Visionary 04:18
I seen the oceans rising and I seen the bullets flying and I.. I seen the lifeblood flowing from the Wounds of the world and we know it’s run dry I seen the forests burning The children starving, the warriors yearning for peace As they join the choir invisible That one nation indivisible I know what it means to be a visionary I seen false prophets rising With words to soothe the most disquieted man With each breath a promise spoken Each deed a promise broken yeah Well, Daniel and Ezekiel, just lucky guesses Even Nostradamus confesses that I’m the light Shining forth the future’s revealed Destiny’s compendium unsealed, for you tonight Revelations is so passe All the kids watch Fox News these days I’m down with the end times Armageddon, that’s just for kids Ragnarok ain’t got shit on this I seen the signs So make love Make war And burn everything that’s worth fighting for Make love Make war And burn everything that’s worth fighting for

Sweet Relief 04:49
Heavens above I took a bullet for love and now I can’t get enough lead in my heart I embrace life live on the edge of a knife Cut through the chaos and strife To find my path That’s just is a fact of being alive whatever makes you feel good can make you feel like dying you cry out in pleasure and cry yourself to sleep Your make your choices, your choose your course You can make pretend you've got no remorse But the deeper the suffering the sweeter is the relief This flesh that we own It's gonna fall off our bones And there ain't no creed that'll save us from the touch of death So reach out and touch Someone who wants it so much Sample every taste ‘cause you don’t wanna waste a breath And if you can’t find no reason or rhyme You can make your own rhythm baby take your time Just remember contentment is a lie Me, I live for love and lust and rock and roll So come on riddle my heart with your bullet holes I don't care if it hurts as long as it still bleeds I can turn this lead to gold inside of me Love, lay me down, lay me out, lay me low Love, lay me down, lay me out, lay me low That’s just the fact of being alive whatever makes you feel good can make you feel like dying you cry out in pleasure and cry yourself to sleep You gotta make your choices, gotta choose your course No need to make pretend you've got no remorse But the deeper the suffering the sweeter is the relief

As Isaac lay on the sacred slab The blade held high in a trembling hand, hey hey He said: Stab me, Daddy spill my blood If you don't do what He says, He's gonna send in the flood Don't ya mourn me, I'll be in the Lord's embrace Hey hey Because Oh oh, my God is good Oh Lord, my God is good As Judas walked with the Son of Man Thirty silver in his trembling hand, oh man The Lord said: Hey Jude, you gonna let me down, hmm? Don't feel bad my son, it's part of his plan Still I guess he'll send you to the Ninth Circle of Hell Oh well! Because Oh oh, my Daddy's good Go tell them Gentiles that your God is good Your will just can't be known But your word is the law So let the agony flow, oh I'm just reaping what I've sown. Pour fire and brimstone down and I'll sing in the rain like a boy gone insane Oh release the skies on me. The boots that march cross the Promised Land The rifle cocked by a steady hand They say: Don't ya know this land is ours by right, hmm? This verse right here, it says that God's on our side No he won't save you when the tanks go rolling in We gonna win Because Oh oh, our God is good He was OUR God first, and don't ya know he's good Your will just can't be known But your word is the law So let the agony flow, oh I'm just reaping what I've sown. Pour fire and brimstone down and I'll sing in the rain like a boy gone insane Oh release the skies on me. Oh oh, my God is good Oh Lord, my God is good Oh oh, my God is good Oh Lord, my God is good

Rapture 04:40
Raise me up through the blue blue skies Let me fly To a land where my soul will never die Strap me in to this divine machine Let me see All the things that no mortal eye has seen Well I know that the cup is empty The barrel has run dry But they say there’s a land of plenty Awaiting in the sky Fire me deep into the frozen void And I’ll find A new home far from this one we’ve destroyed Way out there beyond the veil of night Kingdom come And everything is gonna be alright There will be no rising seas or atom bombs No fear for the future Just you and me and the chosen ones Who were fit for the Rapture Sing hallelujah our souls are saved Let’s raise the dead from their cryo-graves And all their sins forgive Don’t mourn for those who we leave behind All their mushroom clouds will be silver-lined They die that we might live Well I know that the cup is empty The barrel has run dry But they say there’s a land of plenty Awaiting in the sky There will be no rising seas or atom bombs No fear for the future Just me and you and the chosen ones Who were fit for the Rapture

Holy Blood 05:36
Did you break your momma's back? Did she try to hold you back from all the world? When in that moment she realised that what had fallen from her womb wouldn't lay flowers on the tomb of any soldier upon whom she'd cast her murderous eye? Mother Mary let me go, I won't fight under your banner no more. So contrary, don't you know, your assumption is the mother of all whores. So I just keep on hangin' round, in the hopes we'll paint the town red with the blood of Jesus Christ and all the saints. I ain't complainin', no no no, I'm happy just to go down to the docks where all the sirens sing their songs through salty lips. Disappointed, maybe so, but all is fair in love and war. How the hell does your garden grow, when salt is all you sow into that barren soil? Take me to the garden grove tonight, lay upon my darkened head a kiss goodbye.. Now my back is red and raw, 'cause absolution's such a chore, now hold this rod for me and be my redeemer. Time's a wastin', hurry up, now drink the poison from the cup. This holy blood will quench the fire in your heart. Why I take this, I don't know, but foul is fair in love and war. You push my pulmonary flow, sing hallelujah like the sirens on the shore. Take me to the garden grove tonight, lay upon my darkened head a kiss goodbye.. I want your holy holy, holy holy, holy holy blood.

about

Radar Angel Wellington, New Zealand

Take a truckload of funky synth-pop nostalgia, throw in a fistful of industrial grit, a half-tab of psychedelica and feed it all to a delirious street preacher. Take the unholy shit that comes out the other end and you’ve got something like the Radar Angel experience. ... more
