Lyrics:
And so it begins…
It’s a temporary situation
Constant rain
Redundant pain
I don’t know where
Don’t know when
Don’t know why
Don’t know why…..

Redundant Pain

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Today’s the day I end my sentence
And I’m entering a world I do not know
And I’m dreaming of a shimmer in the darkness
Will it show…I don’t know
Today’s the day they will remember
When they’re reading off the details of my life
And I do believe it’s getting somewhat better
But I don’t know…I don’t know
Today’s the day I end my sentence
And I served it so much longer than deserved
And I’m dreaming of a shimmer in the darkness
Will it show…I don’t know
Today’s the day I find my purpose
And it’s easily the hardest thing to do
And I’m dreaming of a shimmer in the darkness
Will it show…I don’t know

A Shimmer In The Darkness

Some Puppets Are Trying To Kill Me

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
A hard, hard lesson to learn
A crossroads for you and me
What a hard, hard lesson to learn
Facing down reality
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
A hard, hard lesson to learn
A crossroads for you and me
What a hard, hard lesson to learn
Facing down adversity
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
A hard, hard lesson to learn
A crossroads for you and me
What a hard, hard lesson to learn
Facing down reality
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it
Don’t stop, don’t look back
Wait for it, brace for it

The Lesson

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
I’m sick of hearing about your vicious ways
I’m sick of hearing about the dead that you raise
I’m sick and tired of the creatures you create
I’m sick of you and your vision of hate
That’s why I’m buried alive!

Buried Alive

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
I misidentified
The one that cared
I am not afraid of the fire
It’s the smoke that kills
You’re entitled
And enraged
Don’t engage in the lies
Where’s the one that cares?
I misidentified
The one that cared
And was deceived by the lies
Don’t believe them
We are blinded 
By the flames
Don’t be afraid of the fire
It’s the smoke that kills
It’s the smoke that kills
It’s the smoke that kills
I misidentified
The one that cared
I misidentified 
The one that cared

Misidentified

Lyrics:
Say goodbye my love
One more time
Last goodbye
Close your eyes my love
Treasured friend
Near the end
One last sigh
Still you lie
Pain end, dark begin
Bye my love
Say goodbye my love
Dearest friend
It’s the end
Pain end, dark begin
Bye my love
Say goodbye
Say goodbye


Dedicated to Ronnie and Sophie

Say Goodbye

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Dark horizon, cloudy day
Haunting shadows, here to stay
I’m on the outside
Silent and invisible
Wounds on the inside
Recovery improbable
Ominous warning, ominous warning
Looming trouble, on the way
Casting shadows, here to stay
I’m on the outside
Silent and invisible
Wounds on the inside
Recovery improbable
Ominous warning, ominous warning
Murky future, hazy past
Long forgotten, nothing lasts
I’m on the outside
Silent and invisible
Wounds on the inside
Recovery improbable

Ominous Warning

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Moving forward in time
But backward in my mind
And the things that you say
Aren’t productive anyway
Dissolving – every day
Imploding – fade away
Retrograde love, retrograde love, retrograde love, retrograde love
Elation fades away
And resentment’s here to stay
The path that guided us
Is now a maze of misplaced trust
Dissolving - every day
Imploding
Imploding
Retrograde love, retrograde love
Imploding – fade away
Retrograde love, retrograde love, retrograde love, retrograde love

Retrograde Love

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Beauty emerges
From the depths below
She’s mesmerizing
With a sinister glow
Captivating
Like nothing I’ve seen
Intoxicating
A sensual dream
Bound to be my doom
Beauty emerges
From the depths below
Unstoppable passion
With a villainous glow
So enthralled with you
Bound to be my doom
Beauty emerges
From the depths below

Beauty Emerges From the Depths Below

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
You’ve got a cold embrace
And I’m afraid to see you go
You’ve got a cold embrace
And I know, what I know
You’ve got a sullen face
And I’m afraid you’ve let it show
You’ve got a broken heart
And I know, and I know
You’ve escaped
You’ve got a distant gaze
And I’m afraid to let you go
You’ve got a distant gaze
And I know, what I know
You’ve got a sullen face
And I’m afraid you’ve let it show
You’ve got a broken heart
And I know, and I know
You’ve escaped
You’ve escaped

You've Escaped

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Strange communication
A cryptic vision
A truth untold
Strange communication
A new beginning
An endless road
Lost – forever
Strange communication
An unclear message
The way unknown
Strange communication
A sudden ending
A dead-end road
Lost – forever
Forever

Strange Communication

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:	
Like chains that bind
The unengaging mind
Left behind
These ever-changing times
Warning shots have been fired
The fuse has been wired
Growing uninspired
These thoughts make me tired
Fear that binds
A never changing mind
Left behind
The unengaging mind
Warning shots have been fired
The fuse has been wired
Growing uninspired
These thoughts make me tired 
Warning shots have been fired
The fuse has been wired
Growing uninspired
These thoughts make me tired

Uninspired

vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Broken hands
Calloused feet
Hardened heart
From defeat
In disguise
I will rise
From the brink
Of demise
Of demise
Of demise
Vacant eyes
Blatant lies
True to form
No surprise
In despair
Out of hope
Do you care?
Cause they don’t
Rise – Fall
Rise – Fall
Of Demise
Terrorized
Victimized
Awakened now
For reprise
In disguise
I will rise
From the brink
Of demise
Of demise
Of demise
Rise – Fall
Rise – Fall
Of demise

From The Brink Of Demise

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Falling, falling into
Stumbling, stumbling into
Something new
Something new
Floating, floating into
Falling, falling into
Love with you
Love with you
A new start
For a tired heart
Falling, falling into
Stumbling, stumbling into
Love with you
Love with you
Floating, floating into
Falling, falling into
Something new
Something new
A new start
For a worn heart

Something New

Song by The Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
What a sad way about you
And I haven’t got the energy to doubt you
I’ll live without you
Live without you
What a sad way about you
And there’s nothing left to do but live without you
I’ll live without you
Live without you
Leaving it all behind
And I’m fine
I’ll live without you
Live without you

Live Without You

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
Desire for a taste is all
Conspire to breach the burning wall  
Desire for the prize I sought
The fire creates shadows to hide my faults
Yearn...desire
Yearn…desire
Conspire for a victory
Desire for a life that’s out of reach
Deny her of my sympathy
Desire that she deny the same of me
Yearn…desire
Yearn…desire
Yearn...desire
Yearn...desire

Desire

Song by The Ginger Twins...
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Life of sorrow
And abuse
Been mistreated
And misused
Things have changed
Now I’m in charge
And you’ll remain unharmed
Life renewed
Love be true
Found you shivering
Full of fear
Clouds have parted
Skies are clear
Things have changed now
Pain be gone
And you’ll remain unharmed

Remain Unharmed

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
Will it last, escaping your past?
Time gone by
You’re still alive
Time gone by
The fear’s alive
Escaping your past
Will it last?
Escaping your past
Can it last?
A troubled past
A haunting past
I know why
You live a lie
I know why
There are things to hide
Escaping your past
Will it last?
Escaping your past
Can it last?
A troubled past
A haunting past
Escaping your past
Will it last?

Troubled Past

Song by The Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
I’m past the point of a passive approach
And I’m inclined to respond to your aggressive tone
You’re aligned with the one with the smoking gun
And you try to deny you’re the abusive one
You cry alone
You’ll die alone
We’re beyond the point of a lesson to learn
And you’re trapped in the pyre that’s about to burn
You’re allowed to pray and/or apologize
But the fire prevails and it scorches lies
You cry alone
You’ll die alone
I’m past the point of a passive approach
And I’m inclined to respond to your aggressive tone
You’re resigned to pay for your sinister ways
And yet you still deny much of the things you say
You cry alone
You’ll die alone

A Passive Approach

Song by The Ginger Twins...
vocals/synths/electric typewriter - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
There’s a phantom limb
Shaking hands with me
And a broken clock
For eternity
Have we come this far?
Is it destiny?
Or a fate of doom that’s in front of me?
Destiny – eternity – you – me 
There’s a set of paths
Straight in front of me
And a choice to make
For eternity
Having come this far
What’s my destiny?
Is my fate defeat?
Or a victory?
Destiny – eternity – you – me

March Of Fate

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
I have sacrificed
I have asked for nothing
I have seen too much
Lies have taken over you
Weakened by the weight of worry
Solitude or solitary
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
I remember – they’ve forgotten
Weakened by the state of hatred
Apathy becomes outdated
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
Took my sight, now I’ve forgotten
I am blind
I have sacrificed
I have asked for nothing
I have seen too much
Lies have taken over you
I have sacrificed
I have asked for nothing
I have seen too much
Lies have taken over you
Hidden in the waste of excess
Memories recede like progress
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
I am not sure cause I’ve forgotten
In the dark, the light defeated
A shining truth has now retreated
Blinding lies are all we’ve gotten
Took my sight now I’m forgotten
I am blind

Blind

Song by The Ginger Twins…
Psychedelic Furs cover…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love, love, love - is all of heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don’t fade
The race is on I'm on your side
And nearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
Or for running away
Stars come down in you
And love, love, love - you can't give it away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don’t fade
Don't you go
It makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love, love, love -  is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don’t fade
Drums beat time in you and I
And rain don’t fall down here no more
It’s coming down to losing me
In you

The Ghost In You

Song by The Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Alone again
No one’s waiting
No one cares
Alone again
No one worries
No one cares
Alone again
Is this living?
Is this life?
'Cause it feels like death
It feels like death
It feels like death
Alone again
No one answers
No one’s here
Gone again
No one’s coming
No one’s near
Alone again
No one’s waiting 
No one cares
It feels like death
It feels like death
It feels like death

It Feels Like Death

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
Ritualistic violence
Cold despair
Was it a crime?
Or just a pagan suicide?
A suicide
Suicide pact
A pagan suicide
A suicide
Suicide pact
Ceremonial violence
Death, despair
Was it a crime?
Or just a pagan suicide?
A suicide
Suicide pact
A pagan suicide
A suicide
Suicide pact

Pagan Suicide

Song by The Ginger Twins….
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven….

Lyrics:
Free from independent thought
Loved only by the things you’ve bought
Trained since my life began
To be the model citizen
To be the model citizen
The model citizen
Gone is any choice to make
Free from any risk to take
Programmed and retrained again
To be the model citizen
To be the model citizen
The model citizen

The Model Citizen

Song by The Ginger Twins…
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Brand new initiative
Somewhat prohibitive
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative
Like a dog fears thunder
The thumb I’m under
Brand new initiative
Somewhat prohibitive
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative
I once knew what I wanted
I pursued what I wanted
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative
Like endless hunger
The spell I’m under
I once knew what I wanted
I pursued what I wanted
Vulgar and primitive
Yet still derivative

Derivative

Song by The Ginger Twins...
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven…

Lyrics:
Shattering me
Is shattering you
Set in motion
Sentence passed
Broken hearts
Like shattered glass
Outlast
Dice cast
Will it end?
Will it end?
Bearing the burden
Of all the world’s problems
A plan set in motion
Uncertain the outcome
Will it end?
Shattering me
Is shattering you
It's over now
Never end…
Never end…
Never end…
Never end...

Shattering Me

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…
She lies awake at night
Haunted by that day
The price forever pay
Alive but dead inside
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…
Greeted by the face of truth
Can’t deny mistakes we’ve made
Defined by careless youth
Now until the grave
True regret
In this life
True regret
In this…

True Regret

Song by The Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Hidden evidence
Sees the light of day
Whispers in the wind
Blow a different way
Will true change begin?
A new reality
Did they really win?
An end to tyranny?
Revolution
Absolution
Revolution
Obsoletion
Wishful negligence
A new authority
Devoid of ignorance
Correcting you and me
Smiling new regime
Promising relief
Stoic new regime
Controlling you and me
Revolution
Absolution
Revolution
Obsoletion


Obsoletion

Song by the Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven

Lyrics:
Standing, facing the firing line
Cold hearts without a care I find
Climbing, racing a ticking clock
Path blocked – can’t reach the mountaintop 
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again and again and the sky grows dim
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
I am mistreated again
I have retreated again
Mind racing with endless thoughts
Distant memories of love and loss
Staring down at the firing line
No resolution and a truce declined
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again and again and the sky grows dim
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
I am mistreated again
I have retreated again
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
Yet again


Yet Again

Song by the Ginger Twins…

Lyrics:
There’s something amiss
There’s something not right
There’s something amiss
There’s something not…
Why should it be this way?
Clear as a cloudy day
Piece of the puzzle appears
Run…it’s the worst of fears
There’s something amiss
There’s something not right
Fear…lives
There’s something amiss
There’s something not…
Why does it end this way?
Dark as a stormy day
There’s something amiss
There's something amiss

Something Amiss

Song by the Ginger Twins
vocals/synths - Brian Beethoven 

Lyrics:
Help – it’s gonna take me down
Way – it’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Hey – it’s gonna break me down
Way – it’s gonna break me way down, down, down, down
Stay until the morning comes
Stay until it comes
Wait until the morning comes
Wait until it comes
Help – it’s gonna take me down
Way – it’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Help – it’s gonna take me down
Way – it’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Stay until the morning comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
Stay until it comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
Wait until the morning comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
Wait until it comes [It’s gonna take me down, down, down down]
It’s gonna take me way down, down, down, down
Way down, down, down, down,
It’s gonna take me down
