Ankle Deep In Mud
05:03

Went down by the swamp, looking around
Went down by the swamp, see what I've found
Went down by the swamp, down by the sea
Went down by the swamp, looking at me
Ankle deep in mud, trying to run
Ankle deep in mud, it's no fun
Something underground, sneaking on by
Something underground, people cry
Something underground, go crawling on
Something underground, my nerves are gone
Ankle deep in mud, nowhere to go
Ankle deep in mud, we're running too slow
Screams all around, out of nowhere
Screams all around, no one will dare
Screams all around, something is near
Screams all around, that's something I fear
Ankle deep in mud, getting no place
Ankle deep in mud mud mud mud mud mud
Where's the race?
Ask yourself where's the race?
Ankle deep in mud, getting no place
Ankle deep in mud mud mud mud mud mud

You've Got To Stop
03:28
|

Unknown weakness follow me
Enter anguish, tragically
The ceiling up above
Falling down, falling down, falling
The world around standing still
Move too fast, now I'm ill
The pressure up above
Caving in, caving in, caving
People don't help, they just stare
Nothing to fear, never a care
People all around
Run away, run away, run, run
You have got to stop
You know you can't go on (4x)

On and On
02:01
|
|||
|
Your eyes have cracked
They've shattered the image
Convenience for the moment
On and on and on and on and on
It slips away
The place is packed, whose image is worse?
Controlling every movement
On and on and on and on and on
And run away
No time to look back, trapped in the past
Controlling all the destiny
On and on and on and on and on
And fade away
You keep thinking, you keep acting
Keep on pretending
On and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on

Just for the Moment
02:22
|

|
Eyes are lined with respectable lies
Floating backward ‘til it cries
Function stops, in walks conflict (x3)
Lives are lined with forgettable ties
Forced emotion ‘til it dies
Nothing's said, I'm forgotten (just for the moment) x4
Just for the moment (x4)

The Difference
03:04
|
|||
|
Differences ignored, they'll get you in the end
Differences ignored, nerves will bend
You push too far, there's nothing left
You push too far, there's nothing left
You make a bed, you dig a grave
You lie in a blanket it'll go away
You make a bed, you dig a grave
Under the covers, you've got it made
Differences ignored, unforseen tragedy
Giving up is not the end
You make a bed, you dig a grave
Let's die again (x3)
You make a grave, you got it made
With differences you die indifferent
You make a grave, you got it made
Our differences just lie indifferent
Differences ignored, unforseen tragedy
Giving up is not the end
You make a bed, you dig a grave
Let's die again (x4)

Face
02:35
|

White men, some wear silver, some wear gold
Clean men, some are new, some are old
They bite, they smile, they can scare
Deciduous existence is not fair
Two men, one can see, one cannot
Blue men, I can't help what I got
They sleep, they stare, they can cry
One thing's for certain, they can't lie
There's too many people that I can't ...
There's too many people that I can't ...
There's too many people that I can't ...
Face, face

Black Mirror
02:18
|
|||
|
In the night, I can pretend
Black and bright, I see the end
Vicious nightmares, Silent dreams
Only black stares, frightened screams
Reflections of nothing, nothing but fear
Shiny future, in my black mirror
White sunlight, Shows us the past
Bright black night, covers all that
Only dreams see what I know
No one's with me where I go
There's nothing that I see,
Nothing is here, shiny future
In my black mirror
In the night I can pretend
Black and bright, I see the end
Vicious nightmares, silent dreams
Only black stares, frightened screams
Reflections of nothing, nothing but fear
Shiny future, In my black mirror

Berlin on the Plains (3x)
No choice but action (2x)
It's night but you see
It's cold but you burn
It's still but you hear
It's mean but you're strange
Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains
Berlin on the Plains
Berlin on the Plains
No choice but action
No choice but action
It's weak but you're fresh
It's stay but you leave
It stares but you sneer
It's bound but you're free
Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains (3x)
No choice but action (2x)
Go!
It's night but I see
It's cold but I burn
It's still but I hear
It's mean but I'm strange
Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains (3x)
No choice but action (2x)
It's weak but I'm fresh
It's stay but I leave
It stares but I sneer
It's bound but I'm free
Why are the bells tolling signs of action?
Berlin on the Plains (6x)
No choice but action

They Walk In Pairs
01:56
|
|||
|
Sentinels guard the enemy thoughts
And stare each other down
All is open but nothing's revealed
They wait for each other to open fire
Action, action and reaction
They walk in pairs
Action, action and reaction
They walk in pairs
Courage hides and lies are heroes
Talk, no cares, they walk in pairs
Feelings flee, discuss what remains
Talk, no cares, they walk in pairs
Action, action and reaction
They walk in pairs
Action, talk no cares
They walk in pairs
Action, talk no cares
They walk in pairs

Because of Green
03:04
|

|
Sit back and consume
There is nothing left to choose
Automatic this and that
Sit right back and get fat
Sit right back
Sit right back
Relax until you die
It's a sin to just get by
Your eyes are turning green
Living life suppressed by greed
Relax
Relax
Relax until you die
It's a sin to just get by
Automatic this and that
Sit right back and get fat
Sit right back
And relax

What It Is We Fear
03:17
|
|||
|
Touch I can touch
Pale, you turn pale
Deadly are my fingers
I guess you can tell
What it is we fear
Passion where is this love it
doesn't take
Talk we can talk
all night in silence
What it is we fear
For reasons of purpose
virtue has not stuck
Trapped in the syntax of
someone else's game
What it is we fear
(instrumental break)
What it is we fear
What it is we fear

Sitting around thinking alone
I got rats and birds on my side
You say, talk talk
Nothing to hide
There are lessons learned
Who's on my side?
Is it real for you?
Is she everything you need?
Do you sit at home and lie to yourself
Like I do? Like I do
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
What do I want? What do you need?
Do you bleed like I do
Like I do? Like I do
Sitting around thinking alone
I got rats and birds on my side
You say, talk talk
Nothing to hide
There are lessons learned
Who's on my side?
Who is she? Is it real for you?
Is she everything you need?
Do you sit at home and lie to yourself
Like I do? Like I do
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
Laughter is measured, Time, no pleasure
