Track Name: Boxmakers
Life has gone astray
for broken men with bills to pay,
enslaved by debt they've grown
from hope... now lost.

They sky is turning grey
obscuring dreams we used to chase,
and freedom feels so very far away.
...so far away.

We are Boxmakers conforming time.
We make the things we need but can't afford to buy.
We are supplier.
We are demand.
We feed the mouth resolving strength to bite the hand.

And we are Boxmen

Purgatorial,
complacency is all we know.
To fight the desperate primal voice inside
we will abide (or die).

We are Boxmakers conforming time.
We make the things we need but can't afford to buy.
We are supplier.
We are demand.
We feed the mouth resolving strength to bite the hand.

We are Boxmakers conforming time.
We make the things we need but can't afford to buy.
We are supplier.
We are demand.
We feed the hope
reserving strength
that given time
this plight will end
and we'll dream again!

And I am a Boxman...
Track Name: Man:Mechanical
I am Man:Mechanical with eyes of light and heart of coal.
I cannot resolve the question:
"Why do they die?"

The humans have come out to play
As lighting cracks the skies of grey
I see them run, I see them hide,
a simple game we play, my friends and I

Soldier men come bearing toys:
Metal sticks for making noise.
They tickle me with little slugs
like white-hot kisses made of love
I grab my toy. I kiss them back.
They all fall down and I just laugh.

------

Beware the Man:Mechanical
With eyes of hate and heart so cold.
You can't run. You can't hide.
He'll find us and he'll make us die.

Far away, fertile womb
Life had just begun to bloom.
Dawning fate
Falling snow
Time that we won't know...

No!
Track Name: URIZEN Has Feelings Too
Young hunks, cyberpunks, and sweet things
Trying hard to change your luck
Baby thugs, bad spuds, and mean things
Living for today or maybe even yesterday

Look around, shaky ground, do the right thing
In this world you're just a guest
Do it now, time's run out for the pig thing
Living for today, stealing from tomorrow

Law and order puppets remote-controlled by greed
And TV preacher robots won't give you what you need
Use your head, sidestep the traps
Snake through the chaos with a smooth noodle map

Besides the king's been dead, they blew off his head in '63!

Big bucks, energy sucks, and dumb things
Make it hard to live and breathe
Add it up, no matter what, there's one thing
Living for today there's maybe no tomorrow

Subhuman bloodless leaders fed on lies and fear
And TV anchor news teams trim all we see and hear
Use your head, sidestep the traps
Snake through the chaos with a smooth noodle map

Besides, God isn't dead, he's in your head
Right where he ought to be!
