SHINING LYRICS

1. The Madness And The Damage Done

The madness and the damage done

(If) you write one more thing in my book of lies
I brainwash myself a blood-stained mind
Put on a glass, It'll never forget the pain
The same old, same old hurting game
You love the whole wide world with your body as a sign
But I never was the physical kind
You offer holy cure and sight to the blind
But I never was the miracle kind
You'll remember me when you sell your ring
Don't tell me you don't feel a thing
Holy Mary (I,) can't seem to shut her legs!
Thoughts run wild
The madness and the damage done

You'll remember me when your worlds collide
The sea will rise and your thought divide
You'll remember me when the sea retreats
The cerebral storm won another defeat*
While we sing to the moon your stars fall down
While our eyes run sore, you wear a crown
The sometimes, maybe: There's no middle ground
The void has won,
The madness and the damage done

The madness and the damage done

[*FROM THE BOOKLET:]
The cerebral storm won it's (/your) last (/another) defeat

6. The Madness And The Damage Done

You'll remember me when my sight ran sore
Black jazz for the mass, Birds sing no more
Put on a glass, it would never forget the pain
The same old, same old hurting game
You'll remember me when I end this game,
Don't say no, don't you say my name
When I leave this world, when my will is done
I am the unmarked man, the madness is gone
The fight is won,
The fight is won by will alone!

7. Blackjazz Deathtrance

Blood.
Song.
Time.
Sing.

Quantum collapse will burn the bridge where many worlds existed.
Now a single slope unfolds
Steep as a mountain, slippery as ice
The ever downward spiral, the inevitable tide
The outlines of a beast, slowly taking form
Pixel by pixel, giving birth to deadly shape

The circle of confusion
The ever shifting focus
Lenses stretching, torn apart

Losing hope is losing mind, losing hope is losing mind
The ever downward spiral, the inevitable tide
Afraid to remember, unable to forget
The time when man and snake and apple met
Waterboarding is our friend, and God is on our side
The ever downward spiral, the inevitable tide

Blood.
Song.
Time.
Sing.

You cheat on your own lover!
You fuck with your own brother!
You fight with one another!
Your cold heart will not recover!

8. Omen

9. 21st Century Schizoid Man

[King Crimson cover]

Cat's foot, iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
21st century schizoid man

Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
21st century schizoid man

Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
21st century schizoid man
