Текст песни:

I take a steam train to work
Just like the one my father took
And I pass over the walls
I see the people as I look

I see there′s the block
For folks with purple skin
There′s the block for folks who have no chin
There′s the block for me & all my kin
And over there′s the change cage where we throw the rebels in

I work the change cage
Here on our side of the wall
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall

I work the change cage
Here on our side of the wall
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall

Walls of iron bolted with steel
Two miles high that should hide how we feel
And in the city we′ve walled off each block
This should work to segregate any racial melting pot

Long ago we learned of the trouble
When a man steps out of his life′s plastic bubble
So we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free
And now our lives are safe from any change that
Could have come between you & me

I work the change cage
Here on our side of the wall
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall

I work the change cage
Here on our side of the wall
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall

They say an artist from block 616
Revived some old art just for his own kicks
They say his pictures were lude
They say his women were nude
So we throw them inside

Well now that artist can run, he can hide
But sooner or later we′ll throw him inside
I don′t think the people should see
Well that′s not art to me
So we′ll throw them inside

I work the change cage
Here on our side of the wall
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall

And I will hold the key??

Текст песни:

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill
If I lose my footing this rock will kill
Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit
So I can′t see the top or know how far it is

Now life is a constant and death is a beast
Every time it′s been fed it′s presence′s increased
I feel it′s wings and it′s eyes bore my neck
This pressure has turned me into a wreck

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

It′s a cold and a hollow and lonely life
I′ve seen anguish and anger, fear and strife
Now the darkness comes and it takes my pride
But I′ve learnt to face the darkness in my stride

And I′ve felt it′s teeth pierce through my neck and back
I′ve felt my skin rip and I′ve heard my bones crack
And if I have strength left we′ll soon see
For the shadow of life has eaten me

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Well now comfort and security leave stride by stride
If I could see some way out I′d throw away my pride
But I can′t go back and my death lies ahead
And the end of this life fills me with dread

Still I push this boulder up this rocky hill
If I lose my footing this rock will kill
Perpetual dusk has me dimly lit
So I can′t see the top or know how far it is

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Текст песни:

I see the world with my eyes open
I see the world through lidless eyes
I see a world that is sick with self-loathing
Nothing in the nothing to mystify

Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil′s softly singing through the thick of the fight

I see the world in sinking depression
I see the world in a stinking digression
No chance for heaven we′re already in hell
And the devil′s taking over at the ring of his bell

Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil′s softly singing through the thick of the fight

I see the world with my eyes open
I see the world through lidless eyes
I see a world that is sick with self-loathing
Nothing in the nothing to mystify

Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil′s softly singing through the thick of the fight

I see the world in sinking depression
I see the world in a stinking digression
No chance for heaven we′re already in hell
And the devil′s taking over at the ring of his bell

Black day, Black night
Flesh is burnt us under in the broad daylight
Black day, Black night
And the devil′s softly singing through the thick of the fight

I see the world??

Текст песни:

Cross from me sat the new emperor, Hardly 13
And I asked him why he cried

No one stays around anymore, I cannot guess why
In my world they should try

I asked how loyal are your subjects
"Not" was the child king′s reply, "Rarely will they comply"

"I always search for new subjects, Still I′m loathsome to try"
"If they served me too long they would fortify"

"With all of my benevolence
There′s still no obedience
Or is it just coincidence
That everyone here′s indifferent
So I must move on"

"So I fear a dependence"
The Child King said
"Between my subjects and I
So if they leave me I won′t die"

"I always search for new subjects
Still I′m loathsome to try
In my world they should try"

"With all of my benevolence
There′s still no obedience
Or is it just coincidence
That everyone here′s indifferent
So I must move on"

Текст песни:

I wish I could breath, I wish I could stand.
I wish I had a chance here holding your hand.
Wish I could speak, I wish could talk
I wish I could breath

Since the first day, I was alive,
I feared we would meet here in the misty outside
I wanted to run, I wanted to hide
I wish I could breath

OoOOooo oooOOoo (repeat)
I fear I can′t over come this place
I know your face, your hands
I wish I could breath.

I feel a chill deep in my bones,
Nothing can heal, the way my blood moans.
Nothing can quench, My bitter thirst
I wish I could breathe.

I grasp at my heart, That burns in my chest,
It′s your precious art, That makes my soul stressed.
I run short of blood, light headed I swoon.
I wish I could breathe.

Текст песни:

Once I was complete,
The earth, firm, under my feet,
My back was strong, my body fleet,
Now I ache allover.

I learned each virtue I was told
I worked hard to avoid the mold
But as I saw my life unfold
There was no place for me.

It was hard when I begun,
Each day harder it has become.
My only future was undone,
And nothing has replaced it.

There is nothing left to gain,
All that′s left is to maintain.
Just to stand is too much strain,
But there is nothing else

I once believed in everything,
I once had faith in my ring,
Of my own world I was the king,
And now I am a beggar

I′m tired guilt, I′m tired of crying.
I′m tired of work, and finished trying.
I′m tired of living, and scared of dying.
But there is nothing else

I′ve been beat, I′ve been broken
I asked for a place, the world has spoken
I was asleep, but now that I′ve woken,
I preferred my dream.

It will take great strength to pull me through,
This challenge unseen, which I must do.
To make a "me" I never knew,
But I′m already spent.

Текст песни:

If my life should end and I cannot stay,
I pray that you will find a life with our loves that′s not far away,
Please don′t hate me overmuch

Burn, go on and burn
Burn, I feel the fire

I share a burning desire, temptations pulling me down
I′ve learned to thrive in this fire
And so I stay above ground

But if my love you win the race to die,
I think that I will join you soon
I couldn′t bare a moon shared with none, or with any other one

Burn, go on and burn
Burn, I feel the fire

I share a burning desire, temptations pulling me down
I′ve learned to thrive in this fire
And so I stay above ground

But if our lives should end and we′ve reached old age,
Our pages will be filled with the joy of a girl and a boy in love,
Even if the times were tough

Burn, go on and burn
Burn, I feel the fire

Текст песни:

Death hue falling on the faces of the streets
lost children as the mortar fire broken in
Nights cold, slipping through the cracks
breaking through the cracks of crumbling plaster.
Hunger gnaws, I can feel it claws but the pain of a bullet would
burn much hotter in the spot like,
mounted on the cannon of the tank the prowls.

Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see.

Nameless, but I no the faces of the kids I sleep in Jezebels lair with
Thoughtless breaking my bread tween the mine
fields flowers and gullies with daises.
Some times
I can find some rations that a solider let fall when the wind or life left him.
Some times I can find a gun on a pistol or a knife to use.

Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, I can not see.
My eyes are blind, my bodies lame, my families gone, in my gods name, Holy Wars.

Nameless, faceless, but a tear or a dollar won′t buy my justice.
Pearless clothed less then a war torn child should sleep or focus.
Once I watched as a cannon slot fell through the stained
glass window of a church on my street, once
I sat on a steeple now laying in the church yards playground.

Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear,
I can not see.
My eyes are blind, my bodies lame,
my families gone, in my gods name, Holy Wars.

Текст песни:

Dead silence falls a cascading shower of indifference
Isolation calls no self-acceptance, no means for honest reverence
Into the void self-annihilation, futilistic egotism
Until now I′ve toyed with what seems inevitable destructionism

Is this the end of my life?

Stabbed in the back, ice cold steel between my lower vertebrae
Not the first attack, I′m an isolated captive with the ones who would betray
Too late for pleas, my companions are filled with animosity
Knocked to my knees death will bring an end to this uncertainty

Текст песни:

Herr Drosselmeyer′s Doll
There she is on the stage
Spinning as she sprawls
Thank God the curtains fall
Her spring is sprung
And dances done
Spinning as she sprawls
Thank God the curtains fall

In the morning, he twists the key quite hard
And ticking, she′s brought to boil
" Relevée, my swee, on point, en garde!"
Her innards twang as they uncoil

Herr Doktor′s fingertips trace by
On craquelature from every fall
The daylight made to race right by
With paint and paste and stitch and awl

"Patent, patient, bumblebee,
Soon your audience admire
A shapely arabesque or three
I′ll wind you up, you′ll never tire."/em>

Starry tutu, sullen moon
A frozen carmine mouth
Twinkles as she jerks and swoons
The lady is ushered out

"Gentlemen, this fallen angel is the illegitimate daughter o art and science. A modern marvel
of engineering, clockworks elevated to the ery natural process hich even now is in your blood,
racing, your eyes flashing at such irreproachable beauty. Here is Gaia, here is Eve, here is Lilith,
and I tand beore you as her father. Sprung fully-formed from my brow, dewy and sweet; she can be
yours and yours again, for her flesh is the incorruptible pale o be excused from the wages of
sin."
(winds her up)

And as the sack cloth, sodden, slumps
Beneath these chipped and china limbs
The sour flesh pines, grunts and thumps
" Step right up, boys, tuppence for a spin!"

Текст песни:

Gentle? I think that you′re mistaken
Delicate? I went through that phase
Tender? Want me to say I love you?
Love? I heard it′s all the rage

I run my tongue down white marbled flesh
In my hand leather, of harness on breast
Reaching around, I claw at your cheeks
I′ve bitten at this chest for weeks and weeks and for weeks and for weeks…

Gentle? I think you′re mistaken
Delicate? I went through that phase
Tender? Want me to say I love you?
Love? I′ve heard it′s all the rage

I scratch my fingernails under your mane
Endlessly mingling the tingling with pain
I scramble for traction, I′m grabbing your back
Is it love that we′re making, or some sick attack?

Your skin is all glistening, from your head to your toes,
My legs are all shaky, and my growling grows
My vision is dimming, I′m gasping for air,
You′re biting the pillow, and biting your hair…
(panting)

Gentle? I think that you′re mistaken
Delicate? I went through that phase
Tender? Want me to say I love you?
Love? I′ve heard it′s all the rage

I run my tongue down white marbled flesh
In my hand leather, of harness on breast
Reaching around, I claw at your cheeks
I′ve bitten at this breast for weeks and for weeks and for weeks and for weeks...
For weeks and for weeks and for weeks...

Текст песни:

I am stretched on your grave
And I′ll lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I′d be sure we′d not sever
My apple tree, my brightness,
It′s time we were together
For I smell of the Earth
And I′m worn by the weather.

When my family thinks
That I′m safely in my bed
From mornin′ to night
I am stretched at your head
Calling out to the air
With tears both hot and wild
For the loss of a girl
I loved as a child.

Do you remember the night
The night when we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of the frost?
Oh, and thanks be to Jesus
We did what was right
And your maidenhead still
Is your pillar of light.

I am stretched on your grave
And I′ll lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I′d be sure we′d not sever

Oh, the priests and the friars
They approach me in dread
For I love you still
My wife, and you′re dead
I still will be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm

So I am stretched on your grave
And I′ll lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I′d be sure we′d not sever
My apple tree, my brightness,
It′s time we were together
For I smell of the Earth
And I′m worn by the weather.

So I am stretched on your grave
And I′ll lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I′d be sure we′d not sever

Текст песни:

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world

I feel engulfed in fire
The world holds too much pain
And if for nothing I seem to tire
The devil still holds his claim

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world

If fuel is stacking higher
My place holds too much shame
And if for nothing I seem to tire
The devil still holds his claim

I, I, I do not belong

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world

I, I, I do not belong

Текст песни:

She has always watched over me
She takes good care of me
She is such an integral part of me
That I forgot who I was
And I forgot she was there
For me

We have traveled this world for years
We have consoled each other′s fears
We dried each other′s tears
Yet always in doubt, and never in doubt
Of we

With a fever, with a passion
Within anger or with compassion
In a rage, when distrustful
When she′s screaming or when she′s lustful
With the fever, with a passion
When in anger or in compassion
In a rage, when distrustful
When she′s screaming and when she′s lustful

With the fever, with a passion
When in anger or in compassion
In a rage, when distrustful
When she′s screaming and when she′s lustful

She has always watched over me
She takes good care of me
She is such an integral part of me
That I forgot who I was
And I forgot she was there
For me

We have traveled this world for years
We have consoled each other′s fears
We dried each other′s tears
Yet always in doubt, and never in doubt
Of we

With a fever, with a passion
Within anger or with compassion
In a rage, when distrustful
When she′s screaming or when she′s lustful
With the fever, with a passion
When in anger or in compassion
In a rage, when distrustful
When she′s screaming and when she′s lustful

Текст песни:

Bring a line of the people
Bring down, scoop ′em up.
Take the life from the people,
Go down, and move up.

This is were I reveal myself,
Were I show that I′m not fine.
Can′t follow the cattle people,
Not one of the Kine.

This is were I reveal myself,
Were I show that I′m not fine.
Can′t follow the cattle people,
Not one of the Kine.

This is were I redeam myself,
Were I show that I′m not blind.
Can′t follow your party′s people,
Not one of your kind.

Still I pray, that I′ll escape one day.

No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal.
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal.

Here′s your cube
Here′s your stall,
Here′s your phone,
On the wall.

Bring a line of the people
