"The House That Pain Built"

"The House That Pain Built"



My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
And my blood
Oh why, why, wild insane

My faith (faith)
And my people
We'll howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
And my freedom
I'll never let it go again

Not any more
I must let go
And when I finally reach the point of no return
I must let go
Because I know
I'm manic, I'm manic, I'm manic, so...

And when you need catharsis (yes)
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)
Yes my own will
Oh, see me through this pain

My faith (faith)
In my blood
And flow right through my vein

My faith (faith)
And no reason
I'll never be the same

Not anymore
I must let go
And when I finally reach the point of no return
I must let go
Because I know
I'm manic, I'm manic, I'm manic, so...

And when you need catharsis (yes
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

My faith (faith)
And my love
But howl, howl, howl the pain

My faith (faith)
And my freedom
I'll never let it go again

Not anymore
I must let go
And when I finally reach the point of no return
I must let go
Because I know
I'm manic, I'm manic, I'm manic, so...

And when you need catharsis (yes)
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

And when you need catharsis (yes)
Because it's how you're made, you know (yes)
And when you need absolving (yes)
Don't ask how
But come into my house...
Of pain

"The Hum"

"The Hum"



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.

"The Lightbringer"

"The Lightbringer"



The rebellious spirit in you and me
The lightbringer

Which intelligence gave geometry,
binary system, complex cycles of astronomy?
Number, proportion, measurement, light,
angle, mathematics - all appeared overnight!

Darwin's evolved chimpanzee (lies!)
Designed and built the pyramids honestly (lies!)
You're asking me to wager my soul (lies!)
On that which I doubt the most (lies!)
That the virgin mary was impregnated by the ghost (more lies!)

The rebelious spirit in you and me
The lightbringer

Who could cut with laser precision,
make perfect incision into the hardest rock?
Who could lift one block of stone that weights four jumbo jets?
Yes, your intuition will tell you best

Darwin's evolved chimpanzee (lies!)
Designed and built the pyramids honestly (lies!)
You're asking me to wager my soul (lies!)
On that which I doubt the most (lies!)
That the virgin mary was impregnated by the ghost (more lies!)

Liberator, oh enlightener - Come!

The rebellious spirit in you and me
The lightbringer

Who is the symbol of the serpent snake?
Who gave us knowledge of medicine?
Who knew precisely the earth diameter?
Who modified our bestial character?

Darwin's evolved chimpanzee (lies!)
Designed and built the pyramids honestly (lies!)
You're asking me to wager my soul (lies!)
On that which I doubt the most (lies!)
That the virgin mary was impregnated by the ghost (more lies!)

Civilizer
Initiator
Liberator
Oh, enlightener
Come!

"The Pandys Are Coming"

"The Pandys Are Coming"



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

"The Raven King"

"The Raven King"



The raven's flown and left the tower
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

"The Wait"

"The Wait"



Motives changing
Day to day
The fire increases
Mass decay
I look at the river
White foam floats down
The bodies poisoned
Gotta sit tight

The wait

After awakening
The silence grows
Screams subside
Distortion shows
Mutant thought
Of bad mouthed news
It's just another birth
Of distorted views

The wait

"This Tribal Antidote"

"This Tribal Antidote"



Lift up your spirits!

Too much pain and suffering, crying
Too many funerals, we know the earth is dying
Gatherers, celebrants, in a state of merriment
This sickness - cleanse us with fire and music

This tribal antidote my choice
Come to the great assembly, revelry, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice

Not a concert, show or entertainment
A temple, a ritual, a festival of dissent
Kindred spirits exchange and listen
We share in common different value system

This tribal antidote my choice
Come to the great assembly, revelry, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice

This tribal antidote my choice
Come to the great assembly, revelry, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice

Church of liberty, you'll never take this from me
Barter, no money, I don't suffer from spiritual poverty
Economic slavery, come back with bravery
Here is a sanctuary we'll get away from all this

This tribal antidote my choice
Come to the great assembly, revelry, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice

This tribal antidote my choice
Come to the great assembly, revelry, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice

"This World Hell"

"This World Hell"



Everybody's keeping quiet
Why has it come to this?
They're using food as a weapon
Black blood, rage in the streets

This world hell. Die, long pig!

The iron hand of man is rising
And a concrete fist is calling
And an evil moon is rising
I am choking with disgust

This world hell. Die, long pig!

Draw them in with words of honey
No more pain of debts
Let us all return to nature
And we'll share out all the spoils

This world hell. Die, long pig!

And you'll never ever get to see heaven...

"Tiahuanaco"

"Tiahuanaco"



I was a tourist in the Andes
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!

"Tomorrow's World"

"Tomorrow's World"




Picture - sent back live
Picture - the golden age
Letter - on your doorstep
Called up - for your country

Never no I don't wanna - no

Horror - don't let me go on
Mommy - they'll take his pain away
Carry us - face the music
Called up - for your country

Never no I don't wanna - no

Take - aim - and - fire
