Empty Walls

Your empty walls...
Your empty walls...

Pretentious attention
Dismissive apprehension
Don't waste your time, on coffins today
When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
to see
From behind those empty walls

Those empty walls

When we decline, from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time, on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
to see
From behind those empty walls
Want you
to be
Left behind those empty walls
I taught you
to see
From behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I loved you yesterday before
You killed my family

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

Don't you see their bodies burning?
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you
To be
Left behind those empty walls
taunt you
to see
From behind those empty walls
Want you to be, left behind those empty walls
I taught you
to see
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
Those walls...
Those walls...

The Unthinking Majority

We don't need your democracy.
Execute them kindly for me.
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggie hostels.

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

Money

Money,
All for money,
Save your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Keep your money
All for money,

Waning patience
People’s appetite
Disposition
This possession
Dispossessed from all
The attractions,
Dancing bears of eroticism,
Self absorbed delusion
Inclusion of dysfunction,
I now await the triumphant
Lost baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my
Mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny
Of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,

My final surrender
Away from inclusion
I now await the triumphant,
Left baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my
Mandatory down,
The causes of my
Servitude
Can be traced to the
Tyranny of a down,
The causes of
Ineptitude
Can be traced to my
Mandatory down,
The causes of my
Servitude
Can be traced to the
Tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,
Money, money,
Money, money.

Feed Us

Maybe we believe
She was ready to go
In the morning light
Maybe you believe
That she was made of gold

In the east where you killed her
You lead us
When you need to feed us
You comfortably delete us
When you need your fetus,

You cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Stars look out,

Goodbye, goodbye,

She speaks unrehearsed
Languages from skin
In the morning light
Painting shadows on the
Faces of the dead
In front of their widows

You cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Before it's too late,

Do you know that life is ending,
As we go, the dots connecting,
We had our chance to save the garden,
As it dies, our souls will harden,
With these words chastising
Your conscience
We're breaking through and
Praying for transcendence.

But you deceived us all now,

You cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Stars look out,
Cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you
Feed us with the lie,
Stars look out.

Saving Us

Why do we sit around and break each other's hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around the issues 'till the morning light?
When we sit and talk and tear each other's lives apart.
You were the one to tell me go...

But you were the one for me,
And now you're going through the door,
When you take that step I love you baby more and more,
We need to laugh and sing and cry and warm each other's hearts tonight,
Observing the fun of everything and loving all of mother god...

Tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
You're breaking us,
You're killing us,
killing us,
You're saving us,
You're saving us...

You're tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
Breaking us,
You're killing us,
Killing us,
You're saving us...

Why do we sit around and break each other's hearts tonight?
Why do we dance around the issues 'till the morning light?
When we sit and talk and tear each other's lives apart.
You were the one to tell me go...

But you were the one for me,
And now you're going through the door,
When you take that step I love you baby more and more,
We need to laugh and sing and cry and warm each other's hearts tonight,
Observing the fun of everything and loving all of mother god...


Tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
You're breaking us,
You're killing us,
Killing us,
You're saving us,
You're saving us...

You're tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
You're breaking us,
You're killing us,
Killing us,
You're saving us...

Ohhhhh...

Ohhhhh...

Forever alive,
Forever alive,

Forever alive,
Forever alive,
Forever,
Never and ever again...

You're tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
You're breaking us,
You're killing us,
Killing us,
You're saving us,
You're saving us...

You're tearing us,
You're tearing us,
You're breaking us,
Breaking us,

You're killing us,
Killing us,
You're saving us,

Forever alive,
Forever alive,
Forever,
Forever...

Forever alive,
Forever alive,
Forever,
Never and ever again.

Sky is Over

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,

Don't you want to hold me baby
Disappointed, going crazy,

Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The Sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over,

Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion

Has been known to
Wreck economies
Of countries, of empires,
The sky is over,

Don't you want to
Hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun,
Don't you want me to run,

Even though you can't afford
The Sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over
I don't want to see you go
The Sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over,
I don't want to see you go
The Sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over,
I don't want to see you go
The Sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The Sky is over,
The sky is over us.

Baby


You came to me within a dream
Not everyone is who they seem,
All these words we cant redeem,
Like the great magic of our world,
Corroborated by your words,
Splitting planets into thirds.

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

To all the leaves that fall in vain,
While god and goddess go insane,
All these words in your domain,
The watches kill time as the books read,
Inadvertently we bleed
Fighting for what we deceive,

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

Leave me alone,
Leave me alone,
Now why can't you see that you always
perturb me so
Nearing the end of the world, just leave me
alone,
Leave me alone
Why can't you see that you always perturb me
so
Nearing the end of the world, leave me alone,
Leave me alone.

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

Honking Antelope

Why don't you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Indigenous traces, tribal chiefs,
Vanishing hereditary lines,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Nature based beings will survive
Apocalyptic days of now,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now,
My life,

We are the cause of a world that´s gone wrong,
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

Why don't you go and photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now,
My love,

We are the cause of a world that´s gone wrong,
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

We are the cause of a world that´s gone wrong,
Wouldn't it be great to heal the world
With only a song.

Lie Lie Lie

My baby, my baby,
Let me know
Because you love me, you love me
Let me go
And you're my lover, you pay me
Twice my size
And on your knees
You lay in my thighs,

Take my hand an let's end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and let's end it all,

My baby, my baby
Let me go,
And if you love me, you love me,
Let me go,
Cause I'm your brother, your brother,
Have some pride,
And now you love me, you love me
Then die tonight

Take my hand an let's end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Take my hand an let's end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
And while she fell I delightfully said,

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

She took my hand and I let her go
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Took my hand and she ended it all,
Broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
And while she fell, I smiled.

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

Come lay it down, won’t you,
Come burn it down, can’t you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Come lay it down, won’t you,
Come burn it down, can’t you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don’t know what this love is all about,

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the lord and pass the ammunition,
Life affirming and our spritual trust

Lay it down, won’t you,
Come burn it down, can’t you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground.

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don’t know what this love is all about,

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the lord and pass the ammunition,
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the lord and pass the ammunition,

Buddha, Mohammad and the Hindu
Lost 100
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the lord and pass the ammunition,
People still ask when will Armageddon begin,

Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,

Nlelith is a prophet,
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don’t know what this love is all about,

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the lord and pass the ammunition,
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the lord and pass the ammunition,

Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove
Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove
We want to go where no one´s been
No one´s been

Come lay it down, won’t you,
Come burn it down, can’t you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground,
Won’t you.

Beethoven´s C***

Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed him to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in me,

I've been walking through these dead farms,
But I don't mind,
I've been screaming through these dead lungs,
But I can't find,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed him to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe, in me,

But lately I've been blind
You leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in nothing,

But lately I've been blind
Leave me all alone, left in time.

Elect the Dead

Arms are raised above the sky,
But all I want is me...

You are there beside the night,
But all I want is me,
All I want is me...

Love we know,
Comes from inside,
But all I want is me,
All I want is me...

Death we know,
Come to us alive,
But all I want is you...

Death we know,
Comes to all of us alive,
But all I want is you,
All I need is you,
All I want...

Blue

I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you Girl
I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you Girl

I don't see nothing but pain and misery,
cause you are the one for me
Why can't it all be true?
Can I escape with my blue fallen reverie?
Why can't it all be true?
Why can't it all be true?
Can't it all be true...

I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you Girl
I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you Girl

Suddenly, I believe you are the one for me
Graciously you move through my
closed hearts artery
Can I escape with my blue fallen reverie?
Why can't it all be true?
Why can't it all be true?

Suddenly, I believe you are the one for me
Graciously you move through my
closed hearts artery
Can I escape with my blue fallen reverie?
Why can't it all be true?
Why can't it all be true?

wishin' and wishin' away at you Girl
wishin' and wishin' away at you Girl...

Falling Stars

Please raise your child today
The way that you were born to play
The way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shatter fears

Pain, your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain

Please raise your child today
The way that you were told to play
The way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shatters fears

Pain, your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain

In an arrested silence (In an arrested silence),
We plead to our insane gods (We
plead to our insane gods),
And their voices in our heads
(Their voices in our heads),
Like the silence in the woods,
To stop appeasing man
And his cruel culture of global
economic domination (domination).
The balance remains between
That which is sought by the
few (WEAPONS!), PROFIT,
And that which is sought by the
most, PEACE (Oh, peace).

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain every night

I can’t believe that you wanted
me so much pain, every
