Lyrics

Temple of Secrets By Paul Roe

Shine coming always turns me round with a feeling
A feeling of emotion
Silent woman in a field of dreams and a reason
To show me direction

Coming down from a razorback high in a wonder
Move on to the green man
To the temple in a choir of whispering children
And show me connection

(Bow down at the temple of secrets)
I need a reason
(Bow down at the temple)
A reason for believing
(Bow down at the temple of secrets)
Show me visions of treason
(Bow down at the temple)
In the temple of secrets

Patterns shifting on a slouching beast in the distance
And echoes of fire and light
Calling marvels from the cold in the blackness of time
A kiss of deception

Moments fading through the windows and doors of desire
And secondhand memories
Instant victims of an angel of suffering means
A hollow religion

Adlib

Soulless City by Paul Roe

The city sleeps all day and slouches to the night
Where wakens life so bright and death for those who fear
Redemption waits for one who lives beyond the dark
And touches souls with hope of faith and trust so clear

Soulless
City
Reclaim
The night

The chosen saviour walks the line between the sides
Drawn up by hands of old in lands of fear and bliss
The search for life to match his lonely tortured soul
The quest for demon blood to clear the vampire's kiss

In the city of angels
Inthe city of angel

The city's shepherd leads the blind towards the light
And stakes a presence in the black heart of the night
Visions of torment guide the tortured to the weak
Echoes of gratitude the rescued fallen speak

Soulless
City
Reclaim
The night

In the city of angels
Inthe city of angel

Soulless
City
Reclaim
The night

Resurrection Playground by Paul Roe

Where the rose is sown frustration ripples through the ground
Nailed into a box and a prayer of broken hearts
Seasons drifting in and out of mist and candlelight
Resting place or fleeting space, the dark
Lifeless bodies shuffle from eternal harvest home
Crawling upwards seeking wonderland
Place to pray is torn away, the blessed turned aside
There are bodies dancing on the land

Wouldn't you like to go
But you wouldn't want to know

In the resurrection playground
The dead come out to play
In the resurrection playground
Live for another day
In the resurrection playground
Wouldn't you like to stay
In the resurrection playground

Lifeforce spinning, playground swinging, bleeding in the night
Sleepers, wakers, not a one was saved
What is and what should be blurs and melts into the same
Empty holes where endless sleep was made
Miracles and nightmares come together hand in hand
Spirits drink in exstasy and fear
Life from death brings death to life to rage hard in the night
Sacred games and living hate is here

Wouldn't you like to go
But you wouldn't want to know

In the resurrection playground
The dead come out to play
In the resurrection playground
Live for another day
In the resurrection playground
Wouldn't you like to stay
In the resurrection playground

...Repeat verse one...

Wouldn't you like to go
But you wouldn't want to know

In the resurrection playground
The dead come out to play
In the resurrection playground
Live for another day
In the resurrection playground
Wouldn't you like to stay
In the resurrection playground

In the resurrection playground
The dead come out to play
In the resurrection playground
Live for another day
In the resurrection playground
You know you want to stay
In the resurrection playground

Armageddon In A Can (Revisited) by Paul Roe

New age has come around again
But we've seen it all before
Vicious lies slay the truth
Sparks of light to draw the sooth-sayer
From his lair

(Chorus)
And what you get is what you need
The sands of time reveal your greed
Emotions reel your bubble bursts
Your game plan shot, your offense cursed
The nemesis, your only friend
A breath of life, the future's end
Try some of this spoke the man
It's armageddon in a can

"Nonsense words", spoke bitter man
"It's no truth I care to hear"
We'll burn this earth to broken crust
And revel as it turns to dust
It's harder to give it up

(Chorus)

Nyaga, My Brother by Paul Roe

Her voice seeps through the sun parched earth
A dusty breath to draw him near
A whisper, a sigh, a song, a tear

Nyaga - Nyaga, my brother

Mothers, daughters, fathers, sons
Fathers daughters, not the only ones

Nyaga - Nyaga, my brother

The song of the desert grows in my ears tonight
Like wind across the plain at mornings light
The song of the desert brings me to my knees
The song of the desert sings Nyaga, please

Jealous eyes regard the dear
A sibling laid so low
Reverberence wherever you may go

Nyaga - Nyaga, my brother

The shepherd hears the muted call
Leads him in its haunted thrall

Nyaga - Nyaga, my brother

The song of the desert grows in my ears tonight
Like wind across the plain at mornings light
The song of the desert brings me to my knees
The song of the desert sings Nyaga, please

Ake sauti tomoa chaka lowana ardhi
A tifu nafsi kwa chomoa yeye jirani
Mnong'ono, kite tahlili chozi

Abu binti katu tu mamoja
Husudu jicho jali mpenzi

Nyaga - Nyaga, my brother

The song of the desert grows in my ears tonight
Like wind across the plain at mornings light
The song of the desert brings me to my knees
The song of the desert sings Nyaga, please

Cold Blooded Martyr by Paul Roe

Well I sweat in many colours
Beat the skin that wraps the world in warm embrace
Clod blooded martyr
With the healing song that hides without a trace

Mother & baby child
The future of this sacred hallowed land
Love living freely
Till trouble comes around and takes them by the hand

Kill for survival
Let the guilty burn in everlasting fire
Kill for survival
And the bloodlust calling never seems to tire

Now I'm rolling up the numbers
Living sin will fall before the saviours sword
Blood flowing freely
Divine devotion leads the blind towards the horde

Now in the pale moonlight
I hear the voice that lives inside my head
Another victim waits
To be despatched to hell's infernal stead

Kill for survival
Let the guilty burn in everlasting fire
Kill for survival
And the bloodlust calling never seems to tire

Kill for survival
Let the guilty burn in everlasting fire
Kill for survival
And the bloodlust calling never tires it burns

Speak And Destroy by Paul Roe

A state of darkness filled with heaven sent and hell bound hopes and dreams
The misery loves company cliche is what you speak to me
So long
Bye bye
Your words are weapons and they rip the veil of tears apart I cry

I don't want you
Your words are lies
I don't need you
It's no surprise

The day we met there was a pressure drop, I swore you were the one
But now your acid tongue has left me like a blister in the sun
So long
Bye bye
Another broken man, a victim tossed aside as you pass by

I don't want you
Your words are lies
I don't need you
It's no surprise

That when you speak and destroy
My shattered will
Speak and destroy
You're set to kill

So long I've waited, now you're finally preparing for the end
A bitter word from you condemns me for eternity to spend
So long
Bye bye
The voice of reason killed by reasons for the verbal knives to fly

I don't want you
Your words are lies
I don't need you
It's no surprise

That when you speak and destroy
My shattered will
Speak and destroy
You're set to kill

And when you speak and destroy
My shattered will
Speak and destroy
You're set to kill

Shattered Fragments by Paul Roe

Communication breakdown sets up the link
Dark clouda amassing as you step to the brink
The heat is rising like the smell of success
Epoch approaches science fiction morde or less

Peace is shattered, nothing mattered
Inferno raging in the forest of the night
Balance shifted, awareness lifted
Pick up the pieces as you step out of the light

Shattered fragments
Broken pieces

Sever connections with the ties to the past
No profit in peace futures crumbling at last
Smoke stacks are spitting poison into the sky
The dreams of dreamers reaching ever high

Peace is shattered, nothing mattered
Defeated history succumbs to new time
Balance shifted, awareness lifted
OUt of you depth and trading reason for rhyme

Shattered fragments
Ruined lives

Romantic preludes in the veil of the dark
Lovers locked in contemplation of the spark
Erupting vacuum rips their hearts to the air
The world around them melts eternity to share

Shattered fragments

Dead by Paul Roe

Well the pill on my tongue is bitter twisting
Down my thoat and my brain is listing to port
Got my head on a stick
My soul's in tatters and my body is sick
Cold skin
In the silent night
Overdose, comatose, very close, tight
Are the ties
That bind my will together
And as I hear the hallowed call
I hate
You and the world forever
As I slip
As I slip towards the light inside my head
I hope
You're happy now I'm dead

The Elemental by Paul Roe

Dust maker, pressure cooker
Thunder roll and dirty looker
Bleed the sky of elemental rain

Hyper culture, multi storey
Hanging out in days of glory
Whisper wind across my window pane

Touch the sky, feel the fury
The elemental's calling
This is the end
Touch the sky, feel the fury
The elemental's falling
What will you send

Never be the time to see
That the elemental's you and me
Bring the oceans to the sinking land

Iceman cometh, feel the winter
Singing songs of weather bitter
Feel the touch of mother natures hand

Touch the sky, feel the fury
The elemental's calling
This is the end
Touch the sky, feel the fury
The elemental's falling
What will you send

Never be the time to see
That the elemental's you and me
Feel the touch of mother natures hand

Touch the sky, feel the fury
The elemental's calling
This is the end
Touch the sky, feel the fury
The elemental's falling
What will you send

The elemental's calling

What will you send

Sinister Dexter by Paul Roe

Twisting, breathing, crawling, fleeting
(As I lay me down to sleep,)
Dexter stretches, night time greeting
(I pray my sanity to keep)
Alone, the dark and fighting dreaming
(For if some peace I do not find,)
Shadows mingle, searching, meeting
(I'm very sure I'll lose my mind.)

Helter skelter, run for shelter
(May I lie back - not have to think)
Dexter's hands reached out and felt her
(About the cold voice from the sink,)
Catching breath, the shadows melt her
(Or who it's from, or where he's at)
Memories of the scars he dealt her
(And what he's doing to the cat.)

Sweating, swaying, pleading, praying
(I pray for time inside myself)
In this world your body's staying
("Did something just fall off a shelf?")
Dexters lingers, gently playing
(To curl up in my nice, safe bed)
On your dreams and nightmares saying
(And wish to never wake up dead)

"Pretty girl, your dreams are mine
(Yes, now I lay me down to sleep,)
Pretty girl, your dreams are fine
(I pray my wits about me keep,)
Like choicest meat and fancy wine
(But as I look around I know,)
On your darkest fears I'll dine"
(He took them all those years ago.)
