LYRICS
Let It Roll
Come on in, my love…
…come in, don't be a stranger…
There are times, many times…
…When myself I've done stranger…
…stranger, stranger…
Let it roll lassy, roll.
Come what may, anyway…
I was born not to follow.
There are times, many times…
When my pride I must swallow.
…follow…
…swallow…
ah let it roll lassy, roll
Beause in time, it goes away…
Time proves nothing stays.
The time for change has ended…
It loves you still but I never will again
HYPERGEEK
Wake up!
Joy!
TRIUMPH
Calling, it's calling, I can't stay here
…Knowing there's no higher.
Going, I've gone for so many years…
...Going makes me tired.
And they said it was this, and they said it was that,
And they said it was this and they said…
But it's…
Call for me Jesus, I'm waiting here
Knowing I'm a liar.
Knowing I've known more than half my share…
Knowing bade this triumph!
…and they said it was this,
…and they said it was that,
And they said it was this and they said…
But it's...
WHAT?!?!
Hooray for Dr. Young.
Hooray for earth born and son.
Hooray the time has come…
We vanish once again.
One word - Collective
Mankind - CONNECTED
Never going to die, we're always gonna live forever…
…ever… Every day,
With my skies of grey,
In my field of green...
I've been all I've been
Only for the ego in me.
Hide from the apocalypse around.

THE BABY SONG
Why don't you have a baby?
Why don't you have a child?
Babies are good,
And part of humanity's charm.
Why don't we have a baby?
Why don't we have a child?
Babies are you,
And fatherhood rights all your wrongs.
Goodbye baby, Daddy's going away.
Goodbye Daddy…Baby's here to stay.
A little baby!
Why don't you have a baby?
Why don't you have a child?
Babies are good,
…and fatherhood rights all your wrongs.
Baby… Baby…
VAMPIRA
Night, follows me when you're gone.
And now…how am I to carry on?
But into the night…
…into the darkness
I must be strong, carrying on.
Night, follows me when you leave
And tonight, my mind is under siege
So into the night…
…into the darkness.
Unto the morn, carrying on…
Hate as your co-conspirer
He'll set your soul on fire
Hate, make the flames get higher
Kneel for me now…
VAMPIRA!!!
GO!!!
HEY, HEY!!!
Night, follows me when you leave
With the sights, and the sounds you'd not believe.
So into the night, Into the darkness
Until the morn,
Carrying on and on and on…
Hate as your co-conspirer
He'll set your soul on fire
Hate, make the flames get higher
Kneel with me now…
VAMPIRA!!!
Go!!!
HEY, HEY!!!
HEY, HEY!!!
GAIA
She's a woman
Feel good Mordecai
Known exactly where she's been
Sooner or later well the, fear's gonna hunt you down.
Tell me everything you feel
The fear is overwhelming
The air is getting thin
Seems to save myself my friend,
I'd know where I'd begin
And I'm running on empty.
See the lady, dueling motor car
Knows exactly what she's seen.
It seems like every moment when the wind it blows
and the will it goes and I'm waiting…
…I'm still waiting
Sphere the sense of self my call
Is the lightning in the rain
Seen the lights of hell my soul is sure to find again
And you're running the nails…
Seen the world through everybody's eyes
to know you have to go alone...
PIXILLATE
You are the rainbow!
You are the sun to my chameleon!
We are the river!
We are the stone!
And you're never alone, while you're feeding the crux of the you,
YOU BRAVE ACADIAN
Oh, thank you… thank you!!!
PARALYZED, TERRORIZED,
IN MY EYES I'VE ALWAYS FALLEN
END THIS LINE, ENDLESS LIE
ENDLESSLY BUT STILL I'M FALLING
BREAK ME AWAY FROM MY 'I'.
Hold on tight!
Hold on to you!
PARALYZED, TERRORIZED
IN MY EYES I'VE ALWAYS FALLEN
END THIS LINE, ENDLESS LIE
ENDLESSLY, SO PIXILLATE ME!!!
PARALYZED, TERRORIZED,
IN MY EYES I'VE ALWAYS FALLEN
ENDLESS LIES, ENDLESS LIE ENDLESS LINES
BUT STILL I'VE FALLEN
Break me away from my 'I'
…hold on tight… It's this HOPE…that gives us...
JUDGEMENT
I know you're on the never ending plane
Don't you ever try to sever, or you'll never try again
Now shame on you, cause nobody's free from sin
Now you burn, burn, burn…let the feeding time begin!
Sorry… I'm so sorry…
I had no idea…
BOW BOW BOW
A SIMPLE LULLABY
AAAAAAA!!!!
YEEEAAAHHHH!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
NOTES FROM AFRICA
All the miles, and all the trials, and cities made of gold…
But there's a free way… a free way… a free way to carry you home.
Tell the world, the young and old…
& every boy and girl;
That there's a free way… a free way… a free way to carry you home
OH WHAT A FEELING!
OH WHAT A FEEDING!
KNOW FROM WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED…
IT CAME FROM AFRICA!
OH WHAT A FEELING!
OH WHAT A FEEDING!
KNOW THE CHOSEN ONES…
THEY COME FROM EVERYWHERE,
THEY COME FROM EVERYWHERE,
THEY COME FROM EVERYWHERE!!!
