Revolutions 04:36
lyrics

On and on and on again On and on and on again Everybody feels pain And in life there’ll be falling rain Sorrows came, but never died How many times, yeah, you know I’ve cried The tide is high, and then it’s low The revolutions of the wheel of time goes On and on and on again On and on and on again Troubles rise and fall again Season’s come and gone again Men on high cry for war When blood is spilled, yeah, they cry for more The rich men sleep in empty homes Feasting on the poor man’s bones The more you slave, the less you earn The more you have, yet the more you burn A story told since freedom rang Lessons learned, yeah, but nothing gained Fooling, schooling You’d never know, Lord, it’s a crying shame An institution flawed within When judgment’s based on color of the skin, it goes On and on and on again On and on and on again Troubles rise and fall again Season’s come and gone again (On again, on again) On and on and on again On and on and on again Troubles rise and fall again Season’s come and gone again Oh, my Lord, save our soul Oh, my Lord, save our soul Oh, my Lord, save our soul Oh, my Lord, save our soul Oh, my Lord, save our soul

All I Know 04:51
lyrics

All I know All I want All I have It’s a long time ago, but it’s no better now And I feel it’s best that I walk away It’s a lonely road you say I’m on And I blame myself, but I’ve made my mind That I had to go away to wander To find the soul that I left behind, but it’s All I know All I want All I have Time isn’t always kind when there’s nobody else And sometimes it’s hard to remember how to cope My cloudy eyes refuse to shine For the fear that comes when its cold outside I had no way to hold off the hunger And the chill that comes when it’s been too long, and it’s All I know All I want All I have My face is empty when you’re inside I feel like dying when you’re outside You keep the pain away when inside I can’t believe you found me outside, and you’re All I know (My face is empty when you’re inside) All I want (I feel like dying when you’re outside) All I have (You keep the pain away when inside ) All I know (I can’t believe you found me outside) All I want (I can’t believe you found me outside) All I have

Face the Wall 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Time to feed, can't you hear the call? They come with their knives and they stab at the walls Their jagged teeth through their crooked smile Kill with kindness, lying all the while Everybody knows the plan Can't believe that we're here again Face the wall and close your hands Leave your soul in the promised land Hollowed eyes scouring through the sea Find the snakes and lay them at your feet Line them up and bind them two by two Pull the trigger like you're told to do Everybody knows the plan Can't believe that we're here again Face the wall and close your hands The hammer judges as you stand Ahh-ah-ah-ah Ahh-ah-ah-ah Everybody knows the plan Can't believe that we're here again Face the wall and close your hands Leave your soul in the promised land Everybody knows the plan Can't believe that we're here again Face the wall and close your hands The hammer judges as you stand

Never Again 04:21
lyrics

Got my mind prepared to do All the things that I have to It’s not the kind of game played for sport Never again And I never felt before As when I walked inside the door Endless eyes assault every thread Never again I hear the monster call It can’t be night again I’ll hide inside the wall I’ll bide my time until the end Never again Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh When the sun has touched my face I’ll forget about this place I’ll find my way back home if I can And do it again I hear the monster call It can’t be night again I’ll hide inside the wall I’ll bide my time until the end Never again Never again Never again Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh

Time Fades 02:50
lyrics

How long must I endure it, defer it? I know it’s not forever, but I never can tell And I know I can’t elude it, and I can’t break free All along the way I feel I can’t belong Thrown along the broken waves I’ve grown afraid Days grow long and time begins to fade away All along the way I feel I can’t belong Thrown along the broken waves I’ve grown afraid Days grow long, and time begins to fade away

Caught Up In My Head 03:31
lyrics

Well I’ve never been that lucky And I’ve never felt this worried But I know I’ve got to hold on And I want to fall apart now But I know I, I believe it I know I want it, I need it I want it, I love it I need it, gotta have it How’d it get so complicated? How’d I get so agitated? Why can’t I stay motivated When I never hesitated? I don’t think I’m gonna make it I know I want it, I need it I want it, I love it I need it, gotta have it Well, I never thought that I would be so caught up in my head Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head But my back’s against the wall, yeah, oh, Lord (Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head) I can’t seem to catch a break, no, oh Lord (Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head) You know I tried to find a way, yeah, oh Lord (Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head) Everything just seems to fail, no, oh Lord (Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head) I’m holding on just by a thread, yeah, yeah, oh Lord (Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head) I’m going on and on and on just like a wheel, yeah, yeah yeah (Never thought that I would be so caught up in my head)

Enlightened Age 03:20
lyrics
buy track
There’s a fascination comes along with rage Time ill affords the cost of age It’s not time to vilify I don’t have to dignify all the thoughts I’d rather live without We can’t deny it We satisfy it Close now my eyes and be now baptized in the enlightened age The misplaced affection that you’re holding near Breeds contempt for things you come to fear They won’t lay it at your feet You don’t have to be discreet with the broken dreams you falsified You can’t deny it You satisfy it Close now your eyes and be now baptized in the enlightened age

Vampires 02:35
lyrics

Walking at night It’s not that weird Locked up inside I smell the fear Far from the light It’s not unholy Kissed by the blight It’s my calling I’ve been watching all you do I’ve been waiting to pursue I’ve been hungry, I’m addicted I have seen the sun go down Endless cycles in the ground Bide my time and quell the urge ’Til it’s time to free the scourge Cut from the herd I’ll make you weary Hollow the hearts Empty the streets Sewn by the seam Full of disease Draped in the cloth Down on your knees I’ve been watching all you do I’ve been waiting to pursue I’ve been hungry, I’m addicted

The Hollows 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Hold your breath and then you might feel the way I do The lines are blurred and sometimes I just don’t know what’s true My eyes are heavy My house is empty My friends all doubt me I close my eyes and drift away from all the things that I feel Fill the space of all the memories with the things that are real Is there anybody out there know the way that I feel The faces smile, but can’t understand the words I say They stare too hard and I have to stay inside today The hollows brace me The voices break free They hide in my tree I close my eyes and drift away from all the things that I feel Fill the space of all the memories with the things that are real Is there anybody out there know the way that I feel (Ohh-ohh-ohh) Mmm (Ohh-ohh-ohh) Mmm (Ohh-ohh-ohh) Bless my soul, yeah (Ohh-ohh-ohh) Make me whole (Ohh-ohh-ohh) Open my eyes, yeah (Ohh-ohh-ohh) So I can see, yeah (Ohh-ohh-ohh) I don’t know what’s up or down (Ohh-ohh-ohh)

Revolutions (Reprise) 01:06
lyrics

On and on and on again On and on and on again Nation’s rise and nation’s fall Who will answer tired call? The greed of man will never change The gates of hell remain unchained The road is long, and fraught with woes The revolutions of the wheel of time goes On and on and on again On and on and on again Troubles rise and fall again Season’s come and gone again
