Sanctum Violation (live rehearsal) 04:39
lyrics
buy track
I don’t remember being guilty Of committing any crime So I blame my past lives (In which I don’t believe). So I blame my past lives. For I need an explanation For the visions that torment me. I close my eyes And seek solace in oblivion. So I blame my past lives. But the doors are never locked When your enemy holds the key: Sanctum violation Of my mind. So I blame my past lives. Sleep Does not relieve me Sleep Does not reprieve me. Betrayal, rape and murder I’ve tasted them all! I’ve taken them all! Violence is the language of my dreams. There is no hero To face Armageddon. There is only lust And the taste of bitterness. There is only lust And the taste of bitterness. There is only lust And the taste of bitterness. There is only lust And the taste of bitterness.

Tightly Controlled Panic (live rehearsal) 04:29
lyrics
buy track
It is doom that I see When I close my eyes and dream. It is doom that I see When I close my eyes and dream. Terror! Panic! Attempts scarred by futility Escape is not an option in this crowd. We huddle and cry The tears of the wretched Streaking through the torn sky. Breathe deep. Impose your will upon chaos Pushing against this enveloping Darkness begins to smother them…darkness! We have not the strength For the impossible demands of continuity So we flicker and exhale The last breath of humanity And I wake Sweating …I wake sweating …I wake sweating …I wake screaming!

The Road to Olduvai (live rehearsal) 05:20
lyrics
buy track
The Road to Olduvai, dried by fear Lies barren before me. Without energy Drawn from the bones of the dead, Retrace your steps Return through time Trudge with defeat writ in your eyes Now you’ll cry…cry… Sorrow Grief Olduvai greets. Crawling through your mind The Mycenaean decline, See the weave Repeat. Without energy The peak has passed, the slope descends. Struggle to stand, now on your knees Slide to the gorge at Olduvai. Now you’ll cry … cry … Sorrow Grief Olduvai greets You now.
