I've spread my wings I've cut the strings My puppet days have died I've prayed until I have free will I've shut out all the lies I can't make sense of fate's portents On patterns I've relied I've given in my demon twin Lies dying by my side The future is a mystery now The stars have turned to gray My freedom rests on knowing how To think and do and say Sun-sign believers enlightenment achievers You strange deceivers you are not my kind Sun-sign believers speaking tongue receivers Tarot card faith healers the blind leading the blind "Do what thou wilt", the blood was spilt An ego thus caressed Accepting none but only one Is where my freedom rests Presenting now the sacred cow "You cannot trust free will" They stand in line of their birth signs Their emptiness is shrill Their clockwise universe is ticking out their lives An orgy of pre-destiny held by threads of time Sun-sign believers, enlightenment achievers You strange deceivers you are not my kind Sun-sign believers speaking tongue receivers Tarot card faith healers the blind leading the blind We must invent again ourselves Become the sum total of our perceptions Do not react as you did yesterday Don't you become a slave to your memories Sun-sign believers enlightenment achievers You strange deceivers you are not my kind Sun-sign believers speaking tongue receivers Tarot card faith healers the blind leading the blind

I have lost the unobtainable I am faithless and afraid My emotions are unstable Control is hanging by a thread And the misery of the world Is weighing heavy on my shoulders My belief has not unfurled And I'm not getting any older No I'm not getting any older And the world is turning colder There's a gathering storm eating up the night There's a tension of souls can you feel it bite? It is because we're not living on our own terms Swept on a wave branded with society's burns We're not happy with this unnatural law We've moved into check into a corner of flames Half of us staled in a late mating game We're just trying just crying for... The right to give The right to fail The right to fall The right to live The right to have feelings The right to see The right to be The right to need The right to feed The right to give meanings The right to love The right to care The right to share The right to sow The right to show the right signals The right to fight The right to spite The right to do The right to lose The right to find the right answers I am nailed to the cross of my own pernicious anguish Bribed by irresistible strangled by the air Blind and still equivocal dispossessed by heir I have no faith I have no unbelief There is no neutral ground there is no relief I didn't get what I expected to receive Don't let them tell you what they want you to believe And I'm searching for some space in my life While people all around me multiplying just like flies The whispering millions their hunger it is loud A silent frustration breeds in every crowd I have no faith I have no unbelief There is no neutral ground there is no relief I didn't get what I expected to receive Don't let them tell you what they want you to believe And I'm drowning in a sea of my own futility I have no faith I have no unbelief There is no neutral ground there is no relief I didn't get what I expected to receive Don't let them tell you what they want you to believe Look at me drowning in a sea

I'm lost in the half world where the heart and mind collide On the shores of my dispassion with all feelings locked inside Who made the promise that the key of life is here Who drew the symbols for the mind that will appear And I continue down the road I will not tread And I will fear no evil from the words I have not said Who made the promise that the way of life is clear Who drew the symbols for the man that will appear Colder than starlight older than the sun Straight lines converging collapsing into one vast soul A voice that has not spoken for 2000 years A jealous benefactor and a yardstick full of fears Motivate your mystery I'm young enough to try Quantify your influence I'm old enough to die Signify your energy I'm tired of asking why Resolve your dichotomy I am both truth and lies A merciful forgiveness a judgment absolute A sacred separation or a prophecy of doom No recollection (I don't recall) of what has gone before No precognition (no sign at all) of what I have in store Motivate your mystery I'm young enough to try Quantify your influence I'm old enough to die Signify your energy I'm tired of asking why Resolve your dichotomy I am both truth and lies Too late your nemesis Is coming for you Awakened from your sleep By what you must do The mocking eyes of he Who would devour your soul Staring through your thoughts And he is laughing at your goal This way is easy it is logical and cruel You can be powerful and make up your own rules Don't you see? It don't matter what you believe Your whole existence is the reason for my fun Your weak resistance is an indulgence I've become I was there at the beginning and I will be there at the end I'm your secret enemy and your fair weather friend Help yourself to all my gifts and my seductive charms Sign your name in blood and give me all your love With me or against me I still have no need of faith Ignorance is no excuse not one of you is safe I control the selfishness that keeps you all in line You're running out of time I control your minds Don't you see? It don't matter what you believe Motivate your mystery I'm young enough to try Quantify your influence I'm old enough to die Signify your energy I'm tired of asking why Resolve your dichotomy I am both truth and lies Too late your nemesis Is coming for you Awakened from your sleep By what you must do

I thought you weren't contagious I thought I owned my inner-self You offer now I forget the reason I can't have As you try hard to please me This need turns to greed down inside I touch the hand of my sickness And feel my faith divide If I said I would - would you care? Would you take me there? And feed my desire with your will to give A distant storm and the lightning strikes The pouring rain feels warm tonight Thunder echoes and the lesson begins As one more time you take me in But I look back at you and think of all the things I should have said and done But I can't talk no I can't talk I try to hide myself from shame And try to share the blame for what I've done What have I done? Now I said I would - do you care? As you take me there I taste my first time and now I can't turn away I lie to myself like a man trying to understand As you change my life with your will to give I see disgrace and it's looking back at me Blame my desire for lies I live and breathe Begin again though the hardest part to take Behind my eyes you still remain I thought you'd understand when you took me there The hardest part to take you still remain You still remain

What do you gain from all that you've done Everything comes to an end Ages will go and ages will come And who will remember you then All that has been it will be again What has been done will be done Clouds will return at the end of the rain And nothing is new nothing under the sun What if I build you a house or a park What if I bought you a slave Silver and gold and the treasure of kings With satin to line your grave As sure as the dust will return to the ground Your knowledge will soon be gone As sure as a man should enjoy what he does Nothing is new nothing under the sun So everything is meaningless and so we carry on Until we face the consequence Of everything we've done

Gather round you sinners who don't believe in peace You can all be winners if you let your soul fly free Don't be afraid the threat's not for real Be very afraid you've made your last deal Business men and money spinners Rape the earth for gain They don't like my ideas they label me insane Don't be afraid the threat's not for real Be very afraid you've made your last deal Two thousand years of looking for utopia Two thousand years of Babylon rising Don't be afraid the threat's not for real Be very afraid you've made your last deal Be very afraid you've made your last deal
He is I am He is I am Do you feel that your life is in a rut That the modern world is all too much Do you want to remove the pain Do you want to begin again And if you need it we can re-arrange your life Take away the misery, the trouble and the strife Coming from the darkness he is standing at the door We can feed your inner needs get you back to where you are He is I am we are Too late you've come this far He is I am we be Give us your individuality And if you need it we will cultivate your mind Saturate your character with doctrines so divine A generous contribution will secure your earthly bed Grow with us in commune You'll have nothing in your head He is I am we are Too late you've come this far He is I am we be You've lost your individuality Don't want to I can't feel you Just leave me be don't need you And I wandered far away Couldn't hear their thoughts no more I was swept on a tidal wave And was cast to a distant shore It was the desert of my own desires I was burnt in the searing heat My hedonism stoking up The fires of my own spiritual defeat And if you look in the mirror boy Don't be ashamed of what you see I went looking for him all alone But all I found was a piece of me He is I am

Picture time as before where you slept through it all They believe you were there why deny what I said? Vicious lies being heard you stand there how absurd And with hate in your mind convict me Take my life away or give back the answer you hold And stand unashamed of what you have done Don't just walk away Unlock the chains from your heart Prove my innocence 'cause I did no wrong Empty words lies from the start? We stood strong never apart Had it all in our hands we had it all yes you and me Now the tables have turned all I gave you return Makes it hard to believe what you've done to me Don't call me your friend Won't you understand I don't need I don't need Take my life away or give back the answer you hold And stand unashamed of what you have done Don't just walk away Unlock the chains from your heart Prove my innocence 'cause I did no wrong Take my life away or give back the answer you hold And stand unashamed of what you have done Don't just walk away Unlock the chains from your heart Prove my innocence 'cause I did no wrong

We fear this void Like some dark temptation calling you under Pulling us off course Just as we are beginning to get closer Closer to the light closer to the light And it gets harder to concentrate And it gets harder to concentrate And it gets harder to concentrate And we must keep our faces Pointing straight into the light And upwards into his domain We can have help as we are getting closer Closer to the light closer to the light And it gets harder to compensate And it gets harder to compensate And it gets harder to compensate I can see you you're not there Fog of existence fills the air I can't matter now I've found Art of freedom safe and sound When I feel that hope is lost Only the devoted know the cost
