ERA VULGARIS LYRICS

1. Brittle


Just like the crab struck with legs in the air
And just like the worm that’s been caught in the sun
The way is clear but you won’t brave the stair
Pull the wool over your eyes satisfied
There was nothing that you could have done

There but for the grace of God I would lie
And there for the likes of you I would die

This is a story that’s not mine to tell
Passed on by one too bitter to speak
A shriveled spirit in a self-made hell
Tears distort vision where hope will not seek

Greed made you turn on your closest friend
Rejected love for a trinket of gold
Who knew that reason could so easily rend
To unseen forces your soul was sold

Just like brittle bones you’ve got a brittle soul
Psychoporosis, you need to make you whole

[Solo: Kent]

How can I help you? You won’t help yourself
Expect to receive but you’re not willing to give
They seek your death, still why you can’t tell
Examine yourself, would you let you live?


2. Just Ask Yourself


You refuse to improve because it’s safer down there
Never ventured, never gained
You pull others down into your pit
Here ends your little game

Always something new
Different perspective, same view
Changing your position
Won’t improve the situation

You make me sick when I see the
Boulder on your back
Shoulder searching eyes
Colder side of the track
Our sympathy for your lies

Communist hypocrite, degenerate fuck
Liar, arrogant fool
Don’t talk about what you don’t understand
In fact, don’t talk at all

I’ve seen what you’ve seen
I know what you know
I’ve been where you’ve been
There’s no excuse

[Lead: Robertson]

This was the best chance that you ever had
To rise up and transcend
But you bit the hand and left us no choice
So this is the end


3. Mark It Zero


You told me what I should believe
But I will not listen to you anymore
You told me what you wanted me to feel
But I will not bow down to you or anyone

This is the voice of one who knows
These are the eyes which have seen
These are the ears with which I heard
This is the mind that bears the scars

Follow no one
Follow no man

You told me my father was in hell
And there was nothing I could do for him
You preached love with an iron fist
And I raised the iron finger as a hypocrite

You pushed God into a box
Placed him on an altar high and said
“This is God and this is why you will born after you die”

[Lead: Robertson]

[Lead: Kent]


4. Limb From Limb


So long the beast attacked, claws piercing and abandoned soul
Too long I turned my back, tried passing on responsibility
Sought answers in the world around me, everywhere but the place they would be
Thought that the freak could save me, that her words could see me free

Though you may tear me limb from limb
You’ll never kill what stirs within

So the angels danced in vain on his barren unmarked grave
For the beast still roamed at will, just waiting for his time to kill
I have known no other way, puppet strings bear my weight
Surely I will fall if they are cut, certain death if they are not

I see how he controls me
Arrogance is the chain that holds me down

[Lead 1, 3 & 5: Robertson]

[Lead 2, 4 & 6: Kent]

Attacks logged and remembered, re-grown the limbs it severed
Only the weak do not surpass deeds attempted in the past
The beast feeds upon my weakness but when I wake he will rot in pieces
Don’t look too hard for destiny, someone else’s you will find


5. I Must Have Your Brain


Hasta siempre la revolución
Now keep the wheels in motion
Do what must be done
Join the battle lines
Hear what has begun
This is my time, this is our time

I’ve heard all your complaining
Your insights and explaining
Until you look inside
You’ll never realize
The wrongs perpetrated by them are related
What caused them to fall
At sometime afflicts us all
We must show them

Don’t let yourself be lead
By what the blind have said
Forgive but don’t forget
Don’t waste time on regret
See just how much hate is our crutch
Take the higher path
Guarding well your wrath
We must show them
Don’t give into temptation
And fall into complacence
Revolution is a process
Not a product
Learn from the past, this time it lasts
Understand the weak
Don’t realize what we seek
We must show them


6. Fate Draws A Curtain


Fear has ruled and ruined my life
My soul was blind and I paid the price
Beauty defiles, happiness cries
A shadow grows if the sleeper lies

I can’t pass it on, though I’ve tried, I can only blame myself
Motivated by fear and all the lies it has spoken
Only now that I’ve paid do I see what I couldn’t tell
Deep inside from its slumber the sleeper must awaken

Fear is the mind killer

Strip away the lies, kill my pride
Discover honesty is not fear in disguise
Love defiles, destiny cries
A shadow grows while the sleeper lies
Never forget
Nothing is certain
Over our future
Fate draws a curtain
The old winkled couple
May still have a chance
My dream never dies
Of those paper like hands

Fortune flies blind
Punished for her crimes
Passes me by
In the darkest of my times
Nothing to lose
Peace at lat to gain
Where are you now?
I held you through your pain

Passing through fire
Emerging a new man
My dream never dies
Of your freezing hands

[Lead: Robertson]

You closed the door on my heart, opened the window to my soul
Honesty is a virtue whose powers I’ve not known
Now the truth is all that can save me, atone the lies that were told
And I wish that I could hold you as my life turns upside down

[Lead: Kent]

I can’t pass it on, though I’ve tried, from the truth I cannot run
Motivated by fear when all hope is forsaken
Only now that I’ve paid can I do what must be done
Deep inside from its slumber the sleeper has awakened


7. Harmonic Discontent


I lie beneath my emotions
Aligning childhood mysteries
Knowing not my own needs
I perpetuate your legacy

I lie beneath my emotions
Aligning childhood mysteries
Knowing not my own needs
I perpetuate your legacy

Forgiveness has cleansed my soul
From the sunless dawn ‘til evening
At last I have found my own light

Discontent with harmony
Faulting the way things had to be
Now I cast the stone at me
As your actions by my hands repeat

Discontent with harmony
Faulting the way things had to be
Now I cast the stone at me
As your actions by my hands repeat

Forgiveness has cleansed my soul
From the sunless dawn ‘til evening
At last I have found my own light

I am my own master
I am my own father
By me I am matured
My peace I have structured

I am my own master
I am my own father
By me I am matured
My peace I have structured

Forgiveness has cleansed my soul
From the sunless dawn ‘til evening
At last I have claimed my own life
