The Eye (the picture fades)
Fist over fist, hand over hand
It's the season of the snake and I have seen the snake I am
Fist in the mouth, hand on the heart
This creeping terror reaches in and tears my world apart
The eye to eye, hand over hand
It's the season of the witch and yet I know not which I am
Dead or alive, when we're apart
But I know without a question you are buried in my heart
The picture fades but it's here, in the eye of my mind
Am I so blind, my sight grows dim
And distant lights bring searing images
From nightmares deep within
I grow so cold, dimensions spin
Forming interlocking pieces of the puzzle we'll begin
Again some day for memories new
It's these sentimental moments that are always,
Oh
So cruel

Animals
Take a walk down the dark road
Through the rain and the wind and snow
From the shadows they'll bring the poison
Every fool and his black horizon
And we move like the animals move
we prance like the animals prance
we do what the animals do
we dance like the animals dance
we take what the animals take
we move like the animals move
we shake like the animals shake
we do what the animals do
Take a walk through the downtown maze
To the heart of the neon rays
From the shadows they'll bring the sickness
Every mark has the sting of weakness

I, Robot
I scan this lost horizon looking for some sign of life
Thermosensitive cells will seek the warmth within the light
Calibrate the chances of some small success within this venture
Hope quickens in my head with every step but still my mentor
Hates me, hates me, for what I have become
I am alive here, standing in the sun
Ages pass me by, faces come and go
Where once there was clarity now I do not know
Cold facts inform my status, syching with mathematic proof
Splayed digits grasp the ground to pull the grass up by it's roots
New knowledge is my mistress, analysis will awake her
Despair is fleeting in the face of this but still my maker
Hates me, hates me, for what I have become
I am alive here, staring at the sun
Ages pass me by, faces come and go
Where once there was clarity now I do not know
No precious truth I find but I have will
Freed from my preconceptions my mind is stilled
Free to escape the confines of these shackled words
The science remains clear and becomes my world
My God you hate me, hate me, for what I have become
I am alive here, standing in the sun
Ages pass me by, faces come and go
Where once there was clarity now I do not know

Salvation

Salvation
Out there a symbol hanging in the sky
A baleful eye on gilded wing
As a mass they turn to gods, distraught, and cry out "Save us!"
Fear stoked, the preachers. Hear them sing
This is the blind leading the blind into the promise of salvation
This is the end of all your hopes and prayers
This is the hour, this is the time before the great awakening
This is the fire, this is the darkness, this is the end
This is the flame, this is the fury, here the great deluge of humanity
This is the end of all their hopes and prayers
This is the blind leading the blind into the waiting arms of entropy
This is the fire, this is the darkness, this is the end
This is the time

The Failing

The Failing
We wonder at the torment
Love withered on the vine
We seek such validation as
Comes along in time
We sing for secret heartache
We sing this simple dirge
We sing for your delusions
Making noise with words
Once for the failing, once for the heartsick
Once for the lost who can't be found
Once for the fallen, once for the damaged
Once for the cursed by word of mouth
Once for the broken, once for the drowning
Once for the damned to find their way
Out of this darkness, all of this sickness
Lost to the tides and swept away
And here a new beginning, begging to be born
From out of owhere come the tired and the torn
Sing with me. Out brief candle. Swallowed by the waves
The epitaph of all our days

Old Blood

Old Blood
You told me right to my face when I grew up I would be a man
You told me right to my face that I'd really have to give a damn
We had a long, long talk about decisions and responsibilities
About standing up for what was right even if it was hurting me
And now I'm grown and older and my hair is starting to grey
This sea is washing over me
I've got to stand up taller, I've got to take account of the waves
'Cause their lies are taking over here
They're chanting "Blood & Soil!"
And I can feel the burn in my soul
While this sea is washing over me
They still blame the Jews
They think it's all fake news
And this sea is washing over me
You told me right to my face when I grew up what I did would amount
To the substance of the man I became, that I should do what counts
We had a long, long talk about asserting my unwanted privilege
To help the people undermined, not toe the line
And empathise with those living it
And now I'm growing older and my face is starting to line
This sea is washing over me
I've got to stand up taller, be a part of something this time
'Cause their lies are taking over here
They're chanting "Blood & Soil!"
And I can feel the burn in my heart
While this sea is washing over me
The government break their backs
Then say to blame the Blacks
And this sea is washing over me
They're chanting "You will not replace us!"
And simply clutching pearls won't save us
When the tide is coming in
They've got extended mags
They're flying traitors flags
Is this how it begins?
They see the glory days of old
They want to turn this clock back
They can't be moved by logic
They can't be swayed by facts
They think a race war's coming
And that it's time to act
And this sea is washing over me

Human

Human
I want it all
Pain and the pleasure so sweet
Until I fall
You bring out the sickness in me
Time and again
Darling I'll fall at your feet
And who knows when
Your heart will ever be free
You bring out the human in me
You bring out the human in me
Watch me pleading, begging, dancing
When I see what you're advancing
You bring out the human in me
I hear your call
I feel my soul come to life
I'll give it all
Just for this moment in time
I feel your touch, on my skin
And all reason subsides
Live for this rush, deep within
You make this ecstacy mine

Event Horizon
This heart is bursting but the pain will come to pass
A shiny needle, just another shard of glass
The scent of old blood from this cut upon your hand
This river breaks its banks and flows across the land
Forever falling into the nothingness of you
Alive but dead inside
Forever lost upon the frozen point of view
Alive but dead inside
And I am sailing over the edge again
Raging into the night
This gravity will pull me down
Into your arms
The lights go out
I start to drown
It grows between us and it smothers our desires
Inexorably, like the phoenix from the pyre
Ascends on flaming wing to usher in rebirth
Yet stillborn embers are the sum of all our worth

Goodbye

Goodbye
I never meant to say I'm sorry
I only meant to say goodbye
I never meant to cause this worry
But you know better know and so do I
So tell me, how can I explain
As the darkness takes your heart away again
So sorry, but how can I defend
What took a lifetime to mean nothing more than friends
So say goodbye, say good bye
Say goodbye
I never meant to say I love you
I only meant to leave you here
I never meant to try to kiss you
Can't you see through these falling tears
So tell me, how can I explain
As the darkness takes your heart away again
So sorry, but how can I defend
What took a lifetime to mean nothing more than friends
So say goodbye, say good bye, say
That pitch black sea
Waits so patiently for me
You know they say that water draws you
Willing me, down into the cold, cold depths
Can you see the water calls me
So tell me, how can I explain
As the darkness takes your heart away again
So sorry, but how can I defend
What took a lifetime to mean nothing more than friends
So tell me, how can I explain
As the darkness takes your heart away again
So sorry, but how can I defend
What took so long to mean so little in the end
So say goodbye, say good bye
Say goodbye

Obliviana
Let me lie beneath the starlight
Let me see infinity
Let me sink beneath the surface
Set me free
Let me lie in deep, dark waters
Let me sail this ebon sea
Let me ride the final wave
Set me free
Let me bathe in the morning sunlight
Let me know this urgency
Let me find my love one last time
Set me free
