Time Is a River

Time is a River
Time is river
it wants to lose control
time is a winner
it wants lick my bones
I want to lose it
I didn't choose this
I won't confuse it
can I prove it?
when he's rolling out to sea
and you're changing with the leaves
when the day turns into night
take his hand he's always right
Time is a river
it gets your heart and soul
time is a winner
and then it wants some more
I want to waste it
so I can taste it
I can't replace it
can I face it?
When he's rolling like a stone
and you're sinking into drink
when the night turns into day
get behind him he's ok

Endless War

Endless War
In your little ease
Imprisoned,
Frozen vision
Cuckolds crack
Come back as
Tasteless, racist rapists
In a spin
Lost for all words
And burned
What you claim
Pleased to remain
In chains
We’ve got an endless war
We’ve got an endless war
On our hands
We’ve got an endless war
We’ve got an endless war
On our hands
In the streets
Complete invasive, safe
Complacence
Starry eyed
Inclined to mindless
Trite contrivance
In a bind
Won’t wonder why
You whine
What you say
Pleased to deny and lie
We’ve got an endless war
We’ve got an endless war
On our hands
We’ve got an endless war
We’ve got an endless war
On our hands
Incomplete
entreating thieves to fleece
conceited dreams of life or death
bereft of zest
a pest
In a jam
about all that I can stand
what you want
pleased to belong
and wrong
We’ve got an endless war
We’ve got an endless war
On our hands
We’ve got an endless war
We’ve got an endless war
On our hands

End Of Faith

End of Faith
This is the end of faith
The poisonous talking snake
Freedom at last
Chains of the past
What took so long
to write this song?
You’ve come a long long way
but this is our day
This is the end of faith
the lie with the human face
sin without God
isn’t it odd?
just failed the test
it’s for the best
You’ve come a long long way
but this is our day
Like a debt followed through
overpriced but overdue
This is the end of faith
the dawn of a golden age
dream a new dream
love a new love
unlock your mind
make friends with time
You’ve come a long long way
but this is our day

Verse: B, B5

In with the Out Crowd

In With the Out Crowd
We are the one true way
We’re all the rage
You used to speak freely
Now you feed the beast
Bleating sheep
fill the streets
with real sensitivities
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
We are the true victims
and we get no respect
offering new perspectives
Some would say regressive
Speak for God
hide the girls
O brave old world!
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Because we love death
Because we love death
Because we love death
Because we love death
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd
Get in with the out crowd

Sweet Libertine

Sweet Libertine
In the showers
in the shadows
she's a demon
she's the measure of your dreams
lend her your eyes
find what it means
like a first kiss
she's a secret
she's an angel
when I hear her purr and moan
hard as a charge straight to the bone
she's like a toy the way she spins
around the world
the yes girl
she's like a toy the way she spins
around the world
the yes girl
In the basements
in our bedrooms
she's a lover
she uncovers everything
lend her your mind
find what it means
like a first love
she's a secret
she's a rebel
when she takes on our whole gang
into the groove
into the bang
she's like a toy the way she spins
around the world
the yes girl
she's like a toy the way she spins
around the world
the yes girl
Sweet Libertine
Sweet Libertine...

Spirit shadows
I would like to lighten my load
Awful dreams I burn explode
Like a vagrant
Like a refugee
Like a savior
Your penitent
In the basement
An epiphany
It's contagion
a new despair
I lie uncrucified
I lie uncrucified
I lie uncrucified
I lie uncrucified

Ooh La La
Summer came
torched my heart
left me cold
drowning heat
melting feet
makes me bold
hey girls, let's unwind
entwined
lace and pretty face
escapists
see the way we shine
like a new valentine
and the way we talk
like a 'cock-of-the-walk'
Ooh La La
Ooh La La
Summer shame
touched my heart
like a dart
frowning streets
dizzy beats
it gets dark
hey girls, I insist
more bliss
sheer lust, pleasing all
enthralled
see the way we shine
like a new valentine
and the way we talk
like a 'cock-of-the-walk'
Ooh La La
Ooh La La

Creatures
I am a man
I am a beast
a grain of sand
a creature of ease
I take the beauty
I do my duty
I'm on the inside
always the right side
Creatures of denial you're a creature
Creatures of denial you're a creature
Creatures of denial you're a creature
I am a man
I am a god
a creature of shame
you are the pain
I state my dictum
I blame the victim
I'm on the outside
I make the world cry
Creatures of denial you're a creature
Creatures of denial you're a creature
Creatures of denial you're a creature

Dark Age

Dark Age
Some people just want to die for something
Some leaders of men oblige them
In a cave any lies will do
And the temperature's rising too
Some say this is your dark age
Some say the truth is what you feel
Some say this is our dark age
I say zombies are real
Some people need someone else to hate
Some need to be tempting fate
in a place where there's no escape
must be some other human race
Some say this is your dark age
Some say the truth is what you feel
Some say this is our dark age
I say zombies are real
Some say this is your dark age
Chords: E. D
