20 Centuries Gone

All around him, dark of night was falling He was aimless and afraid In one flash of light, he knew he found his calling Intuition guided him to take a leap of faith His fate would unfold His story would be told Connecting our souls Existing all alone Voices beyond him beckoning unconscious minds In his waking life, walking in his sleep At last perceiving past and future both aligned A continuum of destiny Shackled by the iron chains of human will Searching for the ultimate truth Dreaming of the magic that eludes him still Lost inside the memories of fading youth

There are forces we will never understand Lying in wait They are determined to erase all trace of man Already too late Unseen powers that we cannot comprehend Immune to our prayers Doomsday congregations beckoning the end Hypnotized by despair It’s time for us to die We haven’t earned the right to be alive Earth an open grave Our consciousness enslaved Your savior will not appear Lying helpless, crippled by fear We brought it on ourselves Die alone or live together in this hell

What's left inside him Don't he remember us Can't he believe me We seemed like brothers Talked for hours last month About what we wanna be I sit now with his hand in mine But I know he can't feel No one knows what's done is done It's as if he were dead I'm close to his mother And she cries endlessly Lord, how we miss him At least what's remembered It's so important To make best friends in life But it's hard when my friend Sits with blank expressions No one knows what's done is done It's as if he were dead He as hollow as I alone A shed of my friend just flesh and bones There's no soul, he sees no love I shake my fists at skies above Mad at God Mad He as hollow as I conversed I wish he´d waking from this curse Hear my words before it's through I want to come in after you My best friend My best friend Come back

Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy I know I'm my best friend No one cares, but I'm so much stronger I'll fight until the end To escape from the true false world Undamaged destiny Can't get caught in the endless circle Ring of stupidity Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life is for my own to live my own way Rape my mind and destroy my feelings Don't tell my what to do I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side And I can see through you Feed my brain with your so called standards Who says that I ain't right Break away from your common fashion See through your blurry sight Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life is for my own to live my own way See them try to bring the hammer down No damn chains can hold me to the ground Life is for my own to live my own way...

Well, I knocked down on your door, baby, to see if you were at home. Your shade was down, there wasn't even a sound but something told me you weren't alone. What in the world can a nasty dog do but try to get next to you? Don't laugh 'cause it ain't funny. Look how it happened to me. It could happen to you, you could be a fool too and it'd leave you in misery. I guess there's nothin' more funky king can do but to try to get next to you. Mm, well.

Daddy was a Cajun, raised on Southern land And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin' man. Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor "Hey doctor, won't you check his head?" The only thing that was wrong with him Was Johnny Walker's Red He drank ole poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead. It happened back in the bayou many years ago Satan came to take him and he did it real slow Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor The doctor just shook his head, "Twenty years of rotgut whiskey Done killed the poor man dead." He drank ole poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead. Take a tip from me, people... brothers can't you see Ain't no future in ole poison whiskey. They're gonna rush you down to see the doctor, The doctor's gonna shake his head. The only thing he's gonna tell ya "Stop drinkin' Johnny Walker's Red Don't drink poison whiskey, don't you drink it boy.
