Messing with the Holy
05:40
|
|||
No explanation, no alibi
No regeneration,
No way to make the sleeping dog rise
It might’ve seemed right, at the time,
But now we’re thinking twice
We gave in nothing, watchin’ it rush in,
Its another world
Its another world
Tell me you love me, long as you love me, Promise you love me,
Don’t try
Tell me you love me, long as you love me, Promise you love me
Don’t lie
Don’t go messing with the holy
Low ammunition,
Not nearly enough to prove I’m right
No intermission,
No hiding out when things get real uptight
It’s been a proud tradition, to turn away,
But now its another world
Up ahead the water they say gets real thin
Rocks around its easy to smash,
So easy to give in
So easy to lose your way … and lead to ruin
Its best to know what your doin’,
what you’re doing in another world

All Lies
07:06
|

Hit the pavement, Fill your craving
Keep on slaving, For the treasure boy
The streets of gold, Are bought and sold
and make you cold, and leave you wantin’ more
Weigh the promise, Where your heart is
Where the beat is, Can you hear it say
Someone’s falling, Someone’s calling
Someone’s waiting, Try to hide the way
Can you feel it, In a moment
In a minute, The more you need it now
The world is waiting, Still creating
Anticipating, Just a little more
The strong are taking, Clever faking
Only breaking, Just some minor rules
They never seen it, Never heard it
Stand and swear it, Gold’s the Golden Rule
Only dimly, Through a darkway
Down a passage, Endless twisted maze
Halls of stone, This lonely home
Of flesh and bone, In here I’m locked away
Only question, Never answer
No one knocking, No one at the door
So here I am, And here I stand
In here abandoned, This forbidden shore
If I could, I would have seen
I would have been, A better man today
But blind men see, And deaf men hear
And then believe, They’ve seen and heard it all

Anything
04:22
|

If you want the stars
If you want the world
If you want what’s ours
If you want to know the reason why
Anything you want – Anything
Anything you need – Anything
Back before the fall – Anything
Anything at all – Anything
Tell me about your world
When you weren’t so down and locked up baby
Don’t you feel it, don’t you feel it,
Is this feeling crazy?
Reach out and take my hand,
Take my hand and just let go
Anything you need – Anything
Trade your love for greed – Anything
At your beck and call – Anything
You can take it all – Anything
Anything you want – Anything
Anything you need – Anything
Back before the fall – Anything
Anything at all – Anything
Anything you need – Anything
Trade your love for greed – Anything
At your beck and call – Anything
You can take it all – Anything

Give It Up
03:30
|
|||
Please spare me if you’re going to fly away again, again, again
Don’t tell me that you don’t recall the way it ends
Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, Give it up,
Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, time for truth
If you don’t want to, if want don’t want to, if you don’t want to, you got no choice
Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, Give it up,
Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, time to let it out
Won’t you tell me ‘bout
Won’t you tell me ‘bout
Your interesting story, your interesting story, your interesting story, your bald face lies
Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, Give it up,
Give it up, Give it up, Give it up, Give it up,
One last time

Power
03:31
|
|||
You took the truth and then you twisted it around
You don’t do that. You don’t do that.
What did you think you were putting on a crown
You had the power. You had the power.
Set us free but you just brought more pain
Every lie another link in the chain
Rowed us out in the deep blue sea
Tossed us out of the good ship Pharisee
The very thing that you were compromising
Revealed the truth upsidedown
You got too high your ego kept on rising
What goes up, come tumbling down down
Set us free but you just brought more pain
Every lie another link in the chain
Rowed us out into the deep blue sea
Tossed us out of the good ship Pharisee

Its All the Same
04:49
|
|||
Bet you that you don’t know that
– that’s what I’m talking about
Bet you that you don’t know that
– why I’m standing naked here
Through the glass now darkly – we see fantasy
Still the world keeps turning –
Around so endlessly
Its all the same
Heart in my hand – part of the plan
Everyone fallen – to the last man
– all come down
To this again – all come down
To this again – all come down
Its all the same

Why
04:27
|
|||
Catch the wind,
Touch the stars for me
Show the sin,
Of your frozen heart
Teach me now,
Right and wrong to you
Show me how,
The rich and strong – Can take it all
Why? (What were you thinking [of]?)
Lift the veil
With your bloodstained hand
Weave your tale
Of your Holy Land
Hide your shame
Where the children died
By any name
Its still homicide
Why?
Wave your flag
Blood red white and blue
Only snag
It don’t belong to you

What More
06:17
|
|||
Turn your back - with both eyes closed
While you presuppose
That everything’s - so crystal clear
And justified
What more do you want?
See the thorns, See the iron and understand
Feel the spear, Go deep inside,
And burst my heart
Feed the pain, Where darkness reigns,
Unholy night
Then come explain, The coldness there
Toward fellowman
Turn around and see the hand
That guides your heart
Turn around and miss the love
That should be there
All your words and argument are emptiness
As long as we remain right where we are
What more do you want?
Can you feel it, Feel the Spirit, So distressed
Can’t repeal it
The law that all these sins must be confessed
Something twisted, long ago - to make this day
Hang two fisted - passageway - for Hell to pay
Turn around - and see the blackhand
That guards your heart
Turn around and miss the love
That should be there
All your words and hiding place are emptiness
As long as we remain right where we are
What more do you want?
Its crystal clear, Take a look and you can see
Tear by tear, year by year,
Washing over you and me
No more, No more

Where is the Wise Man

In the name of freedom send the war machines
In the name of love
Spill the blood of the Phillistines
Conjure up a government magician to spin truth
Cloak in clever argument
The dreadful waste of youth
Persuade me that you can see
Beyond the mortal veil
Convince me of the greater good in a world That’s all for sale
Show me the powerful still care
Injustice and death everywhere
Strike the cheek and then the other
How easily to twist it all about
Eye for eye a failing logic go ask your mother
Wrong is right and right without a doubt
Show me in the name you go about
Show me In the name when the flame goes out
In the name -
In the name – justification
In the name –
Of war
