1. Say Goodbye To Mother Earth
It's time to stop this mindless system
System of death that destroys the earth
We're not blind, I see the changes come
Barren toxic wastelands when they're done
Save her
Chrystal clear waters become lakes of poison
Lush gree forests destroyed for one reason
Dying generation that brings us down
We got to make the mother fuckers step down
We're gonna bring 'em down
Revolution with a cause
Save the air, trees, water and the animals
Just for their greed they'll make the sacrifice
World where we live so now we gotta fight
2. Kali-Yuga
Ancient reminders of worlds gone by,
Concrete tombstones reach for the sky,
Like hieroglyphic writings on the wall,
Modern man just doesn't seem to hear his call,
Force of times behind the changes bound to come,
Primitive man was once forced to succumb,
Both caught in a web of eternal quest,
Wiped out by their search for conquest,
Taken back to a land of wonder and of fear,
Prehistoric creatures stalked the wild frontier,
All can be told in unlocking of the past,
Cyclical repetition ah we see the contrast,
Skeletons in a closet as dark as the mind,
Hidden truths there shine light for the blind,
Somewhere back in time when cave dwellers walked,
Was a spoken language that needed not be talked,
Extinction found the way to man of yesterday,
Only to occur in tragedies today,
Lost innocence in the maze of confusion,
Sets the final stage for this drama of illusion,
Simplicity's dig to unfold great mysteries,
As we plunge forward engulfed by our destinies,
What will future man uncover in our ruin,
Kali-Yuga progresses wheels of time are spun,
Technological society buried by ignorance,
Fossils for decay victims of circumstances
3. War On The Streets
Another stick up kid takes another life today,
Monkey on his back crackpipe in the ashtray,
Sweet little girl dumps her baby in the alley,
Got knocked up by a rapist in the valley,
Hooker on the corner dressed in drag got robbed out,
Stabbed 40 times by a psycho that was down and out,
Just when I try to relax and think it's alright,
I hear a gunshot and a siren in the dead of night.
War on the streets ‒ it's crazy out there,
War ‒ and the cops don't care,
War on the streets ‒ it ain't safe at night,
War ‒ got you running for your life.
Imminent danger of a never ending race war,
Rich bitch wanna terminate the poor,
Watch us kill each other looking down from their penthouse,
Now they're running scared 'cause they can't escape the madhouse,
No one's safe from the violence and madness,
Killing each other's just never ending sadness,
Crack dealer on the corner played the fool,
The other day he shot a kid on his way to school.
Are we at war?
4. Death In The Womb
I can tell you that the murder's plain to see,
Every time I think about the unborn's misery,
I know that every soul's got a right to live
And so you take that life that only god could give.
Oh, you know it's true,
Oh, your body your choice,
Now listen to your unborn babies voice.
You know I'm never gonna see the light of day,
Not a single word ever will I say,
When there's death in the womb life is lost
And your life will someday be the cost.
You see the prophecy's unfolding,
They told us what this age would bring,
I've taken shelter in your womb and it's become my resting tomb.
I can tell you that the murder's plain to see,
Every time I think about the unborn's misery,
I know that every soul's got a right to live
And so you take that life that only god could give
5. Time I Am
Many eyes look to the skies never to see me,
All is lost by the power of time and that which must be, time
I am, destroyer of your world,
My wrath won't be surpassed as I down all in my path,
As time takes its toll upon the seasons,
I am the force creating change,
You have to dream each breath as it may be your last,
You can study me but you'll never know just what happened in the past.
Time I am ‒ I am that time.
Conquest no one will evade me,
My test will you lose your dignity,
Moments that you try to embrace,
Get snatched ripped from outta time and space,
Cruel hand of the master called time,
Wreaks havoc on you every lifetime,
Time will make its final sever,
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Use me, oh so very wisely,
Or grow old only to despise me,
Seconds pass who can ever possess,
Moving on with such grace and finesse,
Victims caught in a web of quest,
Crying out trying to achieve their best,
Time I am the only killer of all,
I am your eternal downfall
6. Reflections
Between birth and death we must find in ourselves,
Keepers of secrets stored on life's shelves,
Locked in our souls they key is always the past,
Don't hold on to things 'cause you know that they just never last,
Somewhere in time your eternal quest,
Your fear of dying will be the first test,
Looking for meaning to find some purpose to life,
Answers to questions that tear at your heart like a knife,
Mysteries are but ephemeral reflections in time,
Oceans of wisdom run so deep and sublime.
How far have we come, left so much behind,
Escaping your nature block it out of our mind,
Sold us a dream full of pain and despair,
So lost in illusion we haven't a prayer.
Cycles of change surely to come,
As time destroys all,
All that we've done.
Dig in your souls reflect in your hearts,
'cause death is behind us to tear us apart,
Show you no mercy, no mercy at all,
The valley of death it echoes its call
7. Near Death Experiences
8. The Other Side Of Madness
Walking alone in the cold dark night,
Got a chill in my bones no relief's in sight,
So much time spent with revenge as a thought,
In this life alone so many wars I've fought,
Oh leave what you know behind,
I till take you beyond the limits of your mind,
So take a trip with me to the other side of madness,
So close to the edge,
The other side is madness,
This ain't no fantasy,
The other side is calling me,
So take a trip with me,
Tell me if you think you really dare,
Try to hold on just for sanity's sake,
So many so-called friends turned out to be fake,
You better hope that there's a better way than me as the hunter
'cause you know you're the prey,
Oh leave what you know behind,
I till take you beyond the limits of your mind,
So take a tip with me to the other side of madness,
So close to the edge,
The other side is madness,
This ain't no fantasy,
The other side is calling me,
So take a trip with me,
Tell me if you think you really dare
