Vendetta
--------------------
I know my uses, I have my pride
But my heart is still untamed
I learned my lessons, I've conquered death
I go on and I?m unashamed
I?ll paint your bones to match my eyes
They?re the darkest I have ever seen
Until I?m lucid I can?t be told
I know my voices, they tell me to believe
Another fucking accident out of control
All the attitudes will never change
My imitations are leading the way
I can't accept that I still don?t find this strange
In light of my ability to feel denial
I walk away from everything with just a smile
The agony of coming home has gone away
It's everywhere, it's everyone, it's everyday
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Are you ready for the time of your life?
I beg your pardon, I'm out of the way
A new conspiracy has taken my place
So over and over I smell the decay
Believe what you want to, the cycle stays the same
In light of my ability to undermine
I walk away from apathy, I'm feeling fine
The agony of cynicism beckons me
It's everywhere, it's everyone, it's everything
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Let's pretend we're not at the end
Pretend that we have nothing left
Let's pretend we're not at the end
Pretend that we have nothing left
Let's pretend we're not at the end
The Shattered Fortress
-----------------------------
X. Restraint
Freedom--calls my name
Serenity--keeps me sane
Happineses--it dulls the pain
Honest--to see my place
Open--to other ways
Willingness--to understand
Justice--but do not judge
Courtesy--for others' flaws
Kindness--it's not that hard
Self-restraint--of toungue and pen
Inventory--my daily friend
Analysis--let down your guard
Look in the mirror
What do you see?
The shattered fortress
That once bound me
Fateful ascent
Through darkest fires
I've found the path
To take me higher
You're smart enough for me to trust go live your life now
Just keep these steps in your life and you'll know how
If you're not sure, ask yourself
"Have I done to them
As I would have them do to me?"
Look in the mirror
What's that you see?
The shattered fortress
Fly now be free
Fateful ascent
Through darkest fires
I've found the path
To take me higher
I once thought it better to be right
But now I have finally seen the light
Sometimes you've got to be wrong
And learn from mistakes
I live with serenity now
Not self-righteous hate
XI. Receive
Now that you can see all you have done
It's time to take that step into the kingdom
All your sins will help to make you strong
And help you break right through the prison wall
Keep all of me
The desires that once burned me deep inside
Help me live today
And help to give me grace
To carry out your way
I am ready
Help me be all I can be
I am ready
Help guide me and keep me free
XII. Responsible
I am responsible
When anyone, anywhere
Reaches out for help
I want my hand to be there
I am responsible
When anyone, anywhere
Reaches out for help
I want my hand to be there
Stranger In a Strange Land
-----------------------------------
Enemy of mine
Fuck you like the devil
violent inside
beautiful and evil
I'm a ghost
you're an angel
one that was saved
just remains of an age
lost in the daydream
what do you see
If you're looking for Jesus
get on your knees
Enemy of mine
I'm just a stranger in a strange land
Running out of time
better go go go
Angel or a demon
It came from my soul
I'm guilty of treason
A vaticans son
Tonight...
angels coming
everybody run
everybody run
You wanna live forever tonight
gonna live forever
Tonight Tonight
(repeat)
lost in the daydream
what do you see
looking for Jesus
get on your knees
Angel or demon
It came from my soul
I'm guilty of treason
a vaticans son
your son
3 Libras [All Main Courses /Massive Attack Mix]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Threw you the obvious
Name
Difficult not to feel a little bit
See you naked
Don't see me
Just to see
Eyes
Fallen angel
Eyes
Here I am expecting just a little bit
The wounded
See through
Threw you the obvious
See what are kept behind
The eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes
You Lied
-----------------------------------
Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh...
Time heals, time congeals around us
Endless hours of wasted moments
Understanding, not demanding
Your eyes tell what you feel inside
Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Shouldn't you have said what you meant?
YOU LIED!
Dark Wings, Dark Words
---------------------------------
It's been a long cold winter, widespread snowfall, raging storms
Caught in winds delusions, of our heart and soul
He came down from the mountains, into our own frozen world
Spoke of revolution, fed us with his words
A sacred man, from the other side
He gave us something to believe in
How could we be so blind?
His right hand gave us freedom, while the other stole the pride
Thought he had the answers, standing by his side
Tales of a world, not so far away
We got entangled in his vows
How could we be so blind?
When the sun and moon unite
Fear Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words
A graven image shattered, a meltdown of our wonderland
As the sun raised slowly, we tried to understand
A sacred heart, lost prosperity
But we found a way back home
From dusk came clarity
When the sun and moon unite
Fear the Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words
When the sun and moon unite
Fear the Dark Winged messenger, dread his darkened words
Insurrection
-------------------
Bow not before his creation
These mortals: "man"
This act of insult
Breeds our discontent
He turned his back
On our loyalty
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
Hell-fire be my destruction
For this war upon heaven
Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war
It is I who spawns this fury
Torches: ignite
Blaze is set to engulf all of which we hate
Storm in, eviscerate
Every motherfucker in our way
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
Hell-fire be my destruction
For this war upon heaven
Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war
Ascend to the heavens
To destroy them all
[solo: CKB]
[solo: MKH]
Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war

Check My Brain
--------------------
here are the songs lyrics:
So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Check my brain
I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah
California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Aaaaah tears have filled my bones
Aaaaah years expended gone
[solo]
I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah
California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
California's all right somebody check my brain
Aaaah tears have filled my bones
Aaaah years expended gone
(x2)
New Divide
-----------------
I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss in every lie
In every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
The Darkest Nights
-------------------------
For so long I
Have felt alone
Content to live with unrest
Longing faded into countless
Nights that buried my
Weary heart
You brought an end
To this dead hour
And meaning to
A calloused life
Held in Your arms
But too far from my heart
(2x)
These thoughts will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in...
These thoughts will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in mine
I remember the way you looked
At me not the way you drew
Drew in me
With one deep sigh
Scattering pieces of my
My restless mind
Forgetting all that we
We have left behind (4x)
These thoughts will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in...
(4x)
The Eyes of Medusa
--------------------------
Can you look into my eyes
Tell me, now do you somehow
still recognize this stare I wear
Through crystal tears
The light escapes my smile
There is no likeness to be seen,
it is so strange to me
Awaken vindication
The mirrors curse-it besets me
Endless, timeless, faceless terror
To the isle of deadly shores
Sightless, countless, ageless
torture
To behold the sight of Medusa's
eyes
Under a spell - I'm enchanted
The hand of fate is never late to
ring the time
I'm forced to climb the walls
A voice bids last farewell
With no beginning or no end to
be found by me
Endless, timeless, faceless terror
To the isle of deadly shores
Sightless, countless, ageless
torture
To behold the sight of Medusa's
eyes
Forsaken
-----------------
For a while
I thought I fell asleep
Lying motionless inside a dream
Then rising suddenly
I felt a chilling breath upon me
She softly whispered in my ear
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
I waited painfully
For night to fall again
Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of and ivory mist
I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson stain on her lips
I have to know your name
Where have I seen your face before?
My dear one don't you be afraid
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
Take me far away
Close your eyes
And hold your breath
To the ends of the earth
Forsaken
I have come for you tonight
Awaken
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Forsaken
Fly away with me tonight
Awaken
Renew my life
Now you are mine
Give yourself up to me
Acid Bubble
-----------------
You tried to kill me off
Surprised I remain
A scale tips impossible
Afraid of my own name
And I always paid attention to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
Unloved inside your mind
Intend obsolescence
Built into the system
x6
[Savagely wicked restart]
I tried to shake it off
You can't remove this stain
A scale breaks impossible
Afraid we are the same
And you never paid attention to all the lines I crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
Unloved inside your mind
Hides in a corner
Dies in a corner
Unloved inside your mind
Intend obsolescence
Built into the system
x4
Built into the system
Built into the system
Constant Motion
---------------------
Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul
Lost illusions of mind control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night
I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I've found
I can never get enough
Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
(Falling down through the night)
Sprawling everywhere
Searching left, searching right
(Panic setting in, I can no longer fight)
When will this end?
Accelerate, dislocate
(Set to crash and burn, haven't got time to waste)
Not planning to return
Aggravate, agitate
(When will I ever learn?)
There's no way out of here
Nowhere to turn
Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts
Of neat disorder
Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Can't stop the wheels from turning
Traveling through both space and time
(You get yours, and I got mine)
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more
Into the night
Blistering
Fiction (Dreams In Digital)
----------------------------------
She's lost in coma where it's beautiful.
Intoxicated from the deep sleep, deep sleep.
Do you wonder what it's like living in a permanent imagination.
Sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that.
Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction.
She dreams in digital, cause it's better than nothing.
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital.
She's dreaming in digital.
And your pixel army can't save you now.
My finger is on the kill switch.
I remember I used to compose your dreams, control your dreams.
And don't be afraid to expose yourself before I shut you down.
You made some changes since the virus caught you sleeping.
Guilty by design, she's nothing more than fiction.
She dreams in digital, cause it's better than nothing.
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital.
Cause it's better than nothing.
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
Se's dreaming in digital. She dreams in digital.
She dreams in digital.
She's guilty by design. (Cause it's better than nothing.)
Now that control is gone. It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital. (She's nothing more than fiction.)
Cause it's better than nothing. Now that control is gone.
It seems unreal.
She's dreaming in digital.
Vicarious
--------------------
Eye on the the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison in his tea...kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies
Don't look at me like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child, watches them die
Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die...from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write as the story's told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die...from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so...
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down
Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and Voyeur
Stare at the transmitter
Synced to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie (x4)
Credulous, divest your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I
Nymphetamine (Jezebel Diva Fix)
------------------------------------------
Led to the river
Midsummer I wave
A "V" of black swans
On with hope to the grave
And through Red September
With skies fire-paved
I begged you appear
Like a thorn for the holy ones
Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced, when you left me
A rose in the rain...
So I swore to the razor
That never, enchained
Would your dark nails of faith
Be pushed through my veins again
Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the binds of your lowliness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key
Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter...
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampiric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better...
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl
Wracked with your charm
I'm circled like prey
Back in the forest
Where whispers persuade
More sugar trails
More white lady laid
Than pillars of salt
Fall to my arms
Hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon
As we did in those golden days
Christening stars
I remember the way
We were needle and spoon
Mislaid in the burning hay
Bared on your tomb
I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon
Come above unto me?
For once upon a time
From the bind of your holiness
I could always find
The right slot for your sacred key
Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart that barless prison
Discolours all with tunnel vision
Sunsetter...
Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampiric addiction
To her alone in full submission
None better...
Nymphetamine
Sunsetter...
Nymphetamine
(Nymphetamine)
None better...
Nymphetamine
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl
In the Castle
--------------------
Would you like to walk into the kingdoms of the sun?
We could walk into the fields to see where it begun,
She could be the answer to your everything,
She could take you anywhere that you have never been.
Staggered along,
Into the crowd,
Could not be define,
She's sitting down,
Beneath the crowd,
Drinking her wine.
And all along,
The answer to everything,
And all along,
It's another way out,
I'm only looking for a way out,
They're only looking for the way out.
Would you like to walk into the kingdoms of the sun?
We could walk into the fields to see where it begun,
She could be the answer to your everything,
She could take you anywhere that you have never been, oh.
Staggered along,
Into the crowd,
Could not define,
She's sitting down,
Beneath the crowd,
Drinking her wine.
And all along,
It's another way out,
And all along,
It's another way out,
They're only looking for the way out,
They're only looking for the way out.
Would you like to go into the kingdoms of the sun?
Search And Destroy
-------------------------------
Grab your gun, time to go to hell
I'm no hero, guilty as charged
Search and destroy
Found my faith living in sin
I'm no Jesus, neither are you, my friend
I'm a whore, I'm perfect, broken dreams
A simple answer is never what it seems
A million little pieces we've broken into
A million little pieces, I stole it from you
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Sold my soul to heaven and to hell
Sick as my secrets, I'm never going to tell
Like to blame, burden of my streams
A curse of faith and less that I believe, I believe
I believe, oh, I believe (A million little pieces...)
I believe
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy, search and destroy
I let go, let go
Let me go, let me go
Let go, let go
Let me go
(Search and destroy...
A million little pieces...)
Stole it from you
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Search and destroy, search and destroy
Last of My Kind
------------------------
So young, so brazen, so unholy
I come to you in painted skies
Your broken saint, your ancient story
The living challenge to your lies
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
Until I...
Take what I wanted, and
Break all the lies and
Defeat the fuckin' liars...
Smash all the temples, and
Crawl through the rubble, and
Cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law
A wolf alone upon the hillside
I live on what they throw away
I go to sleep behind the eight ball
I live to fight for one more day
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
They wanna force my hand
Until I...
Take what I wanted, and
Break all the lies and
Defeat the fuckin' liars...
Smash all the temples, and
Crawl through the rubble, and
Cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing...
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
I'm the last of my kind still standing...
I'm the last of my kind still standing...

Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.
