lyrics:
swelter in the shade
with all that remains
of your broken kin
feel it break through your skin!
a modicum of hope
is far too much to bear
the animals stare
smellin' the dread in the air!

with no heroes to lead
we all followed The Stranger
enamoured with his darkness
and kissed by the danger
from all we know
he got lost in The Thick
delirious and close to death
the revelation hit his head like a brick!

oh murder be thy home
only got time left to roam
with a heart now made of stone
we fell, but we were THROWN!

YEAH!!

we stood so close to the FIRE
and lived to tell the TALE
ain't no use gettin' any HIGHER
the line of man was doomed to FAIL
fair enough, that's what they told him
that ol' Stranger had to groan
keep your stupid fucking advice
cos we FELL, BUT WE WERE THROOOOOWWWWWWWN!!!

his tale is told plenty
from far and wide
they take the pilgrimage to Serenity
where The Stranger died
baptise themselves asunder
expectin' to be shown
the path to forever:

WE FELL, BUT WE WERE THROWN!

lyrics:
a savage time has begun
when the devil darkened the sun
we begged god for a small reprieve
instead we live the way of the gun
no time left to have fun
music's all that we got left
livin' life so dang bereft
succumbed to the way of the gun!

no sacred time or place
left for us to waste
our precious life with haste
but i just can't feel my face
as wise as a clever pun
and with a heart that weighs a ton
our battles can still be won
as we keep livin' the way of the gun!

the old is now the new
when the many became the few
forget that setting sun
go on and hold your gun
i care not of thy sins
just tryin to find a way to begin
the healers time is done
now we LIVE THE WAY OF THE GUN!

ohh the gun!
it splinters!
everything it touches!
yeah that gun!
it glimmers!
in the light of a dark sun!
hooo i can't take!
another day!
pretending to have some fun!
the love's gone!
gone astray!
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS THE WAY OF THE GUN!
 
that gun...
is the way...of life
...in these dark days...and times
in the absence...of the sun...
...we worship:
the way...of the gun.

lyrics:
gimme pain, gimme shelter
from the rain and the swelter
it stings as it falls
blinds my eyes through The Fog
gimme love, gimme hate
as the earth sealed our fate
through these hallowed halls
the Wanderers evolved

a sufferin' ol' time
has come to us all
we used to be appalled
now we live among the smog
a fellers might is tested
when he's forced to duck and crawl
runnin' from the infected
hidin' in these hallowed halls!

careful of your thoughts
on these Dark Southern plains
the machines might all be gone
but they can still read your brains!
they say that we create
our own rise and fall
still i don't give a FUCK
stuck in these hallowed halls!
 
wish i could recall
the time of the fall
Wanderin' so far
through these hallowed halls
the battle lines were drawn
as the sun began to fall!
nevermind it all
crawlin' through these hallowed halls!

lyrics:
the tome it does speak
of a man strong and mighty
descended upon the meek
to free them of anxiety
casting off the yolk
and freeing their minds
the world is a lie
so stop being so blind

amnesiac souls
they fly and flutter
as the butterfly roams
they called him The Usher
with a part to play
for good or for bad
a wayward soul will say:
c'mon don't be so sad

woah-oh he's headed toward his fate
through a rusty golden gate
doin' penance for his crimes
from a whole 'nother lifetime
set upon the people
he was meant to be their Father
unsure of his place:
so goes The Wayward Tome Of The Usher!

the remnants of the world
don't matter so much in the end
gotta make do with what you got
but sometimes you need a friend
The Usher had Nobody
to help him on his quest
along the path to redemption:
with a heart beatin' in his chest!

lyrics:
a river of sludge
a mountain of ooze
The Primordium
will give you the blues
infinite woe
and imminent danger
you don't belong
but you ain't a stranger

yeaahh
the foulest of beasts
with man not yet born
ruled the earth
with bloodlust and scorn
the old gods
they plundered and wove
their own demise
into dust and bone

oh woahh
this can't go on
the world is savage
reason is gone
nowhere to hide
no pleasant song
it'll grind you down
to dust & bone

dust & bone
is a curse
when you're livin'
in a hearse!
The Primordium
it exerts!
so much PAIN
it forever hurts!
 
oh woahh
this can't go on
the world is savage
reason is gone
nowhere to hide
no pleasant song
it'll grind you down
to dust & bone

ohhh dust and bone!
that's all we are to them!
dust and motherfuckin' bone, child!
ohhh LORD!

lyrics:
well i know
that times are harder
ain't no room
for dreamers and lovers
in my heart
i dream of an answer
to this gloom
this soul cancer

the devil
he likes to party
but he don't know
that i'm a good dancer
Old Jack Swing
is never tardy
to strike a blow
to this soul cancer

oh lord
i'ma play somethin' for ya now

hoooo 
sho sounds good...to me

in another life
before i died
i was a man
who played guitar, sir
now in a new place
i learn with haste
no longer must i live with a
SOUL CANCER!

oh...feel so...FREE

there's a glow
in this new place
where i can play
all night and all day
the trees don't burn
life is pampered
now i'm free
from the soul cancer!

lyrics:
the quakin' fault lines
were the sign of the times
it done broke our spirits
with no reason nor rhyme
it's harder than you can reckon
to make the pieces whole
of a shattered existence
this life sure takes a toll

ohh yeah

how did we get it so wrong?
the ending of our world
and the parts we all play on the stage
every boy and every girl
there's a lingering vague notion
whispered through the burnt pines
that reality's a game, lord
and we played it on the fault lines!

with so much buried and gone
we longed for a home
the Wanderers all roam
singin' sweet, sad songs
i shed a bloody tear
for the souls lost to time
victim of the angry earth
we were torn at the fault lines!!!

woaahhh!

the cadence of our world
was lost in the blink of an eye
disrupted our SOULS
set our hearts on fire
alls we got left
is to tell the story in rhymes
how the remnants cheated DEATH
and ESCAPED from the fault lines!!

whooooo!

ohh lord lord lord hold on!
to my soul soul soul or it's gone!
ohh my sweet lord love me twice!
save us all from the fault lines!

with so much buried and gone
we longed for a home
the Wanderers all roam
singin' sweet, sad songs
i shed a bloody tear
for the souls lost to time
victim of the angry earth
we were torn at the fault lines!!!

woaahhh!

(((ooh ooh ooh)))
ohh the fault lines!
(((whoo ooh ooh)))
yeahh the fault lines!
(((yeah yeah yeah)))
never feelin' fine!
(((no no no)))
don't step on the fault lines!

lyrics:
it's a tough old race
to that finish line
we're all headed to the same place
while sippin' that monged-green wine
friendships they fall to the wayside
although we hold onto some
the remnants of the past prevail:
bringin' back the old Kingdom

whoo hoo hoo
woah ooh woah
da da dee doo
hmm mmm

the old is always the new
just wrapped up in a different skin
when The Kingdom was all we knew
we lived a life devoid of sin
the better part of valor
has sunk deep down within
waitin' for an awakening
to let truth and love begin!

sing it now!

whoo hoo hoo
woah ooh woah
da da dee doo
hmm mmm

the dragons breathed their last flames
as The Kingdom of man arose
tamed their devilish ways
as they disappeared to parts unknown
we still remember the past
The Primordium was unforgivin'
but now we are FREE at last
to build our OWN Kingdom of heaven!

yessss!

lyrics:
blow out the final candle
on a dying old world
a darkness done fell
on every boy and girl
they say the path of a sinner
is the only way out
followin' a muddy path
in the deep wilds of The South

go read your solemn scripture
it sure don't bother me none
lost all hope in the Winter
through the darkening of the sun
a harsher land there ain't
hear the Wanderers wail and shout
humanity is keepin' on
in the deserts of The South

woaahh cover up your MOUTH! (mouth!)
cos the devil can hear ya breathin! (ohh!)
make your peace down in The South! (the south!)
while you're hollerin' and bleedin'! (ooh!)
not even a wayward cloud! (no!)
can dampen your being!
cos when you're livin' in The South! (south!):
YOU DAMN WELL STOP BELIEVIN'!!

YEAH!

lyrics:
boil the billy
and let it steam
throw in the root
into a liquid dream
a sip of heaven
can change your mind
make you forget
everything we left behind

how smooth the darkness
feel it in your soul
pourin' down the well
so dank and cold
strike a match, boy
if you can find
the holy waters
that we left behind

i suffered a-plenty
at the hands of god
now sweet Serenity
helps clear the fog
awaitin' the rapture!
to scoop away mankind
we need a saviour
that won't leave us all behind!

the shore is callin'
time to wade on out
to start the cookin'
in the twilight of The South
the lord is a faker!
with an uncouth mind!
how dare the maker!
leave us all the HELL behind!?

wooo!
