Cruel World
The rust in my joints
And the dust in my veins
Makes me splutter and cough
Makes me buckle and sway
My old leather heart is still pumping away
You toil and strive
To keep yourself alive
You sweat and bleed
To get the things you need
The pain you feel
Is far too fucking real
And don't get what you deserve
'Cos it's a cruel cruel world
The dirt on my skin
And the stain on my soul
Make me look like a man
Who is ready to fall

Humans
I, heard the news today
Nothing good to say
Just humans killing humans
Good news, has all but gone away
Darkness is here to stay
Gonna throw my TV away
I just want to fly
To soar high
And leave this disease behind of
Humans killing humans
People, always disappoint
And then to prove a point
Human will kill humans
History, tells us things aint gonna change
No point in trying to pretend
We're all humans in the end
Dark propaganda does no good
Mayhem and murder
Buckets of blood
Liable, scandal
Fallen stars
It deadens your faith
Tears at your heart
Deadens your faith and tears out your heart

Vesuvius
I feel my heart beat quicken, when we meet
And our blood will thicken, as we raise the heat
Like a wild animal that cannot sleep
There’s no way that you can keep
Control of
Vesuvius, what have we done
Vesuvius, what have we begun
Burning out of control, makes no sense at all
In the heat our bodies writhe, can we survive?
Like a predator that cannot sleep
There’s no way that you can keep
Control of
Dance, dance, dance in the fiery rain
Vesuvius, what have we done

Nelson Drive
At the cross roads
Is a wooden shack
With a tarmac yard
And a field out back
Miss Campbell
Red hair and lipstick
Head teacher
Gaffer Green
And a girl with one eye lived in Nelson drive
Waiting for the bus
In my coat and hat
Keen to get my seat
The sea t at the back
With the passing time
It seems to my mind
They're not really so grand
They're just like you and I
Everything fades with time
Everything fades with time
Miss Campbell is old
She still has red hair
She goes to church
Plays the organ there
That drunk picking up chips
He's dropped on the floor
It's Gaffer Green,
Not Head teacher any more
And a woman with one eye lives in Nelson drive

Gravedigger
I'm a grave digger
With my head down digging away
I've been digging all my life and a day
I've been working away like an insect slave
Digging away constructing my insect grave
I look around and see others just like me
And piles of earth as far as I can see
I'm a grave digger
Digging away here in my hole
Shuffling around like a little mole
It’s hard work digging in a world of shifting sand
But I'm highly evolved I've got shovels for hand
Then I saw it in a dream
I saw hundreds
Then thousands
Then millions… Digging away
Just like me!... Digging away

Depths of Hell
Won't you come and visit me
Down here in the depths of hell
We’re two doors down from purgatory
Down here in the depths of hell
If you want redemption you have the Devil to pay (they say)
If you want salvation you have the Devil to pay (they say)
(they say) Forgiveness
(they say) Absolution
Bring all your sins, it’ll be divine
Down here in the depths of hell
And we can have the devil of a time
Down here in the depths of hell
I do believe your angels wings are melting
It's a little warm tonight
Down here in the depths of hell
The furnaces are burning bright

The Path of Righteousness and True Holiness
The rush of adrenalin coursing through my veins
My heartbeat thumping in my ears
My hands shake
My legs are weak
I force myself on regardless
My mouth is dry
The world slows down
It’s like I have super powers
Tunnel vision now
Only what's ahead matters
My doom

Acceptance with Grace

Acceptance with Grace
The promise of oblivion
Comes with the loss of hope
At the bottom of a bottle
At the end of a rope
Take it easy on yourself she says
You're an emotional disaster
When your heart rules your head
Take it easy on yourself
When things look at their darkest
Search for acceptance with grace
Always looking forward
Never looking back
Because over my shoulder
Is the deepest darkest black
Oblivion my secret friend
I need to dance with you again

Throw Away Man
I'm a throw away man
In a throw away world
Thought I was a modern man
For a modern world
I've been battered and bruised
Kicked while I'm down
I've been down in the dirt
But now I'm coming around
I've got to dust myself down
Harden my heart
Gotta pick myself up
Make a new start
An honest man
In a dishonest world
A trusting man
In a devious world
I've been down on my luck
Made to look like a fool
Had my heart ripped out
Vicious and cruel
Been in a dark dark place
Imprisoned by grief
Scarred my soul
Shook my belief
A broken man
In a broken world
A gullible man
In a ruthless world
An emotional man
In a bitter world
A simple man
In a complex world
