1. Computer God

Waiting for the revolution New clear vision - genocide Computerize god - it’s the new religion Program the brain - not the heartbeat

Onward all you crystal soldiers Touch tomorrow - energize Digital dreams And you’re the next correction Man’s a mistake so we’ll fix it, yeah

Take a look at your own reflection Right before your eyes It turns to steel

[Chorus:] There’s another side of heaven This way - to technical paradise Find it on the other side When the walls fall down

Love is automatic pleasure Virtual reality Terminal hate - it’s a calculation Send in the child for connection

Take a look at the toys around you Right before your eyes The toys are real

[Chorus]

Midnight confessions Never heal the soul What you believe is fantasy

Your past is your future Left behind Lost in time Will you surrender

Waiting for the revolution Program the brain Not the heartbeat

Deliver us to evil Deny us of our faith Robotic hearts bleed poison On the world we populate

Virtual existence With a superhuman mind The ultimate creation Destroyer of mankind

Termination of our youth For we do not compute No !

2. After All (The Dead)

What do you say to the dead Will you forgive me for living Can’t believe the things that they said Wonderful day for a killing It’s killing me

What do they do with your soul Is it just lying there busted When did you lose all control Is there someone to be trusted With my mind

Oh there’s insufficient evidence Of what just might come after But sometimes out of nowhere There’s demented sounds of laughter

Are we all haunted by The ghost - imagination It just can’t be I’ve seen them there Howling at the moon

Is it just me Or does somebody else believe this Well I’m not alone And I’m not afraid There’s just one way to see

[Chorus:] After all

What do you say to the dead Is there a place where it’s burning It says in a book I once read Yes there’s a chance of returning Turn to me

The fundamental principles Say nothing of forever But those are voices that I hear Or I’m just not so clever

It can’t be me I know somebody else believes this Well I’m not alone I’m not afraid Just one way to see

After all

3. TV Crimes

One day in the life of the lonely Another day on the round about What do they need Somebody to love

One night in the life of the lonely There’s a miracle on the screen What did they see Somebody to love

He guarantees you instant glory Get your money on the line

Gotta send me a plastic Jesus There’s a check in the mail today That’s what I need Somebody to love

We just won’t eat on Sunday Gotta buy him a limousine Somewhere to live Somewhere to pray

Every penny from the people Keeps the wolf outside the door Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself But he’ll give you more, yeah

[Chorus:] Holy father, holy ghost Who’s the one who pays the most Rock the cradle don’t you cry Buy another lullaby

Jack is nimble, Jack is quick Pick your pocket, turn a trick Slow and steady, he’s got time To commit another TV crime TV crime

One day in the life of the lonely Back again on the round about What do they need Somebody to love

Yeah

One night in the life of the lonely Another miracle on the screen What did they see Somebody to love again

A supermarket of salvation Take a look inside the store Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself But he gives more

Holy father - holy ghost Who’s the one who hurts you most Rock the cradle when you cry Scream another lullaby

Jack be nimble, Jack be slick Take the money, get out quick Slow and steady, so much time To commit another TV Crime, TV Crime

4. Letters From Earth

Well it’s a cold world And I’m in the middle Caught in the in-between

I don’t belong here So I’m writing to you It’s wrong here Where I’m sending you some

[Chorus:] Letters from earth, yeah

Well it’s a new world And now I’m a stranger Stranger than you know

I don’t belong here And I’m writing to you With blood on my hands

What if I send you madness What if I send you pain And letters from earth, ooh All right

Come on it’s another game But you gotta play on Cause they say it’s just pretend Ask them why they say you’ll never, never die Come on - the game is called the end

Well it’s a cold world And I’m in the middle Caught in the in-between

I don’t belong here So I’m writing to you Hey let me explain

What if I send you confusion What is the time and the pain worth Oh no no I’m only sending - Letters from the earth

Letters from earth

5. Master Of Insanity

Look all around Can’t you open your eyes Voices are calling

Killing rain falling down from the sky Crying with nightmare tears

Out on the street You’ll see blood on the ground Cities are burning

Feeling the pain cutting right to your soul Goodbye now You’re caught in his spell

Your freedom is gone He’s taken everything You ever had But if you’re strong you’ll survive You’ve got to hold on Open your eyes

[Chorus:] Behind the lies you will see The master of insanity Under the mask there will be The master of insanity

Innocent minds They’re the victims of shame Staring in sorrow

Promises lying there Broken and crushed Confusion-just disappear

What can you give To be left all alone When there’s nothing at all

Your freedom is gone He’s taken everything You ever had But if you’re strong you’ll survive You’ve got to hold on Open your eyes

[Chorus]

Behind the lies you will find He’s trying to get inside you Just open your eyes and you will see The master of insanity

[Chorus]

Between the lies you will find that he’s trying to get inside you Out of the night into your mind He’s always right beside you

Yeah, between the lies you will see The master of insanity Open your eyes or you will be The master of insanity

6. Time Machine

Oh what are you gonna do When there’s a part of you That needs to run with the wind

And the fire of burning yesterdays Can only light the way To lead you from The garden of the dark Stay out of shadows

Now look like the change is on Tomorrow’s never gone Today just never comes

Go on and jump,yeah Into the hurricane You will forger the pain It’s only there To exorcise your mind

Looking at the world When you’ve open up your eyes You’ve got to see the promises they’ve made They’re bloody lies and broken dreams Your silence screams

[Chorus:] You’re living in a time machine And you can choose just who you are Someone that you’ve never seen Somewhere you’ve never been You’re living in a time machine

Oh what are you gonna do When every part of you Just needs to catch the wind

And the fire of burning yesterdays Can only light the way To lead you from The garden of the dark

Looking for the world When you’ve opened up your eyes You’ll see you’ve got invisible chains They’re only lies Not what it seems I hear your silent screams

[Chorus:] You’re living in a time machine Nobody cares just where you go Taken where you’ve never been Vacate to somewhere you don’t know.

You’re living in a time machine Why do you stay who you are Be what you’ve never been Someone you’ve never seen You’re living in a time machine Yeah

7. Sins Of The Father

I am the crazy man Who lives inside your head But I think I’m breaking through the wall

You are the innocent Convicted of the crime No one was ever there To catch you when you fall

I see the diamonds But you only see the rock I need to run But you only crawl

It’s time to open up All the doors that you keep locked Nobody gives without a take Let’s take it all

[Chorus:] You’ve been twisted into pieces By the hands of your emotions How much longer are you gonna pay For yesterday Sins of the father

One more crucifixion One more cross to bear You’re a hole in a photograph

Go on - lose it in the city The city can feel no shame See the world with electric eye

They call it mystery But any fool could see You thought he walked on the water

And if the pain was gone And you were free to run away And get out

Would you get out of there Or do you really care It’s not safe or easy And maybe when you’re gone You just won’t belong at all

[Chorus:] You’re the only witness To the murder of an angel How much longer are you gonna pay For yesterday Sins of the father

It’s just another crucifixion One more cross to bear Go on lose it in the city Take a look at the world You’ve got electric eyes

8. Too Late

Soon it’s never more When you’ve got to pay for Promises - made in the night

Call the magic one And with the magic comes Forever chained to the flame

[Chorus:] It’s too late Too late for tears Too late And no one hears you Do you feel a touch of evil (then) It’s too late

To wish and make it so To feel the power growing Stronger - blessed by the dark

And when the candle fades You can say it was a Joke you played So you must let me go - no

[Chorus:] It’s too late You’ve said the word Too late Something heard you Too late - now the race is on And you’re run out of road Too late For tears Too late And no one hears you Can you feel the touch of evil It’s too late

Oh oh oh save me I believe in your name Oh oh I’ve fallen down But now I’ve found Nobody to take the blame

Misery It’s come to drag me away And when the hunter cries No alibis Get ready for judgment day

As the candle fades You can say it was a game you made So you must let me go, let me go

It’s too late - you’ve said the word Too late - something heard you Too late - the spell is gone And this time you’re the fool

It’s too late for tears Too late And no one hears you Welcome to forever Welcome it’s too late Too late

9. I

I am anger Under pressure Lost it cages A prisoner The first to escape

I am wicked I am legion Strength in numbers A lie The number is one

[Chorus:] I - I - I Everything that I see is for me

Yes, I am giant I’m a monster Breaking windows In houses Buildings of glass Rebel rebel Holy outlaw Ride together Don’t try it The power’s in one

[Chorus:] I - I - I I am standing alone But I can rock you I - I - I

On the edge of the blade But the knife can’t cut the hero down

I am virgin I’m a whore Giving nothing The taker The maker of war I’ll smash your face in But with a smile All together You’ll never Be stronger than me

[Chorus:] I - I - I Right here on my own But I still rock you I - I - I Don’t follow behind Just leave me on the outside

I - I - I I am standing alone But I can shock you I - I - I On the edge of the blade But no one makes the hero bleed ( No, no , no )

I am hunger Feed my head All together You’ll never Never make the hero bleed ( No, no, no )

10. Buried Alive

Once upon a nightmare Once upon a time You’re running from temptation You got lost And found that you don’t

Belong to anybody You’re all the same Just another number Cross it out Whenever you don’t behave

Someone got the doctor He knows what to do Throw some bones and mumble The devil’s inside of you

It might be contagious It might change the plan Get back in your tiny boxes Even if you can’t We say you can

Join the congregation Everybody’s got to get in line and We never justify The choir sings a never-ending lie

[Pre-chorus:] When you thought you were free You didn’t need a reason No reason to survive

[Chorus:] As the big door closes And you waiting for the nail Somebody tell the world You’re buried alive

Once upon a nightmare Once upon a time You’re running from tomorrow You got lost And found that another Day has turned to ashes Taken by the wind Frozen seeds of sorrow Never to begin

Join the celebration And everybody’s got to get in line and We never justify The choir sings a never-ending lie

[Pre-chorus:] When you thought you were free You did not need a reason No reason to survive

[Chorus:] As the big door closes And you waiting for the mail Somebody tell the world You’re buried alive

One more nightmare Just one more time Join the congregation Everybody get in line

Celebration The choir sings a lie As you call The hammer falls And no one hears you cry I’m buried alive
