I Prayed
05:58
|
|||
I prayed for hope and life unchanged
And God seems quite deranged
But that doesn’t matter
I prayed for happiness and health
But God seeks endless wealth
And that doesn’t matter
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears when I pray
For blessings heaven-sent
But God is not your friend
And that’s all that matters
I prayed for love and world peace
But war defends beliefs
In things that don’t matter
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears when I pray
Pray that all the world starts to understand
Pray instead of thinking, hand in hand
Pray away the suffering, the hunger, and the fear
It disappears
Maybe it’s the world, that’s what the prophets said
Maybe it’s just me, it’s all inside my head
And then maybe it’s you, doing what they told you to!
Did you pray!?
I prayed, too.

Kill Your Servants
03:11
|
|||
You have the audacity to show your face
When it’s clear you aim to end the human race
All you pious hypocrites, brandishing the cross
Your followers accept your gain is at their cost
Your attempt to ostracize is their excuse to terrorize
Your love of God is a narcissistic fraud
The church controls society if you kill your servants quietly
Populate the graveyard with the ones you’ve blessed
And make sure that the corpses wear their Sunday best
Your attempt to ostracize is their excuse to terrorize
Your love of God is a narcissistic fraud
Your church controls society if you kill your servants quietly
Generations toil but your work is not complete
The future that they’re rushing towards is looking bleak
Your attempt to ostracize is their excuse to terrorize
Your love of God is a narcissistic fraud
Your church controls society if you kill your servants quietly

God Is Your Friend
05:25
|
|||
God is your friend
He will defend
Feel his warm breath
Unfaith is death
God gives you life
Grant him his tithe
God is your friend
He will defend
Gather, conspire! Desire for everything!
Higher than anything at all
God only knows
Sell him your soul
God is your friend
He will defend
Give in to guilt
Feel your heart wilt
Gather, conspire! Desire for everything!
Higher than anything at all!
Father, please save me!
Enslave me and punish me!
Until you’re done with me
Then I’ll come back for more
Gather, conspire! Desire for everything!
We’ll follow anything at all…

I Wanna Know
03:08
|
|||
Tell me what you
Tell me what you do at night
Tell me what you think I think of you
Aren’t you afraid
Why aren’t you afraid of me
Why aren’t you afraid I’ll find out what you do
I’m watching you
When you look at yourself
Do you see someone else
Representing you
Telling you what you do
When you look at death’s face
Hope you appreciate
The punishment that you face
Knowing that God is fake
How do you look
How do you look at yourself
How do you look at yourself in the mirror every day
I wanna know
I wanna know what you believe
I wanna know how often you cry yourself to sleep
You count on sheep
When you look at yourself
Do you see someone else
Representing you
Telling you what you do
When you look at death’s face
Hope you appreciate
The punishment that you face
Knowing that God is fake
Every time you say His name
You should be ashamed
You’re not someone else
You’re responsible for yourself
And when you say those words
And tell them what you heard
That wasn’t someone else
That’s something you decided to say yourself

Your Life
04:44
|
|||
I took the long road home to let my mind unravel
A voice inside my head spoke to me as I travelled
“I don’t see your life as a problem,
I don’t think it matters either way
Life goes on, with or without you
Make the best of whatever remains to be seen”
I saw a light appear somewhere off in the distance
It was faintly glimmering and yet again I listened
“I don’t see your life as a problem,
I don’t think you matter anyway
Life goes on, with or without you
Make the best of whatever remains to be seen”
“I don’t see your life as a problem,
I just think we’re better off this way
Life goes on, with or without you
Make the best of whatever remains to be seen”

Today

Today
A smile on your face
Gone without a trace
Hopelessly erased
Today
I feel like I know me
I feel like I can see
Any day can be today
One day everything will be okay
One night everything will be alright
‘Til then, everything feels like falling
Hold on… (just hold on)
Today
Today
Eyes well up with tears
Time to face my fears
After hiding years and years
Today
Happiness returns
Tell me what you’ve yearned for
Tell me when you’ve learned more
Tell me when I’ve earned your love today
One day everything will be okay
One night everything will be alright
‘Til then, everything feels like falling
Hold on… (just hold on)
Today
A smile on your face
A smile on your face
A smile on your face
A smile on your face

Soldier's Winter
04:21
|
|||
Inching north in caravans plagued by cries of pain
Can’t see very far ahead through icy sheets of rain
Blood and guts from cold deep cuts, splashed across the snow
Too cold and too tired to desert this undertow
Hollow, false hope
Forced march through this frozen hell, plagued by profound sadness
Each step brings us closer still to certain death or madness
Hollow, false hope
Fading slowly
March on splinters
Worse than dying
Soldier’s winter
We're all alone
Fading slowly
March on splinters
Worse than dying
Soldier’s winter
We're all alone
Alone

Parasite
02:54
|
|||
Hold your tongue
I can’t hear myself think
Speak for yourself
I can’t hear your dreams
Go away
We don’t need your bullshit
Nobody cares
It’s so plain to see
Parasite
Filthy Parasite
Live your life
Filthy Parasite
Nepotist
You only care for your kind
Your Vanity
It isn’t all about you
Shut your mouth
Let somebody else speak
Just Fade away
Unless you’re spoken to
Parasite
Filthy Parasite
Live your life
Filthy parasite
Narcissist
Ignorant
Selfish mess
Parasite
Hold your tongue
I can’t hear myself think
Speak for yourself
I can’t hear your dreams
Go away
We don’t need your bullshit
Nobody cares
It’s so plain to see
Parasite
Filthy parasite
Live your life
Filthy parasite
Narcissist
Ignorant
Selfish mess
Parasite

Falling Star
06:12
|
|||
Falling star! Comes from the sky to where we are!
Just close your eyes and fall in love!
Let yourself go, come to me…
Signs on the breeze
The trees and the birds
Tell the story of the falling star
Pass without trace
The woodlands erased
In the light of the falling star
Climb the mountain, cross the stream
Travel light to lift your soul
For mine exists in a dream
Skies turn to red
My head readjusts
Knowing everything that must be done
Falling star! Comes from the sky to where we are!
Just close your eyes and fall in love!
Let yourself go, come to me…
Sing me a song
As long as you please
Winding words, winding notes
Passing comet melodies
Climb the mountain, cross the stream
Travel light to lift your soul
For mine exists in a dream
Falling star! Comes from the sky to where we are!
Just close your eyes and fall in love!
Let yourself go, come to me…

Live Forever
03:12
|
|||
I thought I’d live forever
In a vale of dying stars
But I missed out on who you are
And a promise sometimes fades
And stars die every day
I thought I’d meet you one day
In a field, in wind and rain
But I noticed something is not the same
And a promise always dies
And stars have finite lives
And I missed out on the whole world according to you!
But that’s okay; I’m not ashamed to be myself!
I thought I’d live forever
But a star must also die
And I missed out on all my life
