CORPORATE AVENGER LYRICS

1. When I Get To Heaven

At times our ideas of God have served us well.
They have been quoted as the inspiration for acts of incredible benevolence.
Conversely, they have been used as the inspiration for acts of horrible cruelty and terrible violence as man has contemplated his place in the universe.

Holy wars, crusades, jihads, these are some of the darkest, most violent acts of aggression mankind has committed unto himself, and they were all done in the name of his religions.

These are the choices for behaviors, individuals have made.

These are the acts of violence we reject, yesterday, today, and forever.

Where have our concepts of God failed us, it is at the point which one creation is asked to harm another, it is at the time when one concept of God is held above another.
It is at the time when our weakness as mortal beings with a finite view of forever cannot conceive of unending, pure, infinite, unconditional love.

Now is the time to move forward in a positive and peaceful manner, as we embrace the merging of intelligence and spirituality and move together into a space of higher consciousness and a future of seemingly unimaginable possibilities, and abandon our tiny concepts of God before we destroy one another forever...

2. Jihad Schmihad

Seems evident You pray we die
Seems relevant To ask you why?
People die when devils fly
your religions poisonous
Jihad is a murder cry
disguised as self-defense
How can you wish, death on another
What kind of God says kill your brother
Death wish of a holy man?
Ordained by God himself?
Oxymoron evident
for how can faith be violent

In the name of the father
There is nothing holy about your war
They kill for Allah
There is nothing holy about your war
Death is their master
There is nothing holy about your war
For life ever after

Seems evident You pray we die
You will kill to take your place by my side
Hates your mission
know it well, kill the infidel?
Condemn their tiny unmade souls
and send them all to hell
What kind of love, says kill each other?
What will you do, when you discover?
That what you do has no excuse and is not heaven sent,
for no true God would justify, your disregard for human life.

In the name of the father
There is nothing holy about your war
They kill for Allah
There is nothing holy about your war
Death is their master
There is nothing holy about your war
For life ever after

So let me get this straight
you strap a bomb on your back
and murder thousands of innocent people
and all because they don't believe what you believe
and you're gonna end up in the kingdom of God?
Man you're out of your fucking mind.

Your mind, you're out of your mind,
out of your fucking mind,
to believe you'll be forgiven,
your mind, you're out of your mind,
you've lost your fucking mind,
in the name of your religion.
The gift is life we should not abuse it.
The word is love we cannot confuse it.
When our beliefs become ill conceived
they spread our disease and become our fear and lies
Twisting things these pawns of the crooked kings.
Deceivers of the dull humanity.
They sharpen swords on the words of the books
on the God they behead when
they pollute truth with lies.
These devils in disguise.

In the name of the father
There is nothing holy about your war
They kill for Allah
There is nothing holy about your war
Death is their master
There is nothing holy about your war
For life ever after

3. Earth Song

Behold
the glow
Blue Earth
and the knowledge it bestows
to our ashes, through our robes
into the universe we flow
Like water rising, the flood is coming,
and I don't think that you can hold your breath,
like water rising, it's all consuming
and we never learned to hold our breath

Don't talk about freedom
while you're building prisons all across our land
Your thunder and sky right on time
Don't talk about Jesus
while you kill the Gods that live inside our head

Below
we choke
on the smoke
from our arrogance we've shown
we don't listen
to simple wisdom
and soon enough we'll know
The fire's rising, the fire's breathing
and you never learned to hold your breath,
the fire's breathing, it's all consuming
and I don't think they'll be anything left.

Don't talk about freedom
while you're building prisons all across our land
Your thunder and sky right on time
Don't talk about Jesus
while you kill the Gods that live inside our head
Your thunder and sky

We're disconnected.
Circle mother
holy ground
coming from those here that love you
we want to sing a song
that when you hear shines like the sun above you
wash us in your soothing rain
Cold ice mountain hide your pain
That we have inflicted
with our memory loss of where we came

Teach the children all you can.

4. Gay Muslims For Christ

Some promise heaven to you
Give you something you can die for
Trust in God and he'll be true
Seems he needs you for his war

There's no virgins in the palace of the Lord,
a child-killing God would not deserve to fuck a whore
They say their jihad is holy
but it makes sense to them only
So we pay for their faith everyday with our lives.

Gay Muslims for Christ,
it's that absurd to me,
it's like a twisted kind of christinsanianity
they kill for Allah, live to die by the sword?
What a fucked up way to praise your Goddamned Lord.

I could move the earth for you
Give you something you can die for
trust Allah and he'll be true
Seems he needs to for his war

There's no virgins in the palace of the Lord,
a child-killing God would not deserve to fuck a whore
They say their jihad is holy
but it makes sense to them only
So we pay for their faith everyday with our lives.

Gay Muslims for Christ,
it's that absurd to me,
it's like a twisted kind of christinsanianity
they kill for Allah, live to die by the sword?
What a fucked up way to praise your Goddamned Lord.

It's all what you weave, when you achieve your blanket of life.
And it's all what you retrieve with your completeness and your light.
Now it's the same old story,
different glory,
kingdoms come and go you know.
Time for absolution,
old solution,
here's the power watch it grow and grow and grow...

Gay Muslims for Christ,
it's that absurd to me,
it's like a twisted kind of christinsanianity
they kill for Allah, live to die by the sword?
What a fucked up way to praise your Goddamned Lord.

5. Pigs In The Temple

Feed the sickness of the victor
Crowd the icons with familiar
Fill the buckets of forgiven
Waste the value of the living.

You try to break me, shape me.
school me, fool me, but you will never rule me.

So do it, move it.
Come on and step up
if it makes you feel brave
Close your eyes and close your mind
if you think you'll be saved.

Speak it, preach it,
man I can dig it,
You don't think you're a slave,
When you close your time will your spirit fly,
are you sure you're not afraid.

So now you carry crosses to your victims
Yet another soul eviction
See the madness overtake them
When the answers all escape them

You try to break me, shape me.
school me, fool me,
but you will never rule me.

So do it, move it.
Come on and step up
if it makes you feel brave
Close your eyes and close your mind
if you think you'll be saved.

Speak it, preach it,
man I can dig it,
Your saviour made you a slave,
When it's time to die will your spirit fly,
are you sure you're not afraid.

So now there's pigs who wallow in the temple
Overcomplicate the simple
Missions killed our earth connection
Now we're left with no direction
So fill the vessels of the hollow
There's only poison left to swallow
Ancient knowledge gone forever
Now what holds us all together?

Medicine men down in the narrow...

You try to break me, shape me,
school me, fool me,
but you will never rule me.

6. White Faces In The Black Hills

[featuring Tim Jr.]

"...see I care about you guys,
I respect you because you were created by God,
and your mom, and your parents,
the reason why I'm here,
is so that you can teach your children..."

Some say there's a residue
of the things we do in the places we do them
Now we're living at the scene of the crime
we bought a one-way ticket to the front of the line.

"...cuz I show you kindness doesn't mean I'm weak,
because I'm not going to play your game..."

Four fathers from another place
Holy Mountain has a new face

"...I wouldn't say respect,
because I told them
you know respect and fear are 2 separate things,
and I'm not afraid of you but I have respect for you..."

White Faces in the Black Hills
now we've got a new deal with no choice you'll take it.
And you know we stole it.
Cause we never sold it

"...they gave you that knowledge to do this so,
it's not really your theory, it came from the spirits,
and if you believe that way
then you understand what I'm talking about..."

Send theirs prayers to the one in the sky,
but they only seem to die.

"...but your children are innocent
they don't know any better,
so whatever it is that you're doing
you're passing that stuff on to your children
and I want to protect your children..."

Now we're living at the scene of the crime
we bought a one-way ticket to the front of the line.
And you know we stole it
Cause we never sold it
Yeah they never sold it
Yeah we never sold it

Anger circles growing
Anger circles breathing
Anger circles closing in
Cause histories not changing
and this pain is not erasing
Like the stone that it's carved in.
Mountain eyes that sold the lies
Like an evil mans design
Now the trees hold all the memories
In these places that remind.

White Faces in the Black Hills
now we've got a new deal with no choice you'll take it,
Now we're living at the scene of the crime
we bought a one-way ticket to the front of the line.

Rushmore, no more
deny our history it's there for all to see

"...and the day you realize the gift that you have,
the more powerful you'll be,
so the choice is up to you,
are you going to trust that gift and believe in it
or are you just going to go ahead and say you're like everybody else..."

7. Jesus Shit

Jesus shit what a crock
Now you say that the church was built on a rock
But that rock is on top of the millions of dead
Who could not get that Jesus shit into their heads
No, no, no that's a lie
These are dishonest people with dishonest lives
Now they say that they know but they can't understand
how that version of Christ is a lie and a scam.
No more pearls to the swine,
why does saving your soul mean abandon your mind?
If there's power in God and the things that you say,
you should trust in his love and get out of its' way.
Why why why try to scare,
one's relation to God is a private affair
If your's taught to love then get on with your plan,
you don't have to destroy what you don't understand.
Tiny version... so incomplete.
Tiny virgin... so incomplete.
Holy rollers please call off your soldiers,
see your marching orders, they destroy our lives.
Pick up pieces from your soul diseases;
try to reconnect them with our ancient minds.
Jesus shit what a crock
Now you say that the church was built on a rock
But that rock is on top of the millions of dead
Who could not get that Jesus shit into their heads
No, no, no that's a lie
These are dishonest people with dishonest lives
Now they say that they know but they can't understand
how that version of Christ is a lie and a scam.
Tiny version... so incomplete.
Tiny virgin... so incomplete.
Holy rollers please call off your soldiers,
see your marching orders, they destroy our lives.
Pick up pieces from your soul diseases;
try to reconnect them with our ancient minds.

Jesus shit what a crock.

8. In The Alone

They say that silence is golden
this comes as no surprise
when we retreat to the strength in the back of our minds,
inquire, decide, remind of a time, in line with the world outside.

Don't shoot, I can see the light in their eyes?
Don't you, I can see the light in their eyes?
They say that silence is golden
this comes as no surprise
when we retreat to the strength in the back of our minds,
inquire, decide, remind of a time, in line with the world outside.

You'll find me in the alone.
I'd fly from the sun to the moon.
Just to feel you, just to heal you, it'll be alright.
The journeys long to the place of healing let go into the light.

Don't shoot, I can see the light in their eyes?
Don't you, I can see the light in their eyes?
They say that laughter is holding the key to longer life,
when our defeat so complete that we don't even try,
we smile, relax feel good and be kind, then give to the world outside...

You'll find me in the alone.
I'd fly from the sun to the moon.
Just to feel you, just to heal you, it'll be alright.
The journeys long to the place of healing let go into the light.
You'll find me in the alone.
I'd fly from the sun to the moon.

My brother, these days won't be this heavy for long.
My sister, don't you choose to carry burdens alone.
Decent lives in tiny quarters, narrow shoulders, bearing their loads.
These days it feels the same, but the same can never return.
You see we try to find our place in life,
it seems like every day we sacrifice,
so many hours gone to pay for life,
don't let your point of life, become that sacrifice.

9. America In Heaven (there's No)

I heard a small man say that God is on our side
I don't think in Heaven
that they're waving the stars and stripes
It seems a simple mind, feeds the foolish man
I don't see any wars in my creators plan.
Leave our God out please, when killing human beings,
who are born to families in lands other than these.
cause,
There's no America in Heaven.
If God's got bombs we better not upset him.

I've heard the freedom cries from high upon the throne
They send our kids to die, but never send their own
If God almighty takes your side in killing man
Then God's your murder king who leads you by the hand.
Your divine beliefs that fuel the war machine,
the feeds us agony but one day you will see that...

There's no America in Heaven.
If God's got bombs we better not upset him.

A need to follow...
Then follow become fallen...
While those that lead
you know they never lead the charge,
and so we keep their secrets,
hang them from our reason,
borrow from our anger
and we pay their debts for war...

I heard a small man say
that God is on our side

10. 9.12

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall inherit the label of non-patriot,
and be condemned by the profiteers of war...
No, no, no delight,
in seeing fading light
inside the thinking minds
for fear of condemnation
Know what it means to be right
and say all the things you believe in
Know, that the truth that you see
when you speak can be the end of you.
No, no paradise
for those who sacrifice
for a God who's made of lies
and murders non-believers.
Know what it means to be right
and say all the things you believe in
Know, that the truth that you see
when you speak can be the end of you.
The idea that an omnipresent creator
would ordain free will on the created,
sending them into darkness
then reveal the truth about his nature
to a select few supposedly ordained
to distribute throughout the world
an unveiling of the nature
of an insecure, violent, sometimes kind, child killing God,
sounds more like the musings of some kind of heavenly crack addict
than anything we should worship or model ourselves after...
No, no guiding light
for those who kill for Christ
a worthless sacrifice for feeble minds of hatred.
Know what it means to be right
and say all the things you believe in
Know, that the truth that you see
when you speak can be the end of you.

I won't fear that which put me here.

11. Nano Builder

Mediocracy,
our hypocrisy,
we won't survive our technology
Our duality,
the balance beam,
is teetering toward our extinction.

Man as animal
earth ritual
A rhythm to our lives
From the morning sun
till the night would come
time was on our side
We got smarter and smarter and larger
and we lost our spiritual side
We learned to kill so good
it's a wonder we've survived our own design.

Mediocracy,
our hypocrisy,
we won't survive our technology
Our duality,
the balance beam,
is teetering toward our extinction.
The meglomanity,
of our humanity
it left an opening with no connection
So we were compromised,
it lead to our demise,
now our inventions sing of our extinction.

Here we are today about to celebrate
our greatest achievements
The grandness of our size it's right before our eyes
now they know they're alive.
They get smaller and smaller and smarter and smarter,
man if they get a plan,
there'll be no one left
to tell the story of how they got rid of man.
Mediocracy,
our hypocrisy,
we won't survive our technology
Our duality,
the balance beam,
is teetering toward our extinction.
Egomaniacs
sailed into the black,
the silver cord was broke we'll never make it back,
by our own device we were compromised,
now we're teetering on our extinction.
Mediocracy,
our hypocrisy,
we won't survive our technology
Our duality,
the balance beam,
is teetering toward our extinction.
The meglomanity,
of our humanity
it left an opening with no connection
So we were compromised,
it lead to our demise,
now our inventions sing of our extinction.

12. Boarding Schools

Brave these things that your culture may survive.
A connection to land
they could not understand
so they came to remove them.
And their parents would cry
and be left asking why
but the soldiers ignored them.
Then they took them away
from the place they belonged to
and removed any trace
of their faith and their culture.

Any trace of the place they belonged to...
Memories
from children of those who came before
were stolen away forever
by soldiers that came to take them away
to their boarding school nightmare.

They fell from the sky
To this land where they died
And the spirits moved through them.
Till their language was gone
along with their songs
Seemed God no longer knew them.
Would a native race find a place in the future?
Would a painted face hide the pain of no culture?

Any trace of the place they belonged to...
Memories
from children of those who came before
were stolen away forever
by soldiers that came to take them away
to their boarding school nightmare.

We set the controls of our souls and head out for the sun
The day is long right now but soon winter will come
What's 30 miles from death could be a million miles from home
We can die among the trees, or live here all alone.
Memories

Any trace of the place they belonged to...
Memories
from children of those who came before
were stolen away forever
by soldiers that came to take them away
to their boarding school nightmare.

Brave these things that your culture may survive.

13. Every Moment Is A Gift

Every moment
every moment, is a gift
in this world, ever changing,
breathe it in
Consequence,
something's gotta give here,
something's gotta give
Breathe it in,
consequence,
Every moment,
every moment, is a gift,
Breathe it in,
Words we've said
That left our souls in danger
Lead not our hearts to anger
Oh, but every moment brings
Complicated simple things,
I just want to find, inside of you...
I just want to lie inside of you...
I just want to hide...
Lives we've lived
They left our souls in danger
They led our hearts to anger
Oh, but every moment brings
complicated simple things...
I just want to find, inside of you...
I just want to lie inside of you...
I just want to hide inside of you...
Every moment, every moment, is a gift
In this world, ever changing, breathe it in
Consequence, something's gotta give here,
something's gotta give
Breathe it in, consequence,
Every moment, every moment, is a gift,
Breathe it in...
