DEVIN TOWNSEND LYRICS

1. A Monday...

[Instrumental]

2. Coast

The way it goes, is the way it goes.
I'm all right to go
So go...
...you go.
They took their things and headed for the coast
Denied of all in life they needed most
Loves forgotten child
born into the wild
Come to the coast, come to the coast, come to the coast
come to the coast it will find you...
The fallout from the California glow
Toronto's frozen over this every man should know
I've forgotten now
Won't you show me how?
Come.
So run away, so run away from here.
Just run away, just run away my dear...
'Cause love's forgotten child...
So go into the wild
...Come.
Somebody took me away...something controls me...

3. Disruptr

I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of fading
I'm sick of being depressed
Through all the failing,
I'm syncopating
...At least it's off my chest
Disruptr.
Yeah,
You're kinda fading...
Don't be a baby
I'm sick of being obsessed.
Through all the mating,
Master debating
God knows I'd settle for less
But...
I come from the...
Center of the universe
And I have no time for these...

Distractions.

Disruptr.

Somebody get me alone, I need to feel at home
I need a brain massage
Somebody get me a doctor, I ain't feelin' ill
...But I ain't feelin' this at all...no...
I COME FROM THE
CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
AND I HAVE NO TIME FOR THESE
SYMPTOMS OF YOUR UNIVERSE
I COME FROM THE
...MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE
AND I HAVE NO TIME FOR THESE
DISTRACTIONS!!!

So here's what it means to be, BE A MAN ABOUT IT
You DON'T forget the family, BE A MAN
And so what if it KILLS you, oh be a MAN about it
BE A GODDAMN MAN, BOY!

...oh, be a man about it all...

Let's go down to the beach
...we'll see the moon...

I come for thee, 'master of the universe'...
And I have no time for these...
Symptoms of your universe...
I come for thee, 'center of the universe'...
And I have no time for these
Symptoms of your universe...
I COME FOR THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
AND I HAVE NO TIME FOR THESE DISTRACTIONS!!!

Slaving the way for the darks sons of ion...
The world...the world isn't safe...SHUT IT.

4. Gato

So you and I, we've come to this place
And never did I believe that I'd survive
Now what ever happens know that I'm about honor...
...honor among thieves (amen)
So you and I, we talk a little
About the themes and all the thinking, then I die...
...a little
whatever happened about honoring thy father, mother...

...honor me.

Backtrack easy, everything's easy...tell me again?
'Is it us or them, us or them?'
Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people and I'm a bad man...

So you and I, we talk a little...
About the fate of all those days and then I DIE.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOUR WORDS ABOUT HONOR?!?

...HONOR AMONG MEN!!!

Backtrack easy, everything's easy...tell me again?
'Is it us or them, us or them?'
Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people I'm a bad, bad man...

So you and I, we've come to this place
And never did I believe that I'd survive...this...
Now what ever happens know that I'm about honor...
...honor, honor, honor...

Backtrack people, everythings evil...tell me again?
'Is it us or them, us or them?'
Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people I'm a black cat man...

5. Terminal

Hey,
Flow the waterways of letting go
Another day...
Permanently allocate the maximum
And leave it to go...
Change,
And leave without a trace for her to know
A hollow day
Slow it down evenly paced, you've never known
And leave them alone

Hey,
Tell me theres a lot of ways I need to know
Another day,
Terminally out of phase and ill disposed
Just leave it alone

Sane,
You can teach a man better to view with loose control
Another way...
You pick your point, settle to be and let things go...
Just leave them alone...

Hey,
Tell me theres a lot of ways I need to know
Another day...
Terminally out of phase and ill disposed
Just leave them alone.

6. Heavens End

Space is the word
Sign of God...
It's over all that you see
...But it cannot rescue me
Sink in the void
Of how it went down...
You'll know through all that you'll see
...And you'll know your enemy
Space is the word.

Auto Macai
Tie it in bounds
Over all that we know,
Is chaos moving slow...
Drinking the wine
...Howling it down
Corroding all that's still,
My fate and your free will
(Are you ready?)
...well I've made my bed...
(Say are you ready?)
...I've made some preparations...
(Are you ready?)
...but I'm older now ...
(But are you ready?)

Yeah...

Fine.

I'll close tight and go
Like theres nobody listening
I say oh my child,
They're listening.
...They listen.
I'm sewed tight and gone
...Like theres nobody listening
I say Oh My God...
I'm listening...
I LISTEN.

How could Heaven be so frenetic
Oh you've got it, without fanatic hold to body
How your Semitic hold to God it seems so funny...

Now, we become...

The sun.

BURN
BURN
BURN
OH...HEAVENS END
BURN
BURN
BURN
FACE YOUR CHAOS, KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
BURN
BURN
BURN
OH...HEAVENS END

I'll close tight and go
Like theres nobody listening
Ah but oh my child...
They listen.
They listen.
I'm so right I'm told,
And there's nobody listening
I say Oh My God...
I'm listening...
I'm listening.
There's no fun at all...
When theres nobody listening
I say Oh My God...
I've missed this.
I'VE MISSED ME.

How could Heaven be so frenetic
Oh you've got it, without fanatic hold to body
How your Semitic hold to God it seems so funny...

NOW...WE BECOME!
...FINITE!
...INFINITE!!

BURN
BURN
BURN
OH...HEAVENS END
BURN
BURN
BURN
TASTE THE CHAOS, KNOW WHO WE ARE!
BURN
BURN
BURN
OH...HEAVENS END

Damn...
Ain't never gonna win...
...damn.

7. Ain't Never Gonna Win

[Instrumental]

8. Winter

How in the world can the winter fall apart?

9. Trainfire

How in the world we gonna make everything alright?
How in the world we gonna make everything in time?
Train burning, all night burning...
Trainfire up and down the line.

How in the world we gonna make everything alright?
How in the world we gonna make everything in time?
Train burning, all night burning...
Trainfire up and down the line.

Sex sees seventeen year old
Moving me up and down the poll
You won't tell me what I need to know
So the train burns, all night burns, Trainfire up and down the line.

Move me,

How in the world we gonna make everything alright?
How in the world we gonna make everything on time?
Train burning, all night burning...
Trainfire...

Trainfire up and down the line!

Sex sees seventeen year old
She don't tell me what I need to know
Train upon the quantum, a Kai, the string theory...
Trainfire up and down the line!

Trainfire, trainfire, trainfire...

So, you called my name
Left on a weary road beyond your ways
May all the other colors of your name
...go.

10. Lady Helen

I awoke Iapetus
Sing for a while
All the roads reach out to you
Stay for a while
Now I breathe on
Save the work for the afternoon
It's true,
I'll be there for the baby.
I am.

Now I have lost the appetite
Staying for a lie
All the roads that once were right
Stay the way,
they are.

Save the work till the afternoon
It's true...
I'll be there for the baby.
It's true...
It's you.
I'll aways side with you.

'Till I fall.

Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
I awoke Iapetus
Saying you're alive
All the roads lead after you
Saying you're alive
Now I breathe on.
Save the work till the afternoon
It's true...
I'll be there for the baby.

Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward
Eyes forward

11. Ki

Days alone, never felt like this
The lights of home, a year away
And it's too late to fight it all, just drive.
And the streets glow and the night...
The night is soft

The night is soft
Soft

And it's all inviting
As anyone could ever know
And this warm collective we endure...
We endure and pass the moment
We endure and pass the moon.
We endure and pass the moment
We endure.
We endure and pass the moment
We endure and pass the moon.
We endure and pass the moment
We endure.

We endure and pass the moment
We endure and pass the moon.
We endure and pass the moment
We endure.

(Everybody knows)

So we fall on warm silence,
I know, yes I know, we all go away.
So we fall on warm silence,
I know, yes I know, we all go away!

12. Quiet Riot

I wait for the pain
It always comes again
And I don't know why...
And I don't care why anymore.
Saved in the end
By a long lost friend
And I don't know why
And I don't care why anymore.

And the rain it keeps on coming
And the pain it keeps at bay for another day
Home.

So thank you Jean Michael
I'm on my way to hell
And I don't know why
But I don't care why anymore.

13. Demon League

Hide away from it all
Say tomorrow it comes, and then...
I'm alone.
Suppose...
I know...I know...
The demons call
Hide away from it all
Say tomorrow it comes, and then...
I'm alone.
Suppose...
I know...I know...
The demon call...
