Concrete Eden

Step right up, look inside Max your credit and enjoy the ride Sap the young, dupe the old Countless homeless left in the cold Formulating machinations Subjugating humanity What will our tomorrow hold If we can't even save today You change this world through technology Construct this land, the concrete eden Who'll save this world with morality Or damn us all to concrete eden Computers act while minds sit still Consumed with movies and who screwed who Science heals, but it killed our faith Or was it those evangelists Replicating DNA Vacillating a pious man What will our tomorrow hold If we can't even save today

Jackin' in and letting go It's reality in control Corporate man on the totem pole Live the net is status quo VR love and lines of blow Climb their backs and up you'll go Always forward not behind Are these dreams in my mind? Struggling with the nightmares Of this cyber psychic dream I am a man that's lost In the machine ~ Neon lights and mirrored walls Corporate killers line the halls Who's your fiend, who's your foe Name your price to sell your soul Watch your front and watch your back Be the boss's favorite hack Make your deals with a pretty face Lose yourself in cyberspace

Lady Madonna turn your eyes from me Wipe away the tears from your face Tears no man shall ever see Hail Mary full of grace Tainted by the blood we spill Ours is not the master race In deciding who to kill Mother Mary please forgive me A soldier's eyes are not his own Blind to what they see Mother Mary please forgive me l'm just a pawn in a madman's game No escape for me From place to place And cities they go To cleanse them of humanity Executions and cyanide Disregard their dignity His soldiers think they have the power He thinks he holds the key Killing people from the promise land A trial weighs your destiny Take away the pain from my eyes I can't look upon the shame any more Take away the pain from my eyes His reichs not worth fighting for As I look deep within your eyes I see my own face of sin Now I know within my end A new age will begin Mother Mary please forgive me Take away the pain from my eyes So I can no longer see

Reminiscing on my life Opportunities I let pass by Everyday that comes to pass I'm forced to contemplate my last Times of sorrow and of joy A joumey on life's road Wasting my time, pretend to be Someone, not me Living my life, trying to please Someone, not me Hiding behind, a masquerade Someone, not me It's not who I am, apparently Someone, not me Acting for the public eye Conceal my sadness with a smile Performing for the world to see Illusions cloud reality All the choices, good and bad Define the person that I am Somehow, someday I'll find out who I am I'll find the strength to face each day Eventually I'll find my way

All that's happened in my life Has led me to this hour I've made my choice to stand Before you to challenge history It's time to seize our destiny Events have gone as planned Tonight will always be remembered The eve of Liberty Acts of degradation Frozen one by one I won't forget you again I'm not afraid of you this time I've struggled all my life to overcome The pain of all my childhood years Pray for me my fiends I cannot bear to lose Join me in victory Our strength will come From the hearts of the masses The day will be our's my fiends We'll take this world for our humanity And dignity will be ours We'll break these chains That bind us to our enemies We'll take this world I remember long ago When I held her in my arms How I fought the tide of life that night How I yearned to be set free On the beach that stormy night I tried to say the words To tell her of my love for her Instead I said goodbye But it was so long ago All my life to serve the calling that I hear Though I buried all my deepest regrets I remember you now

As you see the people congregated This truly is my finest hour Church bells ring in every city, every town Herald the arrival of a new world order I am the one who saved your world I'm the one who gave you strength This land will rise again And take her place in history As you see the masses placated I have lived up to my every word Domination of the people under God Cities crumble in my wake of power I am the one who saved Your world from greed and hate Believe in me you'll see I'll change this world

In the streets of this once great city Conquered again as it once was before Toppled not by bombs nor armies Impossible promises, impossible dreams A vision appeared in the dark of the night A calling to take this great mans life My heart was struck by fear Where do my actions lead He held the world in his hand And what will come to be What will come to be I read the news of this once great man Who took this world with hardly a fight An illusion of powers reality Just as easy can be taken away Destiny has brought me to this end A life is ended by my hand And when the truth is finally known I pray the world will understand I pray the world will Pray the world will understand What will this world be And what will this world be

I've lived my life believing that our souls would never die We'll all end up someplace one day as our bodies stay and die As my judgment stands awaiting the light pulls me near My hate is revealed and my soul wants to die But a vision appears to me out of the sky And a hope of salvation is framed in my mind My death will have meaning, my soul will not die For the truth of my life becomes clear in my eyes My hate destroyed evil, for that I am loved I've killed all their leaders, their laws, and their ways Their minds are all free now to choose as they will For the first time in history the world will be free Two men shall arise to rule after me And the people must choose with their hearts and their minds One will deceive, the other is true One will destroy us, the other will save Angel undying, folds her wings sighing Softly she cries in the increasing winds As the dark clouds gather over scared human masses Raining down sorrow on those who believe But for those who stand strong in the face of the night You will find your reward in the paradise light As my body lay dying, I take my last breath My calling has ended and now I can rest

Open my eyes see the fires in the distance Open my ears hear the cries in the night Madness has found this city at last The day of judgement has fmally arrived Raise your heads to the light And we have not seen the last sunrise Read the words one more time That no one shall know the final hour Prophets theorize When the word will end They created the end In their own heads Twisting lines of holy words Into words of holy war Faith has turned into escape A self fulfilling prophecy

What's this world fighting for Ideals or something more Free speech was jeopardized Now that we're urbanized Oh, no, I won't show complacency Speak out, it's about equality Mandates integrate sex, color, creed Black, white, embrace what's right Sometimes hatred isn't the issue Affirmative action Obsolete practice Criminal tactics Help out no one Zealots tout their civil rights Spreading their spite Hollywood formulates Tensions escalate Hope for a brighter day Illuminate the gray I realize not all mankind Choose to be "color blind" That's the way it should be In society Legal litigations Racist allegations Defense of prejudice Shouldn't prove innocence Better ways of yesterday regretfully are gone Politically correct is now en vogue to be Finding out that turnabout isn't fair play You're free to choose a point of view But that's the issue

I see this holy war and I can't believe How long must this endure before they will see A mindless game of death In the end everyone bleeds There are no winners No chance for peace No truce will be called No common beliefs Different religion Different opinion No hope The end of days is near Filled with pain and fear The end of days I can tell I see this image of hell Disagreement in the promise land Politicians doing what they can To end the violence, save the day Will we ever understand the hate Two cultures cannot coexist With the differences they feel Deep seated hatred coming to a head All they want to see is war Can you see the desert sands Blowing through the arid land Once peaceful, no cross to bear Followed faith to get them there Looking for the promise land Running from foreign hands Traveled far to find a sign Caught between the sands of time Future brings opposing views Fighting for the right to choose Trail of tears they left behind Caught between the sands of time Will there ever, ever come a day Will we ever see a brighter way To live in peace, live a better way No more killing give us peace that will stay The seven seals are broken The time is now at hand The faithful have now gathered To cleanse the holy land A mindless game of death No one can ever win Suffer the consequence For all your selfish needs
