For those about to die here Lighten up And those into survival Frighten us… Damn this one horse rider… Man traps for stricter diners Trip me up Laid back with sunday drivers Touching us Damn this one horse rider… Under belly of our Godiva Climbing up Watch the Trojan climb inside her Wish me luck!… Damn this one horse rider… Damn this one horse rider… Step inside Step inside her… Wish me luck…

The English maid was cleaning The halos I’d been stealing The poor girl was uncertain She hid behind the curtain There’s something in the snakepit! I waited up all evening For a bird with wings of steel While scraping innuendo From the sniper in your window There’s something in the snakepit! The man behind the camera Is climbing up the mountain He may be your necessity He captures possibility There’s something in the snakepit!

Convalesce and contact - Come to me Convuluted contract - Come to me Conquest and firefight - Come to me See how we kneel to the Mercy Machine. See how we kneel, How our conscience is cleared, Come - make your deal, With the Mercy Machine. Concrete and conceal - Come to me Unconditional conscience - Come to me Conscript and conflict - Come to me Hear how we scream at the Mercy Machine. See how we kneel, How our conscience is cleared, Come - make your deal, With the Mercy Machine. Consume and confess - Come to me Conclusive conduct - Come to me Control and condemn - Come to me See how we bleed with the Mercy Machine. See how we kneel, How our conscience is cleared, Come - make your deal, With the Mercy Machine. Kneel, kneel, kneel To the Mercy Machine.

I'll take you by the hand and make you one And leave you by the river when I'm done And walk across the water to the sun… Two Gods… Bet on Two Gods I'm naked and I'm hungry in my room I'm tearing arms from deities for fun This hell is like a holiday, with guns… Two Gods Bet on two Gods I'll bring a little magic to your room And pass to the assassin who has none He's taking out the tyrant, for his son Two Gods Bet on Two Gods Two Gods Are better than one…

Long distance information - calling me And even reputations – question me Bring me the ego id… Bring me the ego id… This saint is impatient – and wasted And lost in translation – of his deeds Bring me the ego id… Bring me the ego id… The divine translator – is persuading Relying on frustration – and guarantees Bring me the ego id… Bring me the ego id… Bring me the ego ideal…

Psycho Analysts, and Jailers In-confidantes and traitors and all the feminists, in halos All entertain you The Great Derailer Alpha male manipulators Denizens of our dictators all the puppets and spectators All entertain you The Great Derailer All our Gods and imitators Inconsequential traders and all the trained infiltrators All entertain you The Great Derailer

Sometimes I find I re-assemble my mind To accept the design Of my kitchen tonight Took a part time lover Like Dante's brother Heaven help us… Sometimes i'm kind To acquaintance of mine It's getting hard to decide If my kitchen is right Took a part time lover Like Dante's brother Heaven help us… Sometimes I'm blind And my hands are so tied To the walls that I climb In my kitchen tonight Took a part time lover Like Dante's brother Heaven help us…

Met your devil, on the D-train, you know americans… Lost a child to the raven, getting well again?… I fear, I fear Logic is the lover of men… And fear Fear is the mother of pain. Or the Raven… Beloved.... lay you down and rest in peace Ignis spiritus Ignis caritatis
