Subrosa
Strega
1. Sugar Creek
I know a path in the woodsDon't be afraid; they're only shadowsIt's safer here when there's twoI thought I heard her callingI thought I saw her falling(I swear I saw her falling)You look so levely in the shadowsI've forgotten why I ever angeredI see your eyes in the shallowsHer reflection lies in dirty waterAnd now her body's like an angelNow her body's like an angelAnd now I know I'll never anger
2. Crucible
We´ll scour the ghettosFor the trash of the earthPut em on the frontlineThey won't be missedStep into my crucibleWarm yourself in my crucibleBurn and die in my crucibleWe'll bribe their grieving familiesWith the fat of the landSpread distorted visionsTill they eat from our handThe victims of the system Are the first to be servedTo propagate that systemThey're meat in our millCast into the futile battle In the caste system Of feudal lordsCrying from theBottom of the pileIn the voice of a numberWe're paragons of virtueAnd you are the sameWhen you die in our turnstileWe'll protect your name
3. Christine
Whispers on the back porchThe don't want you anymoreHe beat you till were rawThen he took something moreChristineAt school the girls call you a whoreYour lunch money on the floorBut they look you up and downYou found that you were weakAt forgiving enemiesSo much darkness in that roomNo one gets you, no one couldNever giving inNever again

5. Isaac
He´s a long way from homeAnd the shots cut him him downI saw it in a dream I had last nightI saw the shots cut him downAnd smoke all aroundAnd his broken body lying in the sandThough I know that my son died for a new dayAnd for all the millions that would pass this wayIf God himself should knock on my doorI'd turn him away, say I ain't got no more to giveWell, the prince keeps us downSteals our money for his crownAnd the lies he tells us never go awayIn the darkest nightWe had to stand up and fightIt was that or die forever on our kneesThe day he left for war,Silhouetted against the door, I had to look away and hide my face for shame.
6. Black Joan
Out on the quay Trash for the dayI've got a feelingI can't explainIs it my futureBuried in my past?All that I know isIt might just lastBlack JoanThis begging life keepsOn dragging me downI'm sick of small changeI'm sick of this townGotta find a new wayTo make things rightGotta write my own story;It begin's tonight.Black JoanI hear my train a-cominBlack wheels like thunder rollinWon't you help me pack my backs?I'm leavin and I'm not comin back. DissatisfactionPlagued me all longBut I never felt my lackTill I heard your song.
7. The Hours I Keep
Oh motherOh fatherYou gave me liefYou gave me deathOh motherOh fatherYou loved me wellYou can´t help me nowThere is no escapeDark water all aroundOn the broken bridgeRevere is boundA dead-end mazeDark passagewaysSynapse collapseReality breakIt's morningTwelve hours of sleepYou won't believe the hours I keepA veil is placed before my eyesI can't see myselfI can't see their liesI'm buried in this bag of skinWith sham circuitryWhere do I begin?Oh motherOh fatherYou gave me lifeYou gave me death
8. Go Down Moses
When Isreal was in Egypt's landLet me people goOppressed so hard the could not standLet my people goGo down, Moses, way down in Egypt's landTell old Pharaoh, let my people goSo Moses went to Egypt's landLet my people goTo make old Pharaoh understandLet my people goThus spake the Lord, bold Moses said, Let my people goIf not, I'll strike your firstborn deadLet my people go
9. How To Neglect Your Heart
The laugh at meI´m all aloneThe question meIn jagged tonesThe try to tell me what's trueAnd what's not trueAs if they knewAs if they knewThey tell me how to feelThey tell me what I'm worthThey tell me how I failedAll in their own wordsThe tell me how to loveAnd how to get alongPassion's all rightAs long as it's not too strongHere's how you play the gameHere's how you play your partHere's how you go alongHere's how to neglect your heartFixed lifeLike the starsNever movingNever far
10. Self-Rule
Self-RuleFixed bayonets in the crisp autumn airAnd I have to wonder why I don't even careScarlet epaulets and well-oiled hairI invade the nations of the poorBut I can't fight my own battles, can't find a cureI'll make them feel my rod till they can't take anymoreA cry of war is heard throughout the landBut all I have self-blame on handI'll crush their kingdom with a fistful of sandI'll subject you to horrorI'll subject you cause I can't rule myselfI rule a nationI rule a nation but can't rule myselfFixed bayonets in the crisp autumn airAnd I have to wonder why I don't even careI have to wonder why I don't even care
