1. The Leaders?
Death has come to here
We're burning badly
Filth up to my ears
We're screaming mad
And I would like to know exactly
Just what you have planned for us to do
You claim to be the leaders
Well who the hell on Earth is leading you?
You sent us to fight
While we were waiting
What did you do for
The situation?
Dictating our beliefs
Erasing your deceit
Scapegoat nations to fall
(Mechanized) Armies wait at your call
Madness threatens your soul
Control on the decline
Slipping from you crazed hold
(Genocide) Forces weak, passion bold
You were blind before
Now it's our turn to
See the light no more
We're crawling towards you
Chaos swarms through minds
Mutated armies
Rise and fall an find
That power destroys
I would like to know exactly
Just what you have planned for us to do
Tommorrow holds the answers
And today had better bring upon the truth
2. King in Exile
I have lived a life of wealth and splendor
Anything I wanted I could easily buy
(Locked away) from the games that you play
(Beg beg) every minute of every day
(Day to day) I'm carefree that's more than you can say
Much more than you can say
Prince to pauper was my decision
Discarding everything I had ever owned
(Take a look) where's my self respect?
(In exile) with all of my worries
(I don't care) if I'm a burden to society
[RESPONSE:]
Proclaiming selfish, careless freedom
You're blind to the worth of life!
There's pride to be found in accomplishing
Something you've strived for!
So try and redefine your outlook!
Get a job! Get a job!
It just might save your life!
Get a job! Get a job! Get a job!
Get a job! Get a job! Get a job!
You worthless slob!
3. On to Illiad
Sitting on the sands of foreign shores
What will it take to make you see the light
Yesterday's patronizing tears
To prove the gods, wrong or right
The road to ancient prophecies is long
When will everybody sing your song
Fearful foes emerging from the past
We're marching on to Iliad at last
See the battles strewn upon the floor
Hear the cries of victory and pain
Twice this day your future lies ahead
Painful suffering amidst a gain
Priam's cities sees it's heroes fall
Into your hands, what does this mean
Egos surging like a demon spawned
Mind engulfed in a fog-crested dream
4. In the Mean Time
Playing Hitler with defenseless pets
As far as I'm concerned there's no excuse
I wouldn't be surprised if you were taking bets
On just how much the poor creatures can take of your
Abuse!
The prisons are full, spilling over with pigs
Put them to use for all your research
Any damn machine can make a license plate
But finding cure for AIDS and cancer is not as easy
We're living in the mean time
Efficiency is no crime!
Why don't you get it straight before it's too late!
Relieve those crowded jails, redefine the word "bail"
Take those sentenced to life put them under your knife!
There's no better answer!
Kill one bird with one stone, the other leave alone
Stop destroying animals, this choice is logical
Use humans for your tests, the results will prove best!
I'm sure this proposal must seem quite radical
But all parties concerned will benefit, you'll learn
That's if we awake in time to correct our...
Mistake!
5. Oppinionate!
How 'bout we get a little honest with ourselves
Let's start to think!
We're only flaunting our lack of respect
When we argue over opinions
You!
You talk like it's a fact
I wish you could just listen to yourself and your...
Opinions!
From the way that you talk
(Opinionate!)
You'd think your word was law
A preference cannot be wrong nor right
But it's wrong to try and dispute tastes
There's so many reasons we all use to form opinions
You see we've got the right to each hold a point of view
Why fight each other, it's all in vain respect's the key
But we argue blind, each thinking he is right
We are all at fault, you know it's true
Our simple free will is completely ignored
Damned to ignorance, what will we do now?!
We've all got enough problems, why add to the strain?
A no-win situation is what we have on our hands
Over and over and over and over
We prove the fact that we can't think
Living one mulish day at a time
Convinced that our shit doesn't stink! Yeah!
This song is food for thought, we're all starving
To change your standpoint is not so alarming
The usual result of change is growth
What's your opinion we'd like to know!
Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate!
Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate! Now!
6. Rebel Without a Brain
You anger me beyond belief
Lying for the sake of lying
Right to my face
As if I were as pathetically simple as yourself
Using anything and everything for an excuse
You're twisting logical reasoning tight in a knot
Twist it!
Boycotting thought before action
You're so damn self-assured
Further strangled by the results
Of your modified truth
Rebel without a brain
Rebel
What makes you think that lying's cool?!
Deception's noose keeps on tightening
Around your neck
Haunting you now are the loose ends
You neglected to check
Your life is your mind's fabrication
You're living a lie
Why not give the truth a small chance?
Hell would freeze before you'd try!
7. A
You've all the answers to how people should all live their lives
Well if you show me a wretch who does what he can to survive
Then I'll, I'll show you resistance, you call it a shame
We are the ?
Now deviation is not found in your dictionary
Ask me the question, just how different can equate with free
And I'll, I'll show you the answer, the happiness game
It's rooted in our crime of not being the same
Cause we're not the same
And never will be
8. Rape of Persephone
I've been around forever, watching, waiting
She was the one
Took what I wanted, what I longed for
With no remorse
Rape, in the night
To defile the pure, it takes a soul that's dark and sure
Power mad, sick, disease, no cure
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white displayed
Rape, in the night
Never be the same, life is not a stupid, useless game
Somebody has to take the blame
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white soiled gray
Where do you think you're going
I'll tell you where you've been
Through the glass so darkly
An angel has fallen
Rape, in the night
To defile the pure, it takes a soul that's dark and sure
Power mad, sick, disease, no cure
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white lays frayed
Every time
9. The Cross
Night calls upon my betrayal
Morn sees me denied three times
Believe in God, believe also in me
I am the way, the truth, and the Life
The truth I leave within you
You Judas, hear your fate and then carry it out
Once Satan's entered you, you'll turn right about
And Peter give your life up, or so you say
Instead your knowledge of me shall be erased
They take me away, to cast me from the world
My love won't die
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
I have been judged to die upon the cross
These thorns released my earthly blood
Still hold your faith, aside from what you see
Bearing my cross, bearing all your sin
Oh, Golgotha, to the place of the skull
You sheep within my flock hear the truth of my life
The nails deep in my flesh, the pierce of the knife
Though evil strung me up and started time anew
Know that my life was given up for you
Open your hearts, I'll flow within
10. Face the Fat Reality
Your chart shows, truth you soundly deny
The stars hold, your life's blueprints
You smirk and pass them by
You just pass them by
(You're a) velvet hand inside an iron glove
Alone there, praising the very thoughts you're
Thinking of
Your veil of charm is pulled back
For all within sight
To gaze upon in surprise
I'm staring with delight!
You cannot change your fate! No!
Selfish anger on your face
Oh stop it, you're breaking my heart!
You love the fine art of disgrace
But not when it's cast in your part!
You should have listened up, and seen your faults
Narcissism gets you nowhere at all!
Nowhere at all!
11. I Too Eye
She's dynamite in bed, isn't that what's in your head?!
I see your hungry smile, you make me sicker all the while!
I'm gonna tell you what it's all about
The truth of the matter is
You're like a roach who sees a scrap of food
I call it rude, yeah!
Your middle-aged fantasies, hopeless attempts at ecstasy
So keep your eyes in your head, you know damn well
She ain't winding up in your bed!
Now I must honestly tell
That I have done it as well
You go through these things in life
But you, I can't understand
I'm just a kid, you're a man
What about your wife?!
You call yourself adult
You're just adulterous!
Can't you... I too eye
You never will... see eye to eye
See eye too eye
It's too late to... see eye to eye
You'd go and throw it all away
Just for a lousy lay
Unbelievable
Tell me is it worth all the sweat?
Only to wake up in regret
Or is your conscience simply dead?!
12. Aftermath of Betrayal
[ACT I]
Once past twelve sounds a bell
'Tis bitter cold at Elsinore
Three Danes await and watch the night
For the late king Hamlet's spectral sight
It comes again in warlike form
This spirit of health beckons his son
Father, king, royal Dane?
Tell me the reason why you came
I am the spirit of the king
I walk the night and burn by day
"Till the foul crimes done in my days
Of nature are burnt and purged away"
A serpents sting took my life
Now wears my crown and wed my wife
Avenge my death, remember me
Hamlet my son, kill the king!
[ACTS II and III]
A noble mind overthrown
Seized with madness
Dethrone!
Somewhat deceptive
To masque his designs
The prince will reap his vengeance in time
His lady love doth think him mad
Lord Chamberlain warns
Stay away!
The actors come hither
Presenting a play
Hamlet's intentions are underway
He has caught the conscience of the king
Railed the queen
Thought Claudius slain
Instead lay dead
The fool Chamberlain
Banished; to England Hamlet is sent
[ACT IV]
The sails were set for their destruction
Twice fell the night their ship is attacked
Death has strayed from his path to claim sweet Ophelia
The prince now returns enraged with wrath
He falls upon innocence returning to dust
Swears he laertes, Hamlet must
Pay for all grievances put on his house
Conspiracy lingers, the duel; a trap
13. Nightstalker
