Gifts of Life

Frozen wasteland
The sun never set
Across the ice fields we ran
Track the beast with spear in hand
Secrets shared through time
The shaman knew the ways
Find the gods in the stars
And know the count of days
We sought the gifts of life
Across the earth we roamed
We sought the gifts of life
Across the earth we roamed
Cities we built
Towering fortress
Sacrifice to the gods
To draw the rains
Epic wars were fought
Whole nations
Put to the sword
Fires made
Out of bones
Blood feeds
The holy ground
We sought the gifts of life
Across the earth we sailed
We sought the gifts of life
Across the earth we sailed
We piled up gold like mountains
We killed for profit alone
Brother turn against brother
The son struck down the father
Secret rituals were performed
Symbols painted on the floor
Our human souls were ransomed
The demons made us beg for more
Greed created a new world within
Took over our heart and mind
A new dimension in suffering
The digiital guillotine
We sought the gifts of life
Across the earth we flew
We sought the gifts of life
The earth we destroyed
We sought the
GIFTS OF LIFE
GIFTS OF LIFE
GIFTS OF LIFE
We sought the
GIFTS OF LIFE
GIFTS OF LIFE

Told You So

I'm sittin here with the holy ghost
And a bottle of Gin
Talkin me out of
Out of my last sin
Scratch the surface,
It's as clear as black and white
Confirmed it's right on time
It builds you up and grows inside and you can't let it go,
You coincide with your pride and i told you so
But you already know
It builds you up and grows inside and you can't let it go,
You coincide with your pride and i told you so
Everything is still the same , don't act like you don't know,
Hallowed be thy name I told you so
Same old same old, sounds like deja vu
It builds you up and goes inside and you can't let it go,
You coincide with your pride and i told you so
Everything is still the same , don't act like you don't know,
Hallowed be thy name I told you so

Can't Lose You
06:05

One minute it seemed
Like we were fine
I was yours and you were mine
Our hands were always touching
Reaching out
Our love was never
In doubt
I can't lose you babe
Don't know what i'd do without you
I don't want our thing to end
Please don't let his be
The end
No one could come between us,
And no one ever did
Those old bad thoughts crept in
Old habits,reared their head again
Trying to wear us down from within
I can't lose you babe
Don't know what i'd do without you
I don't want our thing to end
Please don't let it end
Moments of silence
That seem to last too long
We can't let those get to us
We have to be strong
I can't lose you babe
Don't know what i'd do without you
I don't want our thing to end

Happy Day
05:15

Today I woke up to my blinds still open
Makin breakfast in the same old kitchen
Pouring coffee in the morning light
Catch you readin in the bedroom
You're still wearing my shirt
People kill over the spotlight baby
And forget about how much these little moments are worth
Turn off the TV and tie your shoes
I've got something on my mind that'll cure these blues
Let's drive to our favorite tunes
And forget about the world around
Come with me and we can live right
Put your trust in me and we'll take flight
Run our fingers through the sunlight
If that's cool - with you
Not going in work today
Might fuck around and think about the future we made
I hope this is how it stays
So I buy us another round
Come with me and we can live right
Put your trust in me and we'll take flight
Run our fingers through the sunlight
If that's cool - if that's cool
People sell us negativity
Sometimes I feel like it's hard to breathe
Sometimes I don't know what to think
Sometimes I don't know what to think
And if that sad day comes
When the world seems cold and grey
Just know that I'm here with you
Even if I'm far away
We can shelter from the rain
For a moment
We can get back in the light
From the darkness
It was the happiest day of my life
The day we found each other
The day we found love for real
Happy day, oh happy day
It was the happiest day of my life
Oh happy day, happy day

Shifting Sands
05:34

Across these shifting sands
The winds of time will blow
Everything we ever have said or done
Every place we will ever go
All is forgiven, all is forgotten
Beneath the shifting sands
Sand will cover this place
The sand will cover you
Words of the prophet
Muad-Dib

Back in the Day
06:14

This song is when black and white
Was like a yin and yang
We were in balance
Each half a part of a whole
But now, it's like some kinda rorshach test
People tell us we can't live on the same street
Or the same block
Can't go to the same clubs or the same school
Or even sit down and talk
We are born knowing how to love,
We get taught how to hate
Wish things weren't that way,
I wish I could make it change
It wasn't always like this,
Despite what they all say
I wish i could make it like it was
Like it was back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
So far we came to get it together,
So easy it was to rip it apart,
Between all the bad apples and closing of doors in the heart
The news and the hysteria took
The love we had for each other and turned it bad
Eggin on the hate
Playin down the love
I wish I could make it like it was
We used it all the wrong way, all this new stuff
We all know this ain't the way it was supposed to work out
We feed our children to the romans on big tvs
While mothers are cryin, fathers are dyin and the
Power is about to get shut off
Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
We could turn it all around
If we could just reach out
We could make it like it was
Like it was back in the day
Peace out

Devil's Book
05:08

There are runes i recognize
I know I've never seen
Passages in this ancient book
Familiar to me
These words i read aloud
They scare me
I think of shadows -In a darkened room
Of a doorway- Not to go through
There's a shadow round the corner
Of the door I can't see
Something lingers there
Its Reaching for me
I have tricked you..you see
I told you None could do this
Except for thee
I gave you powers
That only you could grasp
But that was a lie
And now you are trapped
Millions of souls
are in my thrall
I drag them in
and keep them all
A line you have now crossed
Never to return
You want to go back
To un do what was done
But you cannot turn ..cannot run
The circle you stand in
The words of your spell
Are really a trap door...
To drag you down to hell
Ha hahaha hahaha hahaha
Surroudned by darkness
I utter the curse
to rule in the abyss
screaming satans verse
Down we Down we Down we Down we go
Down Down Down Down
