1. "Freak"
He rides the wave, a spiral slave
The prince of darkness plays his games
You're hypnotized under velvet skies
He breathes the red wind across your eyes
WHO LEADS YOU TO THE DARK SECRET
WHO LEADS YOU TO THE DARK SECRET
Your life is lost, your soul is ******
But it feels too good to make a stand
Bad is bad, but this is worse
Let judgement come, you love this curse
When you look at man, you're like a god
Swimming in the tide of life, somersault into the flood
Washes you away
WHO LEADS YOU TO THE DARK SECRET
WHO LEADS YOU TO THE DARK SECRET
Who is your mistress, who leads you to the dark secret
Who is your mistress, who leads you to the dark secret
Who is your mistress, who leads you to the dark secret
Who is your mistress, who leads you to the dark secret
Who is your mistress, who leads you to the dark secret
Who is your mistress, who leads you to the dark secret
WHO LEADS YOU TO THE DARK SECRET
WHO LEADS YOU TO THE DARK SECRET
2. "Toltec 7 Arrival"
I mean you no harm
Come closer, learn the truth
Come closer, learn the truth
Come...
Bless me, mother, for I have sinned
3. "Starchildren"
I came for nothing before nothing began
Broke the window of existance
And became a man
No sympathy for fools
My star is black and burnt
I tilt towards the light
I suck your souls into my might
We are starchildren
Coming out of nowhere
And to nowhere return
Starchildren
A hundred million souls
Snuffed out in one breath
I shiver at the threshold
Of your waking hour
The knowledge that you seek is
My source of power
I live apart from you
But I know the things you do
No Angel can save you
How?
You don't need a God
'Cause I'm here now
I'm starchildren
Coming out of nowhere
And to nowhere return
Starchildren
A hundred million souls
Snuffed out in one breath
Do I fulfill your deepest need
For prophecy?
I am the ruler that you seek
So come to me
Come to me
We are starchildren
Coming out of nowhere
And to nowhere return
Starchildren
A hundred million souls
Snuffed out in one breath
Starchildren
I'm the ruler of existence
In your space and time
Starchildren
To penetrate your future
Is my only crime
Star
4. "Taking the Queen"
Who stole your heartbeat in the night?
The acolytes fearful in the flickering light
They hold a mirror, to catch the breath from your mouth
But your breath was stolen, by the wind from the south
Another winter tale is done, your immortal lover - he's gone
The chalice stolen from her hand, eternal life at her command
Now all that she rules, must sleep...
The howling shriek of death in your eyes
The hawklord and the beast, enter your room
The gold will turn to rust
Your empire follows you, into your tomb
The wraiths of night caress
And whisper softly now, "We are the dead."
They bear your life away, they tear your heart in two
They've taken the queen
To some better place, so they think, as the flame burns low
Now the flame burns higher and it purifies the love that died
A stone rolls closed on a life
Back to the earth, sealing the tomb
Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood
Who summons us now from our graves?
"We are the dead."
The shriek of death in your eyes, the hawklord and the beast
Enter your room
The wraiths of night caress, and whisper softly now
"We are the dead."
They bear your life away, they tear your heart in two
They've taken the queen...
5. "Darkside of Aquarius"
The first Hellrider came
On wings of plenty in the dark
Poured out his poison
And he blew away his mark
The fascist from the east is coming
Mothers, hide your sons
The second Hellrider came
From flaming seas and molten sands
Pipers playing ****'s commands
Poured out his poison
With promises of promised lands
Blackened tongues of lying leaders
Here come the riders
As the wheel of dharma's running out of time
Here come the riders
As the wheel of time's running out of time
The third Hellrider came
Teaching brothers to kill brother men
And the fourth Hellrider waits
On an acid trip for an acid world
Wars of old religious fools
And superstitious men
Throw some scary tarrot cards and
Here come the riders
As the wheel of dharma's running out of time
Here come the riders
As the revolution's stepping out of line
The Darkside of Aquarius
Has robbed us of our souls and minds
Here come the riders
As the wheel of dharma's running out of time
From the starlit sky on a silver sea
A lonely silver surfer
Comes to push the wheel for me
A lonely silver surfer
Comes to push the wheel for me...
Gotta move
Gotta move
Gotta move that wheel right round
GOTTA MOVE!
GOTTA MOVE!
GOTTA MOVE THAT WHEEL RIGHT ROUND!
GOTTA MOVE!
GOTTA MOVE!
GOTTA MOVE THAT WHEEL AROUND!
Gotta push the wheel of dharma round
Push the wheel of dharma round
Push the wheel of dharma round
Push the, push right round, right now
I've gotta move the wheel of dharma
Gotta move the wheel of dharma
Gotta move the wheel of dharma
Move that wheel right around
Gotta move the wheel of dharma
Gotta move the wheel of dharma, now
6. "Road To ****"
Slowly bleeding
Watch the fortex feeding
Like a swirling vulture on your face
Every hour, the unseen rays devour
Your screaming eyes cry out
But they are blind
Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails
I'll hammer them in
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Down the left hand highway
With no sinister regrets
Brave new world of secret fantasy
That hovers just beyond
Your bloody grasp
Close enough to thrill
The danger of the kill
Price for failure of your will
Father, forgive us our sins
'Cause we're all the junkies
Who never can win
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Down the left hand highway
With no sinister regrets
Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails
I'll hammer them in
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Parody of hope is the one that I must kill
We all have to live
With our family inventions
Down the left hand highway
With no sinister regrets
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to **** is full of good intentions
Down the left hand highway
With no sinister regrets
7. "Man of Sorrows"
Here in a church
A small boy is kneeling
He prays to a God
He does not know
He cannot feel
All of his sins
Of childhood
He will remember
He will not cry
Tears he will not cry...
Man of Sorrows
I won't see your face
Man of Sorrows
You left without a trace
His small boy wonders
What was it all about?
Is your journey over?
Has it just begun?
The vision of a new world
From the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt"
He screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer
A prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why
Wondering why...
Man of Sorrows
I won't see your face
Man of Sorrows
You left without a trace
His small boy wonders
What was it all about?
Is your journey over?
Has it just begun?
A Man of Sorrows wracked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body
Made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life
"I HATE MYSELF!" he cries
"Do what thou wilt
Do what thou wilt!" he cries
Man of Sorrows
I won't see your face
Man of Sorrows
You left without a trace
His small boy wonders
What was it all about?
Is your journey over?
Has it just begun?
Man of Sorrows
I won't see your face
Man of Sorrows
You left without a trace
His small boy wonders
What was it all about?
Is your journey over?
Has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
8. "Accident of Birth"
Journey back to the dark side
Back into the womb
Back to where the spirits move
Like vapor from the tomb
The center of the cyclone
Blowing out the sun
Break the shackles of your union
To the light
I might've had a brother
As I was born, they dragged him under
To the other side of twilight
He's waiting for me now
Nativity was lost on me
I didn't ask, I couldn't see
What created me
What and where and how
Welcome home
It's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home
We've opened up the gates
Welcome home
To your brothers and sisters
Welcome home
To an Accident of Birth
Feel our bodies breathing
As you try to stop believing
There's nothing you can do
About your shadows
You can fight as you are like us
And your body will betray you
Lay down and die like all the others
Where are the Angels and
Their wings of freedom?
Jesus had his day off
When they pulled you through
Welcome home
It's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home
We've opened up the gates
Welcome home
To your brothers and sisters
Welcome home
To an Accident of Birth
To an Accident of Birth
Visions growing dim
As the daylight fades away
A spinning, twisting black hole
It's your dying day
Welcome home
It's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home
We've opened up the gates
Welcome home
To your brothers and sisters
Welcome home
To an Accident of Birth
Welcome home
It's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home
We've opened up the gates
Welcome home
To your brothers and sisters
Welcome home
To an Accident of Birth
9. "The Magician"
I am the teacher, come to reach ya, take the old ways back to you
You were lost, but I found you, and it's your choice what to do
I've learned a few things as I traveled through the years
Through the door of evermore
I came through fire, came through water, through the oily serpent's kiss
Climbed the mountain, chased the dragons, thrown myself in the abyss
Do I make myself familiar to you now?
'Cause I've been around you, and I'm glad I found you
I am the living flame and I teach the holy games
Teach the secret of the dance, throw the future in the runes
Kick the sand in Satan's face, I'll put Jesus in his place
Shaman or priest, it's all the same
The magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, the magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, the magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, the magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, and magic is my game
Now I know you and you know me, we have secrets we can share
We can build a new tomorrow, from the trash of yesterday
It won't be the last time, and I'm glad I found you
I am the living flame and I teach the holy games
Teach the secret of the dance, throw the future in the runes
Kick the sand in Satan's face, I'll put Jesus in his place
Shaman or priest, it's all the same
The magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, the magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, the magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, the magician is my name
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, and magic is my game
10. "Welcome To The Pit"
You come on down to the pit
Come on down to where the vipers spit
I've been waiting for you down here
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
I'll bring you back from the brink
Are you surprised in every way that you like it?
Are you surprised that you want it?
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
Back to back, you ride the snake
You feel it strike, you feel it bite ya
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your eyes with the wicked tongue of silence
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games, welcome to the hard place
I don't even know your name, you won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Now you feel the hard, the hard...place...
11. "Omega"
The ashes drift away
Smoke of our confusion
We turn our frightened faces
To each other, say goodbye
Waited for the sign
Waited for the moment
Waited for the miracle to arrive
I guess the lied
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
The others, they have gone
Who wants to live forever?
With nothing left to hold onto the past
The we once knew
We believed in Heaven
We believed in Angels
With arms of purest white
To hold us, catch us when we fall
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Now look at your burning sky
Now it's Omega Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Take a look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Now it's Omega Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Now it's Omega Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
12. "Arc of Space"
There on a lonely desert hilltop
The pilgrims huddle closer
Waiting for the sign
The coming silver shrine
The arc of space and time
Truth, the truth is never clear
Perhaps again next year
The hope lives on
Beneath the blazing sun
One day you'll come
In my heart, I reach you
In my heart, I reach out to you
In my heart, I touch the face of God
In my dreams somehow
In my heart, I reach you
In my heart, I reach out to you
In my heart, I touch the face of God
It's all a dream
In my heart, I reach you
In my heart, I reach out to you
In my heart, I touch the face of God
It's all a dream somehow
Truth, the truth is never clear
Perhaps again next year
The hope lives on
Beneath the blazing sun
One day you'll come.
