Haydenspark
10:24
|
|||
A revelation to start with the upside of:
Nature's a part of the outcome
Haydenspark, in name
But not quite as easy as it used to be
When time's got hard
Haydenspark
Though it's a world away
It won't be long now
These godlike exponential machines will wake me one day
The moon/sun it seems so precious
Every man living in stasis
Overcrowded good Victorians
Advocating for a cleaner energy
A revelation to start with the upside of:
Nature's a part of the outcome
There is your path
taken apart by secret inconvenient undercover human beings
Take us off
the blame forgot
When the days would turn a week to years
We need time
Take us off

Count Your Blessings
05:50
|
|||
A testing, a tempest, assorted announcements, a morning bell
Now the court is adjourned and the verdicts are called
As to who was doing all the gardening
When the moon is in tune and so soon we would
Lose to the walking dead
Deception, detection, inception, rejection, now who can tell
Somehow they always return just in time for the fall
Now you can choose but you ain't avoiding it
Why so few are amused when it's you being used
And it's what was said
And we're not there after all
Something tells me who will fall
Random message on this wall
Count your blessings, English lord
Affliction, a victimless cross-section, it's nearly time to quell
There's no resistance anymore, they've all gone for the war
And only fools want to prove anybody wrong
At least with some innocent song
It's pretty clear there's something else going on
Anyway

Metaepitome
18:55
|
|||
The games behind, the wise man said, is played.
Behind the curtain veil his eyes can't see
What his mind won't recieve
his time is out
The rain must fall to put out the fire
like any dying man would agree
forgiveness is a mighty power,
..it finally occured to me how dark.
IT can be in the shadows.
The war.
Cries are deafening darkness.
Death.
Lies and deceit.
Oh heavens rain on me..
And he remembers:
1. A time before he was
2. A part he had
3. A scheme
But time it fades his memory --> it changes.
When tomorrow comes.
The rain must fall
To put out the fire, like.
"Any dying man would agree
forgiveness is a mighty power!"
-it finally occured to me.
How dark?
It can be in the shadows!
The war cries are deafening,
darkness, death, lies, and deciet.
Oh heavens rain on me..
Lately he has been seen in his garden
Plucking the flowers
Desperately wasting his time with:
-"How could I go back to yesteryear?"
-"Now look.
Please understand.
it's not like actual time were talking here.
It's just that.. you know..
those things you leave behind..
..Have a tendency to sneak up on you
Mind you its not all bad, like,
some of it is, well, positive
and that's what I'm going on about!"
The world in his hands is twisted
To emphasize this twist of fate
A projection of what he sees no longer
sufficed to him
a remedy, a fix to feed your head.
Like the doormouse said:
-"Tomorrow rain must fall"
He looks around with a passive frown
At the rotten streets of this unholy town
The distance is a million miles
His sight is weak, and he cannot see
The greener fields and the calmest streams
And the winding road leading straight to it
He is coming to his senses
Now the awakening is so surreal to me
A co-existence
of all things real and all things unreal
clear as it can be
So brace yourself the time has come
To climb the wall down,
down,
down..
Yeah to climb the wall
To see it falling down
To look in to the future
Yeah to climb the wall
To see it falling down
To look in to the future
In the silence of the heart
where no prying eye can see
wait.. there's something down there?
and if there is, it is not of me,
and thus cannot claim dominion
but it does, over me
There's movement in the dark
ears ringing of fear
the bells sound a warning
of news that came too late
the ground begins to shudder
as the enemy awakes
I am lust and fear and hate
I bring lies, unjustice and death
the age of war is at hand so pick your side!
run to the hills if you will,
but know that you cant hide an enemy inside
not on your own
with me by your side you might have a chance
come along for the ride
-I promise a good one.
so (I) began the fall
so (I) began the falling down
no looking to the future
The way it turned out
is never quite what it seemed to be
a way out to war
ride on a storm god knows the poor need
..a new morning

Last Generation
05:40
|
|||
Shattered glass all around
War ships crash to the ground
Silence the trees
We need machines
It's unacceptable
As it's a Saturday
Slowly on its way
No matter who they choose it's coming soon
Don't matter what now, it's happening soon
Reaching out through the void
Shadows of the destroyed
The last one to breath was the last to leave
It was unexceptional
In the bigger scheme of things
It's you who's avoiding it
Don't matter who they choose it's coming soon
Don't matter what now, it's happening so fast
The world is... the world is only on the edge of shutdown
For them it's the last generation
It's all over now
It's all or nothing after all
Until the day has come
When all the rest is left behind
The signs are starting to begin to disappear
Into the darkness of the void
Who they choose, it's coming soon
Don't matter what now, it's happening
Who they choose, it's coming soon
It don't matter what now, and everything's happening so fast
Yeah the world is... the world is only on the edge
For them it's the last generation

Butterfly's Cry
08:20
|
|||
My eyes are burning for what I see I can't believe
what forces are at work here
if I see why should I believe
once again I'm standing at the crossroads and I sigh
why can't I decide
my sweet vision of freedom is a butterfly's cry
from the realities of life
my heart was yearning
for the feeling of enlightenment
but when I'm immersed in it
is it real or foul deceit
once again I'm standing at the crossroads and I sigh
why can't I decide
my sweet vision of freedom is a butterfly's cry
from the realities of life
no it won't be the last lost illusion
dis-enchanted I am
defending
no it won't be the last impending
the ending
in the sweet days of spring
just as the sun was starting to kick in
yes I was a fool
and I always imagined it
so that all the cards I needed would be in my hands
but time it flows through our hand like sand
just as I identified the moment as a beginning
well that was when it already started to end
and a feeling was growing inside of me
no it won't be the last lost illusion
dis-enchanted I am
defending
no it won't be the last impending
the ending
no it won't be the last lost illusion
dis-enchanted I am
defending
no it won't be the last impending
the ending
I must be learning
ah yes, because it's fading
once again I'm standing at the crossroads and I sigh
why can't I decide
my sweet vision of freedom is a butterfly's cry
from the realities of life

Gone Too Far
08:49
|
|||
Still waiting I know I'm still here
Still hearing about the future
Revolutionary way
and now I don't even know what they're calling it
Destined to fade into the dark
When your time is up, your time is up
Like when you're saying you're sorry
Your situation is anything but
It's the opposite of
It's a chance to go
Far ahead
With an out-of-control amount of motion
Calling out to all the innocent ahead
Gone too far ahead
we'd be out of control without emotions
Still waiting for the end
This is overhead
And we're not there
We're not fit enough
Not big enough
Taking damage for nothing
Believe it or not
We're already on top
Made of steadier stuff
Maybe ready for nothing
Thinking I was but I froze that thought
I'm frozen up
Instead I take a vacation
Take away 9 from 99
Like a father's child
It's a chance to go
Far ahead
With an out-of-control amount of motion
Calling out to all the innocent ahead
Gone too far ahead
We'd be out of control without emotions
still waiting for the end
This is overhead
Gone too far ahead
Let the meters tell the numbers
Scan the readings
Read your comments
Earn your dollars
Eat it up and drink a lot
Ain't it hard
Waking up
Take your time
You're really dreaming
Only teasing
Don't believe me
All I've done is gone too far

Tuesday That Never Came
04:06
|
|||
Turn it on, it's alive moment's later
Fear is infinite power
with a million motives
Too much to navigate
Tuesday that never came
Turn it off and on again
Life is a wasteland of dreams
It remains unbroken
Faster in the long term
And slower in the short term lately
We're already late
The chance has gone away
But not too far
This is how we failed
And blamed it on true north
This is not true north
Seen another way
Some things they can never change
Not too much or not enough
Conditioned minds
Repeat the same lines
Like who's to say this is
This is not true north
This is not true north
Too much to navigate
Some Tuesdays can never change
Turn it off
Or turn it off and on again then stop

To The Madness
06:41
|
|||
March, march knowing well certain death awaits us
Onwards, onwards
The masters yell from their ivory towers
Cowards!
Blind men lead the blind men
dreaming of arrival, of asylum, of revival
Seek, seek and seek you shall
'till flesh and bones are rot and mould
Stake, stake, stake your claim
Rape your land I'll do the same
The same!
Cogs and wheels of blood we are
mechanised, baptized in fire
Sacrifice your inner self
for the greater good, for the common wealth
For greed and lust we march
We march for fear 'till death we march
The world commands us to
Crawl through this earth
'till darkness us devour
Don't leave me out
Fear of darkness
Illusion
Crawl with me
I'm lost
I'm getting colder
Grind, grind into dust
From whence thou came return thou must
Decay!
A Morbid Mistress and Father Time
molest their offspring: You and I
Self inflicted wounds of hatred
transform us into drones
Faceless censors keep us all in line
The screaming beast of eternal lies commands us to
Crawl through this earth
'till darkness us devour
Don't leave me out
Fear of darkness
Illusion
Crawl with me
I'm lost
Crawl through this earth
'till darkness us devour
Don't leave me out
We crawl through this earth
'till darkness us devour
Don't leave me now
I'm lost

Dawn
16:49
|
|||
blinded by the vision of power i was
until i defected
until you see what you have become
you wont know youre infected
you can keep on running but
you aint getting away
keep on scratching but the
itch it wont go
is it a matter of time?
no, its a matter of faith
the signs are clear
but they match in direction
breaking thru a barrier none can see
the poison is injected
into your veins please leave me be,
youre in its grip
hey now
you know that the end is near, yes
and the thought of going
is ever present in your head
and you think they are out to own you
its over the horizon
hey now
so if you want to
break me up until im down
no i wont be there
wake me up when i am gone
no i wont be there
night until dawn but
the night is still young
(like your face (?))
A crisis is about to unfold,
tonight im gonna prove it
Alleviate the cold and then let it be,
go find another fool yo
Hey now
you spell another problem
for this human being,
Set another date for the end of reality.
And how can some people say life is free?
and how can they give it away?
Why wont anyone tell me?
so if you want to
break me up until im down
no i wont be there
wake me up when i am gone
no i wont be there
night until dawn
but the night is still young
(like your face (?))
oh how the time was spent
and what it all had meant
do you cast away
do you block it out
beyond any doubt
would vanity and convenience
conspire to lose it all
what abomination leaves the body
but devours the soul?
everything under the sun is burning up
come hear the call come turn it up
then say the end is near enough
one day the sky shall open up
and rain will wash the unholy town
now heed the "warning : ending" now
'tis the last illusion to ever fall
you're not listening so if you want to
break me up until im down
no i wont be there
wake me up when i am gone
no i wont be there
night until dawn
but the night is still young
warning its ending
tomorrow its so real
more love descending
the morning is surreal
