RIOTGOD LYRICS

1. Light Of The Sun

Far from Sea and Sand
a mission alone
a capsule of land
proceed with the hope of preserving a seed
a journey of life propelled by a need yet
Suddenly change we were faced with
a beacon of madness message of death
and it became clear
perfectly clear to me

as I stared at the light of the faraway sun [x4]

Now I'm in command
they gave me an order it cannot stand
they wont find agreement in me
its one against all
that's how it will be
I made up my mind to do what I can to stand up be righteous though I may be damned

oh it became clear
perfectly clear to me

as I stared at the light of the faraway sun [x4]

[SOLO]

as I stared at the light of the faraway sun [x4]

Set to kill by the light of the sun

2. Crusader

Wasn't far from Mommy's arms when she came alive
knowledge full up head
an anger it began to thrive

making lists of powers
and drawing up a plan
ready to make her mark and take it to the man

Gonna change the world with rock and roll
or so they say
stopping all abuse -- keeping Africa well fed
reading up on debt reform and politics worldwide
raising her voice she waves her banner high.

Flaming little bottle oh yeh
tattooed on her hand
give her time she'll it man
make you understand and
Traveling to protests oh yea far and wide
feeling high up on ideas
and people by her side

Gonna change the world with rock and roll
or so they say
stopping all abuse -- keeping Africa well fed
reading up on debt reform and politics worldwide
raising her voice she waves her banner high.

Wasn't far from Mommy's arms when she came alive
knowledge full up head
an anger it began to thrive

3. The Time Is Now

Certain like a level - irresistible lure
some saying that it's dead
of that he aint sure
searching for the sound that when found will make him feel pure.

Oh what it does to his soul yeh
fuses the young to the old
searching for the sound that when found will make him feel pure.

gonna put all that talk
away to bed
he speaking he truth yea sure as blood runs red

patient like a man who lived far two long
rhythm of his life no substitute song
looking like a lock in a room full of jeys
hiding like a cure to an unknown disease

Oh what it does to his soul yeh
fuses the young to the old
searching for the sound that when found will make him feel pure.

gonna put all that talk
away to bed
he speaking he truth sure as blood runs red

hog tied dreams become unbound
mind sores high -- far from the ground

he meets the waves like prism to beam
and color comes forth yea with shades of meaning
mind is teaming

Oh what it does to his soul yeh
fuses the young to the old
Oh what it does to his soul yeh
fuses the young to the old

4. Horizon

Town -- overwhelming
so small fit on a pin - rich with hidden sin
Money - he be savin
Day to blending day - mindful of his ways

dreaming of the sky
and colored sweeping plains
destiny awaiting
everything to gain
planning for deliverance
saying not a word
silence truly is the golden rule

road is calling go
all he wants to know
skin is shedding wings are spreading out

Young -- he's a good man
aint done nobody wrong
the day he works are long
young -- he's awoken
fearing not the day
nor anything you say -- like

What about the -- hang on

if I were you -- push on
that's no way to -- come on
what ya gonna do -- turn on
I know you feel ya gotta - move on

damn right I've wasted too much time

road is calling go
all he wants to know
skin is shedding wings are spreading out

lookin all around
hearing every sound

dreaming of the sky
and colored sweeping plains
destiny awaiting
everything to gain
planning for deliverance
saying not a word
silence truly is the golden rule

road is calling go
all he wants to know
skin is shedding wings are spreading out [repeat 4]

5. 9th Life

Oh baby you always on my mind

6. Omega

The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.

7. Collapsing Stars

I'll set it straight
this my frame
aint bout fame
something had to give when all seemed so bleak
had to speak bout that which make me live

Sbeen long since those days childhood games with BTO on H
that void dreaming boy would emply some tools to break things

Never knew how hard it would be--coming real again. [repeat]

Painful play thievin ways
wasted days
cowardly return
the flower inside out rooted doubt slowly dissipates

this joy overwhelms seldom does anything just give
this refrain cuts through pain
awaits me after all I've failed to gain

Never knew how hard it would be--coming real again. [repeat]
Never knew how hard it would be--coming real at all.

And I wave to the ghosts, still splitting halves in half
wave goodbye
thanks for the memories
how we lied
now we tried
wishing on collapsing stars baby

Never knew how hard it would be--coming real again. [repeat]

8. Pinata

Get out the egg time its your debut
you lousy piece of shit their gonna worship you

Coming out the gate with a pair of twos
pack of different evils its so hard to choose
slowly lift ya up so they can knock ya down
celebpinata how you swing around
former nobody explode on the scene
face on every cover of the magazine
scumbag hero thief or a night
right place right time burning so bright

how ya gonna die yea booze or pills
bad car crash gonna give some thrills
bare some skin might make a big fuss
or better yet come out the car and flash ya pussy

Coming out the gate with a pair of twos
pack of different evils its so hard to choose
slowly lift ya up so they can knock ya down
celebpinata how you swing around
former nobody explode on the scene
face on every cover of the magazine
princess dope fiend nun or a whore
doesn't matter baby when you hit the floor

big time ghost crazy fading true star
fraction of the being you once thought you were
comeback on a level yeh ya gone insane
now your justa porter on their gravy train

Coming out the gate with a pair of twos
pack of different evils its so hard to choose
slowly lift ya up so they can knock ya down
celebpinata how you swing around
former nobody explode on the scene
face on every cover of the magazine
scumbag hero thief or a night
right place right time burning so bright

9. Drone Station

Drone Station 9 don't sound devine but this is what I chose yeh the mission's mine
been 5 long years I been prepared
first man to go down
ain't a little bit scared -- but nervous -- that I'll give ya
cause soon, I'll be leaving.

From earth - to ship - to station so deep to the great unknown that goddamn sleep

and I'll be on my way.

Can't speak to the press I live in my room - thinking of the chamber that might be my tomb
Yeh -- I'll be gone for Quite a long time -- doctors assure me that all will go fine.
When this all begun -- did a trial run -- year took a minute my revival no fun
sixteen day all feverish dreams
consciousness came kickin' and screamin' - so
nervous -- that I'll give ya
cause soon, I'll be leaving.

From earth - to ship - to station so deep to the great unknown that goddamn sleep

and I'll be on my way.

and I think about that letter
only one they'd let through
from that long ago girl -
yeh oh I'll never forget her
she knew something
that I didn't know
and as I pulled apart the paper
saw the picture there
of my only son
who'll surely die while I'm gone.

And I'll be on my way
on my way
cause I'll be gone
my way
on my way.

10. Love It Or Leave It

I can see you there watchin'
I see your concern
damn that man's hard headed
when's he ever gonna learn

I know you feel you been saying it over and over again

Babe I learn the hard way
once just aint enough
made life a little less sweet yeh
made life a little more tough

I know you're tired o hearin it it over and over again

my mind aint right I know it's true
baby
love it or leave it it's up to you [repeat 1]

Know you're a little nervous to take this test of time -- yeh you got dreams of your own babe and I'm sure they can't match mine

I aint tired I'll hear them out baby yeh
over and over again

my mind aint right I know it's true
baby
love it or leave it it's up to you [repeat]

come on tell me ya love me.

11. Rift

Dawn oh it came broke like a fever
sun shone in through curtains waved by the wind
slowly

the night it disappeared
oh it exploded
cleared the air a vacuum all that remained
still

and I
lay alone
for hours
the smell of yesterday all on my clothes
smoke

and there you came
oh and I turned
the room became filled with all that we learned
the space between us oh
became less and less

You came to me
oh said your piece
your eyes so damned wide
demanding release
your heart was set it was over
long ago

Here come those tears.

12. Sweet Kaos

Laid out like a city map before me patterns lead my eyes I'm dazed yeh - Amazed? No.

Distraction conversation color fragrance yeh all vie for ones attention -- did I mention?

Got this feeling in my soul like I'm filled with nitroglycer-intimation -- oh this sensation

Standing there before me like a jewel inside a case and I am
BROKE.

Gestures glances shape inflection analyzed so quickly in my mind yeh -- ain't tryin -- no.
Standing as a carousel of choice oh whirls right by me -- so inviting
( and I'm )
Standing there before me like a jewel inside a case and I am
BROKE.

Oh this pulse in my heart -- could easily start
sweet kaos
memory is no friend -- no -- no.

Standing there before me like a jewel inside a case and I am
BROKE.

Standing there before me
with that question on my tongue

Patience - patience baby
oh the night is young

Mirror.

13. High Time

Cigarette frozen to my lip
feel that pang gotta make that trip
no you wouldn't advise it saying to me
baby you don't know these folks
but baby understand -- I made my choice

I know I'm gonna make it
got faith in the Lord above
got faith in the Devil below
Faith stronger than a Mother's love
yeh - gotta little bit extra
like silver on a golden wing
and pretty soon y'gonna hear me sing
bout the good thing that I bring

Horror drive oh yeh round the town
promises aint calming my nerves down
doubts I cannot entertain while
waiting that eternity
I understand -- I made my choice

I know I'm gonna make it
got faith in the Lord above
got faith in the Devil below
Faith stronger than a Mother's love
yeh - gotta little bit extra
like silver on a golden wing
and pretty soon y'gonna hear me sing
bout the good thing that I bring

red light pass aint coming for us
deal went down without a fuss
destination aint but a mile
cant contain my infectious smile

oh sweet salvation
oh the joy it comes in waves
a sense of pleasure so depraved
lady luck blushes raises her veil up

now I got my good thing

This goddamed cycle
been repeating all my days
these blessed cursed ways
people tell me that I'm wrong that I should know better

waitin on that good thing
waiting on that good thing forever
waitin on that good thing
people tell me that I'm wrong that I should know better

14. Grand Design

Wide - wide will be my smile
when the stars aboce become aligned
fine fine will feel my heart
embraced by the grand design

oh understand me baby
I've no control
hard-wired element it rules my soul
rules my soul....

Retrieved from the black, silent, dream of a death
been blue
been found
been cold

and this desire it was there when I was young - be there [repeat] when I am old

oh understand me baby
I've no control
hard-wired element it rules my soul
and oh this fire inside me it doesn't die
it burns eternally -- demands I try [repeat]

[solo]

Oh understand me baby
I've no control
hard-wired element it rules my soul
and oh this fire inside me it doesn't die
it burns eternally -- demands I try
gone are the days baby, when the straightest line
appeared to me a maze
before my eyes [repeat]

I've got one wish I always will invoke.
