NO WAY OUT!! (chorus) i need to find my sanctuary ..... someplace safe gotta get this outta me ..... this is my escape II. and i think about it all the time i'm volatile & afraid to cry but i'm still not comfortable in my skin and the anesthetics slowly wearing thin & i need to talk to someone new i need a different latitude & i'm in this void all alone! feeling needy ... hungry to grow but i'm suffocating -- can't come down and .... no .... THERE'S NO WAY OUT!!! (chorus) i need to find my sanctuary .... someplace safe gotta get this outta me! .... THIS IS MY ESCAPE!!! --- all i see is sadness all i see is sadness .... what's left? -- this will teach them. this will teach them, ......you've got to...... push. Push. PUSH.... YOUR WAY OUT!!! FOLLOW ME! FOLLOW ME! THIS IS YOUR WAY OUT!! ........you are not alone - this is where i hide my power - this is where i become free - this is where i take control - and slowly choke your fantasies - i want to know my day is coming - see my enemies be punished - shed my skin again - this will be my best revenge!! SHED MY SKIN AGAIN THIS WILL BE MY BEST REVENGE! |

Lost in the hot cyclops anarchy
Possession Invention Blood blood Spirits spirits Spirits spirits Calling calling Where will these visions lead How far dare I go Where will this song take me Into the deep unknown Yeah Spirits spirits Come come All the prophets and the gods came prepared for theirs So we dine on divine of the mind impaired Preaching werewolf prayers on a nightly flight It's taken all we ate in the pale moonlight Feel the urge of the power surge connect us all Bringing kingdoms under siege with the words that I control Got an arsenal ganja blunts and such Only love can set me free from this patriotic quest Speaking testaments in our secret dialogue While the drones begin to feast on the feces of the hog Walk in the wilderness of the mind Soul decides to die and leave infinity behind Possession, Invention Invite discovery Surrender to pleasures Lost in ecstasy Survive Alive you are my enemy You die for lies, slaves to misery Down on the battle ground Laying wasted competition I'm collecting intellects and exhaling solar systems I decree mutiny It's revolution us against the patriarchy The assembler of souls full of knowledge untold While I'm spinning webs of wisdom prophecies unfold Into attack mode to decipher the code Of Babylon's terror spawn tyranny reloads Mental states apathy erases Urgency of rage in its frightening little places Prepare for warfare The afterbirth of knowledge is America's nightmare Yeah Possession, Invention Invite discovery Surrender to pleasures Lost in ecstasy Survive Alive you are my enemy You die for lies, slave to misery Sometimes I sit and ask myself what have I become What have I become What have I become What have I become What have I become What have I become Something's taking over me Something's taking over me Something's taking over me Something's taking over me You paint your face with the blood of the weak Self sacrifice everyone you meet Scream at demons in my face There's voices of the dead nurturing my pain I survive, I'm alive I render fever to watch you burn Kill your leaders to help you learn I survive, I'm alive |

Take me down
With the baptized drown So they say [Incomprehensible] Let's lick my wound So they say, I killed a man So they say, I took his head So they say, he was a scourge In all the world died his children The best thing they ever did In this life was let me live Taking swiftly out the helm Madness helps me save myself Crooked spoons are every wall Genocide lines the halls Teenage needles end the prayer Smearing sin everywhere What else could you need? You've taken everything What else could you need? You've taken everything Self destruction for me Let's lick my wound We feed until we are gorged Let them sleep, I need some more Nooses made from human hair Bodies falling from the air We breach and scream forbidden truths This is it, we're through with you Choosing to lose my mind Rape the blade and call it wine Crooked spoons are every wall Genocide lines the halls Teenage needles end the prayer Smearing sin everywhere What else could you need? You've taken everything What else could you need? You've taken everything Self destruction for me Knew where the baptized drown I sleep too deep for you to wake me I sleep too deep for you to wake me I sleep too deep for you to wake me My wrists are kissed with tarnished stitches What else could you need? You've taken everything What else could you need? You've taken everything The venom that slips from your lips Your tiny lies shinning in your eyes Pain in my veins shallow, hallow incarcerated soul I sleep too deep you to wake me up |

Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back! They don't know What they started Confrontation [Bridge] This is my Battle cry! Defy the lies Of the tyrant race With a fist in the air & a finger in their face! Defy the tyrants! Don't be silent! Defy the tyrants! Don't be silent! Defy the tyrants! Don't be silent! Defy the tyrants! Don't be silent! [Chorus] Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back! Stand, fight Speak, fight Strike back!

Dress like we do, speak like we do
Think like we do, obey Beneath the cold sun watching you walk away Where my terror runs in rivers of decay I am invisible, I'm in this room for days Teeth on every wall that never go away I'm made of blades and flame I'm sick and dangerous You're still my favorite prey 'Cause I hurt the ones I love You're so lovely when you cry You're so perfect when you lie You can be my crucifix (You never saw it coming, you never knew what hit you) Hold me up to watch me die Can't you see? Well, I'm invisible (Lies, lies, lies, lies) (Lies, lies, lies, lies) Beneath the pagan moon, one more prey dies today On sheets of flesh and doom, shivering in endless shade Like criminals the stain still remains And I promise you it never goes away You're so lovely when you cry You're so perfect when you lie You can be my crucifix (You never saw it coming, you never knew what hit you) Hold me up to watch me die Behold, feast your eyes as the peripherals explode Can you see me now? Can you see me now? The ugly will resign when the young blood Eats the light and one day this pain could save your life You're so lovely when you cry You're so perfect when you lie You can be my crucifix (You never saw it coming, you never knew what hit you) Hold me up to watch me die (Never thought you see, know you're not spared) Living in the shelter Lying here alive We're painting submission Across the shadowed sky Fire on the sides burning bright as our eyes Lost in flight on golden molted wings Now do you see? Now do you see? Now do you, now do you see? Mama, don't cry for believing his lie It's not your fault, it's not your fault Paid for our sins You protected us then and saved us all I make this vow, I promise you now He'll never touch us again He'll never touch us again He'll never touch us again |

Lost in the hot cyclops anarchy
Possession Invention Blood blood Spirits spirits Spirits spirits Calling calling Where will these visions lead How far dare I go Where will this song take me Into the deep unknown Yeah Spirits spirits Come come All the prophets and the gods came prepared for theirs So we dine on divine of the mind impaired Preaching werewolf prayers on a nightly flight It's taken all we ate in the pale moonlight Feel the urge of the power surge connect us all Bringing kingdoms under siege with the words that I control Got an arsenal ganja blunts and such Only love can set me free from this patriotic quest Speaking testaments in our secret dialogue While the drones begin to feast on the feces of the hog Walk in the wilderness of the mind Soul decides to die and leave infinity behind Possession, Invention Invite discovery Surrender to pleasures Lost in ecstasy Survive Alive you are my enemy You die for lies, slaves to misery Down on the battle ground Laying wasted competition I'm collecting intellects and exhaling solar systems I decree mutiny It's revolution us against the patriarchy The assembler of souls full of knowledge untold While I'm spinning webs of wisdom prophecies unfold Into attack mode to decipher the code Of Babylon's terror spawn tyranny reloads Mental states apathy erases Urgency of rage in its frightening little places Prepare for warfare The afterbirth of knowledge is America's nightmare Yeah Possession, Invention Invite discovery Surrender to pleasures Lost in ecstasy Survive Alive you are my enemy You die for lies, slave to misery Sometimes I sit and ask myself what have I become What have I become What have I become What have I become What have I become What have I become Something's taking over me Something's taking over me Something's taking over me Something's taking over me You paint your face with the blood of the weak Self sacrifice everyone you meet Scream at demons in my face There's voices of the dead nurturing my pain I survive, I'm alive I render fever to watch you burn Kill your leaders to help you learn I survive, I'm alive |

I had this dream...
Where I woke up To a grand commotion. And uhm... I just jumped from the blankets And whipped the door from its lock, And rush blindly into the blackness of the hallway. But there, on all sides Lying next to each other Were rows and rows of executioners... Some were shirtless and __ And throbbing with anticipation. Sweat delicatley sneaking through their body hair All were hooded Some like seventeenth century guillotine henchemen Others had crudely made hoods Like scarecrows or ripped ski masks With slobber from their clenching jaws And some had burlap masks that looked like they were made of human skin. Each one held a weapon. Large mallets Crudely fashioned axes And large clubs Pipes But I wasn't compelled to retreat. No. I was forced to move between them. Past their swinging weapons The clubs The bats The slicing tools The shovels The large and small axes Boards with nails, staples and razorblades embedded in them Taking the beating, Falling down, Getting up, Again and again and again and again Driven to make it out... At any cost. And next, I stumbled into a... this strange marshy world Where I was oddly drowning in squirrels and other large, starving rodents. From above, out on the treetops, Several dolls fell from the branches And they were hanging With nooses made of human hair They started biting and sucking and trying to feed from me... Trying to enter my belly and some pushed large needles into my veins and... And as I looked back, some had nails through their hands, torsos and throats. I was froze. Dead eyes... Carbonized... As I kicked them away I could see all around me... Of piles and piles of dead sea life. Large fish, smelly crustaceans, __ And their soulless empty bodies whispered A secret language I couldn't decipher but somehow understood. And their cries were "Feed me... feed me..." They wanted me to devour those around them Chew them up into pieces And smear them inside their mouths. And as I turned around I could see the shape of a woman Perfect... Perfectly erotic Squatting over a pile of these dead things... And as I ran to her and said "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" And she had no face And she turned to glass And suddently cracked And then exploded into 1000 pieces at my feet. And just as I took a quick breath, This world was shoved and desimated But an intruding tidal wave Of microorganisms, exploding atoms... And suddenly moon rose... Frightened, aching, and alone... And that's what I remember most... ...The ache. I can't escape The ache....... |
