THE PLASMARIFLE LYRICS

1. For All That Is Concealed Shall Soon Be Revealed

The reflection That I See,
Has become loathsome to me. Intriguing bunch this breed,
For it's native tongue is deceit.

Corrupted through and through
One thing that can be said, true.
Even while expressing lament,
Lies spew forth, forked tongued serpents.

For I have learned one thing that is accurate
The heart can sink to new depths un-reached.

And the slope gets even more slippery day by day...

So the reflection that I see,
Keeps on slipping so easily;
Places I never wanted to be,
Doing things I thought weren't me.

"Just Quit Lying!"

No good thing...
The human soul is corruption,
Unto itself it breathes destruction
Will ever...

No good thing could ever come from the species so twisted,
For time has shown it'd been better if we'd not existed.
Yet within the human soul so dark,
Exists hope (embodied as love) to ignite the spark!

So I'll remain hopeful for...
"The reflection that I see",
And forgive the traits, I've learned to hate...
"Creature loathsome to me".
I'll fight the urge to tread down the roads to...
"Places I never wanted to be"
And choose to stop...
"Doing the things I thought weren't me"

2. As The Mountains Rolled Back I Stood In Disbelief...

No one could've seen this hell storm coming down the pipes - NO ONE!
How could we brace ourselves against such fury? - WE STOOD IN FEAR!
Dumbstruck, we fell in awe under the weight of grief - AND WEPT
For all had lost and none had won, the end had finally come!

Chaos ran rampant and confusion rendered the air thick,
Paralyzed with shock, incapable of uttering a sound,
The end was here!

People of all nations, religions, races and tongues,gather 'round.
These catastrophes and calamaties were prophesised since the earth was young.
The signs were all around us, constantly being dismissed and cast away.
Now is the season to be tested through the threshing floor.
This is the season for weeping for all will taste the bitterness of loss.
Woe and destruction shall be thrust for man's insolence indeed has a high cost!

The ground shook violently and opened up,
To accept our "Towers of Babel".
Vestiges of our grandiose accomplishments,
Were all but swallowed by earth's great chasm.

The sky rolled back and turned pitch black,
Even the stars disappeared and the air, thick with fear...
We truly truly believed, this ideology we conceived,
That we, would perpetually triumph any exigency.

We learned that we weren't gods of this world...
Much too late...

3. To Those That May Be Concerned...

Look at you now, you're running scared,
You don't know where you can turn to,
And you never did see this coming...

Well, did you ever think, you'd ever find yourself in a situation like this one?
And if you think about it, yesterday was the time you could have done something...

You can't let it go!
It's taunting you nice and slow!
Just thought I'd let you know!
You managed to sink so... low.

Running scared, like a chicken with your head cut off.

C'mon! Now is the time, today is the day, to change your situation, to erase those Mistakes.
Your past is buried so lets not exhume memories.

Can't live with always falling on your face? Then get up and make the change...

4. Interlude I

[Instrumental]

5. Exhaling Life As Ink On A Page

Staring at blank lines;
At what does not exist.
At all the unborn potential,
At what could be if...

Open your mind and look beyond this,
Dare ask the question.
Past this finite nothingness,
Into the infinite - dream.

An invisible world surrounds this fragile mortal shell, that we seldom reflect upon.
Yet within this quiet place, truth is found.

Blank lines now fade...
Pen strokes form words...
By an unnamed faceless author, whose expansive vocabulary crafts a story on...
Pages we call life.

Open your mind and look beyond this,
Dare ask the question.
Past this finite nothingness,
Into the infinite - dream.

The story unfolds before my very eyes.
Each new chapter written holds the key...
To my purpose...
To my understanding...

6. From The Trail Of Ashes...

[Lyrics: Maynard Moore - Music: Oli LaSalle, Seb Proulx, Featuring: Alissa White-Gluz]

To place the fear in you, flourishing cities lay in cinders.
So let's turn our thoughts to fire, oh, let's set this place ablaze!

We spread this vigilante justice with fire,
Strike a match, then drop it and run.
The flames will spread to everything around;
We'll watch the blaze from far away, c'mon...

So let's turn our thoughts to fire, oh, let's set this place ablaze!
This is our one chance, the only one we'll get...
To let them know how we feel.

The smoke will rise in the night sky to send this message.
This will be our legacy... and generations to come will
Base their poetry on the fires we'll feed.

We spread this vigilante justice with fire,
Strike a match, then drop it and run.
The flames will spread to everything around;
We'll watch the blaze from far away, c'mon...

So let's turn our thoughts to fire, oh, let's set this place ablaze!
We stand together tonight resolute to our convictions!
To spread this fire and to...

7. I Hold You Close To My Heart / This Is Not An Emo Song

[Lyrics: Maynard Moore - Music: Oli LaSalle]

Walking through these endless mazes,
Hallways of sound...

This place never sleeps,
It always speaks...
Through seasons...
And time can't escape.

There's nothing I wouldn't do,
Baby, you know it's true;
'Cause I've always loved you
And if need be...

Big city with bright lights,
You're so picturesque!
And when push comes to shove,
I'd lay my life down for you.
Sundown comes and you light up!
Your neon face shines on us,
And your clamoring voice, is like a lullaby

This place never sleeps,
It always speaks...
Through seasons...
And time can't escape.

8. Interlude II

[Instrumental]

9. Star Light, Star Bright

[Lyrics: Maynard Moore - Music: Oli LaSalle]

Twinkle little star, I wonder what you are...
You've captivated me softly.

Dark pearl strife, cling to one word... fight!
Tonight's the night!

She says "you're an anguished soul, with the heart of a poet!".
Well if that's true, then call me Huckleberry Finn.

Come hither frost; kiss!
Come comfort blustery wind...

I faked this long before, these words will reach deeper than most lives will ever breathe.
Love graces her face and she says "you've captivated, my worth, my bliss" and I tell her
"This is my gift to you... my gift, to you"

These words that rock your soul baby, it is my gift to you...
They are my heart felt gift to you.

10. Goodbye Dearest Bethany (I've Cursed Us All)...

[Lyrics: Maynard Moore - Music: Oli LaSalle, Featuring: Alex Icon and Kevin McCaughey]

O' Jackson, say my ol' boy, can you hear that melody?
This is the sweetest song, that has ever infiltrated these old ears and my aged heart;
Ever since my first days at sea, as a lad at age thirteen.

Thought I, these merely were but wives tales,
Made to make grown men cower in fear.
Mr. Davies, tell the men to...

Turn the ship, starboard, that's an order! We're going to follow that song to our deaths
(alas these men are as doomed as me and yet, there is no fear of mutiny).

Tell Bethany I loved her dearly, for the sea will swallow me.
Into the depths of this frigid abyss, I am enchanted by the sweetest voice of siren songs...

We're sinking!
O' precious mermaid, fabled creature of the deep, I've killed us all just to hear you sing.
So sweetly...
Abandon all hope, I've cursed us all... sink to the depths for sirens song.

11. Haunted By The Ghost Of A Dead Actress

[Lyrics: Maynard Moore - Music: Oli LaSalle]

Like a perfect vision captured in time,
You're all the inspiration I need.
Wisp, your presence, entwine with mine.
You've been burning in my heart.

You're elusive... you've been avoiding me.
You're a ghost, a vision still haunting me.

The consensus is that I'm hallucinating, though most have heard you creaking and moaning.
Having you float above me inaudibly accusing, won't do half as much as your memory glowing.

I say, you are the greatest source of joy and pain.

Calibrate my emotions for a woman that's only half there.
My ambitions, fully committed to pleasing only you.

Though they do not see you, I know you're there.
A cold breeze tingles the back of my neck, when (if ever) you decide to show your face.
Your gaze renders me aloof to the cares of this world...
Your translucent radiance warms my dead soul, as you seek to obtain my eyes alone;
For no one knows of our secret bond, I beseech you my love, would you be mine?
