Peace & Love
03:50

Peace and love,
We go hand in hand
Peace and love
To the bitter end
We are high on blood
We're a sword with no hilt
We want more and more
And the howls never cease
and the crowd is never pleased
until the killing
And if you shout and if you cry
and if you keep awake at night
Hang on. Say your prayers and hold your ground
And if you doubt and if you weep
when you watch your children sleep
Hang on...
Peace and love
We go 'round and 'round
Peace and love
Like a restless hound
We have built a dam
We can make it through the flood
We are stronger now
And the land is our own
and we'll strip it to the bone
to make a living

Pulling me Down
04:22
|
|||
I'm in a nasty little coma
and I'm sitting in the corner of a room
I keep my smiles in the attic
and I'm trying not to get frantic with gloom
I should be running out there with the tigers
It's been a while but I think I can stagger without you
It keeps pulling me down
and someone's watching all the time
It keeps pulling me down
and I'm falling
I think I ought to fly now
I really want to find out the truth
Will you untie me?
Will you stand beside me when I do?
I'm lighter than the air beneath my feathers
Now I'm only waiting for the right weather
Well I guess you know anyone can go
anytime he wishes to
And I guess you're right but you know you might
just learn a thing or two
Listen to the voices in you mind
They're telling you it's safer inside

Talk
04:43
|
|||
You talk about your history
You talk about your creed
The roots by which you justify your greed
You talk about your legacy
You talk about your pride
You dig the truth up when you need to hide
I can tell you
And you know it yet you choose to look away
And you don't believe it even when you
pray to him, talk to him, lie to him
tell him anything
But who is he? What is he?
Isn't he what you ought to be?
your reflection indeed.
A wind of change is blowing
and bellows at your shrines
The concrete monuments of your belief
You tie yourself with golden chains
The thickest you can buy
But they won't stand the fire of your grief
I can tell you
How dare you believe
anyone should be someone like you?

Cry of the Wolf
04:03
|
|||
The storm was over with the sunrise
The morning was clean but still a bit shaken
You let the breeze stroke your thoughts away
as you make your way on the wet sidewalk
The night was long and lonely
And you laid awake staring at the ceiling
while the thunder in the distance
rolled within your emptiness
And the oyster man says
It's the cry of the wolf and it's alright
You made your home in a foreign country
The grass is greener
But the sky is a constant gray
You had enough but you think you'll stay
for another day and another one
The streets are damp and empty
and you hover by a silent mirror
And you wish your own reflection
was of someone you once knew
And the oyster man says
It's the cry of the wolf and it's alright

Scattered
04:48
|
|||
In your narrow mind
you see me thinner than I am
Yet my shadow runs
through your heart, longer than I am
Am I what you really see?
Touch me now
They'll be scattered all around
They'll be blind under the sun
'Cause if they can't have light
They might as well be on the run
In your little shell
You embark heavy with your pride
Out in search of laurel leaves
to adorn your silly little skull
Feeling any closer to me now?
Touch me now
In your empty heart
there's no room but for the void you save
only for yourself
touch me now

Sleep
04:37
|
|||
I can be as wise as you want me to be
I can be as tall as far as you'll want to see
So don't you worry, I'm always by your side
And we are together, we're one
I can be as wide as the shelter you seek
I can be as strong, you can lean on me
So don't you worry now, I'm watching all the time
And I'm here beside you tonight
Sleep, have no fear, I am always with you
Sleep, let your fears be my burden 'till you learn
Then you can face them on your own
I can fly as high as where the thunders roll
I can teach you how to make a rhyme of it all
So don't you worry now, I'm always on your side
And we stand together, we're one

Cruelty
03:41
|
|||
Cruelty, subtle, muffled
in the arms of the ones you trust
By the grace of God
we all know it ain't right
Look at me, shuffle, juggle
all you've got anyway you want
You can weigh the odds
you can toy with your mind
And I feel
I'm coming too strong and I ain't getting on
Yes I feel I won't be back again
Sympathy, you want, alright
Well you've got it, yeah, we sympathize
Can it bring you up? Can it pull you out?
Shed some light?
Remedy is here, as near
as the rage raving at your heart
It's a two faced card
It's a way down or out
Hey don't give it up...
And I sat all night with you in the dark
And I hushed all night while you wept out loud
And I’ve watched you rise with the dawn at your back
And I've seen what it's like

Never Mind
04:08
|
|||
They've set a man on the move
and they never looked around
Alone in the prime land
His feet in the sand
And they seemed to like it
But sometimes, oh, was it ever so vile
And the young man smiled and he said
Never mind I can deal with the silence
I feel right with what I’ve got
And I can touch the skies
From the head I'm in
They've made a ring out of time
And the man did the best he can
And out of the desert he came out alive
And they seemed to like it
But sometimes, oh, was it ever so hard
And the grown man smiled and he said
They've sent a man to his doom
and they never looked around
Alone in the dry land
His feet in the sand
And they seemed to like it
But sometimes, oh, was it ever so hard
But the old man smiled when he said

Child in the Sun
04:04
|
|||
Let the pain
disinfect me burn my evil bone
Let the rain
wash my face before I'm coming home
I cannot run I cannot hide
I can't evade you anymore
I cannot lie, I can't disguise
can't you see I'm running out of shores?
Make me again like I used to be
when I was a child in the sun
Birds of doom
circle 'round my head when I'm in my sleep
Justice looms
and it's shadow crawls up my empty sleeve

The End
06:30
|
|||
Hear me coming, I'm the end of every being
No use hiding, I can see through everything
And it makes no difference to me
If you're big or you are small
When it suits me best I take you all
They say I take you to another place
But they just say it 'cause they dread sight of my face
And the end is just the end
and there is nothing else to see
Save your thoughts for life and not for me
Time buys no time and is lost
when you waste it looking for a way
Time buys no time and its cost
is growing everyday and although you needn't pay
it's only yours while I'm away
Fear me coming, I'm the end of all your dreams
Send me no prayers for none I'll ever heed
And I really do not need
Your gold, your daughters nor your sheep
Leave the choice of taking but to me
