Time Is Running Out

What happens when we just stop caring?
What happens when we start to feel the same?
The big surprise, you’ve joined the masses
You look around, there’s no one left to blame
Time is Running Out, Times are changing
Time is Running Out
Don’t worry about what they think, they can’t think any way
They’re going to live and die the way they are
It’s all fault, we let it happen
We tried to get you all to understand
Now it’s too late, to really change things
We’ve got to realize now just where we stand
Repeat chorus (Time is Running Out)
You never know, we just might change things
If I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath
You promised us you’d make things better
You’ve got us living in a brave new world
Repeat chorus (Time is Running Out)

The Final Conflict

It’s cold and dark in this desolate world
It crumbles before my eyes
Last destruction by the know it all’s
And now the end is near
Lead us all, lead us all into The Final Conflict
Make me feel, make me realize just where we went wrong
Let me learn, teach me things that no one can understand
Lead us all, lead us all into The Final Conflict
The sky turns red, like the blood on my hands
We live in a world that’s gone
We tried our best to keep it alive
But no one cared
Lead us all, lead us all into The Final Conflict
Make me feel, make me realize just where we went wrong
Let me learn, teach me things that no one can understand
Lead us all, lead us all into The Final Conflict

Somebody give me a reason why these people live the way they do
They’re all forced to watch the failures of their lives
They do everything that they’re told as long as they’re left alone
But they all seem so happy with their hands tied behind their backs
I can’t understand why they care so little for each other
We don’t know why they’re so numb to the rest of the world
They might regret their present life and other things there before them
They can’t explain the anxiety that fills their lives
Their lives, fills their lives, their lives…………..
Why do we let them do as they please?
You’d think that they owned our souls
Let’s pray that they don’t get together and change our minds
There’s no use, there’s just no place to hide, no place to go
They prey on the weak and the hungry, the rich and the poor
I can’t understand why they care so little for each other
We don’t know why they’re so numb to the rest of the world
They might regret their present life and other things there before them
They can’t explain the anxiety that fills their lives
Their lives, fills their lives, their lives…………..

Scratch his face, make him understand
Knock her on the ground, make her understand
What is that you hear? Language you hold dear
You are naturally – moving
Moving toward the - hive mind
Wave thought versus – sickly words
Silence versus – breath of myth
Talk speak laugh cry, yell tell scream die
Never work so scratch touch smash no!
Can there be no strength in you to change the future path you’re on
The broadcast minds of your new queen will, tame you, train you, enslave you
Make you drone and drone and drone
You must LEAVE! Sovereign state of mind! There is no queen in the territory of
My mind is MINE! Sovereign individual state
Work work obey obey sell your soul to the queen mother (2X) (I don’t believe you)
You must you must, feed the hive to stay alive, you must strive and strive
Obey! No! Obey! No!
Our languages are pretty cages, Inlaid with gold, ten thousand years old
Per chance you might escape, asylum be your mate
We are naturally – moving
Moving toward the - hive mind
Wave thought versus – sickly words
Silence versus – breath of myth

You've Changed

You said last night that it’s all over
You chewed me up and spit me out
Just like some gum left on the sidewalk
I’m getting stepped on, I’m getting stepped on
I’ve seen you once since last December
I asked you how your life has been going
You’re not the one that I remember
You’re so much different, you’re much too different
You’ve changed
You’ve changed
You ask me how my life’s been going
I told you once to shut your mouth
These fucking walls, they’re falling on me
Somebody help me, somebody help me
You’ve changed (4X)

Shadows

I can’t decide for myself
No one gave me courage when I tried
I don’t see a reason for my life
Who will know the difference when I die?
I don’t have to worry, of things I heard today
I don’t really have the time
And no one seems to care
Ahhhhh….ahhhhhh
Right…………..tonight………..
Can you see the shadows in their eyes?
Can you see the trouble in their lives?
Help me find the words I have to say
Either way, they’re laughing in my face
I don’t have to worry, of things I heard today
I don’t really have the time
And no one seems to care
Ahhhhh….ahhhhhh
Right…………..tonight………..

Heard it all before
That was long ago
Always seems the same
I don’t really care
And I don’t want to fight and I don’t want to cry
You can’t see the reason
If you’re covering up your eyes, though it’s not the same
So, now where do you want to go?
Cause there’s no place to hide
You can’t see the reason
If you’re covering up your eyes, though it’s not the same
See it in their eyes
Don’t they know it’s wrong?
I’ve seen it all before
But that was long ago
And I don’t want to see, just what in the hell is going on
You can’t see the reason, cause you’re never in your eyes
Though it’s not the same
And I want to talk to god, but he’s busy fighting wars
You can’t start a nation if you don’t have enough bombs to rule the world
Prey Together, finding a way (3X)
Prey Together (4X)

Each time I fight the battle, they’ve won again
And I know there is no use in denying, they just can’t win
Oh, won’t they bring my soul-------------------
And they see that there is troubled waters, they move, they cry
And they see this is no tomorrow and they decide
Lord, have mercy on my soul!
And they stand there and ask me these questions
What do I know?
And they see this is just no denying
They just can’t go
Lord, have mercy on my soul!

Please god, forgive me
But I don’t want to fight anymore
I’ve just been watching my life waste away
Now that you’ve lost your way
And I don’t think that you’re going back
Keeping you helpless, keeps me around
And when I’m holding you in my arms
And you’re feeling all is lost
Take what you want, take what you want
Please god, forgive me
But I don’t want to live anymore
Now I’m just watching my life waste away
Hey Motherfucker! Well you just can’t get out when you want
Keeping your promise, keeps me alive
And when I’m holding you in my arms
And you’re feeling all is lost
Take what you want, take what you want

If you could see this other world, what would you feel?
I’ll always see that look in their eyes
It’s time to go
I tried to live a better life, nightmares are real
And no one sees that look in my eyes
It’s time to go
It seems like I’ve been here before
Now I can see it
And now I know that look in their eyes
It’s time to go
They don’t see the loss and they don’t see the suffering
They don’t see the pain and the anger that’s in my eyes
What they do see is the damage that they’ve done to me
They all just stand there and laugh while they watch me die
They all just stand there and laugh while they watch me die
If you could see this other world, what would you feel?
I’ll always see that look in their eyes
It’s time to go

I like the subtle way in which the tracks connect to the album cover, making this resting maiden the center point — calm in the midst of storm. (Just my interpretation maybe but the cover gives extra depth to the music... a softer undertone). The image reminds me of ‘Annunciation’ by Dante G. Rossetti used in ‘Adrenaline’ music video. ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ puts me at peace with big disappointments — a bittersweet musical potion.

Living For Nothing
by Horror Vacui

Living For Nothing finds Horror Vacui in their best form. Songwriting and production here is even better than the excellent New Wave of Fear album and the intricate guitar work makes this their darkest offering so far. Top notch Post-Punk/Deathrock! My blessings.
