1. Ghostly Chill
Let down your guard let your self down,
Downward spiral remembered
Nevermore to return just a reminder
Sinking feeling out of sync don't sacrifice your sense
Never doubted their existence and don'[t resist,
Let them pass on through, beware the beating heart,
The beating heart, the goose bumps
Brought by ghostly chill
Don't fear the dead, beware the living
Or you might get your fears answered
The Boogeyman brings a ghostly chill
Don't fear the dead beware the living
Fear not the ghost; they'll only toy with you
if you let them in
Just like the living in the flesh, taking life unsacred
Let them pass on through
Up all night, eyes wide open,
moonlit shadow of a figure
Why can't we make peace this night?
Boogeyman can if you let him in man
Every knock on the wall, every creep in the floor
Believe it man or begin your fall
Don't fear the dead beware the living
Or you might get your fears answered
The boogeyman brings a ghostly chill
Don't fear the dead beware the living
All alone with a ghostly chill, but don't resist
Let them pass on through,
Beware the beating heart, not the wandering soul
Or begin your fall
2. Seeping Shadows
I know it's just too painful, can't face another day
Tethered to your tragedy, you loaded mental bomb
Tortured soul through the glass you deceive them
You don't fool me-the mask you wear is all too clear
Electric shock therapy - we'll slight fry you till it stops
Electrify your energy - tortured soul let evil rot
Gray clouds follow you - make for your rainy day
Dark vibes seep from your body
When you're near they rain on me too
Seeping shadows, shed them - but not on me
Lay them to rest.
Cold and unforgiving, this test of will
Got you in a vice, constricting like a serpent
As you labor for breath, realize it worth the test
Electrify your energy - these seeping shadows
Dark clouds follow you.
Seeping shadows dark vibes follow
Seeping shadows dark clouds follow
Visions of Armageddon in your head
Make change the hand of fate
From the future foreseen
With the help of forces unseen
3. Cut You Loose
Oh better days beyond the gloom that lingers
Trust in your faith; believe in change your way
But I must leave you this
A one fingered salute
Just have to cut you loose
Isolation is cold; you kept us empty you know
You've got to know you did us wrong
Took advantage; dehumanized
Isolation is cold
I waited too long to be where I am
You kept us empty; we're starving for the truth
I cannot accept the shit you're trying to send
Tool of survival, tool of deceit
A simple gesture is the way it's got to be
I don't believe a thing that you say
Because your beliefs have crippled your brain
But shame on me, 'cause my conscious is in tow
And pardon me if I harden my heart
It took many years of conditioning
But you seem to think I need to be a martyr for you
Well I'm at peace with myself;
yes I'm at peace with myself
And it starts when I ct you loose
That's the way it's got to be
Is it right to leave you cold
Damn right we'll let it fold
Got to cut you loose
Freedom never felt so good
Got to cut you loose you loose you lose
Now we'll dawn our separate ways
With head high, I thank the heavens
Cutting ties was never so good
The mighty troll belongs on the other side
We'll cut the rope watch and wave good-bye
4. Osiris Be Thy Judge
Are you just an ornate statue, set before us all
To strike fear in our hearts by the mortal king
Osiris be thy judge
The sounds and smells of the ceremony
to summon your mighty spirit upon us
We've done your will - brought you offerings
laid before your image
I am the unbeliever, a skeptic at least
Going through the motions
To try and convince myself you're real
Osiris be thy judge
Does Anubis really hold the scale?
Recorded for admittance or denial in the underworld
Can I believe in this Edena fterlife?
Or will your promises be unfulfilled in death?
What's my reward for my high standing as noble man?
Osiris answer me!
Have you know of my inner thoughts against you
Yet you let me walk this earth and unbeliever
of this statue
But I still crave the afterlife, as does the slave
As does the pharaoh
My views would label me a heretic
Against the gods it's hard to believe
The unknown though your subjects ambition
Through enslavement of other men
Build these great pyramids
For these gods - unseen, unheard, unknown, oh no.
Osiris be thy judge
Does Anubis really hold the scales?
Recorded for admittance or denial in the underworld
I'd really like to believe you.
5. Foolish Hope
It was the worst of the worst, the best of the best.
But I hope we hit the bottom, yes we hit the bottom,
now rise.
From the bloodiest century
and the greatest discoveries
Allow my foolish hope,
to think it's more than just a number
Planetary ills, cyber thrills, longevity pills,
runaway technology
But if left to a guess, I'll guess more of the same
Vicious brutality, unimaginable technology
I hope that I'm wrong about the 21st century
Man has this ball of life entrusted in his hands
On top of the third millennium
Allow my foolish hope
To make believe it won't be more of the same
Technology and bloodshed
This ball of life left in our hands
Am I wrong to lose faith in man?
If at any time we should drop the ball
Have mercy on us all
Euthanized, soylent green, hiding under ground
hunted by ultra sound.
On top of the third millennium
Allow my foolish hope
To make believe it wouldn't be more of the same
Technology and bloodshed
This ball of life left in our hands
Am I wrong to lose faith in man?
If any time we should drop the ball
Have mercy on us all
Planetary ills, cyber thrills, longevity pills.
6. Once Beyond
The world's a crystal ball,
for those to see the mortal beings
Inside eyes the stars give us a place to dream
Angels whisper in my ears
They guide me through the night
The old man's wisdom is right
I feel like giving in
I'm passing through hell again
On my way to the stars
I am the alien
I will take you I will take you I will take you
This most euphoric feeling
I haven't left my chair
The milky ways' tranquil trance
I have to travel on
Oh oh oh oh
Call me on
Once beyond
The world's a crystal ball
for those to see the mortal beings
Inside eyes, the stars give us a place to dream
Angels whisper in my ears
they guide me through the night
The old man's wisdom is right - I feel like giving in
I'm going through hell again on my way to the stars
I am the alien I will take you I will take you
7. Madness Creeps
Savage instinct intelligence twisted, delusion settles in
Planted thoughts to justify and confuse,
reality briefly visits
Tormented and weakened by the urge,
lead by the hand of temptation
When Madness creeps
My days have thoughts of killing schemes
Nightmares filled with gruesome scenes
I feel this madness creeping in, I can't resist
Madness creeps slowly
My days have thoughts of killing schemes
Nightmares filled with gruesome scenes
I feel this madness creeping in, I can't resist
madness creeps madness creeps slowly
Gray matter blackens the question,
Am I too far gone?
Dark side hides in Lucifer's garden
Reality briefly visits again
But I'll take a dive before I'm hung out to dry
Will the vision of the sunset shore
Override the tide that swept me out to a sea of black
As madness creeps the vision fades away
When madness is written in your in your eyes
If you can see your own face in the mirror
Sanity returns willingly
Open yourself up to truth
I don't see the end for you
I see the real you
Stop this descent into madness
Open yourself to truth
I'm fighting for your life
8. Never Time
We need to think about it and listen to the rain.
Symbolic of our life now,
water rushing down the drain
We'll take on all creations - birds sing an ancient song
We'll ride on through the forest
-the mighty oak is king
We'll take it nice and slow 4x
I envision in my head, the way it ought to be.
They're speeding up our lives never taking time
(never time) 2x
We're victims of the system,
skyscrapers are the shrines
No time for peaceful living
Always focus on the race
I still see hope's horizon in the vision in my head
Travel like the air these words
Meant to help you live for granted they'll be taken. 2x
On and on and on
Never thought I'd make it through this time.
Never thought I'd own piece of mind, no lie.
Not willing to sacrifice my life
For the greater bottom line
Your due, your due your time in the sun
I envision in my head the way it ought to be
Travel like the air these words
meant to help you live, for granted they'll be taken
Speeding up our lives never taking time (never time)
9. Days of Nowhere
Quickly we move in from out of nowhere
Not knowing how we came to be
Just remembering days of nowhere
Found the magic or did the magic find us?
It doesn't matter because you paid your dues
Listen to the dragon's wisdom
Be humble - don't look in his eyes
Or return or return
It's only a short time that we walk this earth
Find the magic on your way
Just remember days of nowhere
Find the magic on your way
Find the magic
Letting good invade us
Don't settle for even the score
Instant gratification
In due time the skies will open
When it's meant to be
You'll see it's not magic after all
We lose our way muddle through another day
Find the magic when we lose our way
Just remembering days of nowhere
Find the magic on your way
Find the magic
Pull me through these days of nowhere
Pull me through these days of nowhere
Days of Nowhere
Quickly we move in from out of nowhere
Not knowing how we came to be
Just remembering days of nowhere
Found the magic or did the magic find us?
It doesn't matter because you paid your dues
Listen to the dragon's wisdom
Be humble - don't look in his eyes
or return or return
It's only a short time that we walk this earth
Find the magic on your way
Just remember days of nowhere
Find the magic on your way
Find the magic
Letting good invade us
Don't settle for even the score
Instant gratification
In due time the skies will open
When it's meant to be
You'll see it's not magic after all
We lose our way muddle through another day
Find the magic when we lose our way
Just remembering days of nowhere
Find the magic on your way
Find the magic
Pull me through these days of nowhere
Pull me through these days of nowhere
10. Undivine Intervention
Oh what comes to be - find yourself
in someone else's nightmare
Oh lack of humanity - but only humans
can cause this suffering
You, you'll take away this pain and leave this body free
You, you'll wipe away the stains
and cast away remains
This thing that's inhuman invites itself at will
Will it ever leave - will it ever leave
They can't make you do a thing
You totally own your deeds
It's undivine intervention
Undivine intervention, conjured by your own descent
You let them inside, but don't give them a place to hide
Oh fight the need, simple cancellation
of impulsive deeds
No you can't blame the hidden ones
You left yourself open and weak
You, you'll take away this pain and leave this body free
You, you'll wipe away the stains
and cast away remains
This thing that is human invites itself at will
But you've lost the will
Undivine intervention time to realize
you control own deeds
You let them inside but don't give them a place to hide
Go, come on, no, come, go, come, no, come
Yeah be gone
11. Reflections and Sighs
Begun again, after so long; it's begun again,
after so long
Now that I'm near you, reflections and sighs
We rest along the shore
Subtle waves they speak bringing us calm
Reflections and sighs, we pass the time away
So long, I've waited so long; to begin again
The minds ear listens to creations from the mind
Mysteriously triggering memories I thought were lost
Remember the ones we lost and the ones we have
Reflections and sighs the caroousel ride
Round and round it goes
I'm reminded of the meaning of life
Reflection and sighs 2x
We've wait so long, time has come for us
We've only just begun, the sighs of joy and confidence
Under your wings we'll fly
