Stand Your Ground
04:26

I feel so old today
The time's led us astray
This shroud of memory
What's left for you and me?
They promise better days
How soon they turn away
We're in a dire state
The words don't resonate
The fading will to fight
The dying of the light
This anguish in our hearts
Our whole world's come apart
This longing that we feel
Is truth no longer real?
Blind eyes are all I see
This plastic society
Oh, a fleeting melody
Out of a fading dream
Embers raining sky
Nightmare waking eye
A fleeting melody
Out of a fading dream
Stand your ground
Stand your ground
A fleeting melody
Out of a fading dream
Stand your ground
Stand your ground

We Belong Nowhere
03:22
|
|||
|
Bygone tomorrows fading
All that we knew has changed
No more ground to go to
Your heart aches and it feels so strange
Displaced by wheels of progress
Frayed edge of society torn
Like autumn leaves we're scattered
I don't know this place anymore
And we, we belong nowhere
We, we belong nowhere
We, we belong nowhere
We can never go back again
But let's not get sentimental
The big dollar rules of all
Rise up, the cold steel skyline
Kinder gentler wrecking ball
Gleaming tower stands empty
In the doorways the broken sleep
We walk past, pretend not to notice
'Cause we've got our appointments to keep
And we, we belong nowhere
We, we belong nowhere
We, we belong nowhere
We can never go back again
We, we belong nowhere
We, we belong nowhere
We, we belong nowhere
We can never go back again
Again
Again...

Bear Witness
04:33
|
|||
|
Citizens of a dying empire
Tell me, how lucky are we
We were chosen to bear witness
To the collapse of our society
For the lies, they shall rise
Never ever compromise
Soup kitchen lines are growing
While bull market profits rise
Bear witness to the fall
The ending of it all
Bear witness to the fall
Bear witness, witness, to the fall
Debates in the halls of power
They pass the buck and point the blame
They heap riches on our betters
While the world goes up in flames
Judgment day, we shall pay
Rich man pays his sins away
See the vicar dine with Judas
Salvation is so far away
Bear witness to the fall
The ending of it all
Bear witness to the fall
Bear witness, witness, to the fall
Bear witness to the fall
The ending of it all
Bear witness to the fall
Bear witness, witness, to the fall
It’s not enough to say we care
It’s not enough to stand and stare
So muster all you've got within
We can’t let the bastards win
For we all live and we all die
Under the same moon sun and sky
We’ve got to get out on the line
We’re running out of time

Thy Will Be Done
04:19
|
|||
|
I say a prayer in the dark
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
The tinderbox meets its spark
Avenging angel has come
Stand at the end of the age
To turn around it's too late
And while we bicker and rage
The enemy's at the gates
God won't save us from ourselves
God won't save us from ourselves
We think that we're so evolved
And yet it's always the same
Murder and rape sanctified
Atrocities in God's name
Now our intentions are pure
Driven by faith, scorn, and greed
And now our victory's assured
March forth to make the world bleed
God won't save us from ourselves
God won't save us from ourselves

The lies we tell the world
The lies we tell ourselves
The daily masquerade
Twisted games that we play
You shut the door
Stumble to the floor
You’ll open your heart no more
Human condition is terminal
The years I lost away
My own self I betrayed
I’d lost all will to fight
With not a trace in sight
To my fate resigned
Just leave me behind
In a cell of my design
Human condition is terminal
And death shall call for thee
And yet this life could be beautiful
If you just let it be
When your own self you betray
Leave your demons out to play
The abuse hurts just as sure
The harm is still incurred
But I called for help
She saved me from myself
Brought my poor heart back to health
Human condition is terminal
And death shall call for thee
And yet this life could be beautiful
If you just let it be
Human condition is terminal
And death shall call for thee
But we can live before we die
What will you choose to be?

Just Let Go
03:25
|
|||
|
In the dead of night you curse my name
By the morning light do you feel the same
Just let go - no fond farewells
Just let go - I wish you well
But keep your strange delusions to yourself
To yourself...
It seems that you've got your truth, well I've got mine
Nevermore these paths shall intertwine
Do you dream of me when you lay in your bed
I've got a place to crash rent-free in your head
Just let go
Just let go
Just let go
Just let go - no fond farewells
Just let go - I wish you well
But keep your strange delusions to yourself
Just let go - no fond farewells
Just let go - guess I'll see you in hell
But keep your strange delusions to yourself
To yourself

You starved yourself for seventeen
Made yourself a vision of fantasy
Cinderella of the Bal Caribe
Dark seductress of the tiny screen
You couldn’t fight their power
They stole away your dream
Out in the witching hour
I can still hear your screams
Oh Maila
Vampira
Rapier wit and razor blades
Femme fatale, the role you played
Every man would be your fool
Undead late night glamour ghoul
She approaches through the spectral mist
Blood red lips with a poison kiss
But in the end, everything was lost
You fought the power and you paid the cost
They took it all from you
Another in your place
You never got your due
Replaced by a younger face
Oh Maila
Vampira
Oh Maila
Vampira, whoa-oa
Lost in obscurity
You couldn’t see it through
Outrageous travesty
We shall remember you
They took it all from you
Another in your place
You never got your due
Replaced by a younger face
Oh Maila
Vampira
Oh Maila
Vampira, whoa-oa

Forever?
04:30
|

Heaven help us
The time’s been so unkind
In our heads we’re living
Just lock the door behind
We’re disillusioned
Around and round we go
In gilded cages screaming
Our suffocation’s slow
Will it be like this forever?
Will I see you again? (The walls are closing in)
Someday will we come together
Will you recognize me then?
Sunrise east, sunset west
Every day just like the last
Paranoia loves a void
I feel I’m fading fast
Every night I’m dreaming
You’ve gone across the sea
I don’t know how to reach you
So scared of what’s to be
Will it be like this forever?
Will I see you again? (The walls are closing in)
Someday will we come together
Will you recognize me then?
Will it be like this forever?
Will I see you again? (The walls are closing in)
Someday will we come together
Will you recognize me then?

All Shall Fall
05:22
|

|
Must this be so
My fading light
Thoughts overflow
With the twilight
Red weary eyes
But sleep just won’t come
Can’t bear to face
Tomorrow’s sun
Please don’t take it all away
I’d give it all for one more day
Splinter of hope
Tear at my soul
I can’t accept
What's beyond my control
Message is there but I
Can’t bear to read
I’m not prepared
Forever bleed
Please don’t take it all away
I’d give it all for one more day
Still so much I need to say
Please don’t go, just one more day
ALL THAT WE LOVE IN THIS WORLD ALL SHALL FALL

Requiem
04:21
|
|||
|
The birds still sing
The skies are blue
The cool bay breeze
In spite of the loss of you
We're heading home
Past the park where we used to play
I feel so alone
This is your ascension day
They're countless
The gifts you gave to me
And even though the sorrows flow
We'll carry your melody
If there's a heaven
You'd be there at your parents' side
Telling your stories
They'd be beaming with such pride
My aching heart
Soul is sinking right down to the floor
My dear, depart
Your bells shall ring no more
Regardless
I cherish your memory
Onward we go, we love you so
We'll carry your melody

It Will Come To You LP

Slaves is my favorite song, although Crosses comes at such a close second... this LP and acts of worship I both need to own in some sort of physical copy one day, they're so good at expressing emotions I didn't even know I felt...
