Side Effect CD Lyrics

1. ISOLATION
(music AD& DW words AD)

There's always someone lost and running
Through the bleeding rain
And someone else is shouting loveless
"God, I'm so insane"

Lonely footsteps sound like heartbeats
on the cracking ground
There's always someone lost and only
waiting to be found

Things have just got to get better
They just can't get worse

All I hear is bad news -Social violence
And too many victims
The world is over populated
There's not enough love
And too much Isolation...
Too much Isolation....

2. RITUAL
(music & words AD)

{Within the silence lies the deepest desire
Within the violence lies a vicious fire)

You're going to fall from your heavenly grace
To the universe of dirt on this earthly place
There 's so much madness in your haloed head
There 's a monument to you- and it's based on dread

{Whispered rituals will crack the night
and the ghosts of the takers will fill your life}

The fire in your hand is just waiting to burn
And the black rain will fall when the tide turns
Eyes that are opened wide with delight
Will close with the shock of the double edge knife

3. STRANGE HEAVEN
(music & words AD)

Heaven is a strange place
I hear it in your voice
You can make me do things
Like I have no choice

Heaven is a strange place
Whenever you're around
You know you like the same things
But you never make a sound

There is no solution when you're
running into it and your feet are all wet
Why dream of absolution
When you always want what you get.

Heaven is a strange place
I feel it in your kiss
You know it's something
I cannot resist

There is no solution....

4. VOLITION
(music & words DW)

The sound of a radio
The sound of my heart
Both out of tune and deafening
The strength of my will
The scope of my mind
Are tired too soon and weakening

The slipping of days -Time always tossed
Passing untouched -Left to be lost

One seed - No fruition
One spark - No ignition

5. AFTERSHOCK
(music DW words AD)

What time is it, I said
It's that dreamtime joke again
I've told too much, too much this time
I'll be there - wherever that is

Every day passes like an earthquake

Time only makes me face what's wrong
I can't take this anymore
Darkness is the only relief
From your screwed up belief

Everyday passes like an earthquake

It's only the rain , I'm not crying for you
If I take too long just go on and on ....

6. THERE WAS ...
(music & words AD)

There was a time I heard whispers in my ear
There was a time when I liked it all so near
There was a time when I wasn't so jaded
There was a time when dreams weren't so faded

And now I see it all so clear
As I look through the falling dust
And I run and I scream and I hold and I bleed
On the steel and the rust

And I can hear the footsteps and the strain
And I can hear the bugs in the drain
And I can feel the memories in my brain

And now I see it all so clear...

7. SPIRAL
(music DW words AD)

It seems like a hallway of blackness forever
Some say there's no cure - hey don't say
there's no way
We are running in circles - politics are binding
Losing our best friends- don't say there's no way

Living on time, losing our minds
moving too slow and letting it slide

Cynical whispers, elastic lies
The heat melts the walls and still people die
Cultural cesspools so filled with hate
Skirting the issue- it could be your fate

Don't say there's no way
Living on time, losing our minds
Moving too slow and letting it slide

8. RED, BLACK AND BLUE
(music & words AD)

Their tiny dreams become our nightmares
They want to bend us until we break
But they're just crazy little fascists
And they don't know what is at stake

I hear them yelling hate and useless things
trying to take away my rights
What's it to them who I love and what I do
with my body and my life

And I've stood under the black and the blue skies
And I see it every day
And I know that when I'm fighting for my rights
There's something wrong with this race

There are a lot of little Hitlers
They just go by different names
They run around with narrow points of view
Looking for someone to change

And I've seen all the black and blue eyes
I see it every day
And I know that when I'm running for my life
There's something wrong with this race

9. SLIPPING
(music AD& DW words AD)

Behind this sinful wave of words
More, more, than I've seen or heard
Just say what you want me to hear
Your words leave me bloodless lying here

Losing, losing control
I thought I just wanted you to hold
You just wanted to take me down
Slipping, slipping never to be found

Slipping foerever into this gray
Stay, stay, stay ....

Fiery words (are frozen) behind our lips
Silence is more pain than a crashing whip
Falling, slipping into this dream
Falling, slipping endlessly

Slipping forerver into this gray
Stay, stay, stay......

10. BLACK HOUR
(music & words AD)

There's a dream hanging on your grin
But there's not much coming out from within
It may be in your darkest blackest hour
We all seem to lose a little bit of power

You sold your soul like a slow easy crime
It all seemed so clear so right at the time
And now you stand pulling on your mangled hair
Wondering if you or anyone really cares

{You sold your soul...remember?
That's what you told me... For what?}

There are secrets deep within us all
It may be a strange place you will hear the call
It may be in your darkest blackest hour
You will be on your kness wondering
what the hell happened

You sold your soul... remember?
