1. Apocalypse: Blood and Chrome

[ Jacen and the coming invasion ]

<Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow,

The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe,

May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,

May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.>

What have I done?

Am I a good son?

A good son

Was I meant for greater things?

Have they tied my hands or just cut loose my wings.

Where have I gone?

Lost my path behind and beyond

All I see is red

Not on my hands no -

It's in my head

Is this the beginning?

Is this the end?

All that's come before will come again

Is this the beginning?

Is this the end?

All that's come before will come again

When my time's done

Will I be in the ground or blazing towards the sun?

2. Zorn, die 12 Verbotenen Tone
[ Yuuzhan Vong congregration ]
The first sound swears to the wind.

The second sound swears to the light.

The third sound demands a child.

The fourth sound breaks the ice.

The fifth sound stupefies the senses.

The sixth sound calls the demons to begin the anger.

The seventh sound knocks you from your throne.

The eighth sound enters your heart.

The ninth sound sounds so shrill.

The tenth sound disturbs the nights.

The eleventh sound damns your wants.

The twelfth sound swears to your anger.

The oath of sounds.

The malicious cruelty.

The oath of an evil soul.

The angry, wicked, 12 sounds.

The sick cruelty.

The sick desire.

3. Angel of Doom
[ the destruction of Sernpidal ]
The beginning of the end, dark as clouds of scorn

Pouring out like prophets of doom they do forewarn

The beginning of the end, dark as clouds of scorn

Angels of Doom come calling, with no mercy

No fear, no heart, no judgement, no clemency

Angels of Doom, like evil messengers deliver misery

4. 20 Years of Snow
[ Tahiri Veila, Nen Yim ]
His daughter is twenty years of snow falling

She's twenty years of strangers looking into each other's eyes

She's twenty years of clean

She never truly hated anyone or anything

She's a dying breed

She's a dying breed

She says I'd prefer the moss

I'd prefer the mouth

A baby of the swamps

A baby of the south

I'm twenty years of clean

And I never truly hated anyone or anything

Twenty years of clean

Twenty years of clean

But I got to get me out of here

This place is full of dirty old men

And the navigators with their mappy maps

And moldy heads and pissing on sugarcubes

5. The Red Weed
[ vong-formed worlds ]
Next day, the dawn was a brilliant, fiery red and I wandered through the weird and lurid landscape of another planet; for the vegetation which gives Mars its red appearance had taken root on Earth. As Man had succumbed to the Martians, so our land now succumbed to the Red Weed.

Wherever there was a stream, the Red Weed clung and grew with frightening voraciousness, its claw-like fronds choking the movement of the water; and then it began to creep like a slimy red animal across the land, covering field and ditch and tree and hedgerow with living scarlet feelers, crawling! Crawling!

6. Requiem for the Evil

7. The Gardener
[ the embrace of pain ]

My little misbegotten

You're quite a stubborn bud

If we cant make you open

We will take it out in blood

We'll make a man out of you yet

We will plant brambles in your bed

Just close your eyes and count to ten

This is as good as it will get

Oh is our little willow weeping

Flutter to your knees

The untilled things before me

Oh the possibilities

8. To Nowhere
[ refugees ]

can you hear the calling of the raving wind and water?

we just keep dreaming of the land 'cross the river

we are always on the way to find the place we belong

wandering to no where, we're paddling

down the raging sea

who can cross over such raving wind and water?

on the rolling boat we sit, shivering with coldness

come by an island, come by a hillock,

it's just another place, we paddle on

down the raging sea

but in one morning we'll see the sun

bright shining morning dew singing

they who will search will find the land

of evergreen

can you hear the calling of the raving wind and water?

we just keep paddling down the sea, up the river

no destination, but we are together

in the silent sadness we're paddling

down the raging sea

down to no where

9. A Retinue of Moons/The Infidel Is Me
[ Nom Anor ]

Overhead two sky titans

They collide in slow motion

While over the Ice Tongue, fluid flows

A 1000-foot thick chunk of sediment is exposed

Your own special home

A choking, vapor-laced haze

Obscured by acid rain

Enveloping everything

On the edge of the Milky Way

“It’ll be easy for you to recognize me

By the coils of concertina wire

surrounding my head in a shiny halo

of sharp blades.”

Then it was I

The lone futurist leading scores of resistors

Armed with tridents

But you’re not there

10. A Different Drum

11. Zur Heilung

Christ was wounded

His blood stopped flowing

Do the same, blood

Amen

12. Bachelorette
[ Zonama Sekot ]

I'm a fountain of blood

In the shape of a girl

You're the bird on the brim

Hypnotized by the whirl

Drink me, make me feel real

Wet your beak in the stream

The game we're playing is life

Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight

The tide will show you the way

If you forget my name, you will go astray

Like a killer whale trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders

Burning under your feet

You're the one who walks me

I'm your one way street

I'm a whisper in water

A secret for you to hear

You are the one who grows distant

When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight

The tide will show you the way

If you forget my name, you will go astray

Like a killer whale trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts

One for each that you take

You're the intruders hand

I'm the branch that you break

13. 空気と星 (kuuki to hoshi - air and stars)
[ Jaina, Tahiri, Nen Yim ]

Why is it so

If within this expanse

It is the more beautiful things that break most easily

Rescue me

If you are to change into a spirit

Take me away with you

Unsure of what is to come

I let out a voice while crying

Please don't leave me here all alone

Life is too short and

You are truly gone and

I want you to embrace me again

You were the only angel

The wind blows and I don sorrow

Like feathers and am sent flying away

Air and stars

To a land so pure and unknown to anyone

Where only such fleeting things gather

An undescribable world, a blue and clear light

Everything is delicate like glitter and

What is truly precious

Is unrecognized by anyone and

Is small if taken in the hand and

Is lost and then fades away

Why is it so

If within this expanse

It is the more beautiful things that break most easily

Rescue me

If you are to change into a spirit

Take me away with you

I don sorrow

Like feathers and am sent flying away

Air and stars

To a land so pure and unknown to anyone

Where only such fleeting things gather
