Nevermore
Dead Heart In A Dead World

01   Narcosynthesis (05:31)

Hypnotize me, mesmerize me
Drain the color from my eyes
Patronize me, energize me
Change the world, internalize

How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis
How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis

Alienate me, learn to hate me
Crucify your ideals the flesh is the swine
We are the last ones and we're bleeding
For an unseen god

How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis
How did it come to this,
Narcosynthesis

Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?

Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer the great concealer
Please salvage my soul

Victimize me, vilify me
Vilipend and amend the sins you condign

Vou are nothing and you speak for
All that never was

Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?

Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer the great concealer
Please salvage my soul

Vou are nothing and you speak for
All that never was

Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?

Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer the great concealer
Please salvage my soul

02   We Disintegrate (05:11)

within the dark communion of self awareness
there lies a void called ego
an endless fusion of stillness and chaos
to bring its death can bring rebirth
I want to freeze the time
(dissolve into gray)
as we disintegrate the light
let the rain come down,
let the solitude surround
I want to change the lines
and purify the divide
are we ever free or slaves to technology
Outside the fallen walls of pride and prejudice
there is a voice that speaks in circles
empty illusions still fall before us
there is no future so profess your pain

03   Inside Four Walls (04:39)

Inside four walls I live my life,doesn't matter what I've done
The governement's always right
They tell us what to be they tell us what to believe
They're wrong my friend is gone

Inside four walls,
Inside four walls
The day they took away my friend

Injustice made it's mark
All the political whores only come out after dark
If anyone knows the way
Build me a bridge so I won't fall astray

Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies

The system falls apart
The pigs still laugh feeding off our broken lives
Can anyone tell me why
Some violent criminals do far less time?

Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies

Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom
And the pigs still preach their lies
Inside four walls,inside four walls my friend
They took away your freedom

But they'll never take your mind

04   Evolution 169 (05:51)

Welcome to the pleasure dome
Now take a seat the crowd is watching you
Just rats in this experiment
Now learn the maze
But don't tear yourself in two
Don't let it pull you down

And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness
We seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169

You can touch but never taste the answers
Like the way that I want you
Today I killed my ego, if hell is real
Dear God please tie my noose
And then he pulled me down

And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness
We seek the perfect view
We reach another turn then fall out of time
In organized chaos
Evolution 169
And one by one we crawl, and two by two
Into the mouth of madness, we fly away

Don't set your mind to one side
Don't set your mind to one side

05   The River Dragon Has Come (05:05)

Today the warning came in the flood
Architects and fools never cared for poor men's blood
Cursed to repeat the past they are
The river dragon swims upstream
They've built another wall

The three will
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The three will fall

The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves

Those who cannot remember the last
Fall away,far away
The distance meets its task

The three will
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The three will fall

The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
The river dragon has come
At first light of dawn
The earth has spoken
And in the crush they are gone

The three will
Save us from the flood
Washed away we drown
The three will fall
The river dragon
Has come
Souls wash away
The earth has spoken and taken them to their graves
In the mass destruction the bringer shows his form
Technology the beast
The seventh crown

06   The Heart Collector (05:55)

to see the actor without tears
Dark rivers carve the years between the lies of self control
In my psychotic karmic fear I own your tears anyway
And I am you and we are not afraid

And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song thats slowly boiling over

Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
just believe when you can't believe anymore

The stage is empty now
We hope we hold and cannot allow the corrupt ecletic
Takes his fatal bow

And we won't be here for long
The heart collector sings his song Again

Nevermore to feel the pain
The heart collector sang
And I won't be feeling hollow for so long
Nevermore to feel the pain
The words fall out like fire
just believe when you can't believe anymore

07   Engines of Hate (04:42)

Can I be your personal demon
Sit back absorb the words
And feast on my mind semen
Can I be the devil on your shoulder
We all fall down as the world gets colder

I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate

Can I be your chemical pariah
The world's such an ugly place
It seems useless sometimes trying
Will you watch the hate machine spin evil
Or will you look away and plead apathy again

I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate

We sing into the sky on the production line
We are the holly swine,impurity defined
You can't ignore us anymore
You cannot judge us anymore

The sheep are made to follow
Choke back the puke and swallow
The sheep are told to divide
The engines of hate still grind

I uncreate, I desecrate
I spit the truth into the engines of hate

08   The Sound of Silence (05:13)

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping!

And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
The sound of silence...

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp!

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
It split the night...
And touched the sound of silence.
The sound of silence...

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
Fools. said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening (listening)!

System check!
Neon black!

And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered...
In the sound of silence.
The sounds of silence...
The sounds of silence!
The sounds...

Fools. said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.

09   Insignificant (04:56)

Ours is not to question the reasons why
Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied
Insignificant, am I?
The color of sundown,of crimson sky
The beauty that breaks down
And gives the day unto the night

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant, am I?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never knows the reason why

scan my horizon as blue turns to black
the sky is gone again
and all beneath are born to die
insignificant, am I?

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant, am I?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never knows the reason why

10   Believe in Nothing (04:21)

Into a strange new world,
Into the after all, your tears,
Might find you've fallen too far
Take another look,
Take another ride
Can't we make them leave the hate behind

And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?

Into the empty storm,
Into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow?

Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still

Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still

Nothing!
