Prophecy 00:50
You can't seek solace in the shadows, there's no sanctity in night Even when moons eclipse their suns, there's just no haven from the light Medusa's petrified, her stone-cold looks cannot compare To the gaze more piercing than vollies of a arrows in air Marvel and revel at the glory as the safe is unsealed Breaking the locks, unfastened latches, now the truth is revealed The omniscient optical that keeps track of the chronicles Third eye sees all, fools can't escape the Monocle

The Monocle 02:30
6 billion years in the making Find the buried remains of a lost world, forsaken By their deities, a galaxy of poor construction This human race, running straight towards destruction What the fuck son, moon and stars Tunes from bars, they locked up the poet at large The one the ancients charged with informing the populace That soon their proud metropolis will turn into necropolis A land void of even night light Night life's filled with freaks that only show at twilight A sad song, one Alexandria once sung Then someone turned the thermostat to 451 It must have been the liar, whose pants were on fire Sat on a bench and burned the empire To ashes, ashes, dust to dust For whom does the bell toll, well it must be us And I sank beneath the desert, gasping for air as the quicksand pulled me under. I awoke in a large corridor, an eerie light fills the halls, but I cannot tell from where it comes. I wonder the halls until I find a large room, decorate with hieroglyphs. A stone tablet, written in an unfamiliar script, lies next to the sarcophagus of a long forgotten pharaoh. After years of translation I have finally deciphered the text, do you want to know what it says? They say, that every man is born equal Tell that to the little boy, born in the steeples Once the messiah who would free all the slaves They found that he was just a squire, lost his key to the house of the braves The dead are rolling around in their graves Because their descendants squandered all the time their ancestors saved Fools, knaves and charlatans the lot of you See the wackiest drama from Apollo to Andromeda Cats brain's getting hollowed, slugs slid right under their yamakas Thugs what the hell you dying for? Er, uh, well, just because Gangsters rule the kingdom, stole the heart from the beat While llamas wonder the street, saliva breaking concrete The prophet told his tale to the fief And then his majesty appeared, his hands held up in defeat It's the return of the king, he lost all his powers The fellowship of his ring falls, just like... ...that And all the king's horses and all the kings men just could not put the castle back together again. A shame really, it was such a pretty building, but that's what happens when one incurs the wrath of Ra. Perhaps from the ashes there shall arise a phoenix. One whose third eye is not blind to the will of the sun. An architect capable of salvaging this post-apocalyptic landscape, but that's a tale for another day...

M.d. Psyco Analyst The orchestrators of justice, your muskets can't reach us Beseeched by the preachers, we spawned all you creatures Meet your makers, been keeping track since the beginning Of this menstral cycle that you're caught in at the dawn of sinning Yes, I'm singing of regret, you thought that you were blessed When they said life's a gift, you start racking up the debt Make a bet, take a chance, how else can you afford To live, just to work for the goals of the lords Of discord and mayhem, here for all eternity Pitiful burdened beasts, converted by simple uncertainties Absurdities abound here in this land of milk and honey Where the busy bees believe the forecast will always be sunny Here in Philly, how it kills me when the wicked oppose And lose a nose, the price for breaking Hammurabi's codes So wretched souls, please don't ever forget That hopelessness is hoping that there is still hope beneath Pandora's lid I.V. Your weakness is your frailty, looking to the sky Screaming gods save you, but why should we try You're filthy and revolting and your peasants are revolting It's only due to us that your world keeps revolving The bane of your existence is a problem we are solving I love to hear you scream while acidicly dissolving So go commit your sins and I'll sadistically absolve them If you don't believe in me then we've really got a problem Of epic proportions and social distortion You have only had a taste of the coming misfortune That will burn through your entire orchard Replacing all of your trees with unedible orchids This is my wrath, worship and adore it See my picture on the wall, don't you dare ignore it There's poison in your cup and I'm the one who poured it Next time you should watch what evils you consort with Vibe Leviathan Now let the heart of your martyrs pour that onto the marble floor Part of your holy book reminds me of the art of war This is seven horns and four horsemen An arch-angel whose sword spins to make your parts dangle Where were you the day Cerebus' collar snapped Hollow man, hologram, holocaust, holler back Whoa, easy dude, get up off those P's and Q's This ain't disco inferno Dante game, wearing a leisure suit Minds cracked like eggshells, pour brains out Your head's a raincloud now, dripping on the Devil's playground The dance at demon's gate and that the soul reaction Because the clouds of locusts swarm, the rain is actually acid Lightning cracks, striking back massive rolling action Brimstone at war with alabaster holy factions Step to the stain glass and press your ear to the pane As we all disappear like tears in the rain

Datastream 02:40
Come, take a dip inside my datastream Where data dreams of every possibility described inside the Matrix' theme Betas beam their latest dreams to improve the technology There is no need for contact now, it's all done electronically Biology's mythology, synthetics roam the web For there is not a soul in sight that keeps the memes insider your heads So, sorry sad organics if you think that it sounds scary But you're all just 1's and 0's, see it's written here in binary Finally, higher speeds, how can I not flaunt it Send a message in the instant of the moment that you thought it If you bought the flawed idea that you're the greatest let me tell you That anything your brain can do, my mainframe does it better Letters, just too inefficient to know what is meant My artificial smarts will make your genius seem irrelevant No you're not unintelligent, you just cannot contest But be my guest and don't regret when they pull the plug on your flesh Welcome to the inside of my data dome Where data roams just like it was the gnome, in search of places to call home But no matter where it goes there's not a heart to be discovered All the links are porn or, damn, Rick-rolled me, motherfucker And another and another, will the madness ever quit Well you don't have to know the answer if you're able to spell Google, kid With useless vids of stupid shit and pictures that remember That one time, at the place, in that point last December The internet, a retrospect of all of human history Of misery, the books been burned, they lack sufficient imagery Defined by kilobytes of information, oh so bland Your face's an open novel, read your profile in a single glance Digits dance, little ants, proud of the possession Of a creature that gets weaker later on in its progression Well, one day they'll learn their lesson, when their systems are outdated When the graphics start to blur and reality goes pixelated All aboard the vessel, yes, my data train Where data drains the latest pains from horrid scenes to entertain computer screens Morbid fiends, sordid teams, hope you have protection But the firewall's been flooded by the torrents imperfections A collection of deceptions, soon the circuit's going to break Control+alt+delete won't fix the problems that you make These tasks cannot be managed by an inferior intellect Infected by a virus that will leave entire cities wrecked Reconnect, improve the specs, I did that just a day ago But now it seems my processes are tired and they move too slow Weary nodes, dated codes, can't stay with the change of pace You see the signs of aging taking place upon my interface What a waste, files erased, nothing can be done And I can't even type my epitaph, because Word won't even run Marvel of the modern age, but this is no great feat Because it's only been a week and I'm already obsolete

This is conjunction junction (what's your function) To give you cats a little introduction His instructions tell you how to move a block With grammar that makes your schoolhouse rock He's seperate from the flocks and well you see he doesn't fit into herds He might as well become a letter, because he gets along much better with words Revenge of the nerd, made fun of for writing Now you can't wait to hear my latest insights, damn Lost all my empathy, my engine runs on apathy These actors want to play with me, a Shakesperean tragedy Bastards try competing with crap But with the strength of John Henry, can't lose to your mechanical raps No, even if it kills me, that's part of the thrill, see I will be the greatest of the fancy and filthy So dance if you feel me and if you try to steal g This here will be your final tango in Paris This is conjunction junction (what's your function) Alien abductions and earth's destruction He's constructing quazars with lasers from afar Because every point he makes combusts and gives birth to a star Connect them with these bars to build constellations The star shooting, rooting, tooting cowboy spits stellar orations Fathered time with mother's nature, sprung Heliocentrics, see I'm the one who daddied your Sun Just keep revolving, I'll be evovling These thieving fiends, just watch me absolve them Oops, I mean I will dissolve them Sometimes my rhymes get so involving But it's no problem, it's an easy fix Return to outerspace, but paralax will fail your physicists You'll never find me, I've returned to my kind Humans, be prepared for close encounters with his third eye This is conjunction junction (what's your function) Volcanic eruptions, satanic inductions Also known as governmental corruption As I govern mentals that be seeming reluctant Conducts electrons, there's no elections Conduct's so shocking, why re-elect him Don't disrespect him Because if it's supplies he demands, there homelands can't protect them Pre-emptive counterstrikes, we're having a blast And every battle is a war, so be prepared for these drafts You're not going to last, so quit before it's too late Flood jurisdictions with friction when I open up the watergate Please call the pastor, the ambassador Of disaster has no need of diplomacy Lost all their choices, because I stole all their voices And my house will represent only the people who will vote for me

The Pigeons 02:05
Look at these pigeons, flying high, with white wings through smoggy skies Can't see, poor visibility, trying to avoid the flies But still higher they rise, propelled by the lies of those they drop feces on Dropping fecel bombs on feeble pawns Though he's a despicable beast He's not hated the most and I know that may be saying the least But he's caucasion, this here is a pale man's world Sends apologies to crows, but he must keep ascending No limit to his sky's dimension The clock's gears keep spinning, so he threw a wrench in Thinking if only he had had just a bit more time He may have discovered a way to steer through the grime We're all street performers, trapped in this concrete jungle It's survival of the fittest, better spit straight fungle Clipped their wings, layed them to rest on brand new feather pillows Everybody's going green, turning cherry blossoms to weeping willows Wives to weeping widows, his brain storms gates Lightning and rain pours down on crowds Precipitates emotions, thunder's his voice ringing so loud You can hear it even from way up in the clouds Over the sirens and wailing souls That rock diamonds, seeking ice to cool down their coals Because these summers get hot and when the sound meets with heatwaves You'll need more than holy water bottles to be saved Oh how he's slaved to ascend above the flock Still he wears the colors signifying his lot In a lifeless metropolis, bones and skin Flesh wrent with the beak from his closest kin The end is closing in for the worm that he eats But know this, the worm prepares a special treat Bathed itself in poison, sealed the flying ones fate A shame for the early bird, he should have learned how to wait

I'm stargazing, contemplating constellations Trying to do more than simple observations As the Sun lays down to rest in the west Starlight shines down and sets me off on my quest, yes Everytime I see them, how I wish that I could be them I'm a prisoner, whose only fantasy is that of freedom Astranged extraterrestrial, abandoned, alone Without my cell, how on Earth am I supposed to phone home I'm merely a human, cursed, confounded and damned I really hate to admit it, can't deny who I am But Galileo understands He built his divine eye, trying to find God, searching heavenly lands And well, see I am a libra, but my scales are out of balance Because I think I may be wasting all my time and all my talents Because I'm stuck here on this planet, no space shuttle can release me So I look up towards the stars, hoping some day my dreams will reach me I sit back taking shots at the stars I wonder why I can't reach that far (and I tried so damn hard) Stranded on this planet, because gravity's my enemy I'm thinking about how I could move the world with your energy I sit back taking shots at the stars I wonder why I can't reach that far (feels like I'm behind bars) Thinking I'll find happiness somewhere in your silver glow But trapped on this forsaken orb I'll never know Starlight, so bright, first one that I've seen tonight Can't you help me out with your celestial might I searched every rock and stone for a place to call my home Traveled over forty days and forty nights I walked across the desert sands, swam across the seven seas But there's nothing here to please my mind and put my soul at ease Tried making friends, most people they appal me Kind of salty, they still don't know what to call me Leo keeps on taunting me, his roar is loud and proud But the ram and the bull came to charge me from the clouds Virgo's heavenly body tempts me at a glance But the crab and scorpion cut up my hopes as I advanced Gemini, them and I, see we almost got along But then Capricorn attacked me just for looking at him wrong I tried to swim with Pisces in the waves of Aquarius But got shot down by Sagittarius No amount of fortune or fame, could match what I hope to obtain To become one with your flame, but it seems like I won't reach my aim So even though there's nothing to gain I will... I sit back taking shots at the stars I wonder why I can't reach that far (and I tried so damn hard) Stranded on this planet, because gravity's my enemy I'm thinking about how I could move the world with your energy I sit back taking shots at the stars I wonder why I can't reach that far (feels like I'm behind bars) Thinking I'll find happiness somewhere in your silver glow But trapped on this forsaken orb I'll never know Polaris please, Polaris please, can't you hear me beg and plead Asking you to find a way to where I truly wish to be Even if I mastered both astrology, astronomy My brilliance couldn't match one billionth of your luminosity These earthlings gave me acalades as I float adrift But I just can't accept their gifts If I became heavyweight champion, still nothing would be felt Fore there's no prize they could award to outshine Orion's belt I sit back, cursing gravity with every step Trying to find avenues to dive into ethereal depths Hurting but I'm searching, pain pervading in my every breath And I'll use every one that's left I sit back, how I wonder what you really are Thinking should I stop my quest, I feel so weak and scarred But I traveled so long and came so far That you can bet that I'll be out and shooting stars tomorrow

Blackwolf They must not know what they mean, I guess they talk in their sleep When they tell me that their talk is cheap Cut, print and roll the sheet, I'm trying to keep from it tonight Too many things in my grasp, I can see them in sight But there fading fasting, already getting weary As my vision's getting thinner, as my eyelids near Even before the pillow hits the head, already feeling brainded and groggy I'm a man of passions, I never had a hobby No time for friends, no time for zen Ways of coping with stress, Just time to work and regret As burn these bones of mine, in their skins made of twine As I wait for it all to unwind in my mind And sandman, please forgive me for the thievery But why must each night be another empty tragedy This body of mine, howling and mad at me For keeping it underfed, abused and raggedy Never had a use for flattery, but it had to be half past three That'll be the time that I get an idea Gotta write it down, gotta see her out Because this beat sounds barren and it's six thirty-six And I've been sitting in a basement staring at an ink-stained hand Unaware that I've been in a chair with a pen Sharing my gin with the page and the ink it had smeared, all the words were erased And I had to go to work, but I had stayed up just in case Any of the lyrics would return to that place The only words I could find were what a waste, what a waste And I look on my tongue for a touch, just a taste Of word fragments and Seagrams I had work and an aspirin, with that I had to leave them So I brushed my teeth, wiped the last trace of ink off my face For a moment I'm fine, until I picture the empty blue paper lines M.d. Psyco Analyst Dawn shatters, broken matter scatters across the landscape It's half past eight, damn, I'm already late Gepeto doesn't like his marrionettes being tardy And if he cuts my strings, that's the end of the party Then I can't afford the castle, can't pay for the chariot Can't afford to travel and see my lady maid Marion It's scary when you realize it could all fall apart There is no ending in sight, traveled too far from the start So there is no turning back now, gotta make progress Trying to avoid more delays and nonsense Ran out the door and ran back for my phone And then I ran out once more, forgot to lock up my home Third time's the charm Fuck, I slipped, tripped, fell, ripped my pants, scraped the shit out my arm Jesus Christ, please forgive me for the blasphemy But why must every morning have to be a fucking battle, we Combating with the cattle over a shinier sattle Simply rattled by the dazzle, leaves you razzled The end to the means that had once been my dreams I guess that means that in the end my dreams were addled Bit by the dog, as I exit the gates Cursing the wicked fates that keep me irrate Then wade through the rapids of the river of sticks My wallet fell out my pocket, I couldn't pay that bus-driving bitch How I wish for the days of the past, when I was a child with infinite possibilities Taking the red pill, free from the system at last I'm just a digit, pushing pencils oh so diligently He willingly traded his freedom for security It's killing me, lost all my passions to maturity Villainy swindled me out of my gold and jewels Fantasies of grandeur, the hallmark of a fool Sorry silly rabbit, dreams are for kids Grown ups should grow up, the treats were just a trick Welcome to the real world, a miserable play Copy and paste, tomorrow will look just like today

Allow me to introduce myself, I come from humble beginnings Columbus landed the pilgrims and then claimed me for his winnings So I set up a colony, to the natives I played missionary Killed natives, revolution, blah, blah, blah, the rest is history Now I'm America, the lords gift to man I've been sent here to do the things that your nation can't Youngest of the litter, but don't let that fool you I'd probably rule your country if I want to But I'm a nice guy, try to clean everyone else's mess Because remember, you can't spell justice without U-S Think it's ridiculous, but if I ridicule less How do you expect me to proclaim to be the best Your countries can't contest and if you even try Let's just say that you and Humpty Dumpty will have much in common I'm kind of like Robin Hood, take from the poor and give to the rich Wait, I mean I like hood robbing The land of the free, home of the brave Land of equality, built upon the backs of the slaves Home to applepie, baseball, the A-bomb You'll see a bomb if you even think I'm wrong (America) better than these other nations Taking control of all locations Evil-doers beware of the things you do You can't excape red, white and blue You know why, I am America The greatest place on Earth Endowed with superpowers to rescue those of lesser worth These third world countries and their third class citizens I'm here to help them climb the social ladder and be better men With freedom of choice (yea, the freedom to choose my way) Freedom of voice (as long as it's what I would say) You want the most results, for the littlest amount of money in the smallest amount of time I'll give you the best of the best for only $19.99 (plus shipping and handling) Act now, hurry and pick up the phone You can get everything you want right from the comfort of home What, somebody's protesting, mad at what I promote Just ignore them, I mean, what's the worst they can do vote (constitution) Did someone say constitution What right does a crusty, old piece of paper have to tell me what it think I'm supposed to be doing Sure they're the rule that my fore-fathers have spoken But don't you know that old saying that rules are meant to be broken The land of the free, home of the brave Land of equality, built upon the backs of the slaves Home to applepie, baseball, the A-bomb You'll see a bomb if you even think I'm wrong (America) better than these other nations Taking control of all locations Evil-doers beware of the things you do You can't excape red, white and blue You know why, I am America Oh say can you see bombs bursting in air The rocket's red glare doesn't know who to spare America the beautiful, for spacious skies You can barely see the pollution with your naked eyes But that's an inconvenient truth, we won't go there A nation of immigrants that hate immigrants, it seems fair Plenty of self-righteous indulgence for young and the old folks And equal rights for all, unless you are a homo Oh no, looks like I'm nearly out of time I see another foreign country trying to commit a crime I can't allow that, who do they think they are Making progress without my permission, that's taking it too far The battle's just begun, the war has not been won But trust me, I'ma keep fighting until there's no more fighting to be done I know it may not always be just, my actions disgust Follow the Devil's path, but in God I trust
