Down the rabbit hole we go
Every time, every fail
The fall goes on forever
The serpent swallows his tail
There is no more tomorrow
Nothing now is built to last
The end is the beginning
In the future lies the past
Down to the molecular level we go
To see what we can change
The sequence goes on forever
and the serpent swallows his tail
There is no more tomorrow
Nothing now is built to last
The end is the beginning
In the future lies the past
Into the mouths of madness we go
It was always bound to occur
The decline goes on forever
And the serpent…. Fails to appear

Dear Combatant

I don’t think you understand
I can’t have a battle of wits with an unarmed man
You came to me with tales of culture war
But know nothing of what happened before
What are you fighting for
In someone else’s bullshit war
How can you vote to understand
The simple truth you cannot know
There’s facts you won’t acknowledge
That mean you live a lie
That’s not a hill I plan to die on
If I need to die I die
They want to cheat you
They want to deride you
While I’m trying to guide you
Not trying to hide you
You’ve been lied to for too long
You need the truth at last
Maybe it’s not my truth
But at least I’m honest about that
You’re cannon fodder
In someone else’s fight
You’re marched to the guns
Even though they don’t have the right
Kept down from childhood
Fed on foolish lies
What price a statue
If another woman dies

Hands In Your Pockets
02:59

All that’s mine is mine
All I have to pass the time
All I have is this song
What price for you all to sing along?
I got my hands in my pocket
All I’ve got in this world
Is what I hold in my hands
And what I show to the world
Hands in your pockets cos you just can’t get no love
Hands in your pockets cos you just can’t get no love
Going through the motions
30 seconds to comply
Nothing left to grease your palm
Too late to say goodbye
Money in my pockets cos you just can’t get no love
Hands in your pockets cos you just can’t get no love
Hands in your pockets cos you just can’t get no love
all you need to do when push comes to shove
all you need to do
all you need to do
all you need to do is...
keep your hands where I see them
where I can see them
Where I just, when I just can't get no love

White Wing Crow
03:05

They took my brother years ago
To the hanging tree
They left him in the gibbet
His bones for all to see
This morning as I rose
What was it I could see?
A white wing crow was nesting
Up in the hanging tree
White wing crow
Fly through the snow
Shadow over wing
White wing crow
Where did you go?
You could have been my brother once
The white wing crow he looked at me
With the beady eye
And then I knew as I looked back
That surely I would die
My guilt conscience gnaws at me
My brother dies with me
So I let them hang him for my crimes
So the white wing crow haunts me
White wing crow
Fly through the snow
Shadow over wing
Black wing crow
Where did you go?
You could have been my brother once
White wing crow
Where did you go?
You could have been my brother
You could have saved me
You could have saved me from the other
You could have saved me from the other
You could have saved me from the other

Double Dyed In Disney
03:51

An electrical section
A synapse unfired
A difference of living
A position retired
I’ve stared down my ghosts
A clinical silence
A void to be filled
A moment of violence
An vow unfulfilled
I’ve stared down my ghosts
I failed all my fears
Double Dyed in Disney
And basted in tears
A vision of something
A song for the people
A condition of mercy
An art of the regal
I’ve stared down my ghosts
I failed all my fears
Double Dyed in Disney
And basted in tears
And end of beginning
The loss of a friend
Pull up a chair while
We wait for the end

Void
02:36
|
|||
We live in a grey twilight
And somewhere else people are dying
For gods sake don’t show it
You might just frighten the horses
And I’m tired of all this death you never see
And I’m tired of all these lies
And I hate all the dirty dealing going on
And you’re all the folk I despise
And it feels like pissing into the void
And I'm tired of crying out into the void
And I can't do with all this pissing into the void

While in the Smithy late one night
I found myself accosted
By a weathered man who looked
Like his face was roughly folded
He took it on himself to lift
An entire pack of Marlboros
Then blew smoke in my face
And proceeded on to disclose
this is my blood and my body
What I am saying is no lie
He said this blade is the blade of truth
And rock and roll will never die
I stood up as I made to leave
But he was in my way
He clearly hadn’t finished
In what he had to say
He lit another one of my Marlboros
And slowly cleared his throat
He cleared the bar in a single glance
And stuck my Marlboros in his coat
this is my blood and my body
What I am saying is no lie
He said this blade is the blade of truth
And rock and roll will never die
