1. Curse (of the Cloth)
Welcome to my House of Sadness,
Welcome to my House of Sadness,
Surreal in its weak foundation,
Stillness moves through ancient walls,
Sun shines glinting bringing warmth,
I am ready to confess,
Impliment of sexuction,
Pre-empted I bear my soul,
I bear my soul,
I bear my soul,
I bear my soul,
Through the mosaic of wood and stone,
I rain into a wall of silence,
Surmounted by the laws of lords,
Ruling with a double standard,
Slaughter of the pilgrims never ending,
In come the saints, martyrs sing,
Marching to their own drum,
He who casts the first stone be without sin,
CHORUS:
Curse!
Curse of the cloth!
Curse of!
Curse of the cloth!
Accountable to none, they lie in readiness,
Under the cover of kindness,
Continuing the Curse of the Cloth,
Under Vatican protection,
Punishment, full redemption,
Hidden re-location,
Pestilence in the name of salvation,
CHORUS (2x)
CHORUS (2x)
The curse continues...
2. The Answer
All in the answer,
All in the answer,
Battle call of the fathers,
Personal wall of the elite,
Hypnotized by symbols,
Idols and coloured rags,
Condems full of attention,
Contradicts a way of life,
Brother fights my brother,
Heritage of east and west,
Orphans of a changing world,
Blind leading the blind,
CHORUS:
The question is why we never,
Stand up for what is right,
The question is why we always,
Stand up for what is wrong,
REPEAT CHORUS
Violence in the name of peace,
Triumph of Good over Evil,
Divided by key players,
United in creating the rift,
Expressed in coded warnings,
Deliberate deception,
Love hate partners sharing,
Never ever to unite,
Confront your own mortality,
Blind leading the blind,
In fertile fields, searching for answers,
CHORUS (2x)
Blind leading the blind,
In fertile fields, searching for answers,
CHORUS (2x)
All in the answer.
3. The Prophecy
We can't keep something alive,
That has no heart,
Doing what is good,
Is not doing what is right,
So the beat goes on,
The time has come to be a hero,
See your name in bright lights,
Swept away with grand illusions,
Force fed visions of fame,
Your guard is down,
You are the hunted,
In a corporate world,
That has no shame,
Contracts signed, all hail the new kings,
Keep in a state of eternal bliss to be...
Stranded - like thousands that went before me,
Stranded - but I will never lay down - come on!
CHORUS:
Break out, rise up from oblivion,
Rise up, sinners and saints,
Break out, rise up from oblivion,
Rise up, black sheep shall survive,
Bathing in short living glory,
Quickly becoming a faded memory,
Drowning in the hidden vortex,
Overflowed with ruined lives,
Beaten by the glamour forces,
Harvest fruitful lays between the lies,
This phoenix rises out o from the ashes,
From a light that never goes out,
Stranded - like thousands that went before me,
Stranded - but I will never lay down - come on!
CHORUS (1x)
Stranded - like thousands that went before me,
Stranded - but I will never lay down,
Stranded - like thousands that went before me,
Stranded - but I will never lay down - come on!
CHORUS (2x)
4. Endowment of Apathy
Born in a city, no more than a wasteland,
Flash point, a struggle to the bitter end,
Productive life, serenity a godsend,
Auxilery a second class citizen,
Voice of the future, always a breath away,
Opinions moulded, educated to obey,
Destined to seclusion and decay,
Auxilery, a second class citizen,
Doomed from the womb,
Born on the wrong side of the tracks,
In the wrong postal zone,
Doomed from the womb,
CHORUS:
Random, brutal, rough justice,
Tried, convicted, Endowment of Apathy,
Random, brutal, rough justice,
Tried, convicted, Endownment of Apathy,
Years of grind in substandard luxury,
Masses grovel in poverty and misery,
Negative, Endowment of Apathy,
Erosion of pride, faith, integrity,
Survive a system, expecting the norm,
Broken willed, expressionless born,
Trial by Fire, walk the plank at dawn,
Whitewashed, stripped, peeled and torn,
Doomed from the womb,
Born on the wrong side,
Ambitions, no crime,
Ambitions, no crime,
Ambitions, no crime,
Prejudged,
Ambitions, no crime,
Ambitions, no crime,
Ambitions, no crime,
Pre-judged,
CHORUS (1x)
Doombed from the womb - judgement has been passed,
CHORUS (2x)
5. Enemy Mind
What are you waiting for?
Enemy at my door, what are you waiting for?
Demon preacher tracking me, I have no place to run,
Enemy in my mind, desperate and sublime,
Deomon preacher tracking me, I have no place to run,
Now you carry my life, fragile with passion,
Vigilant the fight, I stand alone,
CHORUS:
Ranting the sermon,
On the edge of reason,
This is tomorrow calling,
And slowly I am drifting away,
Anger deep inside my mind,
Stealing the sands of time,
Constantly confusing me,
I have no place to run,
Now you carry my life, fragile with passion,
Vigilant the fight, I stand alone,
CHORUS (2x)
This is tomorrow calling,
And slowly I am drifting away.
6. Skin Trade
Lure of the good life, lead into the promised land,
Crossing over borders hand in hand,
Giving trust in the face of danger,
The battle of control has just begun,
Common language, universal tongue,
Serving up salvation, liberators, pimps in disguise,
Enforcing thresholds to survive,
Switching on to satisfy, servants must perform,
Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence,
Enslaved, abused and betrayed,
Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade,
Screaming in silence,
Exchanging skin for gold,
Messiah, turned traitor, leaves all callous and drained,
Providing for the hideous and all the lame,
Enticed into a snare, held in a prison now called home,
Executing foul gratification,
Exposed to random acts of physical disgust,
Compelled to adhere to the captures corrupt mind,
Switching on to satisfy, servants must perform,
Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence,
Enslaved, abused and betrayed,
Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade,
Screaming in silence,
Exchanging skin for gold,
Slavery sold to, suffering into,
Exchanging skin for gold.
7. (Built to) Resist
Branded, forced into exile,
Clinical routine, family union dissolved,
Accused, abandonment, dead beat,
Admonished, siblings, severed values detached,
Hear my children calling,
Loud out to me,
I won't subscribe to a campaign,
Bent on tragedy,
CHORUS:
Built to resist, built to resist,
My children I'll come for you,
Bonded, subculture formed,
Anguish, yearning fills painful spiritless void,
Blood flows vested strong and free,
Starved from rightful tender physical resolve,
Hear my children crying,
Loud out to me,
I won't subscribe to a campaign,
Bent on tragedy,
CHORUS (2x)
My children I'll come for you.
8. The Gift
Time heals, time heals all wounds,
Bad habits die hard, bad habits die hard,
Tired of, tired of self,
Tired of selfinfliction, selfinfliction, selfinfliction,
No more leaving morals at the door,
Cut out the cancer, time to settle the score,
Hood-winked divine, partners in crime,
CHORUS:
Present to you the gift that shines,
Two hands will deliver, two hands will deliver,
Present to you the gift that shines,
Reward gift that shines perfect day,
Impact, impact of pride,
Unwanted burdens, unwanted burdens,
Conflict, conflict will bring,
Conflict will bring aggression, bring suppression, bring depression,
No more leaving morals at the door,
Cut out the cancer, time to settle the score,
Hood-winked divine, partners in crime,
CHORUS (1x)
No honour amongst thieves,
CHORUS (1x)
9. Privilege
Sever the senses, dominate, divide,
Born from pain,
Falling victim to own vengeance again,
Born from pain, rise,
Push me, shove me, push me down,
To see the light, step through the dark,
CHORUS:
Privilege born from pain, privilege born from pain,
Empires embossed, embattled cultures,
Privilege born from pain,
Heathen, zero identity,
Set them free,
Installing fallibility,
Set them free, rise,
Push me, shove me, push me down,
Endless the moving question,
CHORUS (2x)
We are a dying breed.
10. Blood of Saints
Seal your fate, seal your fate,
Seal your fate, seal your fate,
Souless, forgotten in time,
Deep hunger flows in the veins,
Of the ancient,
Seducing dreams, spiral in motion,
Endless the quest, for life everlasting,
Fever inside, inside fever,
This is not a dream,
Faithless, avoiding light,
Needless attention, proud to be noticed,
Driven by thirst, successers bleed,
A vicious beauty, scorned for a thousand years,
Fever inside, inside fever,
This is not a dream,
Pray, bathing in the blood of saints,
CHORUS:
Learn the lesson, cold and bare,
From life's sharp razor, life's sharp razor,
Cut your fate,
Cut your fate,
Cut your fate,
Smash the sin, expose the sinner,
Cut your fate,
Bathing in the blood of saints,
Free from eternal night,
Rhymes of resurrection crusading as immortal,
Transform, the balance shifts,
Sexual presentation, addicted to the chase,
Blood and music blend together,
Sing a song and dance with the Devil,
Burning bright, walk in the light,
The embers of youth,
Pray to your wretched God,
Learn the lesson, cold and bare,
From life's sharp razor, life's sharp razor,
Cut your fate,
Pain and despair, don't stand and stare,
A wise man rides on the winds of change,
Bathing in the blood of saints,
CHORUS (1x)
11. Man with No Insides
The man with no insides, the man with no insides,
The man with no insides, the man with no insides,
Open this Pandora's Box,
Crossed frequencies pass through,
Embark on someone else's train,
Pop goes the king weasel,
CHORUS:
So let the chant begin - ensue,
Master of the dance of the dead - vital,
Sing lullabies of times gone by,
Come children emanate him,
The man with no insides, the man with no insides,
The man with no insides, the man with no insides,
Immerse the pawn,
Into the salve of delight,
Entwined within the carnival of soars,
Pop goes the king weasel,
CHORUS (2x)
The man with no insides, the man with no insides,
The man with no insides, the man with no insides.
