Judgement Day
04:27
|
|||
I think of all the pain left in the world
And evil deeds done in the name of good
Got no redemption
Consumption/destruction wheel
It helps if you don’t think or feel
There just won’t be another chance
And the days go unaware to whether
You count ‘em up, or count ‘em down
Or disregard ‘em
No, there is no orchestra
But if you wanted to hear a trumpet
Then one will play on Judgement Day
Where do you start when it gets so immense?
I want to feel bliss from something other than ignorance
All part of the problem, part of the disease
All guilty by small degrees

Colors of Hell
03:40
|
|||
And what’s inside, it’ll unfold
Awake from your dream
You will get up and walk
Come out from the cloth and the pigment
And be what you are
Down comes the rain, now we all look the same
Colors wash down the drain to the gutter
Down comes the rain, to wash out all the pain
From a world plagued with badges and borders
The rise and collapse of the old wave
Goodbye to the colors of hell
The world we grieve, it never was pure or perfect
But I still believe there’s more to us than we detect
Existing in the present moment
Is it all we have?

All in Good Time
03:43
|

Aloha, dinosaur
Bathe in tar
Meteor
One ends and one begins
It’s even
The sea will claim it all again
All in good time
All in good time
And so far, so bizarre
Somehow there must be more
Au revoir, shooting star
Live like you’re dying ‘cause you are
All in good time
All in good time
We all act out the same play
The truth is shorter than fiction
There ain’t nothing left to say
All aspiration undone

Modern Miracle
02:47
|
|||
Blue light shine in every home
To educate and entertain us
Wealthy, fat and comfortable
Distract, delude and insulate us
Dot on the screen
So ill, at ease
Step right up, it has begun
Witness a modern miracle!
Don’t get up, you’ll miss the fun
Don’t touch that dial!
A different kind of cannibal is emerging here in the west
Empty heart and empty skull
We’re amusing ourselves to death
Got us on our knees, yet we will break free
Step right up, it has begun
Witness a modern miracle!
Have you underneath our thumb
Don’t touch that dial ‘till we’re finished programming

Dark Matter Halo
03:27
|
|||
As your hair’s falling off you
Happy birthday from your friend, time
Feel the flies crawling on you
They just can’t wait for you to die
And the question that you’re going to ask is:
“Did it amount to anything?”
Dark Matter Halo
I rule the spaces in between
Are you maintaining control?
Are you wearing thin?
Get too close to a black hole, and you will get sucked in
And the question that you’re going to ask is:
“Do you believe what isn’t seen?”
Dark Matter Halo
I rule the spaces in between

The winds of changes are a-blowin’
A painful groan
A sick cologne
A single tone between the right and wrong
The preying hands of molestation will pray for your salvation
Your house falls apart
Broke foundation
Welcome to your purgatory
And you constructed it yourself
You’re living in the halfway houses of the holy
Sucking all of the glory, but all the shame you will dispel
Onto the flock of the adoring
And so many will die unknowing
The world that turned, the house they burned
They shake the urn that holds the dead horse ash
Whisper “lead not into temptation” to faithful congregation
You’re doing your part for creation
Can’t find your way back to the shores of Acheron
Service for pay, another whore of Babylon
Welcome to your purgatory!
And you constructed it yourself
You’re living in the halfway houses of the holy
Semper memento mori
‘cause there ain’t room enough in hell
And heaven is another story

Evolve Head-on
04:00
|
|||
I want to understand
I reach for a broader land
The long journey of man must travel forward
We’ll go on my command
You’ll feel your mind expand
Evolve beyond hatred, revenge or power
I hope the entire human race could be rendered intelligent
We haven’t much time to crack the old design
The barrier between flesh and spirit
Evolve head-on
Head-on
Heaven
The time is close at hand
We’ll reach the promised land
The tapestry of man, unravel forward
To be celebrated or be carbon dated
We’re making a new bed, arrange the flowers
I hope the entire human race can be rendered intelligent
We haven’t much time to subvert the paradigm
A new wolf emerging from wilderness

Lady Named Bright
04:17
|
|||
The trembling way is where it begins
The bridge between the earth and heavens
I wish upon a star
No matter where you are, I’ll go
Moments ago I saw you slumber
I could’ve sworn that you looked younger
The time is coming soon
The clock of the full moon is striking hour
There was a lady named Bright
Who traveled far faster than light
Swept out the door
Returned the night before
Your eyes say that the time is ending
Without a word, a light ascending
Beauty is beyond words
The bridge of three colors takes you away

Unfaithful Arms
03:05
|
|||
Faith, hope and larceny
Bend down on one knee
Not your wife, she’s compensation for an empty life
Helpless seduction
Sanction of the victim
Wear a mask for long enough, forget who is underneath
Carpet of gold or carpet bombs
Embrace the most unfaithful arms
All we need is a plausible face saying: “yours is no disgrace”
Is it a Faustian bargain - growing your profit margin -
As cubicles make daily graves of thousands?
Small pranks for big banks
Strange bedfellows always give thanks
When think tanks think, think tanks think: “tanks”
With her greasy palms and factory farms
Embrace the most unfaithful arms
Even as blood runs down on that face
We long for her embrace

Puppet Show
02:42
|
|||
Get your dominoes, put the dominoes in a row
Multi-national, corpo-rational, let ‘em go
Watch them fall
So expendable
Ducks are in a row
Ducks are in a row ‘round the globe
You’re the CEO, fat Pinocchio, let ‘em go
Watch them fall
It’s just a puppet show
‘Cause now the curtain’s closing and the lights are off
(Just a puppet show)
Time to put you back into your wooden box
(Jim Crow, John Doe, Joe Blow)
The unrestrained pursuit of self-interest-ing
(all you knead is dough)
The bulging eyes of puppets strangled by their strings
(Just a puppet show)

American Music
03:25
|
|||
Hello
Do you like to dance?
Do you wear designer pants?
The girls were drop dead gorgeous in Japan
When American music was dropped on them
See?
I told you it’s the bomb
You’ll twist and shout like Vietnam
Please tell me now that you believe in God
I’m a single with a bullet burning up the charts
And Kennedy felt just how intense it can get
When American music goes through your head
