Revelation
03:00
|
|||
By the year 2050, humanity will have made a vast wasteland of the blue planet
You have eliminated indigenous people and animals in the name of human progress
You poison the air you breath with noxious chemicals, your offspring have grown obese on sustenance devoid of nutrition
For millennia, your role as caretaker has been in question, and we have now determined, that a change is in order.
You kill one another without justification of provocation, you rape your own and destroy your cities, you dissect- the innocent unborn
We have come now as your judge, jury, and executioner- Your suffering- will be immeasurable
I can't see the sun
I can't feel the sun
You have harnessed the power of the atom, but as a bumbling child king- you have no respect for the knowledge bestowed upon you
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Mayak, and Chernobyl are your crimes against humanity
The oceans you traverse, cry for for justice- it's inhabitants choking from your refuse
Your leaders adopt false narratives and ignore natural law
You tout self righteousness- yet your lack of vision dooms you to repeat your endless mistakes
In the interest of universal peace, humans have been deemed an unnecessary liability- a foolish child race warranting eternal punishment
We are are now ready to pronounce our sentence- this is the end of humanity's evil reign
May God have mercy on your wicked souls
I can't see the sun
I can't feel the sun
This is your revelation
Your arrogance has determined your fate

T.W.I.N.E.
04:08
|

Resistant to fade, through the eyes of a child, in the wake of a world gone mad
Convoluted in thought, is your conduit prayer, swallow salt as the truth denied
Rage in your heart, hate in your mind, you want it all
The world is not enough
Lie on the floor and retch over you, I walk the finest line for the truth
You give me all, and yet I have none, just look what you have done
Components are made as components destroyed, substitution won't satisfy
Addicted to change, you are empty within, cancel thought of opposing side
Rage in your heart, hate in your mind, you want it all
The world is not enough
Lie on the floor and retch over you, I walk the finest line for the truth
You give me all, and yet I have none, just look what you have done
Lie on the floor and retch over you, I'd set myself on fire for the truth
Rage in your heart and hate in your mind, just look what you've become
Are you resistant to fade
Are you resistant to fade
Are you addicted to change
Are you resistant to fade
The world is not enough

Beauty Fades
04:14
|
|||
Lost, is when you will find me
Like running circles down on your knees
You be the sun, and I'll be the rain
Circumvention efforts are in vain
If your life is an open book show me
Before the beauty fades, as all will pass in time
Before the beauty fades, as day turns into night
Before the beauty fades
Found, is when you will be free
Somewhere in playback your thoughts have been breached
You be the pleasure, I'll be the pain
Darkened windows cannot hide your shame
If your life is an empty book show me
Before the Beauty fades
You feel indifferent, I eat the blame
Finding out the song remains the same
If your life is an open book show me, before the beauty fades
Before the beauty fades
As all will pass in time
Before the beauty fades, as day turns into night
Before the beauty fades
Beauty fades
Before the beauty fades

If You Were To Be
04:16
|
|||
What you want is what you need
Tell me what you want to be
What you will and what you won't
A bitter pill I hope you don't
When you speak your mind
Does it set you free
If you were to be, everything you read
Coming from behind, could you find your way
Blinded by success, failing to pervade
Upside down and inside out
Tell me what you're all about
Where you've been and where you are
Hidden roads can take you far
When you speak your mind
Does it set you free
If you were to be, everything you read
Coming from behind, could you find your way
Blinded by success, failing to pervade
Accept the end as it's meant to be
The world goes on without you and me
Holding on before you part
Live your life like a dying art
If you were to be
If you were to be
If you were to be
If you were to be
If you were to be
If you were to be

Bone Collector
03:55
|

Photograph the living dead
As they sing lightly by their graves
Sing a song of conquered worlds
They quietly wait for your reply
Cuz you're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now
There's too many pictures in this frame
You find them meaningless, and walk away
Unknown places faces begin to wail
They quietly wait for your demise
Cuz you're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now
Cuz you're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now
Cuz you're the bone collector now
You're the bone collector now, now now
You're the bone collector now

Voltaire Nouveau
04:17
|
|||
Could it be your lying eyes deceive you, like a vision in the mist
When I read between the lines I find you, a hidden pulse within the wrist
It's Voltaire Nouveau
It's Voltaire Nouveau
It's Voltaire Nouveau
Stuck behind a wall a stranger calls you, like a war drum on the move
A crack of light within the door jamb shows two, lovers deep within the night
It's Voltaire Nouveau
It's Voltaire Nouveau
It's Voltaire Nouveau
If there's a hundred million lies between us, do we really want to know
If it's the hand of fate that leads and guides us, or is it faith nobody knows
It's Voltaire Nouveau

Forever And A Day
03:30
|
|||
What will be said in time, of days when we lived so recklessly
As faces became unkind, and people could not agree
Why, why can't we be free, to live our lives, the way they're meant to be
It's only forever, only forever, only forever and a day to me
Only forever, if life is the treasure, it's only forever and a day to me.
What will we leave behind, to show we were here, to say we were free
Would they respond in kind, or will they even see
It's only forever, only forever, only forever and a day to me
Only forever, if life is the treasure, it's only forever and a day to me.
Why, why can't we be free, to live our lives, the way they're meant to be
It's only forever, only forever, only forever and a day to me
Only forever, if love is the treasure,
It's only forever and a day to me
It's only forever, and a day to me
It's only forever, and a day to me

The Watchman
04:09
|
|||
Who'll be the watchman, waiting on the wall, his eyes out toward the east
Who'll be the one man, just before the fall, to light the signal fires, to warn us one and all
If you were the last man standing, could you save us all
If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call
Who'll be the leader, waiting in the hall, with voice that leads to peace
Who'll be the first man, to rise above them all
To be the guiding light, to lead us one and all
If you were the last man standing, could you save us all
If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call
If you were the last man standing, could you save us all
If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call
If you were the last man standing, could you save us all
If you were the chosen one, would you accept the call

Life Clich`e
04:35
|
|||
How many times can you bring yourself back to face
Before the ultimate goal is reached, to end your chase
The world can only hold you back, so long as you allow
It is your decision to succeed or fail
Stand or fall to find yourself
Win or lose it's all the same
Walk or run your there no faster than the prey
Sink or swim it's just a game
Fix your eyes up to the skies, and live another day
The sun still rises in the east, no matter what they say
Check your fear - defy the odds - break down the walls that may
Sanitize your living soul, it's weaker by the day
Sell yourself for avarice, to live the life cliche
Stand
Stand or fall reveal yourself
Win or lose, you're still their slave
Walk or run, you're losing ground most every day
Sink or swim, it's just a game
Fix your eyes up to the skies, and live another day
The sun still rises in the east, no matter what they say
Check your fear - defy the odds - break down the walls that may
Sanitize your living soul, it's weaker by the day
Sell yourself for avarice, to live the life cliche
Stand or fall to find yourself
Win or lose it's all the same
Walk or run your there no faster than the prey
Sink or swim it's just a game

Gravity
04:20
|
|||
It's easy to compare- pain and pleasure- when you- disconnect what brought you there
Blood and treasure- exact the measure- of the lives- of those you leave behind
What is on the other side
Would you save a place for me
Is gravity the same
Will we know each others name
Hidden from the face of men
Pushing faith beyond the breaking point
Its risky when you share- lies and secrets- when you- betray the souls that bare
Hell or heaven- ask the question- if you- you find you might be there
What is on the other side
Would you save a place for me
Is gravity the same
Will we know each other’s name
What is on the other side
Would you save a place for me
Is gravity the same
Will we know each others name
What is on the other side
Would you say a prayer for me
Is gravity the same
