A Life's Work, Pt. 4 (The Suffering Joy)

歌詞

a) Prospects In Progress I was never made for school Too independent. But then I learned to bend the rules. To rise above that noble deed Of being a part of this game for losers Game of fools Money talks! And to justify that deadly sin they call greed, your bonds & stocks we must multiply. 25% - is my small fee Come in and sign! I've been waiting for so long for this moment it's like a dream that's come alive. I buy - I sell...I leave the clients with just a fragment.... I'm on my way to better times. Don't tempt me now! There's an ocean that's peaceful and endless Don't tempt me now I've seen our future to be Don't tempt me now! Take my hand Walk away from this madness Don't tempt me now! Your love is all I need Wherever you are, no matter near or far, Whatever you say, your sins won't fade away. The road to hell is paved with good intentions... Do you know where you are? Be sure not to hate the beast you now create Your kingdom today may become your hideaway, where the saints and all the demons you employ reveal your suffering joy. In my dreams both sing to me a choir of angels and the devil's kin in confrontation...of good and evil where no-one can win. My flesh is weak - is that a sin? Let the battle begin! Take a bite...just a little bite And another bite...just a little bite Wherever you are, no matter near or far. Whatever you say, your sins won't fade away. The road to hell is paved with good intentions... Do you know where you are? Be sure not to hate the beast you now create. Your kingdom today may become your hideaway where the saints and all the demons you employ reveal your suffering joy! b) A Brand New Day - Revisited Scrutinize your mind boy tell me what you see. I did it for too long look what became of me. Ideas of right and wrong all in a haze... Till the answers made the questions fall into place. The fears and doubts in life Create the demons we employ It's a brand new day In a brand new world There's love There's hate There's no denying We love this suffering joy! It's an all new song In an all new play Wherever we are, no matter near or far, Whatever we say, we may stand accused one day, for our sins, greed and delusions. And you know who you are! Be sure not to hate the beast you might create Accept or debate true forces of fate. Life is not a one-way destination It's filled...with suffering joy!
