DISORDER
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by
the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man
New sensations barely interest me for another day
I've go the spirit,
lose the feeling, take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting
out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
I've got
the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet
again
I'm watching you, I'm watching her - I take no pity from your friends
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now
Until the
spirit, new sensation takes hold - then you know
I've got the spirit, but
lose the feeling, feeling, feeling
DAY OF THE LORDS
This is the room, the start of it all
No portrait
so fine, only sheets on the wall
I've seen the nights, filled with
bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where
will it end?
These are your friends, from childhood through youth
Who goaded you on, demanded full proof
Withdrawal pain's hard, it can do
you right in
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin
Where will it
end?
This is the car at the edge of the road
There's
nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed
I guess you were right, when
we talked in the heat
There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak
Where will it end?
This is the room, the start of it all
Through
childhood, through youth, I remember it all
I've seen the nights, filled
with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where will it end?
CANDIDATE
Forced by the pressure, the territory's marked
No
longer the pleasure, I've since lost the heart
Corrupted from memory, no
longer the power
It's creeping up slowly, that last fatal hour
Oh I
don't know what made me, what gave me the right
To mess with your values and
change wrong to right
Please keep your distance - the trail leads to here
There's blood on your fingers, brought on by fear
I campaigned for
nothing, I worked hard for this
I tried to get to you - you treat me like
this
It's just second nature, it's what we've been shown
We're living by
your rules, that's all that we know
I tried to get to you - oh how I tried
to get to you
INSIGHT
Guess the dreams always end - they don't rise up just
descend
But I don't care anymore - I've lost the will to want more
I'm
not afraid, not at all - I watch them all as they fall
But I remember when
we were young
Those with habits of waste - their sense of style and
good taste
Of making sure you were right - hey, don't you know you were
right?
I'm not afraid anymore - I keep my eyes on the door
But I
remember
Tears of sadness for you - more upheaval for you
Reflects a moment in time - a special moment in time
Yeah, we wasted our
time - we didn't really have time
But we remember when we were young
And all God's angels beware - and all you judges
beware
Sons of chance take good care - for all the people out there
I'm
not afraid anymore - I'm not afraid anymore
NEW DAWN FADES
A change of speed, a change of style
A change of
scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still
occupied, though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over
each mistakes were made - I took the blame
Directionless, so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free - so you say
We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice
and one who cried
We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too
much, can't take much more
Oh I've walked on water, run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me-ee, waiting for me
Hoping
for something more
Me-ee, seeing me this time
Hoping for something else
SHE'S LOST CONTROL
Confusion in her eyes that says it all - she's lost control
And she's
clinging to the nearest passer-by - she's lost control
And she gave away the
secrets of her past and said: I've lost control again.
And of a voice that
told her when and where to act
She said: I've lost control again.
And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said: I've lost control
again
And how I'll never know just why or understand she said: I've lost
control again
And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said: I've lost
control again
And seized up on the floor - I thought she'd die
She said:
I've lost control
She's lost control again - she's lost control
Well I had to phone her friend to state her case and say she's lost control
again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said: I've lost
control again
But she expressed herself in many different ways until she
lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed: I've
lost control
She's lost control again - she's lost control
I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
When the
darkness broke in I just broke down and cried
I could live a little in a
wider line
When the change is gone - when the urge is gone
To lose
control
When here we come
SHADOWPLAY
To the centre of the city where all roads meet,
waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching
for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a
room with a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing
no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies, made a move to connect
I
could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let
them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night,
waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
WILDERNESS
I travelled far and wide through many different times
What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys
What did you
see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed
I travelled far and wide to prisons of the cross
What did you see there? The power and glory of sin
What did you see
there? The blood of Christ on their skins
I travelled far and wide where unknown martyrs died
What did you see there? I saw the one-sided trials
What did you see
there? I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes
Tears
in their eyes
INTERZONE
I walked through the city limits
[Someone took me
in to do it]
Attracted by some force within it
[Had to close my eyes to
get get close to it]
Around the corner where a prophet lay
[Saw the
place where she'd a room to stay]
A wire fence where children play
[Saw
the bed where the body lay]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
[And
I had no time to waste]
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
The car screeched - hear the sound on dust
[Heard
a noise - just a car outside]
Metallic blue turned red with rust
[Pulled
in close by the building's side]
In a group all forgotten youth
[Had to
think, collect my senses now]
Turned on to a night with you
[Find some
place where my friends don't go]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
[And I had no time to waste]
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
Down the dark streets [Getting darker now]
The
houses looked the same [Faces look the same]
And I walked round and round
[No stomach, torn apart]
Nail me to a train [Had to think again]
Trying
to find a clue [Trying to move away]
Trying to find a way to get out [Had to
move away and keep out]
Four, twelve windows, ten in a row
[Behind a wall
I looked down low]
The lights shine like a neon show
[Inserted deep felt
a warmer glow]
No place to stop, no place to go
[No time to lose, had to
keep on going]
I guess they died some time ago
[I guess they died some
time ago]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
[And I had no time to
waste]
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
I REMEMBER NOTHING
We were strangers - we were strangers, for way too long
Violent violent, were strangers
Get weak all the time - we just pass the
time
Me in my own world - yeah you there beside
The gaps are enormous -
we stare from each side
We were strangers, for way too long
Violent, more violent his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and
surrendered too soon
Me in my own world, the one that you knew
We were
strangers - for way too long
