Cranial Tyrant
04:11
|
|||
Twisting and turning regurgitate
Mental conflict impressions rotate
Sway then persuade me counterclockwise
Inane reason spoils of demise
Better to neglect hypocrisy
Than to accept catastrophe
Psychoanalyze intellectual divide
Cranial tyrant oppress and possess
Subliminal torment power you obsess

Telltale Crime
04:18
|
|||
Economy declines worldwide regression
Growing within never to recover
Stock market crash
Broker ends the fall
From the nineteenth floor
Trade wars, national debt producing
Paramount consequence
One system government
World domination omnipotent
(One for all) worldly wise
(All for one) telltale crime
Inflate, contaminate the system frail
Internal deficit compiles
Truth combust, propagate distrust
Driving in another nail
(One for all) worldly wise
(All for one) master mind

Prayers of a Dead Man
06:16
|
|||
At night I just stare amid my self-destructive toys
Shouting to the sky: is anyone up there
My eyes drip blood red
A vow once made I've come to dread
This shame, this guilt I bear, is killing me stone dead
Dead man
Something to regret a chance point in time we met
Caught in a momentary rush of devotion
My eyes drip blood red
A vow once made I've come to dread
This shame, this guilt I bear, is killing me stone dead
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
This dead man's prayer do not forsake
Pray dead man

Look deep into your eyes behold the burning flame
Sever unwanted ties within yourself detained
Emotional control revealing inner strength
Intensify
Vivid picture colorblind
Unexplainable decline
Sifting through alternatives
You antagonize
Organized insanity
More self-inflicted agony
Indecisive mind
Lobotomize
Faulty fires burning bright
Feeding mental parasite
Mediate between true reason
And invalid lie
Disregard your destiny
Embracing false humility
Infantile juvenile
Foolish genocide
Death and life intertwine

Enshrined
04:03
|
|||
For heresy lives were devastated
The name of God their penalty
Crusades geared for destruction
Millions paid for a perverted creed
White-washed relics enshrined
Stole the eyes from the blind
Thank God man's poor reflection of himself
In His image created; perplexion
The church imitated cannibalism
Man's attempt to reach God
Futile ploy restricts the rod
God's attempt to reach man
Death to life connecting strand
In ignorance lives were extricated
Retribution for their belief
Leaders schemed to dominate
Barbaric hunger for misery
"Stand by for further ..... tactical alert now for ...... sector"
"Wake up!"
"Why am I being destroyed?"
"Hello?"
"Go to hell!"

Course of Ruin
05:01
|
|||
As water casts a face the heart reflects the man
Reject your foolish pride before your soul is damned
Dominoes dancing in the dark
Perpetual collision stark
Piece by piece the sky will fall
As you stammer to a crawl
Through your strength you try to prevent
Total destruction imminent
Never believe your eyes a liar bears no shame
Reject your foolish pride or wear a cursed name
As glass reflects a face motive reveals the man
Reject your foolish pride before your soul is damned

Descend
05:29
|
|||
Descend
Portray an image of power and security
Foundations crumble at the base
Inner turmoil - Reflection read externally
Veil of lies attempts to hide our face
Descend
Molten masses
In their image we are formed
Art of deception mastered skillfully
Decay of value
Stifled cry of the unborn
With open eyes
We still refuse to see
Respond
Arise
Nation
Divided
Descend
Respond
Arise
Nation
Divided
Selfish syringe
Draining lifeblood from our veins
Pallid skin
Displays condition true
Struggling on
Oblivious to our own pain
Contented smiles
As we continue to
Descend

Deviate
05:06
|
|||
"Don't make me use this! One step closer, I'm warning you!"
"Flash, man"
"He shot, the guy shot"
Bone on bone flesh makes war on flesh
Mortal brothers strive against each others hatreds mesh
Thou shall not kill
Peace frozen still
Release your hate
Deviate
"Who's got the shotgun?"
Life expires blood cries from the earth
Innocent and guilty eyes behold our mortal curse
Thou shall not kill
Peace frozen still
Release your hate
Deviate

Pale Reflection
05:07
|
|||
"It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.
What can he do for you?
Can the maker repair me?
Would you like to be modified?
I had in mind something a little more adequate.
What seems to be the problem?
Death. Death? Well, I'm afraid
that's a little out of my jurisdiction you...
I want more life"
"It's too bad she won't live,
but then again, who does?"
"What about the question of nuclear weapons ... we are testing"
"A new hope for humanity. A new world"
"Time to die."

"Behave yourselves!"
"Honest to God."
"Help combat HIV the virus that can lead to aids."
"Don't bend when you feel like it."
"It's a kill'n I saw it!"
"I heard that."
"... excessive desire for pain."
"I don't want success."
"The thing that to me is the biggest .... of these politicians is that they will so lightly a position, and they'll do it to win an election."

Anger (burning)
Chaos (yearning)
Mental (atrophy!)
Subtle (liar)
Shallow (words)
Help me (to escape!)
I feel it (anger!)
Settle in my bones

Logic overthrown! (logic overthrown!)
Dwell in confusion
Harsh disillusion!

Growing within, never to recover
Stock market crash

Am I In Sync?

Am I in Sync?
Synthesizer rock ruled Jessica's feet
As a slave the that ubiquitous beat
Visions of the big screen danced in her head
'In a matter of time' she said
Jessie never got her Hollywood role
And the pogo nights have taken there toll
She can do the monkey off o' the cuff
But her mind had a missing link
Am I In Sync?
Paint a picture on a subway train
Carve my name in a video game
Am I In Sync?
Out looking for the camera crews
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news
Am I In Sync?
Live 'til the bubble pops
Hold my breath when the big one drops
Am I In Sync?
Immortality is what I'm buying
But I'd rather be immortal by not dying
Laboratory rats made Roger a fink
And the laws of science drove him to drink
Working for the taste of public acclaim
And a cure that bore his name
Nobel prizes would have been nice
But he lost his mind to renegade mice
Roger traded dreams of 'Man of the Year'
For an understanding shrink
Am I In Sync?
Paint a picture on a subway train
Carve my name in a video game
Am I In Sync?
Out looking for the camera crews
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news
Am I In Sync?
Live 'til the bubble pops
Hold my breath when the big one drops
Am I In Sync?
Immortality is what I'm buying
But I'd rather be immortal by not dying
Am I in Sync?
