300 years beneath the ice
They were the best time of your life
I watch, disheveled and debased,
The last two members of the race
And given time and oxygen
They can begin the earth again
In answer to their masters' call
They built the towns they built the walls
Cults are chanting in the night
Say you have the second sight
A world of ghosts without the sun
Who will not rest until it's done
Echoes of human sacrifice
Just say the incantation twice
And through the emptiness I roam
Start a religion of my own
I set the villages ablaze
Just want to hear them sing my praise
Cults are chanting in the night
Say you have the second sight
World's a stage so take a bow
Your powers can destroy me now
Step out of the dirty light
(Aeons in my mind)
Watch the fires reignite
(Species intertwined)
Cut down the forbidden tree
(Neon in the sky)
On your knees now pray to me
(Under my third eye)
Cults are chanting in the night
(Aeons in my mind)
Say you have the second sight
(Species intertwined)
World's a stage so take a bow
(Neon in the sky)
Your powers can destroy me now
(Under my third eye)

Will of the Beast

No matter what you tell me
I can guarantee I've heard it all before
Built my house in the forest
Gave up TV, became a herbivore
Now I understand the pleasures of a primitive man
Feel peace like only a hermit can
I destroy everything that I don't understand
Pray to the river gods that
The current doesn't take me back in time
Back to the days before I
Could see the burning light of the divine
I could tell you that I'm sorry but that wouldn't be right
Ever since the day I saw the blinding light
I've never met an animal I didn't like
No seer or fortune teller
Could imagine all the visions that I've seen
I never thought that I'd live
To see a man turn into a machine
I feel a funny feeling when I look to the east
A pulse through my fingers and my leathery feet
I offer up my body to the will of the beast
Pray to the forest spirit
That the darkness doesn't swallow up my mind
I wield the pulsing power
Of all the creatures of the woods combined
I promise I won't rest til my soul's untied
I can't help but feel the way I feel inside
I see it on the beach in the changing tide

Golden Tombs
03:09
|

Inside of my rib cage
A heartbeat of pure rage
And what will you find there
The creature from my nightmare
A culture of no shame
A man there with no name
They told me they'd stone me
The one and the only
Gods on high
Tell me why
Destruction of all trust
The settling of all dust
I leave them behind me
The bones that once defined me
They asked me: are you mad?
The best drug that I've had
The water can't drown me
And fish swim around me
Gods on high
Tell me why
Golden tombs
Poison fumes

A thousand years of winter
And when the sun is finally back
I can't remove the splinter
Because my teeth are painted black
A river here, an ocean there
Unchosen waters frozen
I'd like to rule the ice age
Where no one’s young and no one’s old
Take my place on the white stage
I walked for miles through hellish cold
A shelter here, a fire there
Conclusion or delusion?
Cold kiss, not a thing I miss,
Seeing out my days in the sweet ignorance of bliss,
Cold kiss, never dreamed of this,
I'm losing all my memories, no time to reminisce,
They're burning effigies of me
I know just what I want to be
As I answer the call of the ice age
My mother was a human
Before the world became so cool
She smoked a dozen Cubans
Before she picked me up from school
Will you survive when I'm not there
I wander through the thunder
The dogs will pull me onward
Across the bridge of frozen sea
I listen for the song bird
That sound says it's too late for me
And no one cares when no ones there
Beholder for the soldier

Burnt Shadows

She lived on an island
Must'a run much faster than I ran
Thought about it decided
Tattooed on the back of her eyelids
Her lips parted, She called out
Skin burning from the nuclear fallout
Moon shining, All morning
We all want to die in the place we were born in
And now the day has come
And we're feeling dumb
They all turned to ash
In a blinding flash
Cross the road now, feeling run down
Stick it out until I see the sun down
No money, graverobbing
It's hard to think when your brains still throbbing
And now the day has come
And we're feeling dumb
They all turned to ash
In a blinding flash
And ever since they're gone
Don't know what's going on
True leaders get their kicks
Turning the world to shit
On the move now, feel danger
Not safe in a world of strangers
Laying low now, sick'a waiting
It's hard to decide when your brain's mutating
Went back there, the rubble
Prick my ears to hear the signs of trouble
The site of containment
Another black shadow burnt into the pavement

Love in Toxic Wasteland
03:13
|

Woke up on the table
Feel like a bee in a wasp’s nest
My bodies willing and able
Monkey sitting on my chest
Busted out of my cage
Pistol in my right hand
Creature on the rampage
Love in toxic wasteland
Don't wanna be despised
Wanna be despised
Wanna be despised
Wanna be despised
Look in my red eyes
Look in my red eyes
Look in my red eyes
So many hows and whys
Don't wanna be despised
Look in my red eyes
Fall in love with the creature inside
Now I can't stop scratching
My mind is infested
Now the beast is hatching
Solitary and detested
Don't wanna do violence
I wanna live in the screen
To hear the sound of silence
Holy Ghost in the machine
Please be alive with me
Command you to abide with me
In a place where there is no one
A twisted a holiday in the sun
Voice in my subconscious
If I'm even conscious
Something living inside of me
From the day I got high on tv
