"Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition"

"Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition"


Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground
Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You dont know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
Life affirming and our spiritual trust

Lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You dont know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,

Buddha, Mohammad and the Hindu
Lost 100
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
People still ask when will Armageddon begin,

Dragging my feet any longer through the
pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the
pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the
pussy litter,

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You dont know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the
ammunition,

Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove
Do we ever have enough
When we see that blue dove
We want to go where no ones been
No ones been

Come lay it down, wont you,
Come burn it down, cant you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground
Wont you.

"Beethoven's Cunt"

"Beethoven's Cunt"


Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed him to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in me

Ive been walking through these dead farms
But I don't mind,
Ive been screaming through these dead
lungs,
But I cant find,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed her to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe, in me

But lately Ive been blind
You leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in nothing.

But lately Ive been blind
Leave me all alone, left in time.

"Elect The Dead"

"Elect The Dead"


Arms are raised above the sky,
But all I want is me

You are there beside the night
But I all I want is me
All I want is me.

Love we know
Comes from inside,
But all I want is me,
All I want is me.

Death we know
Comes to us alive
But all I want is you,

Death we know
Comes to all of us alive
But all I want is you,
All I need is you,
All I want.

"Blue"



I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you God
I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you God

I don't see nothing but pain and misery,
cause you are the one for me
Why can't it all be true?
Can I escape with my blue fallen reverie?
Why can't it all be true?
Why can't it all be true?
Can't it all be true...

I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you God
I'm
wishin' and wishin' away at you God

Suddenly, I believe you are the one for me
Graciously you move through my closed hearts artery
Can I escape with my blue fallen reverie?
Why can't it all be true?
Why can't it all be true?

Suddenly, I believe you are the one for me
Graciously you move through my closed hearts artery
Can I escape with my blue fallen reverie?
Why can't it all be true?

wishin' and wishin' away at you God
wishin' and wishin' away at you God...

"Empty Walls (Acoustic)"

"Empty Walls (Acoustic)"



Pretentious Attention
Dismissive Apprehension
Don't waste your time on coffins today.
When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning

I want you
to be
left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
to see
from behind those empty walls

Your empty walls
Your empty walls

When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking on intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning

I want you
to be
left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
to see
from behind those empty walls
Want you
to be
left behind those empty walls
I taunt you
to see
from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls
From behind those empty walls

I loved you
(From behind those empty walls)
yesterday before
(From behind those empty walls)
you killed my family
(The walls)

Don't you see their bodies burning
Don't you see their bodies burning

I want you
to be
left behind those empty walls
Taunt you
to see
from behind those empty walls
Want you
to be
left behind those empty walls
I taunt you
to see
from behind those empty walls

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
From behind those fucking walls
From behind those goddamn walls
Those walls
Those walls

"Falling Stars"


"Falling Stars"


Please raise your child today
The way that you were born to play
The way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shatter fears

Pain, your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain

Please raise your child today
The way that you were told to play
The way that we all disappeared
Allowing us to shatters fears

Pain, your every step
When you fooled enough to want to die
When you cry
You will find

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain

In an arrested silence (In an arrested silence),
We plead to our insane gods (We plead to our insane gods),
And their voices in our heads (Their voices in our heads),
Like the silence in the woods,
To stop appeasing man
And his cruel culture of economic global domination (domination).
The balance remains between
That which is sought by the few (WEAPONS!), PROFIT,
And that which is sought by the most, PEACE (Oh, peace).

Falling stars, drain every night

Falling stars, drain every night

I can’t believe that you wanted me so much pain, every

"The Reverend King"

"The Reverend King"


The viseral application of death in your own (applications)
Your own time (time)
The wedges of strength lie beyond you

Discover What it is that you need...

The reverend king said:
All the lights are gone (all the lights are gone)
All the lights are gone and the tracks,
The tracks that turn us into space.

Seeing as seeing is beleiving
Beleiving is seeing
Beleiving

The reverend king said:
DARE QUESTION ME FOR THE LIFE OF MY SUBJECTS
BUT JUST HAD A GREAT MIRACLE!!!

The viseral application of death in your own,
Your own time.
The wedges of strength lie beyond you.

Discover what it is that you mean...

The reverend king said:
All the lights are gone,
All the lights are gone and the tracks,
The tracks that turn us into space.

Seeing as seeing is beleiving (beleiving is being) (seeing is beleiving)

"Gratefully Disappeared"

"Gratefully Disappeared"


Have you disappeared
With all of life shining upon you?
Into the brightness of today

You encircle me room to room
Partaking of your grace

My heart is intrepidation
For a have a bit of fear
Though I am filled with love for your presence

You tease me like a virgin maiden
Galloping around
Showing me your autonomous capabilities

I love you
For you are my teacher
You have taught me much
In the small presence of a millisecond
Much more than a world of physical knowledge
More than a world of physical knowledge

I had the opportunity to lightly caress you
And for that I am a billion times grateful
For that, for that, for that
I am a billion times grateful...

"Disowned Inc."
"Disowned Inc."


I can feel you far away,
your hesitation matching mine.
Sadness left me far away yea,
Your contemplation turn to wine
An old man stares at me
In mutual bizarre reverie

Laugh at thy neighbor
Pretend you are sane, just the same
You survived in vain

Laugh at thy neighbor
Pretend you are sane, just the same
You survived in vain

Time is the father of existence
Rhyme, the brother of resistance
Broken down by men in their crazy mind

Void is the mother of unknown distance
Will, the sister of persistence
Stripping under the elusive sky

The potion of devotion
Euphoric scriptures of the ocean

Laugh at they neighbour
Pretend you are sane just the same
You survived in vain

Time is the father of existence
Rhyme, brother of resistance
Broken down by men in their crazy mind

Void is the mother of unknown distance
Will, the sister of persistence
Stripping under the elusive sky

I felt so alone
'Til you came into my life
And stopped the pain
I felt so alone then you came into my life
And poured the rain
I feel so alone dressed in the dark silk clothing of your own distain
I feel so disowned since your children took our arms in your own name.

God name's different in every language
God name's different in every language

Bombs envision compulsive solution
Gods speak different in every language.
Bombs envision compulsive solution
God speaks different in every language.

"Borders Are"

"Borders Are"



Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Borders are the gallows
Of our collective national egos
Subjective, lines in sand
In the water, separating everything

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Here's my song for the free
No, it's not about praise and publicity
Corprotocracy, what a hypocrisy
Aristocrasy versus democracy

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now
We're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise
We're merely covering our feet

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

Fear is the cause of separation
Backed with illicit conversations
Procured by constant condemnations
National blood-painted persuasions

The king is dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely covering our feet

Your gods are dead and now we're dancing in the streets
As the waters rise, we're merely cowering in defeat

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Never let you go
I never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
