CATACLYSM

[Intro]

 

There’s something under the surface

(Look out!)
Burnin’ in the sky like a fireball
It's flying into the furnace

(Get down!)
Rumble underground,

can you hear the call?
(Ooo)

 

The rain doesn’t chase the thunder
The flame doesn’t raze the ground
The change isn’t with the seasons
…lightning never makes a sound
But I hear it!

 

There’s something under the surface

(Look out!)
Burnin’ in the sky like a fireball
It's flying into the furnace

(Get down!)
Rumble underground,

can you hear the call?
(Ooo)

 

The rain doesn’t chase the thunder
The flame doesn’t raze the ground
The change isn’t with the seasons
…lightning never makes a sound
But I hear it! -

There’s something under the surface

(Look out!)
Burnin’ in the sky like a fireball
It's flying into the furnace

(Get down!)
Rumble underground,

can you hear the call?
Ooo

HERETIC'S PRAYER

Abstaining from my mind,
Gasping for broken air
and saying life isn’t fair
- a heretic’s prayer

 

Throw my fate into the heavens;
My mortal dare:
...hoping nobody’s there
- a heretic’s prayer

Ooo...


No heaven, no hell,
just the spaces in between
Is the meaning that I seek
even meaning to be seen?
Oh, no heaven, no hell,
just the spaces in between
Is the meaning that I seek
even meaning to be seen?
I don’t know

Abstaining from my mind,
gasping for broken air
and saying life isn’t fair
- a heretic’s prayer
Throw my fate into the heavens
My mortal dare:
…hoping nobody’s there
- a heretic’s prayer

Ooo...

No heaven, no hell,
just the spaces in between
Is the meaning that I seek
even meaning to be seen?
Oh, no heaven, no hell,
just the spaces in between
Is the meaning that I seek
even meaning to be seen?
I don’t know


 

COME ON HOME

Idlin’ in my car,
never driftin’ where pains are
Can’t see past the dash,
the inevitable crash
Caution down the road
When that fire’s burning, come on home

Livin’ up
Somewhere stuck inside a daydream
Far away
Wond’rin' if I’m ever coming home
‘Cause that place don’t feel like home

Ooo


Come on home, baby

(Oh, can’t you see?)
Leave it all, lady

(Catastrophe)
Now it’s time to be safe in here with me
Come on home, baby

(Come on home, baby)

Looking' down the line

(Hmm)
The way I came's just fine
(Hmm)
Caution down the road
When that fire’s burning…

 

Come on home, baby

(Oh, can't you see?)
Leave it all, lady

(Catastrophe)
Now it’s time to be safe in here with me
Come on home, baby

(Come on home, baby)

 

SUNRISE

Sunrise
Oh tell me when
my eyes should open again
Blue skies await me then;
calling, healing my soul

 

It’s a warm feelin’
A scent in the air
Day’s moment to share
(‘n’) for the time being
No worries or cares
Good omen…

Sunrise
Oh tell me when
my eyes should open again
Blue skies await me then;
calling, healing my soul

 

Taking in sensations under the sun
Hey, an’ everything is okay
Wondering why evening has begun
Hey, it really was a good day

 

But when the sun goes down
and crescent lights
fade away in the night
Can’t even hear a sound
No shadows show
to reveal black 'n' white

 

(But) for the time being
no worries or cares
Light comforts the air
It’s a high feelin’
Potential out there
Good omens...

 

PRACTICE & PREACH

In the echo of your adage
I can hear between the lines
Drop the curtain, now you’ve acted
Hoping they don’t see the signs

 

Drown in your reflection
Can’t pull away from the mirror
Ripples in perfection
Wishing your eyes saw it clearer

 

Practice & preach
It’s just a - It’s just a - It’s just a
figure of speech

You gonna - You gonna - You gonna?
 

In the fog of self-conception
All you see is light divine
Give yourself enough affection
to ignore your clouded mind

 

Drown in your reflection

Can’t pull away from the mirror

Ripples in perfection

Wishing your eyes saw it clearer


Practice & preach
It’s just a - It’s just a - It’s just a
figure of speech

 

[Ahhh]

It’s just a - It’s just a - It’s just a

figure of speech
You gonna - You gonna - You gonna
practice or preach?

It’s just a - It’s just a - It’s just a

figure of speech
You gonna - You gonna - You gonna?

WALK AWAY

Would it benefit me more to stay?

Even though I know that I should walk,

walk away
Hmmm and I may, but every time,

I tend to find something I don’t wanna be;

I can never break away, I stay,

I am not free

Not today, but can I be?
Can I be?

Away, away, I'm walkin' away

Away, away, I'm walkin' away
 

It’s a comfort to me
It’s just somethin’ to be
If I’m trying to find nirvana,

where do I go?
Oh my, will I even know?

 

It’s a comfort to me
It’s just somethin’ to be
If I’m trying to find nirvana,

Would it benefit me more to stay?

Even though I know that I should walk,

walk away
Hmmm and I may, but every time,

I tend to find something I don’t wanna be;

I can never break away, I stay,

I am not free

Not today, but can I be?
Can I be?

Away, away, I'm walkin' away

Away, away, I'm walkin' away

[Refrain]

UNDER THE WEATHER

Put me under the weather
I’d kill for the chills n’ the shakes
‘Cause when I’m feelin’ better
I waste every hour awake

In time, I will be broken
Too tired for the hurry ‘n’ haste
Regret I was awoken
Replay; every day is the same

I struggle in vain
I’m not alright over something inane
(A) step closer to mild insanity

[Vibraphone solo]

 

Put me under the weather
I’d kill for the quivers & quakes
‘Cause when I’m feelin’ better
I waste every hour!

 

I struggle in vain
I’m not alright over something inane
(A) step closer to mild insanity

 

I struggle in vain
I’m not alright over something inane
(A) step closer to mild insanity

Thunder,

can you put me under the weather

for a day, to breathe?
Wind and water,

can you free your daughter

from the apathy?
Thunder,

can you put me under the weather

for a day, to breathe?
Wind and water,

can you free your daughter

from the apathy?
 

(Ahhhh)
 

CALM THE RIOT

Rational riot brain
Tell me I'm not insane
Rational riot brain
Oh, why so profane?

 

Violence in my mind

I’m tryin’ to find the quiet

— calm the riot alone;

carry the burden on my own

Never mind is at ease

I’m weak in the knees, recallin’

- Please! It’s all in my head

Brooding on what I never did
 

How can I know?
What if I don’t?
Ritual rite
The fight or the flight?

 

Oh how can I break?

Away-ken from this
fake misgiving

Oh I might need aid

before I die afraid

of living
 

Rational riot brain
Tell me I’m not insane
Rational riot brain
Oh, why so profane?

 

Violence in my mind

I’m tryin’ to find the quiet

— calm the riot alone;

carry the burden on my own

Never mind is at ease

I’m weak in the knees, recallin’

- Please! It’s all in my head

Brooding on what I never did


….it’s all in my head

[refrain]

 

WEATHERING


[Chant]


Calamity breaks

in cumulus quakes

Experience shaken

Unfamiliar ground
Could not, if I tried

to take it in stride

Yet where do I hide

when there’s no shelter around
 

So I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
Oh I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
 

Hold, like the trees

Make the blow envy the breeze
Rise, never cease

May my strength be my reprise
 

So I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
Oh, I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
 

[Chant]


A flash and a flare
Vociferous air
I feel every hair on my integument proud
But hear me, I swear:
This storm I can bear
For it doesn’t care if I remember the cloud

 

So I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
Oh, I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
 

Hold, like the trees

Make the blow envy the breeze
Rise, never cease

May my strength be my reprise

 

So I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again
Oh, I stand tall and face the wind,

weathering until I am grounded again



[Chant]
