Dark Lorde

The sky
Above your head
Has turned
The color of the darkest red
The people
On the ground
Don't move
They don't seem to make a sound
The earth
Beneath your feet
Has opened
Now the dark lord you shall meet
Descending down
The lake of fire is burning bright
As you walk through the heart of eternal night
Never again to return to the light
That's when you start to burn
And you're quick to learn
Fire was always in your soul
And heaven must be mighty cold
As above so below
Into the darkness you must go
It was in the depths that you were born
Of cloven hoof and bone white horn
The lake of fire is burning bright
As you walk through the heart of eternal night
Never again to return to the light

They've Come Again
03:32
|
|||
|
Emerging from the atmosphere
Striking human hearts with fear
They've come again to colonize
The world before our very eyes
The ancient texts did prophesize
The coming of our own demise
The final day is here at last
In boiling lakes our fate is cast
If we had only read the signs
Too late now we can't rewind
If we could only stand and fight
Try to stop the emerging night
First they seize the government
Doling out the harshest punishment
Track our movements through the screens
Shoot us full of lazer beams
It's not too late
To save humanity
You gotta join the opposition
Stake out your position
The facts they state
Are nothing but profanity
You gotta see through the emerging lies
Only believe in your own eyes

Hey!
Won't you come by tonight
Help me take on the night
I am so very bored
You got what I'm looking for
Today!
The shit hit the fan
I I gotta make a plan
To blow out of this place
End my state of grace
Redemption comes in the night
With plenty of smoke and swirling lights
Slap on your leather pants
Meet me at the rock and roll dance

A Better Place
02:23
|
|||
|
It's a long way between here and the next place
And I can't see the road anymore
Night came on and rain started to fall
When you walked out that door
And I gotta believe
There's a better place somewhere
With sun and open skies
A place where I can breath some air
I rest my head down
On the gentle ground
With eyes open wide
Waiting for you to come around
But you didn't want to follow me down into the darkness
Your words in my head
The lights of oncoming cars
The rain pounding down
The dead coming out the ground
I gotta believe theres a better place somewhere
Full of auburn light
The color of your hair
But you didn't want to follow me down into the darkness

If Not Here Where
02:07
|

|
Everyday I justify
All the little alibis
To help me through the day
But lately they're all looking pale
So I'm setting sail to catch a whale
With an albatross around my neck
If not now when
If not here where
The call I've heard you've heard it too
It comes out there from behind the blue
It calls you by the name
You can fill your ears full of wax
You can turn your face and show your back
But it's shadow keeps following you
If not now when
If not here where
You're days are numbered 1 2 3
This 'aint no time to let it be
You gotta stand before you fall
Wipe that dirt up off your face
Pick up your meager pace
It's time to show them all
Now the wheels begin to turn
There's a lesson yet you have to learn
It's waiting o'er the hill
A life like this is without a price
So go ahead and roll that dice
Or else you'll be swallowing pills
If not now when
If not here where
If not now when
If not here where

Won't rewind
Can't rewind
Won't rewind
Can't rewind
Won't rewind
Can't rewind
And no joke the fast forward's broke
Can't slow down
Won't slow down
Can't slow down
Won't slow down
Can't slow down
Won't slow down
And no shit the brake cable's clipped
Fall in line
Or free fall
Fall in line
Or free fall
Fall in line
Or free fall
There's no parachute and no excuse
Don't you understand this is the end
There's no reason left to pretend
Nothing's going to make it ok
To curse the night and praise the day (x3)

Zinester's Lament
02:04
|
|||
|
In the old days we rode together
Cigarettes clenched in our grins
We'd hold up in the basement
Writing while sipping our gin
We were meant for better things
Than the narrow streets of this town
Always letting us down
But you my old friend
How I'd like to see you again
The hours were endless so we killed them
We killed them the best that we could
At punk shows and kinkos copying tracts
Tracts for the misunderstood
We were never understood
Always up to no good
Around the neighborhood
And we're no good
But you my old friend
How I'd like to see you again
You my old friend
How I'd like to see you again

The Trial
02:29
|
|||
|
The day they put the king on trial
I set out before the sun
Just to reach that holy grove
Where the rope from the gallows hung
The autumn air smelt of fire
As the trumpets broke the calm
We gathered round to sing and dance
And wait for the monarch's fall
There's only so much
A people can take
We'll pound the drum and sound the fife
While the king does the hempen jig
The moment the crown falls in the dirt
Will be the start of the jubilee
An end to the suffering of the poor
A raid on the debtor's jail
Tonight we sleep in a kingdom that's ours
And we'll rise with a righteous wail
There's only so much
A people can take
They took our sons and sent them to
A war that never ends
They stole our fields to rent them back
And grew fat on the dividends
But the common cause has made us strong
The giant sleeps no more
Today's the day we raise our heads
And settle the ancient score
There's only so much
A people can take

Sir!
Our guidance is off
I think we're really lost
Things are appearing here and there
And we're being shifted
To who knows where
Who knows where
Now we're on the surface
How the hell did we get here
It seems we need to plead a case
For the worth of humanity
Where is my number one
Give me back my number one
So she may be a chosen one
One of your omnipotent race
That doesn't mean she's under your thumb
So please just give her some space
Where is my number one
Give me back my number one
