1. Prayer For The Dying
Taste of his pain rising slow from the counter
Smell of his memory now lost in his gaze
Test of his life as a prayer not a martyr
Young man he was now a mark on the door
Hail the light, the light of his idols
Like the one like another before
He stumbled for truth
He stumbled through blindness
The young man he was is now dead on the floor
Screaming lies out to the liars
We are the lives we are the wars
I see red like blood as I'm crossing the street
See the red of blood splattered on the sheet
See the blood of a life no longer there
The trace of a child, the sound of despair
Hear bottles clankin', stankin', shankin'
Turned upside down, empty, containing
No more love and no more laughter
No more joy and no more sadness
Kill the wound
That's part of social lies
Will the heroin take another life
Sounds of angels screaming in pain at the fallen
Echo in heaven
Brings tears to our eyes
Sounds of angels screaming in pain at the fallen
Echo in heaven
Bring tears to god's eye
Say a prayer for the dying
Give the key to the blind man
Those who ask for forgiveness
Are the proof of their malice
Light the light of the scapegoat
Light the eye of the world
Give them hope
Give them future
Give them all that you can
2. The Goddess
Fly high warning signs
Vision seekers stand where others fall
Flow down men of no water
Drown now men of no matter
We call to you to find
What you cannot call your own
Locks drop rain drops
Lives criss cross, voices fall
Fly high warning signs
Vision seekers stand where others falls
Flow down men of no water
Drown now men of no matter
We call to you to find
Whatever you cannot call your own
Locks drop rain drops
Lives criss cross, voices call
For now is the time for you to answer them
Flow down men of no water
Drown now men of no matter
We call to you to find whatever you cannot call your own
Drama surrounds her
Hands bow down to touch her
She's a goddess trapped in a world
Which presents too many choices
They tried, to hold
The goddess in their arms but
She lied, she stole
The goddess kept her promise
Time has come, to read her eyes
Looking up to look down
Looking in to look out
It's too late to begin again
The past is a sore
That bleeds more and more
And brings the goddess down
Poison tube burns my eyes
Poison tubes burn my mind
Amongst kings
Housewives clean
Dump their spoken word
Nightly meetings, beatings
Drop ideas
Over and over
3. 12 Days Of Wind
Some days I don't get out
Try try but I can't answer
I like right here in the good house
My words are slow my thougs are fading
I like right here
What will I see who will I answer
And listen to the rain come down
Makes things more clear
12 days of wind we have
Some days I don't get in
Try I try but you won't answer me
I stay right here in the big house
My words are slow and my thoughts are fading
I stay right here
What will I see who will I answer
And listen to the rain come down
Makes things more clear
12 days of wind we have
Lie right here in the good house
12 days of wind we have
12 days of wind we have
4. Idle Chatter
Hitting us from all sides
So frustrated can't understand why
Fed the lies we compromise
The hungers never been this strong before
Feel our eyes
Whats the matter
Idle chatter
What's the matter
Idle chatter
Someone find the way to the store
Find me a home
I can't go
I'm so bared and I'm so tired
Help me find my way back home
Put my brains inside a bottle
Threw the bottle at the wall
The wall said love love love
Nobody heard a sound
The bottle hit the ground
5. Post
It's good to be back in this place
Peaceful and healing
The clouds are rolling freely by
Now they have the time
Friends draw near me
We're heading for fate so simple
We're all learnign
All trains are leaving
Sadness sweeps through a body of
Lonely rain outside a window pane
The side that's grief, resides on
Mental planes
Hunting slow, resolving cruelly
When something heals me
I want it nearer, so friends draw near me
We're heading for fate so simple
We're all learning
Always moving
So much strangeness
Friends draw near me
All doors unlock and giving freedom from
Frames of mind that need escaping from
Points of reference far from center ground
Energy leaves the wildest horses
Something heals me
Want it nearer
Friends draw near me
Heading for so much strangeness
Friends draw near me
Want them nearer
Friends draw near me
6. Gemini
See the lines shoot down the black orgasm
Slowly to burn the nights on fire
See the day unleash its fury felt
See horizons filled with time unknown
Unleash your pleasures and fearless positions
Stand your ground
Obey your soul
Unleash your pleasures and fearless positions
Stand your ground
Obey your soul
You see, you see the crying eyes of diamond treaures
Beyond the crystal mind set gaze
See the child on fire trying
The child is crying the nights on fire
The child is crying the nights on fire
7. Ice, Water, Stream
Now I am steam
I am to water as droplets are to my soul
They take me to their water
Drown in your mortality
They take me to their water
Malcolm died
They take me to their water
Malcolm died and so will I
They tell me life is a game
You've got to live it well
They said that love is her name
They said she comes from hell
They said that love was her name
They said she comes from hell
Life, life, life, love
Life, love, life, love
Now I am steam
I am to water as droplets are to my soul
They take me to their water
Drown in your mortality
They take me to their water
Malcolm died
They take me to their water
Malcolm died and so will I
8. Autumn´s Here
Wake up my friend, time is on the rise
And you might find
A lonely place for no one
And you might find
A heart that never learned
And you might find
That everyone is judged by
The faces that he wears
Haven't we tried long enough
Haven't we cried long enough
Haven't we tried just a little too long enough
Open up your eyes and see
Summer's gone
Another season coming
Another friend is gone
One more spirit broken
Death has come, taken him away
The end is closer now
Less so than tomorrow
Just a little bit more than yesterday
Hear the day length whisper
Autumn's here
9. Hell´s Bravest Song
Piercing memories sit inside my brain
Reflections of a life of pain
Circumstantial Evidence aginst my defense
A crime never even done
Shoots an arrow towards the sun
To reach its point of no return
Only to burn
God I do not want to die
But I cannot live out this lie
This life of hate and deceit
Christ himself would not believe
Teaching children
Evolution, segregation, your religion
That they can die from their love
10. Airplanes
Airplanes falling from the sky
Where did they go
Look at the wars we fight
Television disasters
The fire grows
Consuming all with its
Unending lust for power
Vision sees through all the comfort money can buy
Leaving a mother to say, son I'm sorry about this world
I'm sorry about this world
Love flows just like water through our fingers
