FORBIDDEN LYRICS

1. Parting Of The Ways

2. Infinite

Quest for truth never ceases
As wisdom brutally teaches
Pacing back and forth again, and again
Just searching for an end
Panic wave chaos showers
Sickening stench of man gone sour
Laughing at us in our face, we're disgraced
and then we're all erased

Persevere - Holding out - Make it end!
Giving in - Giving up - Let it end!
Why is it infinite?
The evil that revolves around our universe
The always changing, never changing
Why is it infinite?
The evil that revolves around our universe
The always changing, never changing
Nothing changes!

Pressure point, burning rage
No turning back, no release from this cage
One man calls the other one a liar
There's fire escalating higher -
Endless wars, lost causes
Only letting up for brief pauses
Time repeats this circle of madness
Repetition of constant sadness

Persevere - Holding out - Make it end!
Giving in - Giving up - Let it end!
Why is it infinite?
The evil that revolves around our universe
The always changing, never changing
Why is it infinite?
The evil -
The always changing, never changing
Nothing changes?

[1st Lead: Craig]

[2nd Lead: Tim]

Analyze - Cut to shreds
Overweight yet underfed
Food for thought, no answer to our questions
Save your breath - Waste no words
Undescript, it's so absurd
Wisdom sits beyond our meager minds

Infinite - !

3. Out Of Body (Out Of Mind)

Tripping in dimension, never dared to see this far
Projected through my mind's eye
Brilliant light, blinding sight, burning
Nullified and stone cold, something wants to rape my soul
Running from the vile
Evil force, fight it off, must resist!

Soaring through the sky, there's a demon in my mind
Blasting of my soul, I lay sleeping, body cold
Limbo for all time unless I can find my way
Out of - Out of body, out of mind
Out of - Out of body, in my mind

Wicked is the power hunting me, the spirits prey
Tenacious and persistent, won't give in, can't give up, never
Facing off to lay claim
Time could soon run out for me
Warring with the demon
Vicious cries, sinful eyes, crave what's mine

Soaring through the sky, there's a demon in my mind
Blasting of my soul, I lay sleeping, body cold
Limbo for all time unless I can find my way
Out of - Out of body, out of mind
Out of - Out of body, in my mind
Drift from my world to the other
Demon screaming out for me

Lost my earthly foothold, failed to win back my soul
Everything is gone now
Won't get back, can't get back, never!
Floating off to nowhere, cursed to drift on endlessly -
There's no life, there's no death
Just hell!

Soaring through the sky, there's a demon in my mind
Blasting of my soul, I lay sleeping, body cold
Limbo for all time unless I can find my way
Out of - Out of body, out of mind
Out of - Out of body, in my mind
Out of mind
In my mind
Out of body

Thrust from my world to the other
Lost and gone forever in my hell
My hell!

4. Step By Step

Step by step it's happening, it's slowly eating you
Numbing your mind to the pain
You broke the rule, the payment's cruel
Selfish road, you paved the way
Hiding in your fantasy, it's easier to lie
The choice you made could kill
You're just one lonely victim
A wasted life!

Don't you feel as if your walls fall in?
The way you live could put you underground
Step by step, by step
Surviving hanging by a thread
Step by step, by step
It's time to turn the table
Step by step, by step
Society's not done with you
Step by step, by step
It just gets worse until you - pull through!

Screaming out, you cry for love, they only toss you out
Rejected, lost in a daze
It's all so cold, do as you're told
Hit your knees now start to pray
Dream about a time before, securely locked away
Within your heart is the key
If you don't open up then...
You'll lose your life!

Don't you feel as if your walls fall in?
The way you live could put you underground
Step by step, by step
Surviving hanging by a thread
Step by step, by step
It's time to turn the table
Step by step, by step
Society's not done with you
Step by step, by step
It just gets worse until you - pull through!

[Lead: Tim]

Deep inside you're selfish, and infected with desire
Filled your head with dreams that died
Just couldn't get no higher
Look at what you've become - Synthetic, morphite cyst
Your luck's run out, the thread has snapped
A cold depressing end -

[Lead: Craig]

Don't you feel as if your walls fall in
The way you live could put you underground
Step by step, by step
Surviving, hanging by a thread
Step by step, by step
It's time to turn the table
Step by step, by step
Society's not done with you
Step by step, by step
It just don't stop
Step by step, by step
Don't try to run before you walk
Step by step, by step
Do it for yourself kid!
Step by step, by step
It's just the way you have to learn
Step by step, by step
Step by step, by step, by step
Step by step, by step, by step
Step by step, by step, by step
Step by step, by step, by step!

5. Twisted Into Form

Ideals pounded, what's wrong is right
Churches founded, with heaven in sight
Do unto them as they tell you to!
How can the children believe this is true?

Burn our thoughts, they can change our minds
Hear pathetic lies
Put to end, all the empty cries
Now it's time for eye for I

Faith decided out of the womb
Slapped into life, and then slapped in your tomb
When will it end?
When will the lying stop?

Burn our thoughts, they can change our minds
Hear pathetic lies
Put to end all the empty cries
Now it's Eye for I
Hate! Churning your face, consumed by fear
Unreal illusion of a perfect world
Twist into form, the true abyss
Crushed in the palm of fate's hands!

[1st Lead: Tim]

[2nd Lead: Craig]

Eyes stare with empty, but evil glances
Children with nothing in mind but to breathe
Twist it to form -
Twisting to form -
Twisted to form -
Twist me to form then they -

Burn my thoughts, then they change my mind
Tell pathetic lies
Put to end all my empty cries
Now it's eye for I
Hate! Churning your face, consumed by fear
Unreal illusion of a perfect world
Twist into form, the true abyss
Crushed in the palm of fate's hands!
Hate! Churning your face, consumed by fear
Unreal illusion of a perfect world
Twist into form, the true abyss
Crushed in the palm of fate's hands!

6. R.I.P.

We've always been told to stand up tall
"Guard the nation"
This killing force that we have made, what for?
I am sickened by this attitude that plagues
The Mother Earth
It always seems that we're all fighting
We don't know what it's worth

Close the door as they beg for more
Children cry as they're left to die
See the tears running down their faces
See compassion is at end
Mother Earth is crying
Rest in peace... Peace!

Who can you believe? It's never what it seems
Feel the anger
They're tightening the vice, now who pays the price?
We will!
I am saddened by this selfishness and, "Who cares"
Attitude!
Put down your arms and stop this fighting
Save our Mother Earth

Close your eyes, say your last goodbyes
Self-destruct, we've run out of luck
See the lights turn to darkness
Realize there is no hope
The human race is dying
Rest in peace... Peace!

[1st Lead: Craig]

[2nd Lead: Tim]

Desperate - Is what we've all become
Helpless - There's nowhere left to run
Crushing - The spirit of mankind
Forbidding - What's yet to come!

We've always been told to stand up tall
"Guard the nation"
This killing force that we have made, what for?
I am sickened by this attitude that plagues
The Mother Earth
It always seems that we're all fighting
We don't know what it's worth

Who will drop the curtain
Who will end Earth's history
No more "Happy ever after"
Rest in peace... Peace
Rest in peace -

7. Spiral Depression

8. Tossed Away

[Theme: Craig]

Looking into saddened eyes that morn, I'm unashamed
Witness to the crying of the poor, I can't relate
Afraid to see what lies behind the lies, I'm ignorant
Don't tell me, I won't know, just leave me be

Every time a page is turned
Every time a channel's switched, I look away
Washing off my dirty hands
If I don't want to understand, why should I?
Pain and hurting of diseased
Taking life by ill dispose
Shunned and tossed away, tossed away!

Glutiny, I'm hungry then I'll eat, I'm a selfish pig
Thinking I'm thirsty, I'll have a drink, it pours away
So tired, so I'll lie down awhile, the lazy life, ha!
Don't bother me, I'm dreaming, just le me sleep

Every time a page is turned
Every time a channel's switched, I look away
Washing off my dirty hands
If I don't want to understand, why should I?
Pain and hurting of diseased
Taking life by ill dispose
Shunned and tossed away, tossed away!

[Theme: Craig]

[Lead: Tim]

Disgusting! Revolting! They sicken me!
Send them somewhere out of sight, away from us
Separate their children from our young, they're dangerous
Don't say I didn't warn you, just wait and see!

Every time a page is turned
Every time a channel's switched, I look away
Washing off my dirty hands
If I don't want to understand, why should I?
Pain and hurting of diseased
Taking life by ill dispose
Shunned and tossed away, tossed away -

[Theme: Craig]

Pain and hurting of diseased
Taking life by ill dispose
Shunned and tossed away, tossed away!

9. One Foot In Hell

Regression! Progressive downfall
Grabbing what's there and still wanting it all

On words they fall

Obsession! Religious belief
Worshipped on Sunday, forgotten all week

One foot in Hell

Taking the truth from "The Book" and then twisting it
Feeling they're touched by the Lord
Loving their neighbor, yet tasting the flavor of sin
But seeing no wrong
Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them
Walking the crooked, straight line
Closing of minds to these innocent crimes
Now they're deaf, dumb, and blind!

One foot in Hell

Wretches! This pitiful man
Preaching and teaching with cross in hand

On words he falls

Into...! His final mistake
This fool was fooled, it was all give and take

One foot in Hell

Taking the truth from "The Book" and then twisting it
Turning the pages of writing, it falls into place
A puzzle of words
Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them
Attempting to fear the Commandments they hear
Now they're deaf, dumb, and blind!

[1st Lead: Craig]

[3rd Lead: Craig]

[4th Lead: Tim]

"I look to the Heavens and call the Lord's name.
Praying on my knees, with much faith, and little doubt
I have a yearning for the answers to my calling in life
Am I wasting away on spirits of myth?
Am I questioning the Lord's prayer?
Is this unholy temptation or, my final realization?
Please, God, if you're there for me, give the wisdom for faith
Help me Lord!
God help me" - !

Regression! Progressive downfall
Grabbing what's there and still wanting it all

On words they fall

Obsession! Religious belief
Worshipped on Sunday, forgotten all week

One foot in Hell

Taking the truth from "The Book" and then twisting it
Feeling they're touched by the Lord
Loving their neighbor, yet tasting the flavor of sin
But seeing no wrong
Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them
Walking the crooked, straight line
Closing of minds to these innocent crimes

Show me the way - Point to the light
Is there a Heaven after I die?
What is a truth - Where does it lie
Give me the answer
Bare my soul - Naked and cold
End confusion, shed my last tear
Take me Lord - Open your Gates
End my deep sorrow

One foot in Hell
Who's answering the bell?
