Does the hammer hit harder with a purpose?
Is it driven by the fear of the nail?
And the only death that’s ever really worthless
Is a life without a story to tell
And all the jewels, all the gold, all the shame
Even your name
It’s all gone
You see, the Commodore and the cannibal
Are starving and they both need to eat
But a civilized man will judge what he can
Until the ship drowns and men become meat
On the island where you’ll find him
Deserted and bare to the bone
He finally understands why the cannibals hands
Have the same blood as his own
When everything you knew
Has a new point of view
And suddenly the savage is you
It’s all gone
Well the river only moves in one direction
And the mountain will always sit still
But if one is made to cut through the other
It’s only water at the bottom of the hill
When the only life that’s ever really worthless
Is a death without a story to sell
When everyone’s opinion is wrong to someone else
When empathy has all gone to hell
Oh it’s all gone

They say you can't capture lightning in a bottle the second time. Someone should tell those people that Z&A is Zeus' homeboy.
Fantastic soul metal. Grimmrobe
I am not sure how to classify this & it really doesn't matter... :) This album is superb & filled with incredibly playful melodies & wicked humour - especially in the lyrics. The humour in the lyrics reminds me a little of a modern day Tom Lehrer even if the music is totally different but it is the playing with words & having a ton of fun while doing it that does it :) Thank you so much to tesla_666 for taking me here! I love it & highly recommend it!!! bmurator
