Here Under the Sun

Earth under the sky,
Under the Gods, judging on high,
Under the moon, under the stars
Under the changing will of the cosmos,
Wondering why, nobody feels
Settled in life, nothing is real,
Nothing is set, nothing is done
The battle goes on and nothing is won
Here under the sun
Dead under the skin,
Under the face, under the grin,
Behind the eyes, empty and pale,
Between the ears, deaf to the wails
Under the lies, under the smile,
Is there truly any thing worthwhile?
Under control, under the thumb,
Is there still a flicker of sentience
Here under the sun
Trapped under the Earth
Waiting for the trumpets to be heard
Rotting away into the soil
Oozing and black like cemetary oil
Spent all their lives waiting for death
Praising their God with every last breath
He never showed up, now they are done
Their names are forgot and people move on
Here under the sun

The Ruins of Life
06:14
|

Black hearts, blank minds, slackened mouths curved in false smiles with
Brown teeth, in defeat, cold eyes stare out of cold meat in
Dark Dreams, stretching seams, sneaking schemes and silent screams in
Grey scenes of old regiemes
Men wired to machines in the ruins of life
Blood, pain, driving rain, out of time and out of phase
A stained name, thick with shame, victim of averted gaze, these
Sick games, quest for fame, credit to the limp and tame, a
Thought haze, shrunken brain,
Man trapped in the maze of the ruins of life
Blood red rivulets snaking from a fractured head, a
Crushed skull, leaking mud, thoughts have thickened into muck
A sad sight, out of luck, finally your time has come and
Lonely, in the night,
God blows out the lights in the ruins of life

Man needs something to fear
Something that he holds dear
To keep boredom and idle feelings at bay
Were there no end to living
Were the fates more forgiving
He would still keep on killing his time today
And he would rise again until the heat death of the universe
And he would see the sun until it burns away
And he would rise again until the heat death of the universe
And he would walk until the skies fade into grey
Watching
Waiting
And he will rise again until the heat death of the universe
And he will see the sun until it burns away

Angels of Artifice

We are the Angels of Artifice
We cut the cards and we dim the lights
We are the Angels of Artifice
You are merely our plot device
We are the shivers in the corner of your eye
Peripheral vision, yes, you never look twice
We are the Angels of Artifice
We are the Angels of Artifice
We cut the cards and we dim the lights
We are the Angels of Artifice
You are merely our plot device
We are the crimes that you regret more every night
We are the dead, we don't look better in hindsight
We are the Angels of Artifice
