Commissar Lyrics
4 ContributorsCommissar LyricsDo you see commissar
The night is darker
Do you think commissar
Their dreams are starker
Do you hear commissar
The night is breathing
Could it be commissar
We should be leaving
Now before the curtain
Does come crashing down
Do you hear commissar
The night is silent
Do you think commissar
It is defiance
Do you see commissar
The mob has faces
Could it be commissar
The dark embraces
All as darkness will
And in that dark we'll drown
Cities, towns
We've torn them down
And all we've found
Are relics in a cemetery
But never fear
I will stay near
And to the dark
I will be your emissary
Knights on horseback
Bishops pacing
All are losing ground
The pawn is now a queen
He's moved across the board unseen
The move is down
I believe
That we've intrigued for far too long
But now I think the plot has ended
A quick retreat
Into the street
Admit defeat
And hope our moves will be defended
Across their throats
The blade does wander
They die without a sound
Who'd have thought we'd meet
As bones beneath the dragon's feet
The wall is down
I Seek Power Lyrics
4 ContributorsI Seek Power LyricsAs the steam from the street starts to rise
The gutter whispers
That the moon like a child has arrived
The dark has missed her
And the light that she lends is a guide
Among her shadows
Like the ghost from the past that survive
And you ask me now
What is my intent
Here among the ruins
Cloaked in false pretence
And how do I belong
I seek power
Where the power remains
I seek power
In the back of your brain
How will you see me
If you don't know where I hide
How will you bleed me
If I am somewhere inside
In the ashes of empires lost
A distant warning
On the danger of ignoring cost
And children mourning
As the memories cloud in our mind
The past can glitter
And so it has been designed
I know every lie
That the mind invents
Though they're well disguised
And cloaked in innocence
And how do I belong
I seek power
Where the power remains
I seek power
Like the kiss of cocaine
I seek power
As the darkness descends
I seek power
And i'll have it again
I seek power
Where the power remains
I seek power
Like the kiss of cocaine
I seek power
When it's not always wise
I seek power
For the power survives
Drive Lyrics
4 ContributorsDrive LyricsWheels keep turning
Blind desires
Core ambition
Never tires
Got an engine
Got intentions
No dissensions
Nothing to hide
Gotta' mission
Street munitions
Any road block
I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
I'll run it
You'll know i'll run it
Road side tyrants
Revolution
Speed is silent
Absolution
Got reactions
Got attractions
Each infraction
We're gonna' die
Got redemption
Fools intentions
Any road block
I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
I'll run it
