1. Intro
2. Beyond Insanity
Can you take the pain away?
Could you dry my eyes?
(Take away the lies)
Watch my life drift away.
You can't finalize.
(Fail to compromise)
All the life you've given me.
You can't take away.
Victim of an empty mind.
With all my fear, with blood and tears.
Alone I have to pay!!
I can tell what you feel inside.
I can see what you try to hide.
No love for life that you create.
Born and raised and left to hate.
In my mind there's never anyone to blame.
You are right but you are always causing
All the pain.
Beyond insanity.
That's where you've got to be.
Sifting through the selfish lie that
Call life!
Can't close my eyes today.
All the torment in my head.
(Sin is all you said)
I just try to figure out.
Why my feelings are so dead.
(Hatred is inbred)
To live my life to hate the world.
Is such hypocrisy.
In my mind its only me.
With all the love and all the hate I try
To break free.
Try to break free!!
Can you take the pain away?
My life still left to find.
(Searching all to find)
All the hell you've put me through.
The confusion in my mind
(Confusion makes me blind)
A taste of sin, a taste of sorrow.
Life taken away
Empty house of empty lies
Without my fear I disappear alone you
Have to pay.
Alone you have to pay!!!
3. Medicine Man (L.O.G.R.A.Y.)
A dream was born one day long ago.
One man's fight for equality.
Through his eyes the teachings of a saint.
One man's fight against supremacy.
Never to this day,
Have his people seen his way.
If they listen he will tell
Or the dream will burn in hell.
Wasted lives,
Intoxicated youth,
The dream has died,
The pain will never soothe
March on, carry on.
We must teach the way of sanity.
Bring it back, (the dream) take it back,
For his people the only way.
Man, just one man.
We must believe.
That one man can change the world.
See, we must see.
We must believe.
The cure is right in our hands.
Be the Medicine Man!!!
A dream was killed and a scapegoat cries.
No chance for equality.
The world sat and watched him die.
We believed the insanity.
Still unto this day,
We watch it slip away.
Democracy of lies,
That they justify.
Deceived by control,
Governed with innocence,
Conspiracy the soul,
Suffering in ignorance.
March on, carry on.
We must earn the victory.
Bring it back, (the dream) take it back,
Learning from our history.
A man and his dream scared into reality.
Human spirit played the role.
Teaching the youth the way of morality.
Knowledge is the key, learning control.
Still unto this day, he will light the way.
Honored, embraced, we follow what he traced.
Believe in the one,
Seize the dream,
Take it all and run,
Find your self-esteem.
March on, carry on.
We must believe in the story.
Bring it back, (the dream) take it back.
Humanity not territory !!!
4. A Matter of Honor
A tear from a boy.
Will he be proud to wave the flag one day?
(Symbolism can't convey)
A mother cries.
Will she be able to fill her needs?
(Patriotism cannot feed)
Break through the shelter
Of a rotten perfect Earth.
A flower reached to the heavens
Create a revolution
To bring back yesterday.
Blossomed fool to lead the way.
You won't let me live
You'd rather see me die
What am I worth to you?
Another alibi.
So the story goes.
Wll, I can see inside.
What are you worth to me?
My honor and my pride.
A slave to the system.
A wrench in the machine.
(Forefathers forgotten)
Rising in the distance.
From seeds of discontent we are born!!!
5. Trouble
Looking out my window, I see Hell.
Looking out my window, I see you.
Staring through my door, I see Hell.
Burning in the flames, I see you.
Trouble my mind.
Trouble my soul.
Trouble in the youth.
Burning out of control.
Control control control control
Burning out of control
Playing with my mind, I see Hell.
Playing out of mind, I see you.
But, who the fuck can ever tell.
Burning in the flames, I see you.
Trouble my mind.
Trouble my soul.
Trouble in the youth.
Burning out of control.
Control control control control
Falling asleep into a dream.
Falling asleep, away, away.
Falling asleep, I'm falling down.
Wide awake, I see you.
Trouble my mind.
Trouble my soul.
Trouble in the youth.
Burning out of control.
Control control
There ain't no fucking control
6. Art of Sin
Too much time, too many eyes.
Too many promises, too many cries.
Too much fear and aggravation.
Art of sin at their dictation.
Souls in pain own eyes in lust.
Rotting minds die without trust.
They try to take the freedom away,
Then try to make it all go away!!
Put death to rest, put life to shame.
Red hands, murder, who's to blame?
What are we? Why do we care?
Colorful eyes in a dead blank stare.
Blind are we running scared.
My mind, my soul what is fair.
What we need to stay in line.
Mass control of fragile mind.
Look into the machine,
Tell me what you want to be.
Look into the machine,
Tell me what you want to be!!!
Enter the hell of a mind gone mad,
Into a world of the faceless void,
Gears turn to the infallible pulse,
Enter control, to the divine.
To be creator, add color to eyes.
To watch the growth, triple the size.
To light the dark, and seize the night.
To end the pain, to end the fright.
Innocence lost and wisdom gained.
Freedom of soul that we proclaim.
Don't promise the war.
Can't promise creation.
Art of sin now our dictation.
Look into the machine, Tell me what you want to be.
Look into the machine, Tell me what you want to be!!!
7. Winds
God bless the child who has his own.
But all creation isn't carved in stone.
People are blind and they can't decide.
Path of destruction leads to mindless suicide...
Mother looks but she'll never see,
All the abuse, why don't we just set her free!!!
We are trapped in a fortress of insanity.
Life's potential, lost to hypocrisy.
Aggravation turning to aggression, slipping slowly
Into repression.
We can look and we can see,
The winds of change must set her free.
Leave her be!! The winds of change, lost!!, in irony.
Breaking down the walls of hate
and all of those who separate.
Segregation, civil war, tearing down confining doors.
The fall of solidarity, burn the flag, set me free.
Time for change, disengage, now its time to
Rearrange, my life.
Necessity!! Necessity!!
Conformity!! Conformity!!
Uniformity of their policy!!
Sanity!! Sanity!!
Insanity!! Insanity!!
Deformity of what's meant to be!!
8. Disease
Innocence, I began, youth my direction.
Ignorance, love in my heart, no detection.
Tried to explore, dying for more.
Life, death, please mother let me begin.
I closed my eyes, everything a lie.
Rebellion to rebel, fallen in deep, why?
Tried to deter, dying not to see.
Hate, hate, please mother leave me be.
I created, I found myself at least I thought.
Lust for for love rotted me, no detection.
Tried and achieved, what was not conceived.
Watch me, please mother look at me!!
I fell, I fell hard, face down denial.
I've beaten myself into the ground.
I tried to rise, everything changes, not me.
Wrong or right, please mother forgive me.
I looked, I looked at myself, my direction.
All these years gone, but I found love.
Myself, I'm off to explore again with peace of mind.
Every day mother, father I'm more like you.
I understand why you do the things you do.
Disease!! Rots under my skin.
Disease!! Committed like sin.
Disease!! Starving for more.
Disease!! I don't want to cure.
9. Do or Do Not
Pull from the force of life.
Will we ever find our way?
In this game of impossibility?
In this game we stay.
We will find our way.
Mother gives the birth.
The earth will breathe the death.
Try not do or do not.
To climb for higher ground.
We make no sound.
10. A New Hope
A boy alone in his mind he looks to the sky.
His home, the desert, this life to him a lie.
Not knowing tomorrow, or what he will face,
Led by a droid across the Jundland waste!!
A wizard old man, a myth of today.
Through him Luke sees the Force, the way.
A cry for help from a princess in white.
Her only hope for salvation, in rebellion they fight!!
Through the Emperor's evil, a dark lord is born.
From good to evil, his soul has been torn.
The Jedi but gone, his faith turned to black,
Their technology they prize, but faith they lack.
A ruthless slaughter of millions of lives,
A sudden silence of countless cries.
They seek the ones who threaten their way,
The alliance strong, they seize the day!!
Sacrifice for freedom.
A new hope is born.
Power of humanity.
Life, what's supposed to be.
Eulogize your heroes.
Hold your head high.
Through all of our yesterdays.
A new hope is born!!
A mission of hope is under way,
The plan's the key, to yesterday.
Two warriors meet, the circle complete.
The great one will fall, to become a martyr for all.
A weakness found, now is time to attack.
Impossible plan but there is no turning back.
The Force with them and the will to succeed.
The victory, humanity, through darkness they exceed!!
Sacrifice for freedom.
A new hope is born.
Power of humanity.
Life, what's supposed to be.
Eulogize your heroes.
Hold your head high.
Through all of our yesterdays.
A new hope is born!!
