Circus Of Fear
03:40
|
|||
Screen of lies
Disfiguring what you visualize
See with your own two eyes
Beneath the mourning cries
Obey the master of rings
For it is he decides the things
Of what will be will be
Controlling what you see
And when the earth is gone
A part of what you see
Perversions of the dead
Crawling maggots within your
Screams
Within my circus of fear
Screams
Within my circus of fear
Paying with their lives
To see with their own two eyes
As the events unfold
Believing what they're told
And when the earth is gone
A part from what you see
Within the screen of lies
What you visualize
Obey the master of rings
For it is he decides the things
Of what will be will be
Crawling maggots within your
Screams
Within my circus of fear
Screams
Within my circus of fear

Dead Flowers
04:16

The way you look at me
Reminds me of younger days
And the slipping of the parting waves
They only worship
Lies without a fear
The world doesn't understand
They seek to reprimand
I'm starting to feel what's going on
I can't tell what's going on
Whose
Whose dead flowers
The way she looked at me
Reminds me of younger days
And the slipping of the parting waves
They only worship
Lies without a fear
Whose
Whose dead flowers
Whose dead flowers
Whose dead flowers

Abstract Reaction
06:42
|
|||
They're jumping from buildings
And fall to the streets
It's just an abstraction
Can't you see?
Are you desensitized
An American sheep
They're praying in church
While the money burns at their feet
When warheads fly
Through the sky
Children are starving
While days turn to weeks
There's kids out there
With monkeys on their backs
When playing with fire
Do you just sit back
And relax
Do you?

When people are fighting
En Masse in your street
When it's all gone to far
And there's no turning back
When playing with fire
Do you just sit back
And relax
Do you?

Under The Volcano
04:38
|
|||
Have you ever been afraid of the world
And what it can do to you
Looking out through hardened eyes
At a world that hates you
So you realize
You're starting to hate it too
The stress is so thick
You're ready to snap
At least you're still sane enough
To see it coming
And you say to yourself
Somebody please help me
Crawl out from under the volcano
It feels like my heart is dying inside
If you could just hold it in your hands
You would see
How it's leaving me
As the loneliness sets in
I desperately cling to anyone's touch
It seems like it keeps on raining
When the sun's on full
All alone it's desperation
I hope my friends can forgive me
I'm desperately hoping for someone
To pull me out from under the volcano
Under the volcano

They say it's the music
Music in the rain
All these kids are dying
Take their own lives
Take their own lives
Take their own lives
Cause all the little boys and girls
Won't come out to play
And everyone's alone in the world
'Cause they won't come out to play
God, Death & Audiotape
God, Death & Audiotape
God, Death & Audiotape
Just take a trip down Matamoros Way
There's a friendly place where you can stay
Or maybe to Jonestown for a friendly little drink
What do you think?
What do you think?
Cause all the little boys and girls
Won't come out to play
And everyone's alone in the world
'Cause they won't come out to play

Swarm
04:51
|

Like a horde of maddened bees
Swarm like locusts spreading disease
An infectious sea
Swarming over you
Swarming over me
Life
Suffering
Death
A swarm so thick you can't breathe
SWARM
SWARM
SWARM
SWARM
The moon
The skies over foreign land
With our guns in hand
Ain't life grand?
Like a horde of maddened bees
Swarm like locusts spreading disease
An infectious sea
Swarming over you
Swarming over me
Life
Suffering
Death
A swarm so thick you can't breathe
SWARM
SWARM
SWARM

Little Ghosts
01:38
|
|||
There’s a place beyond LA
Where the dry desert winds blow
And the souls of children
Lie in the days
Where dreams should be simple
But reality gets in the way
And here if you listen closely
You can hear the little ghosts play
Little Deedrie was her name
Mommy was on methamphetamine
She was ready for Small World
Before the monsters came
She looked out the door
With her pretty eyes
And neatly combed hair
Nobody heard her scream
And no one even cared

Innocence Lost
03:15

Why don’t we cry anymore
Why can’t we admit that something’s wrong
Why can’t we just act normal
How much longer can this go on
Before we realize what we’re doing
Before we realize this is wrong
So I sent my soul on a new road
Cut my feet upon the ground
Sold my soul
Faded out with fear
And I
I’ve got lots of friends in the next room
Who kept feet above the ground
Why don’t we cry anymore
Why don’t we admit that something’s wrong
Why can’t we just act normal
How much longer can this go on
Before we realize what we’re doing
Before we realize this is wrong
So I set my soul on a new road
Cut my feet upon the ground
Sold my soul
Faded out with fear
And I
I’ve got lots of friends in the next room
Kept my feet above the ground

Man In The Moon
06:15
|
|||
You sound so tired these days
When the weight of the world
Sits on your shoulders
And it's awfully hard to keep
Keep your eyes open
So you look past the stars
Through the nightmare sky
And you wonder if it's true
Would things be any different
If there really was a man
A man in the moon
And the pressures so strong now
You just want to cry
But the tears you shed
Would just rust your eyes
And it's awfully hard to keep
Keep your eyes open
So you look past the stars
Through the nightmare sky
And you wonder if it's true
Would things be any different
If there really was a man
A man in the moon
