01. DISOWNED INC.
I can feel you far away
Your hesitation matching mine
Sadness left me far away
Your contemplation turned to wine
An old man stares at me
In mutual bizarre reverie
Laugh at thy neighbor, pretend you are sane
Just the same, you survived in vain
Laugh at thy neighbor, pretend you are sane
Just the same, you survived in vain
Time is the father of existence
Rhyme, the brother of resistance
Broken down by men in their crazy minds~
Void is the mother of unknown distance
Will, the sister of persistence
Stripping under the elusive sky~
The potion of devotion
Euphoric scriptures of the ocean
Laugh at thy neighbor, pretend you are sane
Just the same, you survived in vain
Time is the father of existence
Rhyme, the brother of resistance
Broken down by men in their crazy minds~
Void is the mother of unknown distance
Will, the sister of persistence
Stripping under the elusive sky~
I felt so alone
Till you came into my life and stopped the pain
I felt, so alone
Then you came into my life and poured the rain
I feel, so alone
Dressed in the dark silk clothing of your own disdain
I feel so disowned
Since your children took up arms in your own name
God's name's different in every language
God's name's different in every language
Imposed illusion composed dissolution
God's name's different in every language
Imposed illusion composed dissolution
God's name's different in every language
02. BORDERS ARE...
Never let you go ...
Borders are, the gallows
Of our collective national egos
Subjective, lines in sand
In the water separating everything
Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions
Here's my song, for the free
No, it's not about brazen publicity
Corprotocracy, what a hypocrisy
Aristocracy versus democracy
Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions
The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the water rise we're merely covering our feet
I'll never let you go ... never let you go ...
I'll never let you go ... never let you go ...
Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions
Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions
The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the water rise we're merely covering our feet
Your gods are dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the water rise we're merely cowering in defeat
I'll never let you go ... never let you go ...
I'll never let you go ... never let you go ...
03. DESERVING?
I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time
I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time
I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we're achieved a love that we, we can see
I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time
I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we're achieved a love that we, we can see
For, I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we're achieved a love that we, we can see
So go find your path, take me with you
I will make sure no one hurts you
I need your ways, we deserve it
We'll depend on our love here we
Go find your path, take me with you
I will make sure no one hurts you
I need your ways, we deserve it
We'll depend on our love here we GO!!!!
Here we go
You know, you know
For, I believe that you and me
We're achieved a love we can see
My love
04. BEATUS
Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul
Memories connect them all to her
Have I lost you again, possibly amidst forever
The strong winds have shaken me inside
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, I feel you
You've become my addiction
My mental preoccupied obsession
To hear your voice I extend toward the sun
Eating makes me think of you
This city has become your face
Strangling myself in my silence
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)
I feel it ... I feel it ... I feel it ...
Have I lost you again, with the possibility of forever
The strong winds have shaken me inside
The sun barely giving of herself
I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
Lock this before it's gone
Winds have shaken me inside
The sun barely giving of herself
I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
Lock this before it's gone
The collaboration and association
Hear the story of another woman in time
Giving permission for buying a gift
For the bearer of the selfish ...
(When you touch me)
Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul
Memories connect them all to her
Eating makes me think of you
This city has become your face
Strangling myself in my silence
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)
I feel it ... when you touch me ...
05. RECONSTRUCTIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
They say women cry when walls retire
Thay say that men die when laws retire, when laws retire
Unconventional deconstructive conversations
(Teach us how to eat)
I, will never let you go
Conversational reconstructive demonstrations
(Teach us how to speak)
Why, confess the final blow
Teach us how to eat from your broken hands
'Cause nothing seems to grow
Teach us how to speak, the language of your only dreams
No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
I forgot to pray; you forgot to say please
(Kill me), I, never let you go
I forgot to go; you forgot to know me
(Teach us how to speak), why confess the final blow
Teach us how to eat from your broken hands
'Cause nothing seems to grow
Teach us how to speak, the language of your only dreams
No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
Blindness serves not God nor man
So we are falling into disease
I'm falling into disease
I'm falling ... we're falling ...
Into ... into disease ... disease, disease ...
We've fallen
No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
Blindness serves not God nor man
So we are falling into disease
Disease
06. ELECTRON
We follow the ever-falling rain
Electrons Protons fight again
So, we run
We follow the ever-rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then, we fly
We fly in our dreams ever so bold
Swimming the seas covered with gold
Behold, proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the gods
Amidst the time of men at odds
See, believe!
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright
Grapevines of thoughts lining the skies
Ovewhelmingly of demise
So, we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life force
Then, we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I-Ching
With the spirit that moves through all things
Now, we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be the way to survive
Life, released
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Tell me, what it is that we believe
The storm shines bright
Storm shines bright, storm shines bright
So bright
07. GATE 21
The love that you bring
You bring me along
The pain that you give
It gives me a home
Do you want to stay by my side
Do you want me to turn and hide
We are disappearing inside
Seeing pictures of our, goodbyes
When we, we believe
That our love will survive
The pain that you bring
It brings me all alone
Do you love me, do you hate me
Do you want to believe me
Do you think, that you don't need me
Do you want to deceive me
I can't think that it's all over
Don't want to forget
I can't live this disappointment down
I want to repress your
Goodbye, Goodbye
The design, we broke the mold
The dreams when you see
That goodbyes aren't for long
Please follow me
To the borders of destiny
I don't want to break from your side
The falling ground screams goodbye
Please follow me
To the borders of destiny
I don't want to break from your side
The falling ground screams goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
The design, we broke the mold
The dreams when you see
That goodbyes aren't for long
08. YES, IT'S GENOCIDE
I want to die for your (plural) terror
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your death
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your death
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your death
I want to die for your life
I want to die for your terror
I want to die for your fear
I want to die for your life
09. PEACE BE REVENGED
Where are we to go
How can we survive
When the falling rain seems to cease
We will all have to go
Where are we to go
How can we survive
When the falling rain seems to cease
We will all go, we'll all go
We have built our lives
Without nature in mind
Slowly we're become the disease
But we won't go
Those that survive
Connect with all alive
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged
Once we used to hear
The light footsteps of dear
Now we have no fear
And in turn we'll disappear
We have built our lives
Without nature in mind
Slowly we're become the disease
But we won't go
Those that survive
Connect with all alive
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged
Revenged, revenged
When the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When the fears mixed with rain wash your ocean's fear
I won't be here then, you won't be here when
When the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When your tears mixed with rain wash your ocean's fear
I won't be here then, you won't be here then
Just watch the rain, just watch the rain
Rain, watch the rain ...
Where do we go
How do we meet you?
10. LEFT OF CENTER
Are we fantasy
Swimming in theocracy
We are, far from holy
The wholeness of one
Repeat after me
We lost the key of sight
Now blind, we fear in flight
We are, far from love but silence is golden
Please observe
Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
We're bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far
If today I die
And cannot deny
The life that I live for what I say
Now befit myself in time
No time, to die or kill (live)
No structures of a pyramid
Nor trained horses to arise
Surprise my position
My words define
Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
We're bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far
We go forward
We go backward
Living, dying, we're dying, we're living
We're living, we're dying
We're crying, we're seeing
We're living, we're breathing
Dying, seeing ...
Fighting your empires
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
We're bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far
11. WINGS OF SUMMER
Well, I, I, want to fly, fly
On the wings, wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes
You put your eyes on mine
Go, perfect your fall
And no matter what
Smile for them all
For today, we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads forever
I, I, want to fly
On the wings, of summer
But you, put your eyes, on mine
I, I, want to fly
On the wings, of summer
But you, you put your eyes, on mine
Don't confess to the crime
Till you lavish in your concubine
When you think you got clever
They'll wheel you in and pull the lever
Now I, I, want to fly
On the wings of summer
But you put your eyes on mine
Now, I, I'm going to fry
'Cause I ran over the guy with a Hummer
But you, put your eyes, eyes on divine
Now I, I, want to fly, fly on the wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes, you put your eyes on mine
When you think that it's all over
They'll clip your wings and make you roll over
Go perfect your great fall
No matter what smile for them all
For today we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads forever
For today, we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads ...
