Upon Deaf Ears
Blinded you shelter me from reality Hanging on never wrong crucifying me Altars smoke blackened through the years Never washed by tears frozen there With my despair for your security Once more the drama begins in passion play rivals don't win Feel the weaker of the two where the skin is thin the pain shows through The pain shows through Shadows once denied reveal anger and selfish pride Your emotions on parade at my expense tedious charade Awakened, as if I was never there in your greedy care Out from hell Azrael calmly pulls my soul Risen, from a sunken fate reanimate Ancient vow helpless now stripped of its control control I won't drink violence you demand Fool's message falls from nervous hands Clearing skies give way (hear my suicide) The spirit and the bride said come and I betrayed The stone now rolled away (it took my will) I found the miracle within tedious charades

Constantly I find myself searching for answers Only to learn I didn't really want to know But now and then upon a circumstance There waits discovery enlightenment we all need light to grow Walking empty streets at night silhouette in moonlight Petitioning revelation to bring life's frustration down Discovery revelation Enlightenment to end frustration Suddenly I seem so small in my surroundings An iota of something so much more Eons will erase a man no matter what his victories Light breaks through a newly opened door To realize I'm just a man helpless in a master plan Knowledge an open door Infinity a slave no more Discovery I must know Offer me light to grow Supply me the power to make it so Supply me with light to grow Out from life's undertow Nourish me with light to grow Possibilities expanding all around me Even in the depths of my despair Fight to gain dominion over feelings that surround me Enter reality they vanish in thin air Constantly I find myself searching for answers Only to learn I didn't really want to know But now and then upon a circumstance There waits discovery enlightenment we all need light to grow

Before the ancient cultures the first birth of a sun Through decades generations and eons yet to come In a time when there was nothing there still existed time And when the human race is done it will leave us all behind The days we judge by hours the years we judge by days But looking at eternity there's so many different ways To some it means religion to some just an idea Some men can't see past today but to me it's coming clear [Chorus:] Alpha and omega except for eternity What you thought unreal has finally come to be Never say never because you might have to see Halfway to forever is where we will always be When you think in terms of what's to come and what has gone before Are you bound by your own lifetime or is there something more The only guarantee in life is a lifetime guarantee All the world's a stage an when the show's done we'll still be.... Just a tiny atom in a never ending sea The most a single life could ever be And when this world is gone for the worse or for the better We'll still be only halfway to forever [Solo: Dolliver] [Solo: Goldsmith] With a dream of immortality each man completes his tasks To conquer what is infinite he knows not what he asks To step across the border that defines the age of man Yet that is just a tiny grid in an endless master plan

Look in the glass at the universal ice Through it I pass at the speed of light I walk the decades ten at a step or make the moment freeze in my grip I breathe the centuries I bend your destinies I bind reality I am galactic energy I sing the song of Saturn's rings I tightwalk on cosmic strings I wrote the music Venus sings I handed Mercury his wings I am the reason seasons turn and why the lakes in hell still burn I am forever... I am the minute man [Solo: Dolliver] [Solo: Goldsmith] I build the empires I appoint the lords I set the standards I swing the swords I paint the shadows behind the doors I chose the heroes I pay the whores I bare within my mind treasures you'll never find I govern space and time I watch the world through ancient eyes I sing the song of Saturn's rings I tightwalk on cosmic strings I wrote the music venus signs I handed Mercury his wings And I'm the reason seasons turn and why the lakes in hell still burns I am forever... I am the minute man

Coincide Subdivide, technical wars Formulate Calculate industries whores Little faults in the system Always reducing men to their ranks in a time of no choosing Balance is gone assiduity Resplendent drone deranged machine See what I mean Monochrome skies paint future scenes of a corporate scheme Graft display turn away the poor and the weak Always there they don't care bow down at their feet Sinews of war and all the redemption go up in smoke There's been no reflection grinding their gears a prosaic aim So when you look what do you see vulgarity Monochrome skies paint future scenes of a corporate scheme Hidden orbs focus in on me impart neuroticy To a liquid mind all they find is a piece of time Confounding what's left of me Modern medicine a form of strategy Designed to ensure our purity Endeavor for immortality Zeros and ones defining me Dollar signs are everywhere Incorporated stare a lighthouse for the blind Meiropol is standing by to quench the truthful lie Computer serving mind Silent loudness now speaks to me imprinted echoes ring endlessly Emotion stripped down to the core An impulse nothing more inside our empty selves Sex is sterile now alone now anyone can own a piece of someone else Predictability is comforting Vapid gray this future seen [Solo: Goldsmith] Zeros and ones are all that we are Sins of the thinking machine have brought us this far Human error replaced by efficiency A permanent program raping mortality When man is reduced to a number sums and equations defined Replaced by zeros and ones he'll be left behind [Solo: Dolliver]

In secret rooms with whispered words they spoke of changes A new world order free of fault to span the ages A perfect plan in a perfect world the perfect fantasy And I know that next that it's me An unfinished fight is a thief in the night That returns to tear out your heart Ashes to ashes dust to dust enemy armor left to rust One strike is all that it takes One strike an enemy makes One strike bringer of changes suffer the pain cause it's war An upper echelon power grip money's talking In the streets it has turned its back a nightmare stalking The scales of justice work for some and let the rest go free As the blood runs through your hands I know that next it's me One strike is all that it takes One strike an enemy makes One strike bringer of changes suffer the pain cause it's war [Solo: Dolliver] [Solo: Goldsmith] In churches built for worship the altars are empty To finance a minority rule the offerings are plenty A perfect plan in a perfect world perfect hipocrisy And I know next that it's me One strike is all that it takes One strike an enemy makes One strike bringer of changes suffer the pain cause it's war

Endless is the road I walk merciless is time Frustrations black and white contentment less defined Bravery through confidence humility with pride I can face tomorrow if supplied This course was set at your decree surely you must have a plan for me This prayer I give to you tonight Lead and direct me with your guiding light Instill me with the power to smile even as I push myself to walk the extra mile Fuel me with desire like phoenix to rise from a fire I offer up but what I am another lost and lonely lamb

I've felt the deadly grip of compromise And fought to keep conviction burning in my eyes Surrender perseverance doesn't recognize And with the light of each new day I'll find my way Beneath the pulsing beat of neon heat and city streets Or on a mountain side under moonlit sky with stars on high The answer lies not so much in where you are But destination and what you'll find Into the fire some would throw their lives And hope that with security and fear subsides Dreams and ambitions they would choose to hide A disregarded spirit leaves them empty inside Inside of every man a master plan the high command Truth to one's self is shelter from the storm and keeps the sin unborn The greatest truth I've ever known has been where truth begins where fear ends How sad a man could lose his destiny to the powers that be in this world For just outside this lifetime is a higher call stand or fall Victory is more than just security Affluency has no jurisdiction over death Victorious the man who stands his ground and won't go down But offers to the cause his every breath I've felt the deadly grip of compromise And fought to keep conviction burning in my eyes Surrender perserverence doesn't recognize And with the light of each new day I'll find my way I've seen the empty eyes, believing lies hypnotized I stand uncompromised and await the new sunrise The greatest truth I've ever known has been where truth begins is where fear ends Victory is more than just security Affluency has no jurisdiction over death Victorious the man who stands his ground and won't go down But offers to the cause his every breath
