Vanilla War Zone 02:59
lyrics
Cry meaningless murders cry nuclear waste Barren desert Barren waste land Pawns in the game American jet fighters fly over head Farm to factory worm to wounded dawn of the dead Sweet warbling birds on the feathers of black Vulture picking rosebush sticking Pointless attack My nursery showed me the atom age blast storms are nearing what I'm hearing songs of my past

the Good Winds are Coming 03:05
lyrics
Good winds bring bad winds bring times that some call strange I won't hold on to anything I'm sure to see a change The good winds keep me hoping and the bad ones make me scream Good winds and bad winds Are blowing off the steam A storm is brewing A storm is brewing Good winds bring bad winds Bring fortunes as they may Bring ruin to some people to others they bring rain I'm letting go of everything And you might say that's strange But I really don't care I just want to see things change the storm is advancing the storm is advancing

Tauromachian Enigmation 03:55
lyrics
I met my wife in the mountains we were so happy we lived there on cold nights we kept eachother warm but one night at the casino a cowboy come A broken man a bull fighter who possessed me kept me in a fever of rage his tiny brain possessing giant riddles the time has passed for festivals and fiddles i watch him threaten everyone i love his power overwhelms as his cape rides above I lost my wife in the desert the desert of new mexico so close to the mountains I heard the croak of a grisled desperado he drew his gun on me and my children A greedy man a folk hero who got scot free slipped through the scorn of the law man his vampire blood possessing spanish dancers the time has passed I ride among Apaches i watch him menace the tribe I came to love his power waxes as his cape flies above i dug a deep cold grave on a bare hill i'm gonna find him one day this bullfighter he claims his back is too broken to bear him but he does alright with his grifting and his pain pills

Holy Man 03:55
lyrics
they're terrorizing you you're terrorizing me And everyone's a terrorist We all have fear to feed Not looking for a love not looking for my past I'm looking for some holiness the lights are fading fast they took my robes and washed my skin and took me to a tree they chant my name they light the candles how came this to be? I've never been a holy man so how can they believe I hear them call me holy man don't put that cross on me don't put me to the test don't put me from my drink put every soul before your own for love dwells on the brink Don't tame the beating breast of wilderness and wind And never tell me rest when I'm working off my sins they took my hair and cut it off and took me to a pool soothed me with a scneted balm but i remain the fool They sanctify this holy man who shrugs he's lost his soul I've never been a holy man Just full of weary holes I've labored for love lost I've labored for my bread I've put my back against the walls but never held the thread I never saw the blessing I never saw the dream Not looking for love anymore Just want divinity they took my robes and washed my skin and took me to a tree they chant my name they light the candles how came this to be? I've never been a holy man so how can they believe I hear them call me holy man don't put that cross on me

Soft Shell Soft Heart 03:41
lyrics
soft shell soft heart it shouldn't take long for you to tear me apart soft shell soft heart why didn't you tell me you lied why didn't you tell me you lied the crazy things I said to you were mystical and wise but now they just make me cry they make me cry long years old heart it shouldn't take long for them to sell off my art long years old heart why can't everybody just die why can't all the people just die the things i keep from telling you would never win the prise it's only good for a cry it makes me cry Wander now Beneath city lights Cold to touch Brow of bright sleep everyone everybody die why can't you die why can't you sleep sleep in repose and in peace

Stay Out of My Light 03:18
lyrics
Stay out of my light Stop breathing my air Find somewhere to go It's never been fair I'll give you this coin I'll give you this mark Quick blocking my growth On my oath it is hard Its hard to keep searching It's hard to keep fed Stay out of my light Only darkness ahead Stay out of my light Don't bask in my glow I think there's a path up there Where I may go Stay out of my heart Stay out of my grace Stay out of my memory Stay in your own space Don't task me and crowd me Don't stifle my strides Don't claim its just ego That keeps me alive Stay out of my light! Stay lurking in gloom Stay smoking in bed Stay dying of cancer Stay over my head Stay kindling fires Stay burning in hell I hate you I hate you Stop pissing my well

Night Blow 04:05
lyrics
If you want to stay out of trouble You better quit coming back If you think the night's gonna hide you Go ahead and leave Everybody down on their knees Everybody looking for (a blowjob/and/or crack cocaine rocks in the carpet, lol) it please

Barbarian Dreams 04:03
lyrics
Life can be weaned off barbarian dreams For Barbarian dreams lead to death The forge chimes and rings with ominous things The blacksmith has frost on his breath Their armor a patchwork of leather and iron They're honing their spears for the hunt Their purpose is grim and their powers are dire The war will be cold dark and blunt With helmets of grim and thick coats of fur They raise up a noise in the night They know that next day will see some there slain With dawn comes the blood spilling fight Their snarling and grunting with hunger and lust The fires where bronze bucklers gleam With mead and with Ale some may live to tell tales But they all dream barbarian dreams We feast tonight for tomorrow we die let us be in our cups and dream of a better life

Burning Things in Gasoline 03:32
lyrics
a dog burning in the fire but it was only a funeral pyre I may be a fool but I'll never be cruel that way a fever in the smoke let the fire echo as we spoke its just a small spark that's needed to set the flame Burning things in gasoline Its the hot way out for every sheltered teen Gasoline sets a pyro free I'm so excited that he's been guided to me everybody can be a big star with a bucket of fuel for a car The inspiration has a way of holding me a flame bursts out at night friends will come there to see the sight I'm not scared that they'll ever get bored with me Burning things in gasoline Its the hot way out for every sheltered teen Gasoline sets a pyro free I'm so excited that he's been guided to me There's no end to the things I've burned Action figures and long gummy worms It's better that no one finds out about the greese I would never a book to burn I have limits there's things I'd spurn I'd get very upset if you set fire to the geese Burning things in gasoline Its the hot way out for every sheltered teen

Let Your Pretty Hair Hang Down 05:36
lyrics
Isn't she weird a hairy body and a beard Society scolds her and takes her to be sheared Isn't it fun to make an object of her When she looks at me and calls me sir She'll stay down Let your pretty hair hang down Isn't it stupid how the boys all get a say When she goes out into to a world of rape She's an ugly orc with no place in mordor Keep her submissive impenetrable chador She'll stay down Let your pretty hair hang down Like Batman she's a costumed freak A target any time of the week Any season anytime she'll bleed Identity is tied to thee Her pretty hair is bound away She puts her self in evil's way Like children sold to slavery To perverts so unbound and free And when they finish beating thee Thy grave will be beneath a tree Her pretty hair is bound away What choice could keep the dogs at bay Isn't she strange she's taking stones in the face An acid attack she's punished if she's raped A fire in the kitchen when he's done with her I demand that she always calls me sir She'll stay down Let your pretty hair hang down A horror show direct to DVD As a child they gave her a clitoretomy Like objects collected by a human hoarder The wives with their lives spent in a chador She'll stay down Let you pretty hair hang down A superhero in black sheets Another broken dismal freak Any season anytime she'll bleed Identity is tied to thee Her pretty hair is bound away She puts her self in evil's way Like children sold to slavery To perverts so unbound and free Child marriage and a life of hell Thy grave is hidden in a well Her pretty hair is bound away What choice could keep the dogs at bay Ya Hazrat'eh Tahirih

Laser Show 03:03
lyrics
fighter jet careens and explodes on the ground then the sky turns a dread shade of bleak the huricane twsting beyond every border bombs flying nuclear shriek We're going to the lazer show That's something we all aught to know We're going to be bound by spells We're seeing heaven while in hell I told you don't talk to your mamma like that But look ma, it's the end of the world I think all the belfreys have gone to the bats Grab your sister and all of the girls A test site is crawling with zombie space chimps Ressurected from their graves Alamogordo's a great place to die don't you understand?

Should They All Die? 03:49
lyrics
what if you could live forever? what if you never had to die? what if you could bring back the people you loved? for surely you would pass them by but what about the cruel people hurting you? what about the bitter enemies? what about them? Should they all die? what about the people you'll never forgive? what about them? Should they all die? Should they all die? And what if it's just too late to just let go too late to die? what if you could muster an army of angels who couldn't ever die? what if you had to let go and never see the people you loved? if only the shadow of death would pass them by? but what about the ugly ones who tried to destroy you? what about them? should they all die? what about the people you'll never forgive? what about them? Should they all die? Should they all die? And what if it's too late to just let go too late to die? And what if it's too late to just let go too late to die?

Putting God on Trial 03:03
lyrics
I'll be turning down your blessings turning down your curse There's too much that won't get better Before things get much worse Turning up the heat Yes I'll be turning up the dial Maybe I'm the way God made me But that don't make me his child Didn't ask for this Why'd you put me here I'm putting god on trial Lots of people have things worse than me But that don't make things right As I wander in the wilderness Screaming deep into black night And they say I'm to face judgement When I've walked my final mile How could I deserve such scrutiny With a life that's just a pile Didn't ask for this Why'd you put me here I'm putting god on trial I'm told rebellion angers him Mine is not to question Him Fear of judgement I'm to bear Then show yourself, come anywhere any time that you may too often choke down what I must say I've been beaten down by time and trouble In this pointless life I been told to take too much on faith Like a sad submissive wife If it's wrath that's coming my way Let Him hear me and be riled I'm the one who must face judgement When I walk my final mile Didn't ask for this Why'd you put me here I'm putting god on trial Well they say that God tests everyone Not more than they can bear I been bearing tests so long I can't find Any measure fair Maybe secretly he loves defiance And it makes Him smile Maybe when I stand he loves me Though I stand to curse Him vile Didn't ask for this Why'd you put me here I'm putting god on trial I'm told rebellion angers him Mine is not to question Him Fear of judgement I'm to bear Then show yourself, come anywhere any time that you may too often choke down what I must say

Lowlife Lovin 03:32
lyrics
Avert your eyes She's just tryna get on with her life How do we find ourselves alone And never in the mating mode Mine the appearance of a slob Can't drive a car can't get a job I need some loving oh so bad I'm lower than the ones she's had oh there goes my low life lovin It's all a waste oh she'll make a joke of my heartbreak Not trying to be chaste Avert your eyes This one's so beautiful can't stand it How do we do this thing again The ritual that makes us more than friends Mine the appearence of a perv Mine is to grovel and to serve I take a beating for my lust Without love's water all is dust oh there goes my lowlife lovin It's all a mask oh I'll make a prince of this pauper for her if she'd only ask oh there goes my low life lovin It's all a waste oh she'll make a joke of my heartbreak Not trying to be chaste Avert your eyes

You Lost Jesus 03:48
lyrics
You're getting your war You're getting your way You're getting your flag for your palid race You're getting your slaves You're getting your pay You're getting it the All-American way You've lost Jesus I can tell cause you givin The Devil just what he wants You're getting a bomb You're getting decay You're getting your urban wastelands here today You're getting your homeless Your wounded in war You're getting your weapons and you never loved nothing more You've lost Jesus I can tell cause you givin The Devil just what he wants So come to the church come to the parade Come out to the Tiger's football game Come to your elders With heads full of farts Come and strike the fear of Jesus in the heathen heart Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Send Storms Advancing 04:06
lyrics
I leave as we grieve Will you send regards Send me a shield and my coat of arms Send me the tokens of this war The heads of enemies on my floor Into your eyes I show you more A mighty hurricane must be in store In my own way I love you more the storm is advancing Defenders offenders I don't care what you got Don't care if it's cold and don't care if its hot The good winds are coming We need all the change We need to start over Ours gods will be slain Into your eyes I show you more A mighty hurricane must be in store In my own way I love you more

the Dead are Living Everywhere 04:53
lyrics
In the middle of one summer in the middle of the road was a middle aged know it all I was trying not to goad In my last days here among you I hope everybody sees You'll never kill my spirit You'll just sap it out of me They're so focused on their platitudes And the worship that they sell What they call a living wage is what I call a living hell They will never really see themselves what they're slowly turning to You try to flee this small town But the small town follows you the dead are living everywhere the dead are living everywhere When they ask me what I want to be I say free and happy nothing more They object and want to chain me here And expect me to conform They like putting things in boxes Writing fables in the sand Polished buzzards can't be eagles They'll wear out their feeble hands Now my music is a hobby And its not a good career I call that the hill I'll die on But the quicksand's creeping near They're not chasing me with torches But they're drowning me with glue You swear to leave the small town But the small town follows you the dead are living everywhere the dead are living everywhere
