Chains

Words so sweet, dripping softly in my ear
Spells, telling me what I wanted to hear
Lying straight-faced, Smiling disgrace
Together we could make a difference
Make the world a better place
Steal from the rich, Steal again from the poor
Your pawn no more!
I see what’s been missing
Found me a new vision
I’m free from your prison
You can keep your golden chains
I became a willing partner in your crime
Lost, inside the darkness between your rhymes
Dogma, jargon, psycho sermons
Al meant to hold and bind me tightly
Keep me marching at your side
You can keep all of those
Dirty, nasty, twisted little chains
They’re gonna break away, Break away
The veil has ripped, showing all you try to hide
Flames crack you wide open, burnt from inside
Viper hissing, Venom dripping
Black poison that you always fed me
Kept me weary, Kept me weak!

Take Five On Man

Gotta toast to the old ones who came a long, long way
And drove the ark that brought the spark
Made us what we are today
Broke through the sky in a fireball
Crashed into a boiling sea
Planetary kamikazes planting the seed
Rise again, Rise again from the ashes
Kingdoms fall and ages pass us
Rise again, Rise again from the ashes
Egypt buried in the sand
Rise again, Rise again from the ashes
Older seas swallowed Atlantis
Rise again, Rise again from the ashes
Take Five on Man
Shooting through the black
Screaming fiery tail, Piercing through the veil
No point looking back
Crash landing down below, Nowhere else we can go
This blue rock is now home!
Lift em high for our ancestors
Who fell out of the void
And sliced through stones with magic tones and
Stacked them up like children’s toys
Frequency and amplitude
Secret weapon / Source of joy
Celestial wizards
First ones to bring the noise
Tonight I drink to the ancients
Grandparents of us all
To the angels and the demons
In the paintings on the cave wall
And if this leaves your head spinning
It’s for a damned good cause
Galactic insurgents
Removed our scales and claws

All That We Have

Across the mountains
Across the sea
Lies a future that we’ll never meet
Choices stare us down
Make us defend our ground
What’s the alternative that we need?
Too much knowledge stains
It drives me insane
Crying is all that I can do sometimes
But old-time hopes and dreams
These floods of memories
Remind me of all that we have gained
We have journeyed far
We have kissed the stars
Conquered mountains, Vanquished foes
We have journeyed far
We have kissed the stars
All with just a little hope
Through these valleys
These winding highways
They lead us far from all we’ve ever known
Paths we do not take
They cary their own weight
And our minds never let them leave home

Like Fire
05:34

From deepest deserts, the species sprung
From the fertile crescent into the burning sun
Spread Like Fire
hunt and consume
Running like wolves chasing the moon
Until one day far off in the distance
The first war drums sound
Some other tribe from across the river
Wants the food, the fire, the high ground
Have we learned nothing from blood and greed?
How many will you bury? How many can we feed?
How many can we feed?
In tiny seconds, we devolve
Turn from the keepers into the animals
Burning Like Fire, inside your veins
Thunder in your chest, head full of rage
Until the pressure breaks down the barriers
Weak circuits overload
Too hot, too fast, too much, Unrelenting
And then the bomb explodes
Still we have learned nothing
No matter how we bleed
Until we’re easier to bury than we are to feed
Easier to burn than to feed
