The Great Santa

===Verse 1===

The season of Christmas is nigh once again 
The season of Advent's gone round 
The young ones have handled their pink and white candles 
And presents and pudding abound 

Surely Santa shall visit the land! 
Surely his great revelation's at hand! 
He'll fly on a sleigh without aught of delay 
To satisfy children's material demands 

===Verse 2===

Yes, see how he rides on an eight-legged steed 
From a desolate wasteland where no one has been 
He carries a list, and the good little Christians 
Should pray that their names are all written therein 

He knows who is good and he knows who is not 
For Santa's good gifts are for them that are good 
And lasses and lads who are naughty and bad 
Their sole recompense shall be fire and blood 

===Bridge===

Holy Bishop Nicholas 
Went up to Nicaea 
Punched the heretic 
Gave him diarrhea

Caught up as a god 
To the highest heaven 
Realm of snow and ice 
His to rule was given

===Verse 3===

The judgment which Santa delivers is cruel 
The breath from his nostrils a northerly storm 
The beard on his chin with oil shall drip: 
His holy anointment this task to perform 

Day of wrath! O mourn for the wicked! 
What evils await them on Christmas morn? 
And what rough beast from out of the east 
Slouches to Bethlehem now to be born?

Heart o' Darkness

74.96.89.68: /* Verse 3 */

===Verse 1===

Walkin' to a party on a windy night with the papers blowin' round like autumn leaves 
Street lamp sputters as I see dudes leanin' out of windows smokin' pipes in shirt-sleeves 
There's a lady goin' with me through the narrow streets and I really wanna ask her but I don't know how 
And she's wonderin' what's the matter but I don't dare tell her and I'm wishin' she could see just what I'm feelin' now 
'Cause I got a 

===Chorus===

Heart of darkness 
Woman, can't you see? 
Heart of darkness 
The darkness inside of me 
Heart of darkness 
Something no one's ever seen 
Heart of darkness 
It's impossible to say just what I mean! 

===Verse 2===

Walkin' up the steps and within that moment are revisions and decisions that I could make 
The scene is so familiar, I been here so many times, I could change things up, make a great escape 
But in I go, and I know my life is but a series of conventions I observe as I approach my doom 
And she's standin' there - I wonder, what's she thinking? do I have a chance? and how should I presume?

===Chorus 2===

Heart of darkness 
Woman, is it true? 
Heart of darkness 
Darkness inside you too 
Heart of darkness 
Something no one's ever known 
Heart of darkness 
Livin' as we dream - alone.

===Verse 3===

Walkin' back home - every night, 'cause I never do anything different in life 
The door to my apartment, twenty-three. Memory! You have the key - the last twist of the knife 
Could I have chosen something else, a way for myself, a path leading through a rose-garden wall? 
Wipe my mouth and laugh, 'cause there's no way of knowing where anything is going - darkness all. (Darkness, darkness, darkness, ALL.)

===Chorus 3===

Heart of darkness 
Woman and man apart 
Heart of darkness 
Cry across the abysm of art 
Heart of darkness 
Because I hope one day to see 
Heart of darkness 
And let my cry come unto Thee.

The Ol' Light-Bringer

===Verse 1===

Well I come a long way to get where I am 
Out here on the wild frontier 
Ain't much to see in the nethermost Deep 
'Neath hell and yer darkest fears

I been through bog and I been through steep 
Through strait and rough and rare 
Ain't no man's slave, always made my own way 
And if you get in it, best beware

===Chorus 1===

Surrounded by blackness 
Where angels don't tread 
This ol' pioneer 
Don't feel no dread 
I'm a lone survivor 
Seen my legions fall 
Now I'm out for vengeance 
Damn you all!

===Verse 2===

This wind's blowin' cold and a storm's movin' in 
Gotta rest my tired wings for the night 
But afore I kin land, or understand 
I behold a supernatural light

The sky comes afire with the heat of gods 
And the voice of the Father is heard 
Pourin' forth energies 'cross the untamed seas 
Breathin' form by his Wisdom and Word

===Chorus 2===

Surrounded by wonder 
The music of spheres 
Never seen nothin' like it 
Not this ol' pioneer 
I gaze on this artifice 
A huge machine 
Turnin' round on the Sun 
How I hate thy beams!

===Chorus 3===

Surrounded by misery 
Wherever I go 
A material symphony 
I'll never know 
This brave new world 
Made for somebody else 
Not this ol' pioneer 
Aw hell.

===Verse 1===

Feeling's rising from out of somewhere I don't know 
I can't figure it out 
It's the start of something and it's here for the long haul 
It's taking hold of me now

===Chorus 1===

One sound 
One crown 
Both knees bowed down on the ground 
Can't put it to words, but I began to recite 
One voice 
One choice 
And it's like my thyroid's been destroyed 
Forget the altar and ego, inspiration is striking, and it won't give up without a fight

===Verse 2===

Something's speakin' like the creakin' of floorboards 
I start to tremble and shake 
My old ambitions, I take leave of 'em freely 
I'll do whatever it takes

A single mandate emerging from chaos 
What it says'll be done 
So many idols demanding attention 
But now out of the many is one

===Chorus 2===

One sound 
One crown 
Both knees bowed down on the ground 
The world's coming apart like it were made out of clay 
One voice 
One choice 
And it's drowning out all of the white noise 
Forget the praise of the people, inspiration is striking, so get the hell out of the way

===Chorus 3===

One sound 
One crown 
Both knees bowed down on the ground 
Take your place in the line and submit to the will 
One voice 
One choice 
And I ain't talkin' goddamn James Joyce 
Forget the portrait and artist, inspiration is striking, so stand and be still and be filled

===Chorus 4===

One sound 
One crown 
This ain't no foolin' around 
There's nothing like it on earth that you could pick up and read 
One voice 
One choice 
So move your ass and rejoice 
Forget the gods of the nations, inspiration is striking, here's a creed you need to heed
