Hedonist
05:54

So it seems that we've lost ourselves
So immersed in our own decadence
We have dug our own graves
Ambition clouds our true loves
Unwanted wants become our gods
And we can't get enough
Why are we so in love with ourselves
So you take all that can be taken
So you take your time here for granted
And so you waste...
Second verse is same as the first
As each generation repeats the last
We still dig our own graves
Thus our fate is what's innate
To deny is to deny our grave
But we just can't resist
How did it all come to this
Caught in the ecstacy of living for one
We’re so weak and so blind
We’re losing ourselves inside
Forgetting the meaning of what life used to be
Save me from my possessions
Save me from endless taking
Hedonist! Only a god could love you
Save me from this shallow life...
(Solo: Harrison)
(Solo: Ryder)
Save me from my possessions
Save me from endless taking
Some one save me
Why are we so in love with ourselves
How did it all come to this
Caught in the ecstacy of living for one
Our time is too precious to live for ourselves!
And we’re so weak and so blind
We’re losing ourselves inside
Forgetting the meaning of what life used to be

The Grand Mistake
03:16
|
|||
|
Behold my enlightenment
To your rhetoric
And in retrospect
I saw bestow a new testament
Based on Evidence
So that the fears of man
May be justified
And so where do we go from here
Shall we live in fear
While these puppeteers
Run our lives
And all that God has done
Is what you've done for you
And God will forever be
The chosen image of our time
(Solo: Ryder)
Behold my enlightenment
And I say behold a new society
And I say behold the greatest lie of man
And all that God has done
Is what you've done for you
And God will forever be
The chosen image
(Solo: Harrison/Ryder)
Behold my enlightened
Behold a new society
Behold the greatest lie of man
Behold its death in me!
Behold our grand mistake!

Singularity
03:34
|
|||
|
Everything that came before
Is irrelevant to now
To the choice at hand
Half measures will no longer avail
This is where my dreams meet resolve
May I sway the cold ear of fate
And bring about a day when forever knows my name
So seize the day
(Solo: Tidwell)
May I sway the cold ear of fate
And bring about a day when forever knows my name
Or will I take my name down to my grave
Or will they speak of me as a singularity?
This is improbability vs. will
And as this ontological renaissance does become me
May the sands of time engrain in a man
The understanding that existence means more than
Just existing
So seize the day
May I sway the cold ear of fate
And bring about a day when forever knows my name
Or will I take my name down to my grave
Or will they speak of me as a singularity?

Here’s to forgetting we knew the truth
And here’s to forgetting what we men do
And here’s to forgetting what might have been
And here’s to just being and starting anew
So raise your glasses to this moment
With all those that share your demons
Forgive, forget - just live and let live
Forgive, forget - and fuck the bullshit
Come and take this trip with me
Let go, forgive, forget - start something better
Let go, forgive, forget - start a better way
So raise your glasses to this moment
As we remember the fallen
Forgive, forget - just live and let live
Forgive, forget - and fuck the bullshit
Come and take this trip with me
Let go, forgive, forget - start something better
Let go, forgive, forget - start a better way
In Vino Veritas
Here’s to forgetting we knew the truth
And here’s to forgetting what we men do
And here’s to forgetting what might have been
And here’s to just being until my end
Take this time to remember why
We ever used to love this life
Let go, forgive, forget - start something better
Let go, forgive, forget...
These days...
Of dismay...
Let go!
Let go, forgive, forget - start something better
Let go, let go...
Leave the old in its place
In Vino Veritas

Manifest Humility
03:34
|

|
I’m hoping one day
You’ll share their misery
So you think that you know pain
Because you’ve known the limits of excess
And now denied - unsatisfied - you cry torment
Daring to call this misery... let me tell you
When they come we walk away
Do they disgrace us?
We just turn the other cheek
Is their ignorance their bliss?
Where's their angels?
Who shares their misery?
Manifest humility
Some day I hope you know their pain
Lying helpless and all turn away
When they come we walk away
Do they disgrace us?
We just turn the other cheek
Is their ignorance their bliss?
Where’s their angels?
Who shares their misery?
So you think that you know pain
Hold them and tell me out your misery
Now that you know their misery
Hold them and know humility
Manifest humility

By Apathy Undone
05:28
|

|
Seeing the evil of man you have followed suit
Succumbing to temptation and mediocrity
Society everywhere in conspiracy
Against the manhood of every one of us
With highs so high that weíve forgotten what is low
With high so high that weíve forgotten...
And there in the sunset goes another friend
Lost to apathy and circumstance
And with a passing glance he embraces
Regret as a colder soul, welcomes him home
These are not the times that try mens souls
For here the meek are the kings, the kings of old
With highs so high that weíve forgotten what is low
With highs so high that weíve forgotten low
Hear me now (you won’t), start again (you won’t)
Rethink your path (you won’t), save yourself!
Take command (you won’t), make amends (you won’t)
Live your life (you won’t) free again!
And there in the sunset is another friend
Lost to apathy and circumstance
And so with ease, thus came our sloth
So welcome to our self-holocaust!
Fuck you! You simpleton!
Perpetuator of your own misery!
Fuck you and your god!
How arrogant of you to think you know of such!
Fuck you! Fuck you! By apathy undone!
(Solo: Harrison)
And with a passing glance he embraces
Regret as a colder soul, welcomes him home
These are not the times that try mens souls
For here the meek are the kings!
And there in the sunset is another friend
Lost to apathy and circumstance

“...and the passions must be held in reverence;
they must not - they cannot at will be excited with
an eye to the paltry compensations, or the more
paltry commendations, of mankind.”

Dying Art
03:28
|
|||
|
So it seems that you’re not listening
Because if you were you’d be ashamed
Of the modern state of music that we have today
The same shit the same way
With just some new damn pretty face
So it seems we need beauty
To define musicís prosperity
So it seems you’re not listening
Because if you were you would walk away
And so this is how you sell these fools mediocrity
With some whore and four chords
In the latest fashions of today
So it seems we need beauty
To believe musics acceptability
Nice tits, six pack, anorexic scumbags parade before me
Protifiting proportionally to the sex they sell
Maybe I’d feel better if this were the exception
To the rule rather than so common place
So it seems we need beauty
To define musics prosperity
If we choose to walk this path we must consider
The consequences - defamation to the art in itself
Welcome to the death of originality!

The Romance of Lies
04:31
|

|
As I turn on my TV
I hear a cacophony
Of biased opinion
Here to sell me their “something”
It seems so common
No matter what side we will choose
This haze that exists on both sides of the aisle
Reflecting more disposition than fact
Every four years a new glad-handed savior
Making a monetary mockery of our trust
So they tell me freedom's not free
But is it worth the price of itself
So they fight for me and democracy
So they can take just what we're fighting for
Fuck this emaciated state
Of this Ku Klux democracy
They didn't take it they gave it away
Because it's one for all, if it’s all for...
For me
Every four years a new glad-handed savior
Make a monetary mockery of our trust
So the channels I will change
Until I find a truth thatís right for me
Because we just fucking love
The romance of their lies
So they tell me freedom’s not free
But is it worth the price of itself?

Wisdom in Regret
06:31
|
|||
|
(Solo: Harrison)
May these words sound where I cannot go
To bring you back home in your darkest hours
And shall I know hell with a clear conscience
Or heaven with regret
Solace or death
So listen up and listen well, my son
For there are things that can not be undone
And listen up and listen well, my son
For there are places you don't come back from
And shall you know hell with a clear conscience
Or heaven with regret
And shall you know hell with a clear conscience
Or heaven with regret
Solace or my pain
So take these words from a man
That’s walked the paths so many times before
And wants to change the stars
For all who care to know...
One day you will know the pain
Of hindsight and retrospect
So don't let life get in the way
Of doing what you know to be right
And shall you know hell with a clear conscience
Or heaven with regret
And shall you know hell with a clear conscience
Or heaven with regret
Solace or my pain
So take these words from a man
That’s walked the paths so many times before
And wants to change the stars
For all who care to know...
One day you’ll see a friend that will pass
So treat each time just like the last
Let not your pride stand in the way
Or you shall then know my wisdom and regret
One day you will know the pain
Of hindsight and retrospect
So don't let life get in the way
Of doing what you know to be right
One day you'll see a friend that will pass
So treat each time just like the last
Let not your pride stand in the way
Or you shall then know my wisdom and regret
If I could say
Just one last thing
It wouldn't be with words
Just an embrace
Until we meet again
