Swimming the Desert 03:59
lyrics
Waiting, Wanting Hands to guide Fear of living your own life Slipping into thin disguise you Find that you're in need of better tides Passing faces Peace Invite Needing solace for your life Puzzle pieces never seem to fit You left the search you're forcing it You're looking Like fishes Washed ashore on desert beaches You cover up your eyes Drowning in the desert where you lie This desert's dry You're left to die I see rain pouring down Will it wash you clean Swimming in the desert you will drown Will you drown? In the desert you will drown Penitential, Willing weak Nightmare of a waking dream Never happy you're not satisfied You're blaming everyone besides You're drowning Like fishes Out to dry on desert reaches Mirages fool the eyes Swimming in the desert of your mind

This Is War 04:16
lyrics
Call up the generals and gather the force Ready the captains and the men to settle scores Strike up the banners of the faceless corporate whores Good morning sunshine you are going off to war Another war to fight what are we fighting for? In the name of freedom who's the freedom for? Sometimes friends make better enemies Is it worth fighting? This is not my WAR! WAR! Disinformation through the media machine Propaganda pimps poisoning the feed Raising sympathies through subtle ministerings Blood in the peoples veins are bursting at the seams Another war to fight what are we fighting for? In the name of freedom who's it really for? We need new friends we need new enemies Is it worth fighting? This is not my WAR! WAR! Take up your guns Patriot Sons! Corporate Guns! Send in your sons Patriot Sons! Corporate Guns! Bring in the planes Patriot Sons! Corporate Guns! Drop down the bombs Patriot Sons! Corporate Guns! Strike up the banners get ready for WAR! Another war to fight what are we fighting for? They say it's 'We the people' but I want no more! We have no friends we have more enemies! We keep on fighting... WAAAARRRRRRRRRR!

What It Is 04:16
lyrics
Every choice has a consequence When a promise is broken it's counted against you And it's not what you said it's what you did Or what you didn't my friend, oh We're frayed at the ends Never knew what it really meant It breaks when it bends And takes time to mend Now I know better You showed me better You're so much better than me Betrayed our trust cause it fit your need What a man you've become I cannot stand you Double standards the name of your game You rolled the dice and it's me you played, ow We're frayed at the ends Never knew what it really meant It breaks when it bends And takes time to mend Guess it is what it is Said it is what it is Know it is what it is Guess it's nothing at all Never wish you the worst of anything Never wish you the best if it's the same And it is Guess it is what it is Said it is what it is Know it is what it is Guess it's nothing at all You're so much better than me

The Good Ship Chaos 03:14
lyrics
Alone at sea a winter storm A pale ghost ship that lost its' course The dead of night all perfect black Rising swells pulling me back False fires driving me to shore Chaos in my Soul Crashing waves on jagged rocks Spring low tide reveals all that's lost Thrashing in the reef I've run aground Abandon ship it's going down The sirens calling me to shore Chaos takes control Chaos in my soul No, no, no False fires driving me to shore Chaos in my soul Chaos takes control

Blood Cravings 05:43
lyrics
Saw you there distracted I'm hiding in my cage Slithering in shadows creep Breathing at your Nape Oh God I've done it again Bound in desire I'm free I'm a slave To the whim and the will of desire For the blood that I crave Yeah, yeah, yeah The blood that I crave Calming sequestered Holding at bay Then a switch and I can't think I'm seeking out new prey! Oh God I've done it again Bound in desire I'm free I'm a slave To the whim and the will of desire For the blood that I crave all over again The blood that I crave all over again The blood that I crave I made the same mistakes again I feel the itch and scratch it in vain You know that I'll back again The cycle never ends Born out a question Philosophy or fate Not that answers come from it Ask it just the same Oh God I've done it again Bound in desire I'm free I'm a slave To the whim and the will of desire For the blood that I crave all over again The blood that I crave all over again The blood that I crave

For the Love of Hate 04:23
lyrics
You set a course for denial Sullen innocuous state of mind The shortest path for the longest distance A show of mercy not mercy is mine So arise Passionate despise For your shame Pointed fingers placing blame And I have only hate No sympathy just rage And in an angry state Driven and controlled by hate You set a cause for a trial So in an obvious state I find I wanna turn it to ashes build again Consume in fire and redefine So arise Passionate despise For your shame Pointed fingers placing blame And I have only hate No sympathy just rage And in an angry state Driven and controlled by hate I don't wanna hate you I want you to love me Why do I hate you? Why don't you love me? Fighting With all that I can and I'm Finding All that I am while I'm Fighting With all that I am I keep Finding What can and will overcome hate

Out of Mind 03:46
lyrics
So you think you've got it all figured out with me I am the one that gives you anything You just make a wish and then it's in your hands I lie subjective to the will of your command Out of your fucking mind You're driving me out of mine Out of your fucking mind You're driving me out of mine So you think you've seen the worst of what I can be I have been purified to fit your need You will bleed me dry with all of your demands I lie a sacrifice for everything you stand Out of your fucking mind You're driving me out of mine Out of your fucking mind You're driving me out of my mind I'm out of mine But I don't seem to mind I need some space to set my head aright Live your truth without making mine I don't mind Out of mind Never mind Out of your fucking mind You're driving me out of mine Out of your fucking mind You're driving me out of my mind You get the best of me You want to see me bleed But you just need to see Maybe you need to bleed Cus there's no compromise Set aside For your device My sacrifice Everything Not a thing Never mind lost my mind

The Witches Spell 06:01
lyrics
Throw them in the water, will they float? Earth and sun and moon in comfort coats Power sent out is received three fold Shaping, bending, weaving the unknown The Witches Spell, you will be undone One with the devil they said! One with the tribes of the damned! One of the blessed who curse the truly wicked! Hunted down as heretics in sin Birth and death and life hung over men By the spilling of this drop of blood Something wicked surely this way comes The Witches Spell, you will be undone One with the devil they said! One with the tribes of the damned! One of the blessed who curse the truly wicked! I can see forever Safe inside your hands Goddess Holy Mother Child, Horned Man One with the devil they said? One with the tribes of the damned! One with the Devil they said! One of the blessed who curse the truly wicked! I can see forever Safe inside your hands Goddess Holy Mother Child, Horned Man One with the devil they said? One with the devil they said! One with the devil they said, Burn the witches!

Kiss the Ground 04:07
lyrics
I'm sorry things will never change I've built these walls to hide the shame So many times the earth has passed the sun I am still a boy with nowhere left to run It's over Let me kiss the ground My whole life spent inside this cage There is no key it's who I am I have never been afraid to die I guess I've never really been alive It's over Let me kiss the ground It's over Take me by the hand It's over Time can't turn it around It's over now Heaven's always on the brain Heaven's always on the tongue Heaven's oh so far away Heaven's always on the run It's over Let me kiss the ground It's over Take me by the hand It's over Time can't turn it around Can't turn it around
