TWITCHING TONGUES LYRICS

1. AWOL (State Of The Union)

Come walk with us as we spiral down to hell.
Knowing for certain that this would never sell.
Clear is the fog, yet we still remain here.
Facing our fears, but surpassed by our peers.

Here to stay, in our strange way.
Honor consuming when failure is looming,
Much to your dismay.

Stuck in those trenches behind enemy lies.
Our fallen allies refused to see the signs.
Public execution for non-existent crimes.

Here to stay, in our strange way.
Honor consuming when failure is looming,
Much to your dismay.

Soldiers of fortune adrift and distorted
Here to make you pay.

[Solo: Martin]

Reverence comes at the price of short devotion.
Defied briefly but admiration brings the demotion.
Feel my hate as it flows like the ocean.
In the front lines of war fought with sonic emotion.

Here to stay, in our strange way.
Honor consuming when failure is looming,
Much to your dismay.

Bring forth your judgement day.

2. Harakiri

God damn, this system's human irregularity conducts inhumanly impure conformity.
Prophetic demand for revolution, to lead the innocent to a final solution.

Revenge is a dish best served right fucking now. Breach of trust, destruction, corruption, disavow now the public assumption.
Pathetic excuses, democratic abuse, engineering and profiteering pain.

Glorious suicide for which we're unqualified.
Unspoken genocide, brought to you by civil lies.
Execution, persecution, manifests human pollution.
Momentous democide, free to die on your own dime.

We must fear executive authority. Your jurisdiction is a ditch dug by bureaucracy.
Patriotic amends for the collusion of the powers-that-be to give the enemy immunity.

Glorious suicide for which we're unqualified.
Unspoken genocide, brought to you by civil lies.
Execution, persecution, manifests human pollution.
Momentous democide, free to die on your own dime.

You will earn your suicide, if this system ever dies.
Necessary genocide, we must pay for our own lies.
Devastation, celebration, sound off for our own damnation.
In steel we are unified, you have my permission to die.

3. Kill For You

Sudden flash of light, to guide me through the night.
A voice inside, that I could have sworn had died.
I was wrong, I should known it all along.
This is my will. For you I would kill.

My blood flows at the pace of your embrace.
Never could I prepare, for a bond I thought so rare.
Now here we are, both of us deeply scarred.
But do you see? I would kill anyone if you asked it of me.

Seasons change, but don't affect the way I feel about you.
You've given me everything, now I'll give the devil your due.

Yeah, your beauty overtook my world with just one look.
I've nothing left to see, I'll remain your devotee.
Still you ask why. We've loved and cried and mourned enough to die.
But all I need is the life you've given me.

Say the word and I will tear the flesh from those who harm you.
You've given me everything, now tell me who I can kill for you.

[Solo: T. Young]

Do you see me? Do you hear me? I'm afraid I must confess.
I've no regrets or reservations. Never will I second guess.
I can feel it. All around me. Eternal warmth of your caress.
No armor can protect me from the weapon you possess.

[Hair blowing in the wind on a mountaintop solo: Martin]

4. T.F.R.

Prejudicial rat race, presidential fuck face.
The fate of our land in your little hands.
You'll be crucified on an iron cross.
Gather up the troops, now toss the boss.

We're living in the Fourth Reich.
We're dying in the Fourth Reich.

Panzer tanks in D.C., Wehrmacht army.
Orange fuckin' chode with the nuke launch codes.
Just a shit spray tan on a shit spray man.
Neotheofascism, ah, good plan, punk.

We're living in the Fourth Reich.
We're dying in the Fourth Reich.

You're fired, motherfucker.

[Solo]

He'll take abortions away, but he's paid for a few.
Religious liberty except by Muslims and Jews.
Looks like you got your hairdo from a fuckin' corkscrew.
If we're grabbing by the pussy, might as well grab you.

We're living in the Fourth Reich.
We're dying in the Fourth Reich.

Ein, zwei, fuck this.

5. Forgive & Remember

Before my eyes, another year goes by.
Life's greatest cost, another loved one lost.
Our time together has come to an end.
To greater heights your spirit will ascend.

If I'd not known your name, I'd never feel this pain.
The price of loving comes with one day feeling numb.
If only there was more that I could do.
To spare the world the pain of living without you.

I will always remember who you were.
I will carry your memory forever.

Now I must move on,
And accept that your being is gone.
It's harder every day since your spirit has faded away.
If only you could take another's place.
In memories I'll beg and plead to see your face.

Disillusioned, in ruins, without any conclusion.
Frustration, isolation, you are now my motivation.

I will always regret what I have done.
I will carry this guilt forever.

How bout I load these 12 gauge shells,
Punch my ticket straight down to hell.
Might go swimmin' with a VCR,
Bleed out listenin' to CCR.
I say it should have been me.
(We say it should have been him)

Might take it easy and jump from the roof,
Swallow some bleach like it's 101 proof.
Slit my wrists and wait for the call,
Rope around my neck 'cause I'm a child of Fall.
I say it should have been me
(We say it should have been him)

Past the point of contemplation,
Time for my self mutilation.
(it should have been)
Full of grandpa's medication,
Time for permanent vacation.
(It should have been)

Disillusioned, in ruins, without any conclusion.
Frustration, isolation, you are no my motivation.

I will always remember who you were.
I will live, and I'll forgive, but I will never forget.

6. Gaining Purpose

On that day, I lost it all.
Before my eyes saw the mighty fall.
As I sat in solitude,
Petrified by the magnitude of loss.

Clenched my fists, and dried my tears.
Buried the fortress that hides my fears.

All along I felt defeated, hate was all I ever needed.
Frailty hides upon the surface,
Suffering to gain my purpose.

[Solo: Martin]

To this day, I hate you all.
Spread wretched wings once you let me fall.
Sweet marvelous fantasies.
You must survive, to share my agony.

All along I felt defeated, hate was all I ever needed.
Frailty hides upon the surface,
Suffering to gain my purpose.

The narrative of this rhapsody is beginning to read like a tragedy.
No longer a question of amnesty, but prolonging impending insanity.

[Solo: T. Young]

Weakness breeds inadequacy,
reject the offer of apathy.
I'm not living a fantasy, hatred grows endlessly.

[Solo: Martin]

I hate you.

Gaining purpose.
Frailty lies upon the surface.
Suffering to gain my purpose.

7. Long Gone

Shaken faith, I knew your name.
Never thought this day would come.
Now be still my bleeding heart.
'Til life do us apart.

Now it's too late to hold on.
The love you had for me is long gone.
Now I've got to find who I am.
If I'm not the same man you loved.
The one that always put you above…
Then keep running as fast as you can.

Foolish pride, I'll move aside.

To be the better man.

Now it's too late to hold on.
The love you had for me is long gone.
Now I've got to find who I am.
If I'm not the same man you loved.
The one that always put you above…
Then keep running as fast as you can.

Go on, live your life.
Though it cut me like a knife to see you moving on,
When you were my eternity.
Loyal 'til the end.
These wounds may someday mend.
What more can I do, when I was forever true.

Now it's too late to hold on.
The love you had for me is long gone.
Now I've got to find who I am.
If I'm not the same man you loved.
The one that always put you above…
Then keep running as fast as you can.

8. The Sound Of Pain

Endless pain for the rest of your days.
A never-ending hammer to your brain.
Virtues burn in perpetual blaze.
No rest from going insane.
Take your fuckin' life as the whole world prays.
No hatred, no purpose will be gained.
Trapped in life's unbearable maze.
Open your ears to the sound of pain.

Pain is the fire of life as it burns.
Pain is the truth, and the truth fuckin' hurts.

Breeding to die in a government line.
Freedom is free once you pay the fuckin' fine.
Humanity the cattle earth can no longer sustain.
Dying in hell means living in pain.

Pain is the lesson that we're fucking from birth.
Pain is the truth, and the truth fuckin' hurts.

[Solo: T. Young]

From the deprived and depraved,
to the rulers that reign.
Sooner or later, we all must hear the sound of pain.

9. Defection (Union Of The State)

Now the worry and wondering begins.
Competitive art, but no one wins.
Crucified for all to know our sins.
One day I hope to tear you limb from limb.

Just who are to declare my value?
When I already know I have failed.
Just one more dream that you've spit up and chewed.
Aspirations up for sale.

Do you see, you've made an enemy?
By assuming that you've beaten me.

Daydreaming of killing you all.
A beautiful imagining that one day might come true.

Confused and depressed, but it's for the best.
Who am I to question your lies?
You're keeping an art-form suppressed and distressed.
Yet it's you who gets to criticize.

I don't want to be your enemy.
I can't help I want to see your dead body.

Although we're burning inside, we will survive.
We'll bring you back to us, dead or alive.
You need us like air in your lungs.
Kneel before Twitching fucking Tongues.

I share this blood for me, I share these words for you.
This message sets you free to gain your purpose too.

[Solo: T. Young]

[Solo: Martin]

10. I Fell From Grace Feet First (Re-Recorded)

[Hidden Track]

Hope and innocence, two things quite easily lost.
Painful pleasures produce no pain today.
For my own well being, not for that of another.

I fell from grace feet first.

Talk, whisper, shout, I can't hear you.
No agenda forced, won't follow you.
Lecture, torment, preach,
It's still not true.
Fall, fall, I will catch you.

Extending a hand to those I know.
But all I feel back is spit on my palm.
To believe you must have faith,
And that's something I can't grasp.

I fell from grace feet first.
Fear and shame, a knack since birth.
Oppressing hope will claim you all.
Come, take my hand and fall.

Do I need faith to regain my hope?
Do I need faith to take back my innocence?
Faith is not hope. Hope is not faith.

I fell from grace feet first.

For my own well being, not for that of another.
To believe you must have faith,
And that's something I can't grasp.
Hope is not faith. Hope is real.

I fell from grace feet first.
Fear and shame, a knack since birth.
Oppressing hope will claim you all.
Come, take my hand and fall.

Hope will claim you all.
Take my hand and fall.
