Undying
Album • 2000
echoes of mesopotamia a whispered disease that left us on knees too weak to stand upon this empire nature's purity revealed wave the sword of science, keep the truth concealed we are the ten thousand year reich - with us let it end to the sands of time that lent destruction a hand let harmful ways amend for the path has been chosen, the damage is done but our culture continues its course sip poisoned wine from the chalice of one culture's way down the highways of progress we've paved crosses stand erect where death won the day and we prayed our mortal souls to save when one does not see what one does not see one does not even see one is blind do we choose to close our eyes or is it the veil is so stained by the treasons of our humanity that we're helpless of knowing new ways? a tender hush lulls us to sleep our hope lies s hattered like broken glass march upon hollow dreams take me back to an unseen past, and cleanse our minds wrecked by time listen, can you hear them? it's such comfort knowing they are there looking over our every move, and guiding us in the right direction without them what would we be but lost souls trapped in an untamed jungle? what would we be but a species undeserving of our proper place? without this civilization our way of thinking, our way of life, what would we be? what kind of lives would we be living? what would we do and where would our paths take us without the whispered lies of angels... death to the wisdom of the ancients five hundred generations - now it seems we are forever lost like priests cloaked in dominion's robes cut up, control, shape this world in a better way you've staked your claim so dance in the flames... ...while we fight to write our names. on the walls of this world goi ng down what are we fighting for? whose world are you fighting for? if ours is the voice that knows only silence then to whom should we turn for recourse?

you told me the sun would always rise and if it shouldn't shine have faith 'cause one day that great burning star's light one once again dance across my face I heard the roar of the parting seas and the mourning of a blackened sun I saw the last flower wither away when our flesh turned to stone I felt the frigid blood in my veins grow still like winter's paralyzed streams as the soil beneath our feet gave way to iron and asphalt dreams when nighttime stars flicker with grief and despair and dusk threatens senses too dazed to stay clear their heavens will beckon, and angels will whisper my name wings of scarlet hue, their truth soaked in blood on wounded knees I've crawled through the nameless streets of this world I love my heart is heavy with burden I'm feeling empty inside so fill me up and give me a taste of life give me a place to hide, mother offer me your caress and let it last forever let me cry in your arms let me die in your embrace my hands have held your paradise your heavens blazed from upon the highest hills, my lonely and wanting eyes did gaze for I was in love with life and this world but they tried to take that from me if this is the reward of the harvest then I gladly give you my share

I try to imagine a time when things weren't this way but years have come and gone with the seasons and for better or worse this is how it is is this the price we must pay? oh how we revere our mountains of concrete and steel across every nation a decaying metropolis burns our way of life bought and stolen with blood sweat and tears and the machine keeps pressing on our assault on the earth has taken its toll now devastation lies behind our sorrow the undying screams of tortured souls shall forever possess tomorrow within this darkened globe of mounting terror on the eve of destruction where despair is life the reigns of ignorance plummet us towards calamity unseen is the coming strife as this world disappears we stand on the outside looking in we've tried so hard to move the moon and touch the stars and now we swim in tainted oceans of a better day across fields of yesterday the specters of the past loom ahead - taunting voices long devoid of breath they watch us follow in their stead take a hopeless glance into the future do we stand a chance? I awake from a dream to be hurled into this nightmare and I long to return to sleep cause everyday I rise to a crimson sky she sheds her gentle tears on me but each drop cuts like a knife and the bruises and scars will never subside each passing day our brutality grows stronger each passing day means the pain's lasted longer and I can feel the pain and I can feel her pain what will become of this world - devastation tomorrow? hold on for one more day

where the footsteps of one culture tread the righteous still sing as we march to the tune of "humanity's" hymn a restless night awaits the dawn of a silent spring our mythos and this way of life have led us astray - disconnected we've stepped outside the circle and into the reign for they so loathe the world children search for heavenly bliss and abandon this sacred earth damnation - the chance I am willing to take for life everlasting I return to the womb day by day - from birth page by page - the script we enact to an unsound story of conquest and glory by a culture about to collapse blood flows from the fountains of bondage and brutality (this captive earth to flood) as one whom the mother caresseth so will I comfort you through every waking moment the pleading whispers of mother culture are spoken softly in my ears begging me to turn my back instead I shun her lies with the truth of a newfound worldview I'm deaf to salvati on's cry for they so loathe the world children search for heavenly bliss and abandon this sacred earth damnation - the chance I am willing to take for life everlasting I return to the womb my blood for her blood, my breath for her breath back into her arms, to the place we belong mother culture reborn and I again to the earth to break the chains, to give freedom a name and put the life back in living

lost- he's surely lost now when he tries to strip himself of a past that keeps holding on so many times before I've tried to let go to peel off deception's mask but hid my fears behind walls of sorrow and like a cold, bitter chill one cannot shake disillusionment sits by my side (so in her I must confide) she tells me dark secrets and grim tales of regrets she tells me: love is not lost, it dies like all thi ngs do buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries alone - no one to share her days with she chokes on the stale dry air of memories she chokes on the words she says to no one at night and whispers her questions to the walls and drifts to sleep no one there to share her dreams and oh how it hurts to see tears fall from her eyes into the desert some are sent to starve weary and weak they make their way home and though our tired hearts will bear the scars let us find who we are buried in the night's shadows I await the dawn of a new day hold my hand, come with me to the skies let us shout battle hymns lust and love waging war to the very end let us stomp on heavens below let us not be afraid (for life wears a new face) love is not lost, it dies like all things do buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries and waits for broken wings to heal...to fly again someday

as we bleed you feast on what is left of waking nightmares, prayers best left unsaid sinking inside of the beasts we shall be feeling desires buried, dreams best left to sleep suffer the absence of beauty to know years beaten down, passions unknown the bitterest ashes are the souls unwept tears walls of your heaven and pit of your fears the heavens will fall and stars rain down on the backs of the broken upon those whose beauty is spit upon whose desire you shit upon if this is what your life will take from me if this is what your world will make of me these words which we cannot speak for the fallen are lost through the absence of dreams in skies that are ever bright we cast wishes into the darkness for the stench of your heaven clings to me and the stars weep for my shame this long, dark age has given us but faded memory -and all the words we will not write -and all the dreams that die tonight -and all the love in hearts grown cold -and all the beauty never known as heavens winds are rancid sweet as angels breath of carrion reek suffer the children as they will dream as empty souls breed worthless ends as bitter hands stroke passions spent hearts burned to black with the fires of prayers for the end and the stars weep for my shame this long, dark age has given us the faded memory of passions spent - give me breath to face another day if this is what your life will take from me if this is what your world will make of me if this is what the world has made of me then let it live with the consequences

You can't expect to see him and survive You'll swallow his tongue of thorns His mouth, dripping with flies In his glorious kingdom of fire But I believe he wept I will make them all lie down Down where hope lies dying With lust, you're kicking mankind to death We live and die without hope You tramp us down in a river of death As I stand here now, my heart is black I don't want to die a lonely man This is a weary hour This is a weary hour
