Less Than Three
I’m not sure what I became
Chasing solace in bottles
Where did it all go wrong?
I knew I wasn’t always like that
I knew it wasn’t real
It was all just in my mind
But what’s real anyway?
If I could feel it then in some way it must be
I wished that my ghosts would lead me
Back to living, back to feeling
But I know now they’d not help me
I was lost beyond reality and dreams
You! You lead me out of the darkness
My mind was drowned, now I’m driven once again
My ghosts were sent here to harm me
All of my struggles, in vain
Then you came and saved me and…
I did not know I could feel this way about anyone
I wished they’d tell me straight
Tell me how I could’ve stopped this
Stopped me fading away
Just like they used to promise
But I just followed blind
No care for where I was going
Except out of my mind
If I can’t feel it then it can’t be too bad
I wished that my ghosts would heal me
At least make me feel something
But in hindsight they just kept me
Away from achieving anything
You! You’d resurrect me from dead then?
If I’d have known I’d have searched you out myself
If only I’d had more common sense
But common sense is rarely common place
I did not know I could feel this way about anyone
It took me all this time but now I finally know I’ll never be alone
It took me all this time but now I know I’ll never be alone
because
I know I cannot feel this way about anyone else

Our Deity's Final Gift

Our Deity’s Final Gift
I stood aside for so long
While this all got out of hand
The rational have been overpowered by the insane
Enclosed is My apology
The world is full of bloodshed in My name
This is not the way it was supposed to be
I tried to create a paradise
But all you want is human genocide
If I hadn’t chosen to gift you with free will
Would this world have been a better place?
Can happiness be real without freedom?
Is that really the kind of world you’d want?
So, it seems there’s just one choice
Erase My name from tongue and from your voice
Erase your memory of the concept of your Lord
If I can create so to then I can destroy
These wars over which way is the correct to sing My name… This wasn’t my will
I only designed you to look after your fellow man… And enjoy this land
If I could erase your concept of your Deity… Would all of this end?
If I could bring myself into existence for you all… So to I can destroy
Why won’t you think for yourselves?
There’s nothing left for me to do
I must erase your concept of Myself
I pray you will do better without Me
I pray you will do better without Me

The Timid, Timid West
The constant repetition
It never ends
There is no escape and no defence
We all live in black and white
We all live in suit and tie
Slaves until we die
So why don’t you find something worth so much more
Or someone who makes life worth living for
We all know we only do this to survive
Just make sure that you still feel alive
We all live our lives underneath pollution clouds
Every day it grinds us further down
We’re all on our way before the sun starts to rise
We’re all trapped away until another day has died
We all live our lives underneath expectation
There’s always something more that can’t be forgotten
We’re all on our way before the sun starts to rise
We’re all trapped away until another day has died
So why don’t you find something worth so much more
Or someone who makes life worth living for
We all know we only do this to survive
Just make sure that you still feel alive
I feel alive
I will not be broken down
Every day we spend together is another gift for us
Together we can take on anything
We are alive
We will not be broken down
Every day we spend together is another gift for us
Together we are stronger than I ever thought was possible
You
You try to beat us down
It’s futile when you can understand the power of us now
They will never beat us down
We’re stronger than anything the world can throw at us

Euphoria
Euphoria washes over
As the crowd it slowly amasses
With a total air of devotion
As he dictates to the masses
Listen well
You no longer need your riches
Hand them over too us now
You no longer need your free will
Surrender yourself to us
I demand your love
I demand your devotion
I demand you obey
Would you die for love?
Die for us?
There’s a promise of purification
There’s a promise of ecstasy
If you’ll only drink down this poison
You’ll have no more left to fear
Listen well
You no longer need your lives
Hand them over too us now
You no longer need your souls
Surrender yourself to us
I demand your love
I demand your devotion
I demand you obey
Would you die for love?
Die for us?
If you really love us then you’d be prepared to die
We own all your lives

Silhouette

Silhouette
I saw your silhouette but it slipped away
Your shadows faded into dark
Were you ever there at all?
I felt the embrace of your tender frame
But once again it’s just dark
Were you ever there at all?
I heard your voice it whispered softly in my ear
“Leave this world behind, leave it all a memory”
I heard your voice it whispered softly in my ear
“Leave this world behind, leave this place of misery”
But if I followed silhouettes today
I’d turn to grey, then to dark
So much still left to do I’d throw away
As I decayed and turned to dust
Why does your silhouette still follow me
Enticing me into the dark?
Were you ever there at all?
I heard your voice it whispered softly in my ear
“Leave this world behind, leave it all a memory”
I heard your voice it whispered softly in my ear
“Leave this world behind, leave this place of misery”
I’m not ready to follow you
Just think how much I’d leave behind
I’m not ready to follow you, yet
It’s not my time
The main thing I miss about you is the way you always smiled
Sending shivers down my spine
No amount of bliss could recreate that feeling
Not even close

Jihad
Follow me now!
Listen up I’m here to warp your minds with my own beliefs so you will do my bidding
I’ll use religion as a scapegoat
So your families will be proud and think you died for a cause
But the truth is different
I’m just corrupting your youth and making them think they have opinions
But the truth is different
They’re just brainwashed to do whatever I say where and whenever I feel
The Western world is in a slow decay eating it’s greedy self so think in my own way
Just use religion as a scapegoat
Say you’re discriminated against and commit to suicide
But the truth is different
I’m just corrupting your youth and making them think they have opinions
But the truth is different
They’re just brainwashed to do whatever I say where and whenever I feel
Strap yourself up, arm, ignite
God smiles down on your deeds
You’ll be with him soon
What a glorious end to your life
Strap yourself up, arm, ignite
God smiles down on your deeds
You’ll be with him soon
What a glorious end to your life
A true hero! You’ll die for my cause!
A true hero! You’ll die for my cause!
An afterlife filled with riches beyond wildest dreams you’ll get your just rewards
Innocent families destroyed and blown apart: they got what they deserved?
Save lives by destroying yourself!
Save lives by destroying yourself!
Save lives by destroying yourself!
Save lives by destroying your fucking self!
Strap yourself up, arm, ignite
God smiles down on your deeds
You’ll be with him soon
What a glorious end to your life
Strap yourself up, arm, ignite
God smiles down on your deeds
You’ll be with him soon
What a glorious end to your…
Can we bring it back down to a human level?
Just don’t deny your impulses
Don’t deny your lust for eternal pleasure
Back down to a human level
Just don’t deny your impulses
Don’t deny your lust for eternal pleasure
You’re mindless, worthless, excuses for humans
You’re mindless, worthless, excuses for humans

Little Death

Little Death
It started with
A look just between us
You shimmered and shined
Like you came from the other side
I drew you near
Looked deep into your eyes
I felt your breath on my lips
So warm and inviting
You died in my arms that night
Convulsing and squirming
You screamed at the top of your lungs
Just a little death
The stars aligned
The room was on fire
There was no one there but us
Lost in each other
The walls closed in
The candles flickered
Our breathing intensified
In an epic crescendo
You died in my arms that night
Contorted and pulsing
You screamed at the top of your lungs
Just a little death
The whole world faded away
No one but us remained
We sat back and laughed at everyone else
Because they weren’t us
The whole world faded away
No one but us remained
And all our problems became memories
Because we weren’t ourselves anymore
This is the way we know it will be, forever
Two souls entwined against everything, together
Clear in our minds
Applause in the rafters
The whole world belongs to us now
Cue our laughter
