Days of The White Owl Lyrics
FALL OF THE ALL-AMERICAN
Washed up tough buck into a foreign world
Stole your culture, ridiculed
But you showed them didn't you
A physical wonder, that they pedestaled
Smashed their records, they worshipped you
Hero, hero we love you
And you grew, until they pulled it out from you
Yes the body, it caught up with you
All alone, what to do, digging ditches, play on through
In a white man's world, who are you
Just a memory
Just a memory
The hero shines and the real man dies
Just a memory
Just a memory
The hero shines and the real man has died
Fall of the All-American, we loved you
PREY
Here I am living, in this dying world
I take another breath in, with another bill
A slave to the system, I'd like to say no
But who am I kidding, it's an ugly world
So I prey on what happiness, I can get
Live
I will live
I will live
DAYS OF THE WHITE OWL
The skies, swirle in a marble haze
I gaze across the land, with a sense of loss
Are we down, in the game
Do we get in
Wave the white flag, frantically
No, no, no
Where do we go now
The corporate nightmare, sprouts like weeds
As we ignore, oh so conveniently
Like a coloring book, this land
We color in, with chains of stores and homes and businesses
What have we done
No, no, no
Where do we go now
The white owl glides across the summer sun
Death lurks near, I fear for this kingdom
Abused, raped and ignored
Left to rot by the wicked sins that we cherishas progress forward
I witness, this self destruction of our race
I fear the futureand it's shaping face
I can't help but dwell, on our spiral down
What does it mean for myself, our race, and the future that we own
No, no, no
Where do we go now
PORTLAND
Temperatures rising
Sapping all the life from once thriving energies
Fearing failure
Cause of the scheme to run from our enemy
Let's look at the factors
Draw upon our excuses
In the negative mindfeild
The mind convinced, it's time to run
But isn't the enemy isn't the enemy you
you see
You run, it's back again, because you never adjusted yourself
And now, you are in new surroundings
With all of the same old shit, you know
After years of this madness
It's starting to make sense but life, is so hard
Yea, life is hard
And that you have learned
Holding on to your beliefs is noble
But we are faced with reality
Sometimes, to reach that mountain top
We must learn to bleed
So now we revisit the factors
Draw upon all that we dream of
Put aside that old ill mind
And now we breathe
OFF COME THE BLINDFOLDS
The truth, stands before you
So cold that you don't touch it
The justifications, dealt
Masking the pain you run from
Oh, and it hurts so
Where did the love go
Kids in blindfold's at play, you wake up now to the unknown
Once love, in youth so innocent
Tough love, now when the world is bent
In love, that is the missing bit
What's love, you should save your breath
The joy, it haunts you
It all but wrecks you
Knowing the truth
And your impending loss
Is your love real?
YOUR WARNING
You've give in, you've accepted
Learned to embrace the rut
The confines in which you exist
You've all but given up
Listen to me now my friend
I'm giving you, your warning
I fear for you now
That's why I've issued you, your warning
I want to see you rise to your fullest
Not cower and die
Live your life, like you own it
Because there is only so much time
Time is ticking away
It is all inside your head
Time to tap into the living
Drop that zombie front my friend
I know you have got it in you
Your warning
JEKYLL AND HYDE
In the darkness of the shadows
Lurks, another side of me
Peices you don't want to see
You gouge out your eyes
In attempt to hold me high
I'm your fear
I'm impurity
You scream sellout, and so it goes
How is that you could ever know me
You are not my friend
You only see a park of me
You don't know me
I am Jekyll
I am Hyde
And you cry
For, I am reality
You don't want to see me
I'm not your assumption
NEXT IN LINE
Can you see the fires burning bright
Just look into our eyes
We're out here
And we are coming up on you fast
Dark, you try and look away, ignore us, we wont go away
We are those who will steal the day, from you and your ignorance
We are, the next in line
So you've niched your little place, you thought it was all about you
Sorry you won't get the last laugh
We are challenging your minds, erasing idiotic rules
The walls you've built are coming down, now
We are, the next in line
We are creeping up on you
We are, the next in line
THE INVINCIBLE
Life's horrors wont sink us
Ignorant words don't phase us
If there is a chink in the armor, we hammor it out, and grow stronger from it
Sacred Love will find a way
The invincible
Sometimes I feel as if I won't survive
Numb and lost in this dreadful life
But then she's there, oh, she's there
She breathes life into me
We thrust our love out
Into the dark clouds
And when the sun breaks through
We've stood our gound
True love abound
Sacrad love will find a way
The invincible
DEAD MAN WALKING
The sun is going down on you my friend
I look around to see you
The self destructive entity
Embodied in self pity and hate
All that's left for you now is to suffocate
All I see of you now is a dead man walking
Death lurks inside of you now
Dead man walking
To the pills and needle you have bowed
Dead man walking
I'll say goodbye to you now
Dead mean walking
Make no mistake, you chose the route
You stole from your friends, lied your way around
All you were, long gone, no more
Just a junkie stands, with a hallow core
Don't you dare ever think, that this song is here
To glorify your sickness
It's for those with futures
OUT ON THE FARM
1-2-4-3 you've got your hand in torture
5-6-7-8 how does it make you feel?
The mind slips, slips, slip, slipping
Into the darkness, it is lifeless
The air is thin here and grim here
Drugged up, caged up, piled up on inhumane
Insane, so insane
Out on the farm, no happy songs
No happy songs, just torture
Devoid of feeling
Who, you or them?
A SAD HISTORY
Shackled to greatness
It's for your bet interests
nothing less but the best my dear
Dagged down this road of status by fools
There has been sickness at play, I fear
It's all been mapped out for you
Since you were a twinkle in their eyes
Unfortunatly, my dear, this is for them
Your thoughts, disregarded as petty and childish
Shut your mouth, cause your life is planned
A sad history
I will walk my own direction
Following my heart, seeing where it takes me
Strike your match, light your candle
For each and every day of your life that you don't see me
Don't burn down the house, waiting for me
JUST A VISUAL
All of you want, that pretty picture
The perfection, that illusion has got your head
Strive, strive, strive, but the image eludes your reality
On your deathbed, empty handed, it might all sink in
And as you tune out
It hits you
It was just a visual
And then it hits you
It was just a visual
EVIL
Blind me with all your lies
You're evil
I can look into your lies
You're evil
I can look into your face
You're evil
Lying all over the place
You're evil
Hey ma, run into the night
Into the night to roam
You lie you know
Those looks you give me tell that
You're evil
I hope I don't see you alive
You're evil
You, yea you
You're so evil
You're so evil
You're evil
You're evil
Hey ma, run into the night
You're a creature of destruction
Yea, you know
Into the night
Into the night to fight
Come on baby let's fight
Those looks you give me tell that
You're evil
I hope I don't fit into your plans
You're evil
You, yea you you're so evil
You're so evil you're evil
You're evil
Hey ma, run into the night
You're a creature of destruction
Yea, you know
