Lyrics
Death Rattle
Master Of None
Free-think, freewill
Escape the crooked game
Bail from familiarity
Leave mundane all the same
Explore the unseen
Embrace what's to be
Unrestrained behaviour
In this course of discovery
Breathe deep and plunge
Drop out of life alone
Blind to what's beyond
Dive head-first to the unknown
Launch against the current
Brave the risk and glide
Leap from the precipice
Breeze the flow and sun a guide
Non-linearity
Non-conforming spline
Asymmetry and randomness
Chaotic design
Beauty in disorder
As the crashing wave
Throw down your shackles
No more a slave
Trust in your judgement
Strive and overcome
Cut and run, master of none
Smash the equilibrium
Go your own alone
Cross the divide
Destroy your identity
Social suicide
Not one to follow
Forgotten and cast aside
Think for yourself
It's just a ride
Chaotic cyclone
Swallows to consume
Down to the ocean bed
This vast expanse a tomb
Cheyne Stoking
Post terror and trauma
These senses awoken
Lifeless and limp
Be still in that moment
Crippled and broken
Breath nevermore
Edge of mortality
Distance to the fore
Journey to the threshold
Heal in the divide
Transient sentience
The mind's eye inside
Relive a whole existence
And see beyond sight
Reach the point of no return
Go toward the light
Body begins to close
A lifetime alone
Brief limbo that lasts
Open to the unknown
Riding consciousness
Through to the last gasp
Grip and clasp the cusp
For this too shall pass
A thunder clap as all nerve endings fire
Memory and imagination intertwine
Warm rush lifts from this mortal shell
Separate from the physical plane
Enter fortune spiral memory
Bask in the warmth of the transcendental light
Breach the boundary and commit to the eternal
Acceptance of the everlasting
Resolute fatality
Experience all simultaneously
Sensations beyond the spectrum
Synaesthesia sets my senses ablaze
Reliving every enduring memory
Bad Trip
You were
Like no other
Philosopher, brother
Out to discover
The singularity
Science and prophecy
Snatched away by
The same curiosity
A wise whole soul
To all those who know
Jester to the rest
But rode at your own tempo
Your introspection
Gifted this wisdom
The life of all
Ultimate freedom
Devoting time to find
That we are all one mind
My cosmos copilot
Comforting, warm, and kind
Chemical pioneer
Voyage, a new frontier
A melding of minds
It's getting crowded in here
Welcome humble trait
Warmth you radiate
But exploration
Did mark your fate
Virtues of Alon
Knowledge, expression
This inexplicable
Phenomenon
A lasting legacy in tone
An honour to connect by chance
Forever to reflect alone
In uninterrupted silence
Taken in your prime
Gone before your time to Israel
Taken in your prime
Gone before your time
Melatone
Gut my roots from the ground
Every nerve and vein
Carrion strewn asunder
Across this barren plane
Raw scorched earth where
Deep scars are carved
This soil dry and dead
Dehydrate and starve
Flow channels of this vessel
The fabric of existence
Causality from extensive
Exhaustive examination
Lose focus and unground
Forsake salvation
Awake the senses in deprivation
Break the ties that bind
Heavy weight sleep state
Madness frees the mind
Unearth my all
So that I may see
Unbalance, act
Liberate me
Salt Of The Earth
Dried and buried salt of the earth
Sun beats down on this barren hell
Cracks form and split the ground
Hardened skin, tough leather, and shell
Raw flesh, harsh laid bare
Steaming sweat from dawn until dusk
Carrion and remains strewn
Vultures pilfer this hollow husk
O, death
Black feathered harbinger
Over this carcass, crimson and crowned
Eggs and larvae infested corpse
We each return to the ground
Feral call
Summons breed
Peril, fear
Scavenge, feed
Devour all
Hordes consume
Depleted
Empty tomb
Imbue those
Waning thoughts
Mildew spreads
Tissue rots
Slow decay
Dust and bone
Crow takes flight
Rest alone
Druid's Heath
Long before life
The world a barren body of water
Waves crashing together
Burying sediment
Oceans receding
Birthing landmasses
Isles join through time
To create geological bodies
Energy through commotion
Formed by the shifting environment
Infusing the earth and shifting sands
With a life unknown
Witness passing of nebulas
Decaying suns and dying stars
At the dawn of creation
So the ancient ones come to be
Wake of man
Drain this land
Hunt and gather
Hoarding matter
Sheer abuse
Drill, deplete
Appropriate
'Til obsolete
Neanderthal
Brute, savage
Take these trees
Rape and ravage
Suppressing life
Senseless plague
Industry peaks
Shackling these
Gods of the old world
Cast in to bondage
At the hand of man
Acts of vengeful gods
To restore balance again
Insomniac
This child laid to rest
Is caught in a wake
Chilled from sheer horror
A dark presence makes
Formless expressions
The snarls cast by light
Stare sneering and gnarled
Dread all through the night
Through adolescence
The faces have grown
Forming silhouettes
And fears never known
These apparitions
Twisted with malice
Looming entrapping
Cause paralysis
Insomnia
Apathy
Pareidolia
Insanity
Occupy
Immobilize
Petrify
Paralyse
Dark forms fill the shadows
They surround my final dose
Suffer terrors in the night
Must maintain for dawn is close
Reject and refuse
Acknowledge no more
Exhausted I lay
But them I must ignore
Self Deprecation
Crack the cranium
Fill the mouth with shards
Pulling nails, collapse a lung
Pain stabs, my skin is barbed
Chip away at the body
Cut the needs, deprive
Constant shocks to my nerves
Enough damage just to keep me alive
Inviting anguish
Injure and pervert
So numb to sensation
That I embrace the hurt
Self deprecate
Humiliate
Just take me nowhere
It's the only place a nobody belongs
Raw flesh decomposing
Unrestrained loathing
Hold my attention
Morbid distraction
Burdened and buried
Break this skin casket
Frayed nerves are spread
Ends defiled and dead
Don't let it end
Keep agony flowing
Take my limbs to sever
Suffering forever
Don't wince or cry to god like a bitch on your death bed
New Dawn
Omens
Omens
Invite the host shadow into your life
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Destroy the ties with those that you love
Only one, hollow and grave
Carry the weight to the end of your days
Cower young lamb, and obey
Give of yourself to repress your spirit
Down in that hole you stay
Feed the darkness that holds you clenched
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Remain here in this vulnerable wallow
Only one, hollow and grave
Forever find new depths to bury it all
Cower young lamb, and obey
Delve deeper inside to desensitise
Down in that hole you stay
Black Bile
Black beady eyes behind beaked masks
A carpet of fumes flow through these streets
Billowing wisps whip at the ankles
Famine and poverty, sickness and death
A pox upon your family
Snuff your young in the night
Abandoned to this plague
Until cold, still, and white
Dragged from your warren dwelling
Corpses bloated and swelling
Stained crimson cobblestones
Litter this town of blight
Shakily clasp the dark
Collapsing alone and cold
Spluttering black bile
As fever takes its hold
A bitter nothingness below
Lying lifeless, limp, and frail
These thoughts they start to wane
Through shallow breaths exhale
Dizzying apparitions loom
Visions of a jesters grimace
Wicked festival contortions
A bleak and blackened stillness
Sensation of warmth washes over
Though the face be gaunt and pale
Unable to catch your breath
As these organs begin to fail
Vengeful Gods
Ritual pilgrimage
Lanterns in the night
Nomadic procession
Towards the hallowed site
Enochian incantations
Shroud of mystery and myth
Towering granite tablet
Praise the monolith
The earth below shifts and cracks
Flock of crows take flight
Forms eclipse the sun
Planets aligned, the time is nigh
Awaken the great ones
World-ender temple giants
Before there was existence
From the very depths of time
Colossi ascension
Debris and soil rain down
Blocks of moss clad rubble
Fragment to shrapnel on the ground
The coven join together
Monolith shards asunder
Bowing cloaked and hooded
Chants to the rhythm of thunder
Towering titans awoken
To end, destroy, and ravage
Through their merciless hatred
A purpose blackened and savage
Limbs raised to the heavens
To their summoners forsake
Crushed with such a force
It causes the land to quake
To nearby settlements, peaceful and unknowing
Guards stationed atop watchtowers call
Sightings of fog drawing from the horizon
Beacons ablaze to warn neighbouring colonies
Families gather around in mass panic
To cast cleansing and protection wards
In an attempt to secure this land, their home
From the threat of an approaching ancient evil
Skies above darken as lightning cracks it open
Marking the arrival of the once imprisoned ones
Through tears and prayers, villagers hope to be triumphant
But no one escapes the judgement
Of vengeful gods
Pain, Grief, and Suffering
And so the child must die
To mark an age of suffering
Embrace these senses
Begin to feel again
Go in to the woods
Deep inside deprive
Out of the depths
Three beggars arrive
And so the child must die
To mark an age of suffering
Embrace these senses
Begin to feel again
Inescapable agony
Finding no relief
Submit to the torment
Seek solace in this grief
Remote isolation
Distress and pain
Embrace the fear
Chaos Reigns
Wake every day
In realisation
You are nothing
Accept the sensation
Soon to pass
Sooner forgotten
Loss of hope
Grief is existence
Pain and suffering forever
Imagine it
The Path of Most resistance
Morning mist breaks
As a new day is born
Cacophony of birds
Rustling of a fawn
Awaken to the chorus
Pack, stretch and yawn
Chilled lungs
Hides for warmth are worn
Extinguish the camp's light
And ride out at dawn
Travellers from the wilds
Journey on
Into narrow glacial ravines
Howling gusts that lash
Frost shards shred the skin
Through pain and stripped flesh
Press on to snow peaked tops
Lightning strikes the virgin snow
Barrage of hail showers down
These boots they weigh and drag
Thickly bound as snow stuck
Tight winds whip the surface
Strain to fight the drag
These eyes they well with pressure
As night draws nearer
Push to the woods for shelter
Torches ablaze at arm’s length
A glow illuminates the forest floor
Tension in the atmosphere
The group halted in their tracks
To the sound of a low growl
Silhouettes across the tree line
Torch thrust embers flare
Kindle crackle met with snarl
Wall of matted grey fur
Bite bore and aggressive stance
A lone figure
As light begins to wane
Commander of wolves
Lord ruler of this domain
Moving through the brush
Against the elemental grain
In to that barren landscape
Skies blacken, sleet and rain
The Machine
It fills me with absolute dread
The dim glow of television sets
Soaking the road at night
It fucks with my high basking under the streetlight
Juvenile infantile out of the gene pool
Burning cells with this white noise nonsense
Turn off instead of wasting your life
Expanding minds with friends and the good times
You are a program
You are governed
Slave to that rancid spit
Fluorescent food is nothing but plastic
Engineered to trigger endorphins
Crave and shake in the thralls of withdrawal
Exhausted by nine to five
All that is easy rapes you in this
Day walking state of perpetual consumption
Opt out and submit to your base conditioning
Fuck with the pressure and see it all clearly
Disenfranchised from this humanity
End our bloodline and under rule
Self sacrifice, exile from this gene pool
Eradication of the plague
That is human life
Start the machine
End this race
Consider this merciful
Devoid of consciousness
Euthanize the people
End of times
Through the void, alone
To never belong
Lockjaw
Abandon
This husk
Withered shell
Rotting canvas
Invite the host shadow into your life
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Destroy ties with those that you love
Only one, hollow and grave
Carry the weight to the end of your days
Cower young lamb, and obey
Give of yourself to repress your spirit
Down in that hole you stay
Constricted
Choked and bound
Chew and gnash
Organs ground
Scales writhe
To the sound
Relentless, fierce
Mandible grip and pierce
Corpse marionettes
Blackened lung
This nightmare coma
Venom and stung
Dark form slithers
Fanged tooth, forked tongue
Undergrowth beneath
Glimpse the needled teeth
Abandon this husk
Feed the darkness that holds you clenched
Submit to its whim, weak slave
Remain here in this vulnerable wallow
Only one, hollow and grave
Forever find new depths to bury it all
Cower young lamb, and obey
Delve deeper inside to desensitise
Down in that hole you stay
Rebirth
Lives they travel through our vessels as we expire
Into others, new born chapters of the soul
We go seeking through the masses just to find
Common purpose, degrees of familiarity
Wise whole soul growing old
With one ticket for control
I've been told it's just a ride
Pay the toll when we're still and cold
Light will dim down to darkness in your final hour
Pass the torch to a virgin bearer young and new
As a phoenix from the ashes a flame ignites
So the cycle of mortality continues
In conception material will build and grow
Form a marriage of innocence and wisdom
Life is finite yet we are eternal
Refreshed and ready, empowered by this new host
Sentinels
Journeys End
Walk with your spirit animal
Nurturing, giving blessing
Wise and whole, pure in soul
Too truth hold fire
Rooting, sure footing
Switch to life, spring to light
In death ascend
With your astral guide
Release and let go
Feel the flushes flow
Gasp at the decibel swell
Touched by grace on high
The magnitude of creation
Cosmos wide to colossal insight
This life is finite but we are eternal
Going to find my way home
Spirits lift
Catch my drift
Say farewell for
One last trip
Flaming aves blaze
Trails across the sky
Winged sentinels above on high
Alight the sky with fire
Towering spires of gold and white
A royal procession
Regal reams of clouds stream
Welcoming us home
Journey side by side
Join the unified
Too Far Gone
Wide eyed midnight terrors and trauma
So numb, sombre, become sober
Waking, gasping, reaching for something
Bracing the waves over and over
I am the liquor
Downward projecting, depressive and deep
Hair of the beast that bites
Mood it sinks to the pit of my stomach
Taste the elixir, restore and respite
Never ending cycle of sickness
Self inflicted, alone to blame
Continuing always and forever
Every day the taste remains
Too far gone for some
To have one and become
Hollow and shallow
The shadow that follows
Leaving here fast, running from all
Chase to the bottom of the bottle
Losing in last, drowning I fall
Chase to the bottom of the bottle
Last call, final curtains and coffin
Sweet dose, shakes close, way out for certain
Drive the nectar through spinning sensations
Critical order, no longer hurting
The Brawl
Bastard bar room hench men brawling
Shards of pool cue cross the bar
Fists and flagons spill and swagger
Grizzled beard, stitch and scar
I defy you with clenched fists
Get up and taste grit
I deny you with clenched fists
Get up and taste this
Bloody fucking knuckle boxing
Barking chainlink in the yard
Frothy tankard puddles forming
Toothless grin stained by tar
Kingdom of Horns
Intricate spectral shards revealing
Delicate reflections on the cavern ceiling
Domed crag up high, black and glisten
An unnerving silence to stop and listen
Soft and serene, an astonishing sheen
A surface deception of the deep marine
Ripples to waves cross the pool from afar
Of the huge subterranean reservoir
Breaching the still surface of the vast lagoon
Cleft tongue extended, a deafening croak booms
Majestic, thick skinned and dripping
Broad bulbous jowl sack, vibrating and rippling
A last bastion in all the seas
This basin a space to spawn a species
Spawning in swarms of organisms
Colossal beasts formed from ancient amphibians
Save for the occasional bream
Seemingly lifeless the surface might seem
But lurking out in the murky deep
Hibernating and dormant in stasis like sleep
Territorial in nature these creatures are
A scene so serene is quite bizarre
But nearing the water is ill advised
Else aquatic shadows shall begin to rise
Mouth gaping wide with head held high
Fearless in form with cold gazing eyes
On hind legs, proud and strong
Motionless in that moment, a drone drawn out long
All are alert as an unknown entity enters the realm
Looming silhouettes of humanoid swamp beings
In force to claim this space as their own feeding ground
And so a clash erupts of tendons and flesh, gills and scales
Gearhead
Dawn breaking sunrise, bright lights blinding
Cling to the mast over rough terrain
Take no prisoners, turn up the volume
Audio bandits with tracks on the brain
Blasting brazen beats and casting basslines broadly
Raucous gang of raiders perform for guts and glory
Armed with strings and skins to seek to save somebody
Waking a wild man from a world conformist and orderly
Stand to attention, we give no quarter
Ring out the sound and rum soaked attire
Saturate fury, feel the sustain
Rumble beneath as the bass canons fire
Stretch out the vein
Inhale butane
Tanked to hell high
Rubber or die
Drifter
Lawbreaking, risk taking
Sentenced the death penalty
For liberating the struggle
A cause worthy of felony
Rough and raw outlaw
Deadly in close quarters
This bail jumping fugitive
Burned bridges crossing borders
Astral plane drifter duster
Soaked in high noon sun
Dog tired, oh so road worn
Out and on the run
A lawless execution
Switching state, pitching camp
This no good son of a bitch
Thumbing vinyl tramp
Abandon in motion motive
Never settle and roll wander
Forever on to pastures anew
Fool's errand in the wide yonder
A renegade of the sound
With little to lose on the wax
He travels through the tone and
Pitchhikes across the tracks
The Extrovert
No negativity paranoid passiveness
These things are poison for body and mind
Go and walk out amongst our species
Share in experience here with our kind
Ya folks say not to speak to strangers
That would not be necessarily true
Some things I've found are worth unlearning
Open up, get real, and let them see you
We are the people with one common language
Together as one, universally bound
A likeness as humans to build and relate
Form us a friendship upon common ground
Convulsion
Sanctioned thought devoid
Staggered mind strobe
Eternally retired
And alone in the vacant lobe
The patient convulse
Nightmare flashback
Chemical shellshock
Mental Ransack
Bent and broken I'm a hurting
As I stare, my head's not here
Free from thought I cannot see
Mind resets as I forget
Into perfect clarity
Reaching out but feeling trapped
Skipping frames so bridging gaps
About to break I shudder and shake
Bright white lights, here comes a lapse
Bound to a passive existence
This day has got me twitching
Input impulse stress and strain
Lapsing muscles in my notion
Stop these synapses in my brain
These panicked sensations
Mind and motion out of synch
Slowly losing consciousness
And edging closer to the brink
Capsized
Lost to thoughts infinite
Intense and analyse
Scribbled scrawls in silence
Buried and capsized
Along the way he fell into
This trance like state, subdued
Residing in reclusion
A space of solitude
Buried demons haunt him
Alone to demonstrate
Thought and quiet reflection
Content to contemplate
Hurt and weighing heavy
On his mental health
Alone at home a hermit
Is finding himself
Where the hermit dirt rests
Fear of the experience
Had held him back too long
Realising this
Brought courage to go on
Through the musk and damp
A fold unfurls
Throwing off the shackles
To face the world
Break away from isolation
Wasted life in isolation
His body a feast for the wolves
I feel it rain down
Rain down on me
Constantly forced to break
A meagre wage, a token fee
Grafting all the time
Routine is on my mind
Chains they bind slaves to the grind
Driven by thought police
Stresses on our sleeping state
Selling our humanity
Nine to five just to survive
Now they get your dreams for free
Omniscient
Outlander
Tighten the nuts on this rig
She must be ready to cross the wasteland
High gauge, full throttle and steam ahead
Her heavy tyre tread carves up the sand
Outlander
Hands on deck and fists to the sky
Patches of raw hide to mask are sewn
With iron, twine, leather and might
Wounds of war across the ships bow
The grooves a hook, line and sinker
Conformist and orderly
Queen Reefer
Hear me now with mind unsound
A body so rotten decays in the ground
Brimstone rocks and rolls of parchment
Incantation, black magic wand
Trinkets and tools of ritual travel
Take us to the ether beyond
Open awaken the dead to come
Candle wax drips to the beat of the drum
Dull pain, doll pain, full pins and needles
Choking on hair whilst coughing up flies
Needless irritants, itches and fidgets
Who would do voodoo to rise?
Knelt before the altar she comes
Stepping with the grace of a fawn
She blesses in bareness at ease
Never have I felt so alive
Summoning Queen Reefer
Horizon
Upon that hallowed ground the creature lashed with might
The mortal crowd withstood its blow 'twas but a minor plight
For in few fleeting moments the men could mount a strike
The siege it lasted hours on end from dusk it fell to night
Heat raged, head strong, favour happened upon the foolish free
Still by moon a battle fought between the beast and band
Silhouettes of snowy peaks as lightning lit the land
A fortune opportunity its beady eye was blind
The final fatal furious attack was for mankind
And so the ship was launched, forced against the tide
Heavy currents carried the men in the path of a seagull guide
Out to the ocean deep where foam began to brew
The sky started to darken and strong waves swept the crew
As they clutched for life, the sea storm passing on
Willing it to subside and glance at the horizon
A distant mass of earth amongst the endless blue
It steadily grew closer with prospect of trials anew
Sway of the Tides
Sway of the tides into the shore in sight of the foreign land
Inbound, grounded and locked washed the troupe onto the sand
Balmy breeze of an ocean mist brought peace and cooled the crew
Light rain fell upon the men and before long soaked them through
So they leapt from the boat for shelter they did seek
Gulls fall
Across the beaches of this isle they marched to find respite
Climate conditions becoming severe in time it would be night
Under a tropical canopy where earth covered the floor
Through bush and undergrowth the men began to explore
As day drew to a close they happened upon a cave
Moisture ran around, the cave walls were weeping
Steps slowed in wonder for what the men were seeking
Sadness in the rock and soil, mist in the stagnant air
Lagoon ahead, some moss for a bed, history in this lair
Discovery was their aim, a sense of purpose regained
Cavernous crystals glistened as light began to wane
Volcanic rock broke to a vast expanse below
Further, deeper, darker, downward, the craggy ridge would show
That's when it rose up from the depths below
Wings spread out wide, the serpent spiralled
Majestic beast through beams of light
It flew with grace and might
That's when it fell down to the place they stood
Wings spread out wide, the serpent saw them
Home
Living in hope you hear this plea, this distant plea
Waiting for you to come to me, come home to me
Comfort in this place
This is where we laid
Thoughts of your embrace
It is here I stay
Without affection
As desires burn
You left me alone
Promise of return
When we said farewell
Didn't know you'd take
Part of me away
Leaving this heartache
It is here I stay
House of Salvation
Bearing open arms and a bed to lay
Saviours shielding us from harm's way
Taken by the palm on the path and led
Reaching out to the light ahead
To take me home to freedom
As we meet folk along
Our journey widens with this song
Warmth on my brother 'cos he kind and he patient
And all are welcome here at the house of salvation
Speakin' in rhythm, time and code
Brave the route of the underground railroad
I ain't looking for trouble, no way, no sir
As that resting place draws every closer
To take me home to freedom
Night Bus Blues
Head's a mess on the old tequila
Resisting the urge to roam
Swaying at the station alone in the cold
Missing it'll be a long walk home (trust me)
God damn it. I fucking hate it.
There goes my only ride home
Guess I'll be walking through the morning
Missing the night bus blues
The night is long, the wait moreso
With my back to the bus bay
I open my eyes just to check the time
In time to see it pulling away
This venture requires liquor
Maybe them beers that are tall
Get some smoke for the road
This might not be so bad at all
Get to walking
Bandwagon
Ladies and Gentlemen please order, order
Come closer and listen we've been to the border
Out there are folks who adhere and agree
To unite in this passion and lifestyle is key
Fear mongering in the media keeps us all in check
We realise and rise above 'cos we've got self respect
Corruption in the press, you see, is how they feed you lies
We are the people with one common language, music unifies
There is an awakening happening now
For comprehension our minds do allow
It is so obvious from the stage seeing
These acutely aware and enlightened beings
Come down, play around on the bandwagon
Blue Snake Moan
My mind is spinning I feel all mixed
And through her form I'm transfixed
Fascination in the way she moves
Infatuation holds, my soul it soothes
Oh I know I've wronged, I ain't no saint my friend
Preaching of all these things; loose times, liquor and women
Life is a feast of fools and I've found, fake folk got nothing on you
Born to play and screw around 'cos belief is what we do
Lost in a moment I could dance forever
A place so crowded, we stay together
We hide, me oh my, sometimes she's so shy
Light her up together we trip to the sky
Collapse of the Bison Lung
Inhale the brown
Chest expands, eyebrows frown
Coughing calves cry and splutter
But you hold the smoke down
We engulf the horizon
Swallow the world wide, son
Breathe life to enliven
With the lungs of a bison
On setting lights from a bottomless toke
Numbed by that rush, it's like I'm fainting too
Shooting stars like kaleidoscope eyes
The cold white flush chills right through
Horizontal Life
Word to the Wise Man
So many tales I've been told
Through jack soaked whiskers grey and old
Years of madness these eyes glazed
Bar stool propped is how we're raised
Open plain this land is blessed
A mounted steed rides further west
Land so vast as the buffalo Pass
A pace ahead of all the rest
lesson in life as wisdom is taught
Enjoying this with a head so free
To fight and strive and never be bought
Into a herd of conformity
Shadow of an eagle
The mayor was out running his mouth
So I shot him
Our bombs are the beat and our beats hit the sand
And the sands from the earth span the sky
Our wings clap a wind which carries a storm
Forming dunes on the moon on a solar high
My shotgun barrel smokes and my pickup burns
Tracks along the concrete desert divider
Life in the lane of a bat country
Where a breeze is my flow and the sun is my guider
An eighteen wheeled companion joins my crusade
Armed with rollup, bourbon and beard
Together we scale this scorched earth around us
This outback home where I was born and reared
A calming moment of oasis peace
Plants the perfect scope in my sight
As the great sphere moves in the galaxy
It drains the world of its light
My brother as he tips his cap to me
I know he will change his course
Darkness creeps with a riders force
And I roll thick into the night
Astral Planes
I'm enslaved in the wake of a dream
Caught between the two worlds
Searching for somewhere to lay my feet
Loathsome, brilliant, physical, spiritual
Can't you see
There's so much more to us
Why can't we
Expand our consciousness
My mind can't breathe
Your slogan suffocates it
Dirty little izzard made mind pollutants
I'll project my body away from this place
From my solar plexus I can reach any space
The limitations of reality make life so dull
Loathsome, brilliant physical, spiritual
I left my body the other day
Came back a while later and sat where I lay
Spent some time with my guide on the astral planes
Forgotten my hatred, my worries and pains
Well I suppose in the end I made a decision
To make my way back to this reality prison
How I wish I could live some other way
I left my body the other day
No Slave To Master
Squatting in the warehouse
A government project
Narcotic Unit
The agent getting wrecked
Feeding our plants for the daily harvest
Our participation in the chemical test
Lawless loopholes, suits take care of ya
Camping in the bushes of a black Ops area
Tapedeck is playing those tunes so sleazy
Camping in the crops, confidential its easy
They learn to grow but we grow faster
Ahead of the game I'm no slave to master
Tapedeck is playing those tunes so sleazy
Camping in the crops, confidential its easy
We work like a well oiled harvester
Ahead of the game I'm no Slave to master
No Slave to master
No Slave
Mr Strongbatch
I said hey there Mr Strongbatch
That's quite a head on you
It seems you've seen so much
Teach me. Please Teach me
So we see the world afresh
No longer overlooking - everything is new
So we see everything as one
Personality of all
Teach me of rituals, groups and travel
Crossing over, where Don Juan went
The history of time and all that is
Meditation and enlightenment
Enslaved in the Icy Tundra
Awoken from a distant slumber
Skies they blacken, sleet and thunder
Enslaved in the Icy Tundra
Across the Baron Landscape with wolf pelt scalp to toe
Young travellers did march on through harsh and heavy snow
Avalanches rained down on the mountain ridge around
The ice began to sheer and crack across the frozen ground
As Water Surged within the tomb beneath the ice
The beast's frame did unfurl and its shadow began to rise
A crack across the surface as limbs leapt to the sky
The kraken drew a frightful moan, men met its beady eye
Lunar Domes
Launch in to the atmosphere from the crater base
Evolving as the fuel burns exploring inner space
Ten ton craft, two tone home
chrome and black lunar dome
Soaring high, galactic spectacles
Kings of the sky, extra-terrestrials
Shooting stars align and collide
Big bang of pressure easing the tension
Shattering across the infinite canvas
Beaming through wormholes to other dimensions
Titan
Weakness can drive the mind
Threats, worries, panic and fears
As a simulated world heckles
Muscles are clenched to catch the tears
Chemicals pain and distance soothe
Repressed struggle and deep dismay
In time you find the sobering thought
Tomorrow is another day
Longing to feel so whole again
Assemble personality bit by bit
Strive to succeed not simply survive
Flowing through the sound it keeps me alive
I prescribe a dose of release
Atop the pistes of blues rock
Heads begin to soar
As the skies gape and in dooms wake
The titan begins to roar
The clouds part to rip the heavens clean
and the titan begins to roar
Energy flows out through my soul
It returns you're not alone
Revelations through the silent mass
Resonations brought home
Open your mind
Shen Zen
Spraying waste from a tower of filth
Foul seed rapes the land
Fungal marshlands spreading mould
Rot emerges from the algae
Infecting. Disgusting
It watches from above - chaotic growth from mess
Admiring its warped creation, the beauty in sickness
The dark plague lurks driven by doom
A revolting force With shadows of men
Dedication to production
Gaia
One O moon maternal
Harmony with the sun
Between the two as they dance
The earth mother does come
An ethereal force of nature
Providing life for all
Branches tumble root and bind
Bonding this world whole
Hofmann
The rolling gust of the north wind
Sends itself through the reeds
Bringing with it a platoon of flaming locusts
The bug-eyed marine points his finger at me
And the wretched winds of the west
Bring countless cawing crows
Each of them wont let their spirit grow
The glass-eyed general wraps his beak on my skull
So I cleanse myself of these pressures
The arms of the sun embrace me
I take my rhythm to the water
And soak amidst the waves of melody
The engulfing gust of the east
Scatter skinhead beetles armed to the teeth
Their syncopated clacks pierce the air
Their linear vision is clouded by despair
I meet the lone wolf from the south
Who travels of his own accord
He explores with his third eye open
And values the mind over the sword
Scorpion
Through the beacon I see terror before me
Dilated pupils of man, woman and child
The trees as they split and they smoke and they weep
Charred corpses rain from the sky
Roaches feed on my frayed nerves
In an attempt to numb the pain
My lungs are encased in a locked ribcage
And a cold sweat creeps down my spine
Roaches feed on my frayed nerves
In an attempt to numb the pain
And a mantis, a mantis, a mantis prays for me
A black embryo hidden in the passage of time
A wash of stormclouds shadow mankind
Darkness engulfs mankind
To give birth to scorpion
On foreign beds of straw
Sweet incense clouds my pain
The onyx beating heart is a metronome
And my being keeps me sane
Forked Tongues
Cosmic Drips
The rhythm, the time, the weave
Oh this my luck
True moments that make me believe
For fuck's sake skin tight leather lips
Smokey oh shady cosmic drips
Petals woven through strands of hair
Sunlit flesh, so fresh, so fair
Together, entwined
We share, we love one mind
So fall for this
To make for eternal bliss
She moans, she shakes
We feel the body rock oh
This be so real, so take
Bad bones that rattle
Snakeskin tight leather lips
Smokey oh shady cosmic drips
Petals woven through strands of hair
Sunlit flesh, so fresh, so fair
Ol' Town
Dusty ol' town blues are met
By the crush of a metal tune you see
The local boys gather round to listen
And are bound by the groove of unity
Bloodshot hounddog - so free, so laid
The babble of the brook adds percussive vibes
To the heavy tunes that we play
The tunes that we play!
As twilight falls over dusty mountains
The mood tastes sweet from where we're sat
Rising flies through weary eyes
Shaded by the brim of an old straw hat
Country way laid my hometown darling
Grassroots hold me tight
Never mind all your corporate troubles
Keep my head down the stix at night
Sitting on by the river
I wanna be, I wanna be
Somewhere near the sea my friend
South We Roll
I gotta move
Gotta remove your mistaking
I gotta pry
I gotta pry it wide
You never saw
You never saw us coming
We'll fuck you up
From the inside
You said that kid's never gunna last
Fuck your poor judgement
Passion drove us
Towards the music
Many man followed
By our side
As the cattle graze
Under a smokey haze
Jump on the wagon
For our ride
Listen to the tales
Of our dirt track business
The break through comes
When you gotta choose
Be placid - sat with
What you're given
Or live your life
While playing the blues
Smokes 'n' Liquor
As bodies are hurled and spun
Hair and hips flung as one
Timed to the beat of music's call
All the heads at the whiskey ball
Backs to the wall to feel the bass
Liquor runs deep in this frantic space
Ice just to soothe the sight
As we live antics of the night
Rolling beats, lines and licks
Amplifiers and drum sticks
Bring the folks We'll bring the noise
Don't forget the smokes and Liquor
Don't forget the smokes and Liquor
Cut loose
Can't see straight
Jump up move your feet
To the highlight of the week
The Jackal
You've never seen how jackal's dance in the night
Come one. come all. come find your faith
Leave blind belief and find insight
Come one. come all. come find your faith
Understand this truth no man can deny
Come one. come all. come find your faith
As we confide in moves of the mind
Come one. come all. come find your faith
Misinformation from the model workshop
Wooden joints all worn and scuffed
Emotionally broken faceless puppet
Do you believe you can ever be loved?
In a world of magic and trickery
Truth fabrication as threads are twirled
A slight of hand masks who you truly are
Pull yourself through and be heard by the world
Think for yourself in the course of life
Notice when the whip is cracked
With open mind and inquisitive nature
Find you have control when you choose to react
Limbs flail
Casting shadows
Insanity is liberation
Awake to this conscious expansion
Understand what we can be
Curtains up its show time
The silent figure spreads its wings
As lights are cast and feathers tumble
Acrobatics along guitar strings
Forked Tongues
Shemhemforesh
With my horns I penetrate empty liars
Your holy messiah
The preacher started yelling
So I slapped his face raw
And when he turned the other cheek to me
I broke his fucking jaw
The drums spoke in forked tongues
I drained the sacred rivers
And turned wine into blood
No ark can save you now
You prayed for majesty
Now bleed from your crown
The Void
And so I hide as these events coincide
I try, but I do not find that insight
Through the void I can feel home
In a place I'll never belong
Locked in a passive existence
Life passes me by
I wilt as you blossom
I rot as you root
Connected
Don't confine your thoughts
Let them wander free
As we seem to travel further apart
Cast some thoughts to me
And I shall return one day my friend
These thoughts which you have sent
I shall think how we've come so far
And the path in which we went
Think of all that we've accomplished
Imagine what we can do
As this world will stand and stop and listen
Close its eyes to words so true
So as for now I think to find
This journey sprawls further on
Let me take you with me my friend
On my course throughout this song
Pocketwatch
So they call me the traveller
Been on the rails since way back when
I leave my mark at every station
Mapping the places that I've been
With but an oak switchblade,
A toothpick
Two bit sunglasses and my spindlestick
No direction, got no plans at all
Cos those of us who live have just gotta go
As steam rolls its way down the valley
The sun beats down on my face
From my home a boxcar carriage
Life needn't be any faster a pace
A man of means by no means
So they say
I live my life on a day-to-day
No direction, got no plans at all
Cos those of us who live have just gotta go
