Why do we stay in the womb?
Why do we provide punishment to our weak hearts?
Our star wouldn't allow, wouldn't allow
Our planet wouldn't allow, wouldn't allow
The pulse of veins in the Earth flowing
Faint, faint pulse
Of the heart leading to death
The weak life returns to the planet
Is it necessary to sacrifice the soul?
Why do we stay in the womb?
Why do we beg for forgiveness?
In the fateful Earth?
~~~~~
Wake from your sleep,
My children, your childhood years are gone,
Wake from your sleep,
Fated children, your rest is gone,
Arise!
Search!
Go the the true garden,
The garden of spring's truth,
With fiery truth burn the evils of this world,
With fiery truth light the darkness of the world,
Farewell children,
The day has died.
~~~~~
Oh Maria!
Oh Maria!
How I long to be with you!
Oh my hero, so far away now.
Will I ever see your smile?
Love goes away, like night into day.
It's just a fading dream.
I'm the darkness, you're the stars.
Our love is brighter than the sun.
For eternity, for me there can be,
Only you, my chosen one...
Must I forget you? Our solemn promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring?
What shall I do? I'm lost without you.
Speak to me once more!
We must part now, my life goes on.
But my heart won't give you up.
Ere I walk away, let me hear you say
I meant as much to you....
So gently, you touched my heart.
I will be forever yours.
Come what may, I won't age a day,
I'll wait for you, always...
~~~~~
I don't want to be crippled and cracked,
Shoulders, wrists, knees and back,
Ground to dust and ash,
Crawling on all fours.
When you've got to feel it in your bones,
When you've got to feel it in your bones,
Now I can't climb the stairs,
Pieces missing everywhere,
Prozac painkillers,
When you've got to feel it in your bones,
When you've got to feel it in your bones,
And I used to fly like Peter Pan,
All the children flew when I touched their hands,
When you've got to feel it in your bones,
When you've got to feel it in your bones..
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home saying
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
But still
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?
It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection
No love injection
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon,
It's only forever
It's not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground
"My lungs taste the air of Time,
Blown past falling sands..."
~~~~~
Do you wrestle with dreams?
Do you contend with shadows?
Do you move in a kind of sleep?
Time has slipped away.
Your life is stolen.
You tarried with trifles,
Victim of your folly.
~Dirge for Jamis
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed,
the lips acquire stains.
The stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
~The Mentat Mantra
