Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out Behind the illusion of reality Are forces that speak to me We will draw them out We will cast them out Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out Drink wines that foam Watch the ugliness rise Watch it bubble to the surface Let it out, let it rise Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out All the hate, all the hate I saw you You just wanted to take a razor and cut his face until it bled You wanted to inflict I saw the barbed hooks penetrate deep into the side of his flesh Get it out Get it out, get it out, get it out Let it rise Let it rise, let it bubble to the surface Get it out All desires that are undeclared All resentments, their mockeries will show Bulging eyes, the animal soul begins to rise Let it out Get it out Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out Let it rise - let the images rise Let it rise - let it bubble to the surface Get it out - get it out - get it out now Let it rise to the surface - let it rise - let it rise - guilt Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out All your guilt and the pain and the hurt you cause All the tears in the child's face All resentment undeclared Let it rise Let it rise, let it bubble to the surface Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out Rise from my unconscious, let it rise Get it out, get it out, get it out Clean it up - clean it up Cover yourself with water Wash it away, that's right, wash it away Wash it all away, wash away the tears

I was born to see two thousand years Of man's effect upon the planet Extinction seems to be a plausible risk Whatever happens well I'm part of all this My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you Fire burn all our uncertainties Water wash away impurities Contradictions and predictions abound Yes i believe that we can turn it around My life I've been waiting for this moment My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come

I see patterns in the wind and in the sand I see the stars, I read the clouds, I understand Then the madness overwhelmed, I lost control It was cut out for each stain upon my soul All who died And everything's alive Communion I saw a man, I knew his face, he called my name And the house I'd never seen still looked the same Then I found all my possessions by the fire Physical world fell into place, I had all I desired All who died And everything's alive All who died And everything's alive Communion The mind begins to doubt what the heart already knows Reason gives into rhyme, mind begins to blow Reoccurring people, numbers, faces And I abandon all my need for explanation All who died And everything's alive All who died And everything's alive Communion All who died And everything's alive All who died And everything's alive All who died And everything's alive All who died And everything's alive Communion

Here in this vortex my true self begins to show Where phantoms pass me by, what secrets do they hold? Flesh torn upon the wheels of human frailty Part of me was fascinated by the cruelty Running from the madness, running from this mirror of how I feel A dream is just a shadow of something that I found real Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me In the temples I am kneeling fearing god In the cinemas they are baying for some blood Horror began to dawn as fear played its part The fear that cancels out the love that's in our heart All the hurt we felt repeated down the line The pain inflicted was the pain that we designed I try escaping from the person that I am Here is the endless cycle, break it if you can Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me Black moon, bad dreams - another side of me Black moon, bad sleep - another side of me...

Running through this maze - cry at what I see A civilization with values alien to me All the role models, lost souls, false gods that I am shown Ordeals that I pass through for purposes unknown In the cul-de-sac turn back on my trade from the cul-de-sac Help, try getting me out In a transient phase At the end of an age Running through this maze Some born again idiot tracks me down and I couldn't escape Trying to notch up points for his entrance fee to New Jerusalem (I said) "Do you love the lord, your god, with all your dogma?" He said: "You'll get it all back in the next life" Get it all back, get it all back Help, try getting me out In a transient phase At the end of an age Running through this maze Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Help, try getting me out In a transient phase At the end of an age Running through this maze Mystery schools for the fools, great seats of learning Business, lawsuits, market forces - no philosophy courses A bachelor's degree in loopholes and a master's in self-interest Studies for automatons and syllabus two A city and guilds in extortion and a PhD in fuck you Help, try getting me out In a transient phase At the end of an age Running through this maze Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back Get it all back, get it all back, get it all back

She hears his footsteps, he walks up the path And when the letter drops her heart beats fast She picks up the envelope then she turns her face away She'll check out her results another day Refusing to accept what they might say Jana's cry "I've got so much to give" Jana's sigh "I've got so much to live" Jana's mind - positive or negative Jana died I watch her shiver by the fireside From time to time she just breaks down and cries Her cat curled in her lap and she's secure in a place that she calls home Flicking through postcards and brochures of Rome Dreaming of places that she'd like to go Jana tried "I've got so much to give" Jana's sigh "I've got so much to live" Jana's mind - positive or negative Jana died Her friends bring her soup each day And she takes an array of bright coloured pills From AZT to Vitamin C but still she wastes away Forcing down food but still she wastes away Jana cry "I've got so much to give" Jana's sigh "I've got so much to live" Jana cry - Jana tested positive Jana died Jana cry "I've got so much to give" Jana's sigh "I've got so much to live" Jana cry - Jana tested positive Jana died

I feel this wave that is carrying me And I'm unable to stop I stand outside of my body But it continues to walk Love me and touch me Your body, my feast Torn between two sides of my nature Half god and half beast This hunger in my flesh, my instinct says it knows what's best And when the animal takes hold, feel forces outside my control And then my mind starts to work out What's going on While the knot in my stomach Is telling me something's wrong Yes, it's all the pain that I'm feeling And the guilt that I hide Yes, it's all the hurt that I caused you And all the tears that I've cried This hunger in my flesh, my instinct says it knows what's best This craving comes and all I want is more - just a little bit more Just a little bit more Just a little bit Just a little bit To be shameless is blameless if we be what we are If freedom is what I suspect Then tomorrow will jar against your conditioning This hunger in my flesh, my instinct says it knows what's best This craving comes and all I want is more - just a little bit more Just a little bit more Just a little bit Just a little bit This hunger in my flesh, my instinct says it knows what's best But when the animal takes hold, feel forces outside my control

Turbulence is certainty, turbulence is friction between you and me Suffering and pain crystallized in a brain that recreates the process again Draws borders, cites laws, monopolies of food and trade start wars Every time we try to impose order we create chaos, we create chaos Breakdown, breakdown Breakdown, breakdown Breakdown I have doubts A state of eternal conflict is all I have found We build a wall that is made of tears Watch the house fall down And at the end of my life Yes, at the end of my life All shall be well All is as it was always meant to be... Blessed are the meek, it is written they shall inherit the earth Watch her dying of cancer after a lifetime of caring for the poor Child with her arms blown off screams as she bleeds upon the rocks Sickened by my self-flagellation but I don't know how to stop Where is your love, my loving god? Breakdown I have my doubts This base stand of filth and the people around We build a wall that is made of tears Watch the house fall down And at the end of my life Yes, at the end of my life All shall be well All is as it was always meant to be... Globalism and the UN neutralized by ethnic cleansing Animal aggression and a mind to perceive this terminal conflict Awareness is a curse - the more you open your eyes, the more you despise Fashioned in the creator's yolk It must be some sort of practical joke And in the corn, circles of chaos Breakdown I have my doubts A state of eternal conflict is all I have found We build a wall that is made of tears Watch the house fall down And at the end of my life Yes, at the end of my life All shall be well All is as it was always meant to be... One, two, three, four Eight, seven, five Zero, two, zero Zero, seven, nine One, two, three, four Eight, seven, five Zero, two, zero Zero, seven, nine
