01. Correction

Dead of winter 2020
A plague is on tje rie
As it sweeps across the planet
Humanity's demise
In the course of empire we have put ourselves to sleep
Rise and fall and overreaching brings us to our knees

When every child becomes a human sacrifice
And everybody's seeing darkness in the light

We bring a sleeping peace
Cause a holy war
By war of correction
We got what we're asking for
Man's a destructive beast
Burned it all too hard
By way of correction
No worse than the atom bomb

Carve a coal-fired engine
From a mammoth tusk
Proud care about the cost
The tipping point is now
Out among the demon seed
Ouroboros is upon is
A limit has been reached

When every child becomes a human sacrifice
And everybody's seeing darkness in the light

We bring a sleeping peace
Cause a holy war
By war of correction
We got what we're asking for
Man's a destructive beast
Burned it all too hard
By way of correction
No worse than the atom bomb

In the course of empire we have put ourselves to sleep
Rise and fall and overreaching brings us to our knees

When every child becomes a human sacrifice
And everybody's seeing darkness in the light

We bring a sleeping peace
Cause a holy war
By war of correction
We got what we're asking for
Man's a destructive beast
Burned it all too hard
By way of correction
No worse than the atom bomb

02. Lights On

A shot is fired, a man is down
Somebody's grieving as darkness falls on our town

Criminal behavior, vigilante law
Looking like you don't belong here
Gonna run you down
Domination nightmare
Dogs are off the leash
Hatred, anger, spite and fury
Fight or flight or freeze
Silent call, a dog whistle
Round them up like a sheep
Living in a nightmare
Dogs are off the leash
History's a vicious circle of razor wire fence

Criminal behavior
Dark side of the law
Fear is lurking because of driving through a sundown town

Shaky foundation
Backs against a wall
Hatred, anger spite and fury
Heavens turns to hell
Silent call, a dog whistle
Round them up like a sheep
So tired of waiting
There is no time to waste,
The time is now to steal or borrow
Pressure needs release

Hey, if you're looking to fight
This is not the night, this is eye for eye
Hey, if you wanna do right
This is not the night, this is eye for eye

A shot is fired, a man is down
Somebody's grieving as darkness falls on our town

Hey, if you're looking to fight
This is not the night, this is eye for eye
Hey, if you wanna do right
This is not the night, this is eye for eye

03. Lost At Sea

I put a spell on you and I'll see it through
You are paralyzed you can't escape it
And when I set a trap and you run into it

Surrender all your dreams
Give them all to me
I will crush them with my behavior
Pass it back to you
Let you see it through

We are morally bakrupt and we give it to our living stock
Seven generations lost at sea
Like grains of sand
We feel it slipping through our hands
Time is a thief who's lost at sea

In your fever dreams
In your quarantine
The house of cards that We built is falling
And no amount of gold could buy back your soul
Now it's up to you reinvent the truth
Make your way in a power vacuum
And when you see it through
There's nothing left of you

We are morally bakrupt and we give it to our living stock
Seven generations lost at sea
Like grains of sand
We feel it slipping through our hands
Time is a thief who's lost at sea

There's a blight on the hemlock
There's a change upon the wind
There's a stranger walking among us
The wasted time just bring us to our knees

We are morally bakrupt and we give it to our living stock
Seven generations lost at sea
Like grains of sand
We feel it slipping through our hands
Time is a thief who's lost at sea

04. Change Takes Forever

Change is the reason
Forcing us to be things we don't recognize
Running wild in the streets

All bent and twisted with a loaded gun

False idols
Sacrificial lambs
running headlong towards our fate
We will be damned

All bent and twisted
Pushed to the edge
There's nothing left for us to do

You run in chains
It's now or never
Somebody told me things have to change but change takes forever

Wretched child
If only it was sleep
What drove you wild
Was secrets that we keep

All bent and twisted with a loaded gun

False idols
Sacrificial lambs
Running headlong towards our fate
We will be damned

All bent and twisted
Pushed to the edge
There's nothing left for us to do

You run in chains
It's now or never
Somebody told me things have to change but change takes forever

Somebody told me change gotta come
They say conditions are right for revolution

05. Code Blue

You're not too pretty but you're straight forward
When you know what you want you go right for it
You look and listen, take it all in
What we're building building up to baby is a life of sin

Random desire
Moth to the flame

Caught the smell of you
Like gasoline
Got me looking around Not sure what hit me
I let you take over
Lose control, leave my heart wide open
Been isolated, I choose you baby

Condition red
Got a fire from my heart to my head
Code blue, Code blue
I think I want you

You locked on target
You fire your phermones
You walked up to me and just started talking

In passion's kingdom
There's a willful prison
And I find myself in the arms of a stranger

Random desire
Moth to the flame

Condition red
Got a fire from my heart to my head
Code blue, Code blue
I think I want you

You locked on target
You fire your phermones
You walked up to me and just started talking

Random desire
Moth to the flame

The captive mating of the rock 'n roll animal
Do it with the lights on night after night and that's alright

In passion's kingdom
Our love is special baby
It's not meant for this world

Condition red
Got a fire from my heart to my head
Code blue, Code blue
I think I want you

06. Scythian Women

Riding the world out from east to west
Over the mountains and onto the steppes
Fighting besides their brothers in arms
The surest of archers, the fiercest of swords
Oh how they loved life on the plains
Nomadic people unfettered unchained
Riding across the known universe
Warrior women and warrior girls

One with horses and quick with a whip
Nothing can top them, they are the wind

Ride out! Thundering hordes
Archers on horseback will fight you
No remorse scythian women

Sounds like thunder from far away
Striking fear in the hearts of the dead
In all of the speed with which they descend
As soon as they come, they are gone again
Mothers teach daughters to go for the kill
To build the strength and the aim and the skill
Taking no prisoners and traveling light
The wind on their backs as they ride to a fight

One with horses and quick with a whip
Nothing can top them, they are the wind

Ride out! Thundering hordes
Archers on horseback will fight you
No remorse scythian women

07. Hero's End

Should have left you in the garden
Should have tied you to a tree
Should have fed you poison apples
None of this would never be Remember!

In the garden all is lost not forgotten
It is dark and hard to see
Measured footsteps
One by one we all get through it
We have no choice cause we are weak

Where is the lamplight?
The spark within that guides us through the night
The inspiration, sheer, creation
It's a hero's end when you rise up from the floor to fight again
But you take a seat within the garden

In your dreams
The floor beneath becomes the ceiling and you know that you are lost
So you lie waking
Hoping that you won't be taken by the sickness and the loss

Where is the lamplight?
The spark within that guides us through the night
The inspiration, sheer, creation
It's a hero's end when you rise up from the floor to fight again
But you take a seat within the garden

All hope is fading and other is all around
We have lost our nature to a wicked twisted sound

A light within shines like a prism
In your darkest hours all is forgiven
Remember!

Where is the lamplight?
The spark within that guides us through the night
The inspiration, sheer, creation
It's a hero's end when you rise up from the floor to fight again
But you take a seat within the garden

08. Death Is A Door

Trade in the sun
Tunnel vision lights precision
This may be the end of luck
Cold is the night
Moving on toward the light
This is the dawn of a transition

Gone is the innocence, a trial by fire,
Let's all talk frankly now
'Cause I think we're in denial

It's a cold arrival
Walk into this world alone
Bent on our own survival
Finally I see I'm coming home
There are no more doors to open and you think you're in the prime
Don't know what's gonna happen
It all goes down on borrowed time

A cry for help
A total breakdown
You're ending up where you began
Believing the lies A total shakedown
What goes around comes around again

Dead on arrival
I see it before
Spend all my money trying to live
Now I see death is a door
Live for survival pushing too hard
The only thing I know for sure
Is I know death is a door

There are more doors to open and the wind is in your bones
Darkness taking your breath over
You're gonna leave your body alone
Death still knocking on the door
And it feels like we've been here before
A disembodied spirit seeks a home

A cry for help
A total breakdown
You're ending up where you began
Believing the lies A total shakedown
What goes around comes around again

Dead on arrival
I see it before
Spend all my money trying to live
Now I see death is a door
Live for survival pushing too hard
the only thing I know for sure
Is I know death is a door

It's a cold arrival
Walk into this world alone
Bent on our own survival
Finally I see I'm coming home

Dead on arrival
I see it before
Spend all my money trying to live
Now I see death is a door
Live for survival pushing too hard
the only thing I know for sure
Is I know death is a door

Trade in the sun
Tunnel vision lights precision
This may be the end of luck

Gone is the innocence, a trial by fire,
Let's all talk frankly now
'Cause I think we're in denial
