table of the emperor
upon which fine things sit
your cleanly pretty lineage
well I know you're banking on it
your parties are famous
your horses are purebred
but people who are salt of the earth
we know just what you're worth
you think you've got the blood of christ
and that's what makes you king
but if everybody has the kingdom within
then your blood don't really mean a thing
your parties are famous
your horses are purebred
people who are salt of the earth
we know just what you're worth
your army of slaves will never fix up the odds of
putting your hand in god's
your army of slaves will never fix up the odds of
putting your hand in god's
your army of slaves will never fix up the odds of
putting your hand in god's

Arrest This Man

arrest this man- i know he’s done nothing wrong
but i can see it in his eye’s he’s just playing along
so take him down he’s a danger to all
he’s just sitting there a’waitin’ for our guard to fall
that woman too- she looks so innocent and sweet
but she’s got battle in her eyes
she won’t easily retreat
so take her down just as fast as you can
if they look like they have questions- every woman child and man
take them down just as fast as you can
they smell blood in the water and they’re circling in
if they figure out how to sink us they’ll realize we can’t swim
and they’re already asking too many questions
we used to have them lined all neatly into rows
there were no accounts of any reports to expose
then one man fell out of line- and we should’ve known then
it’d be a domino effect- we’d have to deal with them
and there were women and children
and all color of men
at first they merely asked us what our business had been
but then they had to ask us if we’d been straight with them
Then they pointed fingers, said our lies were a sins
so take them down just as fast as you can
they smell blood in the water and they’re circling in
if they figure out how to sink us they’ll realize we can’t swim
and they’re already asking too many questions

Embrace The Cosmos
03:53

Whatever it was, I think we just heard the first and last of it
Nothing to mention, Forgettable moments in the day
In that 5 seconds, we aimed our rays and blasted it
And all the dogs have run away
Sing along , the band is finally free
Overhear the ordinary
We did our jobs as filters of the tap exceptionally
Now disperse to nothing be
Motion captured every lesson learned
And peaceful memories
Embrace the cosmos with your warmest greeting
Climb and behold, it’s over
but it’s never beginning
Whatever it was, I think we just heard the first and last of it
Nothing to mention, Forgettable moments in the day
In that 5 seconds, we aimed our rays and blasted it
And all the dogs have run away
Embrace the cosmos with your warmest greeting
Climb and behold, it’s over but it’s never beginning
It’s beginning, it’s never over
And it’s nothing at all

there's always a maybe
I won't wake up feeling so crazy
I'll wake up feeling fresh as a daisy
but then here it comes
big old feeling of dread
there's no way to remember
they told me it was all in my head
swimming turns to drowning
flying turns to falling
I'm crashing against the furthest moment of all time
when the end of all things comes a'calling
there's never a reason
my whole world comes crashing in
I forget to be so grateful for all I've been given
and what a miracle it is just to be alive
even as scary as these times may be
just soak up the air put my feet in the grass
and know that's the best things could be
cast aside all answers
cast aside all questions
cast away any thoughts that there ever were any rules
and that you ever were some kind of an exception
let it roll off your shoulder
peel it all off your back
let those demons in, let them sit for a spell
so they won't have a chance to surprise attack

Star Ride
05:13
|

it's a magical evening to go for a ride my love
so lay your back on the ground
point your legs to the sky
put your feet on the stars and let's ride
as planets go there could be worse ones for us to ride on
to ride on
mercury's blazing and mars has run dry
earth is just right for a star ride
earth is just right for a star ride
