Saigon Moment
03:54
|
|||
What’s the time?
The time is now
To feast upon your sacred cow
Everyday a blind eye turned
There’s nothing to see here
One more Saigon moment
To piss it all away
To the table the fable
Is brought and bought and then it’s sold
Ashes thrown into the air
Where it falls nobody cares
Black and white, an absence of gray
In every word that you say
One more Saigon moment
To piss it all away
To the table the fable
Is brought and bought and then it’s sold
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again

Above All Things
04:15
|

Of all the things that I have done
Nothing could compare to this
Nothing seems familiar anymore
In one motion lost and found
There you are above all things
Quietly I find my place
Of all the highs that I have reached
Everything looks up to this
Nothing seems familiar anymore
In one motion lost and found
There you are above all things
Quietly I find my place
Of all the things that I have done
There you are above all things
Mother please
Can you see what I see now
What makes me so proud
There you are above all things
Quietly I find my place
Of all the things that I have done
There you are above all things
In one motion lost and found
In one motion lost and found
In one motion lost and found
In one motion lost and found

Catacomb Satellite
03:50
|
|||
Hands untied
Unity via satellite
Living lies
Coincide with a heavy hand
A faceless affliction high
To silence the drone
Better the devil you know
Than the devil you don’t
You don’t know
Come alive
Deep inside your catacombs
Fill the hole with something new
Something unknown
A faceless affliction high
To silence the drone
Better the devil you know
Than the devil you don’t
You don’t know
We come alive
We come alive
We come alive
A faceless affliction high
To silence the drone
Better the devil you know
Than the devil you don’t
You don’t know
Come alive
Come alive
Come alive
Come alive
We come alive

Like Castles
04:33
|
|||
Mingle at the ghost town parade
Find it hard to just walk away
Try to hide away from the sun - to no avail
Beating down on your back until you feel
Alive
Like castles in the air
The wind’s just right to take me there
Gravity, my home
Slow and steady wins the rat race
Finish with a hand grenade
Moving on and on until we find the end
Living like it’s your last night
Alive
Like castles in the air
The wind’s just right to take me there
Gravity, my home
Like castles in the air
The wind’s just right to take me there
Gravity, my home
Moving on
Moving on and on
Moving on
Moving on and on

The Riot Act
05:06
|
|||
Recollect the taste of your own medicine
Your last day in the sun is here
Reveal the closet griever
I am my brother’s keeper
Married to the secrecy
A glorified lip reader
Superstitions are fed
The riot act is read
Caution is thrown to the wind
Darken my door again
Present it as a godsend
Deep end free fall
Oblivion and a line in the sand
Sleeping soundly in the lap of the gods
Reveal the closet griever
I am my brother’s keeper
Married to the secrecy
A glorified lip reader
Superstitions are fed
The riot act is read
Caution is thrown to the wind
Darken my door again
Present it as a godsend
Deep end free fall

Crash Test
06:03
|
|||
When the skeptic is haunted
By a ghost of a chance
Put your eyes to the road
And make other plans
Drawing the curtains to shine a light
On something real
It will tell you what you need to hear
Crash test in progress
Constantly yearning
Never learning a thing
Red letter days
Few and far between
The silent and the dead
A still tongue keeps a wise head
Will you find your way
Across this burning bridge
Crash test in progress
Trapped behind the wheel
Someone is coming
The engine is running
You know just what to do
