2. The Lethargic Age
A thousand souls are waiting, for a day that never comes
A thousand eyes still closed, cause they're afraid to see the world
Two thousand hands are bound, with golden chains they bought themselves
Two thousand legs can't walk, cause they never learned to move.
Got it!
A thousand hearts are bleeding, despite the nails of "unknown pain"
A thousand heads are bowed, pray for mercy, pray for gold
Two thousand feet are stumbling, on the roads that lead nowhere
Two thousand ears are deaf, from the noise of luxury.
Don't you know you keep the nature
Chained in dungeons black as coal
Don't you know you adore
An eagle with broken wings
Roses that never bloom
Wheels that never spin
Bells that never ring
Hands too far to reach
[guitar solo]
3. Internal Conflict
I will crush my skull, when I feel like doing it
I will break my bones, when I feel like doing it
I will cut my veins, when I feel like doing it
I will shred my skin, when I feel like doing it
Yeah!
Self destruct
Self destruct
I will smash my teeth, when I feel like doing it
I will slash my face, when I feel like doing it
Yeah!
Self destruct
Self destruct
But I never... x 4
But I never will touch you
But I never... x 2
4. Caveat (To The Coming)
Children, fragile minds beware
This world is about to cut your hair
This world is about to bleach your skin
This world is about to lock you in.
Gentle, fragile minds beware
This world will appear, cold and bare
This world wants to eat all of your dreams
But there is more than what it seems.
But [ you don't...
You won't...
You don't...
You won't change what ] x 2
You could...
Change what you should
Children, fragile minds beware
Sun is about to disappear
Concrete is danger over here
Now leave that place, mayhem and fear.
But [ you don't...
You won't...
You don't...
You won't change what ] x 2
You could...
Change what you should
5. Serpent Moves
[ I'm moving "ahead", I'm changing "my mind"] x 2
[ I'm moving "ahead", I'm changing ~ ~ ~ ] x 2
I might
Find myself
Out in
The desert's land
Raise the moon
Call the dead
Touch the sky
Curse the sand
[ I'm moving "ahead", I'm changing "my mind"] x 2
[ I'm moving "ahead", I'm changing ~ ~ ~ ] x 2
I might
Leave myself
Out in
The desert's land
Like the serpent
Glides from its skin
With gentle moves
On floors of sin
6. Status: Still Thinking
Don't wanna know your brother's name
Don't wanna know your sister's face
Don't wanna know your mother's age
Don't wanna know your father's wage
Don't wanna know your former friends
Don't wanna know your secret thoughts
Don't wanna know the drug you're on
Just wanna know why...
Don't wanna know the master plan
Don't wanna know the hours spent
Don't wanna know who wins the war
Don't wanna know whatever no more
Don't wanna see the sun today
Don't wanna see the masses pray
Don't wanna see the children play
Just wanna see:
Why do I hate you? x 2
HATE! x 4
Why do I hate you?
Don't wanna hear no tragedy
Don't wanna hear the things you see
Don't wanna hear no wedding "bells"
Don't wanna hear no "dying dance"
Don't wanna feel a warming breeze
Don't wanna feel you touching me
Don't wanna feel like I'm on trial
I wanna feel I know:
Why do I hate you? x 2
HATE! x 4
Why do I hate you?
8. Paralyzed, Mesmerized
I will smile, while you still cry
I'll be in the light, while you still hide
I'll be far away, while you still sleep
And I'll always remember this, believe
The end of the road
The end of a love
The end of the game
The end of the fame
The end of summer
The end of freedom
Leaving you behind like
Paralyzed, mesmerized
I will understand, while you still ignore
I'll use wings, while you still walk
I'll tell the truth, while you still have to lie
And I wonder, why you stand behind just like...
[guitar solo]
The end of the road
The end of a love
The end of the game
The end of the fame
The end of summer
The end of freedom
Leaving you behind like
Paralyzed, mesmerized
9. Grin (Nails Hurt)
Oppression, weighs a ton
Depression, stains in black
Regression, the way things run
Aggression, my last resort
Love never crossed my way
Care, not even for myself
Peace means to reload a gun
Rest, I won't before I die
Nails in my brain, all that's left ... just
GRIN! x 2
Grin 'til I lose x 2
[ Until I lose x 3
Until I lose myself ] x 2
Adrenalin, a legal drug
Anger corrodes my heart
Boredom, nitroglycerine
Violence, primal fear
Nails in my brain, nails hurt x 2
Religion, violent innocence, guilt, panic.
Exposed to all -- A false reality,
Look all through society:
More locks than keys
Nails in my brain, all that's left just
Grin x 2
Grin 'til I lose x 2
[ Until I lose x 3
Until I lose myself ] x 2
10. Host
Again and again
It winds slick/lix-like to have a fire site
Perilous thorn in my brain
Parasite nimble with convulsed streams of plasma
Nestles, sure of entry, in my brain
It breeds
It sweats
It burns
It lives
Piece by piece, it knows me, and I know it
Just when it comes and when it goes
It stays by me, in secret, all alone
Whenever I do what it drives me to
It takes a little piece of me and burns it
As a tribute to its god
As its temple and its victim
My blood runs on marble floors
Just like some insane circulation
Back into my corroded heart
By then I realize
There's just one door
One door, unlocked
I open the door, and
