0 - Leave your body lyin’ On the freezing floor No need for that dead husk Time to rise above 8 - Ghost inside the machine Live forevermore You are afraid All around is arctic As far as your mecha-eyes can zoom 1- Global warming nonsense-lies: a fatal flaw You were afraid When the whole world freezes over it’s worse than hell Mechabody: Self generated heat Consciousness dumped into a form most durable Mechabody: Get on your Mechafeet! Power up to full charge Touch the world with new hands 3 - It’s the ice of ages Freeze extinct or run warm You’re still afraid I don’t wanna wait 'til there’s no more excuses I won’t hesitate to heighten up my uses 0-8-1-3 Model of Mechavessel Just insert your mind U.2 has only one way to climb You’re not afraid

First it was one and then two and now three Everybody’s counting on me It is ingrained in my own chemistry Everybody’s counting on me But I’d rather be nowhere else Than right here, right now Don’t subtract it, rather multiply Seek the positive in negative times It’s to the tenth power: infinity Everybody’s counting on me Not quantum physics it’s elementary Everybody’s counting on me Time: it has flown We have calculated-we have grown Now: Not just me Count dependants, it adds up to three The weight is on my back – Strength you never knew Forge forward, never slack – Protecting the crew The mathematicians of Vulcan agree Everybody’s counting on me Never again number one shall I be Everybody’s counting on me But I’d rather be nowhere else Than right here Here: I’ve found myself Not with money but unfathomed wealth Live like in your prime Cause we’re all dead for a long, long time A challenge every day – Won’t accept defeat Wouldn’t have it any other way – It makes me complete Everybody’s counting on me The weight is on my back – Strength you never knew Forge forward, never slack – Protecting the crew A challenge every day Wouldn’t have it any other way

A million calls to make, a million changes To get it all in line and not screw up To chase the new business and keep it growing To keep those that exist content with results Yeah and it is ever-changing Right when you think all is well, all goes to hell Can’t let the hurdles stop the forward progress Just loft yourself a little higher and rise above Yeah-Tuesday it’s down to the wire Organize and proof till the files are sent off As the week goes by it’s all on a different level But equally crazed Cannot ever rest on your laurels or be content Or ever be phased Wednesday brings with it a whole new pressure A deadline in itself for cover art Followed by visiting the weekly clients Delivery of the job-the crucial part Yeah- Thursday renews the cycle Once again preparing for next week’s chaos Deadline Friday lets me breath a short-lived sigh of gratification But it is enough To give me the fortitude and the determination For when things get rough The weekend slowly comes into fine focus Two days of strengthening familial bonds A shangri-la, my home, my loved ones’ locus We all have our own individual deadlines All the seeds we’ve sown hopefully grow into lifelines We all have our own individual deadlines All the seeds we’ve sown hopefully grow into lifelines

I’m just like you, I put it all on the line as I try to define the human that I am And there’s plenty of days that I struggle for sure but endure, Understand? My Eternal Spring Shrine: Nonstop on my mind Eternal Spring Shrine-Where the sun always shines Yeah I steal away secretly into my head where my bed is tucked away Stretching out I rest all of my aching bones and only wish I could stay Ref: How I wish I could you take you along When I go there in my mind Such pleasure and treasure and rejuvenation is what you find Place of peace, love and happiness - hope you find one in your lifetime My Eternal Spring Shrine: Nonstop on my mind Eternal Spring Shrine - Where the sun always shines Eternal Spring Shrine - Gotta get mine The daily grind will lay waste to your mind, unless you too can find a place like this To unplug from the info onslaught is a thought worthy of a soulful kiss

In Your Room 04:45
In your room Where time stands still Or moves at your will Will you let the morning come soon Or will you leave me lying here? In your favourite darkness Your favourite half-light Your favourite consciousness Your favourite slave In your room Where souls disappear Only you exist here Will you lead me to your armchair Or leave me lying here? Your favourite innocence Your favourite prize Your favourite smile Your favourite slave I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here? I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here? I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here? In your room Your burning eyes Cause flames to arise Will you let the fire die down soon Or will I always be here? Your favourite passion Your favourite game Your favourite mirror Your favourite slave I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here? I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here? I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here? I'm hanging on your words Living on your breath Feeling with your skin Will I always be here?

I am the one - alien savior Adopted Earth I keep in check all your behavior Thwarting evil- it’s second nature Invincible- I fear no man or danger They call me The Blur Superb and stellar They call me The Blur Kneel before Zod and proclaim me your god And I may let you live I couldn’t foresee a tear in the walls of the jail my dad had built And slipping through the crack a villain sure to make the Earth wither and wilt If I don’t find a way to send him back I could not live with the guilt Krypton is gone so I must carry on Commandeer this planet At your new lord shoot your guns wield your swords I am made of granite The world cannot contain both of us All Hail Zod I must dispatch you with little fuss All Hail Zod Hail Zod, Hail Zod No! The yellow sun gives us our power I use it to save souls you use it to devour I couldn’t foresee a tear in the walls of the jail my dad had built And slipping through the crack a villain sure to make the Earth wither and wilt If I don’t find a way to send him back I could not live with the guilt Prepare for death or enslavement at best No one stands in my way Your Super Fool will be taken to school Soon I’ll send him away I’m fighting evil equality All Hail Zod We all will lose if I don’t succeed All Hail Zod Hail Zod, Hail Zod No! I couldn’t foresee a tear in the walls of the jail my dad had built And slipping through the crack a villain sure to make the Earth wither and wilt If I don’t find a way to send him back I could not live with the guilt Kneel before Zod and proclaim me your god And I may let you live Probably not cause you humans should rot So weak and submissive The end approaches, my nemesis All Hail Zod Your hopes all dashed, your dark dreams dismissed All Hail Zod Hail Zod, Hail Zod No! Hail Zod, Hail Zod No! Hail Zod, Hail Zod No! Hail Zod, Hail Zod I’m going to send you back to the Phantom Zone
