"Nodding Acquaintance"

And you’d better be yourself
yourself tastes better
better than pieces of your heart [x2]

Buy me some Indians
to oppose my bored dead cowboys

The Appeal & The Mindsweep I

This is an appeal to the struggling and striving stakeholders of this planet;
This floating rock we call earth...

Alas, that means you

That means:

A field, desolate
And underfoot
A tarmac river flows

I wait to depart
An inconceivable aught
When you're no wings and all elbows

And I said park your car and come on up to my house
We'll plan a revolution
And I said yeah I think I'm ready to begin
We'll destroy the disillusion

I am currently under construction
Thank you for your patience
We veneer unveil we present a cold disguise

Myopia

Drip drip drop - bit by bit - it's the dulcet sound of the glacial melt
Accompanied by the Belunga, singing about the hand they've been dealt
The Emperor and the Arctic Fox listen intently...

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune

[Movement 1:]
If this is a siege
I'll wait this out
I'll wait this out
I'll wait this out

If this is a siege
I'll wait this out

Be embraced, billions

This kiss for the whole world

Can this day last forever?
There's no sign of stormy weather
I could kidnap the sky
And pour it straight into my glass

Huddled in this acid nation with apprehension,
You are expected to gulp down hindrance.

This is a celebration of spirit and of mind.
When your bodies resignation is heard you can ignore.

This is an assignation.
WE WILL PERSEVERE

Huddled in this acid nation with apprehension
You are expected to gulp down hindrance
Huddled in this acid nation with apprehension
You are expected to gulp down hindrance

[Verse 1]
This is a celebration
Of spirit and of mind

And I long for you to appear
After losing your way across star riddled skies
To carry you home

And I long for you to appear
After losing your way across star riddled skies
To carry you home

A field, desolate
And underfoot, a tarmac river flows
I wait to depart, an inconceivable aught
When you're no wings and all elbows
Oh, it's so cold
I watch my breath unfold
It wraps us in a cloud of gloom

22nd of June, 209 AD, A crowd gathers.
Ohhh they fuckin' love a good beheading.
Watch as St.Alban's head, rolls down the hill.
The crowd stood still, 'cause what they just saw,
It petrified them to the core,
Ahhh to the core.
Ahhhhhh.

Now I was feeling like a total giant!
But now it feels like Silvius Brabo has sliced my hand off
and thrown it in the river!

Now I was just doing my job,
my feet sink into the bed of the Scheldt
but now my fingers are reeling about with the fishes

His eyes are locked on her
Her eyes are fixed else where
He's confident, but he's not aware
She doesn't care

Their only connection
Is the silence they both grasp
He's lost control

His eyes are locked on her,
Her eyes are fixed elsewhere,
He's confident, but he's not aware,
She doesn't care.

Their only connection, is the silence that they both grasp,
he's lost control, but she's not aware, of his stare.
Everything seems to intimidate him, with the strobe lights flashing,

This is an expedition,
Into the Arctic tundra!
This is a sick inhibition,
Just to spoil and plunder!

That's the sound of another door shutting in,
In the face of progress, in the face of progress.
No bounded flags, In this event,

Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
Manipulate and hypnotize
Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
(Three, two, one, sleep)
Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
Manipulate and hypnotize
Hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so hypnotized, I'm so
(Three, two, one) hypnotize

"AN AIDLESS AND HARROWING FUTURE IS DEVELOPING FOR OUR GENERATION AND GENERATIONS TO COME.

BUT AS I WALK THE CHARTERED STREETS OF THIS FAMILIAR OBLIVION I RECOGNIZE NOTHING BUT UNDERLING UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

IN WHICH WE HAVE ALMOST COMFORTABLY DROWNED.

Packed a last few shirts into a bloated suitcase
The last glimpse of comfort and a ticking clock face
i swear those hands move faster every day
I'm more confused than ever but i don't beg or pray
cause the sparkling light from morning sun
is all we should need to feel warm

I reach the station with just minutes to spair

I never walked on the moon, I never saw the pyramids,
I was never struck by famine or fortune.

I’ll never experience the world you inhabit.
I’ll never experience the world you inhabit.

I never swum with dolphins, I never sang from a mountain top,
I was no inventor and no archaeologist.

Contained for the very first time
We started planning out the ultimate crime
Lock it together to destroy this cold stasis
Rory С, what's your thesis?

I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE IT!

Institutions are established and invested, put to us, getting tried and tested, noticed, fore-swept, and digested, it's about time we can contest it.

A blank sheet of paper
is just begging to be filled
But tonight I cannot pour my heart out
Because you escaped with it in your back pocket
Because you escaped with it in your back pocket

Television remote controls cannot save me
From destroying myself

Shit!
Shit!

"I've been hiding here for a thousand years, waiting for your ghost"
"I've been hiding here for a thousand years, waiting for your ghost"
Your life's about to flash before your eyes
Your life's about to flash before your eyes

Each nation used to prove its country with security
with factories providing arms for their country
Now multinational companies compete in the arms trade
to serve any customer, maximising the money to be made

So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries
so people can live to enjoy the taste of nature
National warehouses compete to provide arms around the world

Gandhi Mate, Gandhi

Now I don't know about you, but
I don't think
the primary purpose of your life, of my life,
and the entirety of the human race
Is just to blindly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system
For ever and ever

And I lie here
staring up at the stratosphere
and hoping we're gonna get out of here

And it seems mad
that we're born on the doorstep
of squalor and of pedistools

Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think the primary purpose of your life, of my life and the entirety of the human race's is just to blindly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system, forever and ever until we run out of every resource and have to resort to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival. I don't think we're supposed to sit by idle while we continue to use a long outdated system that produces war, poverty, collusion, corruption, ruins our environment and threatens every aspect of our health and does nothing but divide and segregate us. I don't think how much military equipment we are selling to other countries, how many hydrocarbons we're burning, how much money is being printed and exchanged, is a good measure of how healthy our society is but I do think I can speak for everyone when I say, we're sick of this shit.

Time to mobilize
Time to open eyes
We are not a quiet pocket of resistance
This is real, but we cannot afford to fail
Act with, act with persistence
This is real, but we cannot afford to fail

The Lions are at the door
We ain't taking orders from snakes no more

The Lions are at the door, yeah
We ain't taking orders from snakes no more

Knock, Knock!

Now let's cause some fucking havoc!

The lions are at the door,
We ain't taking order from snakes no more.
The lions are at the door, yeah!
We ain't taking order from snakes no more.

Stand by...

To the multi story car park
With our friends
drinking from a bottle
of white lightning

on top of marks and sparks
roof running
smoking

Hello Tyrannosaurus, meet Tyrannicide
You haven't read your history have you? Just regurgitated lies
And everything taught to you, no man is too tall
You can grow but remember, empires always fall

We're not your subjects, You're not our King
Nature is the only dictator, that I respect and obey
You've tried and failed, You don't create

I only smoke weed when I need to
and I need to get some rest
yo wheres the sex
I confess
I burned a hole in the matress yes yes
that was me, I plead guilty
and at the count of three
I pulled back the duvet

It hurts
Every time we fall
But your worth (worth)
It doesn't change at all
It hurts (hurts)
Every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth)
Doesn't change at all

'Cause you know, I, I don't wanna be held captive
By my own opinion of myself, do ya know what I mean?
By my own idea of who I am (lights out)
Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak
And we'll be prisoners on the run
Now I'm lying wide awake
I'll mastermind a jailbreak

Rise, taste the air, lock and load, pull the trigger,
Climb, to new heights, and tell me, tell me what you hear...

A whisper from the wind, and I can't help but listen,
It warns us of disaster, and I can't help but wonder,
Can anyone hear the same distress call?

So this is a quest to save the world,

Rise, taste the air, lock and load, pull the trigger,
Climb, to new heights, and tell me, tell me what you hear...

A whisper from the wind, and I can't help but listen,
It warns us of disaster, and I can't help but wonder,
Can anyone hear the same distress call?

So this is a quest to save the world,

And I know that we've still got time
But I do not think we're invincible
And I think that it is a sign
'Cos I do not think we're invincible

Crushing all in it's path (x4)

Now don't get me wrong I love what you done with the place

And I know that we've still got time
But I do not think we're invincible
And I think that it is a sign
'Cos I do not think we're invincible

Crushing all in it's path (x4)

Now don't get me wrong I love what you done with the place

Deck chairs out lads, heres the spot,
a spanking panoramic view.
The soil here is silk,
the air is SELECTIVE!

"Whose lungs shall I fill with my glorious vapours?
Whose lungs shall I fill with my glory?"

HELP!!!

The air turns black
The birds drop from the sky
This eagle has landed
I'm choking on your pride

But the walls are closing in

There's no use waiting for the storm to blow over
Leap into the lightning

Leap into the lightning

Build your cities on the slopes of Etna
Feed your soul on volcanic soil
Steer your ships into the Bermuda Triangle

It's your future
And its gonna change
everything
System meltdown

Stand up. How we gonna get through this alive?
Its not too late, Its not too late
How we gonna get out this alive?

Go tell all your friends
That this is the end
Go tell all your friends
That this is the end
Go tell all your friends
That this is the end
This is the end

Drip, drip, drop, bit by bit,
it’s the dulcet sound of the glacial melt
Accompanied by the Beluga,
singing about the hand they’ve been dealt.
The Emperor and the Arctic Fox listen intently.

"I’m beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life,"
he says, meaning misfortune.

And I'm thinkin' what's the deal?
With the facts that they conceal.
And I'm thinkin' what's the harm
In a bit of rhetoric encharm

And I can't quite comprehend
A beginning or an end
No I can't quite stomach this

Where's your respect? (Where's your respect?)
Why bite the hand that feeds you
It's not over yet not over yet (not over yet)
Plenty more fingers for you to nibble
I'd like to see you get your teeth round this
I'm sure your jaw will surely be missed

Not even salt can make your hands taste good

And you'd better be yourself
yourself tastes better
better than pieces of your heart

And you'd better be yourself
yourself tastes better
better than pieces of your heart

Let this battle commence, one last time
Let this battle commence, one last time
Let this battle commence, one last time
(And I hope for your sake, that you're on our side)
Let this battle commence, one last time
(And I hope for your sake, that you're on our side)

Look what you've done to yourself

Hid behind closed eyes
There is something you should know

Ohhh

Subject to conditional falls
Cause we're squatting in a system that Consistantly stalls
Don't be fooled into thinking that a small Group of friends

Продать все, что есть и занять у соседа
Собрать чемодан и отправиться в путь
Пора убежать от каждодневного бреда
Давно уже время пришло отдохнуть

Там волны на море. Напряги в игноре
Подружки и пиво, нам всё будет впрок
Спугнём алкоголем суету, грусть и горе

We've got the technology to move forward
We've got the knowledge and the means, to build upstream
We've got the technology to go faster
We've got the passion and the talent to make this real
But we're so fucking adaptable, controvertible, ducking and weaving from the truth
If it adds weight to the content of our pockets
We'll sit and stagnate with banks and use rockets
To oversee that it's our bottom line that gets carried to the high seas

I torture rock stars with pliers
They're so stock, it wouldn't be a shock
If I open them up to see wires
I destroy all amplifiers
People climbing over bodies like spiders
I'm on stage with a face like a sack of screwdrivers

And it's gonna be a show stop, road block

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write for a better day

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark

My heart beats and my head is thunderous
Those caught in the Rat Race plunder us
They know what's best for us
They know what's best for us

Gotta keep up, gotta get ahead
Gotta go and get a job and work 'til I'm dead
They know what's best for us

You look like you
Rented a smile
From someone but you
Rented the wrong size

Take it back
You should take it back

It was score 22 days ago
since I carved you out of the finest pine
its now my quest to find
all the splinters you gave me that scar my mind
What would you rather be?
Hated and remembered?
or just forgotten?

I know that we're going to repeat history,
unless we sort this out.
I know that we've got to find something new,
something new.

Now my crew is 6 thousand millions strong,
that we're not learning from.
A history of conflict and violence,

Come and join the party leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down.
Nah nah nah cut this tension mate it's too much.

Situation volatile, seriously hostile
Breadwinners,
Soul searchers,
Fear merchants,

OH!
Here tonight I clock a thousand heads
Here to unite, through common dreads

So who’s with me?
OH!
Now who’s with me?
OH!

Scratch card glory
Or waist low pleasure?
Black eyes nose bleeds
Don't look back now
My white abode do you remember?
My white abode
But it's such a thrill to find out...

Scratch card glory, or waist-low pleasure?
Black eyes, nosebleeds, don't look back now
My white abode, do you remember my white abode?
But it's such a thrill, just to find out

Sorry, you're not
A winner
With the air so cold and a mind so bitter

Scratch card glory,
Waist low pleasure?
Black eyes nose bleeds, don't look back now
My white abode, do you remember?
My white abode,
But it's such a thrill just to find out...

Sorry you're not a winner

Scratch card glory or waist low pleasure?
Black eyes nose bleeds, don’t look back now
My white abode, do you remember? My white abode
But it’s such a thrill just to find out…
Sorry you’re not a winner, with the air so cold and a mind so bitter
What have you got to lose but false intentions and a life so pretentious?
I sweat, I ache.

Previous wars make billionaires out of millionaires,
Todays wars make trilionaires out of billionaires
Tomorrows wars will fuel generations of hate, generations of hate
I'm losing my grip on reality
I can not simply agree that we are civilised
Acting like this earth is infinite, is a chessboard of lies
That will generate, stalemate. It will generate stalemate

Previous wars made millionaires out of billionaires
Today's wars make trillionaires out of billionaires
Tomorrows wars will fuel generations of hate
Generations of hate

I'm losing my grip on reality,
I cannot simply agree that we are civilized
Acting like this Earth is infinite

Come!

If our own lives aren't directly affected,
then it don't need to be corrected
Our fucking gift is our ignorance
Yeah, we're really serious
As they're paying for deliverance
We shut ourselves from the outcries

There was a house in a field on the side of a cliff
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth
So they ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks
Now the house on the cliff is the wreckage on the rocks

There was a house in a field on the side of a cliff
And the waves crashing below were just said to be a myth
So they ignore the warnings from the ships in the docks

Go tell all your friends that this is the end
Go tell all your friends that this is the end
Go tell all your friends that this is the end
This is the end

I don't understand a word you're saying
What are the clouds running from?
There's something in the air tonight

This is an appeal to the struggling and striving
stakeholders of this planet, this floating rock we call Earth.
Alas, that means you.
That means everyone of your acquaintance,
every figure your eyes skim past in the street,
every charlatan still to defeat,
every tender face you find solace in -
now mimic the mindset William Wallace was in.

You provoke tears that stain
you control my face
you arrange it to show
a broken expression

I hate to be the bearer of bad news
As the cracks appear to run
But we'll meet again on better terms

We're trapped in the ribcage of a wilder beast.
Come join the feast.
Since the head is not attached on,
We'll eat our way out now

The orangutan is quite content, sipping its champagne.
The minotaur has lost its cool, it's time to start his rave.

Hold your horses
Steady now
Cos we're floating precariously
And therefore, furthermore premisely on tectonic plates

And everything we stand on
And everything we stand for
Is rather unstable right now

As one child is taught red on his mother's knee (The one true colour)
A neighbour is taught blue on his mother's knee (The one true colour)
With a fervour inherited (It will be subsequently delivered)
Ignore the spectrum

Dear whom it may concern
I feel as though I'm about to crash and burn
I think I'm falling and there's no return

As one child is taught red on his mother's knee - the one true colour
A neighbor is taught blue on his mother's knee - the one true colour
With a fervour inherited, it will be subsequently delivered
Ignore the spectrum

Dear whom it may concern,

I feel as though I'm about to crash and burn

So bitch
Line up by the leafless tree
Where everything dies and nothing grows
Hanging like moulding fruit
One last dance whilst you decompose
I've got the paddington spectacles
A black plague over all I admired
A physical breakthrough

Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight, the sights
Are you staying awake for the liftoff, tonight?
You'll never believe the sights tonight
The sights tonight

Mr. Magpie

And let there be life
One space, a universe.
Our world, born like a blind child
One confined habitat.

And asks the same questions that we ask.
And asks the same questions that we ask.

*spoken word*
Yes, axiomatic subject matter, executed with absolute lucidity.

We can't keep deferring action, only surviving by the skin of our teeth.
We can't keep deferring action, only surviving by the skin of our teeth.
We're sick of the same old story, tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.
We're sick of the same old story, tonight the motionless must vacate,

Ты можешь никогда не встретиться со мной,
For I am king
Ибо я – король.
And as we march into the storms eyes,
И пока мы маршируем навстречу шторму,
I find relief in the rain
Я чувствую облегчение во время дождя.

You might never meet me,
For I am King.
And as we march into the storms eyes,
I find relief in the rain.
I can hind as I lead my army,
Into certain death.

Eyes over you. [x2]

A naked eye conspires with fear
To form an idea
So destructive and insincere

Reared in the mind
But outside you'll find
That nature does not align

Shikari
Was third generation Aztec
His tribe accepting human reality
It was the basis of their ability to sustain with humble tranquillity
Civilisations encouraged religions which in turn introduced depravity
And that was a bigger realisation as when my boy Newton discovered gravity
Because it transformed the way we bounce about
On a daily basis, were content with a doubt about the knowledge of who’s out there

I'm gonna paste you up, cover you in wallpaper
Screw shelves into you and call you a wall
That's all you are to me, trying to keep people inside
Inside your sordid little house
This is no white abode
You can have skirting board shoes and plug sockets on your knees
I'll hang a painting on your lip
And put tinsel 'round it at Christmas

And with these humble tools
We can trigger any emotion we choose
But we'll just settle to pump out repeated relics diluted with time

You see the airwaves are clogged up
But the fickle they, lap it up
They need to be drowned in condiments
And left to Ponder Sense

And with these humble Tools
We can trigger any Emotion we choose
But we´ll Just settle to Pump out Repeated Relics
Diluted with Time
You see the Airways are clogged up
But the Fickle they lap it up
They Need to be drowned in Condiments
And left to Ponder Sense

And what comes next?
A chance to save ourselves?

Imagine magma encrusted in rock
And on the surface of this world, all eyes are on the clock
Cos all our empires, our philosophies, our practiced faiths, our revolutions
our proud sciences, are but a flicker in one day of the lives of the stars.

And what comes next
A chance to save ourselves
Imagine magma encrusted in rock
And on the surface of this world
All eyes are on the clock
All our empires, our philosophies
Our practiced faiths, our revolutions
Our proud sciences are but a flickering

And we'll grip each other tight
in this desolate canteen
That sells life at a price
that i am not prepared to pay

So go ahead and shoot us
it will only take one bullet
go ahead and shoot us

Mate! I'm zonked absolutely spent
I think I'm gonna give up my eyes for lent
I'll use my sockets to stock stones instead
And with an icy cold stare I'll hide bones in your bed

Mate! Please accept this invitation
So I can take you away
