Mountain tops and whispered words
The Oracle's voice can barely be heard
She speaks of troops across some great unknown
She speaks of threats to the General's home
Lean in close she speaks to you
Every whisper a divine truth
And you can't doubt 'cause what do you know
You don't reside on the Mountain...You're from down below
From Mountain top now 'cross frozen waste
The men are dying, but they must keep the pace
Those that fall will be left behind
Take up their rations if you wish to survive
Huddle close your skin turns blue
To give in now would mean your suffering's through
But you won't give in, no you already know
You're gonna die in the battle...not out here in the snow
Now up ahead they see a fire's light
They pick up their swords, yes they're ready to fight
The men rush in, but now arrows fly
The General's captured as all around him die
Keep your head the end is near
They want you alive to know who sent you here
But they won't find out, no they'll never know
It was the one on the Mountain...You're from down below

Board up the windows
Lock all the doors
Out come the drunkards
The sinners and whores
An unknown terror
The feeling of doom
'Cause it's Friday the 13th
And it's a full moon
As the moon burns bright
And nothing feels right
As satan falls light speed towards Earth
There's blood on the ground
Strange whispers around
This elliptical orbit is cursed
A shadow of evil
Starts to engulf
As the sun goes down
Just after dusk
What happens next
A grotesque transformation
And it's all caused
By this lunar demon
This blasphemous night
Has only begun
There's only two options
It's hide or run
Hopes of survival
Have withered away
One month from now
Shall all be the same

Simultaniety

Things aren't quite what they seem
Just like waking in a dream
It is but it's not
You knew but you forgot
Simultaneously
The swinging door of body and mind
The entanglement there that you'll find
The role that both play
Influence flows both ways
Simultaneously
In total there is only one
Our division just a fraction of the sum
The part is the whole
Our consciousnesses unfold
Simultaneously

Paint the cave walls with blood
Chiseled ancient words in stone
In attempt to convey a meaning
Felt deep in our bones
The stone may live on
Sometimes words are so fleeting
Orbiting their intended meaning
But that's nothing new
We all rely on context
Who has delivered yours to you?
Studied the brain
Surveyed the youth
After crunching the numbers they've determined
There's no need to deal in truth
With deception it's easier to command
Printed word daily dose of lies
Your choice of propaganda to subscribe
They'll cater the message directly to you
ALL EYES ON THE SCREEN
WE'VE GOT A LIVE BROADCAST
FROM THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE!

Strange Days
06:52

Beyond the woods, no axe had cut
Hidden is the blasted heath
Unspoken by the Elder Ones
Of the poison that lies beneath
First the great rock fell from the sky
It broke all of science's rules
Unknown form of matter
'Cause it shrunk and refused to grow cool
Don't drink the water
Strange days are here
A plentiful harvest too good to be true as bites induce lasting disgust.
Poisonous soil spreading disease. Vegetation crumbles to dust.
Trees twitching morbidly in the night. Unnatural light from the well.
Rainbow of cryptic poison, feverish kaleidoscope from hell.
They built a dam to drown their sorrows, only making things worse
Now forever a haunted tomorrow, the once sacred water is cursed.

Fields

Infinite
emptiness,
but not complete.
Interactions of the fields of reality
seem to create
this matter. It is all we see,
but it's not
all we are
There is more.
So much more.
It's hidden from the eye.
Invisible fields collide.
Giving rise
to feelings of
something else.
Interpreting fields of reality
we create our mental states.
Yet so many still remain unaware
of the general dissonance
that has been building in the air.
There is more.
So much more.
It's hidden from the eye.
Invisible fields collide.
It's hidden from the eye.
Invisible fields collide.

Furrows of Worry
05:57

The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry. Don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people.
"Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real!"

This child's brain is twisted
Broke, but I can fix it
It simply must be done
For the schizoids, delinquents
and manically sick kids
The answer has finally come
The procedure is simple
Painless and on sale
Need not even leave your home
It's proven effective
I take cash of credit
It'll only run you 25 bones
I harvest the souls of children
Into the brain I drill them
I'm a criminal psychologist
Dr. Freeman the lobotomist
It only takes a few volts
knocks 'em right out cold
Yeah electroshock therapy
I hammer the ice pick
Insert through eyesocket
Just enough to fracture the skull
To remove all their sorrows
I separate both lobes
stir until connection is lost
In a matter of minutes
The demon is dismissed
I can make your dreams turn to dust
I harvest the souls of children
Into the brain I drill them
I'm a criminal psychologist
Dr. Freeman the lobotomist
