Big Business
06:02

|

Every day lasts too damn long
When your head is on the ground
Keep your ear to the floor
And listen for the sound
Thunder is approaching
A rain to wipe this earth clean
All you know will not remain
If you know what I mean
Callous and cruel this confinement
You've settled in well
All your words are not your own
When you're living in hell
I can't see my hands
Because I've clawed out my eyes
So I never have to know
Never have to wonder why
Where we are going
You won't need eyes to see
Big business is coming
Now who are you gonna be?

Off the Rails
04:07
|
|
||
Dust in the wind is all I’ll ever be
But I’m not complaining, at least I’m living free
Weight of the world rests easy on my back
Free from my burden and off the beaten track
I feel at last I know what it could mean to be my own
Off the rails, no turning back
If I should fall and footsteps failing fade to black
I know I’ll die with head held high
My conscience clean and all integrity intact
No cage can contain me, no prison bar withstand
No chains shall restrain me, no cuff shall stay my hand

Promised Land
03:29
|
|
||
The rain comes down in droves
And lightning cracks the air
I stand intoxicated here
Beckoning the end
I was always told that I would burn in hell
Now I find myself king of all I behold
Embrace the darkness and take my hand
You’ve never been so far from the promised land
(/This can all be yours, my son, this is the promised land)
Fire reaches up to me
I feel no pain or fear
The earth collapses to itself
My reckoning is near
Corrupted and forsaken souls
Rise to claim their land
I welcome them into my home
I built with my own hands

The Devil Don't Change
04:58
|
|
||
The skies are dark as clouds roll in
Waiting for the end to begin
The devil don’t change, neither do we
They always told me “be all you can be”
The devil don’t change, neither do I
I’ll always be here like the morning sky
The world moves on, I'll still be here
Smoking cigarettes and drinking beer
I signed a contract to give my life away
Now the time has come there’s nothing more to say
Drank a lot of whiskey, I’ve walked a lot of miles
Smoked a lot of cigarettes, I’ve killed a lot of smiles
The devil don’t change, neither do I
I’ll always be here like the morning sky
If I’ve learned one thing from my years on this earth
You gotta live life early before the devil learns what it’s worth

Cut the Ribbon
04:34
|
|
||
I have shown myself
Proof of what can be
Fresh faced and bright eyed
So full of life
I cut the ribbon and find myself
Standing amongst the trees
A feast of knowledge is at my feet
So I consume all I need
I have found myself
Proof of what will be
Bearded face, bloodshot eyes
Existing only for the night
I have lost myself
Amongst the trees
Bearded face, weary eyes
Living out what’s left of life
I take the hit and find myself
Floating above the trees
Reflecting my new surroundings
So I consume all within reach

The Dregs
05:35
|
|
||
I’ve seen all of this city
Seen the rain as it falls
One thing always keeps me
On my knees as I fall
And if time could teach me
The way to find home
I could stay here forever
On my knees as I fall again
And I drain away
All that I know
As the sky
Feeds me anew
I walk tall
Among people I never knew
Taking all I ever wanted
Digging roots of my own
Take me home
All I had and all I knew
Have been shown to be wrong
So I welcome the morning sun
Life returns to move me on

Witch Hunt
04:08
|
|
||
I had a dream that it would come to this
Demon temptress, cold deathly kiss
Her wicked eyes, her broken smile
Her whispered words of black insight
Into the blackest night we will thunder
Torches blaze, burning life asunder
This is a witch hunt
This is a witch hunt
Take up your rope and tie the noose tight
Let's have a death tonight
I never dreamed that it would come to this
Demon temptress meets fire's deadly kiss
Her wicked eyes, her broken smile
This night the sun will never rise
Watch as our holy work flickers in the midnight air
Drenched in glory, only never fair
This is a witch hunt
This is a witch hunt
Thou shalt not suffer, until you feel our gaze
Let's have another death tonight

Bloodclot
04:17
|
|

Listen for the words of those who know
And be informed of who we are
Their polished truths and silver tongue
They’re guiding us to war
Gazing at the faces of those who stand beside me
Smoke and mirrors cut through purple haze
I can’t read emotions so easily anymore
This strange mist shrouds in so many ways
Waiting for the words of he who speaks
Their eyes turned to his face
Glistening with tears of desperate expectation
Words to end worlds, we can never read

A Whole World Burns
05:29
|
|
||
The seed of jealousy is sown
I cannot resist its cry
Shrill in my mind it grows
A pitch to crack the skies
Slowly the fire burns
As passion wanes thin
A calm exhale of breath
Our time will draw in
Ill temptation circles overhead
A vulture picks its time
To drag you to his bed
My fear overtakes my will
Swept into the flood
Old trappings hold sway still
The tides calm their waves
I wait in silence
The fool in my mind relates
My fears retreat within
Your intention may be pure
But the mind can create
Such terrible shapes in the dark
Twisting truth beyond what's right
Ill temptation circles overhead
A vulture picks its time
To drag you to his bed
I wait in silent protest
For all to become clear
Only then do I understand my mistake
Rain settles on cold ground
With all our words finally said
Alone here I listen to the sound
Too little too late to make amends
Too little too late and our whole world burns
