Us and them
And after all, we're only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows, it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The General sat, and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end, it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
(They're maybe gonna kill ya.
So like, if you give 'em a quick, short, sharp, shock, they don't do it again.
Dig it? I mean he get off light, come to think.
Of rationalising it, once.
It's only a difference, but why go and ruin it?
I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they, eh?)
Down and out
It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain't the fire inside?
Let's all go stand around it
Funny I've been there
And you've been here
We ain't had no time to drink that beer
'Cause I understand
You've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky
Like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
Ain't the years gone by fast
I supposed you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?
Funny I've been there
And you've been here
We ain't had no time to drink that beer
'Cause I understand
You've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky
Like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand
You've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky
Like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand
You've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky
Like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand
You've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky
Like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned

I'm sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn I am crying
I long for my time to come, death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
Hate is my only friend, pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary, I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude
Receive my sacrifice, my lifeblood is exhausted
No one gave me love and understanding
Hear these words, vilifiers and pretenders
Please let me die in solitude
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to...
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn I am crying
I long for my time to come, death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to...
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to...
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to...
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
And please let me die in solitude

I have got to change my ways
'Cause I'm losing my mind
I have got to stop drinking
'Cause I'm dying inside
I feel twice as old as I am
And it's getting worse
I'm in the palm of habit's hand
I can't escape the curse
There is nothing that I can do
I have no self control
I have let myself become dead
I have ruined my soul
Every time I wake up sick
I say never again
But then opportunity knocks
And I'm wasted my friend
I can't control my addiction
I've tried time and time again
I'm losing all my friends and lovers
Alcohol knows it's gonna win
Now I have lost everything
And I really don't care
Everybody that I have known
Has out cast me here
Drinking has wasted my life
And I'm dying inside
I feel twice as old as I am
I've lost what left of my mind
I can't control my addiction
I've tried time and time again
I'm losing all my friends and lovers
Alcohol knows it's gonna win

The time has come you must repent
For all your sins you have spent
The rule to beckon now is here
The spark that loads your soul with fear yeah
Your life in chaos no control
The hand beneath it voids your goals
The kindling fire is now prepared
To meet the one who have dared
Oh yeah
You can never win
Pay for all your sins
You can never win
Pay for all your sins like this
You're gunna burn now!
Your can never win
Pay for all your sins

Tears of the feeble, hands of the slaves
Skin of the mothers, mouths of the babes
Building the towers, belongs to the sky
When the whole thing comes crashing down
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
Under the shelf, the shelf of the sky
Two eyes two suns, too heavenly blinds
Swallowing rivers, belongs to the sea
When the whole thing washes away
Don't run to me
I'll be going down, for the rest of the slide
While the rest of you harvest the gold
And the wreck of you, is the death of you all
And the wreck of you, is the break and the fall
I'm the wreck of you, I'm the death of you all
I'm the wreck of you, I'm the break and the fall
Under the red, break of the lights
Heroes in stretches, inch to the site
Blowing to pieces belong to the wind
When the whole thing blows away
I won't pretend
I'll be going down, for the rest of the slide
While the rest of you harvest the souls
And the wreck of you, is the death of you all
And the wreck of you, is the break and the fall
I'm the wreck of you, I'm the death of you all
I'm the death of you, I'm the break and the fall
Behind the blood red break of the lights
Lies the wreck of you for the rest of your life
And the wreck of you, is the death of you all
And the wreck of you, is the break and the fall
I'm the wreck of you, I'm the death of you all
I'm the death of you, I'm the break and the fall

So here we are
True superstars
We're so real from afar and now
Now you're with us, now
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can't break what's already broken
'Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing
The "dream" was a sham
For saving what you can't
And now they're me, but I'm not them
I am you and you are me
It's in the ways I walk through fire
It's in the ways of my desire
And when I said that you're no good
What I meant was, I wish you could
Be there forever
Be young forever
I wish you were there
So now I bid farewell
Beyond the bounds of hell
And now you'll swear you knew us well
Well, you can never tell
And the mouths of babes sing revolution
And the mouths of babes scream disillusion
You can't break what's already broken
'Cause from the mouths of babes comes nothing

Here I am, driving through Japan at night
Here I am, pretending everything's alright
And I've got so far to go before the morn
And I can't believe how much it hurts at home
Here I am, living life inside a comic book
Here I am, bored with everything...
And I can't believe that I'm here to stay
'Cause I never worked it out this way
And I love you more than I can say
But I hate you every other way
Rain, falling down
Rain, falling down
Rain, falling down
Rain, falling down over me
I think I'm closer now
I think I'm closer now
I'm getting closer now
Under the light of the moon
And I can't believe that I'm here to
Stay, 'cause I never worked it out...
And I love you more than I can say
But I hate you every other...
And I'll keep my world from falling apart
In the corner of an aching heart
So say you'll come into the city
Come back with me please...

Time and motion
Wind and sun and rain
Days connect like boxcars in a train
Fill them up with precious cargo
Squeeze in all that you can find
Spontaneous elation
And the long-enduring kind
Time and motion
Flesh and blood and fire
Lives connect in webs of gold and razor wire
Spin a thread of precious contact
Squeeze in all that you can find
Spontaneous relations
And the long-enduring kind
The mighty ocean
Dances with the moon
The silent forest
Echoes with the loon
Time and motion
Live and love and dream
Eyes connect like interstellar beams
Superman in Supernature
Needs all the comfort he can find
Spontaneous emotion
And the long enduring kind

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
Want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my hand like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
Want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes again
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
Here it goes again, here it goes again
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
Want to dive into your ocean
Is it rainin' with you
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like e new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
Want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
Here comes the rain again

You get to do as you please
Why is my life for you to tease
I'm trying to cut this chord
Trust is a luxury i cant afford
Thank you for making me feel my pain
Opening my eyes to see i'm truly insane
I breathe out while all breathe in
Is your beginning my end
If i'm the monster waiting to be
It doesn't give you free integrity
I stay up late at night thinking about what you said
What right do you have to play with my head
I try hard not to hear your voice
Same room, no choice
Another chance to fail
Is wisdom just another name for hell
I still hear the words you speak
Enter the shadow of the weak
Uncertain, the blur in my eyes
I search the truth, it's all lies.

Shower in the dark day clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun breathing life like fire
I thought I was the only one but that was just a lie
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
Pale in the flare light the scared light cracks and disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares the fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
And I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
And I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
July,
July
Now I'm in control
Now I'm in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember your sweet everything
Light a Roman candle and hold it in your hand
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July, yeah

Memory Driven was formed in 2008 by Dennis Cornelius, Chris Greenway, Timothy Mansfield, and Dave Newcombe. Based out of Oklahoma City, Memory Driven is a Doom Metal band that tests the limits of the genre by the progressive, almost experimental writing style and crushing drums with tasty fills and a monstrous sounding rhythm section. Enjoy the dark, melodic and crushing melodies that is MD. ... more

I can’t believe I’m just now finding this band. I lucked into finding them by reading an old interview with The Skull members Eric Wagner, Ron Holzner, and Jeff Olson (All three formerly of Trouble, too). They’ve been broken up for almost a decade now. Such a shame; they should have and still should be HUGE! The vocalist has some amazing pipes! If you listen to the first song and don’t buy it, it’s quite possible you have zero taste when it comes to heavy music.

Fantastic album from front to back! Incredibly catchy, fuzzy riffs, great songwriting and powerful lyricism. A classic of modern heavy psych / stoner music!
