lord, save me from my own eagerness
can't you give me just an anchor to hold?
feeling like a lemur looking for my next abyss
doesn't agony ever get old?
dreams of time, creating circumstances
river of wine, rain down on romances
lord, grant me just a taste of consciousness
so as not to stumble blindly through life
slaying dragons isn't close to where i'm at
dark telly and a severed provide
stained and sore, awaiting invitations
crime is more than echoed intimations
fall loudly like a rock from the castle wall
make sure the neighbors know who you are
hide? fine, and in the end it's still a game
no winner, just the losers survive
bruise my pride, all for small compenses
easiest ride, i'll just roll on by
lord, help me not to fuck up this time
send an angel down to kickstart my brain
warm people and a nicely ends in life
may counteract the triumph of pain
sitting chair, howling deities
many years... have i learned anything?

Dark Bastard
03:12
|
|

dark bastard flies tonight
on the wheels of the glass delight
hold hands avert your eyes
little kids shouldn't see these sights
nothing left to melt
fires consumed my hell
days still marching by
no reason to survive
penned in hogs are tied
by the willow branch divide
little pink where the mountain's side
move along to the boring ride
strong stuff
one way
maybe time's on a holiday
long day
blow away
makin' motion afloat on the waves
i'm feeling nothing
hey, you're not the one to bring
my hope and night will close all the blinds
my eyes tight and red tonight
god bless our poorer slights
sit still in a house afire
walls falling, flames consuming
flesh melting off my bones
nothing left to melt
fires consumed my hell
days still marching by
no reason to survive
101 reaching for divide
jefferson setting out the ride
no black left to burn my lungs
wild turkey on my tongue
strong stuff
one way
maybe time's on a holiday
long day
blow away
makin' motion afloat on the waves
i'm feeling nothing
hey, you're not the one to bring
my hope and night will close all the blinds
my eyes tight and red tonight

Walking Through The Snow
02:49
|
|
||
i wish there were mountains in the distance
that i could walk up to and ask them where to find
the place to which i've walked these many miles
pleasures and the trials...
in my mind i'm walking through the snow, could it be
at last i've found some warmth here in the cold?
years are falling down around my shoes
hold on tight or lose...
angel in the snow, you seem an empty vessel, waiting to be whole
and when the snow begins again, i'm afraid you will disappear...
years are falling down around my shoes
you hold on tight or lose
snow will melt again
illusion of an end

Drop The Hammer
01:56
|
|
||
heads rolling all around me, no chance to clear my name
wire walking and entinguish the fuse, no time to lose my cool
drop the hammer! oi oi oi oi
drop the hammer! oi oi oi oi
drop the hammer! oi oi oi oi
grey hatchet-man comin' down again
act like you never saw it, it never happened, man
don't you get sucked into it, you're going under the bus
drop the hammer! oi oi oi oi
drop the hammer! oi oi oi oi
drop the hammer! oi oi oi oi
grey hatchet-man comin' down again
fly away, far away
get away from mistakes we've made
it takes much more than we've made to make the grade

Dream World
03:41
|
|
||
i lay back and i close my eyes and i split apart from the earth and sky and i
got a world i can reign and control and each time i come leave a little soul behind
got a vista inside my head i got kings and queens and perfect life and i
don't wanna return to this one full of jobs and bills and everyone
dreaming, or is it real?
can't explain how i feel
creating a new world
meek would be so proud...
i don't wanna be king of my world, just to sit on back and to watch it all unfold
catnaps on a park bench might be the thing to get me through another day
fat jowls get out of my face, can't you see i belong in a better place than this?
smoked eyes and satin robes i got princesses and a world of my own
dreaming, or is it real?
can't explain how i feel
creating a new world
meek would be so proud...
i am the chosen one, i'll see your world undone
i hold reality in my hand, you're not able to understand my aims
i create and i destroy, at my will, at my will
don't get in my way, i hold this world in my hands
wake up when i close my eyes to a newborn earth and a crystal sky and i
rule every blade of grass i don't need no dope i don't need no hash
got power like blood in my veins i'm an addict now and i need my reign
you'll live in my world as i like, you've got no choice, it's all my desire
dreaming, or is it real?
can't explain how i feel
creating a new world
meek would be so proud...

Blood
02:50
|
|
||
doors locked, blood flows
the ceremony has begun
wash clean your hands in the blood of the lamb
blood rain, blood lust
a herd of cattle squeal
raise your hands and be free
there stands the man of god, screaming, pointing
judge not lest ye be judged
free me from ignorance
and lack of common sense
save me from all this blood
you got to find your own way through the flood
life's not for lack of thought
to buy just what others bought
look deep inside and see
what there's supposed to be

Out of Mind
03:08
|
|
||
doin' time, drinkin' wine
who the hell do you think i am?
pass the bottle, fuck the glass
don't make me kick your ass
riding high like a comet down a dusty road
let 'em see my cloud unfold
raise your guitar! slam your fist!
nothin's free, we're takin' this!
out of sight, out of mind
shootin' whiskey and chuggin' wine
come at me like you're gonna take me son
i'm been fightin' since the world begun
fuck your mother, eat her shit
are you understandin' this?
pour the Jameson right down your fucking throat follow fast with a shot of cuervo
stop your puking you little girl
spend the night face down in your hurl
out of sight, out of mind
shootin' whiskey and chuggin' wine
am i wrong?
is it me?
should i stop my retreat from reality?
if i die?
what then?
what happens to me when i don't believe in heaven?
pop the tab on another high life
pass the bowl and pass your wife
another glass always seems like a good idea
when you've got a bottle under your belt
who gives a fuck when my sick heart finally gives out
gotta beat my head against the wall
bloody knuckles, no control
you better stay outta my way before i get evil

The Path
02:39
|
|
||
skipping stones on a blood-red shallow stream
as the leaves of the past fall down on me
heavy eyes and a mindset full of dreams
hitch my pack and i'm back to the path it seems
i stop to raise my hand to a man in the distance
he echoes my gesture, becomes emotionally invested
feel the rocks and the dust underneath my boots
quite a new sensation, the absence of roots
never one to rehearse my apologies
lift my arms to the sky, bow my head to the trees
a sharp cold foreign wind winds tactile thru my tresses
murmur words to the earth and sky, reach beyond my feeble senses
world in blood, circle of life
turn your eye from the past at your own peril
the dying leaf going out in a glory blaze
got a constant reaction on my face
heavy eyes and a mindset full of dreams
hitch my pack and i'm back to the path it seems
who will we ask for help when the gods are getting younger
who will walk the streets of paris with lightning on his shoulder
we'll climb the tree of life and left hanging from its branches
the day will turn to night with some fleeting backwards glances
the certainty of time is at the mercy and whim of tangibility
the leaf i hold in my hand is of everlasting impermanence

Hues and Blues
04:19
|
|
||
sunrise don't mean much to me
when i still can't get to sleep
it's a mirror to sunset's colors
that began my long night alone
i've got an orange face keeping my head warm
and it wouldn't be too much to say, i take it all too hard
light on a front porch, keeping out the dark
were you ever the strongest one or were you caught off guard?
now all the world's a little darker...
now the years all drift away
where i sit by my riverside
and the lives that pass too quickly
and the spirits that just won't die
and there's an orange heart keeping my chin up
and sometimes it's just too hard to say, i miss you when you're gone
