1. Garden of Grey
When the moon is high across the garden
That's when I'll come to you
When the nightshade blooms in your eyes
Let my sin pour in you
When the forest sings like an angel's choir
I'm coming nearer
I want to feel your flesh enrapture me
And live the politics of ecstasy
In the garden there is no fear
In the garden of gray we can disappear
In the garden where I can feel
In the garden, to touch you is so surreal
If the moon should pour out of the sky
And fill your livid pools
If you lay your hands on me gently
You won't be misconstrued
When you feel the shiver of lust grow deeper
I'm coming for you
I want to feel my senses sing to me
You are the music in my ecstasy
I want to love you in the garden of gray
Where we can stop the time and drink the ecstasy
And when it's done, just traces of the glow
The sparkle in your eyes is ecstasy
2. The Dreaming Mind
3. The Hurting Words
Sometimes it's so hard to show the way you feel
Sometimes it seems like the words aren't real
Sometimes it makes no difference what you're trying to say
When all the words come out wrong anyway
I've said too many words to catch them all in time
I've used the hurting words that took away your shine
Sometimes you can't keep from falling in
Obscuring waters, against the stream we swim
Sometimes I feel like drowning just to make you say
All of the words you never want to say to me now
I've said too many words to catch them all in time
I've used the hurting words that took away your shine
I've said too many words to make you, make you understand and see
There's far too many things that you and I can't say
Sometimes it's so hard to show the way you feel
Sometimes you know the words you say aren't real
Sometimes I hate myself for hating things in you
And there's no words to heal, heal all my wounds now
4. The World Unborn
5. The Sorrowed Man
Take me away to the quiet place
Where the doors of perception open wide
Smiling faces greet me there
Loved and lost, lost inside
Take me away to the netherworld
Where we dance in the waves, the universe shines
The place that holds my beautiful dream
When I awake, I look to the sky and
Pray that I will live forever
The sorrow man will not be me
Today I'll change my life forever
For what I've seen must surely be
Fly me away on the wings of a dove
To the temple of knowledge we can fly
Smiling inside, peace so clear
One with the all, one within mind
Fly me away to a better world
Where there's no more war and can be no shame
The place that holds the great mystery
When I awake, I look to the sky and
Pray that I will live forever
The sorrow man will not be me
Today I'll change my life forever
For what I've seen must surely be
Here I am, body and soul
Flesh and blood, on this stage I play my role
No, there's no time left for gazing at the sky
No, there's no time left, kiss the wind goodbye and
Pray that I will live forever
The sorrow man will not be me
Today I'll change my life forever
For what I've seen must surely be
In the eyes of the sorrowed man...
6. The System is Failing
The System is failing
The common man
Well the rich get richer
It's a part of the plan, yeah!
Paranoia that's the government
It's our only source of our discountence
The System is failing
For you and me
The game spirit
Just God could misguide Cain, yeah!
Brutality is what the nations saw
Doling me doesn't help at all
Wake up!
Chorus:
The System is failing
Justice is burning
The people are calling for order
The System is failing
The common man
With crimes are showing even on TV
You can beat the system
Disgrace meet penury, yeah!
Insanity with an evil past
In deepest chaos you forgot our past
That gotta bit the crime
Repeat Chorus
The System is failing
The common man
I won't be untold
I will follow the plan
Adolph before me, poison survive
The victim of feelings
laughing behind the door
Paranoia, that's the government
It's our only source of our discountence
Repeat Chorus
7. Matricide
Hear our Mother crying in silent tears
For she can't speak, she only cries She cries to me
Draw the final curtain, for senseless thoughts
And senseless hands have shaped the future
Is it not what you thought would come?
Or maybe people no longer care for Mother Earth
Earth Mother is screaming, we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
Feel our
Mother nurture, for we are the children
Suckling at her breasts she gives us life, she give us all we need
What do we give in return for life we take from her?
Oh, forgive us Mother, forgive us
For we know what we do We've blistered and burned you
Our kind may soon be through, we've raped you Earth Mother is screaming,
we can't live without her
No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway Earth Mother is screaming,
we can't live without her No time left for dreaming here, she knows
Have we forgot our future?
Earth Mother, life giver, we can't live without her
So foolish, men who say they don't care
They'll be gone anyway
Think of our little ones,
for whom the world has just begun....
8. Godmoney
Hey, just what have you become
With a cash vindication
Do you think that buys salvation's end?
Do you see through me?
I'm the plastic face on you screen
Mind control
They say that we're in the final days
Religion is power
Because most of us feel like rats in a maze
Do you worship me?
I'm a bastard saint, I'm a sycophant
A parasite that lives for just one goal
Mind control
Send your money to Jesus Christ
Mail order your eternal life
Bend your mind, make you turn around
Don't believe it when they tell you
That eveng god needs money
God needs money from you
Shame can't even make them learn
They feed off the weak
And if there's a hell they're gonna burn
On your screen they worship me
I'm a bastard saint, I'm a sycophant
A parasite that lives for just one goal
Mind control
Hey, just what have you become
With a cash vindication
Do you think thy buys salvation's end?
Do you see worship me?
I'm a bastard saint of the color green
