Heroes & Martyrs Lyrics
4 ContributorsHeroes & Martyrs LyricsAmid the heat and the wrack, hot boots invested and cracked
Poor candidates jacked into gray light
An ultra-violent call summoning both poet and thrall
Sweet catalyst for the acolytes
Our heroes and martyrs present two points of view
Tell me which deity you're praying to
Into a welter of night
Flack, rounds and roiling blight
Cracked vertebrates stacked by the wayside
An ultra-violent call summoning both poet and thrall
The inveterate blind seeking daylight
Our heroes and martyrs present two points of view
Tell me which deity you're praying to
New Dark Ages Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Now can you hear the call in our rambling little land?
Susurrations that can expand beyond all hope of light
And plunge us into unrelenting night
A pall on truth and reason
It feels like hunting season
So avoid those lines of sight and we'll set this right
[Chorus]
Welcome to the new dark ages
Yeah, I hope you're living right
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight
[Short Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Now come ye children, one and all
Let's heed Ezekiel's call and bide until the word is good and right
Then get plucked clean out of sight
The world will be erased
Our kin will be immaculate ejaculate in space
Before the king of king's love, he'll snatch us from above
Brothers, help me sing it
[Chorus]
Welcome to the new dark ages
Yeah, I hope you're living right
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight
[Bridge]
So how do you sleep?
There's nothing to keep, this is deep
Because we're animals with golden rules, who
Who can't be moved by rational views, yeah
[Chorus]
Welcome to the new dark ages
I hope you're living right
Welcome to the new dark ages
Say it again, yeah
[Outro]
These are the new dark ages
I hope you're living right
Welcome to the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight
Dearly Beloved Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here's a story of an honest man losing religion
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation
While praying came a wicked inspiration
Brothers, sisters, this is what he said
[Chorus]
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Make no mistake, despite our traits, I've seldom seen
I can't relate to you
I can't relate to you
[Verse 2]
He was the kind of guy who'd always go right out of his way
But more before the crazy notion leapt right into his head
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception
I can't deny a funny feeling when he said
[Chorus]
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Make no mistake, despite our traits, I've seldom seen
I can't relate to you
I can't relate to you
[Hook]
Dearest in memoriam, set phasers to stun
And grab yourself a neighbor's skeleton to lean upon
Did you know him in life, one filled with regret?
So soon we all forget we ever met
Do you know my name?
Sing a light refrain
For a man estranged
I won't deny that I'm inclined to isolate
[Chorus]
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
I can't believe
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
Scrutiny Lyrics
3 ContributorsScrutiny LyricsOne - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight
Days go marching by
There and back I never wait for a confident reply
Truth is stark and leaves its mark as limited constraints
And the most difficult part is accepting what the future may bring
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
Wither the path, whether worth the fee
A lifetime of scrutiny
And it seems as though I can't be sure of anything anymore
One - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight
Years go flying by
No one seems to hesitate or cast an earnest eye
Judgement comes in many forms but never scarce or shy
And the litany is long as the confidence is strong in their delight
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
Prejudicial waters wash over me
A lifetime of scrutiny
And the words just don't equate with sense or sanity anymore
One - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight
The faces and the names
Shattered hopes and stolen dreams and no one left to blame
Is it possible to win this pointless mortal game?
'Cuz when death comes it's swift and my friends, we end up all the same
It feels like a lifetime of scrutiny
Wither the path and whether worth the fee
A lifetime of scrutiny
And it seems as though I can't remember anything anymore
Prodigal Son Lyrics
4 ContributorsProdigal Son LyricsOh, can't you feel the nostalgia
I wonder about you
Modernistocrat Horatio Alger
Clever, never hesitating in the baiting
Ever waiting for the canticle of manacles abating
Did you ever forget
You had a regret?
And what you only guessed at
Might still be waiting
When the prodigal son with a caroming shadow of
Hate comes to land at home
Well, he's a mourning star with a champagne heart at his
Curtain call
And father never understood the way the work gets done
Don't look at me
No, I ain't one
No prodigal son
Don't look at me
No, I ain't one
No prodigal son
When everybody about
Is ready to bout you
About controversial values
Don't you think you'd better readdress the level
Of the cowardice rising to drown you?
Did you ever connect
Or come to reject
Or even inspect
The dreams that hound you?
When the prodigal son with a caroming shadow of
Hate comes to land at home
Well, he's a mourning star with a champagne heart at his
Curtain call
And father never understood the way the work gets done
Don't look at me
No, I ain't one
No prodigal son
Don't look at me
No, I ain't one
No prodigal son
When you least expect it, he's going to run
Like the blood-red path of the western sun, oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
The prodigal son is waiting
Waiting for his moment to come
Well hell no, don't look at me
Can't you see
I ain't one
No prodigal son
It ain't me, no I ain't one
No prodigal son
Fields of Mars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the garden where he was cast out by the lord
Flames an omnidirectional sword
For he as ever failed to gather up the fruit
And thus was banished with his loot
[Verse 2]
He cantered aimlessly through endless permutations of night
Seeking a purpose and the meaning of kin
And when it finally came to him
You could have mistook it for the meaning of sin
[Chorus]
The women wished him well every time he cast off marching to hell
Now if you've never seen a terrible sight, stroll the garden of earthly delights
Maybe we can make it right someday
I'll see you high above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
[Verse 3]
He knelt down before the unholy mob
And cried "war is god"
Gleaming outwardly with great pride
And prepared to die
[Chorus]
The women wished him well every time he cast off marching to hell
Now if you've never seen a terrible sight, stroll the garden of earthly delights
Maybe we can make it right someday
I'll see you high above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
[Bridge]
Who cannot fight anymore
Will never love any less
That kid inside of murder
Must be committed
[Chorus]
To live a life of hostility
Never asking what it means
When mother nation, blood and religion
Sanction killing upon the Fields of Mars
[Outro]
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
High above the Fields of Mars
