STEEL PROPHET LYRICS
"Continuum" (1996 EP)
1. Death
2. Unconscious Man (Walks Erect)
3. Life
4. Environmental Revolt
5. Sungazer
1. Death
Death rides and the old man cries, where on earth can we hide?
This transformation he fears, he knows not where he'll end
Will he burn in hell and rot, damned for eternity
Or will he re-incarnate once more and face this life again?
Chorus
Metamorphosis, a necessary transformation
A halfway point 'tween dusk and dawn
Death comes and the wise man sings
A glorious day has arrived
This transformation he welcomes
He'll fly to the other side
He knows he'll not rot in the crypt
Worm food for eternity
Death is not the end he knows
But a time when the soul is free
Chorus
Cast In The Abyss what waits for thee?
New life beginning or re-incarnate eternally?
Will you find the answer before your time?
You're on your way, don't know what you'll find
The gods have your answers but they're not in your mind
Swers before your time?
You're on your way, don't know what you'll find
The gods have your answers but they're not in your mind
2. Unconscious Man (Walks Erect)
Preying on scared rabbit glared in the eyes
Twisted shreds of fabric, cold glare when it's done
sometimes I think I'm the same, but I'm not
If they had their way you'd be just drops of fluid
But who are they to judge you the unconscious masses
You will enter voids of penultimate storms
Talons of energy remake a new form
Nothing is remembered on the surface you've escaped but paid
Father beats and rapes you in innocence
Hands and knees face down the taste you spit
The taste you spit, don't become again
One more try to walk erect, the candle flickers
The storm pursues, the wax burns your face
triumph atop a wave that descends
a steadily rising curve we've all won
3. Life
Life ever changing it's hidden reality
But then in a moment we see
Is this just a shadow
Of the spirit planes we've yet to see
Lord come soon for me
If I was once in heaven
Who cast me to this hell?
Am I a fallen angel, a coin in the
Bottom of a wishing well?
I know that life's a gift
A shadow of the spirit plane
But my flesh is weak and the
World would have my spirit break
Life is pure beauty
Through eyes we see
But the Kal force
Has power of flesh lust and greed
The power to guide it
We can't control
We can be in it, but only through soul
Innocents born from heaven learn life's reality
Through choosing Christ's spirit we're free
If you can find heaven on this earthly plane
Your soul is mature may fly home again
Your task is complete your spirit now pure
Leave planet hell from satan's lure
But if you're still a prisoner to the pleasures of your flesh
Relive this carnal death
Life everlasting though the body soon must cease
Through soul find eternal peace
Life isn't over though the body's met it's fate
Spirit burns, it's never too late
Life did you make it all it could be ?
Fates warning was never heard,
Though tongues of fire spoke his word
You were a fool
4. Environmental Revolt
We the people of this decimated planet called earth
For twenty years have reaped only still birth
My veins reflecting earth's rivers
Filled with poison life they cannot support
People of all races on this planet know economic crash will mean so much woe
Corporations in states of denial scream "our system's good pollution is not what it seems"
But like all revolution before the throng of justice will break down the door
People pleading reform are just the calm before the storm
Chorus
Stand up for life of the future
Destroy the way that's ruined us
Bring environmental killers to trial
End their reign with a smile
Inventions coming onto the scene
Their effects on health remain to be seen
But once profit begins to flow
Corporate vultures seize the control
Once jobs and livelihood is on the line
They rope you into their clutches like swine
Revolutions gone down the drain
Work for them you're just a pawn in their game
Then they tell you cut back conserve
Our way can live if our rules you observe
But you know the whole system's decayed
To the corporate god our leaders have prayed
Chorus
So you wonder what to do
Their elections offer no one to you
You arm yourself to destroy them
The thought of bloodshed leaves doubt
Chorus
They endorse the death penalty but abortion is a crime
Drugs that make you happy are not to be used
But it's okay for profit to put poison in our food
A system for the futures death our governments the crime
5. Sungazer
Sungazer look to the sky
Seeking truth will you ever learn why
Your vision's lost from the light of the sun
As you bask in the hellish light of the sun
Sings praises to his star of doom
The light that cast him to his darkened tomb
What was the path of that light he seeks
A flaming sphere that brought him to his knees
Sungazer ride though the planes of your mind
Seeking truth even though you are blind
Was your truth the one that was real
Or is illusion the force you feel
Sungazer - You live your life out for the sun
Sungazer - You've Feelings of love for no one
Sungazer - Forsees and predicts his own doom
Sungazer - Your place is by the moon
Sungazer look to me eyes
The planest turn, do you feel all the lies
Is the flesh one with the soul
Are both forces one in control
You feel the warmth but cannot see the light
Set for good but you know not wrong from right
Your weary journey treads the narrow path
Your site is gone, so sad it doesn't last
Sungazer feel the sun's force
You've looked too long opon its source
Cry your tears but you shouldn't weep
Locked in the land of eternal sleep
Sungazer - You live your life out for the sun
Sungazer - You've Feelings of love for no one
Sungazer - Forsees and predicts his own doom
Sungazer - Your place is by the moon
Sungazer (x3)
