Blindness From Above
03:14
|
|||
|
Set in motion
On a brand new day
And the cars are waiting
For the girl in grey
Who’s the one?
Who is the only one
Who came back to save us
From losing faith again?
I don’t really care
They talk to strangers
As she looks around
And sees flowers buried alive
And the dead Sun up above
Give her ten days in place where
She can’t get killed
By the hands of some God
Whom she knows is
The hell we’ve built
I don’t really care
Let us stay unconscious
For a day, a month
And when you open up
Your eyes, you will get it
There ain’t no place for the
Likes of you and me
The moon is awakened
by the light
Help me!
This blindness from above
Comes at me

Star-crossed
02:59
|

|
Star-crossed
Stars go where you are not
This heart is not where it belongs
With eyes bleeding
I'm leaving town
Angels underground
My god is on your side
All is lost
Don't let me fall
Don't listen to everyone's hearts
"I do want to end up alone"

Ex-Family
03:49
|
|||
|
A place in which to hide
From this unrequited love
You’re living deep inside
Someone who will not
Love you
Baby is in the womb
Mom is getting tired
Baby is coming soon
Hold your breath before they
take him out
Now
Bring him out into this world
And somehow
May he find out why he was born
Mother
would rather
have cancer
than me

Bye and Adios
05:28
|
|||
|
Amazingly
You took from me
All the joy
All my faith in love
The sky is here
The wind is near
The sunset, it won't be long
So glad you're gone
Glad you're wasting
Your time
Don't you ever come back again
I love you no more
What I want is what you lack
Don't look back
Just keep walking on
Keep an eye on the moon
As the stars fade away
Just say bye and adios
To the life you once knew
So glad you're gone
Glad you're wasting
Your time
Don't you ever come back again
So now you can cross me off your list

Ahura Mazda
04:55
|

|
I was born so that this
Disease could exist
I can see that there is
No need to resist
Cutting through my throat
As I spoke of love and hope
Machine gun suicide today
Foreplay and rape
For everyone you know
Way to Go
There’s blood inside
And it’s going right through
There’s blood outside
And it’s drowning me
This gun is mine
And these bullets are for you
Up in the sky
And I want to fall
Pray for this God
No one knows at all
There’s nothing I
There’s nothing I can do
There’s nothing I can do
I’m so sick of life too
It’s driving me insane yeah
It's causing all this damage
I’m calling all the spirits
To possess me, to possess me
Before I go too far
In this getaway car
Your time has come
Your time has come
Fair enough
Fair enough

From Saturn to Heaven
03:02
|
|||
|
I wish that I was far away
To let the silence call my name
The rain will come, the Sun will change
The crime we need, the love we hate
The rainbow comes to show the way
The agony revives in me
The day will come when all this pain
Is left behind, without a trace
“Please don’t let me stay
in this world of fate
Trust me there’s no love
Trust me there is no place
For me”
From Saturn To Heaven

No For An Answer
03:37
|
|||
|
I won’t take no for an answer
I won’t take no for an answer
The one and only
Decisively
The one to love
And my destiny
Is in need of your fate now
You disrespect
You disobey
You disregard
Your heart again
I won’t take no for an answer
I won’t take no for an answer
The wheel is turning
And I can see
that it won’t stop
Of all tragedies
Fortuna lay dead
You disrespect
You disobey
You disregard
Your heart again
I call out your name
And you just don’t look back
I call out your name
And you know that I scream for help
I call out your name and I’m told
You’re far away
So far away
I call out your name
And a ghost
Just fades
Away

Loch Ness Lovelessness
04:16
|

|
You don’t care for
What we want
You don’t care for
What we want
You pray
For the souls in the grave
In this maze
We blissfully run
Hey
What have you done?
Can I and Jesus Christ be that wrong?
My better half
For better or worse
You don’t get it
You don’t try to fall in love
You come my way
And then you say
“If only I could give you all the love you never had”
“Better luck next life after death”
Yeah
Hey
Loch Ness Lovelessness
Hey
Loch Ness Lovelessness
Now that I've found the love of my life
It's time I found someone else
Someone who will love me
And will never be as loved
as you were

I Was Found Dead
04:57
|
|||
|
Covered in blood
Next to a Sten Gun
In my bed I was found dead
Up on a mountain
Where eyes wish for darkness
Hanging I was found dead
Down by the river
Swollen and disfigured
Floating I was found dead
Working at the company
Breathing and nodding
At my desk I was found dead
No God waiting
Non-stop fading
Your life draining
All lights failing
No God waiting
Your life erased
No one wailing
Soul crime payment

Valkyries

In a ghost town, baby
In another life
On an altar, baby
You’ll be safe
For they all just seem so happy
As they wait in line
For a chance to see you
Drown
In a desert
You tried to help
And you got hurt (x2)
They are waiting by the cross
For a date to celebrate
2000 years from now
Transfixed by the star
of the morning
And the world does need this crime
Don’t tell me that you want them saved
Don’t tell me that you trust their minds
Don’t tell me that they are worth this pain
Because
They nail
They mourn
And they crown
You tried to help
And you got hurt (x2)

When If Ever
03:39
|
|||
|
When, When If Ever
Will you come back
And say you remember
All the things that I said
The love and the rapture
The grace that we shared
When, when if ever
Will you come back?
London is on her knees
Paris says please
And Islamabad
Has silenced all the bombs
Rome is out of sleep
Any place longs to be (they all want to be)
Home to all your love for me

Alice ∩ John
03:30
|
|||
|
What is wrong
with Alice and John?
They ceased to smile
and they barely talk
Destroyed, denied, deprived
deflected, deplored
Jesus Christ being nailed to the cross
like never before

The Ghost Transparency
04:38
|
|||
|
When heaven sends its gangsters
To this long gone town
They sail through ghost transparency
They go looking for souls and sins
They're faces I can't remember
They're lost thorns on crowns
They're servants of all the tragedies
They say good night throughout the day
And they sow what I should reap
And destroy what I would be
And they take what is mine to keep
Just in case there is life in me
