XXX Doom & Gloom

I'm gathering weapons and gold from where the 31 now lay dead on the ground
Once so stubborn and proud
Now slain and rotting like stray wild hounds
I carve their names into the crust of the earth
Once the rain, winds, and dust devils have wept for the hurt
Nothing will tell that young men were once bleeding over inches of dirt
I cross country now in machines of steel and fire
Over the plains and through the moors then into the fire
Where men were raised and taken from a blood stained mire
They raised their hammers and split mountains in two
Cut through forests and boiled up lakes into steaming fumes
Europe is a vibrant queen now cuz of the likes of you.
All that can creep and crawl gather in suburbs and small towns
They howl to the moon and stars for a night in your arms
They shoot like bullets over the rails
Over the fields and through the mountains and lakes
They seek out cities where the streets hold your name
And are flowing with tears from young boys crying in vain
Ohh Europa, when will you take us in?
Since the Gods of ancient Greece
To the rubber boat on a Turkish beach
There’s a fire that burns for you
Yes this fire burns renewed
Angel ohh mercy our cities drown in tears for you
I Charge my batteries with light from the moon
And I drink from bottles marked three X’s Doom & Gloom

Cold Dark I

Morning Come , Ohh Where did you come from?
Of all gods deserving children I ain’t one
I’m riding that old 9:07
Close to Earth – far from heaven
With a red cast shadow on every wall
I’ve been burning on the heat from below
Yet a song yet a song from the cold dark I
Yet a song yet a song from the cold dark I
Yeah It’s a song It’s a song from the cold dark I
It’s a song It’s a song from the cold dark I
Feels like I’ve been living of the salt of the earth
I’ve been keeping you down since the date of my of birth
When the gods returns to split the herd
Surely you would fly and I would fall and burn
Yet a song yet a song from the cold dark I
Yet a song yet a song from the cold dark I
Yeah It’s a song It’s a song from the cold dark I
It’s a song, It’s a song from the cold dark I
Dark money will be roaming this world tonight
Beware of the naked man offering you a shirt
I’ve been the man leaving people like you out in the cold
I’ve been writing on that bill that keeps you out of the light

Take Me Apart
03:41
|

I often sit lone in the dark
With a pounding heart
I feel the pressure coming on
Only enlightenment would be coming out of a gun
I’ve been lured into a trap
Like a beast or like a cat
I thought that I was on the pray
I thought that I was on the pray but then the cage came down in a snap
They got our world wrapped up nice,
And the right ones strapped in nice and tight
Look down on me from miles high
They got our world wrapped up nice, and a deck of cards stacked just right
Dark money will be rolling and rocking this world tonight
I got a big case of beer, and I still got money on the card
I got smoke and snow to make the devil long red and hard
Ohh lord let that burning mercy come take me apart
Ohh lord let that burning mercy come tear me up
I’ve dug diamonds in the rough
Just to see them cut me apart
Can I see through all the scars?
I’ve dug out diamonds in the rough just to see you run with it all
Now I ram down shots so hard
Just to cope with the job
Fat man sits right at the top
I’m ramming down my shots so hard they could have come from a firing squad
Ohh lord let that burning mercy come take me apart
I’m everybody’s friend
I’m buying out round like it had no end
But my pockets are as hollow as our hollow talking government
Ohh lord let that burning mercy come take me apart
Ohh lord let that burning mercy come tear me up

Greatness will flow
Empires will come and go
Sun up and down and I’ll carry the minute we had like my crown
I was like a leaf floating down a stream
Like the wind sifted through the branches of a tree
Of all the simplest things I don’t seem to catch the beat
And a beautiful thing like love I simply couldn’t hold or keep
Cuz at some point I didn’t stop to see – and look at me now

You shattered something else than my bones
The scar you left I climbed into and made my home
I'm the king of all that and everything
And I sit here alone forsaken and shivering
You roam the heavens that now have me cursed to hell
I have become the Devil’s burning whelp
A servant to the halls I once roamed
And a king on his broken throne
This runs through me as blood through veins
I am stubborn and stupid a beggar and a king
Where is the grave where I can find my peace?
Where can I bury the memories I no longer need?
I cling to something cursed and confused
Like gold and diamonds they cling to fools
And I carry a madness within
I am a keeper of the original sin
A mind filled with bad habits
And they thrive within
Cuz this runs through me as blood through veins
I am stubborn andd stupid a beggar and a king
Yes this runs through me as blood runs through veins
I am stubborn and stupid a beggar and a king
And am I Cursed?
I seem to be repeating the same old words
Like an animal I'm on my hands and feet
Shattered, broken down and weak to my knees
I lay in a tomb with not even shallow peace
I only have memories I no longer need
You may roam the Heavens that have cursed me to hell
But at least I sit here as the Devil’s burning whelp
Cuz this runs through me as blood through veins
I am stubborn and stupid a beggar and a king
Yes this runs through me as blood runs through veins
I am stubborn and stupid a beggar and a king

Tie a Rope

Tie a rope round your hopes and dreams
Looking now in wonder coming down the stream
They are coming down the railroads
They are coming in from sea
Cuz you tied a rope round your hopes and dreams
Gonna ring ‘em in
I’ve been paced around in this old machine
Your song is a bore, now ain’t that a theme
I’ve become quite famous for not doing what was told
I may look young but I’m calculated devious and cold
Gonna bring ‘em down, Gonna ring ‘em in
Walk right in nail ‘em to the floor
Cuz this they haven’t seen before
It’s all now in structure no luck tied to a chicken bone
Yes it’s business, it is money and it’s bloody damn cold
Gonna bring ‘em in gonna bring ‘em down
Now tie a rope round your hopes and dreams
Look at you all coming down the stream
Well I had a lot of good intentions
But they passed like a reefers glow
Tidy up daddy cuz we’re gunning you down
Go down swinging or run uphill run for cowering ground
Gonna bring ‘em in, gonna bring ‘em down
Gonna bring ‘em down, gonna ring ‘em in
I tell ya right off the bat, it’s good to be here, and I’m never going back

Jacob's Dream
04:37

Well I woke up helpless on the barroom floor
This girl wants to take me with her out the door
Well I tried to yell it - I’m a committed man
Pretty sure I was shaking my head
When she flashed me parts of her body that were not tanned
Oh the earth was shaking underneath my bed
And my mind was quaking
Cuz that creature sure can make one a god fearing man
So let me shine the truth, I never had a woman quite like you
Yes shine the truth! Shine the truth, never had a woman quite like you
One stone cold morning I drifted away
Then the whole world was shaking
like a thousand riders coming over the hills down my way
The lord pulled me aside and the world fell dark to my eyes
All I heard was this graceful voice
I have given you this creature now your kin must spread and multiply
So let me shine the truth, I never had a god quite like you
Yes shine the truth, shine the truth, never had a god quite like you
Well I tossed the seeds into the roaring stream
A divine gift for her to take and embrace these lands with my sweet sweet kin
Now all you good people gather round to see
It’s my beautiful band of angels spread like the twelve tribes of Israel from sea to shining sea
So let me shine the truth, I never had a god quite like you
Yes shine the truth, shine the truth, never had a god quite like you

Long Time a Coming
03:31

We keep on going until the power goes dead
We keep on groovin ‘till the end of it
Keep on doing what we do best
Until the very end of it
Yeah darling you and me both
Lift up your arms and take it in
Don’t care how long you go
Don’t care how long you stay
Just to keep moving like a howling wind
Be out there again and darling let us in
You ain’t seen the light of day for weeks
But feel it glowing deep within your veins
It’s been a long time coming
But now it’s finally going our way
They are coming down the hills
They cross over the moors
They are heading for the cities
They are sweeping the streets around you door
Now you tell yourself – long time a coming
But now the price is yours
It’s been a long time coming
But now it seems the price is finally yours
We keep on going until the power goes dead
We keep on groovin ‘till the end of it
I’ve been feeling restless again cuz I’ve ignored the flame
Now try to burn twice as fast
Cuz I shied away from the task at hand
It’s been a long time coming
But now I think it’s finally coming my way

God is God

God is God and light is light
But I’m stuck with a heart filled with fear and fright
And it's time to be honest yeah It’s time to throw down
Bad things are coming and we're left to drown
God is God and light is light
A knuckle to the nose is gonna end this fight
You better play your cards before He flicks your switch
Yeah you better face the fact that your life didn't mean shit
I barely even learned how to sing my own songs
No one’s here, and now come the undertow
God is God and light is light
Looking down at the pillage in Raqqa tonight
No one behind the wheel of this garbage truck
No One, yeah no one, no one, hey WTF!
Let all the angels see what you made of it all
A bucket full nothing and blood dripping down the walls
God is God and light is light
Satellites are pissing out strings of lies
You may hold on tight to your bleeding heart
Mona Lisa might be smiling but she's falling apart
I signed up for Mars but didn't get to go
Yeah why reboot a cancelled show
Well you may look real tight wrapped around them bones
But no matter who you're screwing you'll be leaving this planet alone

Shadow Icon Pt.2
02:36

I woke roasted to a bad dream
Breathing fumes of pure gasoline
Broken down and lost on the front seat
Now I’m like an ebb into the ocean
Like a ship drifting into unknown reaches of the sea
A feeling started to spread like an unwanted notion
That I got nothing left but to stare down this defeat
Cuz at some point I didn’t stop to see – and look at me now yes look at me now
And I kept marching on until the day you were gone
Yes I kept marching on until the day you were gone
My pride now I see how it stands there wide and tall on the ground
Yes my pride how it stands there wide and tall on the ground

Over the mountains and into the sea
Right into the belly of the beast
At the foothills of our souls We stand gazing at the cold peaks
The neck is bend the eyes are cold
Cuz I too have tossed my share of rotten seeds
I wonder, my actions are they a reflection of how I want it to be?
Face in the mud and dirt on the floor
Face in the mud and it’s all like so many times before.
Am I a bad man? Guess we’ll have to wait and see
I’ve been sitting here in this dark cellar
With a heart filled with fear and fright
Time to be honest bad things will come
Before we see the light
There’s a solid and sad state of decay
Sweeping these beautiful lands where we were born and raised
They still teach us how to put on a uniform
But not how take it off again
Face in the mud and dirt on the floor
Face in the mud and it is all like so many times before.
Are we bad men? Guess we’ll have to wait and see
I head of the rise of an angry red creature
A fat old beast spewing out lies and deceit
With pigs eyes and a fat belly and a dragons greed
Everyone mourns something that they left
But when Hillary tossed her morals she cried out theft
Perhaps at the foothills of her own soul
She will find something gazing at the cold peaks
Face in the mud, dirt on the floor
Face in the mud and it is all like so many times before.
Are we bad men? Guess we’ll have to wait and see
