TAKE A BOW

Door knocks, you can't help but hide
History's on the other side.
How long til the day arrives
That your friends are friends and your enemies are far away?
There was a name that was once yours
Now it won’t come back until they…
Shut the pine corridor
It's nicely built but it ain’t gonna take you anywhere
GOODNIGHT, GOODNIGHT
TAKE A BOW CUZ IT'S OVER NOW
No time to check if she’s still there
With crows feet surely, and greying
Bouquets and pistols beyond compare
All that’s left of a life you traded for emptiness
GOODNIGHT, GOODNIGHT
TAKE A BOW CUZ IT'S OVER NOW

QUEEN AND COUNTRY
01:50

It’s a fire in the night
Long since asking if it’s right
Oh what can you do
It’s the cold steel in your hand
It’s another dying man
So what was the point?
It’s sad
Stuff you in a bag
Wrap you in a flag
My son you’ve been had
There’s nothing left to say
Doesn’t Matter anyway
But we all fall in line
For queen and country
Queen and country
Queen and country
Things you believed in younger days
Now they seem so far away
So why are you here?
Too late to come in from the cold
Getting tired getting old
Oh where are you now
There’s nothing left to say
Doesn’t Matter anyway
But we all fall in line
For queen and country
Queen and country
Queen and country

YOU CAN'T STOP TOMORROW
02:47
|

Are you ready? Are you waiting? Are you standing there in line?
Gonna find out, for the first time, that it was all a lie
One and two
What will you do
Once were heroes, and they stood up, in the best time of the year
And they spoke out, but they’re all dead, and you wish they were still here
But you’ll get through
Wish you knew
You can’t stop
You can’t stop
You can’t stop tomorrow
Dogs are barking / in the distance / at a threat yet unseen
Could be foreign / or domestic / or something in-between
Flags red and blue
Cut in two
Shadows talking / in a whisper / if you could only hear
But you're certain / that they're working / to make you disappear
And they see through
thought you knew

INTO THE NIGHT

Hey Sheila they never would believe ya
If you told them where your from
Hey joe how could you know
They you were not the only, not the only one
Hey ida don’t hide it there inside ya
You’ve got to tell him what you think
Don’t write it don’t speak it or incite it
Or it’ll find you on the long way around
Into the night
Fade Away
Laid low sinking down slow in a world of dreams
Get home how could you know that all is not as it seems
Desolation they’re calling you to save them can’t you hear the sound
Salvation stop the decimation or he’ll find you on the long way around

BLACKEST ROSE
03:53
|

|
Scrape my boot on cobblestones and broken bottles
Wonder how the summer got away
On this forgotten
Holiday
Crossed a river in a city so familiar
I was sure that I would know the way
Looking for a
Friendly face
You can take the long way home
Wait a while, I’m told
In this city as old as time
I’ve been drinking at the blackest rose
Never a diamond shined half as fine
I’m only drinking at the blackest rose
You can tell that it’s the evening by the faces
And the volume of the songs they play
Pay your tab but you still can’t get away [talk]
If a dream can mean as much as you and me
when we were living all our yesterdays
Would it matter if I tried to change
I can take a punch and call you once or twice a month
And I’ll come back alone
For you
In this city as old as time
I’ve been drinking from the blackest rose
Never a diamond shined half as fine
I’m only dreaming of the blackest rose
Alot of dirty water under neath a rusty bridge
And all of your cousins turned out be pricks
A solitary figure on a golden sea
Looks much like the man that you’d like to be

HERO OF OUR TIME
03:23
|

Tick back upon the passing hour
You hold your breath
In the shadow of the cooling tower
I can’t wait, can you?
Are you in love with the nation states?
You wanna watch them burn?
Or grow old in their warm embrace?
Or are you indifferent?
You’re in love with the city
When it’s not around
But you know the city wants you
Underground ,I hope you choke
On the dying embers
It’s time
To grow cold for the sake of summer
And love it as you’re leaving it behind
Do you believe in nothing?
Do you believe in nothing now?
Do you believe in nothing?
Nothing’ll save you anyhow
Do you believe in nothing?
Are you a hero of our day?
Do you believe in nothing?
Now that there’s nothing to save
Think back when you lost your way.
Did you find
That you don’t appreciate
What you brought with you?
Kneel down in the setting sun
Of your country’s prime
Work you thought was never done
Has been done for you.
And the glow of the vapor lamps
Shines off the salt
On the frozen streets you travel.
It’s not your fault, I know you cried
For the fallen members
Of your tribe
Their dreams will not be forgotten
You must be the hero of our time

COLONY SONG

Steal from the rich and they’ll make you pay
Dragged across the ocean and locked away
Four thousand fathoms
We lost thirteen friends
Landfall into Prisoner’s Bay
We were separated
They threw away the key!
Four years gone now we’re
FINALLY MAKING OUR ESCAPE!
FINALLY MAKING OUR ESCAPE!
STAND UP OUR CHAINS ARE BREAKING
STAND UP OUR CHAINS ARE BREAKING
WE’RE GOING HOME
Tortured and brutalized
We planned our judgment day
We watched our captors
And learned from their mistakes
Then came that fateful night
We passed a silent message
It was time to strike!
And We killed those bastards
NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE DAY
BLACK FLAGS OVER PRISONER’S BAY
WE’RE FINALLY MAKING OUR ESCAPE
STAND UP OUR CHAINS ARE BREAKING
STAND UP OUR CHAINS ARE BREAKING
WE’RE GOING HOME

FLOWER OF YOUTH

Pick away at old expectations/gunpowder and lipstick ohohohoh
See the flower at the tundras edge/know she’s not who you think she is
If you could shed your reputation/turn th page and leave it oh oh oh oh
But the mirror is split in two/ and there’s nothing left that you can do oooh oooh
It’s coming in color resplendent the flower of youth
The flower of youth
If I had the strength to change it/ don’t you know I wo-o-o-ould
Face the memories that make you cry / hard truth that we can’t deny.
Crumbled ruins under vegetation/ time moves like lightning, oh oh oh ohh
Til I can’t even peer into / dirty windows shielding ancient pain from view oooh oooh
It’s coming in color resplendent the flower of youth
The flower of youth

HEARTS SYNCOPATED
03:16

|
Walk like a woman/told you once or twice you were the only one
I couldn’t be there too
Told you once or twice that there was nothing we could do/ and you know it’s nothing
Two times forward never gonna stop:then we’re gonna hit the
Hearts syncopated/I told you once or twice that it would tear us down/ every standing wall/ I’ve done it all before so I know everything must fall/ and when there’s nothing left at all
I’m crawling underneath the gate
Pissing in the kitchen
