Long Gone

Teacher of the storm
You are not welcome here
Preacher of the noise
Your voice is loud and clear
Seeker of the fight
Your water boils thin
Leader, give us hope
And teach us how to sin
Refrain:
I’m so gone
I just might disappear
Dealer of the truth
You are not welcome here
Savior of the blind
Please keep us full of fear
Sinners gather round
And harmonize our fate
Jesus, give us pills
So we can leave this place
Refrain:
I’m so gone
I just might disappear

Under Iron Feet
03:20
|
|||
We play with paper dolls and
Make the people get down and crawl
Smile with uneasy hatred
And catch the fruit when the tree is shaken
Suck the juice until the skin is grey.
Call us the masters of this place.
We are the living whose lives are taken
Our voices dead and our families broken
We collapse into the street
They tell us “Paradise under iron feet”
“Love your master and God will love you to.”
Call us the slaves of this…

Rolling Thunder
04:49
|

Rolling thunder hear my cry
As I wave the world goodbye
Rolling thunder hear my laugh
Cuz’ I know it’s the end at last
Here comes the flood
The taste of sweat and blood
Here comes the flood

Smile
06:29
|
|||
You try to fix me but I’m alright
I wear a scar behind my smile
I don’t need help just sanctuary
Within myself I’m buried
You try to fix me but I’m alright
I’m broke (I know) to your delight
You want my trust but it’s too late
Wicked deeds have sealed your fate
Heavy is the crown upon your head
You take from those until you’re fed
You wore a mask to cover your lies
Taking more than you need to survive

Alive In Time
04:20
|
|||
Running through the rain in June
My memories consumed
By what my father used to sigh
“The faster that you try to run
The more drenched you will become
Until you reach the other side.”
I’ve chased away so many nights
Soaked up the city lights
But still peace I cannot find…
Gazing at the autumn moon
My memories consumed
When I remember how she cried
She gave me love simple and pure
But I was searching for a cure
For my selfish design…

Lowlands
04:47
|
|||
Have you been to where the sidewalk ends?
Down in the lowlands…
Gun shots barking wakes the children again
Down in the lowlands…
Safely inside I watch my city bleed
Down in the lowlands…
I have found a way to love the streets that don’t love me
I have found a way to face the killer underneath
Come on surround the place…

Eye Of The Storm
03:56
|
|||
She was a darling
All the schoolboys hung around
She was a sad thing
Daddy’s hand came down
Mommy lay there like a stone
And tried not to hear a sound…
She’s waiting for you now
In the eye of the storm
“Try it our way
And you could be the weekend girl
With such a body
Their faces mop the floor
You’ll be empowered, in control
So you can take back what is yours…”
She’s waiting for you now
In the eye of the storm
Now she’s an old girl
Her tricks are nothing new
A crumpled dollar bill
So “This one’s just for you”
And as she crawls across the stage
She tries not to hear a sound…
She’s waiting for you now
In the eye of the storm

Comfort Machine
06:37
|
|||
Don’t talk to me now
There’s no time to spare
Futures are in my palm
Words cannot compare…
Apathy’s killing us
But all we do is stare
Apathy’s killing us
But we don’t seem to care
Your house is falling down
Well that’s a crying shame
And if your body is burning
Only yourself to blame…
Apathy’s killing us
But we don’t seem to care

Surrender
05:51
|
|||
The end is nearing
See the sun setting
Fear and doubt come creeping in
My body crumbles to sand
There’s no today, no tomorrow
Eons pass me by
Feel no joy, feel no sorrow
Peaceful oblivion
I surrender to the void
A bright light flashes
I reawaken
In a different time and place
A brand new world I can love
Here today, here tomorrow
Hours pass me by
Full of joy, full of sorrow
Restless consciousness
I surrender to the void
