## Lyrics

```
    Who's the weakest now?
    Caught up in the wire
    I'm already gone
    Who's the weakest now?

    It's the grey days that
    I'll remember the most
    It's the grey times in the water
    Before morning

    I won't be alone
    Think of me at night
    Send my love to home
    I'll be alright

    It's the grey days that
    I'll remember the most
    It's the grey times in the water
    Before morning

    And it's only tonight that
    I'll be able to leave
    And it's only the weak
    That cry for me in morning

    Because tonight there will be no sleep
    Tonight it comes for me
    Please, help them understand
    I've become the voices in the fan

    Goodbye

```
    Analyze the compromise
    Career is why I think or say the things I do
    Relationship in honesty, so here's a little story for you;
    Met a girl, I met a girl at random,
    Random is as random does
    Justify don't ask me why...why?
    Just because.

    I'm acting like a day old male
    Day old female

    Oh, oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh

    Saturday, another day, and life's a little give and take
    Take and give
    I'm staying home, I'm sorry boys I'm a little sensitive
    But still you're saying;
    "Faggot is as faggot does with every little faggot thing a faggot do"
    I'm not insane, I'm not insane...I'm just smarter than you.

    You're acting like a day old male
    Day old female

    Oh, analyze. Oh, compromise.
    Why?

    But I'm loving
    And insecure
    And just a little bit violent
    But I know for sure,
    I'm here to be your entertainment
    I'm here, for your unbridled entertainment
    So let's go.
    Far away, in fantasy
    Don't get me wrong I like it too and feel it too
    But understand that man or woman, I don't want to sleep with you.
    'Cause power is as power does
    With every little power trip we pull because;
    It's all inside our selfish pride wanting the control of it all
    (Controlling it all! Control emotion!)

    Day old male
    Day old female

    Oh, analyze. Oh, compromise (compromise baby...)
    Why?

    I don't wanna save my soul now
    I don't wanna lose control
    And even if it takes a lifetime to learn
    I'll learn.

    Don't fall in line, if you're thinking that you're gonna...
    You should maybe think about a reason in your own mind
    You've already gone
    Evolve.

    I don't wanna save my soul now
    I just wanna lose control
    And even if it takes a lifetime to learn
    I'll learn… I'll learn…

Words and music: Devin Townsend

## Lyrics

```
Stuck in a rut again
But there's no place that he'd rather be in
But he's lonely, he's lonely

Talking about the kids
And wondering if he's gonna leave

And it's only Tuesday

Let's go on vacation today
Marooned here on Castaway Cay
And the winner takes it all again
Winner takes it all

Somewhere that she's never been in
Somewhere right out of a vision

Where it's alright...it's alright

Stand out under the stars tonight
The kids all good and the world's alright
And it's alright

It's alright

Let's go on vacation today
Marooned here on Castaway Cay
And the winner takes it all again
Winner takes it all

Stuck in a rut again
But there's no place that he'd rather be in
But he's lonely, he's lonely

Let's go on vacation today
Marooned here on Castaway Cay
And the winner takes it all again
Winner takes it all

Your heart beats in frozen waves
Shakes your faith until it falls away
You dedicate your life
Just like you medicate your brain
And you should have saved your light
Cause it was all a game

The waiting kind
The waiting kind
The waiting mind
We'll wait in line
And all our lives
Will disappear
Through all the fear
The ones will be here to remember

Fall back into fallen waves
But crazy lies lead to crazy ways
But it shouldn't mean your life
When your flat out for the wave
And you couldn't see your light
Cause it was off and on

The waiting kind
The waiting kind
The waiting mind
We'll wait in line
And all our lives
Will disappear
Through all the fear
The ones will be here to remember

We'll wait in line
And all our lives
Will disappear
Through all the fear
The ones will be here to remember

Your needs keep your calls away
But crazy nights lead to crazy ways

The waiting kind
The waiting kind
The waiting mind
We'll wait in line
And all our lives
Will disappear
Through all the fear
The ones will be here to remember

The waiting kind
The waiting kind
The waiting mind
We'll wait in line
And all our lives
Will disappear
Through all the fear...

I wanted everything...
The words will be burning forever

## Appearances

The original album version. It proceeds directly from the end of "Dynamics." Due to the pregap of silence between the end of the song and "Noisy Pink Bubbles," CD ripping software appends the gap by default, thus showing a song length of 6:58, the extra 0:58 being completely silent.

The original album version is used as an introduction to this concert, played over the PA. It fades out once it reaches the first break so the band can proceed into "Seventh Wave" live. "Unity" proper has never been played.

## Lyrics

```
    Life, it's all life
    It's all alive
    It's alright now
    We're home

    It's all lies
    It's a life
    It's all right, now we're home

```
    Hey,
    Flow the waterways of letting go
    Another day...
    Permanently allocate the maximum
    And leave it to go...
    Change,
    And leave without a trace for her to know
    A hollow day
    Slow it down evenly paced, you've never known
    And leave them alone

    Hey,
    Tell me there's a lot of ways I need to know
    Another day,
    Terminally out of phase and ill disposed
    Just leave it alone

    Sane,
    You can teach a man better to view with loose control
    Another way...
    You pick your point, settle to be and let things go...
    Just leave them alone...

    Hey,
    Tell me there's a lot of ways I need to know
    Another day...
    Terminally out of phase and ill disposed
    Just leave them alone.

## Lyrics

```
You know where you can find me
In my room at night as I retire
Say you'll find me, redefine me
awake again
No Shangri-la, no change at all

You're like a butterfly
Caught in the middle
You're like a star

Oh, when all we do
Cries out with all that's true
Never regret for a minute
Now all is new

Pain, are you here to remind me?
No Shangri-la
No shame in failure

Cause you're like a butterfly
Caught in the middle
You're like a star

Oh, when all we do
Cries out with all that's true
Never regret for a minute
Now all is new

Because we know
When all we do
Cries out with all that's true
We'll never regret for a minute
When all is new
Just say your goal
When all we do
Cries out with all that's true
We'll never regret for a minute
When all is new
```

## Lyrics

```
    Hey, the code is miles away
    ...Haunted miles away
    The code is miles away
    ...Haunted miles away
    Miles away.

    And if you ask me to, I’ll walk this path with you.
    Live by the code you wrote. I’ll walk these miles.
    And if you ask me to, I’ll walk this path with you.
    Live by the code you wrote, I’ll walk these miles alone.

    Go... Fly away
    Go away
    Oh go away.
    Learn to feel the cold
    I’ll walk these miles.
    Hey, the Code is Miles away
    Haunted miles away.

    Miles and miles and miles we’ll walk.
    Miles we’ll wander, miles we’ll stalk.
    Down through the fields, through the dirt and the muck.
    Up in the hills and over the bluff.
    Miles and miles and miles we’ll walk.
    Miles we’ll wander and miles we’ll stalk.

    The code is our order.
    The code is our peace.
    And no, we won’t waver.
    No, we won’t recede.

    Miles away.
    Hey, the code is miles away
    ...Haunted miles away
    Fly Away
    Go Away
    Learn to feel the cold.

    Haunted miles. Below my feet.
    Come heel to toe, walk with me.
    Hallowed hills and phantom streets
    Ghostly, we walk to the beat
    Go tell your daddy

    hey, the code is miles away
    ...Haunted miles away.

    I’ll take this road with you. I’m a believer too.
    We’re better off than not to walk these miles.
    So if you ask me to, I’ll walk this path with you.
    Live by the code you wrote…
    I’ll walk these miles.

    And if you ask me to, I’ll walk this path with you.
    Live by the code you wrote.
    I’ll walk these miles.
    And if you ask me to, I’ll walk this path with you.
    Live by the code you wrote,
    Or walk these miles alone.

    And miles, and miles, and miles…

## Lyrics

```
    I am one,
    In this place,
    No one feels my disgrace.
    I am one in this room
    No one sees, but I see you
    ...wanted
    ...lost me
    ...finally
    ...L.A.

    I've been there,
    Nights unseen
    Dusk will breathe,
    ...hiding me
    And every breath, of every hour
    Tells me how I've lost the power...

    ...help me
    ...watch me
    ...Secada...

    In my room it's still the same
    In my mind I'll move again
    In my eyes it's sheets of pain
    In my size, I'll be again...L.A...

```
Promise

Man appeared on the first Noisescapes demo that originally got the attention of Steve Vai and Relativity Records.*

    ...sweat lights fly by outside,
    Damn it, it's hot in here...
    It's so hot...
    ...too hot to sleep

    All I need...

    Black on black,
    The red burns
    3:15 AM
    ...rises, beside, behind...
    It's easier to sleep,
    It happened,

    ...there's nothing I can do about it.

    All I need I am finished now,
    I am full,
    I am ugly,
    I am your promise.

## Lyrics

```
    Every fuckin' body's got a wallet chain
    Trading Iron maiden for a wallet chain
    Trading heavy metal for a toque and Loreal
    I've got a bad damn feeling music's going to hell

    Gotta go to Compton for a wallet chain
    Suburban fucking gangsters and their wallet chains
    With music hard as disco but without the brain
    I saw Elvis in a mohawk and it wasn't the same

    Give it to me! Give it to me!
    (Gonna look punk eventually.)
    Liberty! Liberty!
    Ain't nobody gonna mess with me!

    I used to practice guitar 8 hours a day
    But knowing music theory just doesn't pay
    So now I've gotta get a skateboard or I won't get laid
    I'm so hard core but my curfew's 8!

    Money for free! Money for free!
    (I get it from my mommy so money's free)
    Bangin' my knee! Bangin' my knee!
    Sixty hefty links of chain are bangin' my knee

    Gonna go get myself a wallet chain!
    Trading Iron Maiden for a wallet chain!
    You'll never look punk until you get a chain!
    You're not a real "gangsta" without that chain!
    Wallet chain! Wallet chain!
    I got a wallet chain because money is everything!
    Take it from me! Take it from me!
    (No one's gonna take my damn wallet from me!)
    Wait and see! Wait and see!
    Everyone will have a chain eventually!

    [Narrator:]
    "I don't know if you people out there ever heard of the granny awards.
    You see, it's a yearly event that brings all the good parts of world music
    and money making together, into one little metal figurine! And this year,
    after only being together for a mere couple of weeks, Punky Brüster have
    gotten themselves a nomination... Now even though it's almost inevitable
    that they could win or at least get an honorable mention at this prestigious
    event, it brings a nervousness that has disrupted most of the members' bowels..."

## Lyrics

```
    [Narrator:]
    Now, being hailed as the ultimate 4th dimensional guitar hero,
    Ziltoid feels confident in his complete victory.
    But, Captain Spectacular has seen through Ziltoid's façade and
    now sets out to expose Ziltoid for what he really is...a nerd.
    A nerd...

    We now join Captain Spectacular as he introspectively gazes out
    of his starship window, on his way to find the fifth dimensional
    Nebulo 9.

    Did you know that time
    Is not a straight line?
    Everything that you learn,
    Now it's gone,
    Gone away.
    You take your time,
    If you choose,
    You'll burn...
    Everything that you were,
    Now it's gone, gone away.
    Yeah it's gone, gone away,

    Yeah it's gone, gone away, gone!

    And the world is gone!
    And we find there's no one that's
    Waiting for the light to come,
    And we are on our own,
    And we find there's no one that's
    Waiting for the light to call,
    Now you're on your own,
    And you find there's no one that's
    Waiting for the light to call.

    [Captain Spectacular:]
    I must rise! I must find a way! For this...Ziltoid will surely pay!
    My fellow humans! I, Captain Spectacular, hereby give my good word!

    Yeah it's gone, gone away,
    Yeah it's gone, gone.

    Solar wind blows,
    Through my eye and control mind,
    Solar wind blows,
    Through my eye and control my mind,
    Say it again!
    Say it again!
    Words are used for weapons!
    Say it again, and again and again and again and again and again!
    Don't let her down,
    You've led her into my world!
    Hey, you'll never learn,
    You've led her into my mind.
    Through your soul,
    Your solar winds blowing cold.
    You've never learned,
    You've led her into my world.
    Solar workings of your door,
    The solar wind, the solar winds blowing cold.

    [Ziltoidian:] Commander Ziltoid, Permission to speak!
    [Ziltoid:] Granted...
    [Ziltoidian:] It appears as if Captain Spectacular and the remaining
    humans have set a course to the benevolent hive mine 9!
    [Ziltoid:] Indeed...

    Comfort me; you know I'm right,
    Come to me into the night,
    Knowing we are right behind,
    The solar wind, the solar winds blowing cold!
    (Solar winds, solar winds blowing cold)

    [Ziltoidian:] Commander Ziltoid, the humans are no longer on our radar!
    [Ziltoid:] What! Curses! They must have jumped into hyperdrive.
    Phooey! Indeed, phooey! Until we meet again commander...

    LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE!

    I know why, I know what we came for!
    SO MUCH WE NEED TO LEARN!
    HONOR!

    Be free, my heart… MY INTERGALACTIC PART!

    CALL NOW TO THE WORLDS OF OLD!
    ALL SHALL BE FREE!

    Shower the world where it's trying to be.
    How the memories have taken a leave.
    Now they're here and they're lying to me!
    Accountable man, nothing is free.

    FOREVER!!!
    HEY THROUGH ANGER, WE HUNGER FOR GOD (SUMERIA!!!)
    (Known in my day…)
    HEY NOW, THROUGH ANGER WE HUNGER FOR GOD
    SUMERIA!!!

    Cold, we mirror the I, have all come to rise when souls cry?
    The old man is so proud tonight.
    In the fields of the earth...
    Choral lines, July in the birth throes of light never die…never lie. Lie.
    Sane, pray for where our hearts lead us now...
