This allegation, one I'm willed to confess now,

Well, I can't help I just wanna melt with you, my, my, my,
Start from the bottom, baby, grind you down to the groove,

2. Fabricated War

Where is the love that you promised
That we'd all get our share,
Where's all the hope
That's supposedly stored for despair?
Take all the tears now I'm begging you please,
My soul won't be fooled anymore,
Feed me truth I'll tell you no lies,
We won't walk alone,
We'll win in this fabricated war
Like flesh to the blood,
It's the source that divides our lives,
While faith is in question,
We'll do what we need to survive,
Who will you cry to now, how can you die without?
The battle's begun, you're going down!
You may wonder where we go from here,
But let me tell you again,
It's all an illusion of vanity dreams,
You'll find what you need in the end
Take all the tears now I'm begging you please,
My soul won't be fooled anymore,
Feed me truth I'll tell no lies,

We won't walk alone,
We'll win in this fabricated war
Tell me who will you cry to now,
Tell me how can you die without, we'll win this war

3. Tainted Pages

Lost behind the vision of your body, mind soul,
You've been lookin' way too hard
I'm guessin' far too long,
There's no need for explanation,
'Cause I know, we all need some resurrection,
Oh, all the shades of life should be as easy to control,
But you never seem to understand the right from wrong

Tho' every page looks black and white, well I know,
Every day begins with light,
Oh, if you got the time, well I got the situation,
Pictured life just passes by tainted pages turn,
In your mind, just like a new religion,

Erasing everything you know is like fakin'
Everything you ever learned there's no need for explanation,
'Cause I know, we all need some resurrection,

Oh, if you got the time, well I got the situation,
Pictured life just passes by tainted pages in your mind,
Just like a new religion, erasing everything you know
Is like fakin' everything you ever learned,

What's my line? I'm here to tell you 'bout a new sensation,
Oh, yeah, in your mind, just like a new religion,
Yeah, we sit watch as the pages turn

4. TV Reality

TV reality with magic wand in hand, the planet's at my reach,
Turn off the hustle bustle of the so-called real world,
Life's endless paranoia keep me from reality,
There're a 100 or more good reasons my best friend is my TV,
You call it addiction, to me it's a way of life
There's much too much confliction, yeah
There's much too much confliction, yeah
There's much too much confliction, yeah

24-7 my box is flickerin',
B-movies, soaps, such, well, it just don't matter,
Talk shows, god-TV, music videos, you can bet I'll lock in
Hypnotized 'til my bank is full of data,

You say it's affliction, such a tragedy, but you'll never know
'Til you turn on the screen, it demands your attention,
All the information you need (I want it), dilates your dreams,
Fills up with emotion, just leave me alone
While I feed I want my
While I feed I want my
MTV!

Info-mercials, re-runs, pay TV, technological designs,
X-mas shopping from my easy chair, who needs to go outside?

My baby done gone away but she'd never understand,
That's quite alright with me 'cause I got my magic wand in hand,
She called it addiction, to me it's a way of life,

But you'll never know 'til you turn on the screen,
It demands your attention, all the information you need (I want it),

Dilates your dreams, fills you up with emotion, just leave me
Alone while I feed, call it TV reality, if you know what I mean!
TV
TV
In my TV

5. Seasons

Time's been standin' still, since we were
Young, wrong, dumb, foolish irate lads
The lines on our faces, project signs of pain
Happiness, inside the wishing well,
Multi-coloured images grow dim,
The tears of joy, the good times bad times,
They all come together for the seasons,

They're all mere seasons,
For they will keep us together,
Just like the seasons, no need for reasons,
They'll be around us forever,

How's your wife child,
Have you settled all the little indifferences
Miscommunication's surrounding you?

Did the dreams you I used to share,
Ever come to play or just disappear?
Faith will alter fear, who needs more than a little
Understanding sometimes?

Like the money burned on daily life,
We never could imagine how hard,
The changes we'd be seeing through the seasons,
They're all mere seasons,
For they will keep us together,
Just like the seasons,
No need for reasons,
They'll be around us forever,

Tho' we get our semi-annual updates on life,
It's just enough to rekindle
The past hold on to the future,

No matter where we go or what we do,
We can always rely on the seasons,
They're all mere seasons,
For they will keep us together,
Just like the seasons,
No need for reasons,
They'll be around us forever

6. All + All

She makes me feel like I did before, the day I first learned of love,
A simpler time when our reckless lives displayed youth
Every lesson of love we share,
I dream we can hold on together, I will always cherish the faith
That you've enlightened me with your touch
All and all she's everything I want,
I'm gonna say it again, all and all she's everything I want

I talked to my best friend the other day,
He said "I've never seen you with so much light in your eyes"
Well, I must admit, ha, I can't believe I made it this far
Without her,
I'll tell you why again all and all she's everything I want,
I'm gonna say it again, all and all she's everything I want

Enchantment all around me, I swear,
There's no way I'm ever gonna let her go

Like all the seasons here gone, ever-changin' coloured emotions,
They seem to lead us through lustrous fields of gold,
All and all she's everything I want,
I'm gonna say it again, all

7. D.O.A.P.S.

You say you want me, but you only know my name,
You say you need me, but all you really love's the fame
You stare me down when I'm out eatin',
Next minute you're waiting' by my home,
'Cause now I belong to the people, say goodbye to bein' alone,
This chosen road that I follow, is like I'm walking a broken line,
Stars fall from grace all the time, just like the ones in heaven,
Won't someone wake when it's over 'cause it won't last forever

I got your letters, the cards, gifts of praise,
Hmm, it makes me wonder is the hype a masquerade,
Dollar signs, hasty humans, ain't it a blessed life?

Well I just don't know this chosen road that I follow,
Is like I'm walking a broken line, stars fall from grace all the time,
Just like the ones in heaven, won't someone wake me when it's over

This chosen road that I follow, is like I'm walking a broken line,
Stars fall from grace all the time, just like the ones in heaven,
Won't someone wake me when it's over

How long the hero, how long will I keep this dream alive,
Won't someone save me when it's over, if it's good, it won't last forever,
Will you still want me when it's over

8. Blissful Garden

Round round we go in search for a new beginning,
A million times to one I feel like giving up
Prayin' for the time, our wars were just indifference,
The solutions out there somewhere
So tight I'm all wound up heart beatin' like a drum,
Won't you just lead me to your

Blissful garden (garden of love)
Where love life are so serene,
Show me your blissful garden (garden of love)
Wake up dream

Love or tragedy, to fallacious heroes,
Cross that slender line between right from wrong,
Soon we're bound to find the prize for our production,
It was always out there somewhere so tight

So tight, I'm all wound up heart beatin' like a drum,
Won't you just lead me to your

Blissful garden (garden of love)
Where love life are so serene,
Show me your blissful garden (garden of love)
Wake up dream

9. Lonely World

Shattered visions in your mind or just make believe,
It's not enough to make me want to go,
Have you done your time or is it a need to be free,
The state of our condition's running cold,
You left me standing in a lonely world, a child without a home,
Cold abandoned in this lonely world with nothing left to believe,
Well I'm so lonely, desolate incomplete, I'm lonely,

Seven years gone by, everywhere I turn I still see your face,
Sad songs written about my sorrow, just like a shattered
Novelist relating the shattered story,
Searching a new road for tomorrow,

You left me standing in a lonely world,
A child without a home,
Cold abandoned in this lonely world with nothing left to believe,
Well I'm so lonely, desolate incomplete,
I'm lonely, won't you come save me, so lonely

You left me standing in a lonely world, a child without a home,
Cold abandoned in this lonely world with nothing to believe,
Well I'm so lonely, desolate incomplete, I'm lonely,

Wandering lost with no retreat, I'm lonely, lonely,
Crying, dying, suffering, I'm lonely, lonely,
Won't you come save me, I'm lonely

10. Delusions of Grandeur

Where you going in such a hurry, you better slow down
'Cause your're going much too fast, youth is passing, good times
Leaving,
You gotta hold on while you can make it last,
You wander deluded over
You wander deluded over
Troubled by anxiety,
Delusions of grandeur over
Delusions of grandeur over
Don't waste my time

Mother, father done lost their baby, to another victim of society
Sister won't you take heart listen, don't you turn into another casualty,

You wander deluded over
You wander deluded over
Troubled by anxiety,
Delusions of grandeur over
Delusions of grandeur over
Don't waste my time

If you need another reason to get outta the race,
You can count the many ways on the hands of time ticking life away,

You wander deluded over
You wander deluded over
Troubled by anxiety,
Delusions of grandeur over
Delusions of grandeur over
Don't waste my precious time
Shot down withered over
Shot down withered over
Deprived of every desire,
Delusions of grandeur over
Delusions of grandeur over
Don't waste my precious time

11. Since You've Gone

I sit alone here waiting, waiting for the line to ring,
Rehearsing every word I'll say to you,
It's been a cold empty day just like the one you went away,
And I'm longing for what tomorrow has in view,
I'm reaching out to hold you but you're nowhere in sight,
It's been oh so long since you've gone,
My faith relies on memories when the sun doesn't shine,
It's been oh so long since you've gone you say it's not forever,

But that's precisely how it feels,
As I count the days like a child in December,
They say with joy there's always sadness let's not forget the pain,
But when we meet again, we'll make it like our first September

I don't know how much longer I can make it alone,
It's been oh so long since you've gone
It took a lifetime to find you now I'm left on my own,
It's been oh so long since you've gone

I'd give up all my treasures, I'd walk an endless mile,
To bring forth our precious rendezvous
Where love'll never die

I pray that you believe me,
I pray you understand, I've got a lifetime of love in my hand,
I'm reaching out to hold you but you're nowhere in sight,

It's been oh so long since you've gone,
My faith relies on memories when the sun doesn't shine,
It's been oh so long since you've gone
It took a lifetime to find you
Now I'm left on my own, it's been oh so long.....

12. Humanimal

Guided by instincts you just can't control, animal logic
Suppressing your soul, a penchant for cruelty, desire for blood
Sensing weakness, you are merciless
A civilized surface, a savage underneath
Turn out the lights you can't keep it in
The only beast who wants more than she needs, never satisfied
Always driven by greed
You are the predator, the prey, you are what you eat
You are a human animal

In your solar system you are the star
So easy to hate when you don't know who you are
Conflicting emotions 'bout the colour of their skin
Goodbye now, it's a war you'll never win

You are a liar, a deceiver, the victor in this charade, you are a human animal

Computerize the future, it won't save us
In the end, virtual reality is not the key to the universe
We got to learn to exist together, it's the only way
We got to learn to exist together, it's the only way
Love is the way, the only way

Everyone tries to make sense out of chaos
Got to get a grip on this cold world
So you say you believe in God
It's a poor excuse for not believing in yourself
(See no evil, hear no evil, fear no evil)

Pretending to live by some virtuous code
When your "clothes" don't fit, you throw them away
Creating an illusion of immortality
Goodbye now, you were born to die

You are a sinner, a saviour
You bear the mark of Cain, you are a human animal

13. Doin' Time Wit' My Baby

Wake up my darling, your man's in need of a little loving,
Another nightmare come down on me, I need the wisdom of your touch
'Cause when the rain pours on my soul,
You bring the sun out with your smile,
C'mon, gimme some loving

Doing time with my baby, love's got a hold on me,
Doing time with my baby, there's nowhere else I'd rather b, I say yea, ooh,
Yea

The touch of your flower make me lose my head,
The scent of your skin warms me over,
I'm a little boy playing in your jungle Jim,
As your kiss sing songs of never-ending bliss,

If I should die before I wake, I pray your love my soul to take,
C'mon, gimme your loving

Doing time with my baby, love's got a hold on me,
Doing time with my baby, there's nowhere else I'd rather be

14. Animal Ritual

15. You Cannot Escape the Revelation of the Identical by Seeking Refuge in the Illusion of the Multiple

16. My Best Friends Girl

17. Dear God

Dear God, as I stand before you now
There's so many things I just don't understand
Dear God, how much longer can we hold on?
There's o' so much anger and love is in demand
I see their faces in the neighbourhood
Cold-blooded children with blood in their eyes
Turn on the tele to assassination
Well maybe momma should have kept the baby inside
Why do the children have to pay the price
For wrongs we have made

Well, show them the way, we gotta show them the way
How many dreams must burn away before we make it right?

Dear God, as the trees are coming down
The season is dying just the same
Oh Dear God, faith is all that's left behind
For someone alone, and crying out your name
Why do so many wanna rule the world
Why don't we see the light

Love is the way, you know, love is the way
How many dreams must burn away before we make it right?

To all get along with god up his throne
The reason, much time to go
I say (All we need is love)
We got nothing to lose it's more than we chose
To open up our eyes
I say (All we need is love)
Yeah!

(No more prejudice, no more hate
One for all, for one
Now can you read this?)

To all get along with god up his throne
The reason, much time to go
I say (All we need is love)
We got nothing to lose it's more than we chose
To open up our eyes
I say (All we need is love)
C'mon everybody, everybody, everybody be strong
I say (All we need is love)
Gotta believe, it's never enough
Gotta believe in heaven above
I say (All we need is love)

18. Hypocrite

Do what you want, but do it away from me.
Say what you want, but I don't wanna hear it.
All your philosophies are a thing of the past.
Take your hypocrisies and shovel them up your ass.
Stay where you are, just don't come near me.
Say what you are, the captain in a ship of fools.
Your insignificant others, they're not mentally fit
I don't think even their mothers, could not give a shit.

Running scared you don't know where you are,
Now it's perfectly clear.
Close to the end, now it can't be too far.
Your time has come, and now it's here!

[Solo]
[Broadcast and preacher talk]

Sick and tired of your alibis, sick and tired of your lip.
Such a pity that you can't deny, I've gotta a job for you,
You can start on my tip, ya, ya.
Talking 'bout hypocrites.

So take what you want now, just don't take it away from me.
Hear what you want, 'cause I know you're not listening.
All your philosophies are a thing of the past.
Take your hypocrisies and shovel them up your ass!

19. Wastin 'R' Time

20. To Know Someone Deeply (Is To Know Someone Softly)

To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly
Listen to me know

In my love garden
I wrestled with an angel
Not in a dream
Her eyes did seem
Like the grapes of the vine
Her lips were made like the gates of Heaven
Not to be missed
Made to be kissed
But not to kiss goodbye

The larger picture
Will come with time
But for tonight, dear
Let's lullaby

To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly
Listen to me know

Once a flower opens
It never closes
Until it dies
And the it lies
Amongst the roses
I wanted to play her like
A black grand piano
A clarinet
A minuet
Or lyric soprano

In my arms there's
A safety zone
Where nothing can harm you
Your heart or home

To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly
To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly
Sing

La la la la la la

To know someone deeply
Is to know someone softly

Dum dum dum dum
La la la la la la
Dum dum dum dum
La la

21. Todo y Todo
