The Ants go marching one by one
Into the earth to escape from the sun
The water falls, the rivers run
They all wash away, one by one
You see the Mirror just standing there watching you
The man inside he says walk away
Its not his time and its not his place
He's just another unfamiliar face... walk away
Everyday back where they begun
No bodies laughing there is no fun
You see the Mirror just standing there watching you
The man inside he says walk away
Its not his time and its not his place
He's just another unfamiliar face... walk away
Everyday back where they begun
No bodies laughing there is no fun
The water falls, the rivers run
They all wash away...one by one
You see the man he's sitting there laugh at you
feel the pain just wash away
Its not his time and its not his place
He's just another unfamiliar face... walk away
could you walk away
could you walk all day............
walk away now
I don't care how
your not chained down
your not laying down.. run away
Take the time to
wash away a little piece of your lie
leave the pain and walk away
I know the game you play
I know the game you play
walk away
walk away
walk away
walk away....

My Dearest Darling
In me what do you see
Is your arm twisted backwards
Have I blinded thee
If I said I was a Liar
In me would you believe
If I said for you I would die
Would you lead me to bleed
Take me to the river
and lead me to drown
Drain me of my life blood darling
Until the waters run brown
Until the waters run brown
Reddy brown
Reddy brown
I have suffered mans desires
I have tasted destain
I have burned as a fire my love
I am twisted in pain
Take me to the river
and lead me to drown
Drain me of my life blood darling
Till the waters run brown
Until the waters run brown
Reddy brown
Reddy brown
The words from your mouth
In this sickness or this health
If death do us part my dear
Would you care to die
Take me to the river
and lead me to drown
Drain me of my life blood darling
Until the waters run brown
Until they run run brown
Reddy brown
Reddy brown
Reddy brown..........
I have suffered mans desires
I have tasted destain
I have raged as a fire
I am twisted in pain
Twisted by the fire fly.....

Shallow Cure

Old man bent and stayed
wonder why riddled with hate
all friends frayed and stained
they've all fled far away
Mirror cracked with site of face
How can empty life replace
Your steps if only could retrace
Happier would have been your fate
There was a time you had a chance
Now its too late
Lies so insipid now
Foolish is self worth and thought
How your viewed disbelieved
All of the course self brought
Old man trying to be another
Shoe fits an-others foot
Never even to pass as a brother
This your pretense empties the soul it took
Happier could have been your fate
If only another chance
Now its too late
Old man, old man, denial is a shallow cure
You learn to embrace
the loyalties once held dear...
disappear... without a.. lonely glance or trace
Old man, Old man in denial...
Happier could have been your fate
If only another chance
Now its too late
Old man, old man, denial is a shallow cure
You learn to embrace
the loyalties once held pure...
disappear... without a.. lonely glance of trace
Old man, Old man in denial...
Bow your shoulders
Bend with the weight self taught
Bend low
Bear the burden self wrought
Bow your head
Bow down low
Hold no ones gaze, no one knows
Bow your head
Bow down low
This is your endless fate till the end of days
Old man, old man, denial is a shallow cure
You learn to embrace
the loyalties once held pure...
disappear... without a.. lonely glance of trace
Old man, Old man in denial...

Life couldn't hold you any higher
Your out of reach
Maybe I should try a little harder
But I'm so hard to please
Its such a wicked world
You've nothing left to hurl
So take a well earned rest
Your up there with the best
The body is weak but the mind is strong
But all we can do, is keep on moving on
To keep the ones we love close to find
The pain of memories left in song
Its such a wicked world
You've nothing left to hurl
So take a well earned rest
Your up there with the best
To keep the ones we love close to find
The pain of memories left in song
Its such a wicked world
You've nothing left to hurl
I wonder what its all cost
To find the ones you've lost

Hand of Power
03:21

|
Hold your head held high
Clench you fist and let it fly
No one feels the pain
But those your break again and again and again
Hand of Power
Heart of Greed
Head to Roll
Your heart to Bleed Yay yea
You take a life
and that aint right
You take the man and then
Take his wife
Feed the rich
Bury the poor
The hand that rules
is the hand that kills
Hand of Power
Heart of Greed
Head to Roll
Your heart to Bleed....
Through the years nothing changes
The hand that rules is the hand that kills
Ooooooh oooh ooooooo
The Hand of Power
He who sits upon the throne
Teach your son to be the evil one
Hand of Power
Heart of Greed
Head to Roll
Your heart to Bleed....

Belief
04:20

Death wields a burning picture of me
Bloody eyes I see you looking at me
Such a foreign weakness find in me
Is this my time, maybe I should believe
Its not my Belief.. yet
The hands of time clutching desperately
The wheels of life bearing down upon me
A vision of what should never be
Is this my time, maybe I should believe
Its not my Belief.. yet
Its not my Belief.. yet yet no
Could you clarify something that's bothering me
Or are the words of truth so lost in prophecy
Have you set aside a special place for me
If you were mightier you'd make this my belief
Its not my Belief.. yet
Its not my Belief..
When he comes will I be choking with fear
Soffercation will swallow my prayer
Leaving me naked to his burning stare
If this is my time maybe I should believe

Tears roll down my cheek again
I cant remember the last time
that my eyes leaked.
Leaked...
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own again
Sleeping alone again
sleeping alone again...
Sleeping alone...
How did you make it so easy
how did you make it so easy
when you know
I like it hard
I like it hard
I like hard
Its not meant to be easy
If it was meant to be easy
Why is it better hard..
It's only worthwhile if its hard
It's only worthwhile if its hard
It's only worthwhile if its hard...
Why dya die so easy
Why dya die so easy
Why dya die so easy when you know
I like it
I like it hard
And you always
take the... easy
way out
and you... always
take the... easy
way out..
again..
and again
and again
and again
Taking the easy way out again
your taking the easy way out again

Four Walls
05:43

|
Its ten thirty Am
Awakened again
I cant find a single reason
to leave this bed
The child is screaming
Cat wail fills my head
and then recall these four walls
My heart cold fills with dread
It cant be long now
ooh no it wont be long now
till it gets
till it gets
its getting started
And I'm bouncing off the walls
the ceiling and the floor
Can you, leave me some air
cos theres not much down here
and if its all the same
can you shoot me again
and leave me bouncing
I'm bouncing off the walls.....
Black coffee
then yoga
With the Sea at my feet
I'm fighting this feeling
But my heart starts to beat
Grey is now, falling down
to my feet
I'm screaming let me out
Cos I'm bouncing of the walls
the ceiling and the floor
Can you, leave me some air
cos theres not much down here
and if its all the same
can you shoot me again
and leave me bouncing
I'm bouncing off the walls.....
Coming down again
Coming down again
Coming down again
Coming down again
Fuck this coming down
its always grey and brown
with ya head stuck in the ground
Kick me while I'm down
Fuck this coming down
Fuck this coming down
Blue Sky awakens
The sea is warm and green
but my minds lost reason
I'm burning on the cross
Screaming with a shout
Will ya let me out
Can ya let me out
Just let me out
Cos I'm bouncing of the walls
the ceiling and the floor
Can you, leave me some air
cos theres not much down here
and if its all the same
can you shoot me again
and leave me bouncing
I'm bouncing off the walls.....
Coming down again
Coming down again
Coming down again
Coming down again
Fuck this coming down
its always grey and brown
with ya head stuck in the ground
Kick me while I'm down
Fuck this coming down
Fuck this coming down
Bouncing off the walls
Bouncing off the walls

Toxic
04:54
|

|
Anarchy lies within
A plague out of control
This poison growing stronger
A curse without a soul
Here I lie in duress
A captive to its command
Chaos runs through my thoughts
I do as it demands
Heed to the Voices
Hearing them pray
Do as they bid me
Obey what they say
Its bark seeps toxic
An abstract my mind has become
A destroyer it wants to be
Abdicate and join as one
Time to take control now
Be free of what I am not
Take a bullet to my head
And Pray...That God... forgot
Heed to the Voices
Hearing them pray
Do as they bid me
Obey what they say
I'm being held prisoner in my own mind
I'm being held prisoner in my own mind
Rpt.

Desperate to please
Pained to succeed
side ways push
try to muscle in
Those you'd lead
from you flee
respect you seek
but have not earned
Father crushed spring
now let fly
frustrated by limitations
into all obstacles...
Collide...
Collide
Collide
Collide
Where is your family
In tribe who cares
your not seen
due too..
New Zealand Green
New Zealand Green
Who wants to be lead
by a man living in dread
hiding himself
with two knives and a flame
respected, feared, trusted
or growing to loath
the juries still out
but will soon decide
If you just...
Too P Fried
Collide
Too P Fried
Collide
Collide
Those you'd lead
from you flee
respect you seek
but have not earned.........
Those you'd lead
from you flee
respect you seek
but have not earned
Those you'd lead
from you flee.
Desperate to please
Pained to succeed
side ways push
try to muscle in
Your just too... Your just too
P Fried
Your just too

Don't Bring the Sun
05:23
|

|
Darkness lies all around
Broken only by the moons veiled claw
Silver shafts abound
Piercing window crack and door
Restless slumber
the Owls alarm
call to wake
Eyes break open
Oh God, for heavens sake...
Don't .. Don't bring the Sun
Don't let the Sun rise
Please don't come...because
Tomorrow.. they'll burn the Witches
Watch the Witches burn, watch them burn
Build the fire
They build the pier
They build the truth
Light the fire
Children gather round
fan the flames
watch them burn it too the ground
Children gather round
fan the flames
watch them burn it too the ground
Don't bring the Sun
Don't let the Sun rise
Please don't come...because
Tomorrow.. they'll burn the Witches
Watch the Witches burn, watch them burn
Watch the Witches burn, watch them burn
Watch them burn....
Children gather round
Watch the Witches burn...

Wife's steeling while I'm needing
Don't get cold now it's freezing
You don't have to go now
You could wait a little longer
Let's go for it one last time
While she's cheating I'm needing
take the lead I need healing
I want you to stay now
I want it to be so special
I want to feel for the last time
What they didn't tell you
About the birds and the bee's
You don't have to be in love to have sex
And they forgot to tell you we all have needs
You don't have to be in love to have sex
No you don't have to be in love
Please tell me that we're all good
Please tell me I'm still in love
But all she wants is a good fuck
Please tell me that we're all good
Please tell me we are
But all she wants is a different fuck
What they didn't tell you
About the birds and the bee's
You don't have to be in love to have sex
And they forgot to tell you we all have needs
You don't have to be in love to have sex
No you don't have to be in love
All she wants is a good fuck
And What they didn't tell you
About the birds and the bee's
You don't have to be in love to have sex
And they forgot to tell you we all have needs
You don't have to be in love to have sex
No you don't have to be in love
