Sea of hurt, I feel the waves of pain
And now the tide comes in again Caught in a vicious cycle of despair Give me the courage to face another day Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory I sighed and sighed as I was mourning I said sorry a thousand times I cried aloud to God for all my failings But God seemed deaf as well as blind Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn We shared our problems and our food Telling tales of courage and resolution Through all the hardships we'd endured Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory |

Bleak are the hearts in summer, long wintertme
We are god children running, immortal child Out on the chill horizon, shine morning stars Configurations I'll remember herald one season always Run, run, run, how we run We cry like children In wintergardens now. Run, run, run, how we run And play like children In wintergardens now. Cry for the pride in our wars, the tragedy Lost in this blinding frenzy, all knowledge fades. Crimes of humanity or courageous deeds? No longer see injustice in self destruction always. Visions of pna transforming, new heavens come Eternal are the grey skies, gardens invert Nightshades of Eden touch me, forever touch No god has answered prayers here (except ourselves). Run, run, run, how we run We cry like children In wintergardens now. Run, run, run, how we run And play like children In wintergardens now. |

In celebration of our feards And rumours circulating in the street The candle burns the world awaits We ask is this some kind of victory? Where is the dream, where is the sanity? As crying echoes down the corridors The child comes running to his mother's arms And all the things I hold so dear to me I love my wife, I love my family Raise up your heads and voices The promise of beyond With courage face the moment Remember who you are! A frightened people losing dignity The shadow of an island in their minds While fools are bent on making history With nothing gained, is this our destiny? |

On my way to Tiahuanaco Where the balance of a weeping god Faced east to the rising sun But I looked out the window And all I could see Was the face of a girl She was looking at me She was begging for food Then I knew I had found The weeping god In the face of a child As she gestures with her fingers Her little brother followed suit And all I did was take my camera So the image never fades away I no longer saw the great gate of the sun Nor the dawn of time when our race had begun Just black eyes like starving dogs looking at me A weeping god was all I'd ever see And as I sat in contemplation beyond all charity Losing the magic and meaning of living (the earth and the stars these things are mine) And when they've drained the earth of all resources We'll face the music still For you and I shall be striking memories In the thoughts of our children's children I had arrived at my destination At the gate of the rising sun We shall again regain in sunset that balance That we left undone I stared at the shacks and the shanty town mess I couldn't help but to think of the West The balance was lost and my reason went wild As the weeping god came alive in the child I began to weep And I remember the violation Determination came, Determination, Yeah! |

And Albion feels all abandoned A desecrated cenotaph - surveillance state and waning choices Guarded by warriors we knew Guided by our ancestral voices Let flags of black and red unfurl Echoes of distant laughter Confederation of the dispossessed Fearing neither God nor master Brother of this wretched man I heed your call - never giving in Watching from his perch bemused I see him now The spectre of the Raven King Forever in this moment Rejecting those who would control us Touched by a common genius All bound by fate and common purpose Brother of this wretched man I heed your call - never giving in Watching from his perch bemused I see him now The spectre of the Raven King All our lives transformed Touched forever more All connected All as one Spirit of resistance haunt us once again Your restless call for this defiance Let sorrow turn to anger in your name Carpe nocturna, seize the night now Brother of this wretched man I heed your call - never giving in Watching from his perch bemused I see him now The spectre of the Raven King |

And Albion feels all abandoned A desecrated cenotaph - surveillance state and waning choices Guarded by warriors we knew Guided by our ancestral voices Let flags of black and red unfurl Echoes of distant laughter Confederation of the dispossessed Fearing neither God nor master Brother of this wretched man I heed your call - never giving in Watching from his perch bemused I see him now The spectre of the Raven King Forever in this moment Rejecting those who would control us Touched by a common genius All bound by fate and common purpose Brother of this wretched man I heed your call - never giving in Watching from his perch bemused I see him now The spectre of the Raven King All our lives transformed Touched forever more All connected All as one Spirit of resistance haunt us once again Your restless call for this defiance Let sorrow turn to anger in your name Carpe nocturna, seize the night now Brother of this wretched man I heed your call - never giving in Watching from his perch bemused I see him now The spectre of the Raven King |

There was a rhyme that wasn't a rhyme
In a time that wasn't a time There was a place that wasn't a place There was a race that wasn't a race But I lived in a city no-one knew Thousands of people, indecisions Chained in by sorrow everyone Started to wonder how it all begun Waiting for leaders to lead them to pens Queues went for miles and millions to come Fall of because write us a few Friend kept complaining and joined the queue! Still was a place that wasn't a place Still a race that wasn't a race Had to find it, it wasn't 'round here Such a thought - a simple idea Long hall and benches, flesh on the spit Music was playing, wine to drink Women of scarlet, faces of flame Laughter and argue, ever the same |

Slowly, slowly all fall down
A blindfold dance and a 1,2,3 No mistake where they always emphasize security Draw the curtains, shut the door, the heater's on I couldn't ask for more I pull the sheets right overhead Snuggle, snuggle safe in bed Take the weight right off my shoulder Misery claims much too late Bow the head or grip the sabre Vermichten regenerate Bright eyed young inherit all Treading down upon the fallen They was drawn towards the Hum Plenty more where they come from. Slowly, slowly all fall down A blindfold dance and a 1,2,3 Swarm upset the gentle lamb A hive don't hold no humble bee! Slowly, slowly, out it came, Tendencies that weren't the same And they were drawn towards the Hum Plenty more where We come from. |

I here
I hear the calling Carry across the landscape I hear it echo from every city to every village upon the earth From every rooftop to every mountain Calling the faithful to find themselves A fire burning like precious water, the fire that drives me on and on Through hell I shall reach heaven I shall not resist the changes before me View the madness with perspective (the clock is ticking but time means nothing) So I ascend to the blinding light Then plummet to the thickest darkness (and I always tell myself how splendid is the adventure!) I can no longer see good or evil But worship polarity So do not trust the beggars that expose their poverty of spirit Bleating "I will follow" I heed I heed the calling Follow yourselves as leaders Arise, arise, stand upright and take pride in who and what you are Great changes are coming and you will be asked to identify yourself So run like a lion with inexhaustible strength from world to world Let your work shine unto the ends of time yeah unto the ends of time. |

Contract to contract And my stress levels rise This is a job for life (there are no jobs for life) I am forced to a decision I am forced to see the other side I can see a way out of here I can see a way out of here Placards of prophets And great leaders of men Personality cults All over again (but) we'll build shrines for our loved ones We'll burn fires and lights And we'll talk of the old ways To find new ways that might... ...they just might In the villages and hills On the tundra and ice To the forests of kauri In the paddies of rice By the lakes on the plains To the great mountain range Love the land and its people I can see a way out With the hours that we kill And the dreams that we hide Of alternative life styles This savage freedom i love |

Inocence will fade away like Autumn Likewise the dream of youth, the task And we shall be at peace upon our parting With the thoughts of loved ones in our hearts For sanity's sake, sanity's sake, sanity's sake For sanity's sake, sanity's sake, sanity's sake So let the sunrise light up the distnat shores And we'll remember last days of Rome again. |

The age of miracles, assent of man in strident tones
Realms of fantastic have been forged by folly speed and steel Out of the cones stream forth, creation is not yet complete New species come, old species fall to nature once again. Now that I've found god on every side - and in every legion Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon The shipyards blaze, vibrant arsenals wait their turn Idols of rational worlds to worship power, to worship strength Great crowds excited by riot, pleasure, work Insane crusades, destructive gesture of the freedom bringers And all the bells shall toll, as holy banners fly And all with talk of freedom Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon Let rage and hate of races run from Adam down The magic of our science shines brighter than a thousand suns Liberty in new dimensions ruthless and spectacular Obliteration shall be poetry of 'Golden Dwans' And as the people thrill, I stand and comprehend upon the threshold. Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon |

Realms of fantastic have been forged by folly speed and steel Out of the cones stream forth, creation is not yet complete New species come, old species fall to nature once again. Now that I've found god on every side - and in every legion Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon The shipyards blaze, vibrant arsenals wait their turn Idols of rational worlds to worship power, to worship strength Great crowds excited by riot, pleasure, work Insane crusades, destructive gesture of the freedom bringers And all the bells shall toll, as holy banners fly And all with talk of freedom Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon Let rage and hate of races run from Adam down The magic of our science shines brighter than a thousand suns Liberty in new dimensions ruthless and spectacular Obliteration shall be poetry of 'Golden Dwans' And as the people thrill, I stand and comprehend upon the threshold. Revolution Points of no return Evolution We cross the rubicon |

i heard the horn sound out the call
air began to shake because it's hunting time again senses start to wake so you get up on your feet and you gather into packs and then the packs become a horde then we all begin to laugh take my hand now - let's go find that place now - let's go let's make haste now - let's go because it's taking shape - new man come along instinct overtake singing as we go war machine inside push me further still so you get up on your feet and you gather into hordes eliminate the obstacle start to make your way then the clouds begin to move and my heart begins to pull because the lady's taking hold again i saw her taking shape where the old will always die when winter comes along and man shall fear the storm again all begin to move new man come along - go |

You're alone in the pack, you're feeling like you want to go home
You're feeling life's finished but you keep on going The reason is there, you won't find it till you've been and gone Because you're living a hoax - someones got you sussed! Dull your brain, or seek inspiration You peel illusion, and then you find its a transfer Drugs for the machine, to play with your head So you can stand back and watch, or take part and learn If you don't know the game, then you're still part of it Because out on the streets it's strange to see the show Knowing full well that you're on the range Dodge the bullets or carry the gun, the choice is yours Look at the controller, a Nazi with a social degree A middle-class hero, a rapist with your eyes on me You beast for masturbation, a priests cheer to the nuns you fuck You'd wipe out spastics if you had the chance but Jesus wouldn't like it |

I woke up in the darkness and i tried to see the clock
It was four a.m. I was curled up like a foetus and my muscles were stretched taut I couldn't face the burden of another week of worry I was broken I took a green and yellow pill. washed down with filter coffee 'til it kicked in Get me out Keep me up Level me out I was isolated by the way i thought and felt They saw my moodswings I travelled down the longitude of opposite emotions I bi-polar In the north they saw my upside. my excitable and optimistic spirit In the south they saw my anger and my tears and my despair They saw my moodswings Get me out Keep me up Level me out I was one of the prozac people I was one of the prozac people Don't monitor this guinea pig for research any more I will try again Pharmaceutical conglomerates just count me as a unit For their product Identify the enemy. remove the source of fear Start to change my life It's a false state of elation You can join the prozac nation If you want to Get me out Keep me up Level me out I was one of the prozac people I was one of the prozac people |

I feel this wave that is carrying me
And i'm unable to stop I stand outside of my body But it continues to walk Love me and touch me Your body my feast Torn between two sides of my nature Half god and half beast This hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best And when the animal takes hold feel forces outside my control And then my mind starts to work out What's going on While the knot in my stomach Is telling me something's wrong Yes it's all the pain that i'm feeling And the guilt that i hide Yes it's all the hurt that i caused you And all the tears that i've cried This hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best This craving comes and all i want is more - just a little bit more To be shameless is blameless if we be what we are If freedom is what i suspect Then tomorrow will jar against your conditioning This hunger in my flesh my instinct says it knows what's best But when the animal takes hold feel forces outside my control |

My values altered i was looking for peace
I was tired in the lands of the west. I had to get out I took a map, let the pendulum swing I wrote a note, took my prayer mat and left On a prayer and a wing And every moment of my life I dedicate to you And when i fear of falling I am in your hands Pilgrimage Through the archway in the city of light The procession began I heard their praises rise like incense to heaven I'd awoken from a long time ago I fell to my knees I kissed the ground then i started to cry And every moment of my life I dedicate to you And when i fear of falling I am in your hands Pilgrimage So wonderful I saw the merchants selling saffron and spice I felt acceptance for the fate of my life I was thirsty then i came to a spring I had to have faith I was hungry, you sent a stranger to me She shared out her food And every moment of my life I dedicate to you And when i fear of falling I am in your hands Pilgrimage |

She talks of supernatural aeons that we'll make
She says "look behind the wave of changes" feel the future taking shape I can see tomorrow I can see the world to come I can see tomorrow Hear the pandemonium I ask her of her next of kin and loved ones in her care She gestures all around her then she whispers "everywhere "There is no nuclear family required any more "My parents are the village and the village is the law" She said "unlearn you must forget the values that you hold "Life is not longevity and beauty is the only goal" Cymbals that crash and pipes of pan awaken from your trance There is no retribution here see how the heathen dance * extra lyrics -- singles only * The prisoner sat motionless, his cell was six by four. He walked to the horizon without walking through the door. We found ourselves converging as we walked towards the sun. Apart from all discussion, we were functioning as one. I can see tomorrow I can see the world to come I can see tomorrow Hear the pandemonium |
