I think I'll begin where the end has no nameI think I will write what you cannot say
To be lost for words in a world of doubt
Silence speaks volumes
Just because you hear doesn't mean you listen
Just because speak doesn't mean you know
The truth always lies in between all the lines
You are not your own Your being played
Dancin' on a string in the Masquerade of the Macabre
It will never be farther than where it dwells
Not quite Heaven but almost Hell
Their thoughts will remain forever unknown
Because madness makes a house a home
Give them all a piece of your mind
And they will take it all just to leave you blind
But never loose yourself or let your spirit fade
Never be a prop in the Masquerade of the Macabre
Then someone came and stole their land
Only to return it with blood on their hands
Blood will spill for the need of oil
Will the Earth start to shake and the waters boil
Man will become the dinosaur just to quench his need for more, more, more
Is it not for you do you feel betrayed?
Walk away from the Masquerade of the Macabre
2. Blue Jam Sammich
Instrumental3. Life Left Behind
Work my life awaytryin' to get ahead
trying to climb that ladder
have to move on up
don't have time to live
have to get that raise
don't you get in my way, buddy
We're all in search of something more but it's so hard to find
So far removed from our own world no wonder we're all blind to the fact
that the best life for our kind is the one we've left behind
Live you life authentically if you're so inclined
Reclaim your own culture and liberate your mind
The best life for our kind is the one we've left behind
Work is who you are;
your whole identity
Better jump on it
Your status is at stake
Exist without experience;
live without life
'cause the money's all that matters anyway
We're all in search of something more but it's so hard to find
So far removed from our own world no wonder we're all blind to the fact
that the best life for our kind is the one we've left behind
Live you life authentically if you're so inclined
Reclaim your own culture and liberate your mind
The best life for our kind is the one we've left behind
Repeat
Better not think or you might wake up
better swallow your pill or you might go mad
Better not think or you might wake up
better swallow your pill or you might go mad
4. The Burning Circus Tent
Instrumental5. Geoparasitism
Profit motive, power tripshumans in corruption's grip
Amputated defunct tribes
Misspent knowledge, ecocide
Born within this culture's fickle heart
how can one exist and not take part?
Voice outnumbered , feel encumbered,
must not concede
Reaper grins, the vultures circle high
Time to shake our fists and raise a cry
Is it in vain? World gone insane.
How shall it end?
Liquidating Earth's assets
Spin the cylinder, place your bet
So now blithely live your dream
while the tempest gathers steam
Life will outlive man by far
but Earth will always bear our scar
Born within this culture's fickle heart
how can one exist and not take part?
Voice outnumbered , feel encumbered,
must not concede
Reaper grins, the vultures circle high
Time to shake our fists and raise a cry
Is it in vain? World gone insane.
How shall it end?
6. Amethyste
Instrumental7. Hideously Mutated Life
A laboratory scene the whirring of machinesThe splicing of the genes modifying living beings
A chromosome injection for visual perfection
And it passes our inspection in the produce section
Hideously Mutated Life (4x)
All kinds of toxic waste in our rivers, streams, and lakes
All these life forms in its wake can they all regenerate
The mutagens they leak into the ground they seep
Warping genes within gametes spawning wicked mutant freaks
Hideously Mutated Life (4x)
Shielded from the breeze at seventy degrees
Medicating every sneeze the apathy disease
Chop down what's beneficial build a world that's artificial
live a life that's superficial inauthentic yet official
Hideously Mutated Life (4x)
8. Soma Holiday
Destiny is not for me, I live like I'm a slaveEach minute planned on demand until I reach my grave
But a gramme is better than a damn, that's what I always say
When I get home I'm going on a Soma Holiday. A Soma Holiday
Medicate your problems and they're sure to go away
Nothing is a bother on a Soma Holiday
Modern life is taxing, you could die just from the stress;
if it weren't for Soma life would be a horrid mess
We're nothing but a bunch of basket cases to be sure
but name your neurosis and the industry will cure
I'll sell my waking life and that's a fair price to pay
for blasting off to bliss on a Soma Holiday. Soma Holiday
Reality is badly overrate anyway. I'd rather watch a swirl of sparkles whisk it all way
I hope that Heaven feels just like a Soma Holiday
Little Billy's out alone with lots of time to kill
and he's discovered vandalism's such a joyous thrill
Throwing rocks through windows and other petty crimes
he'll graduate to bigger transgressions in due time
Billy where's your mom and dad? What do you think they'd say?
Dad left town and mommy's on a Soma Holiday. A Soma Holiday
Parenting is badly overrate anyway Perhaps the kids will raise themselves, perhaps they'll run away
What's the difference when your on a Soma Holiday
A Soma Holiday
9. Key to the Universe
Stars we see at night are light from eons pastmatter changes constantly to energy
Will our structured minds ever grasp
the harmonic balance of entropy?
Great marvels reside inside the human mind
but our knowledge of the universe is tattered.
We've learned so much yet we remain blind
our view is obscured by dark matter.
For every great mystery there lies an answer.
There are no true anomalies.
But as globalization spreads like a cancer
we know not who holds the key.
Metal spider probes are our window into space
They who know no god map His creations.
The atmosphere destroyed by the human race;
laid to waste as we construct space stations.
Interstellar travel still lies beyond our reach;
space itself we must learn how to bend
The world could be destroyed by laws of nature breached
Will the means be justified by The End?
The mysteries of life may lie beyond the stars
Dogmas for which mankind is not prepared.
Enlightenment is not won by way of fighting wars;
we can't progress until we learn to care.
10. The Senders
In the midst of the multitudes born into servitudeto the machine, this demon, swallow you whole
Complacent complicity, been trained since our infancy
all eyes on the screen, tool of behavior control
Like pigs ot the slaughter we are corporate fodder
follow their trends and throw your essence away
It's like treading water, it gets harder & harder
If you want to stay in, you'll have to buy what they say
Made to feel less to keep us trapped in this mess
We're cutting all of our ties to our natural state
Truly obsessed in this impossible quest
to believe in the lie will surely seal your fate
Now we're wasting our primes working forced overtime
& buying more & more thing to try to fill in the hole,
Standing in line and branded like bovine,
as empty as this life feels, there's still no room for a soul
