Track Lyrics
Sunny Disposition Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've been through hell
Sewn up our eyes
Found fuel in meds
Viewed through the narrow
Encouraged fear
When so inclined
Bought peace through wars
That doomed our children to die
[Pre-Chorus]
Ego is sure to fix the world
Served up to happy boys and girls
I'd make a decision if granted the privilege
But I'm afraid my taste is unrefined
And no one likes cheap wine
[Chorus]
When the clouds kiss your eye
Shadows stain on the high-rise
Raise your thumb to the sky
Fossilize
[Verse 2]
You own the burg
We sleep in streets
You dine then waste
We forage to eat
Well, who pays the tab
When you cross the line?
Who writes the check?
Who's herding the swine?
[Pre-Chorus]
Just takes a fence to rule the roost
As long as the scale has been reduced
How can we see the outside of the pen
When survival has possession of our minds?
Calmly walk the line
[Chorus]
When the clouds kiss your eye
Shadows stain on the high-rise
Raise your thumb to the sky
Fossilize
All good things come with time
When ya know, then you'll know
Such a marvelous find
In an illusion
[Interlude]
Vlader Lauder sat in sorrow
For all his teeth had gone
He drank sweet rum while fingering his gun
And eyeballed a feast, not one bite he could eat
Someone should cut off his head!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Dear radiation, my sweet friend
Let agents dance upon my nerves
Let sunlight glow under my skin
Let toxins seep into my soul
[Chorus]
When the clouds kiss your eye
Shadows stain on the high-rise
Raise your thumb to the sky
Fossilize
All good things come with time
When ya know, then you'll know
Such a marvelous time I will find
In an illusion
[Outro]
It's an illusion
God Damn Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh!
[Verse 1]
Hey! Can't ya see we're trippin' on the wire?
Walkin' through the candy land of our desires
Press the magic button and behold the world you crave
Where's the fun in freedom when it renders you a slave?
[Chorus]
Pledge allegiance, no flag
God nation, goddamned
The devil dances with the scorned
And how the fire keeps us warm
[Verse 2]
Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law, no Horus Eye
No one came to cuff ya, they just handed ya the chains
Blind followed the blind, and now the one-eyed man is king
[Chorus]
Pledge allegiance, no flag
God nation, goddamned
The devil dances with the scorned
And how the fire keeps us warm
Tunnel vision, no man
Damnation, god damn
Can't see the forest for the trees
Can't heal the wound before we bleed
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
No form of payment, no pot of gold
Will satisfy the debt of what he's owed
Spilling from the houses
In a trance, the children lined up on the road
Cursing at the piper as he lured your kids away
And led them to the river for what was their final day
No need for convincing
On his pipe, he played a song to fool them all
Fooled them all
[Chorus]
Pledge allegiance, no flag
God nation, goddamned
The devil dances with the scorned
And how the fire keeps us...
Tunnel vision, no man
Damnation, god damn
Can't see the forest for the trees
Can't heal the wound before we bleed
Angels Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Took me years to make my motives clear
And the days have not been kind
Once a steady gaze and charming smile
Has been buried in the lines, I find
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk in the noise, quiet employs
And darkness seems to know just where I am
[Chorus]
Mother, wash the devil from my hands
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand
Mother, tell me, was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die
[Verse 2]
There are words that never found my lips
There are words I'd soon forget
Thought the trick was never to look back
But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip
[Pre-Chorus]
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
And somehow all the bullets bear my name
[Chorus]
Mother, wash the devil from my hands
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand
Mother, tell me, was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Took the road, but should've chased the stars
And now I've lost my own way home
Had a photo of the time we shared
But I burned it long ago, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I struck all the matches, stuck in the ashes
Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name?
[Chorus]
Mother, wash the devil from my hands
Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand
Mother, tell me, was it all a lie?
Show me where the angels die, ooh, die
[Guitar Solo: Papa Gates]
[Outro]
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
And somehow, we all found the warmth of the gun now
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
(Took the road, but should've chased the stars)
And somehow, we all found the warmth of the gun now
(And now I've lost my own way home)
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
(Had a photo of the time we shared)
And somehow, we all found the warmth of the gun now
(But I burned it long ago)
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
(Took the road, but should've chased the stars)
And somehow, we all found the warmth of the gun now
(And now I've lost my own way home)
The faster we run now, the closer the gun now
(Had a photo of the time we shared)
And somehow, we all found the warmth of the gun now
(But I burned it long ago)
Oh
