"Requiem"



Man watching video
The heart keeps on ticking.
He doesn't know why
He's just cattle for slaughter.
The requiem
The requiem
The requieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem
When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there's nothing to say
When will they start plotting against you
The requiem
The requiem
The requieeeeeeeeeeeeeem
Only a hint of religion
Uncensored truths for the novelty.
the sound of breaking glass
this is a reflection

"Rubicon"

"Rubicon"



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 Dawns'
And as the people thrill, I stand and comprehend upon the threshold.

Revolution
Points of no return
Evolution
We cross the rubicon

"S.O.36"

"S.O.36"



One man limited room to think
move with the lines in soft fat red
phase one environment experiment
this is your city with miracles spent so dead
crime of flesh control is joyless
blue white shells will not grow to trees
phase one environment experiment
the smoke on the city with miracles spent so dead

"Sanity"

"Sanity"



All across the scenes the statues crumble
We cherished the seconds, counted the days
And people move with lines across their faces
Embracing each other with a smile

For sanity's sake, sanity's sake, sanity's sake
For sanity's sake, sanity's sake, sanity's sake

We'll remember distant times and places
We'll remember summer sun that yields
Shed our bodies heart and soul for love's sake
Civilizations wax and wane.

Innocence 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 distant shores
And we'll remember last days of Rome again.

"Savage Freedom"

"Savage Freedom"



It's the age of CVS
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

"Seeing Red"

"Seeing Red"



They're dropping bombs again
And they're doing it in your name
All the rational commentaries
In the papers that I read
Marmalade and buttered toast
And smell of Sunday roast
Kiss the arse of Uncle Sam
Oh to be an Englishman

When you hear the sound of warning
When the only colour is red
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing red

Dawn brings a day of hell
Hours that we pawn and sell
A single magpie in the tree
One for sorrow one for me
Kick it off the cliff I said
Now the line fucks up my head
Too late to change this mode

Break all my moral codes
When you hear the sound of warning
When the only colour is red
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing red

Running from myself again
And all I feel is shame
It doesn't matter where I go
Everywhere still looks the same
This sense of emptiness
As we create this mess
Self-destructive tendencies
Are what you mean to me

When you hear the sound of warning
When the only colour is red
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing red

"Slipstream"

"Slipstream"



Time means nothing
Time means nothing to me anymore
Twenty years ago
Twenty years ago and yesterday
All the same to me all the same to me
Yes all the same
Time means nothing
Time means nothing to me anymore

I shut my eyes a second ago
And I was only eight years old
Lying on my back in the sun
Listening to the sound of children playing
And I remember all my thoughts
(thinking how beautiful life was)
So wonderful to be young
So beautiful to be young
Remembering how, how to be young

One by one, all my friends died
And my body decayed
Time means nothing
Time means nothing to me anymore
I close my eyes, I was learning
A lesson somewhere else
I shut my eyes, I was learning
A lesson somewhere else
Time means nothing
Time means nothing to me anymore

Slipstream

Time means nothing to me anymore

"Solitude"

"Solitude"



Solitude, solitude
We come into this world alone
and to this place we return again
Far away in a quiet place
Try to think of an open space
I watch my life flash before me
Remembered friends that I love so dearly
And while a veil obscures my vision
I surrender to the will of God

I found peace, yes I found at last
All I see has been meant to be?
Down, down in the forest clearing
With a breeze blowing through the branches
And I breathe in and out so very slowly
It sends a shiver right down my spine
In the quiet I can come to terms with
all I've done and who I am
I turn and face the sun
Then all my troubles fall behind me like a shadow
In solitude
Solitude

"Song And Dance"

"Song And Dance"



All time was left behind
I made my way to the basic man assembly
Music filled the air and voices sing
And then the song became alive

Stick hit the skin - I hit the stick
And we've all been keeping time
And all the boys been playing the drums
Let's make our way to song and dance - continue
And then the song became alive - song and dance

I've seen a place - set in time
And pillars tall in my sight
Then I heard voices sing
Sweet in the air (they fell through)
Haunting you
And then the song became alive - song and dance

Ways we've lost come flooding back now
Then my ancestors awake
(then I forgot myself)
And in our joy they take their joy
And in their skills we take our skills
Then all the lines between are gone
Then all the lines between are gone

Stick hit the skin - I hit the stick
And we've all been keeping time
So all you boys keep playing the drums
Let's make our way to song and dance - continue
And then the song became alive - song and dance

Song and dance - let's make our way

"Stay One Jump Ahead"

"Stay One Jump Ahead"



Province, state and country
The great divide has come
Ten percent shall prosper
To them the kingdom come

I can see trends behind trends
I can see

Jack has bought a business
Pete inherits home
Jill has got a trust fund
They've all been buying fun

I can see trends behind trends
I can see
Stay one jump ahead

Jack's alright he's a predator
He'll give you three good reasons that'll change your mind

1) You can't afford the B.U.P.A. health scheme
So when you get sick you're going to die

2) You can't afford to buy your own property
So when the rent goes up then you're on the street

3) You can't afford the bills and pills you need
You've got to get them cause they're going to get you

Anger is your friend now, resentment is the key
Patience as a virtue so be accessary
Or you can always be a victim
A victim of the circumstance if you like?
Stay one jump ahead
