A Grand Scene For A Color Film

SIT DOWN!
Return to sender, I've fallen off the hint of suggestion.
Unlearning the strange devices of the world.
It's the end of the earth or something like it, like it.
The great universal coma has arrived.

We are holding our hands towards the sun.
Sit down, come on sit down.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town.
Return to sender, carried straight from the womb to the grave.
Your eyes have been paled to emptiness.
All things have been carved out by the unceasing haunts of this, the Great Manipulator!

The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town.
Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town!
You've given us user friendly grenades! Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?
Just what are you trying to say? Just what are you trying to say?

The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.

The holding of our hands upwards and around the eclipsing sun has become empty and automatic.
Sit down, sit down, come on sit down.

Let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town!

Blueprints For Future Homes

Like miracles like
Clockwork and like miracles,
You witnessed halos, but you failed to see its horns.

The illusion of intelligence, a continuous sounding bell.
And can feel the interruption in the air?
Can you feel the static?
I've never seen you like this, seen you.

Yeah, well that's what I said.
Drive, drive your vultures home.
You're killing me.
Just Bury me.
Yeah, Well that's what I said.
And I said exactly what I meant.
You're killing me.
Just Bury Me.

Holy ghosts and talk show hosts.
How I panic as you fail.
Your conscience is a wolf.
Walls are being built, deception wears its veil.
Her charm is fleeting but her love just will not last.
Far from men you hang and sway with no defender.
Pushed around by the noise of this carefree crowd.
Her charm is fleeting but her love just will not last.

I will not sleep while you are throwing anchors to a drowning generation.

Yeah, well that's what I said.
Drive drive your vultures home.
You're killing me.
Just bury me.
Yeah, well that's what I said.
I said exactly what I meant.
You're killing me.
Just bury me.

Yeah, well that's what I said [x4]

Hell is empty, the devils are here. [x2]

I will never sleep.

A Small Spark vs. A Great Forest

What did you say?
Don't speak.
You nailed down all your words on me
And it felt like a blind guide.
Leading me into quicksand.
So fight fair, fight fair.
But all you hear is noise.
Fight fair. Fight fair!

I've earthed this seed so many times.
Deeply held in this skin of bark.
Branches made of ash and forests born aflame.

Restless and full of poison, shattered by a sea of dialog.
Rabid speech like dogs with teeth.
Words like a beggar, that don't speak.
Crouched and bent out of shape.

Rip this tongue out by the root.
Shake the walls off this pale grave.
A blaze, a blaze is set upon the hills.

A blaze, a blaze is set upon the hills.

An open grave from which a great forest will rise
The fires collapses.
The corpses I've made.
This should not be. Oh, how we curse.
The tongue is a flame.
Let there be grace.

With words like a beggar, with words like a beggar
That don't speak, that don't speak
That don't speak, that don't speak
Don't speak

Rip this tongue out by the root
And shake these walls
Shake these walls of this pale grave

A blaze, a blaze is set upon the hills

Fight fair!

A Temperamental Widower

We're not going backwards
We're not going backwards

We're just killing onward to die.
Put that knife away.
My first thought, a dragon.
My first thought, a dragon

Two contending marches.

Put that knife away.
She'll sting you to death like a swarm of hornets from the hive.
Endlessly I drift into this distraction.
Sign my name to shame
Press hard, there are three copies.

You'll put me in the grave.
You'll put me in the grave.

We're not going backwards
We're not going backwards

We're just killing onward to die.
Put that knife away.
Put that knife away.

Making progress like that of a dead man.
Constant last words.
The last word.
The last words.

The End Of All Things Will Be Televised

All we know will be folded. A day of clouds. Creation waits...

Get away blue collar instrument
Get away politicians and priests
Refined to consume
It will be laid down
On the necks of the pure
The proud and the damned

Your day will come
Turn the page, embrace your
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
Everything is burning because

Tonight the south is on fire!
The south is on fire.

Creation waits in eager expectation. Anxious. Patient.
Heaven will pause.

Get away blue collar instrument
Get away politicians and priests
Refined to consume
It will be laid down
On the necks of the pure
The proud and the...
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
Everything is burning from your
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
The seas are boiling

Out comes the light
Awake and rehearse

Out comes the demons
I never saw you
Out comes the mercy
Shutting down hell
Bite down until it bleeds
Out comes the exit

All things complete
O infamous city, full of turmoil, I'm terrified at your collapse
The kings, they shudder with horror, their faces distorted with fear
Endless empires gently brushed away in the blink of an eye
All Creation, wilted.

Captain, the ship is sinking. Have mercy.

Songs Sound Much Sadder

We'll be legends.
We are smashed men, still moving.
We've tried everything in the book.
No stranger to failure, death with a steady heartbeat.
Scratching into any surface it wants.

Joy and beauty rejected so many times.
A world of hurt, a heart of false hope.

While we thought we were learning how to live,
We have been learning how to die.
I should have known, we will be legends.

Our hopes and dreams, our worst nightmares.
Our worst nightmares have now come true.

Tonight when this deep sleep falls on men.
Driven by a instinct more powerful than life itself.
From horror to hope, from hope to devastation.

And while we thought that we were learning how to live
We have been learning how to die
I should have known we will be legends

Overfed and unconcerned, they came with teeth and claw
Oh hated form of emotion you have become so obvious
My friend, the fatal habit of being myself

Okay, there's hope
Step back with all your friends

The Longest Lasting Statement

Will the body be abandoned? Will it?
Improvement is no redemption.
Unbelief is no diversion.
Drenched in blood, soaked in grace
Take this body.

A sound that has no sight.
2,000 years,
2,000 years until they crash never begging for return.

I was stabbed through the neck.
You will take this body, you will take this there (for the land)
There is not a separation.
You will take this body, you will take this there.
We will... we will... we'll run straight to the murder.
We'll run... we'll run straight to the murder.

Amnesty Please

Astounding! Let us consider our current state
A string of events and I tied the first knot
You're an anchor and I won't be drug down
Because no matter what

Burn this to ashes
Ashes and framework

A dying man needs to die, as a tired man needs to sleep
And there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist

Burn this to ashes
Ashes and framework

You are forgiven
But this just does not mean that what was done is okay
Trust is destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right
The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever

You can be free to turn your back
I'm not holding a gun

Trust has been destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right

The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever

Burn this to ashes
Ashes and framework

Trust has been destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right

The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever

Trust has been destroyed for you and me
What's done is done and this will never be right

The sun has gone dry
So we can sleep forever

And I've been so bitter towards you
And I've been so bitter

I've been so bitter towards you

Like Swimming Circles

I don't care what you said
I won't sink in the flood
But I listen to every noise
That you make and make sense of what you say
And I take note to every sound

We're not the same again

Don't you dare insinuate me

You don't care what you create
You can't swim in this flood
And you'll swallow with every wave
That comes by and take, take what you need
You'll still swallow with every tide

We're not the same again

Don't you dare insinuate me

To hell with that!

Cemetery Like A Stage

There will be no more color
Broken I stand here
A new creation
On the stage of history
Where map and compass
Mean nothing at all
The arrows are in me
My spirit drinks poison
I joined the avalanche
Just to feel alive

I remember sitting in
My mother's room
And I watched them cry
We're not supposed to be here
Tonight I will sleep on the floor
Oh, such weight

All colors rushing back
Restoring frail life
We're broken here
We're ruined here

There are strangers
In my house
Tripping over
Themselves to
White wash this
Disaster
I am young but
I'm not blind

All colors rushing back
Restoring frail life
We're broken here
We're ruined here

The Voice of Heaven
Speaks with time
A new understanding
Dedication
This will never fade
I guess the body
Means nothing, means nothing at all

Broken and unbroken

All colors rushing back
Restoring frail life
We're broken here
We're ruined here
