Album • 1999
It's a pleasure to burn The flame warms my skin Four hundred fifty one degrees When book paper burns And it burns, and we burn We're firemen Long ago I heard they put fires out Now we blaze ideas for you I grin a fierce grin As flames turn me back Kerosene is spit from this hose The blood it pounds in my head In my head, your books are dead Thoughts in your head Books can't be read or you'll be dead Big brother said thoughts are dead It's fine work that we do Being a fireman has it's rewards Monday burn Melville Wednesday-Wordsworth Friday-Faulkner Burn books to ash then burn the ash Don't question what I do Questions are just for fools Houses have always been flame proof Firemen don't put out flames We've always burnt books Everyone knows Burn books to ash then burn the ash

Have you ever read the books you burn Have you seen the man in the moon Show a driver a blur of green Grass he’ll say, but has he seen Last night late from work I met a girl who asked these things She seemed to be A whisper on the wind The fragrance of memories past Made me cry out loud at last The dry leaves whirled the air Made me ask for what I care! And for the moment I was free again The life I led Was emptied from my head Strange life is this That light shines in From another’s heart One can be reborn Repeat all

Beware psychic welfare Upon the mind of innocent men Parasites from beyond our world Have infested invisibly Growing fear inside me erupts Of unknown which comes from above Abductions of many who claim To be victims of strange rituals Celestial visitors returning Since ancient times To gather specimens for their research Belief their is life other than us In a universe enormously vast Technology is growing so much Keeps the human race in touch Chorus We are not alone in this universe so vast Intelligent life other than us is surely in our grasp We can only hope that time will soon reveal Contact from another world Will prove that this is real

I've been caught They're on to me Metal hound on the loose I just can't last Turned in by my wife Her fear to great What love for me Betrayed! The government Will make a sport of me Hunted like an animal Betrayed! Escape my only thought Will the underground help a fireman Betrayed! Never trust anyone They'll always get you You'll lose They're out to get you Jealousy And spiеs They want my job What's told aren't lies! I lеft a trail The hound attacks Head pounding Betrayed! Never trust anyone They'll always get you You'll lose They're out to get you Doomed No escape One last pain Down to the zone Forbidden place No one can find me They need a sacrifice Innocent blood will do On TV I see Who's supposed to be me Cut down mercilessly Ripped to shreds They've done the deed Betrayed!

Look what you've done, there's no where to run Your bridges are burned, you should have learned Now you are rushing with fear, is the end near! Helpless feelings building inside As emptiness takes you for a ride So go on, feed your arms Stabbing at your veins to kill the pain Look what you've done, are you having fun! Life of misery is what you've become Your words they lack the truth Your life is living proof, how high can you keep your flight Is there no end in sight! Why do you keep doing this Is pain raised to bliss Don't you care what you are doing Your future life to keep screwing Into the grave both feet in hell Sad emotions is where you dwell Addicting pain is all to real The damage done your fate is sealed Solo: 1st jp 2nd sk Look at your arms, tracks mark the way You stabbed yourself each and every day Look what you've done Are you having fun Life of misery, in death you're gone

Born into this life a child in the world of doubt Rejected as an orphan boy torn from his mothers side Dogma thrown in his way obstacles from which to pass The pain his soul endured Has scarred his body fast Defiant in an angry heart stubborn in his ways Determined to reach his goals Though numbered are his days Lost within his mind, emotionally disturbed Abused throughout childhood Wounded deeply by words Submerged in hate and fear Neglected by those around Affliction was all we had, lost and never found But then something snapped within And turned him inside out To survive, life had to change And mend his wounds somehow rebellion against authority To conform he would never submit Punished by society, upon their face he'd spit Solo: sk Scarred for life, wounded deep within Healing the bludgeoned soul Must somehow begin cry out in the night Twisted in delusion crawling into the light Scarred for life Locked within his mind, a solitary prison cell Depression fills him with despair Falling to the depths of hell Alone in a silent rage the final hours near Desperate in insanity He cries, but no one hears Anger consumed his soul In a violent state of mind Destroyed his every thought Soon running out of time Lies he believed from voices in his head Confused in chaos, wishing he was dead Torn into this life a child in disarray Blasphemed upon his soul A victim of his ways Scarred for life

Into the darkness I walk alone and cold Feeling their eyes upon me like stone Deep in the black I'm absorbed by the night Igniting my fear I head to the void Hearing them call, but no one's in sight Feeling their presence, they're ready to strike Shadows are moving in shapes of the trees Engulfed by the darkness, I feel them touching me In your mind their is a dark side As fantasy becomes your darkest fear Terrified you begin running through the haze of the city streets There is no refuge for you, you are lost The games begin as they play with your mind Solo: sk Laughter they're haunting you, twisted they beckon you Specteres await you, wicked the wind seems to whisper Spectres surround you You don't realize you've stepped beyond your realm And only time will tell if you can make it through this hell They don't know all you think, your mind is not your own From the day you were born Still this moment is torn Solo: sk No end to the paranoia that you feel inside Sweat pours from your soul, but there's no where you can hide Solo: jp Help me god hear my cries I don't want to die Predator upon me now as I scream out loud Descending to my grave, running wayward knave I plead with them, spectres pull me in Deep into the black they're pulling me back Dark's the realm evil attacks Deep in the maze my minds in a haze, I'm loosing my sense of reality Will i escape this horrible fate, whispers of death and hell that awaits All of my dreams and life's gone forth Was it in vein that they tell me of course Is the end of this game we pretend, emotional ride that drains me inside Prayers i scream, don't change a thing As the curtain falls on the final scene
