Portent 04:28
lyrics
Life’s just a fleeting dream A slip of the tongue A shadow cast on a wall A small portent of what lies ahead When your heart’s content There’s a promise that’s unbroken A croak from the ravens beak The grim reaper, riding in your backseat A gathering of ghosts They’re right by the windowsill – Rat-tailed maggots! A pointing finger, a toothless grin An end to her torments Or was it ours? Bring out your dead An empty vessel, the soul has fled In the eye of the storm The other side is real In this eternal light There’s no body, no turning back Life’s just a fleeting dream A slip of the tongue A shadow cast on a wall A small portent of what lies ahead

Experience 03:04
lyrics
Staring at the ceiling spinning out of control It makes you sick, it makes you weak It makes you loose your fucking mind Ignorance Ignorance is bliss Experience Experience When you lie there frozen, more dead than alive It makes you fear, it makes it very clear … there’s no helping hand Ignorance Ignorance is bliss Experience Experience One may loose one’s way in the land of the dead It makes a promise, it’s always there It makes you face the living dead inside Ignorance Ignorance is bliss Experience Experience will carry you

Piglet 03:19
lyrics
Shaded by tears I’m not at peace When someones’s knocking I’m lost, I’m lost In this rickety shed Huffing, puffing, do me in Words keep repeating I’m the lowest of the low Shaded by tears I’m not at peace When someones’s knocking I’m lost, I’m lost Feel no more Feel no more Feel no more Feel no more Shadows chase me Through the night When they break inside This ghastly town loves a clown

Fear 04:16
lyrics
Standing waiting for a man to show Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door This waiting is killing me It’s wearing me down Day in, day out My feet are burning holes in the ground Darkness warmer than a bedroom floor Want someone to hold me close forever more I’m a sleeping dog, but you can’t tell When I’m on the prowl, you better run like hell You know it makes sense, don’t even think about it Life and death are things you just do when you’re bored Say fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend Sing fear’s a man’s best friend You add it up, it brings you down You add it up, it brings you down Home is living like a man on the run Trails leading nowhere, where to, my son? We’re already dead, but not yet in the ground Shake my helping hand, I’ll show you around You know it makes sense, don’t even think about it Life and death are things you just do when you’re bored Sing fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend You add it up, it brings you down You add it up, it brings you down Fear Say fear Say fear Say fear Say fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend Say fear’s a man’s best friend

Clean 03:19
lyrics
Another life Stuck again Rotting away Year after year Ambitions faded away As quickly as they rose If your hear me crying In this life and the next In this life and the next In this life and the next Another life Stuck again Rotting away Year after year Ambitions faded away As quickly as they rose If your hear me crying Another life It’s nothing In between Just dying Ambitions faded away As quickly as they rose If your hear me crying My conscious is clean I came out clean Clean
