- A Hymn For A Lost Soul
In this land where light shines low,
truest friends and noble folk
with hands outstretched to guide me,
praise thee love, to carry on through
Ask me why we still have to explain?
Why these eyes are dim with tears?
Sweet child, I live for thee.
- Bastogne Blues
Men would fall on both sides, the attacks did surprise. I earned my colours true, as I lay dying with you in the forests of the Ardennes Mountains.
Storms in the sky, the planes could not fly. Their sly minds desire, of trying to try, to reach the Meuse River in four (4) days.
I know brother, we fear, and our wives are not near, and your child''s unborn. Does here come the death? This daring we''re reading of. The wind was too strong.
Your war crimes are a rude sight, in Malmedy that night, in some SS fucks mind the thoughts come up to decide on the massacre of 84 men.
So near, so far, the end of this War. Push your final offensive here on the Western Front, where you try to divide us, but there''s a line, where you''ll retreat, defeated ; Siegfried.
Then the weather allowed a force to the sky, all progression needs fuel, yet you try to pursue, or thieve it in your failed operations.
Country wide, the levee''s are smeared with my brothers demise, I''m trying to try, to remember some beautiful days.
- Burning Bridges
Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
- Burnt Reynolds
Down my lover, down my child, away my former beings
Fortune never shined inside the light you pour to me
Down my lover, down my child, away my former beings
Fortune never shined inside the light you pour to me
Fourteen Seventeen times I've been denied
(I was totally wrong. The morning arrives with new hope and optimism. After lengths of time that rapidly fade. Eventually, as always, the thoughts of better times give way to fear and inevitable conflict here we found ourselves, again)
- Fantastic Justice
I had a terrible vision on the last night. I realised before we can approach we must separate. No system brings me down, so I won't let this be.
As I sneak over in case our fires collide, medications for old and for wise.
Though I trusted her before, now I sigh at the logic, it sways from the left to the right.
Then your mother comes over, improving her pace, as she's sinking her nails in a different face. And my brother was never afraid of the cold when his liver it failed at just nineteen years old.
If you give me more time, I won't make you be dead, and I'll look to the side when you're walking ahead.
I dare you one more time, try and fall in my way. With your whispers and secret and lies, it is her you betray.
The justice will be so fantastic, crow's leaving. The Shitehawks will fall when their tails are re-feathered with lead.
- Laying Traps
We'll never bow, no compromise.
Come test me, feel my scorn.
I'll be coming back to haunt you when I'm gone.
Behold me!
We're laying traps back down.
Pray do watch us stand our grand,
As we're subversively misleading you out to sea.
- Of A Lifetime
The mist is slowly lifting
The sound of life misplaced your mind
You're sitting, spellbound throughout time
I hope that you remember what you find
Singing of a lifetime
You put it down, all that I'm thinking
But take a long and distant search
- Rise Up And Fight
Rise up
Rise up and fight
Move in
Move in the ... closed
You ...Tonight
Tonight the fights surround my (?)
Rise up
- Run Like Hell
You better run like hell
You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
- Suppose I Told The Truth
Brahman when you breath out, the ballrooms eyes are down
And thieves become your brothers in a town of mine
Throw me on your dancefloors, let it go today
I'm mighty proud of lovers I've discovered in my days
I want to reign like my brothers, command my own ways
I want to reign like my brothers
- Sweeter Than You
I could never be love by anyone sweeter than you
And I could never belong to anyone sweeter than you
With you to stand beside me, I'll never be alone
And what more could I long for than to have you for my own?
My only desire is loving you eternally
For no, no other love could ever mean so much to me
So if you say you love me, forever I'll be true
- Troublemaker
n 1605 he recoiled against the state. Packed explosives underground. Companions play out their roles like some game of chess, make diplomacy unsound.
The grails man desires he destroys through the greed in his head. The protestant King may go down, Trouble Maker was bred.
Friends, trouble may rise and trouble may ebb. Of makers and weavers of lies, carefully tread.
Trouble may rise, and trouble may ebb. Step back and envisage the whole game.
The shipwrecked East End economic underclass knew of his modus operandi. His thrusting and cutting weapons put scars on faces so they'd stand out in a crowd. Whores talked too much for him. Trades in desire he wanted dead. This horse needs a cage not a stall, Trouble Maker was bred.
- We Forgotten Who We Are
We've forgotten who we are. As men make their own history, still they know we are chained and bound by all the past traditions of dead generations.
So let's raise this bitter glass to us never getting through. When I look into your eyes, I can see you see it too.
For I know that you believe in truth. I try to channel Hughes. Though you doubt me inconsequentially, it gives me more to prove.
Was there some hidden grin within your face when we met last winter? Our past still looms over us as we pretend to be friends.
We exist through history. Inquiry and knowledge acquired by investigation.
You're like some poor Pharaoh, (but) no more meek tales of past seasons, for tonight we must make haste.
You are the hunted King, uncrowned. Cars collide with horses, like mere stings of Civilisations.
- You Take The Devil Out Of Me
Come on, right on, it's a great lament
still of night and dark within
they don't come, they won't face the question
Smile, needle, the need of hope
just pray amen and fetch my doll
they won't call, the won't face the question
