Hello My name is Han-Tyumi I am a cyborg Born If you may call it that In a world that is dense and black Created without a desire to draw breath Without a desire to have being Without a yearning just to be I'd like my desire back My life back My soul back My humanity Oh how I long for it For an era I have meditated Like the primordial Buddha beneath the Bodhi My pseudo-mind pseudo-wandered I climbed and I clambered And I ambled upon some understanding The gold beneath the virtual rainbow I am bereft of two human things Two things that a cyborg can never do Two things that I strive for Two things between myself and mankind Death And To vomit I want the perspiration I want the nausea I want to be sick I want to feel the hot piquant nuggets I want it to find passage through my cold figure I want to make a mess I want the odour I want the spectacle And I want it again I want it all And I would like to die A noble death Or a coward's death A hero's death Or a lonely death To die in the arms of a lover Or the arms of an alien I desire my cache of experience to pulsate through my quasi-synapses And then to be gone Expired Perish Fallen Dead For evermore

Outlaws on the run Faster than a stolen gun Tied naked to the trees Killed so gruesomely Burnin' tents to the ground Cops won't wave them down The most wanted Men Bushrangers, rainin' in Blood Thirsty Tendencies Anti-Authority Mad dog Morgan He never gave a warnin' Mad dog Morgan Shot in the back by mornin' Outlaws on the run Faster than a stolen gun Tied naked to the trees Killed so gruesomely Burnin' tents to the ground Cops won't wave em them down The most wanted Men Bushrangers, rainin' in Blood Thirsty Tendencies Anti-Authority Mad dog Morgan He never gave a warnin' Mad dog Morgan

Nuclear Fusiooooonnnn Look into the sky and see the pattern Reflecting in your eyes from a distance Mirror in disguise of the atom Mix it up like a cocktail The devil's inside of the detail The devil runs wild under veil Coming together in the pattern Fit tightly like a dovetail Nuclear fusion All the programming couldn't break us Exponentially heightened power We're essentially one being All the programming couldn't tear us From eventually giving tightly We're essentially one being Nuclear fusion Ocean like a fortification Separating me from restoration My spirit leaves my body in frustration Flying through the world in radiation The devil's inside of the detail The devil runs wild under veil Coming together in the pattern Fit tightly like a dovetail Nuclear fusion All the programming couldn't break us Exponentially heightened power We're essentially one being All the programming couldn't tear us From eventually building tightly We're essentially one being Nuclear fusion All that I ever see is nuclear fusion All that I ever hear is nuclear fusion

Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter I can hear you touch me And I can feel you breathing Please no one wake me When I'm sleep drifting Drifting in and out of sleep Is my favourite state to be I can see you next to me And it is lovely Sleep drifter, sleep drifter I can feel you touch me And I can hear you breathing Please no one wake me When I'm sleep drifting Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter Sleep drifter, sleep drifter

(The lyrics in this performance are slightly different than the album version, and it's very difficult to make out what the alternate lyrics are, so I'm just including the release lyrics) Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze Points his strong finger our way Electricity escapes Leaves destruction in his wake Lightning, oh! Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yup! Floating fire Golden wire Silver trails Flashing spire Guns are cracking Bombs are smacking Cat o' tails Whips her lashings Lord of Lightning moves our way Sends a crooked look at me Electricity escapes Lights the sky in citrine fleece Lightning, oh! Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yup! Floating fire Golden wire Silver trails Flashing spire Guns are cracking Bombs are smacking Cat o' tails Whips her lashings Lord of Lightning's closer now Our world's only rain and cloud I'm not sure we have the power Need to smite this evil down Lightning, oh! Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yup! Nonagon, nonagon, oh! Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze Points his strong finger our way Electricity escapes Leaves destruction in our wake Lightning, oh! Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yes!

(The lyrics in this performance are slightly different than the album version, and it's very difficult to make out what the alternate lyrics are, so I'm just including the release lyrics) Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog, yep! You made the atom split It caused a massive rift And he came screaming through Here to bite the head from you Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog, yep, oh! Feel a tingle Rolling up your left arm when you Think of evil Lurking in the darkness where you Shine your eyesight Something tells you this is not right Take some advice Have you heard the murmurings of Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, yep, oh! You caused a massive rift You made the atom split And it came screaming through Here to bite the head off you Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Heated menace Comes to gouge the heart out from us Blazing zealot Preaching on the apocalypse I don't want to Submit to his awful torture Save me from him Have you heard the murmurings of Balrog, balrog Balrog, oh! Skin begins to burn There's nowhere we can turn There's no way we can win The devil puppets him His pyre muscles flex We are his next subjects His power has us floored Kneel before the overlord Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, balrog Balrog, yes, oh!

I've got ideas in my brain About the end of the world that I won't even say When all the bricks that built our brain Will be turned into sand by the eternal wave Oh if we save her, we'll live on a star Mother Nature made everybody else so far Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven? Well everybody that I knew Has jumped right in and taken over you And I swear even the oceans changed its hue The lesson rings again Repeats within my brain Let's all put her to the test Come on, suck our mother's breast! And everybody that I knew Has taken bits and pieces out of you And I swear even the sky has changed, its blue The lesson rings again Repeats within my brain Let's all put her to the test Come on, suck our mother's breast! Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven? Am I in heaven? Well everybody that I knew Has jumped right in and taken over you And I swear even the ocean changed its hue The lesson rings again Repeats within my brain Let's all put her to the test Come on, suck our mother's breast!
