This Means War

Try to give an easy reason to justify what you believe in
They’ll never see you coming if you can
Where’d you get that funny accent - at a mission or a convent?
It’s getting difficult to understand
This means war!
What are we fighting for?
You say its oh-so-nice, the status quo
Well never mind!
Maybe we’ll kill some time?
A simple tete-a-tete, before we go, before we go
The devil lives inside the details, doin’ what he can to blackmail
Everyone for being so stupid
Like Moses in the Promised land, I’m doin’ what I can to survive
But it doesn’t seem that I’m suited
Are you getting the drift?
Was it a gift, that you wanted but you never thought you’d receive?
Straighten up and fly right
And you just might, find yourself getting what you want not what you need

Long Live the King

Well, what do ya know?
Its that time of the year
When we face unafraid, the final frontier
But it treats us well
Even showers us in praise
And that’s hard to find, in a friend nowadays
But in our abundance
We’ve forgotten who to thank
The more that they bless us, the lesser we pray
The king is dead, once again!
So, long live the king!
I’m angry at everyone
And everything
He hung us all out to dry
With no hope of escape
I don’t know if I should be glad
Or I should be afraid
Kill them with kindness
But if that doesn’t work
An insult or two probably wouldn’t hurt
There’s safety in numbers
We’re survived by our young
We will lull them to sleep, while we’re speaking in tongues
You said you mean it, but I don’t mind
The horror is over for all mankind
We want to be somewhere that is safe
You’ll never know, you’ll never know
You said you mean it, but I don’t mind
The horror is over for all mankind
We want to be somewhere that’s safe
You’ll never know, you’ll never know (4x)

A Portrait of a Scene
03:36

We believe everything we see
Safe and sound inside our memories
I just want someone to adore
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before
I won’t fight it, I will not deny it,
Let’s meet in the middle and avoid a riot
I’m in for a penny, you’re in for a pound of flesh
Now I know how it feels to be
Betrayed by my own sense of reality
I’d feed my mind and then watch it grow
But it died on the vine so long ago
We will be a portrait of a scene
A midnight mass belief
They will never need, they will never need anymore
I will cross any line you blur
All you have to-do is say the word
Let’s end this once and for all
I don’t know why you’re so unusual!

L'appel du Vide
03:33

If you need, some company
Don’t be afraid to ask
I’ll be right there, (nay pah payer) mon frere
They’ll be no going back
The symphony plays for you and me
To sooth our battered souls
I must confess, I’ve been a mess
Since we reversed our roles
You said you needed someone
You said you needed someone, badly
You said you needed someone
You said you needed someone, badly
If you don’t mind, I’ll travel blind
Across the universe
I hate to leave but l’appel du vide
This feeling’s getting worse
Before I go, say it ain’t so
‘Cause ignorance is bliss
It’s what we see, when we leap
Into that great abyss
You said you need (3x)
Badly (4x)

Tonight

We’ll stand strong with you through it all
Robbing Peter just to pay back Paul, tonight, oh tonight
Suicide is for cowards though
Especially if you’re “in the know”, tonight, oh tonight
Well, it takes a village just to raise child
And teach them well, teach them how they should survive, yeah survive
A stranger’s just a friend that you haven’t met
Or maybe they’re another enemy of mine, yeah of mine
Restless soul will you never be
Satisfied until you are set free, tonight, oh tonight
All good things, they will come to pass
We’re stepping through into the looking glass, tonight, oh tonight
Don’t ever let ‘em see you sweat, my friend
Cause nothing ever matters in the end, in the end
Even though the best of us, make mistakes
Do as I say - not as I do, again, not again
You said “son”…you said “son, don’t be a thief. Don’t be a thief.”
All my life…all my life, I tried to please. I tried to please.
You said “son”, you said “son, don’t be a thief…don’t be a thief.”
All my life, all my life, I tried to please...I tried to please you.
All good things, they will come to pass
We’re stepping through into the looking glass, tonight, oh tonight
