Tracks



01. The Path To Enlightenment

Strange are the things we place our beliefs in
My apprehensions tear down the walls of the temple

The dollar signs that you crave
Mark the extent of your faith

Strange are the things we choose to believe in
My apprehensions tear down the walls of the temple

I'll never fit in, no faith to believe in
My resignation tears down the walls of the temple

Your cash betrays your true worth
Obtain your garden on Earth

Profane is the wealth that you believe in

Since you can't be wrong, shield your eyes from the sun
Its light will expose the poverty of your soul

Your wealth cannot save
This sacrament that will fade
Your opulence has no worth
You've sold your soul on this earth

And I'll break from your hold
My life cannot be bought and sold
This truth you will never get
And now you're so far in debt

And I'll break from your hold
My life cannot be bought and sold
This truth you will never get
And now you're so far in debt

05. The Sickness Unto Death

Outside this life a light appears
A chill I've felt throughout these years
My dreams have brought it back to me
This image only I can see
This coldness burns me from within
Awake in a dream
Cold
So lost in sleep
Old
How have I passed through these walls blind?
A sorrow creeps into my mind
Lying awake with my eyes shut
These walls will tremble from its touch

As I escape inside
The rift grows wide
It follows me inside
Beneath this life
I can see no light deep in this broken sky
I can see no light so far in this broken night

Oh this spirit visits me
Slips in my dreams at night
A sorrow creeps into my life
Awaken by cold hands
Their fingers around my neck
I'll hide away from time
Asleep I'm so cold

06. The Black Ones

Walk the path of the righteous ones, yeah
Don't come home to pray
Been on my feet for ten days now, baby
Just follow me, take my hand

The Black Ones will shine on tonight
The Black Ones will rise to new heights
The Black Ones will shine on tonight
The Black Ones will suffer through life

Can you talk with the demons, honey
Fall on mortal knees
Speak in tongues with the ones you love now
Drink with the spirits that have blessed you

The Black Ones will rise to new heights
The Black Ones will suffer through life
The Black Ones, their souls will thrive
The Black Ones will shine on tonight

The Black Ones will rise to new heights
The Black Ones will suffer through life
The Black Ones, their souls will thrive
The Black Ones will shine on tonight
