DISORDER

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man
New sensations barely interest me for another day
I've go the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again
I'm watching you, I'm watching her - I take no pity from your friends
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now
Until the spirit, new sensation takes hold - then you know --
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, feeling, feeling --

DAY OF THE LORDS

This is the room, the start of it all
No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall
I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where will it end? --
These are your friends, from childhood through youth
Who goaded you on, demanded full proof
Withdrawal pain's hard, it can do you right in
So distorted and thin, distorted and thin
Where will it end? --
This is the car at the edge of the road
There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed
I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat
There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak
Where will it end? --
This is the room, the start of it all
Through childhood, through youth, I remember it all
I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained
Where will it end? --


CANDIDATE

Forced by the pressure, the territory's marked
No longer the pleasure, I've since lost the heart
Corrupted from memory, no longer the power
It's creeping up slowly, that last fatal hour
Oh I don't know what made me, what gave me the right
To mess with your values and change wrong to right
Please keep your distance - the trail leads to here,
There's blood on your fingers, brought on by fear
I campaigned for nothing, I worked hard for this
I tried to get to you - you treat me like this
It's just second nature, it's what we've been shown
We're living by your rules, that's all that we know
I tried to get to you - Oh how I tried to get to you


Insight

Guess the dreams always end - they don't rise up just descend
But I don't care anymore - I've lost the will to want more
I'm not afraid, not at all - I watch them all as they fall
But I remember when we were young
Those with habits of waste - their sense of style and good taste
Of making sure you were right - hey, don't you know you were right?
I'm not afraid anymore - I keep my eyes on the door
But I remember --
Tears of sadness for you - more upheaval for you
Reflects a moment in time - a special moment in time
Yeah, we wasted our time - we didn't really have time
But we remember when we were young
And all God's angels beware - and all you judges beware
Sons of chance take good care - for all the people out there
I'm not afraid anymore - I'm not afraid anymore


NEW DAWN FADES

A change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still occupied, though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made - I took the blame
Directionless, so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free - so you say
We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much, can't take much more
Oh I've walked on water, run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me-ee, waiting for me
Hoping for something more
Me-ee, seeing me this time
Hoping for something else


SHES LOST CONTROL

Confusion in her eyes that says it all - she's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by - she's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said: I've lost control again.
And of a voice that told her when and where to act
She said: I've lost control again.
And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said: I've lost control again
And how I'll never know just why or understand she said: I've lost control
again
And she screamed out, kicking on her side and said: I've lost control again
And seized up on the floor - I thought she'd die
She said: I've lost control
She's lost control again - she's lost control --
Well I had to phone her friend to state her case and say she's lost control
again
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes and said: I've lost control again
But she expressed herself in many different ways until she lost control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape and laughed: I've lost control
She's lost control again - she's lost control --

The following additional verse appears on the 12" single

I could live a little better with the myths and the lies
When the darkness broke in I just broke down and cried
I could live a little in a wider line
When the change is gone - when the urge is gone
To lose control
When here we come


SHADOWPLAY

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies, made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you


WILDERNESS

I travelled far and wide through many different times
What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys
What did you see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed
I travelled far and wide to prisons of the cross
What did you see there? The power and glory of sin
What did you see there? The blood of Christ on their skins
I travelled far and wide where unknown martyrs died
What did you see there? I saw the one-sided trials
What did you see there? I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes --


INTERZONE

The second "voice" [in brackets below] was added in the later version
I walked through the city limits
[Someone took me in to do it]
Attracted by some force within it
[Had to close my eyes to get get close to it]
Around the corner where a prophet lay
[Saw the place where she'd a room to stay]
A wire fence where children play
[Saw the bed where the body lay]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
[And I had no time to waste]
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
The car screeched - hear the sound on dust
[Heard a noise - just a car outside]
Metallic blue turned red with rust
[Pulled in close by the building's side]
In a group all forgotten youth
[Had to think, collect my senses now]
Turned on to a night with you
[Find some place where my friends don't go]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
[And I had no time to waste]
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine
Down the dark streets [Getting darker now]
The houses looked the same [Faces look the same]
And I walked round and round [No stomach, torn apart]
Nail me to a train [Had to think again]
Trying to find a clue [Trying to move away]
Trying to find a way to get out [Had to move away and keep out]
Four, twelve windows, ten in a row
[Behind a wall I looked down low]
The lights shine like a neon show
[Inserted deep felt a warmer glow]
No place to stop, no place to go
[No time to lose, had to keep on going]
I guess they died some time ago
[I guess they died some time ago]
And I was looking for a friend of mine
[And I had no time to waste]
Yeah, looking for some friends of mine


I REMEMBER NOTHING

We were strangers - we were strangers, for way too long
Violent violent, were strangers
Get weak all the time - we just pass the time
Me in my own world - yeah you there beside
The gaps are enormous - we stare from each side
We were strangers, for way too long
Violent, more violent his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon
Me in my own world, the one that you knew
We were strangers - for way too long --
