lantern
Been counting raindrops since the day the lie parade began
Think I turned cold from its embrace
When you’ve been trapped inside the palace of the rich man
The only place to spit is in his face
I found the way to clear the fog
This lock without a key
Time to rewrite the epilogue
What I was meant to be
I’m gonna find a way through, as if I got a choice
If I had someone else’s body, someone else’s voice
I’m gonna find a way through so this won’t end where it began
I’m standing in the marketplace, searching for an honest man
“I can tell that you’re not from here,” was the thing she said
“‘Cause you’ve still got a fire inside”
All of these pastel Pharisees that come to break their bread
To mask the rot the spray-tans hide
I found the way to clear the fog
Light the fire inside of me
Look backwards and call me a dog
And a dog is what I’ll be
I’m gonna find a way through, as if I got a choice
If I had someone else’s body, someone else’s voice
I’m gonna find a way through so this won’t end where it began
I’m standing in the marketplace, searching for an honest man
Call me a dog
It’s time to light the lantern
Call me a dog
It’s time to light the lantern
It’s time to…

silence the dark
I found my old pen
Didn’t know where or when
I seemed out of my head
The last word was my end
All in all, it made no sense
Wasn’t well, such a mess
Scared to see how close I came
Never want to be that dark again
I silence the dark (x4)

eyes of caligula
wear the mask
such a burdensome task
never ask why you gasp for air
turn the page
backward to that golden age
heard of but wasn’t really there
the new stupid has the same old groove
create a movement that cannot be moved
and what is true to the naked eye
anything we need to nullify
rare earth ruins common clay
making monsters of the everyday
I am blind, yeah
but you look like a good joe to my eye
I am blind, yeah
but you look like a good joe
as far as I can see
seen through the eyes of Caligula
seen through the eyes of Caligula
through the night
watch their torches come alight
heartbeat loud, quiet as the void
wicked hands
washed in blood and soil demands
hide from view unity destroyed
natural selection has a bitter taste
define a righteous life by what it wastes
and what is true to the naked eye
anything we need to nullify
rare earth ruins common clay
tyranny within the everyday
I am blind, yeah
but you look like a good joe
I am blind, yeah
but you look like a good joe
as far as I can see
seen through the eyes of Caligula
seen through the eyes of Caligula
(eyes) if you could only see what I’ve
seen with your eyes...

sirens wail within their concrete choir
shadows drape the city street
like holy robes donned for an offering
of youthful blood to old concrete
you willed the winter to the windowpane
you nailed your culture to the wall
a flag of liberty has come aflame
the ashes glisten as they fall
searchlight on the horizon,
light the warning hung by my heart
black tide we ever rise in,
like the warning hung by my heart.
searchlight on the horizon,
light the warning hung by my heart
let all you despise in,
like the warning hung by my heart.
Witness confusion in their faces now,
Witness rage and disbelief,
Witness denial, that tiny trial that all the liars take
To cut the guilt off from the grief,
You willed the winter to the windowpane,
You nailed your culture to the wall,
A flag of liberty has come aflame,
The ashes glisten as they fall.

tear me down

tear me down
lost, torn
I became your prey
blind lust
like moth to the flame
pulled down
this dark hole
where nightmares
take hold
trapped here
inside
nowhere left
to hide
stone cold
you're blind
to what you've done to me
no end
in sight
to what you've done to me
I won't let you
tear me down
again
I won't let you
tear me down
again
in the darkness of the night
I won't fear you
I finally
see the light
I won't fear you
sweet dreams
have faded away
time nears
to plan my escape
trapped in
this silent cage
I steal the key
from your rage
I'll take
what you stole
to piece back
my soul
no more
cruel lies
what you've done to me
control
denied
what you've done to me
I won't let you
tear me down
again
I won't let you
tear me down
again
in the darkness of the night
I won't fear you
I finally
see the light
I won't fear you
In the darkness of the night
I won't fear you
I won’t fear you
I won’t fear you
never more
I will survive
what you've done to me

in consequence
the city is filled with undimensional things
kabuki girls and shadowplay boys
dance on Punch-and-Judy strings
the office block windows form random patterns
one way mirror eyes
I need the fix of oblivion to come
I need the night
And the shadows are alive
With grinning familiars of fate
Factories of coincidence hum
Manufacture my mistake
Translating Rosetta stones of needs
Enigma codes of pain
I’ll show you dark horizons we once knew
We will begin again
And the rain came down to haunt us
All the color washed away
The mystery unfolded
The contradictions weighed
And I always knew that you would
Turn upon yourself one day
In consequence
You turned away

i only say what you said to me
i only see what i want to see
I deny your humanity
I deny your reality
my pain is all that matters
reason tatters years ago
I will smile while your world shatters
you, my friend, will never want to go
i won’t lie
we don’t care about it
we don’t mind so long as we don’t have to
hear about it
paint a pretty fiction while the planet burns
stick our heads in the sand ‘cuz we never learn
I won’t lie
we don’t care enough to undo the facade
we’re the chosen of God
hear no speak no evil
bleed that mantra dry
we don’t see no evil, we don’t try
hear no speak no evil
that’s the alibi
we don’t see no evil, we don’t try

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved
