Nowhere Town
This town ain’t dead
It just stopped living long ago
with tinfoil and masking tape
up on the windows.
On just another Friday night
Dressed up like a Monday in this town
everyone keeps to themselves
and talks everyone down.
Everybody’s no one, in Nowhere Town
And no body knows what, is going down
There ain’t nothing new, on Cafe Avenue
And we live behind our walls to hide the truth
In Nowhere Town
You can watch the cars drive by
And still feel all alone.
Walking on the street
Like a hundred times before.
And just this once,
Finding there’s maybe someone you know.
But the tires fire past
And leave you in the snow
Everybody’s no one, in Nowhere Town
And no body knows what, is going down
The darkness hides behind those eyes
The still waters is just a disguise
Nowhere Town it squeezes tight
You choke you spit it don’t feel right
Everybody’s no one, in Nowhere Town
And no body knows what, is going down
In Nowhere Town
Welcome to Hell

Deadend
its the edge of the world
Deadend
where the clock don’t work
Deadend
mirror yourself grow old
Deadend
throw in your hand you fold
Deadend,
Build it up to burn it down
Build it up I’ll burn it down
Deadend
its the ties that divide
Deadend
bury the world inside
Deadend
on the edge of the world
Deadend
let the plot unfurl
sleep walk
pine trees and horizons
but there always fear
slow talkin’ about nothin’
something it just aint right here

Solitary Man

|
He appeared from the centre of the universe, Solitary man.
Crawled down the vine, looking fine now he's keepin’ peace under endless skies.
Ain't no way you can run from him,
Get on yer horse and ride .
If you have ever sinned you better go out and hide.
Solitary man
Ages alone in the dark and his heart went
Black as night.
Treacherous it was but for a cause
She’s hungry now.
His angry gift assures justice won't fall.
He couldn't fear any weapon at all.
Solitary man
Blood in his eyes aint all that he conceals,
A matter of time before your fate is sealed.

The Plot Thickens
03:47
|
|||
|
Fake black masses in the forest, trying to impress
Abandoned stubbies in the fire indicate distress
Black red robes and basement walls
The devil moves through all
So raise the horns and be reborn
And hear their crimson calls
Something it just ain't right here
The plot thickens
The devil travels in so many forms
And she wants a sacrifice
The blood of the young, the red and the dumb
They will suffice
Gonna send the snake to you…
The plot thickens
The plot thickens
The thought sickens
The plot thickens
Light the candle
Give the command
Grip the handle
Drown in the sand
Get ready for the flood
Get ready
Gonna send the snake to you…
The plot thickens
Light the candle
Give the command
Grip the handle
Drown in the sand
Get ready for the flood
Something it just ain’t right here

The Devil Needs Blood
07:44
|
|||
|
Cruelty has a human heart and jealousy a human face
Terror the human form divine and secrecy the human dress
You can be one of us
Kneel and accept the blade
As her bones grind to dust
None remember her faces or the names
Silence closes in
The feral fires rage in her eyes
The last grain of sand has finally fallen
Shattering hourglasses
And shattering lives
The moon has risen
And the shadows dust
Arise serpent of flame
Thunders of Urizen bellow loud
The earth cracks in pain
The devil needs blood
Dressed in clothes of fire
Fields of circled black
A brooder of an evil day
Is shackled to the track
Still fall through the void
Found for falling day and night
The day was not the end
From the wasteland I have come
Bring the seeker to my home
The dragon comes, the steel alive
Cracked into numberless fragments
The prophetic wrath struggling for vent hurls apart
Stamping furious to dust
And crumbling with bursting
Heaves the black heart into fragments
Groans of many ages young,
Til there grew many branchy cages
Organizing the humans into finite, inflexible stone
Let rise the harvest
The moon has risen
And the shadows dust
Arise serpent of flame
Thunders of Urizen bellow loud
The earth cracks in pain
The devil needs blood
The human dress is forged iron
The human form a firey forge
The human face a furnace sealed
The human heart
Is Devil’s Blood

Heading for the Light
04:03
|
|||
|
I built a cage every day and I like it that way
make it smaller and tighter in time
slam and lock the door and stare at the floor
ignore the calls that come from outside
every emotion is a weapon to me intimidating into inaction
and every sign screams liberty rushing onto overreaction
rev up the engine like a crooked intention
tires sound a final word
pointing into the one direction never taken
and seldom heard
I’m heading for the light
they’ve forgotten the names and found someone to blame
the cage hangs open and lonely
when you got nothing to do it can turn on you
the monster is brittle and stoney
every move is useless motion to me and the static has electrified
every memory is a muscle to free the beast that has been raging inside
rev up the engine like a crooked intention
leaving is the final word
pointing into the one direction never taken
and seldom heard
I’m heading for the light
where the sky is bright
I’m heading for the lights
with the bright light fright
shadows cast no sympathy from under the blame
pointing towards the open skyline time burns out your name
rev up the engine like a crooked intention
tires sound a final word
pointing into the one direction never taken
and seldom heard
I’m heading for the light
where the sky is bright
with the bright light fright
I’m going tonight

Why Stiff
Finger? Our hands were really cold while jamming in my dad's barn in Saskatchewan. Didn't really think of the middle finger!
We're a group of friends that started jamming together on some songs the singer wrote. They started sounding good so we recorded 'em.
