## Lyrics

```
    It's alright to cry
    It's alright to lean on everyone
    It's alright to lie in the bed you've made for everyone

    If you ever need someone,
    If you ever heed someone
    If you ever need me babe, I will be there.

    It's alright to die
    It's alright to bleed on everyone
    It's alright this time
    It's all life, you learn from everyone

    With every single time you go
    Every single line you blow
    Anytime you need it man, I won't be there
    Hi-ah, hi-ah

    It's all going away now
    All going away now
    Going, going, gone
    Going, going, gone

    It's alright to cry
    It's alright to feed on everyone
    It's alright to hide,
    In your cozy bed from everyone

    So if you ever need it man
    Get inside and be it man
    Anytime you call (call)
    Suffer!

    Feed it man
    Don’t feed it man
    Don’t feed it man
    Don’t feed it man

## Lyrics

```
    [Little boy:] Mommy, mommy, is he really here? Is Ziltoid really here?..
    [Little boy's mother:] Yes he is... in fact. THERE HE IS NOW!!!

    Dominate, dominate, dominate...

    [Captain Spectacular:] As your elected representative, I, Captain Spectacular,
    have the distinct honour of presenting to you the intergalactic sensation...
    ZILTOID THE OMNISCIENT!

    [Ziltoid:] Yes...

    So the mourning comes alive, now I can fly...
    Go, dominate their lives, I cry, but never forget this warning:
    I cry out loud, show me this chosen liar.

    Liar, liar, liar, liar... never!

    [Narrator:]
    Humans are a strange species, equal parts good to evil, and at this time in
    their development they're not ready for interactions with other life forms.
    His appearance, and the reality that Ziltoid is from another planet, has
    thrown their primitive society into mass hysteria!!!
    He is being revered as a God... for now...

## Lyrics

```
    Loving you is the best thing and the worst thing in my life.
    Loving you is entire.
    And loving you is the one thing that I need right now...

    Center the morning light where the world's so bright and high.
    Where even the gods outside can wait a moment guy...

    And loving you is entire.

    Loving you is the best thing and the worst thing in my life.
    Loving you is entire.
    Loving you in the morning is a warning...

    Say we will wallow away in a world so mild and high.
    Stay till the morning and that world might just get by...

    'Cause loving you is divine!

    If only the morning would come and the world would be old and wise!
    Love in the morning with this halo all one size.
    'Cause even the gods outside can wait a moment guy...

    Loving you is divine!

## Lyrics

```
    I watch you
    In my silence
    I was you
    Last grey morning
    I want you
    And I cast you
    And I face disaster

    I ask you, being man
    I have less use for dignification I know,
    In myself, I defy,
    Yet I fall to instinct primitive
    Am I here? Is this home?
    ...better run from myself, better run...

    I want you
    Silently forgiven
    I want you
    The pain bestowed

    I feel a change in the air,
    Outstretched to God,
    He fields the suffering
    A feeling close to me, who closes in?
    I knew I didn't have to go
    Feeding stop the hunger flat, low, living,
    Caution for a lunatic...
    Left her behind, god-damnit
    She didn't have the luck to follow

    Well here's a little lie about the man she stole away
    'Night within a soul cries 'hallelujah' when your drowning'...
    Once, fast below, woman... It's fault is not your own,
    And as you are to my world, my world shall always be to you,

    you fucker...

    Feed me,
    Woman...
    I want you.

Go, light a fire…
And sing what you desire!

Gotta have a good good life…
(Gotta have a good good life)

Her hair's like the burning sands
You'll give her your heart in hand
Her beauty's beyond compare, but woe to those who've seen her

Time has come for you to feel your life

Got a little doggie and he's full of the woof woof!

Shine on the Borderlands!
She shines like the galaxy, but woe to all who fear this

Gotta have a good good life…
(Gotta have a good good life)

So far!
So far!
So far, everything!
So far, everything!
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)
So, follow everything
(Men will be men)
So, follow everything

Men will be men!

She said, 'Touch me.'

I wanna wake up where you rise
I want to take you to the light
With all their frantic run around
And all they want is to be found

I wanna wake up where you rise
So long eternal paradise…
Two other worlds which w were bound

…Now they are dust upon the ground

Life… it's tragic
It's life… it's tragic

It's life! It's magic!
It's life! It's madness!
It's life!
It's life!

There's a sign on the Borderlands!
It says, 'Shine like the galaxy and woe to all who fear this.'

Sign on the Borderlands!
It says, 'Shine like the galaxy although no one will hear this.'

Sign on the Borderlands!
It says, 'Shine like the galaxy and woe to all.'

## Lyrics

```
I feel for you
Mother
No one sees and no one comes
Thoughts surround you
Born to lose
Nothing would
No one would treat me better
I said nothing would
No one would treat me better

I see you looking down
Crushed leaves and butterflies
Say one
Been through in my hotel
As I roam
If you walk away
You close the door
And if you would
No one would treat me better

Here I am
This man
We all
Recall
I am
And we fall
'cause I
Recall
Recall
I am

We are the children of the world
Complacently in time
And if this world would ever crumble
I show it all just what we find

We are the children of the world
Complacently in time
And if the world would ever crumble
I show it all just what we find

Here I am
This man
We all
Recall
I am
And we fall
'cause I
We fall
Recall
I am

Here I am
This man
We all
Recall
I am
And we fall
'cause I
We fall
Recall
I am
Here I am
This man
We all
Recall
I am﻿

See-saw, I'm a see-saw. But I'm alright.

And I write for me, please let the feelings go

(Open the door)
May I never fear again. And I write...
Dive into the river where the free are free to roam and we already know
And we already know...
SO WHEN YOU'RE DONE FOLLOWING: THE OCEAN CALLS YOU

Out there...anybody out there? Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?..Anybody out there?

So the wind blows, so the years go.

And I write for me, please let the feelings go.
Hope is in the world! Hope is in the world!
Hope is in the world! Hope is in the world!

Ghost²

***Ghost²*** is a partially released Devin Townsend Project album, a sequel to the first *Ghost* album from 2011 collecting the remaining material from the sessions.

## Background

*Ghost* was originally to be a double album, but was ultimately released as a single disc; *Ghost²* would have included the leftover material written and recorded at the same time. Townsend has stated that these tracks were "too dark" and "heavier" than the rest of *Ghost*, which didn't fit the vibe of *Ghost*. *Ghost²* was originally to be released in September 2011 and its first half was included as an MP3 download for customers who preordered *The Calm and the Storm* bundle of *Deconstruction* and *Ghost* through Century Media.

Its intended second song, "Drench," was shared by Townsend on his official SoundCloud account. Later, Mackie Gear posted the intended fourth track, "Fall," on their SoundCloud.

On August 22, 2012, Townsend officially cancelled its release altogether, saying, "I tried to finish *Ghost²* the other day, but it's not solid enough. Doesn't engage. Going to use the best bits and art for elements of *Z²*." Some of these songs were eventually released on *Contain Us* and the bonus disc included with *Casualties of Cool*.

## Intended Tracklist

All songs written by Devin Townsend.

1. "Radial Highway"
2. "Drench"
3. "Mend"
4. "Fall"
5. "Watch You"
6. "Moonshine"
7. "Perspective"
8. "Coming Home"
9. "Saloon"

No Sleep 'till Bedtime

***No Sleep 'till Bedtime: Live in Australia*** is a live album by Canadian extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad, recorded in Melbourne, Australia, on October 12, 1997; however, the live tracks presented here are the only ones recorded before the tape ran out. The title is an homage to and parody of Motörhead's *No Sleep 'til Hammersmith* live album.

## Hevydevy.com description

> *On our first trip to Australia, we had such a good reception, that I convinced our front of house guy to record our Melbourne show onto ADAT. It was not a plan of the label or band, it was just a whim. I took the tapes home and re-recorded the shitty parts (a lot of it) and mixed it in my friend’s basement. At that time, I presented it to the label and asked if they wanted to put it out, and obviously they said yes. A fan in Australia did the artwork, and the project ended up as a 'bonus' for the label that I think turned out ok.*
>
>

## Background

"Japan" and "Centipede" are studio recordings, each a Japanese bonus track for *Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing* and *City* respectively. The introduction of the show is the vocal tracks from the end of "In the Rainy Season" without accompaniment.

The liner notes explicitly state the live recordings have been supplemented with studio overdubs. Because of the increased production quality, it can be difficult to tell these versions apart from their album counterparts; only the extra comments by Townsend and manner in which they segue track-to-track are clear delineations between versions.

This is the first appearance of the song "Far Beyond Metal," a tour-exclusive song until it was properly studio-recorded for *The New Black* in 2006.

The Japanese release came in a limited edition box set. It includes four bonus demos recorded at one of Devin Townsend's friend's living rooms in LA, which were later added to the 2007 reissue of *City*.

## Track listing

All songs written by Devin Townsend.

1. "Velvet Kevorkian (Live)" (2:42)
2. "All Hail the New Flesh (Live)" (5:24)
3. "Home Nucleonics (Live)" (2:24)
4. "Oh My Fucking God (Live)" (3:40)
5. "S.Y.L. (Live)" (4:53)
6. "In the Rainy Season (Live)" (5:29)
7. "Far Beyond Metal (Live)" (4:46)
8. "Japan" (5:17)
9. "Centipede" (7:55)
**Japanese limited edition longbox**
10. "Home Nucleonics ('96 Demo)"
11. "Hedrhoid (Gunt demo)"
12. "Detox ('96 Demo)"
13. "AAA ('96 Demo)"

As I go through life in search of everything
I have wished my heart away
I have watched this all behind a fear of pain
No one knows this more than I...

I need one more to take it home now
I've got no more to turn the page
...Please, I love her

Jaya siya rama, jai jai hanuman
Jaya siya rama, jai jai hanuman

Have I told you lately all that you mean to me?
Have I told you that I love you?
Have I called to say I'm sorry I made you feel this way?
Even told you that I care?

Just need one more to take this home now tonight
I've got no war to fuel the rage
Just need one more to take this home now
I've got no more to fear the pain

I love her

Jaya siya rama, jai jai hanuman
Jaya siya rama, jai jai hanuman

(Hare rama rama rama, seetaa rama rama rama)

    They took their things and headed for the coast
    Denied of all in life they needed most
    Love's forgotten child
    born into the wild

    Come to the coast, come to the coast, come to the coast
    come to the coast it will find you...

    The fallout from the California glow
    Toronto's frozen over, this every man should know
    I've forgotten now
    Won't you show me how?
    Come.

    So run away, so run away from here.
    Just run away, just run away my dear...
    'Cause love's forgotten child...
    So go into the wild
    ...Come.

    Somebody took me away...something controls me...

Carry Me Home

**"Carry Me Home"** is the tenth track from **Nightwork** by Devin Townsend, released October 28, 2022.

**Song Credit**

Words and music: Devin Townsend

## Lyrics

```
Oh, here we are alone.
The kids are gone, so just put down the phone.

And on and on and on and on.
The will is there, but the thrill is gone.
But oh, I hope you understand.
I still love you now the way I did back then.

So on and on and on and on we go.
The nights are long and the lights are low.
Cause it's so hard to live, when it finally starts to give.
On our own we try to keep this on the go.

And the nights go by, and still we try to keep some sense of this:
Home, on the way home.
And I wonder why I ever left at all.
Carry me home, all the way home.
Let's simplify and get right back to it all

Cause it's so hard to give when it's hard enough to live
And you wanna die, defeat flat on the floor.
Well the nights go by, and still we try to keep some sense of this: give me hope.
Home, on the way home
And I wonder why I ever left at all Carry me home, all the way home
Let's simplify and get right back to it all.

Carry me home... Carry me home... Carry me home...

Laides and gentlemen, goodnight

    Praising yourself,

    Point blank when you hear what I say
    No way you can wash away nature...
    Do you know what you're doing...
    Do you know what to say?

    Dripping... Seeping
    Dripping... Leaking
    Dripping... Cabbages

    Grazing away
    Do you know what you're feeling?
    You fool... do you know where you lay?
    I'm gone, there's no answer... it's over
    Do you know what I'm saying...
    Do you know what I'm saying?

    Dripping... Gigbutt
    Dirt Pride... My pride
    Dripping... Bunksock

    Bathe... Bathe...
    Commiserate...Commiserate...

    I'm not about helping hopeless
    Bored when I wash them away...
    Internal a body at war with itself
    And the bleeding I do... it's for me

    Dripping... Seeping
    Dripping... Leaking
    Dripping... Cabbages

    Bathe... Bathe...
    Commiserate... Commiserate

    Praising yourself
    Do you know what you're doing?
    Point blank when you hear what I say
    No color, no code, no creed... WAR

    Wash my fucking balls

```
Darkest night is here again
Haunting in our name
Oh my darling hear me now: Things are not the same

Golden songs and violent minds, haunt my daily plow.
Please be gone lest I decide why, when and how.

She left me in a ball of rage Oh, to see her now...

All the years through quests for power. Give me back the now.

Golden songs and memories, haunt my feelings now.
Please be gone let me decide why, when and how.

take your leave from me: spirits of the gloom. Blood runs cold and in your veins
See beneath the moon.

Now I have you in my power.
Recant the wedding vow.
I have grown much stronger now, strong here and proud.
Violent mind, children of the now.

Now be gone lest I decide, why, when and how.

    Or float me down
    To my reaping.

    Paint the streets red
    With my decision.
    Feed the pigeons
    With my collision.
    I am beyond all this.
    I wash my hands of it.
    This is my request:
    Wish me the best.

    Now I’m fall all the way
    Now I call the way
    I call all the way, Ave Maria.
    I wanted to say
    How much I miss you now,
    And so it goes.
    How much I miss you now,
    The window…
    Oh, throw me out.
    I’m flying…
    Or float me down
    To my reaping.

    How bad I miss you.

## Lyrics

```
    How many times must we live through this dimension
    Only to mourn many lives we have lost
    To be someone is our only directive for the way

    How many souls must we fall into the depths of our creation?
    We're willing again!
    Fallen brother, fallen for the world

    Universal minds call you, universal mind...
    All men, all women, and all who've gone!

    So many people will try to live
    Only those who surrender begin to live!

    Even through death, even through love
    Even through honesty and togetherness!

    Look 'em straight in the eye!
    Look them straight in the 'I know why'

    How many times must we live through this dimension
    Only to mourn many lives we have lost
    To be someone is our only directive for the way

    I know why!

    Universal minds call you, universal mind...
    All men, all women, and all who've gone!

    We've gone!

    [Narrator:] Thus ends our story. This is the end...
    Or... is it?
    Far from the earth in a distant nebula, we now find
    a lone moon... Barren... Isolated...
    Through the wormhole Ziltoid has awoken,
    seemingly alone on this trance moon made of bones
    and dust. Only he is not alone... The only other thing
    on that planet is the war princess, and one solitary bag...
    of coffee.

    … To be continued.

    Hope

    Every night, every day
    Every action in every way
    I am everything that you want me to be
    Watch me learn

    I am what I've become because I have no hope
    No faith in your hope

    Hope

    Every day and every night
    Infinitely moving through every finite
    I am everything, I am everywhere
    Watch me burn, watch me learn

    I am what I've become because I have no hope
    No faith in you
    And we are not the same

    Fire

    We're a part of your life right now

    I am what I've become because I have no hope
    No faith in you
    And we are not the same

    Because I am what I am
    I have learned
    Respect

    I will always love you
    …if you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in line

Lay waste to a feeling
Lifetimes old
Lay awake at night
Afraid of everything that you know

Brave face to a new world
I know you - lay awake at night
Afraid of everybody you know
So goodbye to everything that you know

Sing:

I am now with the mountain
I am now home

Be afraid of the right God?
Shame on you!
Lay awake at night
Ashamed of everything that you do...

Stay in bed till you know when you're gonna,
Put this into motion
Or lay in wait for more -
The mother of the venomous core
...just say goodbye to all the things that you fear

Sing it:

I am now with the mountain
I am now home
I am now only wandering
I am one with the world's heart

Golden you, go and fly...

When we last met who was I?
I'm sorry we no longer see eye to eye
The energy to keep you in while keeping myself out
I'm sorry how you'll take this
But I just don't have the patience anymore

Turn away, turn away!
Go through the fire!

I am now with the mountain
I am now home
I am now only wandering
I am one with the world's heart

For this, I will keep wandering!

    When they're starting to go...

    And you, make all my words go away
    And you, take all my time
    But you, make all the hurt go away
    And all I can say it it's day
    After day, all I know...

    Fine, fine, fine

    So you, make all these dreams go away
    And you, help me do time
    Can you, make all the love go away
    ...'Cause all I can say is it's day
    After day, god I know

    Fine, fine, just leave me alone
    Just let me go away
    Just go away

    Just go...
