It Ends Right Now

I first saw you
In the wasteland of the city
You Really caught my eye
You were sitting
In a bar just looking pretty
I was walking by
I didn't know that you were gonna play those mind games
It's a damn shame
Offered adrink
You said "I'm drinking wine"
We sat there for a while
Turned on the charm
I hit you with a fist of lines
I kinda liked your smile
No idea that you were gonna drive me insane
It's a damn shame
I can't make it
'Cos I just can't take it
Gotta leave right now
Gotta try some how
I can't fake it
'Cos I just can't take it
Any more don't lie
And I do't know why
It aint real
'Cos I just don't feel
What you're saying to me
Is the truth you see
I wont lie, wont try, wont hide
And I don't know how
But it ends right now
You said to me that
You were on your own and killing time
I took your word for it
But I found out that
You were married to a friend of mine
And you were full of shit
No idea that you were playing with the mind games
It's a damn shame

Once More In Time
04:58
|
|

Deep down in the depths of the city
Lights dim and where the people stare
Lies a man with no sense or pity
Self loathing in deep despair
He'll see right through you
Wrong street wrong way
Don't know what you gonna do
Or what price you'll pay
Look down make out you didn't see him
Too late he's got you in his sight
Foot steps start to walk turn to running
Might be your final night
Feel a hand on your shoulder
Gotta look him in the eye
Feel your self getting older
It's time to die
A nightmare
I'm dreaming
The same every night
I wake up
I'm shaking
Once more in time
Try to speak but your mouth wont open
Try to run but your legs wont move
Try to fight but it's like slow motion
Try to scream try to hide no use

You got your main stream media
A thousand types or more
Speak through your TV in the corner
To your inbox through your door
They speak of independence
Neutrality and truth
They repeat what they are told to
You must look to see the truth
The fact that they work as one
Their egenda is the same
No matter where you get it from
Political the game
Scripted like a school play
Repeated like a lie
Churning out the rhetoric
To get you to comply
This is what we're fighting for
No more hesitating
Rise, rise and rise some more
Destiny is not control
Hope is not just preying
Rise, rise defeat them all
Ram it down your throat again
If they say it must be true
But if it comes from someone eles mouth
They will conceal it all from you
Take a government advisor
With his words he will betray
Another dog on a leash again
Taught to sit, beg and stay

Black Fever
04:52

|

Indecision is
Always mocking me
From a distance it preys on my mind
Should I shouldn't I?
What will be if I?
Twist my thoughts start to rot from inside
Simple things become
Complicated
Inside outside dilemma decide
Do I or don't I?
Will I or wont I?
Stand together and fight or divide
Black fever
Black dog
Sometimes always I
Mostly never I
Toss a coin let the Gods choose my fate
Inside outside
This way that way
Red or black life or death black or white
Ask opinions and
Make decisions
Can't sleep for torment my thoughts are in vane
One more question
One more answer
Premonitions they drive me insane
Put off 'til tomorrow
Procrastinate
Out of my hands leave decisions to fate
Start over again
Start a fresh start a new
I am them I am us I am me I am you

Live And Learn

Become a soul destroyer
Become a man of faith
Follow, obey, disorder
Become my saving grace
Decide to follow leaders
Decide to lead your self
Your life, your death, your freedom
Decide to feed your wealth
Seek out the truth
Admit you don't know
Wisdom is born
From the seed that you sow
Mistakes we've made
Hatred we've earned
Hatred we gave
You live and learn
Don't be afraid of weakness
Don't be afraid of love
Explore your world and further
This life is not enough.
Be true to your decisions
Be true to your own tear
your life is yours to fuck up
Be true to your own fear
Seek out the truth
Admit you don't know
Wisdom is born
From the seed that you sow
Mistakes we've made
Hatred we've earned
Hatred we gave
You live and learn

Rock 'N' Roll Tears
04:31
|
|

Isolate you're on your own
Staring at your telephone
Page after page you're flicking through
Not a care you're giving
Day after day they're all the same
You try to hide that inner pain
Nothing to see nothing to do
Getting tired just living
Another piece of useless news
It's 10 am you hit the booze
You start to smile it's been a while
4 days since you have spoken
Another message coming through
"Hello my friend" and "how are you?"
You tell them "fine...I'm on the wine"
Though inside you're broken
Sanitize me
To the bone
Masquerade me
Starve my soul
Mandate suffocate
Hopes with fears
Hide behind those Rock'n'Roll tears
I order things I do not need
Isolation feeds my greed
Another package at my door
I feel anticipation
The disappointment it is real
Unsatisfied is what I feel
Empty cartons fill the floor
Life's full of complications

Highs and lows they come and go
New faces I don't want to know
My mind is full there's no more space
I don't recognize my face
For all these years I've been around
Making sense of what I've found
My heart is true through to the core
You don't know me anymore
A strangers eyes
I see but I don't recognize
Each day I fade just like before
You don't know me anymore
Strangers come and strangers go
Stranger am ,I I'm sure you know
I'm peering through the looking glass
Another day has been and passed
Every day you're by my side
So many times we laughed we cried
Our tears combine upon the floor
You don't know me anymore
Another visit from my past
10 minutes long is all it lasts
I see confusion in their eyes
My mind is full of useless lies
I watch you smile and so do I
You hold my hand I start to cry
You start to leave and close the door
You don't know me anymore

Karma
04:07

|

She is patient
She is true
She is watching waiting
Planning just for you
She has timing
She has style
What she has in store for you
Might take a while
You'll never see her
You'll never know
That she's been reaping with
The seeds that you have sown
She isn't death
She isn't hate
She is the justice that
You wont anticipate
You wont see her coming
You wont have a clue
Karma's making plans for you
She is waiting
So patiently too
Karma's coming just for you
Might take a lifetime
Might take a day
But you can rest assured
That she is on her way
She'll never leave you
She'll never go
Right by your side she'll be
But you will never know
You wont defeat her
You cannot fight
She is the balance that
Will make the wrong things right
She is relentless
She wont forgive
She will decide if you shall die
Or you shall live

Distant War
06:15
|
|
||
Whispers in the distance
Footsteps that follow me
Shadows in the corner
Conceal hypocrisy
Echos of the voices
No longer loud or clear
Beckoning not reasoning
It fills the place with fear
Fills the place with fear
Walk on the roadside
Spin the wheel of hell
Friend or foe you'll never know
Impossible to tell
Show to me with agony
Your tortured life lives on
Show to me with anarchy
your book of God is wrong
Blood of angels on my window
Lonely crow up in the sky
Distant war on the horizon
Explain to me the reason why
Life goes slowly
Dragged along the ground
Houses burn can no one learn
Silence a deafening sound
Rising by the fire
Smoke filters through the air
A body lays where once it played
Destroyed without a care
Suicide and genocide
Are rotten to the core
Weapons of the present day
To fight the Distant war

I'll See You There
05:46

I do not deny that I planned sabotage.
I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness
nor because I have any love of violence.
I planned it as a result of a calm and sober
assessment of the political situation that had
arisen after many years of tyranny,
exploitation and oppression of my people.
-(Nelson Mandela)
You wanna track my movement
Listen to what I say
(But ya)Can't force your own ideas
So you vote (It's the democratic way)
Sell lies to the T.V. stations
Sell fear to the innocent man
(But ya)Discount communications
Exposing (All we can)
You chose the path that you walk on
And the decisions you made
Can't have it all
This time it's too late
Your fate is fast approaching
If I was you I'd despair
For the first time
Your life wont seem fair
And I'll see you there.
You wanna take our freedom
You want us on our own
(So ya)Told all the population
(Save life-Protect-Stay home)
You must divide to conquer
Pitch North against the South
(Don't ya)Know that we can see through the
(Shit that comes out your mouth)
You chose the path that you walk on
And the decisions you made
Can't have it all
This time it's too late
Your fate is fast approaching
If I was you I'd despair
For the first time
Your life wont seem fair
And I'll see you there.

Systems Lie
06:20
|
|
||
Now is the time to
Stop and begin again
To ask the question why?
Look at your past and
Ask was it worth it when
You lived the systems lie
Every day is a fight
To the bitter end
This is the rat race
There you are at
The back of the cue again
Got to spend your pay
Your spirit killed by the
Thought of the same again
No time to think it through
You must conform to the
Laws that are written when
They need some more from you
You sold your soul on
The promise you could live again
Enough to make you cry
They've got us all and
I don't know when its gonna end
Slave to the systems lie
Spend every waking hour
Slaving to the grinding stone
Every passing year
Got no time as
You work your fingers to the bone
No end in sight you fear
We sold your souls on
The promise we could live again
Enough to make us cry
They've got us all and
I don't know when its gonna end
Slave to the systems lie
