GRIP INC. LYRICS

1. Curse (Of The Cloth)

Welcome to my house of sadness
Welcome to my house of sadness
Surreal in ist week foundation
Stillness moves through anciant walls
Sun shines glinting bringing warmth
I am ready to confess
Impliment of seduction
Pre-empted I bare my soul
I bare my soul
I bare my soul
I bare my soul

Through the mosaic of wood and stone
I ran into a wall of silence
Surmounted by the laws of lords
Ruling with a double standard
Slaughter of the pilgrims never ending
In come to sanits, martyers sing
Maeching to their own drum
He who casts the first stone be without sin

[Chorus :]
Curse
Curse of the cloth
Curse
Curse of the cloth

Acountalbe to none, they lie in readiness
Under the cover of kindness
Continueing the curse of the cloth
Under vatican protection
Punishment, full redemption
Hidden, re-location
Pestilence in the name of salvation

[Chorus (2x)]

[Chorus (2x)]

The curse continues...

2. The Answer

All in the answer
All in the answer

Battle call of the fathers
Personnal war of the elite
Hypnotized by symbols
Idols and coloured rags
Condems full attention
Contradicts a way of life
Brother fight my brother
Heritage of the east and west
Orphans of a changing world

Blind leading the blind

[Chorus (2x)]
The question is the way we never
Stand up for what is right
The question is why we always
Stand up for what is wrong

Violence in the name of peace
Triumph of good over evil
Divided by key players
United in creted the rift
Expressed in code warnings
Deliberate deception
Love hate partners sharing
Never ever to unite
Confort your own morality

Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers

[Chorus (2x)]

Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers

Blind leading the blind
In fertile fields, searching for answers

[Chorus (2x)]

All in the answer

3. Prophecy

We can't keep something alive
That has no heart
Doing what is good
Is not doing what is right
So the beat goes on

Time has come to be a hero
See your name in bright lights
Swept away with grand illusions
Force fed visions of fame
Your guard is down
You are the hunted
In a corporate world
That has no shame
Contracts signed all hail the new kings
Kept in a state of eternal bliss to be

Stranded like thousands that went before me
Stranded but I will never lay down come on

[Chorus :]
Break out, rise up from oblivion
Rise up, sinners an saints
Break out, rise up from oblivion
Rise up, black sheep shall survive

Bathing in short living glory
Quickly becoming a faded memory
Drowning in the hidden vortex
Overflowed with ruined lives
Beaten by the glamour forces
*harvest fruitful lays between the lies
This phoenix rises out from the ashes
From a light that never goes out

Stranded like thousands that went before me
Stranded but I will never lay down come on

[Chorus (1x)]

Stranded like thousands that went before me
Stranded but I will never lay down
Stranded like thousands that went before me
Stranded but I will never lay down come on

[Chorus (2x)]

4. Endowment Of Apathy

Born in a city, no more than a wasteland
Flash point, a struggle to the bitter end
Productive life, serenity a god send
Auxiliary a second class citizen
Voice of the future, always a breath away
Opinions moulded, educated to obey
Destined to seclusion and decay
Auxiliary, a second class citizen

Doomed from the womb
Born on the wrong side (of the tracks)
In the wrong postal zone
Doomed from the womb

[Chorus :]
Random, brutal, rough, justice
Tried convicted, endowment of apathy
Random, brutal, rough, justice
Tried convicted, endowment of apathy

Years of grind in substandard luxery
Masses grovel in poverty and misery
Negative, Endowment of apathy
Erosion of pride, faith, integrity
Survive a system, expecting the norm
Broken willed, expressionless born
Trial by fire, walk the plank at dawn
Whitewashed, strippedn peeled and torn

Doomed from the womb
Born on the wrong side

Ambitions, no crime
Ambitions, no crime
Ambitions, no crime
Pre-judged
Ambitions, no crime
Ambitions, no crime
Ambitions, no crime
Pre-judged

[Chorus (1x)]

Doomed from the womb
Judgement has been passed

[Chorus (2x)]

5. Enemy Mind

What you waiting for
Enemy at my door, what are you waiting for
Demon preacher tracking me, I have no place to run
Enemy in my mind, desperate and sublime
Demon preacher tracking me, I have no place to run

Now you carry my life, fragile with passion
Vigilant the fight, I stand alone

[Chorus:]
Ranting the sermon
On the edge of reason
This is tomorrow calling
And slowly I am drifting away

Anger deep inside my mind
Stealing the sands of time
Constantly confusing me
I have no place to run

Now you carry my life, fragile with passion
Vigilant the fight, I stand alone

[Chorus (1x)]

[Chorus (1x)]

This is tomorrow calling
And slowly I am drifting away

6. Skin Trade

Lure of the good life, lead into the promised land
Crossing over boarders hand in hand
Giving trust in the face of danger
The battle of control has just begun
Common language, universal tongue
Serving up salvation, liberators, pimps in disguise
Enforcing thresholds to survive
Switching on to satisfy, servants must perform
Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence

Enslaved, abused and betrayed
Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade

[Chorus :]
Screaming in silence
Exchanging skin for gold

Messiah, turned traitor, leaves all callous and drained
Providing for hideous and the lame
Enticed into a snare, held in a prison nowcalled home
Executing foul gratification
Exposed to random acts of physical disgust
Compelled to adhere to the captures corrupt mind
Switching on to safety, servants must perform
Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence

Enslaved, abused and betrayed
Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade

[Chorus:]
Screaming in silence
Exchanging skin for gold
Slavery sold to, suffering into
Exchanging skin for gold

7. (Built To) Resist

Branded, forced into exile
Cinical routine, family union dissolved
Accused, abandonment, dead beat
Admonished, siblings, severed values detached

Hear my children calling
Loud out to me
I won't subscribe to a campaign
Bent on tragedy

[Chorus :]
Build to resist, build to resist
My children I'll come for you

Bonded, subculture formed
Anguish, yearning fills painful spiritless void
Blood flows vested strong and free
Starved from rightful tender physical resolve

Har my children crying
Loud out to me
I won't subscribe to a campaign
Bent on tragedy

[Chorus (2x)]

My children I come for you

8. The Gift

Time heals, time heals old wounds
Bad habits die hard, bad habits die hard
Tired of, tired of self
Tired of selfinfliction, selfinfliction, selfinfliction
No more leaving morals at the door
Cut out the cancer, time to settle the score

Hood-winked divine, partners in crime

[Chorus :]
Present to you the gift that shines
Two hands will deliver, two hands will deliver
Present to you the gift that shines
Reward gift that shines perfect day

impact, impact of pride
Unwanted burdens, unwanted burdens
Conflict, conflict will bring
Conflict will bring aggression, bring suppression, bring depression
No more leaving morals at the door
Cut out the cancer, time to settle the score

Hood-winked divine, partners in crime

[Chorus (1x)]

No honour amongst thieves

[Chorus (1x)]

9. Privilege

Severe the senses, dominate, divide
Born from pain
Falling victim to own vengeance again
Born from pain, rise
Push me, shove me, push me down
To see the light, step through the dark

[Chorus :]
Privilege born from pain, privilege born from pain
Empires embossed, embattled cultures
Privilege born frm pain

Heathen, zero identity
Set hem free
Installing fallibilty
Set them free, rise
Push me, shove me, push me down
Endless the moving question

[Chorus (1x)]

[Chorus (1x)]

We are a dying breed

10. Blood Of Saints

Seal your fate, seal your fate
Seal your fate, seal your fate

Souless, forgotten in time
Deep hunger flows in the veins
Of the anciant
Seducing dreams, spiral in motion
Endless the quest, for life everlasting

fever inside, inside fever
This is not a dream

Faithless, avoiding light
Needless attention, proud to be noticed
Driven by thirst, successers bleed
A vicious beauty, scorned for a thousands yaers

Fever inside, inside fever
This is ot a dream

Pray, bathing in the blood of saints

[Chorus :]
Learn the lesson, cold and bare
From life's sharp razor, life's sharp razor
Cut your fate
Cut your fate
Cut your fate
Smash the sin, expose the sinner
Cut your fate, bathing in the blood of saints

Free from eternal nig ht
Rhymes of resurection crusading as immortal
Transform, the balance shifts
Sexual presentation, addicted to the chase
Blood and music blend together
Sing a song and dance with the devil
Burnig bright, walk in the light
Te embers of youth
Pray to your wretched god

[Chorus :]
Learn the lesson, cold and bare
From life's sharp razor, from life's shrp razor
Cut your fate
Pain and despair, don't stand and stare
A wise man rides on the winds of change
Bathing in the blood of saints

Learn the lesson, cold and bare
From life's sharp razor, life's sharp razor
Cut your fate
Cut your fate
Cut your fate
Smash the sin, expose the sinner
Cut your fate, bathing in the blood of saints

11. Man With No Insides

The man with no insides, the man with no insides
The man with no insides, the man with no insides

Open this Pandora's box
Crosse fequencies pass through
Embark on someone elses train
Po the king weasel

So let the chant begin - ensue
Master the dance of the dead - vital
Sing lullabies oftime gone by
Come children emanate him

The man with no insides, the man with no insides
The man with no insides, the man with no insides

Immerse the pawn
In the slave of delight
Enwined within the carnival of soars
Pop goes the king weasel

So let the chant begin - ensue
Master the dance of the dead - vital
Sing lullabies oftime gone by
Come children emanate him

So let the chant begin - ensue
Master the dance of the dead - vital
Sing lullabies oftime gone by
Come children emanate him

The man with no insides, the man with no insides
The man with no insides, the man with no insides
