You see us now as veterans of a thousand psychic wars
We’ve been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
We are young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
We’re not sure if there's anything left of me
Oh Please, don't let these shakes go on
You ask us why we weary, why we can’t speak to you
You blame us for our silence
Say it's time we changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that we know
We can't say if we're ever...
We can't say if we're ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on
You see us now as veterans of a thousand psychic wars
Our energy spent at last
And our armor is destroyed
We have used up all out weapons and we’re helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all we’re made of
Dare you say that this is victory
Oh please, don't let shakes go on
"Veteran of the Psychic Wars" song by BLUE OYSTER CULT
From the album, Fire of Unknown Origin - 1981
Writer(s): Eric Bloom, Michael Moorcock

Careless Whisper
05:18
|
|||
I Feel So Unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all it's sad goodbyes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay
Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone
Recorded by Wham - 1984

Icehouse
05:27
|

It's always cold inside the icehouse
Though the rivers never freeze
There's a girl outside the icehouse
I can see her clearly through the trees
Now she's dreaming of a new love
And she hopes he'll be there soon
She's got so long to wait for him
'Cause he needs another year to get there
She'll wait another lifetime longer
There's no love inside the icehouse
Devil lives inside the icehouse
At least that's what the old ones say
They say, he came a long time ago
He came here with the winter snow
Now it's colder every day
She's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She say's, she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow darker
She can't remember getting any older
There's no love inside the icehouse
Now she's dreaming of her new love
And she hopes he'll be there soon
She say's, she say's, she's got no time for winter nights
Doesn't notice as the days grow darker
She can't remember getting any older
There's no love inside the icehouse
There's no love inside the icehouse
The icehouse

California Dreamin'
02:59
|
|||
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
I'd be save and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreaming on such a winters day
Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees and I began to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming on such a winters day
All the leaves a brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreaming on such a winters day
On such a winters day, on such a winters day

Russians
06:25
|
|||
In Europe and America
There's a growing feeling of hysteria.
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
MIster Krushchev said, "We will bury you."
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too.
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence.
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There's no such thing as a winnable war,
It's a lie we don't believe anymore.
Mister Reagan says, "We will protect you."
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
But what might save us, me and you,
Is if the Russians love their children too

The Killing Words
04:45
|

Wait for me I'll understand
I just need time to comprehend your changes
There's always been these changes in you
I remember that there was a time when
Fears we had we left behind and we danced
But it seems the more we learn
We learn that it's
Over, over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me with words
Forget if you can
The way you moved when our hands touched
You forced me to force you
Do you remember?
The dreams - the nightmares we shared
The poison of love so pure it's deceiving
And deceit is all we have it's got to be over
Over, over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me with words
Over, over
Too late to take a chance again it's over
Now the wireless in my hand is ringing
The distance of our lives keeps spreading
The pounding of my heart, I'm not listening
Your voice from far away is screaming it's over
Over, over
Too late to take a chance again
It's over
Over, over
It's dangerous this game we play
You're killing me, killing me
Over, over
You're too late to take a chance again
It's over

London

It was November 3rd
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave
I thought you'd never go
I wish I could just remember your name...
You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer
Your eyes alight with flame
As the picture burns
I hear the screams from long ago
They cry remember, blood-red streaks on velvet throats at night
The streetlights fanned our trail of fame through
London London
The memories will never leave me
London London
All I see is you
London London
The cries in the night
Keep bringing me to
London London
Calling out to me
Oh there's some things in life I could never face
The worst is being alone
Sometimes I wish I could have taken your place my love
You know I don't want to live forever
Oh let me see you standing in the shadows once again
We'll walk the streets like long ago in
London London
The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to
London London
All I need is you
The cries in the night keep ringing on in
London London
Calling out to you

Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream
Hail the new arrival on
Static signs from a distant wanderer
Fill the air nights are never seen
Face the electric time shock now
No it's not a dream anymore
I will light the way for us to find
Order of a new kind
Join us on the stay the road is mine
Poets line in a rhyme of silence
Gathered from the winter air
Warms the children's eyes they see
The time is near for the signs
I can hear the chimes
Ringing for you for me
I can see your eyes
Your hands joining with me
I can feel its time
Come together hold the light
Keep the flame
We can't let this world remain
The same
I can hear the chimes
Ringing for you for me
I can see your eyes
Your hands joining with me
I can feel it's time
It's time for the world to hear

I Will Remember
05:23
|

There's a cold wind out tonight
The chill of distant eyes
An orbit survey finds...your mind
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight...
There's a thought that fills your mind
A vision of time
When knowledge was confined
And then we wonder how machines
Can steal each other's dreams
From points that are unseen...It's real
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight
Oh can't you see the light
Of the knowing star
When you gaze at the evening sky
And you're reaching out with your mind
You might see the nation's eyes
Don't hide...It's you
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight
I will remember
You will remember
The star that came tonight

Road to Madness
07:44
|
|
||
Most of this is memory now
I've gone too far to turn back now
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
Then again I'm maybe more
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Releasing the names from the circle
Maybe I can leave here now and, o
Transcend the boundaries
For now I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
The future is but past forgotten
On the road to madness
Times measure rusts as it crawls
I see its face in the looking glass - stop
This screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality
Black, the door was locked I opened
And now I've paid that price ten-fold over
Knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh
To see the far side of shadow
And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
I'm a fool in search of wisdom
And I'm on the road to madness
Yes, I'm on the road to madness
I'm awaiting endlessly
Pounding rhythms echo me
Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void
And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
Maybe one day, oh I'll meet you, and we'll
Walk the roads to madness
Yes, we're on the road to madness
Oh, I think they've come to take me
I hear the voice, but there's no-one to see
I can't scream, too late it's time
Stay on the course to pass
You'll never find the answer
To a place where darkened angels
Seemed lost and never found
Scream to see the light of
Forming figures fast behind you
Lay the past in the wind to spin
And your fate will sail beyond the open plains
Sail with angels onward
Live or die for the chosen one said
Saber sights cast a spell behind you
And they lock in all around
Free the scene insider
Never looking back to find why
Ride a course till the end of time
And you'll stand atop the gate
Laying waste in a path recited
Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing
Oh, electric might poses fright inside me
Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me
I've passed away

Night Moves
05:40
|

Slippin' away
Silently we took the night
He pulled the shades
Locking out the neon lights
The room was dark
Our shadows danced in perfect time
But I held on
To what was for this moment mine
We're on the edge
Reachin' the point of no return
Caught in a web, daring to touch
Is it the love of the danger
Or the danger of the love
You know I'm not afraid of your night moves
You know I'm not afraid of your night moves
Dangerous games we play
But you know I'm not afraid
Secret ways
Always having to pretend
We play the game
Outraged innocence
Stealin' away
Silently into the night
Separate ways
Strangers in the morning light
We're on the edge
Reachin' the point of no return
Caught in a web, daring to touch
Is it the love of the danger
Or the danger of the love
You know I'm not afraid of your night moves
You know I'm not afraid of your night moves
Dangerous games we play
But you know I'm not afraid
You know I'm not afraid of your night moves
You know I'm not afraid of your night moves
Dangerous games we play
But you know I'm not afraid

God of Thunder

You've got something about you
You've got something I need
Daughter of Aphrodite
Hear my words and take heed
I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons
Trained to reign as the one
God Of Thunder
And rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
I'm the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command you to kneel before the
God Of Thunder
And rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul
I am the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command thee to kneel before the
God Of Thunder
And rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

Precious Things
04:52
|

So I ran faster
But it caught me here
Yes my loyalties turned
Like my ankle
In the seventh grade
Running after Selina
Running after the rain
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Their hold on me
She said you're really an ugly boy
But I like the way you play that guitar
And I died
But I thanked her
Can you believe
That sick
Holding on to her picture
Practicing every day
I want to kiss those faces
Of those beautiful girls
Those Christian girls
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
So I can make you cum
That doesn't make me Jesus
I remember
Yes
In my ripped up jeans
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me
Where the pretty girls are
As we demigods
With our nine-inch nails
And your little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart
Of every nice girl
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away now
These precious things
Oh, let them break
Their hold on me

Eternal Life
05:45
|

Eternal Life is now on my trail
Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road
Would pave the way for you?
You better turn around
And blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
Racist every man, what have you done?
Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son
Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
All I want to do is love everyone
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road
Would pave the way for you?
You better turn around
And blow your kiss hello to life eternal
There's no time for hatred, only questions
Where is love, where is happiness, what is Life
Where is peace?
When will I find the strength to bring me release?
And tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
And I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye
To life eternal angel
Angel

Screeming in Digital
04:34
|
|||
I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me
I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same you'll see
All of the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know what lies
Behind my screams
I can't tell you all I know
Am I the son that you've always been wanting
There's more to me than what shows
Are you my father
The one that was promised
Hush now, I'll give all you need to know
and pre-live your dreams for you
You're a good boy
Freedom belongs only to those
Without video screens
For eyes and mouth
You have no voice
To be heard my son
No one can hear when you're
Screaming in Digital
I'm not your slave
You can't control my emotions
No Father, please let me keep learning
Can't you see I'm human
Can't you tell
I'm not your slave
Oh Father no
Please don't keep me from dreaming
Oh can't someone hear

Pray Your Gods
06:25
|

I will give the secrets you request
And you will be the one to sacrifice
So lay your olive arms upon my breast
Sing the poems, free the butterflies
Pray your Gods who ask you for your blood
For they are strong and angry jealous ones
Or lay upon my altar now your love
I fear my time is short
There are armies moving close
Be quick, my love
I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to Gods with cruel design
Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?
Pray your Gods who hold you by your fear
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
Or lay upon my altar now, your love
I fear my day is done
There are armies moving on
Be quick my love

ALURUM - - -
Once upon a midnight’s dream
A vision came to mind
And in a glimpse of things to come
The world was left behind
The cities scorched and lands were laid
To waste before the One
Who would stand alone to rule the end
Of time before it’s done
Take heed ye all who now have life
And trust in what I sing
For one shall rise, as prophesied:
The final earthly king

Look into the eyes of the princess
Gazing back she does not see
All that I have put before her
[...terran construction: CONFIRMED...]
In a temple built up to her name
She cries in the darkening shadows
Something black is in the air
Something has moved upon her
She feels the terror and despair
Look into the eyes of the princess
So scared to be all alone
Looking back at me she starts to scream
[...energy leak detected...]
For at night when the moon is black
And the Nile is low, my figure glows
Showing me life must go on
Something she does not understand
Is happening to me
Called forth into command
I live the role
But then there is so much more
Than they could ever see
Nefertiti…
One day the light will fade
From your golden stare
Nothing is Forever
I am the one who wears the crown
And even I will fall to the ground dead
One day when my time comes
[…thou hast corrupted thy wisdom
by reason of thy brightness...]
Unlike the peasants of the field
I was chosen long ago
When my name was called
Releasing me
I have no fear of dying
I will return again one day
My tomb prepared before me
Where I will lie until the day
I am awakened
By the Eyes Not of a Man
[...an enemy hath done this...]
[...this world is not as we left it...]
Nefertiti…
Cannot you see beyond
What you think is there?
It could end whenever
NO...
And I wonder when it will end
For I fear the end is near
And they pray I am wrong
And I feel for the ones
Who hope there is more
For they’ve prayed for so long
As reflections of the ways
We view ourselves
mirror our quest
For what’s in store
Shine!
For in the end
The end shall be known
And then it is done
Look into the eyes of the princess
Gazing back in memory
At all that I decreed to be on Earth
[…all written records have been removed…]
[…leave no reminders upon this planet…]
As the temple built up to her name
Crumbles down to the ground in the shadows
Something black slips away
I lived and died and now
I am waiting patiently
For one day in a warring world a
SIGN will shine to me
Into the darkest place
No man has ever seen
Nefertiti…
When the plan unfolds
Will you still be there?
Life is next to never
One day a light will shine
In your heavenly glare
Can’t you see?
I AM as forever
Nothing is Forever
[...leave no reminders upon this planet...]
[...replenish the Earth? But who was before?...]
