barkmoney This goes so hard! The Day They Closed World sounds like a good Dream Theater track or post-80's King Crimson minus Fripp and the experimental avant-garde filler. The chorus-ish parts with the titular line are chilling. The instrumentals are so good! Blood and Water and Dance with Dave are my 2nd and 3rd fav tracks, but I really like it all! Favorite track: The Day They Closed the World.

Love the Hard Way 06:10
lyrics

In the middle of your evening, close your eyes Under the cover of darkness is the best disguise Set the moon on fire one more time Like so many nights before colored by cries “Don’t look back” oughta be your motto See the past only shows the sorrow Burn it all, let the flames take it away, take me away I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way There’s a wind blowing my way, growing cold Calling names long forgotten from ages old In the dark, can you find me, hiding still? Forging a blaze to create an iron will “Don’t look back” oughta be my motto Show the past, only see the sorrow Burn it all, let the flames take it away, take me away I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way Ghosts don’t come back, don’t you tell me Stories of what-ifs and will-be’s Don’t pull me out from my dark fire, take it all away I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way I learned to love the hard way

I Love You Very Much 04:06
lyrics

Dó You fill my heart with endless joy You grace my soul with warm desire My love no one could ever destroy There’s no way they’ll put out our fire Words often fail to show what I feel inside But know I’ll love you till the day I die Look at me, I made you breakfast Breakfast in bed How could I resist, when you tempt me with your kiss There’s no way I can control it when it’s growing more and more I know you feel it too cos I can see it coming through You know I love you very much So so much Every day, you light my way To hell and back, I’ll walk for you There is no demon I would not slay I’ll make you feel evergreen and new Words often fail to show what I feel inside But know I’ll love you till the day I die Aah Chorus2- I love you very much, I love you very much Every moment that I breathe I’m aching for your touch I love you very much, I love you very much How could I even explain that I love you so much I love you so so much

Blood and Water 03:54
lyrics

Can you teach me how to walk in the city? I think I tried it once or twice, but it wasn’t pretty Wanna make sure that I look good for the spotlight Don’t wanna show my face when I’m out rebelling all night Too much I don’t need to know, too late, I gotta go Brother and I go back a long time Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone, kicked in, screwed loose Words from the family won’t leave me alone I got too much to say, I’m not something that you own Sleep tight, I’ll be out soon, hope your night’s not dire I’m gonna set the bed on fire Water won’t help this time, cos blood’s thicker than water Brother and I go back a long time Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone Brother and I go back a long time Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone, kicked in, screwed loose Something wrong in the air Feeling crazy, no one cares Funny people, funny names All so special, all the same Hit me with a word from the wise No more preaching with those ice cold eyes Feeling heavy under doom and gloom Show me a new door to break through Brother and I go back a long time Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone Brother and I go back a long time Sister, what’s up? Your lights don’t shine Mamma and Pop, their ruckus don’t stop Caught in the chaos, my head is all gone, kicked in, screwed loose

Dance with Dave 05:50
lyrics

So, I find myself in a corner Crimson tale like no other Stuck in between a hard place And a fellow named Dave A funny name for a quiet man Can’t say too much, hope he understands That we’ve got nothing in common Except for that song Playing so loud yet so soft to the touch We can’t help but stare, over there To the ones loving the moment’s rush Small talk’s too large of a task, Must I ask What to do with Dave when I’ve absolutely nothing to add I can tell, that he too is an unwilling party To this all too peculiar party A face to fill the scene An unwilling heart evergreen My fingers complete another rhythm melody Hands in pockets want to wander way from me How long can this song go on? The silence must not carry on Questions too simple, too vague, too rudimentary You see, we are adults, yet can’t converse With positive results How long must I sit in place, Placid faced Next to this man named Dave? Oh Dave! So, the dance is reaching its finish Dave is restless and Finnish Our better halves come to get us And take us back home Pleasantries unpleasantly exchanged Future parties carefully arranged Better make sure that We four don’t ever cross paths Feeling relieved cos I truly believed that Our silence would resume eternally With no break from reality As our wives speak of second times I’m stuck, once again, in a heavy silence with Dave, oh no!

Please don’t turn on the machine… Please don’t turn on the machine… Please don’t turn on the machine… Please don’t turn on the machine… Please d-- They told me not to make a move, not to make a sound They told me that it’s safe, then so why aren’t they around? They told me, you’ve been warned, it’s gonna get a little loud But I had no idea that I’d be swallowed by that sound The machine stops for a moment I can hear it breathing Its cogs keep spinning What’s that sound, what’s that sound in my head? It’s a crackle that’s not supposed to be there They told me that it’s safe If it’s safe then why can’t I move? They got me tied down to a bed of nails There it is again, the crackle I can’t yell out, I’ll move too much I’m stuck here, as the cogs keeps spinning It’s oh so quiet, and it’s all so scary Every track it plays, it hits in different ways The machine’s chaotic melody, it rotates and it sways How long has it been, is it okay? Is it safe? Did they find that thing in me, that’ll put me in the grave?

Carnal State 05:59

Falling in a burning book of pasts long passed Taken away from the lonely hearts holding tight to their right Why the people fear the ghosts misunderstood In our concrete jungle world, there’s no place for the skewed Keeping you in line, hungry all the time Devil’s in the details, devil’s in the rhyme We’ve seen it all before, didn’t even change the score All according to their plan Everything you want, everything you are Is a part of a plan with your mind in mind Anything you do, will come for you When lights don’t shine where you want them to Take away the need to say what’s on your mind It can bring you peace if only for a little while Stories of unwritten truths find eyes beguiled It is only a matter of time before they’re let loose to run wild Flavors of the flesh, savory and fresh Remove the troublesome whatevers in your head It’s a matter of time before words are a crime In a world strictly sublime Anything you want, anything you do Is all nicely designed and given to you Don’t cross the line, and you’ll be fine But where they draw the line all depends on you Take a number, take a seat, take a break from the heat And enjoy their ploy to enamor you Look at all their pretty lights, freedom in sight Awaiting you to set it free Keeping you in line, hungry all the time The meat’s still on the bone, you’re not eating it alone We’ve seen it all before, didn’t even change the score All according to their plan Everything you want, everything you are Is a part of a plan with your mind in mind Anything you do, will come for you When lights don’t shine where you want them to Flavors of the flesh, savory and fresh Take away those thoughts living in your head It’s a matter of time before words are crime In a world with a painted on smile In a world where darkness never shines In a world strictly sublime

I got a monkey hanging on my back It’s holding on, ready to attack Gotta rip it off, fore it ruins the mood I wanna get it off, get in on, loud and lewd No crazy cat can bust my jive I’m a crazed dust biter staying alive You’ll feel me if you dare to cross the line I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy There ain’t no mortal man can bother me I got a twitchy hand, finger on the trigger Better keep your fist from getting bigger I’ll one you up, I’ll knock you down Cos I’m the most cold chilly dog around Can’t make a move I won’t replace With a slap of reality in the face Better turn and run before I put you in place I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy There ain’t no mortal man can bother me No crazy cat can bust my jive I’m a crazed dust biter staying alive You’ll feel me if you dare to cross the line I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy I’m cold iron, no mortal man that I can’t beat I’m cold iron, can’t leave a mark on me; I’m stainless steel I’m cold iron, with a heart of stone, do it best alone I’m cold iron, got looks that kill, got infamy There ain’t no mortal man can bother me

The Day They Closed the World 13:09

Take a look who’s coming into town It’s a little red man with a little red crown Up ahead is a growing crowd Passions marching out, shouting mighty loud Keep me away from you Look but don’t touch whatever you do I can hear us screaming out for help Take a look what you done, take a look at yourself If you tell us we are under control Can we sit our ground when life takes its toll? Let’s build a wall, build it fast Grow it tall, see how long it lasts You better stay in place, the boss is on the case Keep Mother Earth safe at her bay, right where you lay That’s what they say On the day they closed the world With fire forming down below How long can we watch the show Till we open up the doors And say goodbye to the earthly world we’ve grown to know Save me, I’m running out of breath Don’t breathe too deep, you’ll catch your death Take a walk, feed the sunny sunshine And wave away the twyly light Listen to those in the know Watch for whatever they show They wouldn’t lie just to keep us safe All according to plan, pieces fall in place Jigsaw getting hard to trace New colors, new names, see it in the face Prisoners rising to a boil Bury them deep in our soil So you better stay in place, how can we save the world by doing nothing all day, this crazy way, that’s what you say On the day they closed the world With fire forming down below How long can we watch the show Till we open up the doors The people say it’s time to go Time to move in a single row And say goodbye to the earthly world we’ve grown to know What a wonderful world Saved by paper and plastic, too fantastic Living the dream, arms inside at all times Find the face behind the face No rest for the wretched No place to stay, cause the only way Is to stay away Can you hunger for a touch? I feel that I feel an itch, to speak out, to reach out I feel it I need to see you, see me, see the world See my place, my place, I feel it I want it, I want to break out of here, my life, break out from my life There’s a future waiting for me, can you believe it? I feel it People falling down one by one Caught under a spell of a rising sun Feeling like life’s only begun There’s no need to wait, better duck and run Our eyes tell a different tale Stories of gloom for the frail Up ahead is a growing sound People up in arms, but don’t scream too loud Fighting for what they think is right Fighting back against an almighty might Listen to the magical box Tell you what your future should hold In its funny waves, you aimlessly sway Different story, different day, don’t dare resist the things they say On the day they closed the world With fire forming down below How long can we watch the show Till we open up the doors Hear them cry, the people say it’s time to go Time to move on with the show The needy holding out for hope Scared to break the silence long foretold Say goodbye to the earthly world we’ve grown to know What a wonderful world Taken down by a little red crown Send a little love my way, the world’s too big anyway Listen, it’s oh so quiet, and it’s all so nice

Why don’t you open me up and see what falls out? I guess you’d like to see me go out balls out My reservations, you are cutting loose like a madman Sure no one’s gonna suspect you of anything You are the man of the hour Your manatee holds the key to the power I’m getting hot, is it because it’s cold in here? You’re so underdressed, it is showing, dear You’re like a man obsessed with feelings so repressed You’re losing productivity She’s got a thing for you, it won’t fit through Trust me, I’ve tried it before She’ll get some ice cubes and a bottle of Knack She’ll get the Jack Absolute zero in here And in time you will feel the hunger Coming for you Underestimating wheels of torture Second time coming strong, I feel like I do belong To this little club you gathered us for The talking monkey is a laugh and a half The mystic rhythm’s gonna cut me and laugh The man with the shovel and a glass eye for a testicle Lines up in forays and marches to the gravel pit Seeking new victims to pray on and dreams to prey on Dirty fingers hunger to control the nation You’re like a man obsessed with feelings so depressed You’re losing conductivity He’s got a thing for you, it won’t fit through Just cuz I said so He’ll get some frostbite and an hour to go He’ll see the show Absolute zero in here And in time you will feel the hunger Coming for you Underestimating wheels of torture I’ll see your bishop if you wanna twist my arm tonight I’ll be your heart if you don’t wanna see me at first light I’ll be the same thing if you wanna be my fairy kite I’ll be your Melvin if you wanna be my true delight I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit I’ll be your Kelvin if you wanna be my Fahrenheit
