     lyrics from http://home.earthlink.net/~zombiehead,
     with some adjustment


Lights shine from the burning faces 
I don't care if it blinds me
shadows gesture me for panic 
but there's never anywhere to (see) 
flattered from the media sized rages 
never to miss the wicked ways 
not so easy to get fooled 
by emergency broadcast rule 


it's a relapse! 
a point of collapse! 
god bless my soul  
it's up to you to crawl now upon all of us
another message attempt to scare us again 
rejection 
of all of what is said

  
this is only a test 
this life is only a test


I listen to 
only what's discordant like the sting of razor sharp glass 
enjoy the scene of torches burning 
laugh at a poisoned gasp 
sit and watch windows imploding 
flames lick a dozen stars 
discredit any hopeful discerning 
rejoice the thought of future scars
