The Tankard

Melt to the beat of the drum Melt to be one, to be one What thou wer'st, what thou be Creature of the hatchery Not a man reeling free Bear this mark of destiny Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Is the song that society sings Soma coma, fucking by numbers And consume as much as you can Free from love, free from hate Sterile and stable Urge and instinct channeling Feeling disabled Pour the genes into the mould Of what is needed Engineer conformity The pool is weeded Chorus: No more devils, no more heaven Grave new world Free and killing or bound and willing Slave or savage Dear the calm weighed in souls But the matter goes untold What was one man's alone Multiplies in wretched clones Endless columns, mother of sameness Breeding life in a clinical way Fear of flowers, learning and playing For the ones that are meant to be slaves Factoried, standardized Humans conditioned Play the part that they're ascribed No free decision No More doubt, no more quest Nothing but answers Whispered twenty million times Til all believe them Chorus We are clay in the hands Of those who make us In a vision not our own Blindfolded robots God is dead, man is god Above his fellow Nothing here's an accident But you will not know Chorus

Nowherebound and without a care Livin' our lives in a way of "no fear" Floatin' around in a storm that blows us away from today Step on it, baby don't let go Follow the stupid, enlighten your soul See the light, like an everlasting flame, burning bright Every day the same, madness is the game It's time for us to hit the road Money more or less, sometimes it's a mess But on and on confusion grows Chorus: Time keeps spinning in the afternoon Our minds are up on the moon In a state of permanent confusion Life is just an illusion Nowherebound and without a care Livin' our lives in a way of "no fear" Floatin' around in a storm that blows us away from today Step on it, baby don't let go Follow the stupid, enlighten your soul See the light, like an everlasting flame, burning bright Every day the same, loosing our brain Reality's out of control Women more or less, sometimes it's a mess But on and on confusion grows Chorus

You have a vision of bloodshed, my friend Just go ahead At the end of the night No one's gonna ask you why Eagerly spreading fear with your hands Fever in the head What a gruesome delight Watching all the people die Come on, come on Choose a bomb, there ain't no No time to lose It's your private freak show "Take my hand, I'll show you the way To the land of hatred and insanity Better pray, "Cruel" is the name they gave me" Chorus: Sit tight, see it in his face This game ain't got no rules Out of the darkest place This is the story of Mr.Cruel Sit tight, see it in his face This game ain't got no rules Out of the darkest place This is the story of Mr.Cruel Burning down schools, blowing up airplanes In the name of war You're a natural born Loser on a hellish run Thousand miles away, justice in the back Mass murderer Politicians don't cry Money always saves the day Come on, come on Choose a bomb, there ain't no No time to lose It's your private freak show "Take my hand... Chorus You have a vision of bloodshed, my friend Just go ahead At the end of the night No one's gonna ask you why "Take my hand...

Picture this: light in the sky I'm standing on a hill Not a star, strange kind of glow Coming down not a mile away Has it happened? Can it be real? No reason to fear Keep it secret, nobody knows It's our U.F.O. I see lights, down by the woods Debris and molten steel Uniforms barking commands Tried to run, but they saw me first Chorus: Turn away, turn away Nothing but fear and hate Is waiting here for you Turn away, turn away This is no place to stay Dissection is your fate Turn away, turn away Nothing but fear and hate Is waiting here for you I was seized, locked in a truck And in there, bless my soul Saw two guys, wounded, it seemed Visitors from another world Has it happened... Took us to underground labs In chains like prisoners They looked with questioning eyes Did they know we were facing death Chorus Just like rats they tested them Subjected them to pain Wanted their technology Didn't care for their desperate pleas They were murdered, just like the rest: "Security risk" I will follow, I only hope This story will blow

Fire in his head world was turning all red This wall of emotion crashing down to him Soul crushed and drowning Deeper than a wound, louder than his own scream Foreign thoughts rushing in upon his open mind No way to stop them The gift of feeling what others feel The curse that haunts his family All pain and pleasure unceasingly Sucked into his identity (Head of fire -- Poshor golovar) (Head of fire -- Poshor golovar) Feelings not of me are eating me Prisoner of my sensitivity (Head of fire -- Poshor golovar) I can never be alone with me Alcohol, it's my lone relief Chorus: I will be all of you, I will drink your souls I'll be your goodness and your honesty I'll be your happiness and your excessiveness I'll be your sadness and your darkest fear I will be all of you, I will drink your souls I'll be your evil and insanity Your insanity Your insanity Hated by the kids, tasting their rejection Confused by the power raging in his mind No help from outside Then a bigger shock when he felt the psych-ward Madness overwhelming any sanity Close to the breakdown The gift of feeling what others feel The curse that haunts his family All pain and pleasure unceasingly Sucked into his identity (Head of fire... Chorus Found a higher love, couldn't get enough of inside melting into one another now Deepest fulfillment Always needing more, he was like a vampire Restless, feeding on the feelings coming on Lost in the other The gift of feeling what others feel The curse that haunts his family All pain and pleasure unceasingly Sucked into his identity (Head on fire... (Head on fire -- Poshor golovar) Feelings not of me are eating me Prisoner of my sensitivity Chorus

Out in the west, where the coyotes rest Lives Ed on a dusty little ranch 400 miles from anything that smiles Just snakes, tumbleweed, and countro tapes Barrels in an old mine, waiting for the right time Seepage into waterways and wells "Cactus got a red head and my chicken all dead, I got green spots itchin' me like hell" Chorus: High life in the desert wasteland There's a big mess in the west Dioxin or heavy metal It's a big mess in the west Dump now you'll be payin' later For the big mess in the west "FUCK Inc., preaches ecology" Boss smiles, holding up recycled cup But in the night, when evil's out of site His waste goes on west and disappears Meanwhile in the distance, Ed is kinda' pissed and All his cows are growing funny horns Ed is losing his hair, and he's full of despair "Christ Almighty, everything is wrong!" Chorus Out in the west, where the coyotes rest Lived Ed on a dusty little ranch 400 miles from anything that smiles Just snakes, tumbleweed, and country tapes Ed was taken east and noone ever missed him Had no kids, no relatives, no wife Then he was dissected, data were corrected But they won't be published on hour life Chorus

Today it is quiet and peaceful Year 2045, life in the domes is easy Hermetically sealed, keeping mankind alive The outer regions are poisoned The radiation's high Ashes and dust are falling Deadly heat, the planet is dry Chorus: Hellish days, toxic and infectious times Atomic twilight outside Nuclear gods, you brought us here Dragging our would into fear Hellish days, atomic twilight outside It started just by testing Some new technologies Providing peace and balance Back in those years it did sound good to me Now with the memories fading I can't remember too well But jealousy in our hearts Wiped out reason, security failed Chorus I went out again this evening To watch the violet night But my blind eyes don't see anything Time is up, I feel the cancer inside

Christmas time is here again Time to give your cash to them At the cross is where we'll meet Leaving presents at his feet Buy your gifts in harmony Feed the Christian industry Chorus: Fuck Christmas! All the time Now I've got my yuletide pride! Fuck Christmas! All the time I've got Jesus on my side! Fuck Christmas! Fuck Christmas! Fuck Christmas! All the time! Jesus came and Jesus went Look at all the cash we spent Mother Mary you will see Never bought a Christmas tree Christmas is for me and me I give only to receive Chorus Christmas time is here again ... Chorus He was fuckin' born in August anyway ...

Deep in the gut, deep inside of me There it is, everywhere Look at me go, watch it grow Into my place Couldn't find myself in the mirror today Who's that fading face? Oh, no! Waiting for the one that'll blow me away Rollercoaster rides, oh, no! Chorus Tell me what you see when you look at me Is it more than my HIV? Tell me what you see when you look at me Is it more? Dying weaves quilts of sympathy Cover me, cover me! Feeble and blind, weak and dazed Lover hold me tight Couldn't see a thing in the mirror today Tell me that's your name? Oh yeah! Waiting for the one that'll blow me away Full blown all the way, oh no! Chorus Blood and tears shed for years and years Will it end, will it end? This is a war, hope, despair Battle every day Can you see yourself in the mirror today? Tell me, what's your name? Oh yeah! I can see my face and I know this is me I'm not giving up myself Chorus

Even Then I try to look the problem in the eyes There's no hope for me in sight Stagnant though I am there's a spark which keeps me moving on Yet - there's no hope for me in sight It's alright - 'cos I know I will win this fight Me decline this is what I've come to Wasted time Living day by day My decline Lost my zeal and inner strength Wasted time Now it's time to pay Never set my goals and my gears are all stuck in reverse There's no hope for me in sight Life has passed me by and the dreams seem unattainable There's no hope for me in sight It's alright - 'cos I know I will win this fight My decline ... Even Then I try to look the problem in the eyes There's no hope for me in sight There's no hope for me in sight There's no hope for me in sight My decline ... There's no hope for me in sight There's no hope for me in sight
