Coming Home
04:09

Over the wires the news were in
They are fighting off trouble in a land far away
They are fighting for freedom here this day
I grabbed my bags, they didn't have to call me in
I have turned so many corners never asking the way
My Friends and family they don't understand
But I'm heading off anyway
Tell them, I'll be coming home again
Over the wires they are fighting for and against
And when they stop you can be sure then it will be too late
Then there is no telling where we'll be
I lay my head down in the dirt of this land
For centuries these hills have carved men out of blood and sand
All the Gods have left cuz if they didn't they'd be dead
Here things are simple and a man can easily forget
That he'll be coming home again
Over the wires you saw them coming down the hills
The masses gathered at the gates, then the signal got killed
We had to push on or it would all be in vain
And I'm the only witness to my sins
A paradise was lost and her rivers are running red
There was a cause but people they tend to forget
I'll carry her tears 'till the day I shall fall
Until the day that God calls me to his halls
Then I'll be returning back home
Then I'll be coming home again

Pack your pockets with dollar bills
Fill your tank with refines from Cowdray’s Old Mexican Eagle
Stuff your nose with cheap cocaine, cuz dealing with the Russians needs your strong pumping vein
They take the high roads, they wanna fuck Ukraine
But I’m here for the business, not someone else’s pain
On the radio I heard them say, that it’s getting pretty hairy on the highways out of Donetsk these days
Blasting through the blood and decay, I’m running on fossils and bones of the not so recently claimed
Putin and Merkel are fighting, whose bricks to lay
But I’m just praising my luck that the roads here are still paved
Ohh Europa your bloody rage when will it fade?
Your money is as sweet as a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day
Ohh Europa your bloody rage - yeah it’s me
Out of the cold frozen hell rose a tall dark stranger from the Royal Dutch Shell
He laughed and he coughed and said boy sure enough, Hitler also said nothing runs the engine of a beetle better than Cowdray’s Old M. Eagle
Filled to the top the burning ruins soon reared out in the dark
He said – hey friend are you up for a job?
Well despite our mutual hate here, I am talking with this guy from the Islamic State
He’s yapping about hell ‘n the state of my wicket ways
That I should pay, convert and repent, n’ see how a fall from a building would eventually end
I nodded and said, hey do you want your oil moved or turned into a sea of flames?
Like two high school sweethearts, now we’re riding into the sunset
Ohh Mesopotamia your bloody rage when will it fade?
Your money is as sweet as a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day
Ohh Mesopotamia your rage yeah it’s me
Wash your face in dollar bills, fill your tank with refines from Cowdray’s old Mexican Eagle
In the dust of Bush and J.P. Morgan Chase are now some juicy bones for all us scavengers to pick
From the Urals in the North to the Baghdad cafes
All the vultures flock around an all mighty feast
Ohh Mesopotamia your bloody rage will never fade
Cuz your money is as sweet as cool breeze on a hot summer’s day
Ohh Mesopotamia your bloody rage - yeah it’s great!

I close my eyes and I pray for time
A storm is getting closer
It’s whipping through my thoughts and mind
I close my eyes and I pray for time
Flowers stand by the riverside
In many different colors
Blood is rushing through their spines
Blood - Blood of brothers
Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned
Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned – Won’t you let me in?
The heart struggles to survive
The heat is getting stronger
Mountains crumble before my eyes
Red – Red is the color of the waters
One should know when it is time
When they’ve reached the end of the line
One should know when to linger
But I won’t linger, I can’t falter, I won’t linger!
Ohh Lord, for so long have I yearned – Won’t you let me in?
Dear Lord, I’ve sinned and I cannot bear the stench
Dear Lord, show me how to wash away – You – Me – Everything
We all saw them on our screens
He said the sky was pried open, then came the rain
He went crying to his knees for you and me
As his family caught the bombs on our screens
Dear Lord, despite all our sins – Won’t you let us in?
Dear Lord, for so long have we evolved – Will you let us in?
Dear God, show me how to destroy – You – Me – Everything!

It Is On
04:20
|
|||
Well you held me here for days in this Godless place
Where no sun will ever come around
And your stone cold walls they won't leak my calls
No window will show how you got me down
I played my kings high to your straight queens
And now I'm down, beat, broken and lost
So it is on - yeah it is on
You got me tied down like a dog
So it is on, you got me down
I am leashed to your chair and your crown
And you picked my scars with your stone cold heart
Kept my mind astray in your endless halls
But I can sharpen my teeth on these metal bars
I can harden my fists on your walls
So it is on - Yeah it is on
You got me tied down like a dog
So it is on, you got me down
I am leashed to your chair and your crown
I've been begging and screaming for mercy that never comes
Or an Angel to heed my calls
But no more soul searching and endless yearnings - no more
Now the sleeves are rolled up and bricks will be laid
I'll pave your descent out of the sweat of my two hands
I build this machine out of blood and nails
And it will be your growing nightmare one day
Those who tried to be righteous men
Their names are now written in the sand
But every fiber in my body won't turn to its grave
As one of the forgotten, cursed and damned.
So it is on - Yeah it is on
You got me tied down like a dog
So it is on, you got me down
I am leashed to your chair and your crown
I've been begging and screaming for mercy that never comes
Or an Angel to heed my calls
But no more soul searching and endless yearnings - no more

Mud and Clay
04:49
|

I'm seeding with deceit
Shadows gather in the streets
They compensate the lost when we bleed
Now see me smile as I fail again
As I exhale upon the touch of the divine
All I see is gray systematic decline
Of a world build on lies, especially mine
I wish this mind was stripped from decay
So little built on the ruins of all that failed
Lost the tools, and lost the vision, and with a shaking hand I gave up the wood and nails
Just to start over with mud and clay
- - - - -
A creature descended one day
An angel covered in a veil
For me to lift away
But a habit had descended one day
On a man in fundamental decay
He got stuck with this old reflection
No matter what he did, he couldn't change it
An eerie panic and fear then swept in
Cuz that creature she had settled herself deep
And he buried that little creep so deep
So deep, ohh so deep that you wouldn’t believe it.

Someday Baby
04:06
|

I believe you’ve gotten soft and weak
You’ve turned comfortable, lazy, fat and bleak
And I can no longer bear the stench
Having you around has come to a crumbling end
The Union did the payouts, n’ the banks they were bailed
Against raging stupidity even the best of the Gods have failed
But now the sleeves are rolled up, I believe that I’ve been saved
You paid the toils of my narrow escape
And someday baby – You ain’t gonna worry about me anymore
I dust my shoes on ruble from falling empires
And I fill my wallet with blood money from all your greedy desires
You’ve tried to reject me, you’ve been living in denial
But one day you won’t care, for what you get to haul out of the burning fires
And someday baby – You ain’t gonna worry about me anymore
I found a million dollars the Americans forgot
I saw the time had come to pack my shit and leave the state of Iraq
And I’m gonna burn it all, I believe I go dust my broom
I’ll cut you up in half, make me a furry handbag thing out of you
But someday baby – You ain’t gonna worry about me anymore
Through the midnight fire, we took a hell of a run
Now say your peace quick and be over the hills, and be gone
I got business further up ahead, I got a suitcase full of money
N’ if you ever cross my path, your next days won’t be coming
We did the act to fit the bill, to win our countries wars
And someday baby – You ain’t gonna worry about me anymore
I work hard on my numbers, but I’ll be done
Before you lay your mercy down, my debts will be paid and gone
But I have to cross country now, n’ lay long miles on the interstates
To lay my weeping face onto your green fields these troubling days
But someday baby – You ain’t gonna worry about me anymore
Yes someday baby – You ain’t gonna worry about me anymore!

Trees of Old
03:39

Trees of old your stories they’ve been told
Now you have to give us room
Your wisdom is laid down, repacked and stored
For the next ones to come
Dear Neda your spirit rests in the clouds, we'll bring it down
When we realize that we were wrong
Polish the dime, and climb, your story told is mine
Dear Neda, can you hear me up in the clouds?
Young trees and old clouds can you save us all?
The seas are rising and my drink is getting warm
No heart but heat for the farmers of Mexico
I'll keep burning cuz it's too cheap no to
I mean here it's still plenty cold
I should know cuz it's where I keep my home
No heart but heat for Mexico
I dropped the TV on my foot, and when the pain subsided I finally understood
What served had twisted our worlds
Looped us into a snarl and poisoned our hearts
Dear Neda, can you hear me up in the clouds?
Trees of old I'm too dumb to carry on
And when I'm gone, will you carve me into lumps?
Feed me to the next of kin, in the end trees of old you'll win
Please ask the clouds to take me in
Dear Neda your spirit rests in the clouds, we'll bring it down
When we realize that we were wrong
Polish the dime, and climb, your story told is mine
Dear Neda, can you hear me up in the clouds?

The Struggle
04:40

Like the path of a raindrop from the sky to the roots of a forest
Like the scent of nectar tampering the nerves in even the smallest
You move like you were meant to deceive
Creature come, creature go, silly creatures full of hope
But this is what I am, yeah this is what I am now
You eat me, deceive me, then feed me to the ground
Well heaven seem so far away, but my mind is poised to decay
And I keep moving cuz this – I simply can’t refrain
A distant light reflected through a maze of thousands of mirrors
A beacon lid by fire, but clouded in the mist of the unclear
It can snap and break all of your beliefs
Claim you pale and withered like the autumn leafs
So this is what I am, yeah this is what I am now
You tease me, you need me, then make me bite the ground
Well heaven seem so far away, but my mind is poised to decay
And I keep moving cuz this – I simply can’t refrain
The way of the future so beautiful, it can delude the creator
Tides and currents swallowing the heart and spirit of the predator
Puzzled and amused that we struggle through all of this
In our inherent predestined circular existence
But this is what I am, yeah this is what I am now
You eat me, deceive me, then feed me to the ground
Well heaven seem so far away, but my mind is poised to decay
And I keep moving cuz this – I simply can’t refrain
Hope be gone
Hope be gone again
So I can finally can tell
This circular existence

The Dying Song
05:31
|
|||
I think I’ll drown
But not in the cold high sea
Maybe in a lukewarm freshwater lake
Cuz this world just turned me in
Mid august I’ll drive my rig inland, to a country lake
Not too long, long drives make me sick
I’ll go fishing, and let the big one pull me in
And I promise you all that I’ll send this dying song
From the midst of these lonely woods where I’m at
It’s about the moon the stars and this life’s setting sun
And I’ll curse the hell out of fate, and everything that sure wasn’t fault
Yeah I’ll send you all this dying song
I could look up the calendar, see if I can find an eclipse
Or something else that’ll fit
Go on the net, find others like me
Throw us an orgy and suck on some tits
Yeah grab that ass, and pop the pill, meet the maker
And take the big trip away on her ship
And I promise you all that I’ll hum this dying song
While I grab these saddlebags, and ride on
My mid 90’ies chemical trip
Check out the caps cuz I assure you – This is the shit boy!
Yeah I’ll hum this dying song
Our old earth is dying, I saw it on TV
But I don’t know what the hell, that shit has to do with me
Could check in one of them hospices
In Switzerland or Monaco
Ask for some mercy, pay to be free
The doctors will nod and the nurses weep
Write the book and sell the script
Nag your bones with my insincerity
But I’m sure you all will be there to check it out
While you wait in line for the album to come out
Cellophane, tits n’ explosions and a nice flat screen
Celebrate life with a dose of modern cocaine
Yeah I’ll send you this dying song
My modern friends…
Yep…

Ohh No
05:17

Now I tried to go down to that lonesome place
Where they keep it on the ground – but ohh no
A beast is clinging to my soul
So I picked up the phone and placed a call
To the place where they got all the crazy ones down – but wohoa
We don’t send out white cabs to no clowns
What fills you up – takes me down
When you’re flying – I’m crawling on the ground
But when you cry – I go smiling all around
Ohh-ho – a beast is clinging to my soul
They said you sir! Your only talent is throwing people around
Punching holes in the walls, and keeping everyone else down
Being a white trash country boy really isn’t your fault
So I took me a break in a lodge, picked up the trail and gathered my thoughts
N’ Before I knew of it, the whole damn thing was sold off
Ohhh with all of that money, the politicians and lawyers almost began to glow in the dark
Though a whole native tribe had to be moved out of that national park
What fills me up – Will take you down
When I’m flying – You’ll be starving on the ground
And when you cry – I go smiling all around
Ohh-ho – a beast is clinging to my soul
Now we’re buying up futures on Oil, food and Meds
And when the lot is sold off, I’m gonna be richer than Kings
They say - old money is the best, but new is what’s gonna put your morals to the test
Then they called back from the institution, said it was time to come in
I said I don’t know where to begin, I’m on a roll here!
I just need me some booze and some hookers and some strong medicines
It’s way past my saving time, I’ll be wearing you boys down and thin
What fills me up – Will take you down
When I’m flying – You’ll be starving on the ground
And when you're dying honey – I go smiling all around
Ohh-ho – a beast is clinging to my soul
I walked a good thousand miles and newer got nowhere
But the next stretch I plan to go down with style
So screw you all, yeah screw you all - bye and bye
Yeah screw you all, and bye and bye!
