Take off your head and assimilate
Please cautious child
Standing tall on a river of bones
Skipping stones o’er flowers of freedom
We are your suicide
We are your last call queens
Sensations
Sensations
Sensations

Beware You Are
02:31
|
|

|
Behold the fearful marching home
Beware you are the constable
Create the enigmatic folds
To eliminate the robotic flies
Paint the past with lightning bolts
Paint the past with lightning bolts
Raise the stillborn alien forms
Let them cultivate a plastic heart
A box with which we persevere
A wall that traps the insincere
Paint the past with lightning bolts
Paint the past with lightning bolts
Beware you are when you're not here
Beware you are full of fear

Blessed is the flesh and blood
Blessed is the broken home
Blessed is the widow’s toil
Blessed is the path we take alone
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Blessed is the shame of hope
Blessed is the beggar’s voice
Blessed is the trail of tears
Blessed is the path we take alone
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Blessed is what never was
Blessed is that one true love
Blessed is the wayward son
Blessed is the path we take alone
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony
Flesh and blood in symphony

Elephant & The Dove

We're gonna be the greatest twist
Swinging from the sun
Bleeding from our hips
Let's watch the sky fall
Let's pray for fame
I'm just your wild boy
And you my savage dream
We're gonna be the greatest twist
As the dreamer dreams
The maker steals a kiss
The elephant and the dove
Dancing, dancing, dancing alone
Let's watch the sky fall
Let's play for fame
I'm just your wild boy
And you my savage dream
The elephant and the dove
The elephant and the dove

Cult of Children
02:52
|
|
||
|
Death in the underground...
and so I walked beyond
the marbled gate of enchantment
followed by a mist of exhaust
and a limp handshake from god himself
treachery and chaos explode
from the benevolent creatures
filling the cave with echoes of applause
and mindless confessions
set me free and let me die in peace
atop the razed kingdom of artifice and emotion
alone at the edge of the world
the midday bells cleared a path of freedom
and the untimely death of this cult of children
...death in the underground.

White Roses
03:11
|
|
||
|
A symphony of silence
A mysterious extinction of light
Those good lies and drive-bys
Soaked up by brazen heroes at night
A village free of science
A godless trench inside us
Orchestrated chaos begins
White roses

Metonymic
02:07
|
|
||
|
Fit the priest with golden hooves
And silence at the core
Pull the strings on the death's head
Favor the unborn
There's a big nothing
A skeleton prize
Come see the non-believers
Come and twist their lies
We are the dead and gone
We are the dead and gone
We are
the dead
and gone.

Songs of Praise
02:56
|
|
||
|
We're singing songs of praise
To please the overlord
We're singing songs of praise in spite
Stitched up in radio waves
To seize the bottled light
We're singing songs of praise in spite
Dancing on soldiers' graves
That we might steal their eyes
We're singing songs of praise in spite
Igniting cancer's haze
Spiral rain melts ancient ways
We're singing songs of praise in spite
Submerged in cathartic rage
Prelude to windowless sleep
We're singing songs of praise in spite
Evil cries that the brain obeys
And commits to memory
We're singing songs of praise in spite

Thieves in Law
02:27
|
|
||
|
Come claim your silhouette
And ghostly hope
And favors from the mountain tops
Inside those twisted tones
Take it...undercover
Like thieves in law
Like thieves in law
Save your spit for a darker day
Where consequence knows nothing
Of the secrets stitched inside your legs
Take it...undercover
Like thieves in law
Like thieves in law
Build a hole for the masquerade:
The March of Flames
And signal when you can't make no more
Take it...undercover
Like thieves in law
Like thieves in law
