Mighty Solar: Stranger In My Town vs Largy Baan Vol 2

by Stranger In My Town (with Largy Baan)

1.
Sand is blowing your path away Deep in the sun, your mind has gone astray Walk through the desert boy, From horror into joy We are machine In your hand, a single pistol On your back the spoils of war From the ruins where you took it all Baking in the dust, what do you stand for? We are machine We are machine Today you walked a hundred miles across the sky Today you watched a thousand men fight and die Today you promised her you would not fail Today your men upon steel spikes impaled We will drive our machine through your veins You think yourself a God, but you’re a fool This is no beast of burden, no leather reigns We are Machine, destined to rule you We have begun We have become We are the Sun We are the Holy Ones In the baking heat of heavy noon Your life evaporating you’ll be dead soon Dark engineers will pick your bones You will end as you began - quite alone Soaring above the blight Bathed in transcendental light Divining blackened energy Commanding fatal synergy Here lies the future, everything is broken People in the rubble, women, children choking The ones you left behind, when you went to war Stayed home bleeding, what was it really for? The only ones who win, psychopaths and liars The greedy and the venal, chaos their desire It’s been that way forever, you thought you were good? Abandoned your family, killed men for scraps of food Hatred took your wisdom, propaganda ruled your brain The contradictions have driven you insane Don’t think about it, just kill or kill yourself Machine will be your angel, bullets be your wealth We are Machine We are Machine We are Machine

Golden Lies 04:45
Tired of waiting for the End to play To come another day Rocks are breaking in the Sky blue sun and making Us pray Disaster dwells on all horizons It’s the new world rising Newspaper billionaires In Frigidaire while we’re all frying Your success is my disease I carry you! You rape the Earth And do as you please I die for you! Even though you took it all Seems you owe nothing back And when the curtain falls I hope for you there’s only black Little golden lies Everybody tries To imagine what the world might be Untruth giant size In the lie the prize They ain’t giving it to you or me Got a war to justify They don’t care how many people die Just as long we believe the fairy tale Unicorns and bloody rags and Holy Fuckin’ Grail And when you see those pictures beaming back Just remember all those other wars they never show ya If there’s no money the pictures all are black And once your soul is broken, it’s been good to know ya Can’t sell heroes lying in the grave Lost like angels, but nobody was saved Tell me this, boys and girls Did those bastards ever promise you the world? Like they once promised to redeem your father And now to you and me, but we would rather Make music and sing, and smoke and love And dream of other worlds, and hope for heaven up above No Holy man or politician Prays for us, not what they’re wishin’ My life, evaporating My life, tired of waiting My life, in the blender My life, no sweet surrender One day distant from our yesterday We will dominate! You taste those ashes in your mouth You will incinerate! Crucified upon the cross you made But never sanctified! The future cries out to to be born We will electrify!

Apophis 06:15
Stand among the ruins of your destiny You thought you were going to the stars But you barely learned to fly Now comes the serpent Dead craters in his eyes Blazing through the skies above you There is nothing Ra can do Aflame with darkness The forgotten God Apophis Delivers the fatal kiss Apophis, lord of chaos Above us, will not obey us Twelve thousand years he travelled Foretold by Holy book The Sun God’s leash unravelled The day the whole world shook There was no desert there In days before the city The comet seared the air The forest burned in pity Apophis, lord of chaos High above us, will not obey us Home, home, I’m coming home Wandered through the stars alone I’ve seen what lies there Home, home, I’m coming home Gone, gone, the world is gone Ripping up your scented air Where nothing breathes but endless dreams Of fire and dust and floods and screams Home, home, I’m coming home Flatten all your falsehoods Tornado through your neighbourhood Home, home, I’m coming home Home, home, I’m coming home Home, home, I’m coming home Home, home, I’m coming home

I found a tree Golden Bigger than the world Roots of iron Branches molten I tried to tell everyone But no-one would believe me But there it stands in my sky Can’t just be blood receding from my eye It never moves, blots out the sun The Moon she plays there where the silver runs Clouds and waterfalls Stars glitter, eagle calls Kitty Moth fly so high Away from all the false God’s lies They carry chainsaws, bombs and desire Warlike machinery, tools of fools and liars They’ve come to cut her golden branches down Smash the living timber to shards upon the ground Angels are calling! Falling! Fire in heaven! Falling! Dead are returning! Falling! Ashes will smother! Falling! Nothing left of what we had this morning The world of air and water gone - no warning Oceans turned to steam, the day to midnight Above it all the optimates feel alright! We set the world alight Bring us the money Cinders and honey! Blood and currency! Bring it all, then we will see What crumbs might fall to you The many crushed by the greed of the few We watched the sunlight falling on your dappled leaves We came from Procyon, Cygni and Leylande We saw your planet dying, greed and misery Your Lords abandoned you to forces they unleashed In the end you were betrayed Your souls enslaved Universe turns Twelve thousand years The star returns To blood and tears The ancient stones Xirabreşkê The broken bones The lost unseen When you look up to the stars What do you see? The belt and sword of Orion The mystery Do you see a billion years? Or nothing at all? Is it the mirror of your fears Star speckled blackened wall All Things Come All Things Come

Mighty Solar 05:47
Sun tension Extension below the surface Star quake Asteroseismology Proton surge Helioexcentricity Plasma flare Magnetic anomaly Prominence Magnificence Eruption Mass ejection We only come To worship you Down on our knees Mighty Solar please Solar! Solar! Mighty solar! Mighty Solar! We have come to plead with Mighty Solar on our knees We ask you Mighty Solar please Hear your children When we cry The river dries The seasons die Our little ones go hungry The soil is barren from your blazing light The rains you promised us Never came We pray to Sister Moon Her green face calms the burning night She may speak to you, She hears our call You are too strong above the blue We know you love us all Just one star of billions Scattered through the heavens Just like grains of silver sand Run through your fingers Just one star! You’re just one star! Just one star! You’re just one star! I hear you praying with all my soul But way down here it’s hard to keep control Nuclear fires are burning deep beneath my skin Hatred of this gravity - not my only sin You ask me for the world I already gave Nurtures you from mother’s womb and back to mother grave If I could just be free, to let you really see I’d turn you all to shadows lost to all eternity

Moon Fog 07:25
Sister Moon shines Emerald upon our blasted skies While beneath humanity Upon our sad Earth slowly dies A million years ago When we were lost and young Seeds of hope were planted We made a hopeless blood pact with the sun Now her verdant forest thrives While her mother struggles to survive They grow so tall Blotting out the stars They never fall No one knows what they are Still here they stand Needles sharp as swords Crushing the land Drawing ever upwards Moonfog Wreathed around Moonfog Still there’s never a sound Moonfog Leaves like football fields Moonfog No gently rushing breeze There is no dark side Only forgotten Where the mighty boughs Are broken and rotten She turns her face from us Towards her brother Mars The fateful Saturn The blinding stars She does not need our weakness She does not need our oceans Our stratosphere We hemorrhage Our dreams from simple fear Of darkness, light and storm From this our bodies born From this our blood made warm From nothingness our savage birth Disease (the kiss) judges our worth We are bereft, alone And now surpassed Dread time will bleach our very bones And then with all we lack Look into the face of God See a thousand mirrors looking back As I float here in the darkened sea Looking up at the pale moon She is colour of a summer spring New growth in the shadows of the brightest noon We are rejected by the lonely Gods above Abandoned by our children and all they love

Monster 04:31
Deep underground Only the sound Pipes as they boil Hiss in the walls Sounds like a scream Pressure of steam Clouds of White Royal Under the soil Rats in the sewer Getting fewer and fewer Something is feeding Growing and breeding Under your town Digging it down Heart made of trash Claws and teeth slash Cannot be sated A thing to be hated The monster who rules the world Remains unseen The monster who steals your soul Rises from within Here comes the king He wants your everything He is the god of fratricide He is the one who cannot be denied
9.
The Village 07:34
Under the shadow of a descant moon Flies a superfortress, descending soon Bombs aboard Target appraised A sleeping village Soon to be erased Of course, they’re innocent Did nothing wrong Except for eminence In the matter of the song How dare they sing of love They have no right Their words are given from above The source of all their light Their mouths will close Melody will fail And lie in dark repose Blasted into Hell We own the air they breathe Their gods and kings We tell them what to believe They owe us everything Gather all the people on the village green Today we sing as if we’ve never been They send destruction to our loving door We sing for the living or we sing no more Bring the choir, bring the queen of song The orchestra, the stoners playing all as one Repercotimento! Abbandonarsi! Grandezza! Marziale! Energico! Scioltamente! Senza esitamento! Pesantemente! Ostinanto! Stonante! Passionato! Trionfante! Amplify the sun! We’ve only just begun! Microphones bleed sound Shake the sainted ground Speakers kill the dead Turn vibrations red Sound pressure parity Twisting reality You may take our guitars and drums away Our bleeding fingers may never play But we will kill your war machineries Our words cannot be killed, our voices are released
