LYRICS
Waiting with baited breath
We try to narrow the width… the breadth
We’re waiting in anticipation

Time and space alienation
As we close the gap
Even if it’s required to run the extra lap
You know that you can break through
You know it’s something you can do
And, I’m waiting with anticipation

The strangulation of time
Time strangulation
Waiting in anticipation
It’s growing shorter
It’s almost here
You know you can see your way clear
See your way clear
Waiting… not for long
Come on, sing along… waiting with anticipation

You’re the one
When the waiting is done
You’re the winner

LYRICS
You know you took it too far
Right when you crossed the line
From my point-of-view — bizarre

No, it wasn’t the first time
It wasn’t the second time
It wasn’t even 3 strikes you’re out

Wrong and right
Is black and white

You don’t need a moral compass
To prove you’re an ass
This was no seventh inning stretch
You just caused a total train wreck

LYRICS
There’s something that’s in me
An itching energy
That’s busting, busting, busting out to be

A golden synergy

Like electricity

There’s something that’s in me
An itching energy
That’s busting, busting, busting out to be

Praise God for eternity… or, at least relativity?

Lordess Of Destruction Part 3.mp3

LYRICS
Do you thirst to see blood?
Do you like to see people dragged through the mud?
Lordess Of Darkness
I suppose you’re your own curse

You weren’t quite fortunate enough
To be fetched by a hearse
You’re just a living zombie
A shell of a body
Foul
You’ve got no soul
You’re the Lordess Of Darkness
I suppose you’re your own curse

Lordess Of Darkness

With all your previous lives
You’d think you’d realize
Lordess Of Darkness
I suppose you’re your own curse

LYRICS
Hummina hummina hummina
If someone comes up to you on the street
And, tries to give you some discrete… or less than discrete
Tries to give a piece concrete
Evidence
Which is summed up with the hummina hummina hummina
My suggestion
Run
Or, if you want to have some fun
Go ahead and engage
Ask about rosemary and sage

If you are going to rise and ride the tide
You don’t want to feel like you’re being swept away
You want to feel like you have some kind-of control over the day
No hummina hummina hummina along the way
Trying not to say hummina hummina hummina

If you are more interested in knowing the great unknown
Please let your presence be known

LYRICS
The Great Unknown x2
There’s much to learn
About the great unknown
The Great Unknown x2
The more that we see
The less great it will be

If you really want to set yourself free
Get knowing… it’s sheer ecstasy

The Great Unknown x2
Increasing comprehension
In the great unknown

LYRICS
Dag-nab-it! Why can’t you just remember what this song is about?
I did now don’t

Why can’t you just remember what this song is about?

I was just getting ready to lay down the track
When my stomach had this sort-of weird attack
By the time I got back
My memory was at a lack

That’s why I can’t remember what this song is about
I did now I don’t

It was right there
On the tip-of-my-tongue
I swear
It was right there

Why can’t I remember what this song is about
I did… now, don’t
