Inhale
Exhale
The world is spinning.
Or is it just me?
The walls are writhing
Is this what God sees?
The shadows are twisting
I was alone, wasn't I?
Inhale
Exhale
I seem to be adrift
Above lands of velvet
And oceans of honey
I am profoundly aware
Yet my thoughts are distant
And they all scurry away
Inhale
Exhale
What is this strange force?
This strand of golden hair?
It beckons, yet does not pull
It calls, but does not shout
I take it and climb
I climb into the twilight

Beautiful voices

Five beautiful voices
Speaking in unison
"Mortal they are everywhere!
The government, you must beware!
They seek to warn and ensnare!
The death of man, you mustn't despair!"
"What are you saying, I don't understand"
"To warm your planet, is their aim!
Your world rainy and aflame!
The race of man has gone tame!
You mustn't fall for their game!"
"Who are 'they'? You must show me"
I awake with a screaming start
My sweat pouring like rain
Running to the bathroom
The water cleansing my dreams
But in the mirror I see a shifting face
I my own, and that of strangers
Finally they converge, and I understand
The lizard I see staring back, is me

Lizard things
03:01

the humans are no kings
the lizards sing
the humans are no kings
they are lizard things
the great lizard cult
expecting murderous result
the humans know nothing
they are far too trusting
the humans are no kings
the lizards sing
the humans are no kings
they are lizard things
and what of me?
am I a so-called flea?
would they hear my plead?
must I now flee?
the humans are no kings
the lizards sing
the humans are no kings
they are lizard things
But I am not a man
Was I a part of this plan?
Why was i not told
What the future would hold?
the humans are no kings
the lizards sing
the humans are no kings
they are lizard things
Yet am I still a man?
or is this a big scam
this is not my skin
I can't let them win

Mans abattoir
02:50
|

Darkened corridor valley
Daunting cubicles
Driven by mindless machinery
This alluring scent
In my dreamery
Chains, and collars
Endless hollows
Conveyor belts galore
This alluring scent
In my dreamery
Nothing to stop me
A white box, pipes entering
Grooves on the floor
Fragrance's source
This alluring scent
In my dreamery
Man's abattoir
How did it get this far?

Nuclear organ of power
02:43

nuclear organ of power
before me it lies
great complex of towers
governed by spies
I slither inside
within the reactor I am smashing
what I think the power is stashing
guards are coming
horns are blaring
lights are flashing
within the reactor I am smashing
what I think the power is stashing
guards are here
horns are silent
lights are dark
this could be my hour
they have no lizard's eyes
yet before them i cower
did i hinder evil's rise?
now humans won't be fried

We have won
03:24
|
|||
|
thinking i am on their side
the lizards have taken me
placed into a line of their kind
confused as we clap and wave
we are beholding a projection
a grid laid over the planet
a single unblinking black dot
in a sea of flashing red light
on the screen, above the earth
in big bold text, "we have won"

Lizard Scales
02:18

i have never been in lizard's scales,
never believed the insane tales
i am a human through and through
and now i know a lizard too
i have now witnessed their scheme,
heard the last of my kin's screams
i am a pest you cannot quell
is this my place in hell?
i have found their crimson feast,
i was too late we were deceased
i have to confess in pain
i failed and now the lizards reign
i am a human through and through
and now i am a lizard too
to all of us goes my lament
this is how you too could end
i am a human through and through
