Angels And Daemons At Play


SIDEWAY SPIRAL I

Head over heels in a sideway spiral
on borrowed wings and with senses so idle
high on the hopes ‘fore the chemical wedding
the promised state in the perfect setting
praying to the beat-craving to be real
I’m right (x3),I’m wrong

so he said ‘cause so he’d read
and your delusions are mine instead
convincing smiles will feed the mind
a curse put on those left behind
your wizzard’s out on bail-the perfect trip’s on sale
I’m right (x3),I’m wrong

Spinning ‘round
sideways down
spinning ‘round....

when concentration comes at last
make shure to blame the highest caste
from way out in the skies
that made you realise.....

WALKING ON THE WATER	

 Walking on the water 
I saw shadows you’d caressed
filling me with urgency
you promised me the best

but you lied,yes you lied
now I can never trust that feeling
‘cause you lied to me

In glimpses it reveals itself
beyond me every time
you said you’d show me,lead me there
turn water into wine

but you lied.....etc

I see myself as you do now
I’d laugh too if I could
once again the joke’s on me
like I somehow knew it would

 ‘cause you lied.....etc                                         

walking on the water I saw shadows you’d caressed....

HEARTATTACK MAC

He had a heart-attack,Mac 
they shot him full of smack
he overdosed ‘fore he understood
anything at all

they forgot before long
put their black righteous cloaks back on
they never cared about anything
anything at all (X3)


they called it rat poison suicide
and put his ashes in a jar
without name or number
and no remorse at all

with a mouth full of psychodorm
the herd sticks to their guards
and their factory routine
in anything and all (X3)
