lyrics:
i can't seem to find my way,
out of this crazy maze,
we call it life, it's another day:
while humanity goes astray

it's the life that we thought we chose
but in the end it's always us alone
we always find a way to break down and cry:
when our plans, GO AWRY!

hoo ooh hoo ooh
plans go awry
hoo ooh hoo ooh
but don't you cry

you cry:
when your PLANS GO AWRY!!

lyrics:
heavy is the head
that speaks ill of the dead
so much sin washed away
some still stuck in the riverbed
though i know i once loved
twasn't just in my head
i'm a jealous man, i dread
so i drowned her and i fled!

there's a few tales
about that ol' Stranger
he done lost it ALL
gave in to the danger
betrayed so deep
deeper than a skinny girl's hollow
packed up and went on the run
with no set path to follow

when all was done and said
her pain did soon end
was a lover and a friend
til she met the jealous man's dread
done laid down with The Preacher
and though i tried to reach her
she now sleeps in a watery bed
victim of the jealous man's dread

every now and then i crave
to go and visit her grave
but the days all turned strange
my soul can no longer be saved
a deed once done is forever
like a piece of mouldy bread
i once was misled:
by the demons in a jealous man's dread

when all was done and said
her pain did soon end
was a lover and a friend
til she met the jealous man's dread
done laid down with The Preacher
and though i tried to reach her
she now sleeps in a watery bed
victim of the jealous man's dread!

lyrics:
hwell
i guess it was meant to be
the damage that was done to me
can never be rectified
my soul's here but my body died

it got harder to cope
when we lost all hope
the life i thought was free
got taken away from me
through The Dark Sunrise
only the Wanderers survived
can't even drink from the river!
Serenity's on fire!

with no sight nor sound
we all scattered underground
til it was clear to emerge
hidin' from the demiurge
came up with a sigh
to see the valleys on high
and the holy waters burned!
SERENITY'S ON FIRE!

you're born then you die
and always wonderin' 
why our brains feel fried

Serenity's on fire!
Serenity's on FIRE!
SERENITY!
IS!
ON!
FIRE!!!!!?!?!?

lyrics:
there's a soft spoken gal in the swamp-lands
with a face angelic as hell
she offered me salvation
and put me under a spell
a fair maiden on the outside
a demon in the middle
i regret the deal i made
when i answered her sweet riddle!

an enchantress of renown
and a lie from the ground on down
she came up from the deep
makin' an almighty sound!
the devil's right-hand girl
a dragon from the ages
i answered her damn riddle
and tore up my life's pages!

now i sit here rooted
to the foundations of the earth!
i feel its rollin' fury
as it liquefies the dirt!
Olinda wrote the terms
and i foolishly accepted
i mighta had a future
now damnation, i've perfected!

OHH THE RIDDLE!
IT DONE BURNED MY SOUL!
GODS-DAMNED RIDDLE!
TUMBLIN' DOWN INTO A HOLE!
SWEET OLINDA!
I CAN'T BLAME YOUR EVIL WAYS!
FOR THE RIDDLE IS THE ANSWER!
TO FORGET THESE DARK DAYS!!!

OHH THE RIDDLE!

lyrics:
well i thought that i might miss
all the slop, burp and piss
every day it goes like this
BUT I DON'T GIVE A HUM AND A HISS!
i done traded in my bliss
and ain't never really been kissed
got an almighty sore wrist
BUT I DON'T GIVE A HUM AND A HISS! (NAW I DON'T!)

drinkin' slop and gettin' pissed
tell your pride to get dismissed
i recommend you don't resist
COS I DON'T GIVE A HUM & A HISS!
well at times i reminisce!
with my mind and my fist
give them chicken nipples a twist
COS I DON'T GIVE A HUM & A HISS! (I SAID I DON'T!!!)

something feels amiss
in my bowl of monged-green grits
the food just never hits
BUT I DON'T GIVE A HUM AND A HISS!
the firelight it dims
on the land and all my kins
but we take it on the chins
COS WE DON'T GIVE A HUM AND A HISS!!! (HOW MANY TIMES DID I DONE TOLD YA ALREADY?!?!)

lyrics:
oh when the darkness seeks the light
when the peace now turns to fight
then the day became the night
as the sun was torn asunder
everybody was scared
to believe the lies we now shed
it all went to our heads
as the sky began to thunder!

the devil may cry
a bloody tear from his eye
an almighty blunder:
when the sun was torn asunder!

there's a flicker in my eye
when the fire filled the sky
started below and went up high
as the sun was torn asunder!
can't hide underground
to escape sight and sound
what's lost, shall be found
recoverin' from a blunder!

the hour's gettin' late
and though we've sealed our fates
forget about heaven's gate
when we're all headin' under!
THIS TOWN IS SO FAKE!
KEEP ACTIN' LIKE WE AIN'T!
WITH NO MORE TIME, WE'RE NEVER LATE!
COS THE SUN WAS TORN ASUNDER!
WOOOOO!
YEAAHHH!

THE SUN WAS TORN ASUNDER!
WAAAHHHHHHHOOOHHHHH!
YA BETTER RUN FOR YOUR LIFE CHILD!
COS THE DEVIL'S COMIN' OVER!
OOHHHH HEEEEEE!
BETTER SAVE YOURSELF WHILE YA CAN!

lyrics:
oh girl, please
are you too blind to see?
the sky done fell, and now we in hell
fakin' til we make it there

heaven closed its gates
when the phoenix sealed our fate
like a singing sphere, we're already here
lookin' for the line that's straight

can we all agree to disagree?
about the facts of reality
it's fast and slow, it's stop and go
where in the end will we go?

there's a place in the Birch trees
where a man can feel at ease
there's a time for standin' up for what's right
and a time for gettin' on your knees!

MY SOULSHADOW!
IT'S A BIG PART OF ME!

ohh, my my my

here i come!!

lyrics:
ohh ohhhhh yeeaahhhhh

i hear the sound of the river
callin' me to the deep
i see a cold dark winter
freezin' my soul to sleep
if there's one thing
one thing i know for certain
i learned how to sing
and now my back's always hurtin'

i confess i never learned
never learned how to swim
this river o' time will take you
drownin' you in the drink
all's left was a beach of death
devoid of the sea
now i spend all my time gettin' closer
closer to the dirt in me

yeah!!!

even if you're too blind to see! (GET CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)
the best things in life are free! (WHEN YOU'RE CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)
so sick of the misery! (SO GET CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)
1 & 1 & 1 is 3! (WHEN YOU'RE CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)

ohhh lawwwddd!
good god almighty!!

though my soul is in the wind
i still look for a place to begin
this life that got deleted
is the past that becomes repeated
swiggin' my bottle of burp
and yeah we carry the hurt
of the burnin' of Serenity
so GET CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!!

waooww!!!
hoo YES YES YESSSS

even if you're too blind to see! (GET CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)
the best things in life are free! (WHEN YOU'RE CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)
so sick of the misery! (SO GET CLOSER TO THE DIRT IN ME!)

lyrics:
woah ooh ohhh
what i'm talkin bout
mmhmmm

did you ever plan on scrapin'
the ground just to survive?
do ya feel your soul shakin'?
after reality died?
i keep fallin'
fallin' down in my sleep
down into a hole
that runs ever-so deep!

ohh!!

it reminds me of something
but i can't remember what
our memory has faded
ground into the dust
if there's a place we can go
to escape the rigamarole
can ya please just let me know
so i can get out of this cold!

OH!

i breathe! (i breathe!)
in a dream! (i breathe!)
out to sea! (i breathe!)
with no one left to save me!
i freeze! (i breathe!)
the unease! (i breathe!)
need to get free! (i breathe!)
from all the pain & misery!

woahh ohhh
mhmm aaaaoowww
yess yes yessss

the breath, we take
is for granted, i make
a promise, forsake
all that's left of my will & fate
i breathe, today
for tomorrow's yesterday
can't always, hold sway
even though my nerves are frayed!

AHHHHH!! ohhhhhh!!!!

my nerves are frayed!!
and shot to shit!
i cant take much, more of this!!
ohhhwooahoohohhh!

lyrics:
well the day came
and then it went
all the fortune and fame
and the money spent
could not prepare us
for the last days
the sky has darkened
into a purple haze

the summer is gone
& winter is here
the love in our hearts
is now frozen my dear

we tried so damn hard
to keep on keepin' on
but the game done changed
and we ain't even scored
my soul aches somethin' mighty!
for a chance to reform
if it ain't with YOU, my love
then i'll do it on my own!

the summer is gone
& winter is here
the love in our hearts
is now DEAD my dear!

ohh goodbye sweet sun!
farewell to the lord!
goodbye to the beauty
the soul of the world!!

ohh goodbye sweet sun!
farewell to the lord!
goodbye to the beauty
the soul of the world!!

lyrics:
sittin' in the monstrous shadows
of a machine that's gone to shit
sittin' in the monstrous shadows
of a world that sunk into The Pit
try to gather my scattered brethren
but we've all forgotten where we fit

layin' under the moonlight
cryin' over what i done lost
said i'm layin' under this moonlight
still countin' up the cost
i'm an old soul i'm told
but that ain't never helped me out

fishin' down at ol' Serenity River
but the scales and the bones have melted away
tryin' to shake off the burdens of a sinner
as i try to wade myself to a brighter day

sittin' in the monstrous shadows
of a machine that's gone to shit
sittin' in the monstrous shadows
of a world that sunk into The Pit
try to gather my scattered brethren
but we've all forgotten where we fit

yes we've all forgotten where we fit
ohhh we don't know where we fit
i can't tell you the reasons for it
i just know i don't know where we fit
