Lights On
Dead of winter 2020 A plague is on the rise As it sweeps across the planet Humanity's demise In the course of empire we have put ourselves to sleep Rise and fall and overreaching brings us to our knees When every child becomes a human sacrifice And everybody's seeing darkness in the light We bring a sleeping peace Cause a holy war By war of correction We got what we're asking for Man's a destructive beast Burned it all too hard By way of correction No worse than the atom bomb Carve a coal-fired engine From a mammoth tusk Proud of our invention Don't care about the cost The tipping point is now Out among the demon seed Ouroboros is upon us A limit has been reached When every child becomes a human sacrifice And everybody's seeing darkness in the light We bring a sleeping peace Cause a holy war By war of correction We got what we're asking for Man's a destructive beast Burned it all too hard By way of correction No worse than the atom bomb In the course of empire we have put ourselves to sleep Rise and fall and overreaching brings us to our knees When every child becomes a human sacrifice And everybody's seeing darkness in the light We bring a sleeping peace Cause a holy war By war of correction We got what we're asking for Man's a destructive beast Burned it all too hard By way of correction No worse than the atom bomb

A shot is fired, a man is down Somebody's grieving as darkness falls on our town Criminal behavior, vigilante law Looking like you don't belong here Gonna run you down Domination nightmare Dogs are off the leash Hatred, anger, spite and fury Fight or flight or freeze Silent call, dog whistle Round them up like sheep Living in a nightmare Dogs are off the leash History's a vicious circle of razor wire fence Criminal behavior Dark side of the law Fear is lurking because of driving through a sundown town Shaky foundation Backs against a wall Hatred, anger, spite and fury Heaven turns to hell A silent call, a dog whistle Round them up like sheep So tired of waiting There is no time to waste, The time is now to steal or borrow Pressure needs release Hey, if you're looking to fight This is not the night, this is eye for eye Hey, if you wanna do right This is not the night, this is eye for eye A shot is fired, a man is down Somebody's grieving as darkness falls on our town Hey, if you're looking to fight This is not the night, this is eye for eye Hey, if you wanna do right This is not the night, this is eye for eye

I put a spell on you and I'll see it through You are paralyzed you can't escape it And when I set a trap, you run into it Surrender all your dreams Give them all to me I will crush them with my behavior Pass it back to you Let you see it through We are morally bankrupt and we give it to our living stock Seven generations lost at sea Like grains of sand We feel it slipping through our hands Time is a thief who's lost at sea In your fever dreams In your quarantine The house of cards that we built is falling And no amount of gold could buy back your soul Now it's up to you reinvent the truth Make your way in a power vacuum And when you see it through There's nothing left of you We are morally bankrupt and we give it to our living stock Seven generations lost at sea Like grains of sand We feel it slipping through our hands Time is a thief who's lost at sea There's a blight upon the hemlocks There's a change upon the wind Now a stranger walks among us The wasted time just bring us to our knees We are morally bankrupt and we give it to our living stock Seven generations lost at sea Like grains of sand We feel it slipping through our hands Time is a thief who's lost at sea Lost at sea

Change is the reason Forcing us to be things we don't recognize Running wild in the streets All bent and twisted with a loaded gun False idols Sacrificial lambs Running headlong towards fate We will be damned All bent and twisted Pushed to the edge There's nothing left for us to do You run in chains It's now or never Somebody told me things have to change but change takes forever Wretched child If only it was sleep What drove you wild Was secrets that we keep All bent and twisted with a loaded gun False idols Sacrificial lambs Running headlong towards fate We will be damned All bent and twisted Pushed to the edge There's nothing left for us to do You run in chains It's now or never Somebody told me things have to change but change takes forever Somebody told me change gotta come They say conditions are right for revolution

You're not too pretty but you're straightforward When you know what you want you go right for it You look and listen, take it all in What we're building up to baby, is a life of sin Random desire Moth to the flame Caught the smell of you Like gasoline Got me looking around Not sure what hit me I let you take over Lose control, leave my heart wide open Been isolated, I choose you baby Condition red Got a fire from my heart to my head Code blue, Code blue I think I want you Locked on target You fire your pheromones You walked up to me and just started talking In passion's kingdom There's a willful prison And I find myself in the arms of a stranger Condition red Got a fire from my heart to my head Code blue, Code blue I think I want you Locked on target You fire your pheromones You walked up to me and just started talking In passion's kingdom There's a willful prison And I find myself in the arms of a stranger Random desire Moth to the flame In passion's prison We make our own rules Our love is special baby It's not meant for this world The captive mating of the rock 'n roll animal Do it with the lights on night after night and that's alright Condition red Got a fire from my heart to my head Code blue, Code blue I think I want you

Riding the world out from east to west Over the mountains and onto the steppes Fighting besides their brothers in arms The surest of archers, the fiercest of swords Oh how they loved life on the plains Nomadic people unfettered unchained Riding across the known universe Warrior women and warrior girls One with horses and quick with the whip Nothing can stop them, they are the wind Ride out! Thundering hordes Archers on horseback will fight you No remorse Scythian women Sounds like thunder from far away Striking fear in the hearts of the dead In all of the speed on which they descend As soon as they come, they are gone again Mothers teach daughters to go for the kill To build the strength and the aim and the skill Taking no prisoners and traveling light The wind on their backs as they ride to a fight One with horses and quick with the whip Nothing can stop them, they are the wind Ride out! Thundering hordes Archers on horseback will fight you No remorse Scythian women

Should have left you in the garden Should have tied you to a tree Should have fed you poison apples None of this would ever be Remember! In the garden all is lost not forgotten It is dark and hard to see Measured footsteps One by one we all get through it We have no choice cause we are weak Where is the lamplight? The spark within that guides us through the night The inspiration, sheer creation It's a hero's end when you rise up from the floor to fight again But you take a seat within the garden In your dreaming The floor beneath becomes the ceiling And you know that you are lost So you lie waking Hoping that you won't be taken By the sickness and the loss Where is the lamplight? The spark within that guides us through the night The inspiration, sheer creation It's a hero's end when you rise up from the floor to fight again But you take a seat within the garden All hope is fading and other is all around We have lost our nature to a wicked twisted sound A light within shines like a prism In your darkest hours all is forgiven Remember! Where is the lamplight? The spark within that guides us through the night The inspiration, sheer creation It's a hero's end when you rise up from the floor to fight again But you take a seat within the garden

Trade in the sun Tunnel vision, light's precision This may be the end of luck Cold is the night Moving on towards the light This is the dawn of a transition Gone is the innocence, a trial by fire, Let's all talk frankly now 'Cause I think we're in denial It's a cold arrival Walk into this world alone Bent on our own survival Finally I see I'm coming home There are no more doors to open and you think you're in your prime Don't know what's gonna happen It all goes down on borrowed time A cry for help A total breakdown You're ending up where you began Believing the lies A total shakedown What goes around comes around again Dead on arrival I've seen it before Spend all my money trying to live Now I see death is a door Live for survival You're pushing too hard The only thing I know for sure Is I know death is a door There are more doors to open and the wind is in your bones Darkness taking your breath over You're gonna leave your body alone Death still knocking on the door And it feels like we've been here before A disembodied spirit seeks a home A cry for help A total breakdown You're ending up where you began Believing the lies A total shakedown What goes around comes around again Dead on arrival I've seen it before Spend all my money trying to live Now I see death is a door Live for survival You're pushing too hard The only thing I know for sure Is I know death is a door It's a cold arrival Walk into this world alone Bent on our own survival Finally I see I'm coming home Dead on arrival I've seen it before Spend all my money trying to live Now I see death is a door Live for survival You're pushing too hard The only thing I know for sure Is I know death is a door Trade in the sun Tunnel vision, light's precision This may be the end of luck Gone is the innocence, a trial by fire, Let's all talk frankly now I think we're in denial
