Paganini in a bottle
Variation on a theme
Clockmaker tinkering the model
What does eternity mean?
Tick, tock, tick time's almost gone
Tick, tock, tick the answer's wrong
The eternal question, music to my ears
The eternal question, asked and answered here
Sold his soul to the devil
So he could get back up and play
All alone with the question to wrestle
The saved and damned are the same
Tick, tock, tick you're near the end
Tick, tock, tick try again
The eternal question, music to my ears
The eternal question, asked and answered here
You, in the back, with your hand up
Ask your question...
And they say that love is the answer
The eternal question, music to my ears
The eternal question, asked and answered here

Congratulations, for you have found
A very, very, very, very epic song
And it is my hope, by the end, you'll sing along
Let us go...
Dinosaurs and spaceships, and cool movie scenes
Breaking all the rules, having cool fucking dreams
Getting wasted with your buddies and running from the cops
Dine and dash at the diner, stealin' merchandise from the shops
Smoking heroine in the ally, well maybe don't do that
Having sex with a hot 17 year old, you'd better wear a hat
Dropping acid on a car trip down to New Orleans
Doin' what you want within reason, that's what epic means
Don't you worry, there will be little doubt
If it's epic
Won't take long, won't take long now to find out
If it's epic
Sitting like a Buddha on a spinning ball of dirt
Beating off to internet porno til your wrist begins to hurt
Watching a beautiful sunset on a sandy west coast beach
Saying crazy bullshit at your best friend's wedding speach
Walking into a casino, putting all your chips on black
Convincing human resources that you never smoked no crack
Winning hot dog eating contests by having intestines removed
Telling awesome, epic stories, even if that shit's not true
Don't you worry, there will be little doubt
If it's epic
Won't be long, won't be long now to find out
If it's epic
Don't you worry, there will be little doubt
If it's epic
Won't be long, won't be long now to find out
Prepare for the epic...
You should try everything once
Well maybe not everything...
If it makes you want to stand up and shout
Then it's epic
If it doesn't make you want to pout
It might be epic
Don't you worry, there will be little doubt
When it's epic
Won't be long, won't be long now to find out
If it's epic

This is War...
Hot and dry, the land was stark
Sons of light, sons of dark
Hordes of angels now embark
To punish pride against the patriarch
Now you've fed your spite
And your sins are weighed
Banished to eternal night... forever now a slave
Gone past the mind towards a new causality
And the war rages on
Hear Ye Motherfuckers...
The first ten stand with weapons drawn
Cometh now the Son of Dawn
Can't go back you've gone too far
Behold the Morning Star
The trick was turned and your heart was bent
He turned his back, you stole a feather
Forever beyond repent
Gone past the mind towards a new causality
And the war rages on
And how is the sun so bright within this eternal night?
A war without victors, a war without end
Woke to the dream again
He says the word and it's "dance fucker dance"
Never free from your trance...
You can tangle up your truth but you can't fool me
You can tangle all your words but your wicked shape I still see
The trick was turned and your heart was bent
He turned his back, you stole a feather
And you were sent...
Gone past the mind
Transcend duality
On with the fight
Towards a new causality

Daisy

I heard about your story on the internet
One of those things that was too gruesome to forget
We like to pretend it doesn't exist if we don't see
We like to keep our noses clean
Baby, hell opened up and it swallowed you
Daisy, the world's good at pretending there was nothing we could do
These unseen horrors echo through us all
We wear our blinders, we put up walls
We keep our evil locked in books and art
We learn to plug our ears to the weeping of our hearts
Baby, hell opened up and it swallowed you
Daisy, the world's good at pretending there was nothing we could do
Maybe suffering isn't only yours or only mine
Daisy, evil has been with us for a long, long time
The fight is always on and never ends
We roam the in between where angels can't defend
And every turn we take makes us gods or men
May the hurt I feel for you make me a better friend
These forces may be stronger than we'll ever be
But Daisy you've opened my heart and you've made me see
The only thing between us is what we let there be
And we must choose to love what's lovely

Nunchaku...
Nunchucks are the weapon that you will need when
Enemies simply must be destroyed
If you face off with a stubborn opponent
These are two sticks that you'll want to employ
Walking down the street when the sun go down
You find yourself on the bad side of town
Fools in your face thinkin' they got you
Whap goes the stick right upon his crown
And you haven't a clue (Nunchaku)
They'll turn your face to stew (Nunchaku)
If you only knew (Nunchaku)
And you haven't a clue (Nunchaku)
If you only knew (Nunchaku)
What nunchaku can do (Nunchaku)
If combat's in the cards and can't be avoided
I know an item that's got your back
Give 'em a twirl you won't be disappointed
be sure to make your point with a deadly Thwack!
Fools be like what the heck are you doing?"
When you pull the 'chucks from your fanny pack
They will recognize that vengeance was brewin'
When they wake up laid out on their back
And you haven't a clue (Nunchaku)
They'll turn your face to stew (Nunchaku)
If you only knew (Nunchaku)
And you haven't a clue (Nunchaku)
If you only knew (Nunchaku)
What nunchaku can do (Nunchaku)
Why do you think that the common folk
Refused to mess with Ninja?
Across the waters and across the plains
Better lock up your daughters and store away your grain
Cause when you see 'em coming, your life begins to suck
Because you don't have any doubt
That a nunchuck warrior don't give a chuck!
(Nunchaku)
And you haven't a clue (Nunchaku)
A beating will ensue (Nunchaku)
When you join sticks 'a two (Nunchaku)
And you haven't a clue (Nunchaku)
They'll turn your head to stew (Nunchaku)
If you only knew (Nunchaku)
What nunchaku can do...
Yeah Yeah!!
Nunchaku...

Gimme a Break
04:33
|

Why won't you just quit with your bullshit?
Why won't you just stop the commotion?
Why won't you quit bein' so fake?
And gimme a break
Yo it's Henry Metal with the sweetest rhymes
That you're ever likely to hear
Speakin' about several problems I have
In an effort to make them clear
Punks be sayin' certain things that's gettin'
harder and harder to take
Maybe I should ask them politely if they might not choose
To give me a break
Give me a break Motherfucker
Please don't say the kind of things
That you wouldn't want to hear yourself!
(Give me a break...)
Next time it seems
You need to fuck with me
Why won't you please
Just give me one of these?
Always askin' for money every time my
God damn cell phone rings
Sellin' me filters and cartridges that cost more
Than the fuckin' thing
Playin' the same ten songs every day
Until they make me physically sick
Speeding up just so I can't get by
Cause you're a fucking dick
Give me a break Motherfucker
Don't monetize me
Don't lead me to believe
(Give me a break...)
Next time it seems
You need to fuck with me
Why won't you please
Just give me one of these
Next time you need
To fuck with me
Give to me a fucking break!
Badass Solo
You're searchin' for a sucker
To help you meet your goals
Of rippin' off motherfuckers
To fill your greedy holes
You're headed nowhere
At a most expeditious pace
Quit doin' God's work
All over my fuckin' face
(Give me a break...)
Next time you need
To swindle me
Why won't you please
Cut me one of these
And next time you need
To fuck with me
Give to me a fuckin' break!

When Will It Be Enough?
05:00
|

You told me what to want
And I wanted it with all my heart
But then I got it and it wasn't
What I thought
Why not?
When will it be enough?
I feel it still
When will it be enough?
It never will
And how could you think
These things could really make us happy?
When we've had plenty
And it hasn't been enough already
Oh no
When will it be enough?
I feel it still
When will it be enough?
It never will
Why are we doing this again
When we know that it goes absolutely nowhere
In the end?
I'm tired of hearing that it has to be this way
If it does than I don't think I want it anyway
The future's coming fast and all of us can see
It will be brighter for you and me
When will it be enough?
Can't get my fill
I know that it isn't real
But still I feel
When will it be enough?
I feel it still
When will it be enough?
It never will

Medusa (aka the 'Dus)
04:37
|

There can be no truce
Time to cook the goose
Time to drop the 'dus'
Daughter of Phorcys, with snakes for hair
Turnin' me rock hard with your evil glare
I pull up to your cave in my '06 Ford
From the scabbard I withdrawal my sword
Snake bitch, avert your evil glare
This night your head shall travel through the air
Time to drop the 'dus'
The 'dus'
You've had your chance but you've remained a bitch
And now your head is headed for the ditch
Don't try to wile with your stupid crap
Now it's time for your final nappy nap
Snake bitch, avert your evil glare
When I penetrate your darkened lair
Best ye shut it tightly and prepare
This night your head shall travel through the air
Lizard locks and messed up teeth
You broke your vow to Poseidon, God of Deeps
Fallen priestess it's time to chillax and wait
For Perseus will soon be by to seal your fate
Snake bitch, avert your evil glare
When I penetrate your darkened lair
Best ye shut it tightly and prepare
For this night your head shall travel through the air
Time to cook the 'dus'
