Lights Out
(B.Vandekerkhove)
Welcome to no man's land u.s. of a.
where raping and shootings occur everyday
where it's no longer safe to go out after dark
where human morality is totally fucked
money is everything, justice is bought
pride and integrity sit there and rot
it's nobody's fault, we're just that way
welcome to no man's land u.s. of a.
you don't care
welcome to no man's land
our children are killed
the elders are eaten
where shame is distilled
Welcome to no man's land u.s. of a.
where thousand go hungry and foods thrown away
where some work three jobs so their children don't starve
and others do nothing and own three cars
those who have everything turning to booze
and those who have nothing refusing to lose
where those who are smartest have nothing to say
welcome to no man's land u.s. of a
you don't care
Mercenary Song
(B.Vandekerkhove)
Kneel, down obey
You’ll never question any part of anything I say
Don’t, shake my hand
You’ll never be a victim you’ll never understand
Because you let me down, I’ll do it on my own
Shout, in disarray
I’ll never live the way you live; I’ll never be that way
Fight, for your pride
You only fight for violence; you’ll stand on either side
Hope slips away, you’re gone, lost your mind
Out of reach, out of touch, left behind
Another drone of their minions, terrified
Raped soul, you’ve lost, your hunger
Cryonic Day
(B.Vandekerkhove, D.Sessor)
so it hurts to let you go, but I
can’t keep on
so I guess I’m moving on, oh where did I go wrong?
So I guess this is the end,
it’s too late – the rules don’t bend
Thanks a lot for all your help,
the time has come to bid farewell
I can’t tell
What’s next for me?
let me shed this skin
cuz everything has fallen apart
jumpship into a new skin....what's next for me!
The sun has set another day, only sets another way
I would drink the optimism but the glass is half-empty
I am looking for a sign, just to help me know I’m right
Wish I knew what triumph was, wish I wasn’t so lost
Ride the wave and move along
Hope that none of me gets lost
Off again to the rat race, I hope I got what it takes
See you on the other side,
when I can tell you how I’ve tried
Ride of life – save me a seat,
See you in the big retreat
Id
(D.Sessor)
I watched you slip
I watched you fall
(repeat2)
I watched you slip right through my hands
Even though I've tried to put things right
You didn't even fucking try, did you even care at all?
Reflections tell the truth. Your eyes hold no lies
Buried emotions screaming out, let go of chains that bind
Trapped in your own prison
The walls you'll built have shut you out
Drag you down, strip you away
Bit by bit, all that was you....
Self righteous now, self righteous now
Lost you some how, look who's self righteous now!
Just you and yourself, all by yourself
you've picked your battles and lost your ground
Don't pass the blame on me.
Watched you..slip away...never give...you just take
Away from me...all i see...are tainted red visions of someone i knew....i
watched you slip...i watched you fall
(repeat2)
Stop the Game
(B.Vandekerkhove)
You fucking cowards, hiding behind
your mask
To save you from shame
Your ignorance went out the window
Replacing it is blame
Hatred, ignorance, racial intimidation
Bigamy, violence, not this generation
You’ve had your fucking day
But now it’s time to stop your game
We’ll stand against you and things will change
It’s really gonna change
We’ll cure the disease!
If mourning doesn't come
(B.Vandekerkhove, D.Sessor)
when I die, don’t cry for me,
because I’ll leave this world with wings
fly above your judgement,
where right and wrong don’t exist
don’t cry for me, I’ll have wings
beyond you, beyond your ways
Enlightenment, one step away
A new awareness, a brand new height
A soul’s new body, take to flight
Time can march, time can fly
But if time has caught you, you’ve already died
Slaves to the clock, slaves to life
I’ll leave this world with wings, divine
So I soar above conception, so I soar unlimited
So I soar beyond dimensions so I soar
In the Line
(B.Vandekerkhove)
If you could catch the stars
falling from the sky,
I think you’d count them on their way down
If you could catch the stars falling from the sky,
I think you’d name them on your way down
Nothing that you take can equal what you give
No gratitude or thanks is less than you deserve
You’d sacrifice it all, each morning you awake
and centuries of life keeping you safe
And we depend on you, to be strong and stand
And we depend on you, and your helping hand
And when we fall, you pick us up
And in the hardest times, you fall for us
And as we walk the line between right and wrong
You offer your guidance and get stepped on
Day after day, you sacrifice it all
You become chivalry when duty calls
We under appreciate
Just Beyond
(B.Vandekerkhove, D.Sessor, R.Tilly)
It’s too bad; these unspoken words
it’s too much; will never cease to be
It’s too far; painting disbelief
to touch; as far as the eye can see
I’ll never have; a voice my own
I’ll never be; in complete control
I’ll never know; the lessons i've learned
I’ll never see; actions replacing words
Trapped in a mind, under control, trapped and confined
Imprisoned soul
Sucked in quicksand, watching me fall, no way out,
Standing small, held back, held down, held underwater
Watching me drown
Baron Fields, bear no fruit
Nothing left to pollute
Why is this so hard to find?
Coward
(B.Vandekerkhove)
Self-absorbed, your concern is just a lie
Hateful scorn, is what you have on your mind
True intentions, I know you want me to die
Self reflection, what do you look like inside
Screaming rage – held inside
You want to take me out but I won’t let it happen
Inner anger, I think you hate yourself too
Big frustration, you just don’t know what to do
Pass the blame, convince yourself it’s my fault
Keep it up, soon you’ll be nothing at all
Cowardly, because you know that you’re wrong
So ashamed, because you know what you’ve done
You erased, the time in your memory
You replaced, all you do not want to see
Your affliction is abandon, You are a lie
Ending a life in mid-sentence
(B.Vandekerkhove)
So they, make believe
They don’t know it for themselves
Embarrassed, but not ashamed
To admit that I don’t know
Fuck the stars – burn the books –
Race yourself to the beginning
And nothing that I say will be remembered
Unless it’s written down, unless it’s carved in stone
Uncertainty, is all that’s sure
Does it really matter, will anybody care
The stars will fade in time, our voices fade with years
So I push away, these earthly things, my humanness
Has to be something else born into the wrong world
Salt
(B.Vandekerkhove)
You created the open wound, gave us the
salt
You like to talk about the kids these days
But it’s all your fault
Televisions; replacing parents, Nintendo dads
Then you wonder why we’re rotten, Have you gone mad?
TV Dinners won’t nourish a growing a boy
We’re hungry, neglected, being destroyed
It’s all your fault
(You threw us away)
You filled the generation gap with a solid wall
Turn your back; don’t catch us, when we fall
You abandon us, You abandon us, You abandon us
No we will abandon you.
Never Break
(B.Vandekerkhove)
Never, will
i abandon
what I've fought so hard to keep
the light that guides me
will never be put out
Call me narrow-minded, call me strange
i have my convictions and they'll never change
call me old-fashioned, with no appeal
at least i have something to keep me real
fighting on my own!
never give up hope
I live for myself
never breaking, for anybody else
i fight alone, a one mans army
never giving in, never giving up
living, how i want
living, by my own set of rules!
i will uphold my vow...
Suburban Dream
(B.Vandekerkhove)
sports
cars, mini vans, SUVs
karate soccer, little league
white picket fences and birthday cake
suburbia can be so fucking fake
i live in suburbia; it's not that great
it's not like the ones on TV
nice neighborhoods are safe, but not much fun
it's over rated
ten speed bikes, and big TVs
riding lawn mowers and DVDs
department stores and shopping bags
no one knows how much they have
no one... understands themselves!
so you, lie to yourself.
Your America
(B.Vandekerkhove)
red white
and blue
injected on our minds
on the evening news
making us blind
a picture perfect image
where everything's fine
we still never see the curtain
they're hiding us behind
This is your America for which you would die
this is your America, but WHY?
they tell you its freedom expecting no question
they tell you, you need them, they hide their true intentions
cause if you knew the truth if you weren't just a drone
you'd know you were able to stand on your own.
the tree of liberty must be watered by blood
Wax Monument
(D.Rose, R.Tilly)
Righteous ways, no compromise,
list of
lies, shallow cries
This I hold, silver gold,
it’s what you eat it’s what you bleed
Standing still, test the will,
of who you are and what to be
Talk them down, look around,
we are the pawns of jealousy
Dress yourself, to avoid the scene and create a need
To show the world your plastic face, your social place
State of the world, your state of your mind,
It’s all the same if you take a look inside
We’ve got ourselves wrapped around our fingers
Blistered beneath the rule of a thousand holy leaders
So if by chance, you understand
the price we have to pay
Then get in line because it’s your time, to be replaced.
Building Stairs
(B.Vandekerkhove)
These chains on my brain are all
that remains
Of a life of a man who has gone away
And all his hope has let him down
I’m wide-awake, I’m well aware
I’m the only one who put me here
I’ve made myself become alone
So don’t tell me about my mistake,
I think about it everyday
Don’t need your hand to pull me out of the hole,
I think I’ll be okay
Don’t hand your pity down I’ll throw it in your face
I’ll hold my head up high I’ll never be ashamed
And I’ll work twice as hard, I’ll work for twice as long
And I’ll remember every rock I’ve stumbled on
Face the day
(B.Vandekerkhove)
played the game, I don’t want to play again
but I know it never stops
beaten down, so many times I’ve fallen to the ground
it’s so hard to carry on
sometimes it feels, I’ll never make it in this world
and I’ve got no where to turn
sometimes it feels, like I’m so far behind
so many things I have to learn
face the day, but the day faces me
each sides the wrong side of the bed
listen up, everybody’s talking at once
I hear but I don’t understand
It’s so hard, sometimes I just want to give up
But I’m never giving in
Might laugh last, but I know I’ll laugh the best
In the end I’m gonna win
