Outlands 04:15
OUTLANDS It starts here With a different train of thought too strong to be derailed Collect yourself and lets slip away in search of untapped trails A bleak expanse Filled with broken wills surround us from all sides Overt your eyes Or remain with the herd till the four horseman arrive One careless glance And we're dragged back Don't let inherent fears distract For this perception I would give everything Hold onto me As we push ahead through a land that's been bled dry That seamless zone Where horizon blends with sky is set within our sights This harsh terrain Begins to change And along the way we'll do the same For this perception you must give everything Up ahead lies our sacred place Escape this godforsaken waste Salvation waits to be embraced Where thoughts may breathe in shielded grace It's not too far It's not too far It's not too far It's near Blink and you'll see Discoveries That our restless souls will soon achieve For this perception we must give everything For this perception we will give everything Up ahead lies our sacred place Escape this godforsaken waste Salvation waits to be embraced Where thoughts may breathe in shielded grace Up ahead lies our sacred place Escape this godforsaken waste Salvation waits to be embraced Where thoughts may breathe in shielded grace It's not too far It's not too far It's not too far We're here Words and music by Pete Derek

HEDONIST BLUES I've embraced a new philosophy, that sets free The shame we're taught to feel I've now released It's not for others to define Their narrow burdens are not mine Or their hypocritical beliefs, they've ceased The moral crime Would be to fall in line There are countless pleasures to pursue, pursue Yet the years we're given are too few, too few Shrug off doubt, step up, and seize this day, this day And take it in before it slips away, away Where instinct and imagination goes, who knows But where it leads, I'm sure to follow close The sex, the arts, the sights and sounds Profane to sacred, all that surrounds I'll search all avenues till they're exposed, exposed To guide this lust In passion I will trust There are countless pleasures to pursue, pursue Yet the years we're given are too few, too few Shrug off doubt, step up, and seize this day, this day And take it in before it slips away, away Simple content is not enough The volume expelled must be turned up It must be stressed There are no fond regrets There are countless pleasures to pursue, pursue Yet the years we're given are too few, too few Shrug off doubt, step up, and seize this day, this day And take it in before it slips away, away...

CHROME HARD LOVER MAN I am, I am The chrome hard lover man I am, I am The chrome hard lover man Making my presence known Sleek and debonair with a thousand yard stare Kerosene for blood Testosterone levels cutting through the air I'll bring you up to my speed Adversity has hardened me to be this strong From a baptism by fire And a frigid cold reception given from then on I am, I am The chrome hard lover man I am, I am The chrome hard lover man This frame was forged Being punished by the elements of brutal life But I shine this time If you don't want to be a casualty then step aside Just watch the woman fall Overcome with ecstasy as I appear I will handle them all Cause what I can do in moments Other men can't do in years I am, I am The chrome hard lover man I am, I am The chrome hard lover man My mind's made up to stand my ground Defiance is a science that I've got down I've got a steel resolve I am, I am The chrome hard lover man I am, I am The chrome hard lover man...

THE ABSTRACT SET You're invited in Because like me you seem To be caught in between Societies extremes We are the dissidents That weathered through the storm Camaraderie has kept us warm Now it's time to rise We've slept too long Prepare to galvanize And soon it's realized In the land we seek Our minds run free But first we force the key And step inside The outside We're set to ride Against the grain The sparks that fly Ignite the flame That spreads so wide It won't be tamed Then hold court over Those who would oppress Lay down the law so The persecution rests The old system has stalled From views sepia tinged Denying all the progress made in Existing on the fringe This dark age intends To blacken out our dawn But foresight's looked upon The renaissance that's coming on Prepare to galvanize And soon it's realized As we walk we feel Antique ideals Shatter beneath our heals Then step inside The outside We're set to ride Against the grain The sparks that fly Ignite the flame That spreads so wide It won't be tamed Then hold court over Those who would oppress Lay down the law so The persecution rests Step inside The outside We're set to ride Against the grain...
