WAR LYRICS
WAR
the sons of light shall be undertaken against the forces of the sons of darkness, the army of belial. on that day, the congregation of the gods and the congregation of men shall engage one another resulting in great carnage. in three lots the sons of light shall stand firm, so as to strike a blow at wickedness. and also in three, the army of belial shall edify themselves so as to impel the retreat of the forces of light. and when the banners of the infantry cause their hearts to melt, then the power of the almighty shall strengthen the sons of light. in the seventh lot, the great hand of god shall overcome belial and every angel in his dominion. and all the men of his forces shall be destroyed forever.
from the essene "war scroll"
BATTLEGROUND
no more war in heaven black hole heart immortal this earth a battleground all humankind a portal
blood ocean cry of martyrs rain forest tragedy weapon of mass destruction fulfilling prophecy
flocks of unholy angels deliver destiny whose hearts are wholly evil beyond infinity
hell isn't half as fun as it's cracked up to be there is no afterlife where death means eternity
SHORES OF FOREVER
if i could start to shape your heart if i could chance to change your mind
we would attempt to discover that life is nothing without love
we're standing on the shores of forever where stars are shining brighter than before
and peace is the prince of the moment our hearts are so weary from the war
look deep inside for what is golden then seek to turn the other cheek
desire never moved a mountain this world is not worth fighting for
GOD IS MY SIDE
not a day goes by that i don't seek you every time i turn around i'm looking for a sign
my world is disintegrating slipping through my hands and nothing that i do will help because i am just a man
prophets and policemen screaming god is on my side
murderers and thieves pleading god is on my side
priests and politicians stating god is on my side
if all of this is true then how come god is on my side
carnivorous corruption is rampant in the streets misery through molestation of our children's hearts
what happened to our grandfathers is happening again but this time it is worse because there are so many men
TAKE ME
have you once stopped to wonder why all this suffering
what has each man or child done to deserve this thing
maybe the truth is nothing maybe we're all the same
for every crime committed we all must take the blame
there is a new day dawning when our hope fills the skies
legions of love surrender unto our children's eyes
take me because i am ready take me where i belong
take me into forever take me away from wrong
some think the grass is greener that's life for heaven's sake
truth is we share existence what difference does it make
in memory of martin, who spoke of hope though he was without
FAITH
my heart is burning like a fire all fires reach up to the sky
clouds flow in ever changing motions fire tests the motives of faith
if you have faith then you must feel if you have faith then you can see
faith is the trust that lives within the soul faith is to heal faith makes us whole
my heart is bleeding like a fountain all fountains lead into the sea
oceans share ever changing currents blood is the currency of faith
BLINK
i swim beneath the waters unseen yet i control shapeless but with a purpose to conquer everyone
inside of your religion running your government behind your neighbors eyes within your mother's home
i fly upon the airwaves hidden though i prevail covered by mystery to rape and burn your soul
the master of your army ruler of all the world coiled around your cities surrounding every town
blink when your guard is down
blink and your fight is done
blink then you've dropped the crown
blink because you've lost the sun
i live to bring confusion against the current flow i choose your king and queen deciding friend and foe
i send you to destruction scattering seeds you sow you lose in everything by me the earth is woe
THIS WORLD
i have you where i want you you're living under my command
i have you where i want you my power lies and will expand
come now into my splendor you believe i know the way
at any cost you will surrender my order aims to seize the day
i have you where i want you no matter where you turn and stand
i have you where i want you my order aims to take your land
nearly two thousand years since i took the one who gave you hope
in his name i have become prince my power lies beyond all scope
this world belongs to me i swear to set you free
this world is my domain i swear to bring you reign
i have you where i want you i have you where i want you
i have you where i want you i have you where i want you
BOMBS AWAY
when we were young when love was new i spoke in tongue reached out to you
call me a knave i couldn't know thought i was brave my blood would flow
bombs away you set my soul on fire bombs away you are my one desire
bombs away your love's a funeral pyre bombs away you're nothing but a liar
when i was yours when lies were true i felt the force one of the few
call me the proud i couldn't see thought i was loud my fate was free
NOWHERE
if i offered religion you'd have a reason to kill if i carried you riches you'd have a reason to kneel
the wisdom of this world broken all the evidence is in imminent destruction spoken by the wages of our sin
we're going nowhere at the speed of light heading to nowhere faster than light
if i carried you water you'd have a reason to spill if i offered you nothing you'd have a reason to steal
WASTELAND
you me where do we fit in cast down but not cast away
our throats have been cut our wings destroyed nothing matters anymore except today
my sin spread before you like all the space between us
where you could travel far never reach the end
hey love this is a wasteland hey love we're in a wasteland
us them wanting something more now tears here comes the flood
the situation darkens with every breath nothing satisfies like the taste of blood
please hear and believe me i never meant to hurt you
sometimes one gets confused forgetting what is sacred
COLOURS
i could change would purify take us back to paradise
before our hate when death began the birth of pain and sacrifice
but who am i a lonely voice where rainbows end eternal choice
the blood is red the light is white the heart is black the dream is bright
LOVE MY WAY
there's an army on the dance floor it's a fashion with a gun my love
in a room without a door a kiss is not enough in
love my way it's a new road i follow where my mind goes
they put us on a railroad they dearly make us pay
for laughing in their faces and making it our way
there's emptiness behind their eyes dust in all their hearts
they just want to steal us all and take us all apart but not in
so swallow all your tears my love and put on your new face
you can never win or lose if you don't run the race yeah, yeah, yeaH
