Unreleased Lyrics
Lyrics of songs that for one reason or another never quite made it...
At least not yet that is! Ha ha ha!
Faction Zero
Back To Vietnam
(Original lyrics / song title of War Stories. When you play in
a band, it is
sort of a democracy. Anyway, the other guys were not comfortable with
these lyrics for one reason or another, hence the change of title and
slight change of lyrics. I for one, like these much better.)
Stealth bomber
thrust at full throttle
fully loaded with nuclear bombs
South East Asian
destination
flying low over jungle palms
they tortured
and killed my father
a prisoner of war
now I have returned to do
what we should have done before
I’ve stold the plane
I’ve stold the bombs
I’m on my way back
Back To Vietnam!
into position
target acquisition
flight plan
locked and complete
warheads armed
countermeasures on
they can’t shoot down
what they cant see
they say we lost
how can you lose?
when you won’t
accept defeat
with utmost joy
I’ll turn Hanoi
into a fireball
of nuclear heat
I’ve got the plane
I’ve got the bombs
I’m on my way back
back to Vietnam!!!
Now you want peace
there can’t be peace
until I’ve had
my final release
release that comes
from endless pain
I feel the closure
as the bombs rain
Bombs Away!
ASSIMILATE
(Unreleased track from the War Stories session)
The power of man
Is reaching new heights
Into the unknown,
We challenge the void
Gaining the knowledge
To heal or destroy
Replace god with technological toys
This wired state in which strive
Without faith
In our empty lives
Sterile world of glass and steel
Will we still be human,
When we stop to feel?
With reckless abandon
Progress marching on
Into a future
Where empathy's gone
Computerized notions
In a digital state
To become less than human, is this our fate?
****chorus****
The time's approaching when we (will) lose
contact with the real,
and spend our days in cyberspace
Losing that humanness that separates us from
machines,
assimilated at accelerated pace
Assimilated and we'll be thinking like a
microchip,
inside a techno cocoon
And when we try to remember how it felt to feel,
a syntax error, no message getting through
Solo - Dave Urban
First Verse
TOTAL CARNAGE
(Unreleased track from War Stories session)
Total carnage
Bodies burning
Limbs exploding
Shell fire landing
Craters forming
Atoms smashing
Total carnage
Universe crashing
Total Carnage
Total Carnage
Total carnage
Guns are blazing
Widows crying
Nerve gas hazing
Bombers flying
Wounded screaming
Total carnage
Blood - is - streaming
Total carnage
Rape infliction
Famine rampant
Walls of lead
A barbed wire crown
For the corpse kings' head
Bodies mangled
Babies dead
Total Carnage
Button pressed
Total carnage
Doomsday sentence
6 billion gone
In an instant
Sun extinguished
Final glory
Total carnage
The end is gory
The Foretelling….
(Unreleased track from war Stories session)
Part clouds of mystery
Reveal mans destiny
Lay bear the future
To my second sight
Vast probabilities
Vistas of what might be
Now you will see
things that might be
Future of man
dream that won't last
In glass an image formed
Of a plain ripped by storms
Torn by lightening and devoid of life
Heaped on the ground are bones
Among which skulls are strewn
broken weapons, rusted hulks of tanks
repeat chorus
Infinite life
The dream of man
Illusion
the end is now at hand
The final battle has begun
Entropy!
will man succumb?
I see the dark days commin'
The works of man they crumble
Into dust and swirling clouds of ash
And all we've done is gone
our small lives long forgot
Darkness and chaos
Our legacy
This I have seen x3
HALF ALIVE
(Sometimes we all feel this way... )
I try
to forget
all the times I had to cry
fail now
To forgive
all the ones I left behind
Its true
I'm bad news
and I've got nothin to loose
cause I'm only half alive
and I'm trying to survive
cause I'm only half alive
and I'm trying to survive
not now
or then
but why I have no friends
all alone
I stand
ready to fight again
I'm here
or there
but I'm always goin' nowhere
cause I'm only half alive
and I'm trying to survive
cause I'm only half alive
and I'm going to survive
yhea!
repeat chorus
Various other stuff....
WEREWOLF
(yhea, I wrote a song for Against The Grain about a fuggin' Werewolf!)
Its the middle of night
and there's no-one in sight
so I'm out for a stalk
and I'm feeling alright
alright!
the silvery glow
of the moonlight it shows
a path nobody else knows
down into grip
of this reality slip
alright!
scent is on the wind
the human hunt now begins
down alleys and streets
clatter of clawed feet
the excitement grows
time seems to slow
run towards release
catch up with the feast
claws and teeth bear down
with the sweet crunching sound
over the body a growl
to the full moon a howl
fangs rip and tear
slash, cut, severe
Wake up and she's there
leaves and sticks in my hair
daylight through the screens
why the fuck have I been?
there's dried blood on my hands
my clothes are in rags
"must have been a rough night"
she says with a sigh
Alright!
In my heart though I know
what the front page will show
"killed in vicious attack"
"the mad dog is back!"
Werewolf
Werewolf
Werewolf
Werewolf
