Here in this graveyard You take your sustenance All the things that fall apart Will be used again Moving on to the hallowed ground Another step to be unravelled Laid down by sacrament Laid on the sword in the stone Never turn your back again Until you stand alone All the creatures great and small Broken through these boundaries Mistrust the hands for what they've written Kiss the blade of the sacrament Kiss the blade... FINAL DESTINATION Awake in the darkness Locked inside for another night Silent face full of hunger The moon looks down and sends a light Messages you can't decode The time has come but the words have been Stripped away Ruins are awaiting It's my final destination Now the blind are leading the blind It's my final destination But the spirit's still alive Never paid to travel Jumped the fare as long as I could And you don't need a reason There's somewhere to go Whenever you would Something that you call your own Obsessions come and tear my soul My soul away Ruins are awaiting When I lay me down to sleep I pray for an eternity And I listen to you breathing Can I take it all with me? |
GODS AND MONSTERS You remember it all There's a head at the door and a face on the wall Waiting for the sign There's a passion you can't hide and it whispers to you There's always a promise In the dark of the night just before it's too late Running out of time But you know that the game's not over They're telling you lies But you won't go down on the other side There's a guiding light And you don't believe in gods or monsters In the name of the few You gotta stay on track just to find the answer Never to be confused By the laws of gods and monsters Contagious science It's the emperor's new clothes And the human bias For whatever it means Now the lines are drawn and the numbers chosen Whisper in the night It's the cold dark chamber and you hear them sighing Running out of time But you know that the game's not over NOBODY SUPERSTAR First you lie to yourself Now you're selling it on t.v Didn't know you'd go this far Cultural deficiency No price is too high No moral's too low This is the place you want to be So you're ready to go It's on with the show No time to make apologies Nobody Superstar Laughing in the face of identity Nobody Superstar No price to high for you or me Thrown the books Off the shelf And the world is at your feet Who'd expect it would go this far Irreversible insanity No price is too high No moral's too low Show us want we want to see Millions are watching, they all want to know In the name of triviality Nobody Superstar Laughing in the face of identity Nobody Superstar No price to high for you or me The cheaper the glory The better the story Screams of the greedy You'll always be needing Like bees to the honey You've got all the money Someone's gonna kick you in the teeth now! STORMTROOPER A storm is approaching And another tower falls The battles here go on forever Can they justify the emptiness There is a man in the picture Mourning until the end There is no meaning left Nothing to defend Will you ever find a place A place to be alone? When even your memory Won't let you be at home? It's just a photograph Waiting for another day Relieve me of my command Make it go away Memories of the disenchanted Adrenalin sends you into darkness This picture is screaming Just to be alive |
