4. Beast of Burden
5. Leviathan
1. Fear of Change
I dream alone at night of those
Who`ve walked the sands of Time
I`ve listened to the Stories of the Old
The Knowledge here behind our fear
That`s hidden behind our Eyes
is stronger through the lessons we`ve been told
All that my eyes see , someone elses Dreams
All Fear of change is what remains
This clutching to the past
you see in the eyes of young and old
And still I dream of other things
I`ll walked the burning Sands
To find truth or deny what i`ve been told
Never will I grieve , for things I believe
I yet have no clear way to go
Though it`s clear I`ll walk alone
And fear is real or imagined will I find
Reveal to me the truth I see
An end to what I know
And let me touch on wisdom in my Mind
2. Degenerating Paradise
He said that he knew Jesus
Came knocking at my Door
He promised me salvation
He let me know the Score
Asked to his congregation
They passed the Plate to me
I made no comtribution
He said Salvation I won`t see
Now Mister Politition
You know I hear the Words you say
You will not raise our taxes
or take our Guns away
But you`re up for Re - Election
and give yourself a raise instead
Now the tax is up and the Guns are banned
And you deny what you once said
The Criminals have the Rights you say
but the Victims pay the Price
As they`re kicking in your Door
Guess we`re supposed to treat them nice
It`s called the legal System
Due process so they say
It has no place for Justice
So the Victims always pay
3. Two Roads to Nowhere
Two Roads that lead to nowhere
One Road is filled with pain
The other is smiles and sunshine
And one in the pouring rain
One takes you ever forward
One goes back to where you came
It doesn`t matter which one you walk
In the End it`s all the same
I`ve walked the Road that leads to nowhere
I`ve walked among the dead
If you try the easy Path
You will walk with me and hang your head
If your burning eyes under blackened Skies
Should see the Path I`ve tread
You`d touch on your Mortality
And die a wiser man instead
Two Roads that lead to nowhere
Two Roads that lead to nowhere
( Repeat )
4. Beast of Burden
In a steel beast of burden
am I Preditor or prey
I ride the Midnight Highway
I shun the light of day
I rev it to the Limit
Pass by in the Night
I look for the Horizon
That`s just beyond my sight
I`m living in your Nightmare
It`s just my Fantasy
I toy with your Emotions
I`m never what you see
You watch me in your Mirror
I hide behind your Eyes
You hear my every whisper
I tell you only lies
I`m a beast of burden
I`ll devour you whole
And I`ll crush your soul
I`m the Enemy of your mind
I`m a beast of burden
Prey upon your fears
And I`ll smash your Tears
Turn a Lamb into a Lion
If I should pass by on the Highway tonight
Surrender to me any way that you like
You won`t know I`m there
I`m your hopeless despair
From behind your Eyes
my own Eyes will stare
5. Leviathan
Alone too many years to count
so feared by mortal man
I`d barter my Eternity
to be as I was then
Condemned to stand immortal
A Visage out of Hell
That longs to speak to anyone
The Stories I would tell
But all will flee before me
And refuse to understand
That even Horror needs a Friend
or to touch a womans hand
Despair now waits behind my Eyes
on my own I`ll chosen Path
You can`t see the Pain I feel
Then you shall feel my wrath
As once I walked among you
So now you live in fear
Scatter like leaves before me
when you sense that I am near
At Night you`re filled with Terror
Your Death is close at Hand
I am a living Horror
Forever alone I stand
Leviathan , Leviathan , Leviathan
