the ecstasy of gold
(instrumental)
one
i can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside i feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me
now that the war is through with me
i'm waking up, i cannot see
that theres not much left to me
nothing is real but pain now
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god wake me
back in the world it's much to real
in pumps life that i must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when i live
fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a war time novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god wake me
now the world is gone i'm just one
oh god help me
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god help me
darkness imprisoning me
all that i see
absolute horror
i cannot live
i cannot die
trapped in myself
body my holding cell
landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with a life in hell
nothing else matters
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

blinded by me, you can't see a thing
just call my name, cause i'll hear you scream

battery
lashing out the action, returning the reaction
weak are ripped and torn away
hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
battery is here to stay
smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the battery
pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the battery
cannot kill the family
battery is found in me
battery
crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
breeding on insanity
smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the battery
pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the battery
cannot kill the family
battery is found in me
battery
circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
powerhouse of energy
whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
we create the Battery
smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the battery
pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the battery
cannot kill the family
battery is found in me
battery
until it sleeps
where do i take this pain of mine
i run but it stays right by my side
so tear me open and pour me out
there's things inside that scream and shout
and the pain still hates me
so hold me until it sleeps
just like the curse, just like the stray
you feed it once and now it stays
now it stays
so tear me open but beware
there's things inside without a care
and the dirt still stains me
so wash me until i'm clean
it grips you so hold me
it stains you so hold me
it hates you so hold me
it holds you so hold me
until it sleeps
so tell me why you've chosen me
don't want your grip
don't want your greed
don't want it
i'll tear me open make you gone
no more can you hurt anyone
and the fear still shakes me
so hold me, until it sleeps
it grips you so hold me
it stains you so hold me
it hates you so hold me
it holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps
i don't want it want it want it want it want it
no
so tear me open but beware
there's things inside without a care
and the dirt still stains me
so wash me 'til i'm clean
i'll tear thee open make you gone
no longer will you hurt anyone
and the hate still shapes me
so hold me until it sleeps

of wolf and man
off through the new day's mist i run
out from the new day's mist i have come
i hunt
therefore i am
harvest the land
taking of the fallen lamb
off through the new day's mist i run
out from the new day's mist i have come
we shift
pulsing with the earth
company we keep
roaming the land while you sleep
(shape shift) nose to the wind
(shape shift) feeling i've been
(move swift) all senses clean
(earth's gift)back to the meaning of life
bright is the moon high in starlight
chill is the air cold as steel tonight
we shift
call of the wild
fear in your eyes
it's later than you realized
(shape shift) nose to the wind
(shape shift) feeling i've been
(move swift) all senses clean
(earth's gift) back to the meaning of life
i feel i change
back to a better day
(shape shift)
hair stands on the back of my neck
(move swift)
in wildness is the preservation of the world
so seek the wolf in thyself
(shape shift) nose to the wind
(shape shift) feeling i've been
(move swift) all senses clean
(earth's gift)back to the meaning of wolf and man
for whom the bell tolls
make his fight on the hill in the early day
constant chill deep in inside
shouting gun, on they run, through the endless grey
on they fight, for their right?
yes, but who's to say?
for a hill men would kill, why?
they do not know
stiffened wounds test their pride
men of five, still alive through the raging glow
gone insane from the pain, that they surely know
for whom the bell tolls
time marches on
for whom the bell tolls
take a look to the sky just before you die
it's the last time you will
blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
he hears the silence so loud
crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
for whom the bell tolls
time marches on
for whom the bell tolls
hero of the day
mama they try and break me
the window burns to light the way back home
a light that warms no matter where they've gone
they're off to find the hero of the day
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way
still the window burns
time so slowly turns
and someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
do you hear your names?
did you hear your baby's crying?
mama they try and break me
still they try and break me
cuse me while i tend to how i feel
these things return to me that still seem real
now deservingly this easy chair
but the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
don't want your aid
but the fist i've made
for years, can't hold or feel
no i'm not all me
so please excuse me
while i tend to how i feel
but now the dreams and waking screams
that everlast the night
so build a wall
behind it crawl
and hide until it's light
so can you hear your baby's crying now?
still the window burns
time so slowly turns
and someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
can't you hear your names?
did you hear your baby's crying?
but now the dreams and waking screams
that everlast the night
so build a wall
behind it crawl
and hide until it's light
so can't hear your baby's crying now?
mama they try and break me
mama they try
mama they try and break me
mama they try
wherever i may roam
and the road becomes my bride..
and the road becomes my bride
i have stripped of all but pride
so in her i do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all i need
...and with dust in throat i crave
only knowledge will i save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll redefine anywhere
anywhere i roam
where i lay my head is home
and the earth becomes my throne
and the earth becomes my throne
i adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars i've grown
by myself but not alone
i ask no one
and my ties are severed clean
the less i have the more i gain
off the beaten path i reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but i'll take my time anywhere
i'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll never mind anywhere
anywhere i roam
where i lay my head is home
carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still i roam
wherever i may roam

beauty fills his head with wonder boy

turn around and found the high line
“good day to be alive sir

yeah
then it comes to being the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train coming your way
hey, yeah

the memory remains
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane
but the memory remains
heavy rings on fingers wave
another star denies their grave
see the nowhere crowd
cry the nowhere tears of honor
like twisted vines that grow
that hide and swallow mansions whole
and dim the light of an already
faded prima donna
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
but the memory remains
heavy rings hold cigarettes
up to lips that time forgets
while the Hollywood sun sets
behind your back
and can't the band play on?
just listen, they play my song
ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
dance little tin goddess
nananananana
drift away
fade away
little tin goddess
ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
but the memory remains
ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black...
the memory remains
faded prima donna
dance little tin goddess dance
nananananana
nanana...say yes...nananana nanana...
at least say hello...nananana
the thing that should not be
messenger of fear in sight
dark deception kills the light
hybrid children watch the sea
pray for father, roaming free
fearless wretch
insanity
he watches
lurking beneath the sea
great old one
forbidden site
he searches
hunter of the shadows is rising
immortal
in madness you dwell
crawling chaos, underground
cult has summoned, twisted sound
out from ruins once possessed
fallen city, living death
fearless wretch
insanity
he watches
lurking beneath the sea
timeless sleep
has been upset
he awakens
hunter of the shadows is rising
immortal
in madness you dwell
not dead which eternal lie
stranger eons death may die
drain you of your sanity
face the thing that should not be
fearless wretch
insanity
he watches
lurking beneath the sea
great old One
forbidden site
he searches
hunter of the shadows is rising
immortal
in madness you dwell.
