Greatest Bits
Lyrics
I’m not sleeping, ’cause my ghosts are out tonight
And I’m not leaving ’cause I caught myself in sight
Gentle murder and my veins are pumping black
Black shot eyes, see truth out of the facts.
As you can see,
I can’t go back, can’t go back
I’m not dying, ’cause the curse ain’t over yet
And I’m not trying, just trying to forget
Desperate docile and deranged, the label not so strange.
Indecision, protection from forbidden change
As you can see,
It’s all arranged, all arranged
Thirst for freedom, drives you away
Hunger for life keeps you astray
Lyrics
WELL GOOD DAY! HOW ARE YOU?
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DO?
SHAKE MY HAND BUT DON’T DIG DEEPER
DON’T SAY; I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOU!
CAN YOU SEE MY POINT OF VIEW?
WILL YOU LISTEN TO MY STORY?
I CAN CUT MYSELF IN TWO
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE FULL LENGTH PICTURE
I’VE BEEN SURFING ON THE MOON
AND I JUMPED RIGHT THROUGH THE CLOUDS
AND IF THE TIDE COMES IN TOO SOON
I’LL TEACH YOU TO BREATH WITH YOUR EYES
AND IF YOU FLOAT LIKE A BALLOON
AND YOUR NEURONS COINCIDE
MIDNIGHT WILL SHOWER YOU WITH NOON
SIMPLY TO TEST YOUR SOFT DISGUISE
SHOW ME YOUR NAKED EYES
RAIN WILL FALL FROM PREGNANT SKIES
BE MY FRIEND OR BE MY SLAVE
THERE’S A PRICE ON EVERY FACE
SELL YOUR FAITH OR BUY YOUR SOUL
WE ALL END UP IN UNMARKED GRAVES
CHORUS
Double speed solo
WHAT I THINK CAN BE QUITE STRANGE
LIVES UNUSED TO LAPSING FREEDOM
EVERYTHING CAN BE ARRANGED
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LOOSE YOUR REASON
SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER, CLAPPING HANDS
UNDERNEATH THE BLASTING BAND
HOLD ON TO THE BITTER END
WILL THE STRANGERS UNDERSTAND?
CHORUS
Lyrics
CATAPULT INTO YOUR HEAD A LITTLE DESPERATION
DECIMATE WHAT YOU CAN’T HAVE AND SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION
RELOCATE INTO THE FUTURE, DELAPIDATE WITH PAPER STONES
CONTEMPLATE YOUR SURROUNDING WITH SENSITIVITY
THESE ARE THE JOKES LIFE PLAYS ON ME
YOU MUST BE SICK SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE BETTER
YOU MUST BE NORMAL SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE
YOU MUST BE POOR SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE RICHER
YOU MUST BE DEAD SO YOU CAN FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
COMMUNICATE YOUR ENDLESS NEED FOR EMANCIPATION
DISTRIBUTE YOUR TREASURED KEY AN OPEN DISSERTATION
YOU COUNT THE STEPS TO THE TOP OF VEGETABLE KINGDOM
DECORATE YOUR HAIRY BRAIN WITH SENSITIVITY
THESE ARE THE JOKES LIFE PLAYS ON ME
YOU MUST BE SICK SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE BETTER
YOU MUST BE NORMAL SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE
YOU MUST BE POOR SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE RICHER
YOU MUST BE DEAD SO YOU CAN FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
CELEBRATE THE CONFRONTATION OF COMFORT AND OF PASSION
SOAKING UP TRANQUILITY PANIC WITHOUT RATION
Lyrics
DOCILE, IN THE FACE OF DESPERATION
FAKE SMILE, OF THE REVELATION SIGH
CONFRONTATION, AND ISOLATION
IS WHAT YOU MUST DENY
PLASTIC, THE RELATION WITH OURSELVES
FRANTIC, RACING TO THE DAY WE DIE
CONFRONTATION AND ISOLATION
IS WHAT YOU MUST DENY
CASTING ALL THE SANCTURIES
‘CAUSE YOU CAN’T DREAM A FANTASY WITH ME
I CAN TASTE OUR TREASURED TIME
BUT YOU WON’T BE MINE. PLEASE DON’T BE MINE
CRIPPLED, BY THE THOUGHT OF SELF SURVIVAL
RIPPLED WATER CALM BEFORE GOODBYE
INSULATION AND AGGRAVATION
IS WHAT YOU MUST DENY
CASTING ALL THE SANCTURIES
‘CAUSE YOU CAN’T DREAM A FANTASY WITH ME
I CAN TASTE OUR TREASURED TIME
BUT YOU WON’T BE MINE. PLEASE DON’T BE MINE
SOLO + VERSE CYCLE
CASTING ALL THE SANCTURIES
‘CAUSE YOU CAN’T DREAM A FANTASY
LEAVING ALL YOU WANT TO PLEASE
AND I WILL END UP ON MY KNEES
CRAVING FOR THE REVERIES
AND YOU WON’T DREAM A FANTASY
I CAN TASTE OUR TREASURED TIME
BUT YOU WON’T BE MINE. PLEASE DON’T BE MINE
Lyrics
Hello, it’s me
I never meant to let you go
Hello it’s me
I know you’re not supposed to know
Every time that your soul is bleeding
Every time that you feel afraid
Hello it’s me
Time is faster than this story
Hello it’s me
I want to scream but you can’t hear
Every time the black tide grabs you
Wrap my wings around your face
Hello it’s me
Hello it’s me
Waiting for eternity
Hello it’s me
I never meant to be so absent
Hello it’s me
Can’t wipe away that wide-eyed stare
Every time, our souls divided
‘till the next time we collide
Hello it’s me
Hello it’s me
Wishing for reality
Hello it’s me
I have no choice but to let go
Hello it’s me
Don’t need the flowers to let me know
Lyrics
Realise that it must hide
So it can grow to be real strong
Fantasize about the hope
That it can live beneath the skin
And the serpent coils itself into a ring
Chorus
Every clear sky has a storm
Every straight line has a curve
Making sure that you are warned
Making sure that you are first
Every looser has his day
Every winner is a slave
Making sure that you are next
Cursing all you need to stretch
Indicate your need to breathe
And your obsession is to live
Concentrate a weary sigh
My fascination is to die
And you curse my fate but I still have to try
(Chorus)
Destiny is an avenging word
When the truth you face is too absurd
And peace of mind is out of reach
You turn wishes into nightmares
With the future and the past caught in your hair
And peace of mind is out of reach
And I curse myself but I’ll just have to teach
(Chorus)
And Every looser
And every winner
Every Soldier
And every saint
And every Lover
Every fighter
And everyone
Always looking for your peace of mind

Lyrics
A MAD MAN JITTERS HIS PRAISE
AS THE EBONY OF NIGHT FALLS SHORT OF REASON
A SAD MAN LOOSES HIS FACE
AS THE IVORY OF LIGHT CLIMBS FROM THE SEASON
I WANT TO SING YOUR SONGS OF BREATHING
I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BE BRAVE
A POOR MAN TREASURES HIS SPACE
AS THE MALICIOUS HANDS OF LIFE SLUMP TO HIS GRAVE
A RICH MAN SUFFERS HIS RACE
AS THE FEROCIOUS FICTION FRONTLINE IS NOT SAVED
I WANT TO SING YOUR SONGS OF BREATHING
I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BE BRAVE
A SONG FOR YOU, A SONG FOR ME, A SONG FOR FREEDOM
I WANT TO SING YOU SONGS OF BREATHING
A SONG FOR US, A SONG FOR THEM, A SONG FOR LEAVING
I WANT TO SING YOU SONGS OF BREATHING
A SICK MAN HIDES HIS DISGRACE
AS THE HANDS OF DIVINE LIES REST ON HIS DAYS
AN OLD MAN TOUCHES HIS FACE
AS HE DISCOVERS HIS OLD DREAMS STORED OUT TO GRAZE

Lyrics
Endless horizons stretches out before my eyes
There is no contemplation only a search for paradise
But in the strangest places find the gates of hell or the wisdom of the wise
And it’s all on the way, all in a trip, nothing to find
When your destiny keeps on finding you
‘cause I picked it up on the way
Everything I heard on the way
Everyone I hurt, everything I did, everyone I loved on the way
As the limits of consciousness get stretched beyond your mind
And the culprits of innocence are the ones you never find
But it’s the freedom beautiful freedom
That looses you, and finds you when it wants you
But it’s never too late to liberate and demonstrate
That there’s nothing that could be holding you
‘cause you picked it up on the way
Everything you heard on the way
Everyone you hurt, everything you did, everyone you loved on the way
All the things you trust on the way
All the truth you find on the way
All the things that hurt, all the bubbles burst, all the friends you lost on the way
You can find another self
Best before you break the spell
Never knew it could be true
Yet another home from home
Another little comfort zone
All the things you do when you’re the move
‘cause you picked it up on the way
Everything you heard on the way
Everyone you hurt, everything you did, everyone you loved on the way
All the things you trust on the way
And the scars I’m wearing today
Lyrics
I’M SHAKING THESE RAINDROPS FROM MY ARMOUR
DRIPPING ON YOUR PERSIAN RUG
SLIPPING THE GUN FROM ITS WARM BLACK HOLSTER
CLEANING THE BLADE RUN OUT OF LUCK
DOYOU CARE?
DO YOU DARE?
THE KILLER A STRANGER TO DECEIVE
SO EASY TO CREATE UNEASE
NOW COMES THE SHAKEDOWN
WASH OFF THE BLOOD
FACE UP TO THE GUILTS OF CRIME
REMOVE THE SLUG———————
I’M SHAKING THE COBWEBS FROM YOUR CEILING
DROPPING THEM ON YOUR MIRROR VIEW
SLAPPING SOME PAINT ON THE CHIPS AND CRACKS
HURLING THE SHADDOWS ONTO YOU
DO YOU CARE?
DO YOU DARE?
THE KILLER A STRANGER TO DECEIVE
SO EASY TO CREATE UNEASE.
NOW COMES THE SHAKEDOWN
WASH OFF THE BLOOD
FACE UP TO THE GUILTS OF CRIME
REMOVE THE SLUG——————————-\
SOLO
SMOULDERING ASHES FALL FROM GRACE
HANDING THE MATCHES TO CONFESS
WASHING THE PETROL ON MY UGLY FACE
WATCHING THE FIRE DO THE REST
DO YOU CARE?
DO YOU DARE?
THE KILLER A STRANGER TO DECEIVE
SO EASY TO CREATE UNEASE
NOW COMES THE SHAKEDOWN
WASH OFF THE BLOOD
FACE UP TO THE GUILTS OF CRIME
REMOVE THE SLUG
Lyrics
EAGLE SOAR, EAGLE FLY
EAGLE WILL REFUSE TO DIE
EAGLE SOAR, EAGLE CRY
EAGLE SEES ALL FROM THE SKY
IN THE COLD DESERT WIND
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
SPREAD YOUR WINGS
EAGLE DANCE, EAGLE CALLS
EAGLE GLIDE INTO YOUR SOUL
EAGLE SCREAM, EAGLE CALLS
EAGLE WILL REFUSE TO FALL
FEATHERED DREAM BE MY FRIEND
‘TILL THE END
‘TILL THE END
EAGLE DREAM, EAGLE SIGH
EAGLE WILL REFUSE TO DIE
EAGLE SOAR, EAGLE CRY
EAGLE WILL BE CRUCIFIED, REFUSED TO DIE,
BE CRUCIFIED
Lyrics
MY ATOM MOTHER SEARCHED THE LIGHT
I WAS READY FOR THE FIGHT
THE LANDSCAPE TOOK THE BEST OF ME
PRIDE MAINTAINED MY DIGNITY
SEND ME OUT ON A BED OF NAILS
MAKE ME SEARCH FOR THE LIGHT NO MORE
ALL THE ANSWERS ARE IN DISGUISE
AND MANY SURPRISES ARE IN STORE
THE WIND CALLED OUT UPON MY NAME
TO SORT OF SEARCH MY BRAIN IN VAIN
MY EYES WERE EMPTY MY MOVES INSANE
DON’T LET ME BE LIKE A DROP IN THE RAIN
I NEED TO STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET
THINK ABOUT BEING BETTER THAN THE EASY MEAT
THE MOTOR HAS SEIZED AND THE PETROL RUN DRY
I’M ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF AND I DON’T KNOW WHY
I’ VE WALKED THE EMPTY PATHS OF LIFE
SEARCHING FOR MEANING IN THE CONFUSION
I SAW RAW SHINING LIGHTS
PURE DELUSION OF MY DIFFUSION
TORMENTED CREATURES WITH OPEN EYES
AS BLIND AS FURY AS PLAIN AS LIES
PRESENT IN TIME THAT ALWAYS WINS
AT THE FINISH LINE WHO WINS THE PRIZE
I NEED TO STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET
THINK ABOUT BEING BETTER THAN THE EASY MEAT
THE MOTOR HAS SEIZED AND THE PETROL RUN DRY
I’M ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF AND I DON’T KNOW WHY
I NEED TO STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET
THINK ABOUT BEING BETTER THAN THE EASY MEAT
THE MOTOR HAS SEIZED AND THE PETROL RUN DRY
I’M ON THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF AND I DON’T KNOW WHY
Lyrics
STOOD ON A HILL, TO WATCH THE SUN DIE, ALONE
WATER STOOD STILL, AND I WAS THE RIVER, ALONE
AND THE ANGELS TUMBLED DOWN
AND THE CREATURES UNDERGROUND
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
I NEED YOU WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND
THE MONGRELS IN THEIR FEATHERED SINS
CHECKING IN WITH BROKEN WINGS
FORGOT TO PLAY, TIME A CHAIN AROUND MY HEAD, ASTRAY
I HEARD YOU SAY, AND THE BREAD BECAME A VIPER, ASTRAY
AND THE DEMONS PLAYED THE GAME
AND THE PEOPLE GREW INSANE
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
I NEED YOU WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
AND THE SUN KEEPS GOING DOWN
THE MONGRELS IN THEIR FEATHERED SkINS
CHECKING IN WITH BROKEN WINGS
Disco SOLO
SHOW ME YOUR HAND, AND THE COLOUR OF YOUR WISDOM, FOREVER
FEEL BURNING SAND, AND THE DISCOMFORT OF YOUR FREEDOM, FOREVER
AND THE ANGELS TUMBLED DOWN
AND THE CREATURES UNDERGROUND
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
I NEED YOU WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
AND THE SUN KEEPS GOING DOWN
THE MONGRELS IN THEIR FEATHERED SINS
CHECKING IN WITH BROKEN WINGS
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
I NEED YOU WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND
SO GOD’S ON STRIKE AGAIN
AND THE SUN KEEPS GOING DOWN
Lyrics
In a crowded room of behaviour
As the silence deafens the words
Spirit searching the saviour
As we tumble into Absurd
Thoughts and dreams in our favour
With a lasting scream we repulse
As the madness creeps through the layers
Do we get what we deserve?
Inside out
Capture the falling of praises
Leaving belief in a trap
Raising above all the craze
As you turn your head inside out
What you expect is not what you know
What you forget is watching you grow
Nothing is simple nothing is real
Beneath this layer you don’t want to peel
Inside out
Open the gate that leads to the garden
Always too late to lock it all up
The colours remain spreading to stain
As all the nightmares step out
The linear concept a failure
Time is eternally trapped
In the paradox of existence
Round is the dial of the clock
Inside out
Run to the hole, the hole in your head
Energy sucking the monsters is fed
Inside out
Lyrics
It’s the summer of your life
Life of winter nights
As the light of day must pass
Like the shining in your eyes
All the sadness you despise
Washed away
It’s the voice that talks to you
At the darkest hour
The one that gets you through
The Brimstone and the fire
And there’s no one left to blame
When it’s all washed away
It’s the burning of your star
Crashing with intent
And you’ll need to travel far
When the beginning is the end
Like the shipwreck of your dreams
Washed away
And when madness comes to you
In the brightest hour
Nothing left to hold on to
Freedom and desire
And there’s nothing left to say
Washed away
