The Greater Good |
How about we go in search of newland
Where there’s no pleasure or pain
How about we go and found a new state
Wherefrom we cannot escape
How about no neighbours and no friends
No anthem, no government
What about no leaders and no nations
No birds of prey up in the air
How about we go in search of newland
Where there’s no purpose or aim
How about we go and find a new road
Why must we live so afraid
We know that we won’t find the cure to cancеr, to ignorance
How about no thoughts and no prayers
No right or wrong, no good or bad
Will we gеt to live and see the new day
What have we done, we ran out of space
What to do if someone’s taken over our fortune and fame
We know that many others might have made it
We know the cost, the price to pay
We’re nothing but the sand that fills the cracks
A soul in denial, a body ashamed
All around the world and the seven seas
Crowds of people keep closing in
Oh! When to hold, when to let go
The greater good not good enough
All around the world and the seven seas
Crowds of people keep closing in
Oh! When to hold, when to let go
The greater good not good enough
For all of us

Common Prayers |
So close to me, as tight as you can be
Inside the cell
The voice within, the desert wind
Calls out our name
So close, so close
So, let me be and keep you company
Inside the gate
Behind the veil, the quarantine
Against myself
So strong, so strong
You are a common prayer
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Say the common prayers
So, lock the door, I'll keep the key
Upon my chest
The time has comе to born again
And test our faith
Just let me in thе sanctuary
Inside the grave
The broken beads, the rosary
Against our will
You are a common prayer
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
You are a common prayer
Living life afraid
You have the heart of a saint
And an angel's face
Say the common prayers

All or Nothing |
The signs are here, the end is near
A lot to think about
Walk through the door, that will be all
We're closing down
Come on and let us go, all hope is gone
Life is a feast, all you can eat
Every night and day
Our job is done, we brought you joy
Every now and then
Inside the wheel another turn
Around the sun
Pick up the bill, it's time to go
We're leaving town
Move on and let us go, all hope is lost
Our job is done, we brought you joy
Every now and then
Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
It's now or never
Life is a game you cannot win
You just have to play
Our job is done, we brought you joy
Every now and then
Buy the time, oh! Clear the space
It's all or nothing
It's now or never

Hermitage |
One thing's for sure, for everyone
One thing’s for sure, whatever may
Such big machines that man have made
To darken the clouds and control the rain
All our worth, giveth away
All our worth amounts to nothing
Every word, all we say
All our words they count for nothing
No new positions to greet the sun
No magic rides on a yoga mat
No time to cry, to make things right
It's human nature, don't be afraid
All our worth, giveth away
All our worth amounts to nothing
Every word, all we say
All our words they count for nothing

Entitlement |
In the circle of life and sin
On this day of apocalypse
On our way to hermitage
It's the return to innocence
At the mercy of time and space
On this day we must repent
On our way to hermitage
We observe the sacrifice
Raise your hands up to the skies
On we march to hermitage
Empty hands, hollow eyes
On we march to hermitage
A bloody feather in the red lion's mane
The olive branch in thе eagle's beak

The Hermit Saints |
Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints
Oh, hear them call, from hell on earth
Oh, hear them call, from nature's dome
From far beyond, oh hear them call
Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints
Silence is broken, thе knot is too tight
The desert compеls me to do what is right
Oh, hear them call, from skies above
From down below, oh hear them call
Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right
Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints
Oh, hear them call! behold the hermit saints

Apophthegmata |
The future's so near
Away from the past
Time to let it happen
The torch in your hand
The desert's so vast
That you must find your place
To hide from the crowds
Find peace without end
A house with no windows
No light breaking in
A house built just for one
Away from the sun
Hear the word, oh! Let it burn
Take me home and hold me as we fall
Keep me safe from harm
So long ago, not far away, upon an altar of dirt
Oh! Hear the voices, let them burn!
There's nothing new under the sun
All that he built, his kingdom of truth
Watch it turn to dust, his masterwork
So long ago, not far away, upon an altar of dirt
Oh! Hear the voices, let them burn!
There's nothing new under the sun
Apophthegmata

Without Rule |
When all the world has gone insane
The men, the beasts, every living thing
At the top of the trees, at the bottom of the pyramid
A face in the crowd, trying to exist
We paid too much significance to things
We spread enough intolerance it seems
Now that everything has lost its taste
The food, the water hanging by a thread
We had our chance, but gave in too easily
Under the sun, trying to resist
We paid too much significance to things
We spread enough intolerance it seems
At the speed of light, we move away
When all the world has gone insane
Never too close, never too far
Without rule we are

Darkness in Paradise |
I'm standing here in silence
This graceful place of peace
Watching the shadows come closer
The birds they sing no longer
The winds they blow no more
With fear of death
I'm waiting for the night to fall
The sun will set forever
One after one the stars they die
The rainbow has turned to black
Darkness has fallen in paradise
Love is lost in memories
All beauty and all light
Have vanished from the
Garden of delight
The Devil and his gift
The heart he stole away
But innocence was lost long ago
The morning will come no more
Our dreams are all gone
Midnight has come to stay
Darkness has fallen in paradise
Oh father please forgive us
Forgive us all our sins
Please bring your light
Again to lead our…

The Great Leap Forward |
So you want to die for a cause
You want to follow your call
One step head from the pack
The great leap forward
Now your body shaken and hurt
Your name was called from above
You've been degraded to dust
Left to your own demise
Afraid to be no more
No you won't be saving the world
All has been tried before
By better people than us
The great leap forward
Left to our own demise
Slaves by our own design
Afraid no more
no, no place to put up your show
No crowd is left to be won
No battle still to be fought
The great Leap Forward
Afraid to be no more
