I'll Stick Around

I thought i knew
all it took to bother you
every word i said was true
and that you'll see

How could it be
i'm the only one who sees
your rehearsed insanity Yeah

I still refused
all the methods you abused
it's alright if you're confused
let me be

I've been around
all the pawns you've gagged and bound
they'll come back and knock you down
and I'll be free

I've taken all and i've endured
one day this all will fade im sure

I don't owe you anything (X4)

I had no hand
in your ever desperate plan
it returns and when it lands
words are due

I should have known
we were better off alone
I looked in and I was shown
you were too

I've taken all and I've endured
One day this all will fade i'm sure

I don't owe you anything

I'll stick around
I'll stick around
and learn from all that came from it

Big Me

Alone + Easy Target

they knew all along
they're not dumb, they were so wrong
she's not always fun
hate it now, call when I'm done

pieces fell in place
puzzles suck, laugh in my face
turn and swing the pace
I'll give this, keep the good waist

head is on
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target
metronome
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target

crazy t.v. dreams might be true
not what it seems
food and cavitys, chewing words
tear at the seams
he don't feel so good, don't feel bad
not that he should
i don't feel so good, don't feel bad
not that i should

did you ever listen?
get out.

Good Grief

since I'm putting down all
of the true things around but I like it
I handed down the crown
given the jewels and the answers of may
the thought of being ousted comes and goes, comes and goes
when I think about it the wind blows
I hate it

run me out of town
somewhere a move might intended a gown at
pissed at all the bowels
always the blues and a delicate smile
missed all of the sideways
gull and noun
chills and petty band-aids
wrapped around
I hate it

good grief

since I'm putting down all
of the true things around but I like it
I handed down the crown

Up

Oh, George

the train that I got onto up and left that town
threw it up as it went down
strange enough it left me rude and turned around
watched as they all took their vow

fools were drawing trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway

phase it out until the older ones return
have a seat and watch it burn
trace around the corner this is what I've learned
always waited for my turn

fools were drawing trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway

Weenie Beenie

I'm molasses hung in rent
read a sponsor one shot no post-show
tear it off, but not a lot, it's not enough to debate

as if you blame
real and stagnate
big shit no shit
tear it off, but not a lot, only so much you can take

some try that hit
beast and mud lead
big shit no shit
tear it off, but not a lot, only so much you can take

as if you blame

big shit no duh
tear it off, but not a lot, it's not enough to debate

X-Static

leading everything along
never far from being wrong
nevermind these things at all
it's nothing

couldn't find a way to you
seems that's all I ever do
turning up in black and blue
rewarded

all static we all left

wait until the time has come
figure that's where time comes from
leaving all my senses numb
is heaven

lifted up the fay to seen
anything could never be
anything but play to me
in order

all static we all left

take it back for them to keep
fallen into something deep
not that I had made that leap
annointed

all static we all left

where have all the wishes gone
now that all of that is done
wish I would've felt I've won
for once

For All The Cows

I'm called a cow
I'm not about
to blow it now
for all the cows

It's funny how
money allows
all to browse
and be endowed
the wish is true
it falls into
pieces new the cow is you
the cow is you

my kind has all run out
as if kinds could blend
some time if time allows
everything worn in
everything worn in
everything worn in like it's a friend

I said you're all
a painted doll
and it caused
the walls to fall
how far is he?
impatiently
thats as far as far could be

Exhausted

I'm not around that much
running exhausted and lost
if it could be undone
will it have costed?
it's taught and lost

blowing away we stray, wilted
insulted, at fault
what if the day had stayed in bed
these baubles we've brought
at fault

after the bliss has long ended
this caution this fault
give me a breeze that's long winded
accosted adult arrested

Watershed

stick it to the mailman
pinned against a pot plant
sick of all the sun-tan
oily with the ray-ban

take that to the bank and call it a check
masked without a weapon

skinny as a spit pan
dealing with the shit plan
playing with my bad hand
just another rock band

take that to the man
and call it a check
trapped within a contract

hey there boy while you were catching the black widow
rest of us were watching melrose

I wanna swim in the wattershed
I wanna listen to the flowerhead
I lost a gallon and still I bled
I keep on thinking I get ahead

I was pissin' on my disc jam
pissed about the 5-ham
pissed about the green state
miss it and I can't wait

take that to the man
and call it a check
trapped within a contract

hey man can't you tell it's still a problem?
see you at devil's tower

I wanna swim in the wattershed
I wanna listen to the flowerhead
I lost a gallon and still I bled
I keep on thinking I get ahead

I was pissin' on my disc jam

Monkey Wrench

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge
One in ten, one in ten
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end
One in ten, one in ten
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit
Into my head I still remember every single word
You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench

Hello, Johnny Park!

Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruise's colours
Ecerything fades in time, it's true.
Wish that I had another stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you.
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I selling you out
Sit and watch
Your every mood, mood
Your eyes still remind me of angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I sellin' you out
Sit and watch
Your every mood, mood, mood, mood
Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before I'd share a piece of mine with you.
It's impossible
I can't let it out
You'll never know
Am I sellin' you out
Sit and watch
Your every mood, mood, mood, mood

My Poor Brain

Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart
This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate
When you are so far I'm falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar
This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate
Sometimes I feel I'm getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck
You've got me on guard I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars
This is a black out
Don't let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate
Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can't save you from my poor brain
Brain
Brain
Brain O.K.

Wind Up

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
Spare me confession it's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind but I don't mind because I'll catch up
I want a song that's indelible Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
Will I be happy on the back of the shelf
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize that I get shy and I choke up
I want a song that's indelible Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animalI'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
Farewell my sweet paramania
Farewell my sweet paramania
My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet take the beating until
I take it all back anyway what was I supposed to say?
I want a song that's indelible Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Up In Arms

The rain is here and you, my dear,
Are still my friend
It's true the two of us are back as one again
I was the one who left you
Always coming back I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again
Together now I don't know how this love could end
My lonely heart it falls apart again
For you to mend
I was the one who left you
Always coming back I cannot forget you girl
Now I am up in arms again

My Hero

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

See You

These notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
how good it is to see you

See you

These steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm getting further from myself
One thing is always true
How good it is to see you

See you

I'm done resenting you
you represented me so well
and this I promise you
How could I end up in the hands of someone else?

These notes are marked return to sender
I'll save this letter for myself

Enough Space

I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That's when I found Lily
The best I've ever seen
Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems to be enough space

February Stars

hanging on
here until im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on

how was i to know you'd still show
one day ill have enough to get more
ill wait to hear your final call
hanging on
hanging on here until im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on
hanging on
here until im gone
right where i belong
just hanging on
even thoughpassed the time alone
soon we're so unknown
it heals the soul
you'll ask if the walls are building higher
we'll light the shadows of them all
i'd stand but they're much too usefull
and i fall
February stars!
Floating in the dark!
Temporary stars!

Everlong

Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red,
Out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me, down with me
Slow how, you wanted it to be,
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in
And now, I know you've always been out of your head,
Out of my head I sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say
When she sang
And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

Walking After You

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two,

New Way Home

Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long
I'm still trying to keep this time from running out
Head down, always moving on and on and on
I never heard this warning, another early morning
Takes me, wakes me into
If you could manage me, I'll try to manage you
But lately it's all I ever do
I felt like this on my way home, I'm not scared
I pass the boats and the Kingdom, I'm not scared
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I know these things must bore you but I can't find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holding
I love this leash that holds me, when I try to run away
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdom
I'm not scared, I felt like this on my way home

There Is Nothing Left to Lose

Stacked Actors

Oh mirror mirror, you're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed, what a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene
Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire, a wonderful liar
I think it's time we all should come clean
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey, hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah, but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes, your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe
See through, yeah but what do you do
When you're just another aging drag queen
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards all I want is the truth
Hey, hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey hey now, can you take it
And we cry when they all die blonde
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards all I want is the truth
Stack dead actors, stacked to the rafters
Line up all the bastards and we cry when they all die blonde
Hey, hey now, can you fake it
Can you make it look like we want
Hey, hey now, can you take it

Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off

Watching me crawl away

Learn To Fly

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
I think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything is alright
I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try and make this life my own
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone

Gimme Stitches

I can be your right of way
So we can get out of here
I'll always be the one who runs from everyone
Cause everyone's just too weird
Sink with someone tied to me
I'm making you volunteer
Another one has come and gone
They crawl along, make them disappear
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
Blood on you
Take another stab at me, I promise in time I'll heal
But yesterday went on and on a bit too long
I waited out on High Street
There's nothing to find out here
Another day has come and gone
They crawl along, wasting all these years
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Tired of wearing black and blue
Dress me up in stitches it's now or never
Dying to get my blood on you
How can you go on when you're murdering someone
Killing me like you do
Gimme stitches now or never
Gimme stitches now or never

Blood on you (x6)

Lately I'm getting better
Wish I could stay sick with you
But there's too many egos left to bruise
Call it sin, you can call it whatever
Eating deep inside of you
Well if it were me, it's all I'd ever do
Steal me now and forever
I'll steal something good for you
The criminal in me is no one new
Till you find something better
When there's nothing left to use
And everything starts going down on you
I'm the Generator, firing whenever you quit
Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it's on
Yeah can't you hear my motored heart
You're the one that started it
Send me out on a tether
Swing it round, I'll spin your noose
You let it downI'll hang around with you

Live-In Skin

Take your payroll
And your lottery
There's a place I know
There's a robbery
And I swear I'll never tell
If you swear you'll never tell
And we'll all make out so well
We will all make out so well
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
I'm amounted
Just the same old glitter story
From the sea floor
Metamorphosis
And I can't change back for you
I will not change back for you
I must live in skin that's new
I'm a livid skin that's new
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standing
And I demand that we all blend in
I'm amounted
Im amounted
Im amounted
Im amounted
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside in to the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again

Next Year

I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
I'll be coming home next year
Into the sun we climb
Climbing our wings will burn white
Everyone strapped in tight
We'll ride it out
I'll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
Into the night we shine
Lighting the way we glide by
Catch me if I get too high
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year
I'm in the sky tonight
There I can keep by your side
Watching the whole world wind around and round
I'll be coming home next year
Come on get on get on
Take it till life runs out
No one can find us now
Living with our heads underground
Ill be coming home next year
I'll be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
If I come down
I'll be coming home next year
Say good-bye now
Say good-bye now
Say good-bye now
Say good-bye now
Ill be coming home next year
Ill be coming home next year
Everything's alright up here
If I come down

Headwires

Have you been headwired
Were you satisfied
Did it free the feelings in your spine
Sleeping way inside all this time
Will you meet your mind where the night collides
Will you greet yourself when the sun arrives
I'll just stay behind, I've met mine
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Headwires now
Help you feed the wires when your head unwinds
And if our headlines become entwined
You can have all mine, I'll be fine
There's a reason why keeping me alive
There's a cure in me that I wish were mine
As long as I can fight, I'll survive
Tangled in your headwires now
Better than a bullet being fired
Tangled in your headwires
Stationed on the wire, one day I'll let go
Tell them all hello
Tell them all hello
Stationed on the wire, one day I'll let go
Tell them all hello
Tell them all hello
The sun is on Arlandria
The sun is on Arlandria, headwires
The sun is on Arlandria
The sun is on Arlandria, headwires
The sun is on Arlandria
The sun is on Arlandria, headwires

Ain't It the Life

Dear Hailey
Can you save me from the borrowed cloud I'm on
All you gotta do is try
Pray you're just getting by
Hey wait I thought you'd made it
How'd your bottled crown fall off
Tell me how'd you get so tired
Faded down to the wire
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting timeSo very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride
One day we all can say we're gone
And haunt the ground we're from
Everything's so open wide
Here within the divide
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time
Aint it the life
Aint it the life
Aint it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Aint it the life
Aint it the life
Aint it the life
Got no crime
Just sail on by
Sail on by
Aint it the life
Just sail on by
Try living a lie and kicking out the same old guise
Wasting time
Aint it the life
Aint it the life
Aint it the life
Got no crime

M.I.A.

Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down
Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down, cheap imitations
The revelation is now
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hit's the groundI'm good at escaping
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued (x6)
Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
So you don't find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Say good-bye to me I'm going MIA
I can find relief I'm going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb

Just Another Story About Skeeter Thompson

so we were in Amsterdam
and we were staying at this guy
Toss's house
good friend of ours
uhh
its kinda in the middle of the city
we were just finished with our
second European tour
and everything was going pretty good
Skeeter, he met this girl that lived
next door to Toss's
and within a couple of weeks he started
living with her, you know?
and i guess she had a lot of money or something
cause she was constantly buying him clothes
and getting him lots of stuff and loading him
with money, you know?
He was constantly going to the coffee shop
always getting the best herb and the best
hash, you know?
he was in good shape
she was really good looking, she was
really cool
i, i don't think he'd ever met her before
but she had, you know, other boyfriends i suppose
so i'm sitting on the couch, you know, in
Toss's apartment
and im reading, you know, maximum rock and
roll or flip side
one of those punk things
and i heard Skeeter come in
and he came in and he had all these really
nice clothes on
she bought him all this stuff
she like bought him cologne
he was really really smelling good, you know
he looked good too
you know he came in and put his herb
on the table and, whatever
i'm just reading my little punk magazine
not really paying attention
and then he says, uh, he says hey dave
and i look up
and he's standing there with his dick
in his hand
and he's kinda got it like lifted up so
he's looking at the head of his dick
he kinda pointed it at me
i didnt know what to think
he said does that look like pus to you
i said no i think its lint

There is a place I'd love to go
Strangers takin' me there
I dream about the day I learn to fly

I'm afraid of aeroplanes
Even though I act the way
that it feels to be a person in the sky

It's alright
and it's good
this time

I look out and on the ground
really don't believe it
gravity can pull me from this height

One day we'll come crashing down
What will I do
Never had a chance to say goodbye

Close my eyes and hope that it's
a real smooth flight
this time
Close my eyes and hope that it's
a real smooth flight

And it's good

Baker Street

winding you way down to baker street
light in your head and dead on your feet
well another crazy day
you'll drink the night away
and forget about everything

this city desert makes you feel so cold
its got so many people but its got no soul
and its taking you so long
to find out you were wrong
when you thought it held everything

you still think that it was so easy
you used to say that it was so easy
but you're trying, you're trying now

another year and then you'd be happy
just one more year and then you'd be happy
but you're crying you're crying now

way down the street there's a lad in his place
he opens the door
and hes got that look on his face
and he asks you were you've been
you ell him who you've seen
and you talk about anyting

he's got this dream about buying some land
he's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
and then he'll settle down
in some quite little town
and forget about everything

but you knwo he'll always keep moving
you know he's never gonna stop moving
cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stones

when you wake up its a new morning
the sun is shining its a new morning
you're going, your going' on

Dear Lover

Dear lover
Do you remember?
The sound of your laughter and demise
And that was all
I need to fall in love

This matter
It's something bigger
Anything ever graced my heart
And that was all
I could fall in love...with you
And I can't stall this now

Did you find some hapiness with me?
Now I know the way true love should be

Dear lover
Do you remember?
The beats of my heart that I gave you
And that was all
I need to fall in love

It shattered
Slipped through my fingers
Floated down safely into your hands
And that was all
I could fall in love...with you
I can't stall this now

the machine and play kill by numbers
down in the park with a friend called five
I was in a car crash or was it the war
but i never been quite the same
little white lies like I was there

come to tom-tom's the place to eat
like it was built in one day
you can wath the humans trying to run
oh look, there's a rape machine
i'd go outside if it'd look the other way
wouldn't believe the things they do

down in the park
where the chant is death, death, death
til' sun cries morning
down in the park with friends of mine
we are not lovers, we are not romantics
we are here to serve
different face but the words never change

Have a Cigar

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try;
They're gonna love you.

Well I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out.
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everyone else is just green,
Have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start,
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

Iron & Stone

Made the sinners cry
He oped up his sky
The rivers ran with blood
The deserts name was love

Said who can not be saved
Soul of a man is much depraved
Don't act as if you are his clone
Made of iron and of stone

Justice swept the land
To raise the mortal made
And when he overcome
The war has just begun

As the darkness spreads across his land
Soul of man who stays his hand
Forms the basis of his home
Made of iron and of stone

When it came the time
To confess his crime
The people stood and stared
And didn't even care

And the morning had died
The millions knew that there was no lie
Temple was built and the worshiping showed
Made of iron and of stone

So now I can leave
To recent for me so evident
The one that would leave
The other concedes like never seen
