Abney Park – The Root Of All Evil

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

All these roots run deep,
And this tree is old,
This trunk is rotten
All these leaves have mold

Is it in our blood?
Or is it from abuse?
Past generations
Legacy of misuse?

I know my blood runs hot,
And i’ve seen my blood is thick
I’m told my bloods not sweet,
And i cry, “my soul is sick”

We’re the children of children
And we’re handing down there pain
The root of all evil
Is the sanity left to gain?

Chorus -
We were the victims, we were the culprets
We were the children who cry at night
We are the hunted, and we do the hurting
We are the children who cry at night

The fathers father father
May have made this truth
Or was it in his blood
This legacy of abuse

We’re the children of children
And wer’e handing down there pain
The root of all evil
Is the sanity left to gain?

Chorus

All these roots run deep,
And this tree is old,
This trunk is rotten
All these leaves have mold

Is it in our blood?
Or is it from abuse?
Past generations
Legacy of misuse?

Chorus

Abney Park – The Only One

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

I wake each night into this nightmare
Only to find that the worst is clear
I have to spend each day without you
And spend each night dreamin’ that it’s not true
Dreamin’ that it’s not true….

My life is one constant catastrophe
Everything works but means nothin to me
All of my life i gave you my soul
I lived for you, but you had another goal
You had another goal…

There’s only one thing you can’t ask of me
It’s not in my power to stop loving you can’t you see?
I would give you the moon or the stars or the sun
But you hold my heart and ou are the only one

You are the only one,
You are the only one…

Abney Park – The Box

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

From the day she was born they brought her to it
It had opaque walls & a lid locked tight
She spent all of her life picturing what was inside
This perfect world that its walls did hide

Can you see inside the box?
Can you be just like one of us?
For those who can see inside the box will live forever
And all the rest are dying soon

When she came of age she stepped to the outside
Told her family that she couldn’t see
“i spent all of my life picturing what was inside”
This perfect world that its walls did hide

And she said,
I can’t see inside the box
I can’t be just like one of you
For those who can see inside the box will live forever
And all the rest are dying soon
I can’t see inside the box

When she told them so they started to panic
Asked her please, begged her to lie
No longer can we talk to a heathen such as you
This perfect world has its walls locked tight

And they said,
Can you see inside the box?
Can you be just like one of us?
For those who can see inside the box will live forever
And all the rest are dying soon

Abney Park – Stigmata Martyr

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

A heroine, a deity
On heroin, or vanity
To jack their personality
Beyond normal humanity.

A crowd of massed humanity,
Bow and worship diligently.
He’s built a loyal following
And they steer him thoroughly.

But jealous man plots from the pews,
No need for valid righteousness.
One slightly truthful word set free,
Will turn the tides quite easily.

Our accusations need not be,
What would bury mortal man.
The sins of our own deity,
Are tiny, but on these we stand.

So once upon the podium,
A crucifix we then erect,
And nail our hero heartily,
Hands and feet, we bind his neck.

The reasons for our worship fades,
Our idol drenched in his own blood,
Forgotten are the virtues that we,
Valued beyond royalty.

With joy we dig his shallow grave,
Anticipating pains to come.
We watch the wriggling dance of death,
And laugh light hearted at deaths fun.

We pounded out the joyous light.
Our saviors buried now for years.
A legend now of time gone by,
A martyr of forgotten tears.

Abney Park – Rebirth

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

Spare my life,
I’m another reborn
Another year of strife,
Another child of scorn
(2x)

Chorus
My only sin
Was not to give my soul to you
How could you
Ask me to give up my only proven truth

I’m alive again (4x)

Repeat verse

Chorus

I’m alive again (4x)

Repeat verse

Abney Park – No Life

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world
(2x)

I feel engulfed in fire
The world holds too much pain
And if for nothing i seem to tire
The devil still holds his claim

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world
(2x)

If fuel is stacking higher
My place holds too much shame
And if for nothing i seem to tire
The devil still holds his claim

I, i, i do not belong

I do not belong in this life
I do not belong in this house
I do not belong in this job
I do not belong in this world
(2x)

I, i, i do not belong

Abney Park – Kine

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

Bring a line of the people
Bring down, scoop ‘em up.
Take the life from the people,
Go down, and move up.

This is were i reveal myself,
Were i show that i’m not fine.
Can’t follow the cattle people,
Not one of the kine.
(Repeat)

Verse two:
This is were i redeam myself,
Were i show that i’m not blind.
Can’t follow your party’s people,
Not one of your kind.

Still i pray, that i’ll escape one day.

No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal.
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal
No food, for the soul, no friends, no goal.

Here’s your cube
Here’s your stall,
Here’s your phone,
On the wall.

Bring a line of the people
Take their life, take it all.

Abney Park – Hush

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

I have marched,
For years on end.
My comrades fell,
As i defend,
The goals i set.
My armies fled,
Fell as they ran,
Trampled our dead.

Rush, back through the fields, i am hush,
All the ghosts of the dead are awake, i’m afraid

The ghost of comrades
Dead and gone
Rise in my path
To do me wrong.
As wars are fought,
Armies abide.
Should i be tried,
For men who died?

Rush, back through the fields, i am hush,
All the ghosts of the dead are awake, i’m afraid

Abney Park – Holy War

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

Death hue falling on the faces of the streets lost children as the mortar fire broken in.
Nights cold, slipping through the cracks,
Breaking through the cracks of crumbling plaster.
Hunger gnaws, i can feel its claws but the pain of a bullet would burn much hotter in the spot light, mounted on the cannon of the tank the prowls.

Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, i can not see.

Nameless, but i know the faces of the kids i sleep in jezebel’s lair with.
Thoughtless breaking my bread tween the mine fields flowers and gullies with daises.
Some times i can find some rations that a solider let fall when the wind or life left him.
Some times i can find a gun or a pistol or a knife to use.

Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, i can not see.
My eyes are blind, my bodies lame, my families gone, in my god’s name, holy wars.

Nameless, faceless, but a tear or a dollar won’t buy my justice.
Fearless, clothed less then a war torn child should sleep or focus.
Once i watched as a cannon slot fell through the stained glass window of a church on my street.
Once i sat on a steeple now laying in the church yards playground.

Holy war, deliver me, rest my fear, i can not see.
My eyes are blind, my bodies lame, my families gone, in my god’s name, holy wars.

Abney Park – Hellion

Salı, 23 Aralık 2008

I fell to my knees,
Down in the mire,
I felt the heat,
My feet were in the fire,

I yelled “lord please!”
I stared to perspire,
The lord shook the trees,
And turned up the fire.

“i’m going to hell,
That’s what i’m told
No pearly gates
No streets of gold!”

I’ve worshipped wrong,
I’ve prayed to the wrong names,
Sung the wrong songs,
I’m going to feel flames.

The lord said:

What makes you think,
I care ’bout your words,
I see your deeds,
As i watch over my herds.

You fight all the details,
You kill each other in vain.
Cast out your own family,
In jesus’ name.

I should have paid more attention,
When they wrote that damn book.
Ya’ll get so confused,
When you take a look.

I can’t send man to hell,
For being dumber then dirt.
But i do judge if you mean well,
I judge you by who you hurt.
