Remember

Do you remember
When the sun came out?
We walked along the riverbend
Do you remember
The rays shining down
When the end of the world all began
At first there was the government
with corruption at its best
The tension was risin'
But they couldn't care less
We saw them circling
Like some vultures in the wind
Our blood was curdling
And the darkness pulled me in
On our knees worshipping
The corrupted and the damned
It's time for harvesting
And the wolves to eat the lambs
Do you remember
Voices calling out
When it didn't make a difference
Do you remember
Having no way out
In the cell where we were always kept
But now the towers tower over us
Making us feel so small
That's what it's like in the apocalypse
And our backs against the wall
You pulled me out and
Flew me away with your wings
Showed me a land of
peace and no one fighting
Their conversations
were normal just like before
No trace of violence
And bloodied soldiers of the war
(Do you remember, remember please)

The Academy
03:40
|
|||
In the academy
They take the young
To join their side, assimilate
No place to run
They're at your doorstep
Your family cries
Pulled out their guns and shot them dead
Your last goodbye
(They take the young, they take the young)
(With loaded guns, with loaded guns)
(No place to run, no place to run)
(It just begun, it just begun)
Oh oh oh
Oh the academy
Oh oh oh
They're always watching me
Oh oh oh
Wish it was just a dream
But lord you just can't sleep
In the academy
In the academy
You're six years old
You gotta learn to pull the trigger
Or they'll break your nose
They're always watching
Your every move
They beat you down and break your spirit
'Til it buries you
(Yeah truth be told, yeah truth be told)
(The story goes, the story goes)
(At six years old, at six years old)
(They'll break your nose, they'll break your nose)
They pin you down
And feed you lies
Stripped of your rights
To join their side
They'll shoot you
Right between the eyes
If you resist
So don't blink twice
Pin you down
Feed you lies
Stripped your rights
Join their side

Digging
03:36
|
|||
The siren sounds
As we line up
Face to the ground
One by one
We know that they're
Always watching us
Have to escape
Feel powerless
We're prisoners in this town
There's no way out
I can't get through it now...
I'm digging
I'm digging a hole to China
Digging a hole so no one will come and find us
I'm digging with the lights out
We'll have to fight out before they find out
When darkness falls
We make our move
Make sure that nobody
follows you
We sneak around
Without a light
Push comes to shove
We'll put up a fight
We're prisoners in this town
There's no way out
I can't get through it now...
I'm digging
I'm digging a hole to China
Digging a hole so no one will come and find us
I'm digging with the lights out
We have to run run run away from this town
We have to run run run without making a sound
We have to run run run away from this town
We have to run run run without making a sound
oh oh
We have to run run run away from this town
We have to run run run without making a sound
oh oh
We're prisoners in this town
There's no way out
No way out
I'm digging
I'm digging a hole to China (digging a hole, digging a hole)
Digging a hole so no one will come and find us
I'm digging with the lights out
We'll have to fight out before they find out

Rats and Sewage
04:24
|
|||
We dug the dirt, builds under our nails
Rely on touch, reading rocks like braille
Can't see ahead on this muddy trail
Try to stay sane and not go off the rails
I feel alone, I'm in a hole and
I feel alone, I'm in a hole and
It smells like rats and sewage in this filthy hole
Crawling through the dark tunnel like a mole
Holding onto things like pieces of my soul
Oh, oh
Our knees are scraped, bloody and bruised
In this escape from your noose
We had to relive the abuse
But now the soldiers have been let loose
Oh oh oh
Rats and sewage
Oh oh oh
Rats and sewage
Water drips and echoes like a siren song
Treading through this sewage almost all day long
I wonder how my life has gone so very wrong
Is this where I belong?
Rats and sewage (oh oh oh)
Water drips and echoes like a siren song
Rats and sewage (oh oh oh)
Water drips and echoes like a siren song
Is this where I belong
Is this where I belong

December Opera
03:37
|
|||
December snows fall onto the cold ground
I just knew something was wrong
I could feel it in my soul
Burying my love on this mountain
Shovel crunching on soil
We were forever
Now lay me to rest
I remain living in a dream
Playing out a nightmare
I remain living in a dream
The opera is over
Migrant bird fleeing the cold
Leaving the nest behind
Back to whence it came
Back over the sea
Feathers falling from my fingers
It's the nature of winged ones
Knowing doesn't stop the hurt from sinking deep
Feels like a hundred pins and needles
Left feeling not good enough
Can't see the stars in the dark of the night
No love even for myself
Can't sleep can't think can't breathe

The Hunt
03:11
|
|||
It's time to fight
The demons through the gate
A moment of silence
In this cruel twist of fate
Come on out
You know there's no place to hide
We've got scouts
In the forest as our eyes
On the hunt is a lion with its pride
And you're the prey
And now the hunt is on
The lambs are on the run
No way they're too far gone
And now the hunt is on
Arrows and guns are drawn
Upon the innocent
And now the hunt is on
We got the lithium
In this delirium
The weak and the wounded
Are pleading for their lives
The huntress pursues them
The hunted try to survive
Come on out
You know there's no place to hide
We've got scouts
In the forest as our eyes
Burning lungs and the taste of cyanide
There's no escape
Watch out
The storm is coming
The rain of bullets falling
The fog of war is blinding
With lightning strikes around me
Watch out
The wind is rushing
The roar of thunder drumming
The waves of water flooding
When they're on the hunt
The hunt is on

Imagine
04:12
|

Close your eyes and imagine
A world that's pure and blue
No guns, war and violence
No evil to pursue
Close your eyes and imagine
A world that's full of love
Just block your ears my dear
'Cause they're shooting their guns
(I close my)
I close my eyes
And see you right beside me
I did not cry
Despite the wounds that I bleed
And as the sky opens up
I hear the angels singing out
Their song of love
Focus on my voice my dear
Ignore the noise outside
Please don't cry my baby boy
It'll be alright
Close your eyes and imagine
A peaceful, quiet place
Just block your ears my dear
I see fear on your face
(I close my)
I hear the lullaby
Your singing sounds so clear
I will dry my eyes
From crying all those tears
You said it would be alright
But mom you're just not here anymore, anymore
It'll all be over soon
We're safe and sound inside
If things go wrong my baby boy
Remember where to hide
I promise to protect you dear
With all of my life
I hear the lullaby
Your singing sounds so clear
You said it would be alright
But mom you're just not here
Where are you

Prince of Pluto
04:06
|
|||
In a galaxy so far away
lived a prince, alone in outerspace
Watching moons, but felt so out of place
With the stars that shone so bright
As Saturn's rings go round and round
The poor boy's temples pound and pound
His head so clouded by the darkness
Tempted by its sweet embrace
The prince who lives in outerspace
Floats towards the black hole
That felt so warm and kind
The spirits tell him turn around
Release your pride, remove your crown
That black hole won't fix anything
They said go to pluto
Swallowed by the last goodbye
His mother said to him that night
He's felt so lonely ever since
Whispers of her lullaby
Twist and turn just like the kite
the prince had once flew with innocence
Like a puppet show in city streets
The prince will entertain with broken strings
Pulled from left to right, lost all control
The boy left out of breath, the curtains close
As a dying star his fire dims
Fish ain't fish no more if they can't swim
His self worth dissipates in the dust
The copper on his crown begins to rust
"Is this the end?" he mutters
He's got no fight left in him
His mother's spirit flutters in
Carries away her dying prince

Eclipse
05:47
|
|||
A king that'll never be
Frozen in a memory
The lies and the treachery
The end of a century
The weeping willow tree
A youthful fantasy
Caught in the reverie
Of a symphony
In the eclipse
The sky's ever-changing
Sweet abyss
The moonlight is fading
We fought to the death
And we're lightyears apart
Though this is the end
I'll be there in your heart
Through the eclipse
The prince that was left to die
In a grave of dirt he lies
Felt so empty on the inside
Such loneliness he lost his mind
The queen tried with all her might
To save the poor boy's fading light
But now he roams the streets at night
With the stars
In the eclipse,
The seasons have changed
Eternal bliss
Surrendered your reign
I know you're in pain
Bones left broken and scarred
The moon and sun are in place
And we're not very far
From the eclipse
