Track 1: Welcome to the Greyland
The bells are ringing
Time for service, clap your hands
Ladies and gentlemen
Be clean for this, step lively
Grey pavement, grey skies
Pray for what we say
Be thankful and unworthy
On your knees
and please keep in mind,
there's nothing past the fence,
there's nothing else out there.

A man in cuffs
Lower than dirt, sobbing like a child
Blood on orange, digits colored black
He has a number that he's used to
Skull's cracked, knee's bent (everything aches)
He's been used and violated, (everything's bleeding)
shanked and thrown against the wall (I'm losing feeling)
And here he is
In the pain and the lingering stench
Sad, sad innocent man (there was never any blood on my hands)
Just looking for something to cling to.

Mr. Suit and Tie,
Just arrived
Hungry mouths, baring teeth
Woman's always raining hell
Can't see the road ahead of me
Probably won't fare too well
Somewhere to go,
it's all I need
Driving for days
Close my eyes,
where exactly am I?
"We're both just fine"
I'd like to think,
that I've made a clean get-away
"You and me?"
We just need to get away from this shit
"I'd say it's guarenteed."

I heard a rumor
A little boy, roaming free
He'd set a fire and run
Set a fire a turn away
Watch it burn for the moment,
and settle to let it fall
People keep dying
In a heap by the boneyard
Did you hear what I hear?
It's a daily thing,
smoke keeps rising
Did you hear the news?
It keeps repeating itself
I can't stand it all
Can a boy be such a beast?
There's no love in that direction
It'd be easy to let it go,
these rumors and these whispers
It's just so hard to disregard,
when the alarms keep going off.
---
I'd just like to say,
Welcome, man.
Welcome to the Lord's left hand.
Make yourself at home, my friend.
Welcome to the Greyland.
