Here comes the Demon
She's looking sharp and she hypnotizes me
She is control, she is religion
She is the blue night-time glow
She wants to tell me what I'm thinking
She says "Freedom is control."
And I believe her, and she deceives
And I am just like you
Strike
Do what you want to do
Destroy the death machine and do your part
Strike
Do what you want to do
There's something waiting for you in the dark
Here comes the Demon
She's in your mind and she makes you feel afraid
She is abuse, she is deception
She is the altar where you pray
She wants to show you all the dying
She says "The world is what you see."
And you believe her, and she deceives
And you are just like me
Strike
Do what you want to do
Destroy the deathmachine and do your part
Strike
What do you want to do
There's something waiting for you in the dark

Dead Monsters

Social life
Throat starts to close
Like a Downsect in its death throes
Flatline, heart death
Flowing pain
Cramping up your left arm vein
Sweat begins to slowly come
Bugs will crawl
Insane to some
Take your pills
Don't be afraid
Sixlegs, thorax
"Come to me," she said
Flesh inside begins to chill
People near have had their fill
Then you find her waiting there
Just what you need
Only play fair
Have your cake and eat it too
She's nothing like her
Wouldn't you?
Red-black hair
Germanic thighs
Blackened leather
Chrome-dead eyes

The Trip Down
03:35

Can't you see that we've tried and tried
Can't you see that we've given it all
Can't you see that it isn't going to change
Can't you see that it's going straight down
Can't you see it, it's right behind you
Can't you see it, it's right behind you
Can't you see it, you're going straight down
Can't you see that they're in control of it all
Can't you see that everything is a lie
Can't you see that opportunity's gone
Can't you see that we blew it again
Can't you see it, it's right behind you
Can't you see it, it's right behind you
Can't you see it, you're going straight down
You can't hold my hand, you're all alone
You can't understand, so all alone
For your trip down
Then you'll say "What happened to me?"
Then you'll say "Where did we go wrong?"
Then you'll say "I have no hope left."
Then you'll say "I guess you were right."
Can't you see it, it's right behind you
Can't you see it, it's right behind you
Can't you see it, you're going straight down
You can't hold my hand, you're all alone
You can't understand, so all alone
For your trip down

Euphorium
05:31
|

|
Here beneath the sky, a part of the machine,
A sudden dream comes over me.
Wishing I was gone, dreaming of the end,
Euphoria is moving me.
To gaze into the sun or look across the sea,
Thinking that I understand everything.
Something here inside, helping me survive,
It fades, but for now, this is all I need.
We're falling through the darkness,
A thousand miles an hour,
This is what it means to be.
Like little stars we're burning,
But only for awhile,
will anyone remember me?
And if I try to focus on the dream,
fading like fear in the light of day.
I want to believe, to throw away the pain,
And free the man I want to be.
Thinking it was gone and I was alone,
When you came and gave me life.
Behind the walls we hide, it's getting dark outside,
Were holding hands until the end.
We're falling through the darkness,
A thousand miles an hour,
This is what it means to be.
Like little stars we're burning,
But only for awhile,
Will anyone remember me?

Feed The Machine

|
Don't you see?
Feed the machine!
Fight the Monster!
Then you'll bleed.
He's in your mind.
He's in your eyes.
You can't reach him with your guns.
Deploy the Master.
The Master Weapon.
The Secret Weapon.
Hidden from sight.
It's underground.
Where you can't see.
It is Possession.
Inside of me!
Feed. Feed the Machine.
Need. Need the Machine.
Feed. Feed the Machine.
Bleed. Bleed the Machine.
Feed! Feed the Machine.
FEED!
They want her dead.
She's just a shell.
Pull the plug.
Release from Hell.
Fight her fight,
Only to die.
Watch the demons drag her away.
The tape is rolling.
Get it all.
Seek to destroy innocent souls.
No one to fight you.
Now you've won.
You are a god, the only one!
Feed. Feed the Machine.
Need. Need the Machine.
Feed. Feed the Machine.
Bleed. Bleed the Machine.
Feed! Feed the Machine.

The Temporal Tide
05:03
|
|||
|
We are plunging into deeper space
Our defense is a cloaking shield
I can see it all when it ends
We have fought but we are beaten down
You are seeing me with clouded eyes
Now you turn them to the darkened sea
There are still so many things to do
But you stand there and you're bound and gagged
No longer will we just agree
No further will we push your mind
And when very little time remains
The tide rising in your narrowed veins
RISE
We thought that we could change the world
But now we're simply trying to survive
We abandon you to your fate
Run tripping over deadly sins
Betrayed by your inner eye
You are clinging to what never was
insects above the rotting ground
Angels falling through the acid clouds
RISE

Hypocritic

Doctor can you make me happy
Make me stronger, make it better
Do you know how to improve me
Better than my human nature
Can you keep me from the cancer
Can you cut out all the tumors
You're a god now, can you heal me
Where'd you put my inner wisdom
You make me laugh, you make me cry
you let me live, you let me die
I don't need you just to survive
I've got something right here inside
Doctor can you make me happy
Can you burn out all my demons
Do you know how to forgive me
Better than my divine creator
Can you try to exorcise me
Can you stop it, all the nightmares
You're a god now, can you heal me
Medicate me, re-arrange me
You make me laugh, you make me cry
you let me live, you let me die
I don't need you just to survive
I've got something right here inside

This Human Condition
05:22
|

|
When my eyes fly over the hill
I don't see my love where she lies
Darkened wind blows, where has she gone
Over the green hills no more to run
And when I cry, my tears turn to dust

Soft Self Portrait
04:01
|
|||
|
Red shoes, twisted metal, pornography
What do these things have to do with me
God's there, he's right there
Cross hanging in the hazy air
See through fleshy skulls to curvy dirty girls
Soft Self Portrait
Paint a picture of your sister
Live the freedom meant for sinners
Fight the past into the future
Mourn your mother through your savior
Find the walls behind these eyes
Predict the wars with burning creatures
See the saintly smiling face
Scissors slice the truth away
Silent father watch me burn
Soft Self Portrait

Open your eyes just one more time.
Release the past, forgotten memories.
Expose the truth. Burn away the lies.
Raise your hands to trace the distant skies.
Breathe in life, replace your fear.
Breathe out pain, I am here.
Quiet your mind, I know your name.
In the fallen rain we are the same.
Open your mind just one more time.
These simple things fall away from me.
What will come and what shall be.
Your crystal eyes are all I have inside.
Breathe in life, replace your fear.
Breathe out pain, I am here.
Quiet your mind, I know your name.
In the fallen rain we are the same.
We are the same.
