing on the telephone
«Hallelujah»
Mother
Gave my heart
Now Brimstone
Oh, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
Well, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
All hail to the new Gods
All hail to the new Gods
Bare witness
It’s a hollow crown
I’m free
I’m bound
I’ll go willing
To the lost and found
It’s here
It’s now
So
Sing, «Hallelujah»
Find your road to Paradise
I lost my free will
And I never thought twice
So give me a
«Hallelujah»
Brother. Sister.
Got me singing on the telephone
«Hallelujah»
Mother
Gave my heart
Now Brimstone
Oh, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
Well, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
All hail to the new Gods
All hail to the new Gods
«Hallelujah»
Brother. Sister.
Got me singing on the telephone
«Hallelujah»
Mother
Gave my heart
Now Brimstone
Oh, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
Well, Bring me fire
Bring me fire
All hail to the new Gods
All hail to the new Gods

Distorted Faith
04:18

|
Inside my heart I’ve got
Fault lines and false lies
But, i’ll be your model
You’ll be my black hole
Love comes from memory
And I’ll wait by all means
And, I’ll be your model
I’ll wait for my reward and more
Break down the walls of my
Home ties and old times
And, I’ll be your model
You’ll be my black hole
Hate loves an old stage
And I’ll play the whole scene
And, I’ll be your model
I’ll wait for my reward and more
Children don’t doubt me
Follow in blind faith
Aah
Devoted walk free
Distorted true faith
Aah
Inside my heart I’ve got
Fault lines and false lies
But, I’ll be your model
I’ll wait for my reward and more
Children don’t doubt me
Follow in blind faith
Aah
Devoted walk free
Distorted true faith
Aah

Mr Nowhere

Keep walking, Mr Nowhere
I don’t need your face ‘round here
Keep smiling, Mrs Don’t Care
I don’t think your crystal’s clear
Well, do you feel like no-one at home?
And do you feel like water is stone?
Do you know what you want
When the landscape keeps changing?
Re-arranging all the placings
What’s your part in this world?
Keep talking, Mr All There
Words you speak, but I don’t hear
Keep fighting, Mrs My Share
Here it is but nowhere near
Well, do you feel like no-one at home?
And do you feel like water is stone?
Do you know what you want
When the landscape keeps changing?
Re-arranging all the placings
What’s your part in this world?
Wa wa wa...
All head noise
Is all there ever was
All the noise and
All that never was
All head noise
Is all there ever was
All the noise and
All that never was
All head noise
Is all there ever was
All the noise and
All that never was
All head noise
Is all there ever was
All the noise and
All that never was
