The Great Work

Tonight follow the way that the black sky leads Villains, lustful the thirst of the night When we become something else Prowl ground leave not a trace of the prize that's found Curse this, or display your displeasure Banished to darkness forever Aloud, all hell breaks loose when they hear that sound Hounds cry, the chase is about to ignite And it's my head that's the prize Anger displacent I cannot trust in their patience For the wrong I have made The guilt I must feel for the part that I've played An image has replaced your name We will suffer this together, forever For crimes committed you're now shamed I hear fallen angels speak my name out loud United by guilt they sing the anthem, sing it proud We will suffer this together, forever For crimes committed you're now shamed And at the supreme moment The seed springs forth Carving lines in the wall How the legends can fall History repeats again The age of men know not blood They just know fear is weakness Yet they don't speak it Where is the tongue? Karma aims a lightning bolt at the few, Eternal sleep overdue A blackened mass stand and wait at the door And at the supreme moment The seed springs forth

Infinity is nothing In the garden of the dead The hand of doom put under Six feet of earth And a coffin for bed Dead bodies walking We don't know why Hate, fear and loathing Is useless Let sleeping corpses die Infinity is all In the meaning of life Always there, no tear at your skin There is nothing left But soul sacrifice Dead bodies walking We don't know why Hate, fear and loathing Is useless Let sleeping corpses die The dead are walking and are coming your way You better watch out cos they ain't here to play They want to catch you and to tear you apart To greet you, to eat you and that's just the start Death toll rises as the zombies live on They won't stop until the meat is all gone Bones and dust is all that will be left then They've got you, now you too, are now one of them Dead bodies walking We don't know why Hate, fear and loathing Is useless Let sleeping corpses die

Never I thought my journey to be The riding of waves upon this cruel sea Titan awakes, in my mind evolves From shanty of seadog and stories of old Black dawn horizon beckons me forth Into the abyss we ride Set sail on course over boundaries of men Where only the strong can survive Embracing the moment in our time to come The legend of iron men spirit lives on Questioning nature and mans fear of god Under the wasteland where we all belong Black dawn horizon beckons me forth Into the abyss arrive Set sail on course over boundaries of men Where only the strong can survive Timbers crack beneath my feet To expose the mysterious deep Fingers breaking I can't hold on Torn apart by Neptune's song Only the strong can survive

Elation, sanctuary instilled in me The words ring true Spoken wise they lead me Write my obituary Fears grip won't keep me in It's thrown my life the key When will the end be Cruel intentions Through the darkness they will feed All your minds inventions I would love to believe Sit back a shock implodes straight Coal black hearts will break Another fatal mistake Leads me to the conclusion vile In the shadows of the lost man Lives a soul of strength And with the pain to vanquish He will rise again In the valley of the demons Lies a mist of mind Yes the home is where the heart is But I rot like wasted wine You gave me the chance Redemption I could believe I loved you all the way to your grave beneath the trees But it must be this way the shape it cannot alter A mission sent from god, a plan that will not falter In the shadows of the lost man Lives a soul of strength And with the pain to vanquish He will rise again In the valley of the demons Lies a mist of mind Yes the home is where the heart is But I rot like wasted wine

The Great Work now, as we move into a new millennium, is to carry out the transition from a period of human devastation of the Earth to a period when humans would be present to the planet in a mutually beneficial manner. Our own special role, which we will hand on to our children, is that of managing the arduous transition from the terminal Cenozoic to the emerging Ecozoic Era, the period when humans will be present to the planet as participating members of the comprehensive Earth community.

In the house The walls are filled with stark reminders Stains of glories old Aspirations die Blown away like dust They settled for too long Through the greif I feel I must be strong I understand why you run and you hife, because I am the night Doors slam that I thought were locked Driven insane by the tick of the clock I find a man that I must assume As I'm bed bound in the house of doom They scream my name I'm hearing things again The solitary silence marks a breakdown I fell in my brain Objects come alive Point the finger, ask the question Am I in control? Or is this just a self-concious suggestion I understand why you run and you hife, because I am the night Doors slam that I thought were locked Driven insane by the tick of the clock I find a man that I must assume As I'm bed bound in the house of doom

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Adversity embraces me In a world of cruel device In my mind I'm so frustrated I can't get no respite People smile then cut me down The moment my back's turned One day soon they'll realise It's them that I have burned down Anger burns as my temper rages I keep it all inside In defiance my fist it clenches I'll leave you all behind Soaring high into the sky On a doomsday revelation There's no way that you can beat True grit determination Follow me and you will see That we'll get there somehow It's too late to bring me down You can't stop me now Anger burns as my temper rages I keep it all inside In defiance my fist it clenches I'll leave you all behind

Especially to blame for The damge that's been done Intent to wage war upon Mankind all creation It just needs to be done You must stand to fall Work for one Brand them all Worship thee This will be eternity This will be the benchmark set forever I walk through walls you have built inside your minds I am the crushing fear that waits behind you Upon the surface bliss But underneath seathes something deadly Thoughts so divine Take time to judge a situation Once over looked we shall befall you Ending your line You must stand to fall Work for one Brand them all Worship thee This will be eternity I walk through walls you have built inside your minds I am the crushing fear that waits behind you Existence now rotting slowly

How can we search for the meaning of life when death comes at a price for us all The fact we exist for the right to be free but at the end and the start we all crawl to where we need to be Time has me entombed A filth encrusted womb A dream I must pursue To be born into a place I dwell upon Time will be the death of all this bliss I can't find a way to get through this Moments passed will all intertwine when your rise is exchanged for your fall Natural instinct and the fortune we crave gave the answer we seek above all, why we exist to be Time has me entombed A filth encrusted womb A dream I must pursue To be born into a place I dwell upon Time will be the death of all this bliss I can't find a way to get through this Pushing and pulling me to the dark side I realise how this establishment slides Stone has been cast to decide The fact you forgot the place you reside All of my dreams multiplied When I am god and you are denied Time has me entombed A filth encrusted womb A dream I must pursue To be born into a place I dwell upon Time will be the death of all this bliss I can't find a way to get through this
