Knowing that the light has fought you
Distraught spirits walk right through you
Weary ghosts wait for your order
Looking back but running forward
Visionary blind observer
God is gone - the aeon’s over
Solemn vow
Hollow vow
Empty vow
Final vow
Coming down, the law’s mistaken
Disrespect and humiliation
And the city left me lone
Instead I crawl under my stone
Home
Home
And the silver sun has taken me
Want to get away from here
All the light has gone nowhere
All the wreckage found within
Go nowhere
Go nowhere
I’m full of it
Full of it
Nowhere
I’m full of it
All the world will be the heir
Down with you in the ground
That’s what I have found
Down with you
THE SNAKE, PART II – The Ghosts that live inside your Head
Long way down
Long way up
Long way down
It’s a long way up
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way up
All the ghosts that live inside your head
Kill for blurry pictures of a ... long dead man
Dollars running through a fingerless hand
Hailing pictures of a man long dead
People praise a moron in the streets
Make a madmen seem like important
People summon hymns within the street
Make a madmen seem impotent
They say freedom must be paid with blood
Freedom we will never have enough
Selling weapons to innocent kids
Protecting culture that will never
Persist
Persist
Persist
Persist
Persist
Persist
There’s never been another way!
Does this temple grow out of this shit?
Reason tells them: Can't you pull the plug?
They won’t let escape you from this storm
So this is our blame to hold!
There is no such thing no man can build!
Oh, and I had a space ship
Am I on a space trip?
Am I Andy Warhole?
I want to engross you!
THE SNAKE PART III – Pull the Plug
All the things that man can do
I like to do on the moon with you
All the things that flowers never see
I like to show you emptiness
And when the soaring cannons roar again
I will jump to cross the border anyway
It doesn’t have to make sense
In the end I’m filled with
All of us are filled with
Emptiness!
Emptiness!
Emptiness!
So pull the plug!
Emptiness!
So pull the plug!
Come pull the plug!
Come pull the plug!
So pull the plug!
So pull the plug!
Come pull the plug!
