1. Inertia (live)
2. Faith (live)
3. Innerspace (live)
4. The Prisoner (live) (Iron Maiden cover)
1. Inertia (live)
These are the pictures
T hese are the feelings from the front line
Living in silence
Feeling the deafness like heavy smoke
Smiling with strangers counting the days
Like a spring coiled up inside
Welcome to your future
Welcome to your book of lies
Fingers crawl through pages
Nothing changes living here...
Inertia
No wish to move at all
Inertia
E verything's a stone wall
Inertia
H istory lets you die
A ragged pile of silent accusers
Smell the blood of strangers here
No eyes no ears no smell no taste
The mouth of the maggot is full ofthis place
Murdered conscience the pressure is crushing heads
Like paper lanterns now
Unbreakable grip a dead hand
Driving us forward to the end
Kicking through traces
A thousand years from now
Inertia
No wish to think at all
Inertia
Everything's a stone wall
Inertia
History lets you die
2. Faith (live)
You knew I wouldn't go
That's why you threatened me...would I stay?
Said I was sick...I'd be alone, said my mind was at my own...I didn't learn
You crawled up on your knees...a victim's pretty please...
Would I stay? Would I stay? ...and I stayed
How many more times, till I broke down from that guilty mess
You taught me to hate to love you
That's because you love to hate yourself
I wish it had a happy end
Like the fairy-tales pretend there can be
But things are not the same
When your life love was a game
Of make believe
You get everything you want
But not everything you need
A nd it's true..you receive...what you achieve
How many screaming fights, tears of rage
Until it ended
How many more times till I say who I am
And don't pretend
3. Innerspace (live)
I see the scars of action writhing round your face
Too much inactivity and home's a lonely place
Throw away your beauty cuz you know that it won't last
Throw away your present, you've been living in the past
Come on, take a trip with me across the bridge of lunacy
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you if you can't travel this way too
Fire up this beast, we'll ride the skywaves
I've thrown away my images, they're all so distant now
Discovery was a stranger then, welcome to my house
Whatever demons torture me I love them like a friend
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change
I'd rather move around and be than figure out live and what it means
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you if you can't travel this way too
Fire up this beast, we'll ride the skywaves
And when the fireballs work is done, and we are part of the nuclear one
The whole damn thing begins again
Our glory days have just begun, a fiery sideslip then we're gone
I'll see ya Monday morning
Any way I'm coming back
Any way I'm coming back
4. The Prisoner (live) (Iron Maiden cover)
I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat
I'm starving now, feeling dead on my feet
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want, I'll do as I please
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out
Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going ... out
If you kill me it's self defence
If I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out
Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
I'm not a number I'm a free man
Live my life how I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cos I'll run rings round you
