Goldmine 02:12
lyrics
Goldmine Save desperate souls what do you get A little more holy and deeper in debt It’s a costly road down which we’re headed And you just can’t build a new world on credit I’m taking lost souls by the hand So maybe I deserve a small advance You can’t expect a discount on divine Sometimes salvation needs a goldmine It ain’t my fault we men of faith Sometimes see our assets appreciate There may be virtue in a vow of poverty But at a certain point it makes no sense to me I’m taking lost souls by the hand So maybe I deserve a small advance You can’t expect a discount on divine Sometimes salvation needs a goldmine Sometimes salvation needs a goldmine Selling salvation can be a goldmine

Toll For Your Soul 04:00
lyrics
Toll For Your Soul Pony up, this ride ain't free What's yours is mine, a service fee It's the price of admission, the cost to enroll It's a bill for enlightenment It's a toll for your soul A charge for your goal It's a toll for your soul A fair exchange on the whole Ante up, this game ain't free A tip for the house, an entrance fee It's the price of admission, it's the cost to enroll It's a bill for enlightenment It's a toll for your soul A charge for your goal It's a toll for your soul A fair exchange on the whole Your worldly assets, your precious gear Your gold and silver, your objects dear All your possessions, your material gains They are prophetic payments I’ll generously retain I’ll stake my claim It's a toll for your soul A charge for your goal It's a toll for your soul A fair exchange on the whole It’s a toll for your soul What good is money anyway It’s a toll for your soul This earthly veil is fading away It’s a toll for your soul You can’t take it with you It’s a toll for your soul Just like they always say It’s a toll for your soul What good is money anyway It’s a toll for your soul You’ve got bigger debts to repay It’s a toll for your soul You can’t take it with you It’s a toll for your soul So slide that cash my way It's a toll for your soul It's a toll for your soul It's a toll for your soul It's a toll for your soul

House Rules 04:48
lyrics
House Rules Welcome to salvation, so glad you've joined the club It's your paradise forever and therein lies the rub There are rules absolute, truths immune to dispute Trust in them and do not sway Know your place, get in line, don't think twice and you'll be fine Heed the words I have to say Submit! Comply! Obey! Submit! Comply! Obey! A refuge of enlightenment Come forth and fill your cup It's your ticket to deliverance Just shut your mouth and listen up There are rules absolute, truths immune to dispute Trust in them and do not sway Know your place, get in line, don't think twice and you'll be fine Heed the words I have to say Submit! Comply! Obey! Submit! Comply! Obey! Now’s not the time for questions, just follow faithfully There’s no negotiation, quibbling with divinity There’s no form of omniscience that wants to hear your two cents No path to world renewal needs your stamp of approval Submit! Comply! Obey! Submit! Comply! Obey! Submit! Comply! Obey! Submit! Comply! Obey!

No Turning Back 01:40
lyrics
No Turning Back When I saw him I just knew That virtue and glory had finally found their way to me too So ignored and left behind By a world that will soon see I've made it to the front of the line There’s no turning back We’re on the ground floor of tomorrow We can leave our pain and sorrow far behind There’s no turning back We've lit a match to all our bridges Everyone already thinks we've lost our minds Well I hope he's what he seems There's just something a little bit off about his method and means

Divinely Entwined 01:34
lyrics
Divinely Entwined A destined bond, earthly and beyond A shared embrace, a connected space Our spirits touch, everytime we clutch You and I are one, so let's have some fun A cosmic bind, divinely entwined We all are one Our carnal destiny, loving, pure, and free Together bound So let's fool around

Not A Person But A Power 05:20
lyrics
Not A Person But A Power Do they believe I’m just a body Just another pretty face Do they think they can replace me Don't they know that's not the case I've no expiry date, no best before There's no off switch for divine I'm their forever man, part of the original plan One-and-only by design I'm not a person but a power More than blood and bone of course I'm not a person but a power Plugged directly into the source Do they believe I'm just a doorman Some sort of mystic concierge To hand them tickets to salvation Then turn my back and disappear I've no expiry date, no best before There's no off switch for divine I'm their forever man, part of the original plan Their one-and-only by design I'm not a person but a power More than blood and bone of course I'm not a person but a power Plugged directly into the source I must eliminate, I must eradicate I must exterminate this threat The answer's clear to me, an astronomic OD As high as we can get I will eliminate, I will eradicate I will exterminate this threat The answer's clear to me, an astronomic OD As high as we can get I'm not a person but a power More than blood and bone of course I'm not a person but a power Plugged directly into the source I'm not a person, I’m a power More than blood and bone of course I'm not a person, I’m a power A fucking cosmic tour de force

lyrics
Cosmic Junkies Let's ascend to a higher plane Celebrate your worthy deed A connection to the brotherhood A little help is all you need Plug in, shoot up, blast off, space out Relax and free your mind Plug in, shoot up, blast off, space out It's a gateway to the divine We’re cosmic junkies, we’re gonna get high We’re cosmic junkies, gonna kiss the sky Take a trip across the universe A galactic scenic tour To the kingdom of enlightenment All you need is a little more Plug in, shoot up, blast off, space out Relax and free your mind Plug in, shoot up, blast off, space out It's a gateway to the divine We’re cosmic junkies, we’re gonna get high We’re cosmic junkies, gonna kiss the sky We’re cosmic junkies, we’re gonna get high We’re cosmic junkies, gonna kiss the sky Go beyond the illusion of self Transcend this earthly veil Eternal bliss is our sea of wealth To the stars let’s set sail We’re cosmic junkies, we’re gonna get high We’re cosmic we junkies, gonna kiss the sky We’re cosmic junkies, we’re gonna get high We’re cosmic we junkies, gonna kiss the sky

Not A Person But A Power (reprise) 01:52
lyrics
Not a Person But A Power (reprise) There's a fine line between the faithful and the reckless There's a fine line between the follower and the feckless It's important that we still protect ourselves If the shepherd of the flock is lost as well He's just a person, not a power No more than blood and bone of course He's just a person, not a power A cosmic grifter at the source He's just a person, not a power No more than blood and bone of course He's just a person, not a power Just a bullshit Trojan horse
14.
In Charge 03:25
lyrics
In Charge You say you’re driven by celestial voice Your actions guided, you have no choice Consumed by forces, on demand It’s just a ruse for your conceited plan I’m the one in charge, don’t second guess Play by the rules and do what’s best I’m the one in charge, the soul elect I’m the big kahuna, don’t you forget You’re a mystic grifter, a spiritual fraud Your rash decisions have all been flawed The Masters trust you to seal our fate If you ask us they’ve made a big mistake I’m the one in charge, don’t second guess Play by the rules and do what’s best I’m the one in charge, the soul elect The Chief of Staff, don’t you forget We’ll see about that We’ll see about that You’ve lost our trust just as you’ve lost your mind Our faith in you is no longer blind We see right through you and we’ve had enough Not to mention you stole all our stuff I’m the one in charge, don’t second guess Forever bound, at my behest I’m the one in charge, the soul elect The final boss, don’t you forget We’ll see about that We’ll see about that We’ll see about that We’ll see about that
15.
Unworthy 04:49
lyrics
Unworthy The beat is over, the light is gone The flame extinguished, what have I done I was mistaken, dazed and confused Lost in a trance, a fiend and a fool And I've never felt so unworthy Worse than worthless, tossed aside I've never felt so unworthy My destiny has been denied What if I told you you're not to blame It's all their fault, losing faith in the game Green with envy, filled with hate They never believed this was your fate So they're the ones who are unworthy Worse than worthless in my mind They're the ones who are unworthy Their punishment must fit the crime So they're the ones who are unworthy Worse than worthless in our minds They're the ones who are unworthy Their punishment must fit the crime They're the ones who are unworthy Worse than worthless in our minds They're the ones who are unworthy Their punishment must fit the crime
16.
Madame Z 03:47
lyrics
Madame Z You've extinguished our deliverance You've robbed me of my fate You've aborted our salvation Now I've gone insane with hate Your betrayal has been noted Prepare for my assault No use in pleading mercy 'Cause this is all your fault I'm Madame Z and I decree Your wayward path has earned my wrath I'm Madame Z and I decree Apostate trash deserve the lash I'm punishment incarnate Retribution in the flesh The mistress of malfeasance Discipline at its best Cower down before me I'm through with playing nice You've stripped me of my future And now you'll pay the price I'm Madame Z and I decree Your wayward path has earned my wrath I'm Madame Z and I decree Apostate trash deserve the lash You're faithless and repugnant You're maniacal and vain You're insolent and ugly You're heartless and insane You're weak and unrepentant You're a cruel and vicious witch You're cowardly and heathen You're a crazy fucking bitch I'm Madame Z and I decree Your wayward path has earned my wrath I'm Madame Z and I decree Apostate trash deserve the lash

House Rules (reprise) 02:11
lyrics
House Rules (reprise) There are rules to dispute Truths no longer absolute We were blind and towed the line But now we see he's faux divine His jealousy's beyond the pale He poisoned her, he's off the rails It never was an accident He deceived us from the start Wore the mask and played the part He did exactly what he meant We've gotten wise, no more lies It's time to rise and cut him down to size We've gotten wise, no more lies It's time to rise and cut him down to size Resist! Defy! Betray! Resist! Defy! Betray!
18.
Fools And Traitors 03:20
lyrics
Fools And Traitors Fools and traitors Fools and traitors Fools and traitors Fools and traitors Fools and traitors, clods and haters Factious mutinous instigators Your souls are shattered, your spirits torn You gaze at me with venomous scorn I gave you everything without constraint And you repay me by calling me insane Twisted and arcane, a cancer in your brain Fools and traitors Fools and traitors Fools and traitors Fools and traitors Fool and traitor, clod and hater Lying karmic decimators You broke our spirits, condemned our souls Took our misfortune and turned it into gold We'll raze the refuge, in flame surround Erase your legacy, bring it crashing down Your destiny unwound as we burn it to the ground Burn! Your vanity Burn! Your insanity Burn! Your memory and leave no trace Burn! Your addled preaching Burn! Your empty teachings Burn! From now on we light our own way On this fateful night we set alight Everything for which you stand With these righteous flames we'll end your game And destroy this promised land Your time is over, your end is near Let this pyre be your fall We'll take your place, control our fate A new salvation we'll install As we burn down every wall Start a cosmic overhaul Let the Masters hear our call It's our turn after all

lyrics
Message From The Masters (reprise) This is a message from the Masters Reset the plan and start anew The world's still heading for disaster But now it's us who'll guide you through This is a message from the Masters Reset the plan and start anew The world's still heading for disaster But now it's us who'll guide you through Eleven cosmic souls, divine and in control Have revised their sacred memo They've given second thought to all the mess they've wrought And decided to fix the demo This is a message from the Masters Reset the plan and start anew Because it doesn't really matter Who will lead the chosen few We weren't first in line, our spirits less divine Now our destiny's complete We'll take our place and then we'll start it up again Our salvation on repeat This is a message from the Masters Reset the plan and start anew Because it doesn't really matter Who will lead the chosen few Eleven cosmic souls, divine and in control Are shaking off one man’s delusions Now they expect to see divine trajectories Reach their preordained conclusions This is a message from the Masters Reset the plan and start anew The world's still heading for disaster But now it's us who'll guide you through This is a message from the Masters Reset the plan and start anew The world's still heading for disaster But now it's us who'll guide you through
