| Pain Of Mind
1. Pain Of Mind
your mind is restricted
from years of obedience
thoughts are never your own
your mind is a trap loaded with crap
[ch.]
who decided your life? not you
never had it in you to look inside
and be you
living life in a safety belt
nothing inside anymore
never crossed the line
just content to whine
always pay the fine
mind by their design
it's time to purge your brain
no question at all
they've constructed the wall
but you had the bricks
(ever increasing pressure fix)
(pain of mind, sickness of heart)
pain of mind, sickness of heart.
2. Self Taught Infection
how can we be so blind?
once we had a world
untainted land to toil our lives
but then we...
[ch.]
lost control
of our greed and need
lost control
now what have we got?
our world's a disease
the germ is us
our minds have...
[ch.]
we taught our children
hate and love
we taught our children
to love, to hate
confined inside our minds
entangled in greed
we search for unity
[ch.]
3. Reasons To Hide
to try to ake an order out of
muddled thoughts and dream - to
watch hope and desire torn
apart from the seams - construct
a wall of hatred out of failures
crumbled ruins - to crawl with
bleeding fingers for the stones
to be moved
[ch.]
in my dreams i witness terrors
when i wake up they are true
they're of pain and anguish
feelings i never knew
to crawl through the maze of life
and never find the door
to stumble on the corpse of emotion
sprawled across the floor
to stare blankly at one's image
and then coldly turn away
to realise i'm not the only one whose soul died today.
4. Black
sometimes i feel so far away
other times i think i need a change today
unwanted feelings of despair from inside
and all i want is a place to hide
[ch.]
sometimes it makes me really angry
other times it gets me really sad
but every time it happens the only thing i see is...
black, black, black, all i see is...
i just want a little piece of mind
away from all my pressures and the daily grind
i just want a place where i can be
away from all the things that trouble me
[ch.]
could things be better at the end of the road?
or will the world outside still be cold?
for the inner tranquility that i lack
turns everything i see black
5. Training
all of us go through our lives
and never stop to think for a second
we producs and impenetrable womb
and seal our existence
controlled by boundaries of mind
we ignore any reasoning
and we still all wonder why our whole race is doomed
and we do as we're told
and we grow so cold
and no one can say why.
progress how much truth can you take?
lies so pure
hidden eyes, victimized too secure
[ch.]
you live your lies to suicide
content from fear
beaten down and kept in line
commit to sin
programmed mind, self-confined wall closed in
[ch.]
greed controls our lives
money kills
taught to think and act and lie
break the will.
6. Stalemate
i woke up in the morning, spent the night in the trenches again
the first thing i do is grab my gun
the enemy is near, it was dangerous to sleep
i was lucky to have lived to see the sun
in a foreign land fighting for my country
over words that the politicians said
i look and meet the eyes of an enemy soldier
aiming his gun at my head
stalemate...
panicked thoyghts run through my mind
visions of my death unwind
standing there shaking in terror
i clutch my gun in despair
we look eachother in the eyes
then we both realise that our roles are the same
i put down my gun and he walks away.
7. Bury What's Dead
undermine the system that brings destruction
(wake up and bury what's dead)
our lives are the cancer to their oppression
(wake up and bury what's dead)
[ch.]
if you think the reason we are here
is to fight our brothers and sisters and lovers
you must realize it's ourselves we fear
do you feel the tension in our land?
(wake up and bury what's dead)
from the hate zone to the high rise all built by man
(wake up and bury what's dead)
[ch.]
distrust authority
the only rules are your own
spilling blood for a piece of dirt
(wake up and bury what's dead)
shows what a human being is worth
(wake up and bury what's dead)
[ch.]
10. United Sheep
follow the sheep
as the wolf drives the sheep to slaughter
stand with the wolf
as the sheep at eachother
crumbling at the roots
fearing of the wolf
love your fellow sheep
as you march straight in to death
follow the sheep to unity.
12. Life On Your Knees
christ died nailed to a cross
(life on your knees, get down on your knees)
now he's an icon to the spineless mass
(life on your knees, enforced reality)
bring your mind forth and submit
(life on your knees, stay down on your knees)
just let him take you away
(life on your knees, assume conformity)
[ch.]
welcome to the world of your mindless life
away from the reality of your lifeless mind
he was no better than the rest of us
crucified for doing what was right to him
and you'll do no better, we're all slaves
let go now, look within
[ch.]
break the chains on your mind
don't spend your life on your fucking knees
the power is within yourself
take a hold of your life
if you spend your life waiting for heaven
you'll never get out of hell
13. Grey
fighting against the way we've been conditioned
is the pain of life and mind
the more we see the more we know
the more we can't seem to find...
[ch.]
a way of living life free of control
without reality being sch a fucking hole
where all we have to do is survive
with no restrictions on our lives
in this situation we're forced to hypocrisy
we're made to set rules for ourselves
distrust is taught as a way of survival
[ch.]
(follow your heart, trust your head)
we've got to accept that we're all alike
fascist is anarchist is life, one makes the other
and the other is one
just reflections of black and white
[ch.]
The Word As Law
1. Double-Edged Sword
I know what the plan of futures are
The cry and the march of shame
Crawling to the center of what remains
Look for the path to the shelterland
Crossing paths, conflicting times
Expansion never ending
Destruction mind is sending
Signals abound around us
They plant the seed of fate
Creating the undiscovered thought
Snapping the eyes to pain
Feeding, eating, bleeding, seeing
Healing to be broken again
Standing in the crossfire
Burning in the wind
Maybe one day you'll see what I see now
Step to the front the falling is today
2. Choice
Sacrifice your security
Sell your identity, integrity
Give till it hurts, give some more, give it all away
Sacrifice yourself
The choice I made is my own
3. Obsequious Obsolenscence
Do they deal in favors
So that time will roll by
And that peace will stand still
The television denies
They keep your life focused on their truth
To have their truth they must have your life
The illusion of freedom
That will blacken your heart's blood
And dull your senses
Plugged into deception
4. To What End?
'Progress' is not progress, it is everlasting destruction
Technology is backwards
Born of MACHINE
Worship MACHINE
Slave to MACHINE
Become MACHINE
Modern civilization, a contradiction in terms
In terms of survival
Man is made to obey the...
Are we nothing but living...
MACHINE - a dead hand, it's work expresses death
No spirit in it's skeletal framework
The falsification of Man, to what end?
TO WHAT END?
Born of MACHINE
Worship MACHINE
Slave to MACHINE
Become MACHINE
Perverted ingenuity of Man
Fools, we've lost out earthly wisdom
Not the way of nature
In a man-made state of disarray
5. Tomorrow's Reality
We blame others for the problems
that we create for ourselves
Too scared to look inward for the fear
Of seeing what we see in them
Anger
Hurt
The hidden guilt manifests
Neurotic symptoms appear as we hide from the truth
A pattern forms and becomes rule
Our lives become a host to the parasite
Of actions caused by our denial of responsibility
Tonight's nightmare is tomorrow's reality
You look for betterness in everything you see
But poison all hopes of what might be
Rewards of compulsion that only satisfy
The mental cancer that infects
Those who deny
What the self reflects
Look inside and find the strength
To face reality without fear
Look to yourself and you will see
The evidence is clear
6. Common Inconsistencies
Toiling our lives away
We learn to accept the petty rewards that we get
From the feudal system of our modern day wage-slavery
Setting goals for ourselves that cannot be met
Through this system of self-perpetuating misery
Always saying yes when we want to say no
Because we're committed to our roles of subserviency
Living high on stress, pretending that you're unaffected
While denying the reality that you're dejected
Eraser
The eraser
will erase their
will erase your face
Face the inevitability of extermination
While you sit and passively watch
Our earth's contamination
Infrequent possibilities will
Pacify and rectify the inconsistencies
Common good shoved down your throat
And the common enemy is common sense
7. Insesitivity
see the suffering of their lives as you pass them by
Read about the daily tragedies in the paper
Get your depression fix from the T.V. set
It's all too real - can you deal with it?
Quietly whispered lies of happiness
Shouted the truth of being
Face the daily tragedies
with learned insensitivity
Sacrificed souls; preserved sanity
8. Blisters
I felt like I was in a cage
My body was numb, my head was fixed just right
Too sacred to speak for fear of what cuts me like a knife
It's a leech on my soul
Draining my blood and leaving me cold
Left with angry deflections of the feelings I have sold
Leaving me cold
Weekly bleeding in this factory
Takes everything away from me
One way out that I can see
This is what you have made for me
Factory
Tied to a cage to slave my life away
Openess makes me an easy prey
I buy the drugs to kill the pain
That this shit causes in my brain
Obedience to this tomb to which I was bred
Force-fed their lies, I'm choking on what I was fed
Destruction fills my head
When I wake to this day that I dread.
9. Life On Your Knees
Christ died nailed to a cross
Life on your knees get down on your knees
Now he's an icon to the spineless mass
Life on your knees enforced reality
Bring your mind forth and submit
Life on your knees stay down on your knees
Just let him take you away
Life on your knees assume conformity
Welcome to the world of your mindless life
Away from the reality of your lifeless mind
Welcome to the world of your lifeless mind
Away from the reality of your mindless life
He was no better than the rest of us
Crucified for doing what was right to him
And you'll do no better, we're all slaves
Let go now, look within
Break the chains on your mind
Don't spend your life on your fuckin' knees
The power is within yourself
Take a hold on your own life
If you spend your life waiting for heaven
You'll never get out of hell.
10. Pain of Mind
Your mind is restricted
From years of obedience
Thoughts are never your own
Your mind is a trap loaded with crap
Who decided your life?
Not you
Never had it to look inside
And be you
Living life in a safety belt - nothing inside anymore
Never crossed the line
Just content to whine - always pay the fine
Mind by their design
It's time to purge your brain
No question at all
They've constructed the wall
But you had the bricks
Ever increasing pressure fix
Pain of mind sickness of heart
Pain of mind sickness of heart
11. Grey
Fighting against the way we've been conditioned
Is the pain of life and mind
The more we see the more we know
The more we can't seem to find
A way of living life free of control
Without reality always being such a fucking hole
Where all we have to do is survive
With no restrictions on our lives
In this situation where forced to hypocrisy
We're made to set rules for ourselves
Distrust is taught as a way of survival
Follow your heart trust your head
We've got to accept that we're all alike
Facist is anarchist is life
One makes the other and the other is one
Just reflections of black and white
12. United Sheep
Follow the sheep
As the wolf drives the sheep to slaughter
Stand with the wolf
As the sheep eat each other
Crumbling at the roots
Fearing of the wolf
Love your fellow sheep
As you march straight into death
Follow the sheep to unity
13. Pollution
The corpse of mankind is floating down your stream
Raping everything but keeping the image clean
Is it will or is it gain?
The trick of being efficient yet undetectable
Keep the stream flowing and deceive the undesirables
Is it will or is it gain?
14. Day Of The Lords
