1. Temptation

driven by restrained desire
i want what i need
shaking as her sex takes hold
i've lost all control

drowning in a sea of rage
i taste the embrace
helpless as it steals my soul
i've lost all control

we exist in a world where the fear of illusion is real
and we cling to the past to deny and confuse the ideal
once inside we conceive and believe in a god we can't feel

destined by a fate so cruel
and drugged to delight
laughing as these lies unfold
i've lost all control

temptation
it never lets me down
temptation
one foot in the ground
temptation
it satisfies my soul
temptation
i've lost all control


2. Army Ants

bring on the absolute
a walk on the water
will lead you to slaughter

no one will feel you
no one will hear you

bring on the brave new world
tied to condition
a slave to submission

no one will feel you
no one will hear you

all that i need
is a way to deceive
the eyes of the end
i will rise once again
and shine on

crawl on your hands and knees
blind to the vision
the dawn of decision


3. Psychopomp

you wanted this
so sad to see
the sweet decay
of ecstasy

and you want it all

a frozen sun
will guide you there
as shadows hide
the deep despair

and you want it all

i'll give you something more
and you'll fade away
one last kiss before
you fade away

so sleep tonight
in idle dreams
the pain will drown
your silent screams

and you want it all

i'll give you something more
and you'll fade away
one last kiss before
you fade away
lives you once adored
will fade away
lied you can't ignore
you soon repay
as you fade away


4. Gyroscope

you wanted this
so sad to see
the sweet decay
of ecstasy

and you want it all

a frozen sun
will guide you there
as shadows hide
the deep despair

and you want it all

i'll give you something more
and you'll fade away
one last kiss before
you fade away

so sleep tonight
in idle dreams
the pain will drown
your silent screams

and you want it all

i'll give you something more
and you'll fade away
one last kiss before
you fade away
lives you once adored
will fade away
lied you can't ignore
you soon repay
as you fade away


5. Alarum

I took a slide slipping down a staircase
A piranesian dream
My sense reeled destroyed by the darkness
I lit my way with a scream
And in the rave an alarum caused a cracked mirror
I got confused by the sound
I turned around and touched it from a distance
And then it fell to the ground

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

Oh no nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me
Breakes me
Shakes me down

And in my mind was the fury of a madness
That consecrated the dirt
I stumbled through the enigma of the reason
And celebrated the hurt
And then I found through an act of desperation
A subtle rip in the heart
I was seduced by the fear of devestation
And then it tore me apart

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

Oh no nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me
Breaks me
Shakes me down

A quick escape from the fear of commination
I slept the night with my spleen
A vain excuse I was searching for some answers
I broke away from the scene
Because after all animality's an instinct
And it's luxuria's slave
To taste the truth it's a seizure of the senses
And it's a foot in the grave

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

Oh no nothing matters
When it takes me
When it rapes me
Breaks me
Shakes me down
(x3)


6. Release

i want the world to wake
i want to give you peace
i want to vindicate
you need to be released

don't want to hurt you
i need to make you see
if i desert you
it's just to make you see

that i'm a man that's weak
and i'm a man that's lost
i gave it all away
to complicate the cost

don't want to hurt you
i need to make you see
if i desert you
it's just to make you see
no going to hurt you now
i need to make you see
if i desert you now
it's just to make you see

i want you to be free
i want you to be free from me


7. Transmission

We fear what we see in the distance
We're shattered by life's soft deceit
Enslaved to our thoughts by our reason
Refusing to walk with the weak
Walk with me

Betrayed by the past's desolation
We slept listless nights by the shore
Searching for signs of salvation
Hoping to find something more
Something more

Tell me what I have when it all slips away
Tell me what I see when the light fades away
Tell me what I hold in the palm of my hand
Tell me what I feel because I'm trying to understand

I'm sending transmission

Confused by the weight of our virtue
We follow the paths of the slain
In silence we walk through these shadows
Embracing the pleasures of pain
Once again

Tell me what I have when it all slips away
Tell me what I see when the light fades away
Tell me what I hold in the palm of my hand
Tell me what I feel because I'm trying to understand

I'm sending transmission (x4)


8. Babylon

Now that the thrill
Of the massacre's over
Isn't it sweet when
She sucks on your veins
I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited
So long

I roll back the stone
Just to see what I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeur
Now faced with defeat
I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited
So long

Now that your kingdom
Of Babylon's fading
Where will you turn
When you can't find your soul
I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited
So long

Salvation's at hand
It's a matter of taste dear
Lost in ideals tyhat
You found in the trash
I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited
So long


9. Pulse

i saw a face in the mirror
it made my blood run clear
i think i've waited too long

i went along for the ride
she complicated the slide
i went to take her hand
i couldn't feel a pulse

senseless is pleasure
nothing's forever
the sooner you see
you can't deny me

i had a dream that within
a celbration of sin
you do a dance with denial

i only wanted a friend
to see the beautiful end
i went to take her hand
i couldn't feel a pulse

senseless is pleasure
nothing's forever
the sooner you see
you can't deny me


10. Emerald

confess what you crave
a life without pain
you'd kill for the taste
but the hurt still remains

still they don't know who you are
still never know who you are

just be still my emerald
i'll be waiting for you
do exactly what you're told
i'll be waiting for you

ashamed by the threats
you pierce the embrace
afraid and alone
in a dark lonely place

still they don't know who you are
still never know who you are

did you always want to be
did they try to steal your soul
did they hurt you with deceit
can't you come in from the cold
be still my emerald
i'll be waiting for you


11. Aftermath

desperate to take
lost in it's wake
time slips away too soon

pleasures of fear
drawing us near
where do we go from here

waste what we want
we beg and we're bought
and nothing is wrong with us

life in these veins
godless and stained
glimpses of hope exist

slanted advance
threatened by chance
time slips away too soon

waste what we want
we beg and we're bought
and nothing is wrong with us
