The First Flower

shine

I'm stepping on a grey head
Seen through black and white
I'm tired of being a pin man
Shying from the light
I'm living on desire
These pleasures came too high
I'm dodging round the corpses
who'd beat me for a price

We're painting pictures
We're painting pretty pictures
look how they shine
we're drifting on a river
stepping out of time...shine

They comment appraition
The truth they never told
They're searching for a rainbow
and a little pot of gold
they're smashing the illusion
each new romantic word
they're filling up the palm beach
we'll fight until we serve

We're painting pictures
We're painting pretty pictures
look how they shine
we're drifting on a river
stepping out of time...shine

We're painting pictures
We're painting pretty pictures
look how they shine
we're drifting on a river
stepping out of time...shine

Shine...Shine...Shine...Shine

Sin of sins
I'm sorry I'm not in the flow
I'm sorry I'm not on the floor
I never watch the children dance
I never felt this way before

I'm not in touch with anyone
I'm set apart from everything
forget it seems the hardest words
when living in the sin of sins

There's no escape when living in the sin if sins
There's no escape when living in the sin if sins
sin of sins...sin of sins

The mirror slips and breaks apart
the falling tower is my card
remnants of my sexual role
sin of sins...sin of sins

faithful - until my death
faithful - until

There's no escape when living in the sin if sins
There's no escape when living in the sin if sins
sin of sins...sin of sins

a string of dreams lay tossed aside
I feel my presence left within
I scream and shout but no one hears
when living in the sin of sins

There's no escape when living in the sin if sins
There's no escape when living in the sin if sins
sin of sins...sin of sins

we're living in sin --- ha!

In silence

Silent words for eleve years
Final words become our fears
Watch the man hold the bottle high
Watch his life go running by and by

In silence

The clicking camera misses a frame
The fall of wonders never seen again
his battle scarred face tells it all
society's outcast stripped of life's reward

In Silence

Watch the fall watchh them cry
Watch the old man wake up and die - die

Pendants paid with our loose change
Conscience clean - no more chains
Daunting stare shows the pain
But n one caring to ever look again

In Silence

Gaze
Alone he sits in an unknown place
danger comes to bring a smile
complex searching his complex served him
to smash your image smash your style

life's hard in the shadow of words
more complicated is when you're running
no time no time no time to gaze

vision fades on neutral screen
no release for marshall cummings
tears shower into my hands
there's no stops in what I'm becoming

life's hard in the shadow of words
more complicated is when you're running
no time no time no time to gaze

Room is bought for screaming fair
I reconsider my position
I dream of colours - the man who's seen
such hard ways to revive a condition

life's hard in the shadow of words
more complicated is when you're running
no time no time no time to gaze

to gaze

propaganda
Doorways closed by stagnent lies
Wasted years through puzzled eyes
Filth is forced through every door
The twisted truth infects the floor

Propaganda! Propaganda!

A smiling face decays the screen
A mask designed to trick the green
Instructors paid to guide our day
The flock believe in all they say

Propaganda! Propaganda!

Transparent lies engulf the sky
Control the minds of the passer by
Truth declines to see or hear
Electric banners we hold so dear

Propaganda! Propaganda!



Proper translation care of Max (the original author none the less!)

The Tennant
Two eyes meet the pull is very strong
The persons dream - It's running on and on
The tenant views a mind to let
With small diversions that could be sooner said

Solely appearing - the person that you're soon to know

The tenant - The tennant
The tennant - he waits
Seductively he's torn apart
The tennant - he waits
Reluctantly he plays a part

An incident it causes an actered state
----Translated the tennant can't relate
Habit forming that leads to habit breaking
The tennant's lost in his new undertaking
His mind's confused he cannot tell who is wrong
An image appears but never stays with him for long

The tenant - The tennant
The tennant - he waits
Seductively he's torn apart
The tennant - he waits
Reluctantly he plays a part

The tenant - The tennant
The tennant - he waits
Seductively he's torn apart
The tennant - he waits
Reluctantly he plays a part

The tennant stares and shakes with fear
His stage is set his time is drawing near
Act complete as he hits the floor
The crowd roar and some scream for more
The darkness breaks but still the pull is very strong
Two eyes meet the patients dream runs on and on

The tenant - The tennant
The tennant - he waits
Seductively he's torn apart
The tennant - he waits
Reluctantly he plays a part

Time

A nation sits to wait
But our solutions come too late
The sun had set too fast
Forgotten lessons from the past
But no -one seemed to care
Disillusion everywhere
The last dance begins
As man commits the final sin

Dance dance dance
To the fool's delight
Dance dance dance
To the fool's delight

The march of time - the march of time

Stripped of all my pleasure
Drained of all real life
Await the final hour
Lost with no real choice

Dance dance dance
To the fool's delight
Dance dance dance
To the fool's delight

The march of time - the march of time

The dance is nearly over
And still the fools won't rest
Time is fading slowly
Will this madness still persist

Dance dance dance
To the fool's delight
Dance dance dance
To the fool's delight

The march of time - the march of time

Dance dance

 

 

Promise

Dressed for looks and glances
Of any man who dares
Smiling of dismonour
The human walking lair
There's comfort in this madness
But no one seems to care
She'll dance you like a puppet
She'll drop you down the stairs

The promise
The promise

A gallery of wishes
Watch every move you make
The character so perfect
She never makes mistakes
The taste of sweat is bitter
My hearts in dark despair

The promise the promise
The promise the promise
The promise the promise

You promised

 

Don't leave without me
I sat in silence when the message came
Shaken with disbelief I cried in shame
Ice cold fingers running down my spine
Twisted emotions blacked out my mind

I scream and shout I scream and shout
I'm left in doubt I feel left out
I scream and shout I scream and shout
I'm left in doubt I feel left out

The vivid image is not so clear
Just passing thoughts I held so dear
A lasting pain is all you left
A vital reuion you stopped with death

I scream and shout I scream and shout
I'm left in doubt I feel left out
I scream and shout I scream and shout
I'm left in doubt I feel left out

I feel left out I feel left out

I scream and shout I scream and shout
I'm left in doubt I feel left out
I scream and shout I scream and shout
I'm left in doubt I feel left out

Out out Please let me out.
