"Struggle"

"Struggle"



Understanding the meaning of struggle
Giving your whole life to a single passion
Which others may or may not
Consider obsolete

Like a rare flower
Seen by a few before it withers and dies
(before it withers and dies)
Seeing it all
All the way through the very end
Regardless

A full stop followed by an exclamation mark
Written in your flesh and blood
Getting knocked down every time
Getting knocked down every moment
you get up - until you love getting up

I know what you've been going through
I've been there too
God knows I've been pushing hard Pushing so damn hard -
I've forgotten what the hell I'm even -
Pushing for
Recognize it when it happens to you
Learn to recognize it and know what to do
Stop clinging on, let go, own nothing
Do it out of love
Do it out of love

Words cannot substitute
Losing everything
Losing your home
Losing your money
Your dignity
Losing your mind - your beliefs, ideals
Then and only then
When everything is gone
You no longer care
Your soul standing naked and bare
Stripped down to the truth
Then you'll find everything
On heaven and earth
On heaven and earth
On heaven and earth

The struggle is long
The struggle is hard
The struggle is beautiful

"Sun Goes Down"

"Sun Goes Down"


We watch them going nowhere, kicking the football
No purpose...(the point boys[?]) in oblivion
Or play games so child-like...they want to win
Look out my windowsill watch bloodshed

We watch the sun go down
We watch the sun go down...down...

Sleeping dogs always lie...stay sleeping
(To panic...they play so[?])...stay sleeping
Look out my windowsill watch wastelands
Look out my windowsill watch bloodshed

We watch the sun go down
We watch the sun go down...down...

We watch them going nowhere, kicking the football
No purpose...(the point boys[?]) in oblivion
Or play games so child-like...they want to win
Look out my windowsill...a man went mad

We watch the sun go down
We watch the sun go down
We watch the sun go down
We watch the sun go down...down...

"Tabazan"

"Tabazan"



I've tried to understand the ways of men they taught me
They've lost their values as we define a wealth
Semen and blood is all I've got, investments of a future
I'm searching for a new gold yes I'm searching for a new gold

A voice is calling
Move closer to you - yeah

Virile young men run down the street in havoc singing
"I wish to build, I penetrate, I penetrate"
Restricted sexuality gives birth to worlds of terror
And all the time I'm trying to piece new schemes together - help me

Architects erect erections, monoliths are raised
I love the swollen mound I love the swollen mound
All hail the new seed breeding from our hearts and wombs

And night and day run round in circles following sex instinct
Push it between her legs and stretch the lips mother relieve me
Bodies entwined in human tangle at the point of climax
Shoot forth the new gold and at last reason makes perfect sense

I'm shooting, shooting forth
I'm shooting forth the new gold now - ha!

"Tension"

"Tension"



Sitting in my armchair thinking again and again and again
Going round in a circle i can't get out
Then i look around thinking day and night and day
Then you look around - there must be some explanation
And the tension builds

Take advantage - let nothing be fantasy
How do you grow as you stunt your growth?
Nothing you say makes sense anymore
Then you look around - there must be some explanation
And the tension builds

Sitting in my armchair thinking again and again and again
Going round in a circle we can't get out
Then i look around thinking day and night and day
Then you look around - there's nothing left to say
And the tension builds!

"The Beautiful Dead"

"The Beautiful Dead"



The crowd was one (oblivion ran deep)
A consciousness of cannon-fodder walking in its sleep
Vacant expressions (and don't look ahead)
Everybody dance with the beautiful dead I said!

All queue up and gravel for a hit
Someone pulls the reins then you chew at the bit
Encouraged by commercials to spend beyond my means
I laughed as it all fell apart at the seams

(Hey! Take a look at tomorrow)

But will I inherit the good green earth?
Such a lovely world

All mod-cons there was dust on the drums
My electronic beat-box got the job done
Everybody emulate the pulse of the soul
And change your clothes (to make you feel old)
Effort and sweat was a thing of the past (they said!)
Welcome to the world of the beautiful dead

"The Calling"

"The Calling"



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.

"The Death & Resurrection Show"

"The Death & Resurrection Show"



Mark out the points
Build the pyre
Assemble different drummers
Light up the fire
Put on your masks
And animal skins
Illumination, illumination
Listen to the drums
Between each beat, each beat of the drum

O beloved Mother of Liberty
Hold me in your arms

Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

And the day will come
Before the lights go out
Who will you turn to
Who will you turn to
Choose the crucifixion
Or Osiris slain
Recurring themes, time again

Illumination, illumination
Burn burn, burn white heat

Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies
Ezekiel's chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts forget
Because we know
Souls are recycled in the death and
Resurrection show

O beloved Mother of Liberty
Come to me

Everything I'm taught, amounts to nought
Everything I learn, the fire shall burn
Notions of myself that when I'm not
Whoever I was is now lost
Illumination, illumination

Burn burn, burn brightly
Burn burn, burn white heat

Oh how ingenious the centuries of lies
Ezekiel's chariots streak across the skies
Holy books and history texts
Forget because we know
Souls are recycled in
The death and resurrection show

O beloved Women of Liberty
Hold me in your arms

"The Fall Of Because"

"The Fall Of Because"



Look at the faces
Whose is the meaning
Forget the passion
Feeding the dead
The fall of because

Look at the faces
It's cold outside
You're on your own
Staying indifferent
The fall of because

It's cold outside
Losing my fear
No more passion
Passion is fed
Because
The fall of because

"The Gathering"

"The Gathering"



We go - to the gathering
We go - to the common feeling
We go - anyway we can
We go - to the basic man

We go - get back my senses
We go - with a basic man
We go - and a basic feeling
We go - to the gathering

We go - to the gathering
We all go to the gathering

"The Great Cull"

"The Great Cull"



Thomas Malthus Eugenics are alive and kicking
Nutrients and vitamins extract from edible goods
Legislate, sick populations - a higher rate of mortality
Food code (as it's known) Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd, the great cull is coming down...

Develop virus market cure - exploit the panic
Contaminate by guile and stealth - a quick strum of the harp
Depopulate initiate - pharmaceutical companies
All fall down, all fall down, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd, the great cull is coming down...

Most of us must die...

Instigate wars in population density centres
Maintain population below 500 million

Immunise, irradiate, deregulate all toxins
Monsanto feed, Monsanto seed - all the bees are dying
Depopulation in every nation, follow the food code
All fall down, all fall down, Codex Alimentarius

Thin the herd, thin the herd, the great cull is coming down...
