Twenty Five Sins

Call off your witch hunt
This time the french are not to blame
Your justice is heaven sent
I bid you farewell I'll see you in hell
This town is burning down
This town is burning down
This town is burning down
You've consumed and consumed and consumed
The very soul of this city
It's a sin
Will you be surprised when the flames
Consume you as God claims his retribution
This town is burning down
This town is burning down
This town is burning down
This town is burning down
This town is burning down
This town is burning down

The Deception
|
|
|
They said it couldn't be done
And so it seems
I proved them all wrong
In spite of them
I have become
The chosen one
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday
This is the devil's game
It turns me on
All I ever wanted
Is a little revolution
But here I sit
With my head in my hands
Lost in a sea of deception
And this ship won't let me sink
And the wind won't talk about
England expects
England expects
If you feed them a lie
They will take it and run
And who could blame them
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday
This is the devil's game
This is a holiday

We All Fall Down
|
|
|
We play a waiting game
And we play a waiting game
We play a waiting game
And it won't be long now
The tailor was the first to go
We burnt his clothes
And we burried him low
The tailor's next of kin
And the tailor's neighbors followed him
And so it is
And so it goes
Save our souls
We play a waiting game
And we play a waiting game
We play a waiting game
And it won't be long now
The fossor refused to dig
And who could blame him if he did
We bury our own now
We bury them deep
When the doctor followed suit
Knew our plight was set to worsen
So it is
The fear of God now is in every person
With heavy hearts
And other hands
We build a wall around this town
Now no one comes and no one goes
Save our souls
We play a waiting game
And we play a waiting game
We play a waiting game
And it won't be long now
When you said the air smelled sweet
I knew it was only a matter of time
And we all fall down
And we all fall down

Death of an Idealist
|
|
|
This is a breakdown
You are a cancer
This will be the death of me
I'll never live this down
You will never
An amazing fall from grace
No more or less than I deserved
A gentleman a liar and a cheat
And all that's left for me
Is to usher in the death of a broken man
And the birth of another
We all seem safe in the knowledge
That you are watching over
Everything that we do
This is a breakdown
You are a cancer
You've got a lot to answer for

Hope Is Not Enough
|
|
|
Our star burns bright,
As we curse it for the final time,
And we forget to breathe
And we regret
The process of our age,
Progress, stagnation and decay,
And we breathe deep.
And we realise
That hope is not enough,
Our game is up.
So caught up in the whens and the whys,
We forget to breathe
Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Breathe deep.
Well for a year we lived as kings.
We had everything we could ever need,
And we slept.
We slept soundly in our royal beds,
As the walls came crashing down,
Around our ears.
And as we realise
That hope is not enough,
Our game is up.
So caught up in the whens and the whys,
We forget to breathe.

Voice of Reason
|
|
|
It took a blow to the head
And I realized what I
Was put on this earth to achieve
It showed me the way
So make an example of me
Hang me up from the tallest tree
Make an example of me
This is not the voice of reason
It's the cross I was chosen to bear
This is not the voice of reason
My time has surely come
I'm as guilty as can be
This is treason
In the first degree
Now the gallows tree
she calls to me my name
There can be no reprieve for me now
In this lifetime
This is not the voice of reason
It's the cross I was chosen to bear
This is not the voice of reason
Make an example of me
Make an example of me

More Weight
|
|
|
More weight
More weight
All the stones you've thrown
More weight
They weigh down upon my soul
More weight
And though it bends it never breaks.
More weight, more weight.
You mark my words
More weight
You'll get what you deserve
More weight
And though they bend they never break
More weight, more weight
More weight, more weight, more weight
Do unto me what you want and say what you will
You and I both know I'll never be what you fear the most.
For when our time comes on this earth
I'll let it be known of all the stones thrown
You cast the first.
You mark my words
More weight
You'll get what you deserve
More weight
And though they bend they never break
More weight, more weight
More weight, more weight, more weight

These Feet Of Clay
|
|
|
Your romantic gestures
They are lost on me.
Even with a heart of stone
If it ends as it began we will never know.
We marched bravely
From the lions' den.
Their shadows flicker in the flame.
We marched bravely
From the lions' den.
They grow more human every day
And we were lost.
How long
Before the lights come on?
Before they wake,
And there is hell to pay?
We will all be gone
Before the lights come on
Well the writing's on the wall.
We marched bravely
From the lions' den.
Their shadows flicker in the flame.

Victress

You pulled the wool
Over our eyes
You stole the wind
From my sails
I pushed her too hard
I dreamed too big for my
Landlocked world to contain
Here I sit with head in hand
I sing elegies to lessons I will never learn
I pushed her too hard
All men will be
Sailors until the sea
Shall set them free
I close my eyes and
All men will be
Sailors until the sea
Shall set them free
I close my eyes and
All men will be
Sailors until the sea
Shall set them free
I close my eyes and swim

How could I,
have led these men to their demise,
and they just follow?
Exploration's last great prize,
it wasn't mine.
CHORUS:
and mores the shame
you will remember my name
Great god,
this is an awful place,
and I do not think that we can hope,
for any better things now,
oh the end,
cannot be far,
it cannot be far,
I cannot wait.
Explorations last great prize,
a saving grace,
it wasn't mine

Sea of Regrets
|
|
|
Some things are better left forgotten
Or the weight of the world will crush your bones
In an ideal situation
This will all be over soon.
And I will leave this world in pieces
I will leave it to the scarab and the crows
Under seas and under soil
In a million years
Our bones will be your oil
One by one
It happens to us all
When you least expect
Your sky will tumble down
We were surprised to find
It was our time to sink or swim
And I will leave this world in pieces
I will leave it to the scarab and the crows
Under seas and under soil
In a million years
Our bones will be your oil
We're out of our death in
A sea of regrets and
I hate to say I told you so
We're out of our depth in
A sea of excess and
This is everything I hoped it would be

they've made mountains out of molehills
let them climb
they can chase me to the end of the earth
and if they find me, let them indite me
i just don't care anymore
they've pushed me too far, too far
they've pushed me too far, too far
all this talk of war but it's only a game
all i ever wanted to do is play chess with you
but if they find me, they will indite me
i just can't fight anymore
they've pushed me too far, too far
they've pushed me too far, too far
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here for bobby
we'll build this rook house here...

You could have saved yourself
I gave you more than one chance
"I Am Murdered, I Am Murdered" you cried
Well, well,
You could have survived
I will rot, a broken man, in this green and pleasant land
Your position can't save you now
(Your position can't save you)
You were the finger on my trigger
And the rope around my neck
As you were as well
Your position can't save you now
You could have saved yourself
I gave you more than one chance
"I Am Murdered, I Am Murdered" you cried
Well, well,
If the truth be told
It is I that will meet my demise at your hands Mr. Perceval
I am murdered
You will hang a guilty man in England's green and pleasant land
Your position (you were the rope around my neck) can't save you now (you were the finger on my trigger)
Your position can't save you now (you were the rope around my neck)
Your position can't save you now
As the bullet flies, you cannot hide behind
Your position (you were the rope around my neck) can't save you now (you were the finger on my trigger)
Your position can't save you now (you were the rope around my neck)
Your position can't save me now (you were the finger on my trigger)
Your position can't save me now
