"Stand"

"Stand"


Some may sever
Some may never
Some may take their needs then go
Some find heaven
In sevens and elevens
Some may chase the even flow
But
Some may never some may never even know

Some may leave us
Take us or leave us
Some must face their fears to grow
Some mind heaven
Through sevens and elevens
Some must taste their heathen glow
But
Some may never
Some of you will never even know

Ready?

I've come face to face with myself, man
Sanctify the early light just like the old man can, boy
Change the world? you better change yourself man, boy man
Challenge the mind to be more like the rolling ocean man

And burn!

Burn!

Thou now behold us
The souls of those who anger overcame
Thou now behold us
The souls of those who anger overcame

Some find Jesus
Some may never even stand!

Stand!

I will not, I will not go!
(I want to know why we are metal)
I will let, I will let go!
I I I I I
(Harmony, harmony walk to war)

I stand!

Stand!

I will let go! I will go!

I fall now I'm letting go
I call tonight, I'm letting go
I crawl but now, I'm letting go
I fall tonight I'm letting go
I'm letting go
I'm letting go
(I will let go babe)

To thine own selves be true show me
I'm not afraid
I know myself
Show yourself!

Do not pretend to know there's never a time but now
And I will never back down, do you hear me?!

I stand!
Stand!
(No more hate, no more hate!)
Stand!

I will not, I will not go!
(I want to know why we are metal)
I will let, I will let go!

I will let go!

Fall out, then fall back in line shut it!

"Stars"

"Stars"


I can see you in the stars tonight
Lost in love and light
Hear this call
As they witness the immortal rise
Lost as love arrives
Hear this call

Anticipation of the morning comes again
We fear all through the night till the morning comes
Then we fear the light

But stay the course
You've stayed through worse
Or just stay because you said you would

Anticipation of the evil inside that never arrived
And ill feed it again, the fire burning inside

I can see you in the stars tonight
Lost in love and light
Hear this call
As they witness the immortal rise
Lost as love arrives
Hear this call

Warrior, warrior
Ways began the way, the ways began the way
Warrior, warrior

I can see you in the stars tonight
Lost in love and light
Hear this calling
As they witness the immortal rise
Lost as love arrives
Hear this call

"Storm"

"Storm"


If you wanted to
Say you wanted to
If you wanted to save the world
Where could you start? How could you start?
If you wanted to feel like I feel...like I feel, oh

You're running dry
I'm flying high
We're running on feel

You wanted to be
What you've never been before
We worked hard for a living
We worked hard for it all
You run and hide,
Don't run and hide
I'm starting to feel OK
But I'm wasted
And I'm failing
Oh, Tracy please
Can't you see?
It's just me
I wanted to feel
What I've never felt before
I was tired of the living
I was tired of it all
Time, time...it's only...time
If we wanted to
Say we wanted to
If we wanted to save our world
I'm waiting here, waiting
Waiting here baby, please
Stay with me
We wanted to be
What we've never been before
But are we tired of the living?
Are we tired of the war?

"Stormbending"

"Stormbending"


Time is a human construct, and you were below the waves
Time after time, July was in her eyes
But you lie, you lie to your soul
Your soul... Let it fly
I remember the rainy days in Chinatown
Oh, I hope you'll be ok
Time after time, July was in her eyes
But you lie, you lie to your soul...
All we're offering is a change to be loved

"Suicide"

"Suicide"


Three hour suicide
To get me out of here
Ih-ah, in three years, "Decide" is all I'll ever hear
Death of God
Death of feeling anything at all
All my life this is understood
Wasting my time like you knew that I would... knew that I would
So I hide my internal suicide
All my pride just to keep it inside
Keep it inside boy
Suffer...
All my life this is understood
Wasting my time like you knew that I would… knew that I would
So I hide my internal suicide
All my pride just to keep it inside... keep it inside
Ten thousand lies
Ten thousand lies

"Sumeria"

"Sumeria"


I have never know her love and I will never hold my child
I will never know the family and now it's over father!
For me!

Oh! what do we know? about sacrifice and self control?
Oh! we do not know... 'cause we are animals
Animals!
Instinctual!

Free my heart, my intergalactic part!

No!

Hey through anger, we hunger for god
Hey now, through anger we hunger for god

Shower the world where it's trying to be
How the memories have taken a leave
Now they're here and they're lying to me!
Accountable man, nothing is free

Free!

My soul!
Love, love me... love, love me... love, love me! love!
Drink soma

Honor!

I know why, I know what we came for

So much that I want to know!

I've come down!

Channelling the mind of a collective unconscious
Their passionate ways culled to market thy name!
One! (god!)
Say no more! (down!)
Why have you? (fall!)

Venture in, barter faith for the everyman!
Till the manna calls for our lives and our fears!
All will rule on mind command
And this mind commands

Love and acceptance!

I know why, I know what we came for!

So much we need to learn!

Honor!

Be free, my heart... my intergalactic part!

Call now to the worlds of old!
All shall be free!

Shower the world where it's trying to be
How the memories have taken a leave
Now they're here and they're lying to me!
Accountable man, nothing is free

Forever!

Hey through anger, we hunger for god (sumeria!)
(Known in my day...)
Hey now, through anger we hunger for god

Sumeria!

Cold, we mirror the I, have all come to rise when souls cry?
The old man is so proud tonight
In the fields of the earth
Choral lines, July in the birth throes of light never die... never lie
Lie
Sane, pray for where our hearts lead us now

"Sunday Afternoon"

"Sunday Afternoon"


Dream on
(Dream on, dream on...)
Dream another way
'Cause I know
(I know, I know...)
When the wind blows your name
It's a shame
Things are strange but that's OK
On a rainy Sunday afternoon
In your place
In our place
In the swarm
So from the great plains
From the void

I will wait for you
I!
I will wait for you
I will!
I will wait for you
I will wait alone

Ain't it strange?
People change but that's OK
It's another night here, and all I'm thinking about is you
In your place
In our place
In the swarm
So from the great plains
From the void
Yeah, from the deep field
From the void

I will wait for you
I!
I will wait for you
I will!
I will wait for you
I will wait alone

"Sunmud / Woman"

"Sunmud / Woman"


I watch you
In my silence
I was you
Last grey morning
I want you
And I cast you
And I face disaster
I ask you, being man
I have less use for dignification I know
In myself, I defy
Yet I fall to instinct primitive
Am I here?
Is this home?
Better run from myself, better run
I want you
Silently forgiven
I want you
The pain bestowed
I feel a change in the air
Outstretched to God
He fields the suffering
A feeling close to me, who closes in?
I knew I didn't have to go
Feeding stop the hunger flat, low, living
Caution for a lunatic
Left her behind, god-damnit
She didn't have the luck to follow
Well here's a little lie about the man she stole away
'Night within a soul cries 'hallelujah' when your drowning
Once, fast below, woman... It's fault is not your own
And as you are to my world, my world shall always be to you
You fucker...
Feed me...
I want you

"Sunshine And Happiness"

"Sunshine And Happiness"


Say you never needed me to warm you
Say you never needed it at all
Say that when you're warm under the covers
Say you never think of me at all

She's a girl, not a lady
I'm delayed by the weight of the world
If you say it's up to me to make the call
Well I would say sunshine and happiness for all

Baby when I tell you that I want you
'Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah!'
As the days roll by and the reasons why still never seem quite clear
'Doo wop boddy, doo wop boddy bow... hooray!'

She's a girl, not a lady
I'm delayed by the weight of the world
If you say it's up to me to make the call
Well I would say sunshine and happiness for all

Sunshine and happiness for all...

"Supercrush!"

"Supercrush!"


So the time is right
So tell me if you wanna
You should change it if you're gonna
But I don't really know how
I've already tried
Involve

I don't want to save my soul now
I don't want to lose control
And even if it takes a lifetime to learn
I'll learn

Don't fall in line
If you're thinking that you're gonna
You should maybe think about a
Reason in your own mind
You've already gone
Evolve

I don't want to save my soul now
I just want to lose control
And even if it takes a lifetime to learn
I'll learn
We learn

Here's our defence
Heroes left you to die
You left me to die

I don't want to save my soul now
I don't want to lose control
So even if it takes our lifetime to learn
I'll learn
We all learn
