Words and Music by Jonty Wain & Tony Overton
1- EMBRACE THE DARKNESS- Close the blinds and shut out the daylight Open your arms and embrace the darkness No time for you will ever be right There'll never be a time you'll be able to break us -This is the nemesis here comes the apocalypse This is the destruction of the world- Choose the solace of the brooding skies Chase the rabbits in the headlights Fight for the need you can't deny Let all the other considerations fly In our conflict we play our games System breakdown still the same Together strong we make our claim We are still unbowed Together before the world Together in front of the world Together up against the world Yet some have agreed to help
2- LET ME BE CRUCIFIED- When I feel your tension Near my soul Just when you stand up close You know we are not alone Look into my eyes Look at what I've done Let me be crucified Let me fade away You know I want you on your own But when events conspire against us We must go The chance it will not be there tomorrow No hope for compromise We don't have separate lives All for you I do
3- GET WHAT YOU WANT- Make your choice And make it quick I can get what you want We can get what you want Satisfy your desire Free your heart on fire Let's go on the road Let's go to the show Drop me but you know We'll meet in the middle Walk down the stairs And close the doors I'm off to see ya I'm off to see ya
4- CONDEMN ME- It seems to me like you try to make things harder It seems to me that you force me to do things It seems to me that it's all just a waste of time It seems to me that I could do better things- Stay back and stay the fuck away from me Stay back and leave me alone Why do you condemn me why do you always chase me up I want to be free but you drag me back down- I want to be left alone and given time to think Sit back and inhale the fresh air I want to be able to sit here and breathe and take it easy- Stay back and stay the fuck away from me Let me do this at my own pace Just fuck off and leave me alone- It seems to me that you don't believe a word I say It seems to me that my dreams are just flying away It seems to me that I am just a puppet for you It seems to me that I could do better things
5- CHANGEOVER RITUAL- Changeover ritual They are fucking everywhere These people Swap and change Ultimatums part-exchange Good as new or quite deranged- All of a sudden I am a man that walks this Earth The dice they rattle Into another throw Continuous rolls is what I like Continuous rolls I do not doubt- Give it to the one you can't deny Or have another try Changeover ritual Space ritual What we do upon this globe- Chop and change between the two Can't I have both I can't choose Changeover ritual is the thing As all the bars around they swing
6- ADRENALINE WIRED- Gathering up in the skies We come from far and wide A show of strength we can't deny Join together multiply- Kidnapped Presidents hear our cry Held to ransom Held at knifepoint To pacify- Infrastructure capture Silent Revolution high Conflict resolved this time Coming like a thief in the night Policy document contract signed Adrenaline wired- Motorcade and outriders hired High octane decide Pit them against each other And try to weigh up the sides Feel the breeze calm your nerves It passes through many hands This Fantasy- We have the stronghold And two other parts of town No worthy rivals have been found Let's expand let's not go down Horses everywhere we abound Kill with kindness Turn them round Across the highway hear our sound
7- DNA ENCODED- Even though the distance Between us Causes so much longing We are not Broken apart- I'm encoded I'm broken I'm rotting away I'm thrown out to the birds For them to feed Upon my soul- My DNA lives in the skies When I die And it flies through the clouds When my soul Like a special ghost A special ghost The birds of prey- Like a channel I come to meet you Bitten and chewed Like escape like a rescue Reappear somewhere else In some other form For the circle of life Come to find you A victim of your beautiful face
8- ENTOMBMENT OF A MACHINE- What stands before us is not a machine It breathes it will bleed and it dreams- Its body is covered in hundreds of wires and a mouth that attempts to speak it attempts to lie only murmurs collapse from its jaws and a world a world without a world without you but I rise the dead will pride it breathes beyond this life so sleep sleep among us and hesitate no more entombment of a machine- We kneel and we pray for no mourning ahead of us- What stands before us is not a machine- My legs weaken at the sight of this damaged program This program kept you breathing It kept you alive These circuits diffuse once more- Its body is covered in hundreds of wires Only murmurs collapse from its scream- Entombment of a machine- But I saw it die And I'm not a liar We saw it die We saw it die We saw it die We watched it die
9- BEAUTY ON ALL SIDES- Why do I sit here and mourn a traded soul Waiting for time to make me whole again I can't see too far into the future When it's not gonna happen again- Since we broke apart only pain and misery has followed me it getting harder with every breath I take Look into a mirror and stare at my own reflection has everything become so 3-dimensional that it's too real? Too real to make things fake again? Let me live again- Looking round every corner and all I can see is beauty on all sides Look hard with bloodshot eyes but all I see is pain in the light- I wish everything was dark waiting for the lights to blow out and no longer would I see This is the way I want things to be So let me blind and forget everything maybe this way I could respite my soul
10- WAITING FOR HER TURN- In the City and by the fields We go spinning in our wheels All across the country wide Tension mounts before we meet- She she knows the other side Waiting for her turn to ride See another though tonight All in danger stay in sight- See me coming before I arrive Wait with words to mystify Elevate to the night skies Darkness or morning in your eyes- Wake me up not from a dream Not all is real that you see Bright those eyes they shine at me Together when I feel complete- Tell the story but is it true I still hold some Aces What is left for me and you Some familiar places Waiting for her turn
11- MARTYRED ON YOUR GRAVE- I did my time and I want out So abusive fate it doesn't cut The soul is not so vibrant The reckoning The sickening This is my subversion Psuedo sacred psycho virgin Go drill your deserts Go dig your graves And fill your mouth with all the money you will save Going in getting smaller again I'm not the only one- And the reign will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall And no-one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me- There are cracks in the road we lay You tried to rise above us but it's pointless today Days can turn from blue to grey Is there a future within this life If I destroy you there will be nothing left behind I'm done My heart went numb I'm not the only on
