Zero Hour
Album • 2022
We've lived this life together in an endless paradise but something wicked this way comes They came in shrieking revolutionary cries with malice and murder in their eyes A fervent fever to control the just To pound freedom into dust Damn you, damn you all. Damn you, you planned the fall Damn you, damn you all. Damn you, damn you In the West the empires fall In the East the nations crawl North and South will seek survival the moment you came to life No you were dead on arrival New ways with dangerous means Smoke the pipe and live the dream In the West the empires fall In the East the nations crawl North and South will seek survival the moment you came to life No you were dead on arrival Masters without a nation or given a name Will make you sick and afflict the lame Bow down to all of our extravagant claims Prophets of guilt and priests of shame We are invincible the all-seeing eye everyone will know and keep their place We are invisible we watch while you sleep we can read every line on your face Damn you, damn you all. Damn you, heed our call Damn you, damn you all. Damn you damn you And now the ship is sinking No captains crews or sails the hull is cracked and leaking sailors seeking shore What we were now has been What we are will always be Time is gone without sin curse the day the evil came in And now the minds are thinking the men of truth are adrift washed ashore their bodies consumed by nothingness One by one and two by two They follow One by one and two by two They swallow One by one and two by two They're hollow One by one and two by two They choke One by one and two by two Over you Two by two and three by three They grew Four by four and five by five They live Six by six by six You die And now the hearts are beating a rhythm that is out of time as the beat pounds relentless these victims of the crime And a voice from above said Is it in heaven your souls you seek or the eternal mystery Or is it heaven in your souls you keep I will provide I will provide I will keep you alive Damn you, damn you to Hell Damn you, you laughed as we all fell Has the storm finally broken Have the floods all gone dry Did the winds finally subside has the darkness left the sky Have the clouds dearly departed Has a light filled the land A submission or illusion or maybe a sleight of hand Damn you piercing eyes Damn you democide With blood and tears and sweat and pride Comes a new golden dawn a new sunrise We all see the view true North still is true the fight remains in each of you the simple way is always through The acceptance of pain Accept the pain This gift of reason is yours to gain In the West the empires thrive In the East the nations wide North and South they have survived the moment you come into this world you are alive

The digital drug is the lobotomy The digital drug The digital drug is the lobotomy The digital drug Said I see the people strange and sense they aren't really knowing and I watch the people stare into the plasma glowing Awake in their sleep where the abyss is wide The illusion machines will be their guide Who would have believed enslavement was achieved by having people tune in and tune out Well I see them killing time and I feel the tensions surging and I hear their screaming out as man and machine are merging Connected for a moment they tune out for the day Disconnect from existence in a Hell they made They tune out for a moment They tune out for the day Disconnect from existence from the Hell they made The digital drug is now part of me The digital drug The digital drug is now part of me The digital drug I feel the winds of change I feel the cold wind blowing I can hear it change with clarity and a clear view As for me so goes you Some are on fire but very few and as for we we know what we must do

I am the priest so I will testify what is here before us is not a lie this man that bleeds from his hands and eyes a messiah a pariah he gives me life Weave a spell that none can tell that all's not well where they dwell He is a beast I will falsify to use this man until he dies I will use his blood to mystify to anoint you all drenched in sighs I count the heads of those I've bled of those I've lead to where I tread Where the blind the one-eyed is king lead us not into temptation Some are blind with just good eyes deliver us from contemplation Watch the old get religion quick In the devil you may not believe lead us not into revelation But he still believes in you deliver us from fascination In vain to escape the tomb In pain knowing of their doom I'm reaching out you're coming in I'm reaching out you're wearing thin I'm reaching out you're coming in I'm reaching out you're wearing thin He saw the image of a man crucified in the midst of his wings with his hands and his feet nailed to the cross He's bleeding out you're coming in I'm reaching out you're wearing thin He's bleeding out you're drinking in He's bleeding out to drown your sins And his mind was flooded with a mixture of joy and sorrow He was lost in a world of wonder Each day I'm the god Each hour I'm the rule Every minute is mine Every second for the fool You quote from the book but you don't understand He is what he is you worshippers of man Superficial saviours of God is what you crave till your grave still you lead them on May fate have its vengeance on you when the last dollar's spent and your days are through When the death knell it rings with the tolling of the bell you'll realize just how far you fell Red in claw sharp in tooth man is man but the truth is the truth they turn their backs now to the Son Red in claw sharp in tooth They bore witness but still need proof they bow their heads as the night falls
Yesterday I sat in wonder at the flowers and the grave still she's gone still she's gone Now there are times I sit and ponder should I lament kneel and pray and go on and go on My tears have become my holy water stoking dead fires in empty rooms for so long, so wrong Should I regret and always atone after all we all come in and go out alone all alone Even though it's not December I feel that killing chill in me as it grows it always grows but I say no The garden that was you now lays fallow The dust that is me now can't quench its thirst anymore so long I'm just a man that wants a ship to heaven to see her again and again but I have no wings no magical means all I have are my memories Memories My tears became my holy water I was stoking dead fires in empty rooms for so long, so wrong Should I regret or even atone after all we all come in and go out alone I never trusted this life for a moment but I drank it in anyway the wine-stained pages we each turn are often seen in black and white And through the ages I've learned to clear a space on the shelf and dust off the lies to read every book and every last line and then burn the page

Eye for eye tooth for tooth and truth for lies Claw for claw defenseless by the law So there I was Innocent until proven guilty And here I am no mercy trial or jury You for me the palace for the guillotine as for me guilty because I knew No doors no windows No signs of life No doors no windows No speech no rights This is a sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom but like every super-state that preceded it it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace This power sins entraps and breaks you in its lair This power wins when all are broken by despair We are the ones who keep and tend the fire cast you down to the Hell below cast you down to the Hell below and watch you burn We are the ones who speak eternal liars cast you down to the Hell below Shatter the lives of the common man sever their hearts and bring the heartache Master their minds do all we can Twist the truth until their will breaks Shatter their lives You say it could never happen here And there are those who listen but still will not hear But when the face of evil appears at their door they will disbelieve nevermore And when the final blood is shed who will bury the dead We are the ones who keep and tend the fire cast you down to the Hell below cast you down to the Hell below and watch you burn We are the ones who speak eternal liars cast you down to the Hell below Shatter the lives of the common man sever their hearts and bring the heartache Master their minds do all we can Twist the truth until their will breaks Full spectrum dominance Eminent domain for all Disinformation is the plan for the obsolete man

Every thought I know returns in a haze And every move I show goes dark into a maze And every move I see steals shadows from light While all the strength in me refuses to fight Everlong each movement stings Each night a death knell rings Everlong Everlong the daybreak brings detachment from everything Everlong Once freedom reigned in the land of the fathers But now I am shamed misplace and guarded I see the revelation of their ways to for ever and ever press a boot upon each face Now I'm locked away all I have are dreams accused for asking why guilty for questioning schemes And they use blame to change the game Still the world inside me will not be erased I'll transcend this madness both in time and space They deny our futures for them there's none in their final solution they will regret what they've done Born free birthright birthright born free Come into the process Here it's safe and warm Even in the coldest winter we mesmerise and charm The weak we find disgusting they will do our deeds enforce the laws we give them to satisfy our greed Human Disease Human Disease Mental Disease I look out my cell window towards my home life was rich there but now with grief it's overgrown I am defiant I am violent when you take away everything I've known Pure pressure Peer censure slandering your name leaves those distraught that you wish to tame Peer pressure Pure pressure bow down and serve builds the pressure what you deserve Every thought I know returns returns in a peaceful grace And every mood I show will still will still be embraced And every move I see will be will be a clarity of sight While all the power in me won't cease won't ever cease to give up the fight No
