1. Saviour Machine I

Come with me and soon prepare to pass
through the beautiful gates of symbolic conviction
that challenged the reign.
stay with me, don't be afraid to believe
in man's infinite search for the truth in his world
and his right to portray the romantic face of legend and life

Take my hand, i have walked this way before.
the essence of man is at war with the spirit
yet knocking at the door.
don't let go in this imminent confusion,
for tyranny's son will be threatened by one
who would challenge their delusion.
look inward, at the secret world within,
to bring the arrival of freedom and knowledge
the mind denies to give.
death and honor are thought to be the same;
the rebellious nature of man and society
silent running in his game.
no one will confess to this irreverent heresy,
as the witness is falling, someone is
calling me closer to the dream

Sent to live and sent to testify,
it is not found in life by adapting to form,
but by forming within us.
sent to give, empowered to impart the imperishable word
unto all its sincere aspirants of truth

The time will come and so the band played on
to offer a prayer for the rising aware that will
soon touch the robe and gaze
at the stare of this saviour machine

2. The Gates

(инструментал)

3. Enter The Idol

See the fire burn inside my eyes
see the liar turn inside my soul
enter the idol, enter the idol
let me show you casualties unknown
let me take your hand to dreams unshown
enter the idol, enter the idol

I've nothing to give, nothing to take,
i've no one to run and no one to save,
i've no one to strengthen and no one to please,
i'd rather die standing then live on my knees.
i refuse to believe i'm condemned to deceive
you will see for the truth is embodied in me

Enter the horror, enter the saint, enter the idol
enter the idol, enter the idol

The peril surrounding resurgence of doubt,
the alienation is stranded about.
the union of silence has sickened the day,
a garden of verses will take me away, take me away

In circles of wisdom, distortion of rage,
in grace and in bondage my world is a stage,
my instincts insane, my obsessions ordained,
my powers increasing in self-righteous vain.
every wolf suffers fleas, every prophet's diseased,
every legend convicted will fall to his knees

4. The Hunger Circle

A cauldron of cults leads the ambush of thoughts in my mind,
doctrines of demons that crawl in my eyes leave me dancing
blind,
the passport to horrible manifestations and lies
inducing eruptions, disfiguring plains in it's silent cries

The lust in the void is desolate and needing,
the alienation is tenuous and breathing

Into the hunger circle a stranger awaits,
inside the hunger circle the heretic reigns,
into the hunger circle, into the altered states,
the keeper of the killing streets
will wake up screaming crisis in his game

The perilous tide from the ominous side of the lines
is thriving, relentlessly transporting glassy-eyed warning signs.
this kind of malice is sheer mutilation of love.
this epidemic of flesh and convulsion is sickened perversion above

A prayer for the dying, a kiss for the last,
a tear for the crying, a hit for the cast

Into the hunger circle a stranger awaits,
inside the hunger circle the heretic reigns,
into the hunger circle, into the altered states,
the keeper of the killing streets
will wake up screaming crisis in his game

The breeding oppression of millions of victims is done,
the wealthiest nation on earth must provide for its waiting son.
his arsenic is rising...
come inside the genocide ride

Look what you've done to me, look what you've done to my world,
here comes the flood to release me, here comes the turn

Fighting the hunger circle, standing alone,
lighting the hunger circle, vision is shown,
dying, the hunger circle, die in the face of pain,
the keeper of the killing streets is sleeping now,
and dreaming of my name

5. Child In Silence

Child in silence--i've seen the way the tears
run down your face.
child of violence--i know that you 've been
dying in this place.
child without mercy--they've haunted you with
whispers in the dark.
child in exile--they violate and stain you
with their mark

Child--this silent seduction enrages me.
child--the fatal assassin's black eyes will bleed

Child in silence, i know who you are.
child, you're lost and alone in the dark.
child, i know that you're hurting inside.
child, i've seen your affections denied.
child in turmoil, i know where you've been.
child in darkness, i've seen what you've seen.
in the night, in this fear of letting go of the light.
i hear you calling me home

Child--no one shall covet your dreams tonight.
child--the tyrant will cry in the streams of light

Child in silence, i have seen your dreams
child in darkness, i've heard when you scream in the night,
in this fear of letting go, in the light,
i'll be standing there to hold you

6. Ascension Of Heroes

I've heard the silence of the angels,
i've seen betrayed my faith in men
and their conditions of salvation
in which so blindly they defend

Touch the light that crawls from the page,
ascension of heroes--strengthen the saints
ascension of heroes--that call from the stage

The tyrant, he lives and dies by the sword,
he has painted his face and tainted the lord,
into the arena, his faith is restored

The mortal storm of fear that wages their will
to take away your names will keep the phantoms
in their cages and cast the children into flames

Touch the light that crawls from the page,
ascension of heroes--strengthen the saints,
ascension of heroes--that call from the stage

I loved you with all my heart and my soul,
the conflict within is leading me home,
the ghost and the godsend are standing alone

The birth of a new world awaits in your hands,
with only your hopes and your dreams may you stand

Ascension of heroes--are waiting command,
ascension of heroes--awaiting the stand

7. Paradox

(инструментал)

8. The Stand

Are you ready for the unveiling?
we have met the enemy and he is us.
breeding divisions within the body,
distorting scriptures, creating instability
and all oppressive form s of dissonance.
there is disorder, its quarantine is necessary
when pale attempts to gather men result in confusion
for unity cannot be based on doctrine

The blinding light is paradoxical,
symbolic of two spiritual lineages,
the ministry of life and resurrection,
the ministry of death and condemnation

The poltergeist moves ancient and established,
reviving scenes of medieval inquisition;
every desecration emphasized in psychic renaissance,
reserving atmosphere for terminating thoughts.
the priest is talking backwards painting sacrilegious pictures
in his doctrinal errors, emphasizing isolated scriptures.
his intolerable anointing is inhuman interrogation
and its paranormal necromancy feeds upon its nation.
we will prostitute this offering with discipline and honor,
we're evolving man to higher states
for the age of rationalism is over

To the uninitiated,
we will stalk the enemy and cross the line.
can you feel the signs? cross the line.
are we still alive? cross the line

To walk the sacred halls of truth
for whom the blood of angels cry,
to fill your servants cup with light,
for in his heart the spirits rise, rise.
to search and trace the scars of love and infinite betrayal.
for those who face resistance are protected by the grail.
break the silence, take the fear.
rape the sorrow, wipe the tears, rise, rise

Drink the blood of the lamb,
await the stand.
drink the blood of the lamb,
await the stand

The spirit haunts the armies breathing life in this militia,
to bring complete reversal of authority and power
into the eyes of god on highest, witnessing two worlds collide,
the blood is rising in the temple, naked and alive

The stage is set through all dimensions,
denominations and rituals;
from evolution to revolution and indestructible force,
immune to righteousness based on law and civil disobedience,
the people find the pale defendant guilty on all charges

The battlefield is cold and worn, receiving gifts of tyranny;
the revolution has arrived to turn his face around
and see it's covered with the blood of martyrs' innocent sedation,
with a kiss the child is lying slain upon the ground

The lamb will stay awake with me to watch the revolution
and light the ground we stand upon.
the powers of the night, drawn between the darkness
in the fields of blind indifference we count
the corpses silently before the blood has dried

His peace is broken into a thousand scars revealed,
he puts on his bloody robe for the last time.
his eyes, like mirrors, filled with murder;
i saw him falling in the streams,
immersed in tears, crying for the others,
fighting to receive possession of his will

Standing in the fife, he said to me:
"if you don't reject this power it may destroy you."
for we have seen the great interval, and we have lived to see
the monster sleeping, but some will say
the monster was me

I will hold his ashes in my hands,
dreaming out loud, moving in metaphors, dancing away

9. American Babylon

A thousand bloody hand prints stain the walls of liberty,
a stranger hides in dreams denied, awaiting his release.
i've seen this picture before.
i never though that we would end up here,
when fascism comes as an angel of light
its license parading as tyranny drives forth its son

The son of morning dominating fears, afflicting fallen men.
his body highly organized; its coming into prominence
to bear its ominous warnings.
its in your blood to comprehend its origin,
for those who refuse to remember the past are condemned to
repeat it,
the first and the last, dust to dust

History is his his story
and life is laughing at its peril

Building towers that come forth in men,
shifting powers consuming us within,
they will puzzle the apostles till the end

Enter into the silence, into the dying life of america,
the brave, the slave, the grave

The shattered pigs dying as primitive savages,
eating their flesh, they lie rotting in dirt,
while a stranger among you has challenged the course
of inhuman existence and alien forces.
the birth of the black prince is setting the stage
in its thriving dissension, exalting his rank,
and the innocent man will fall victim to hands
in the trial of the truth
and its twisted reversal.
the union of factions bleeds shock to the system,
for civilization has ended today.
the transitional nature of acts and society climbs in its place
while its face re-creates and until your god is dead.
enlighten me with your pale statues, face of inhibition,
and until your reign has ended, frighten me with your
stale-taste-tongue of inquisition

In your eyes i will come forth in men lines with no justice,
no order to defend, and the stone will be cast again

Enter into the fire, into the bloody gates of america,
the great, the fate, the late

10. Ceremony

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
to strip away the myth from the man is only dealing
with the symptoms in the critical condition, the disease is
untouched

You saw what they did to me,
don't tell me to forget.
have you no sense of decency?
how can you justify arrest?

And now the charges are enraged
(within this ceremony)
imprisoned with a kiss, betrayed
(within this ceremony)
the crucifixion of the faith
for all the loved ones left unnamed
we fought to give them life,
we touched the very soul
in the ancient funeral, the ceremony rites

His faith relentlessly attacked and destroyed
when your enemy can find a way of
twisting your motives, believe he will.
to be convicted without fatal charm's infection,
when the perfect light upon him was corrupted by void,
self-righteously judged

To die in the line of duty, i am complete in its truth.
if you have died unto the world, what can the world do to you?

Into the darkness of the night
(begins the ceremony)
into the shadow of a dream
(begins the ceremony)
announce the coming of the white prophet
and take this cup away from me,
and stand in the light the superstar beholds,
in the ancient funeral, the ceremony rites

We are conceived as the first circle, the book of knowledge surely
tells,
we are all part of an unseen conflict within the world
and within ourselves

And now we're closer to the light
(release this ceremony)
and now we must prepare the way
(release this ceremony)
remove the ancient boundaries to give the son of man his day,
to roll away the stone and rise to the thrown
in awaited resurrection, the ceremony cries

11. Overture

(инструментал)

12. Love Never Dies

And the children shall lead the angels at play
in the fields of slaves.
for man is the hunted, accused and forsaken and slain by his own domain.
the diamonds edge will cut the eyes of the paper mask in paradise.
the fools of fortune paint their portraits
on carnal crimes and lonely lies

The tides of war that crash within,
to break the heart and leash the skin,
a man waits the child inside,
to end his bloody reign in time

Love never dies--love never denies,
love never lies--love desperately cries,
unto the other side,
unto the unborn child in your eyes

Walk by faith and walk by sight,
you're sanctified with blood and light,
in days of roses, nights sublime,
the prince of passion lives divine

Love never dies--love never denies,
love never lies--love desperately cries,
unto the other side,
unto the unborn child in your eyes

I will rise in your eyes.

13. Saviour Machine II

Lord, into your hands i commend my spirit,
alive to see legions of angels awaiting my sacred incarnation

Take me home to clean this bloody robe of
the covenant sealed between heaven and earth,
i will come forth ascended in salvation

The book of life will free this rising son,
resurrected in time now the dream has arrived
and this soul is alive, two worlds are baptized

Underneath these everlasting arms
the awaited messiah has risen to life by
the sword of the spirit in his eyes

Can't you see, their hearts are crying with needs?
release me to offer them freedom and peace
so profound in its nature above

Go and make disciples of all,
one in the name of the father, and of the son,
and of the holy spirit of love

The time has come, and so the band plays on,
releasing his power, and shouting in tears,
"it is finished; do you see
the light of the saviour inside this machine?"
