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?
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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  
8.
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
9.
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
