Notes from Jeff Waters:
THE FUN PALACE. Carrying on Annihilator's fine tradition of
covering weird, psychological illnesses, "Palace" is narrated by the
emotion of guilt. It details the psychic voyage taken by one who
has committed a heinous crime and gotten away with it. Many years
later the nightmares become so intense that the only way for the
murderer to stop them is to confess. ROAD TO RUIN. I guess you
could call this Annigilator's version of "Detroit Rock City" meets
"Highway Star" meets drinking and driving! Thousands of people are
killed each year by those who think that, after a few drinks,
they're sober enough to drive the few short miles to home. This
particular individual was one of those. SIXES AND SEVENS. This
title comes from the British phrase "At Sixes and Sevens", meaning
"at a point of disorder of confusion". I think a lot of people will
be able to relate to these lyrics, which describe a period in my
life where everything was in confusion, without direction, and
giving up was the easy way out. The moral of the story: Everything
works out in the end if you really want it to! STONEWALL. When I
moved out to Vancouver (Canada!) in 1987, I took a walk down to a
nearby river. It looked calm and peaceful, yet, alive. A closer
look (and smell) changed my peaceful mood into a feeling of disgust
and disappointment. The water was full of raw sewage and chemicals,
which I later found were spewing out from a plant upstream, as well
as a garbage dump located, ever so brillantly, fifty feet from the
shoreline. This was the first time I've ever really thought about
the permanent enviromental damage being done and, although I'm not
about to hold up protes slogans and join Greenpeace, "Stonewall" is
my way of bringing the subject up for thought. NEVER NEVERLAND.
No, not "Alison Hell" Part 2! Yes, another gloomy subject! Yet,
another true story! This is about an unfortunate young girl, who
was locked in a room for half decade just looking at a boy in
grocery store! Her guardian, also her grandmother, felt that the
only way she could protect her granddaughter from the "evils and
temptations in the world was to confine her to her room "til
eternity". There is however, a rather happy end to all this when,
during the middle of the song, the police/social workers storm the
house and free the girl from her mental/physical captivity. She is
now on the brigt road to recovery whilst Nanny finds her new home in
the sanitarium. P.S. Clare is a doll! IMPERILED EYES. Although a
cliche subject in metal, fear of annihilation is something we'e all
experienced one time or another. In this case, we try to decipher,
lyrically and musically, a set of reoccuring nightmares I used to
frequently have. KRAF DINNER. A popular North American delicacy,
this macaroni and cheese dinner is probably the heavy metal musician
best friend! By "living" off this stuff, I saved enough money to
pay the rent on a rehearsal space and buy cigarettes each day! Boy,
what a happy teenager I was!! "Kraf Dinner is full of love and
butter!!!". PHANTASMAGORIA. Phantasmagoria is a form of
psychological diorder where the victim has visions of ghosts in
his/her mind. These apparitions multiply, eventually driving the
victim nuts! Weird, eh? All our friends who remember the
Phantasmagoria 1986 demo should find this quite happening and very
heavy. Cheers! REDUCED TO ASH. Briefly; and imaginary view of our
planet after a thermo - nuclear splattering. We hope not. I AM IN
COMMAND. This is not an anti - religious, anti - christian nor anti
- anything song. It is about those (hopefully) few televangelists
who prey and profit on the weak, poor and directionless. "Command"
is narrated by one who is under their "spell" and one who has just
freed himself from one of these cult - like farces. I guess those
having problems sould be cautions about who they turn to these days.
THRASH!
Jeff Waters
-The Fun Palace-
(Lyrics: Waters/Pharr)
Welcome, I invite you off to the other world
You'll have to face this house of no escape
Confront the past, in this psychic house of horrors
I lead you up the path you'll take
Chorus:
Panic, your conscience lied
Trapped inside
Panic, your ultimate nightmare
Welcome to the fun palace
Panic, just try to scream
It's only a dream
Panic, your ultimate nightmare
Welcome to the fun palace
Tonight you'll be tried I invoke the memories
The guilt to be driven from the unconcious mind
Young lives that you've dienied, behold their faces
Innocence cut to pieces, just look behind
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Look at the fun and the games that you've taken away
Confess!
Dreams of growing up have been destroyed
Because of you!
Farewell, I impel you back to your other world
You'll have to face your every sin
Take this a painful bounty, representing me
The keeper of the palace and the secrets held withing
Repeat Chorus
Goodbye, from the fun palace
-Road To Ruin-
(Lyrics: J. Waters)
No control tonight, the lights are going dim
The floor begins to tilt, it's blurring to a spin
Just let me find the keys, "look down below"
Fres air is all I need, then I'll go
Chorus:
Leading up the road to ruin
You'll full of alcoholic speed
Leading up the road to ruin
No last chance, don't bother to plead
High, over the limit, got to take it slow
Concentrate, kill the radio
It's not the first time, it'll be the last
I've said that before, in the past
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Speed, I've go to make it home
Not too far to go, you're gettin near
Just down the block, there's nothig left to fear
Carefree, on top of the world, feeling power
Impaired security at ninety miles an hour
Repeat Chorus
Out
-Sixes And Sevens-
(Lyrics: J. Waters)
Disillusioned, self - confusion
Trying to make it through another day
What's it all for, when does it end
There must be another way
Woven webs of intriacy
A life of nothing new
No one here to understand
Pressure's crushing you
Sixes and sevens
Disorder battles control
Sixes and sevens
Crises overflow
Aggraviation, deep frustration
I know what I want to do
Motivation is a problem
When it's driven out of you
Emotion, commotion's
Filling up the brain
Direction's null and void
Another drink dilutes the pain
Sixes and sevens
Disorder battles control
Sixes and sevens
Crises overflow
Sinking fast
Will it last
At sixes and sevens
Pulling throught from yesterdat
Another day is done
Determination
Self confidence has won
Woven webs of intricacy
Life is full of stress
That can only hinder
New desire to progress
Sixes and sevens
Disorder's lost control
Sixes and sevens
Crises down the hole
Sinking fast
Will it last
At sixes and sevens
-Stonewall-
(Lyrics: J. Waters)
Chorus:
Stonewall - go to bat
Unless you want to live like that
Stonewall - can't we see
We're our own worst enemy
A land said to have all, wealth in land, in man
Qualities soon to exhaust as man's greed poisons the land
Streams, once fresh, were centers of life for so many a creature
Beauty without a defense, polluted, never to replenish
Repeat Chorus
Collage, blue and green, seen as golden industrial sites
Smudge as toxic pollutans destroy her remaining lights
The power of corporations, spewing chemicals into the air
Fines are imposed to discourage, but what's a dime to millonaire
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
It's time to listen, and see the signs
It's time to listen, and hear the cries
The one that gave us life is being burned to the raw
Reaping unprotected riches, human nature's self destructing flaw
The power of corporations spewing chemical into the air
Fines are imposed to discourage, but what's a dime to millonaire
Repeat Chorus
-Never, Neverland-
(Lyrics: J. Waters/C. Pharr)
My room is full of toys and things
But filled with nothing new
Just me and Clare alone in this
Enchanted, placid room
It's Saturday and no more schoold
There hasn't been for years
She says we're here forever
'Till eternity
Our soliture has been disturbed
Clare hold on, don't flee
With open arms they call my ame
"Oh won't you come with me?"
GET BACK, BACK!
JUST LEAVE US ALL ALONE
TAKE THAT AND THAT!
I'LL BREAK YOUR EVERY BONE
GET BACK, BACK!
JUST LEAVE US ALL ALONE
TAKE THAT AND THAT!
I'LL BREAK YOUR EVERY BONE
BLACKING OUT, POISONED
COLORS NOW DECAY
DRIFTING OFF TO NEVER, NEVERLAND
PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME AWAY
TO NEVER, NEVERLAND
NO, TO THE NEVERLAND!
Time has passed and now I see
What I've live through
I've got no fears that match the hate
That came from you
It's Saturday, I've things to do
I wish you all the best
Now I leave your placid room
Enjoy eternal rest
-Imperiled Eyes-
(Lyrics: J. Waters/J.Weil)
Centuries of war and waaste
Have dealt a mortalblow
Mother Eart begins to rot
Humanity on death row
Life does slowly cease to be
Death seems so surreal
As Earth becoms a vacant lot
There's nothing left to heal
Chorus:
No color in the skies
No one left to blame
And we thought we were wise
As I fade, I feel revived
Shocked back into life
Opening imperiled eyes
Imperiled eyes
Cessation of physical life
Blackness rains from above
What right did power have
To annihilate the Earth I loved
Now a barren wasteland
THe die is cast
A planet that once did teem with life
No evidence of a past
Repeat Chorus
Centuries of war and waste
Have dealt a mortal blow
Mother Earth is now no more
There's nothing left to heal
Repeat Chorus
-Kraf Dinner-
(Lyrics: J. Waters)
Cupboard's bare, I'm so hungry
Life ain't fair, gimme some money
Macaroni maniac, a cheddar cheese heart attack
Chorus:
I love, I love, I love, I love:
KRAF DINNER
Boiling water I can't wait
It's getting hotter, it feels so great
Macaroni maniac, a cheddar cheese heart attack
Repeat Chorus
Well that was fun, but now that I'm all done
Now sedate, I think I'll buy a crate
Macaroni maniac, a cheddar cheese heart attack
Repeat Chorus
Kraf Dinner
Dinner
Kraf Dinner
My Dinner
I want it now
-Phantasmagoria-
(Lyrics: J. Waters)
I have chosen you my friend, you're mine
Locked inside this frightening dream
Nowhere to hide
Every night my demons you will see
An apparition festival, through hell you'll ride
Chorus:
Phantasmagoria
Sleep well
Phantasmagoria
In hell
Someone here is calling out your name
Look out, I play inside your brain
Feeing from my shadows, you'll never pass my test
Don't you know that ghosts never rest
Repeat Chorus
Approaching, you write, we take control
Unholy inquisition, sentence very cold
My servants, demons, take you down the hole
Your mind destroyed, now I want your soul
Repeat Chorus
Phantasmagoria
Phantasmagoria
In hell!
-Reduced To Ash-
(Lyrics: J.Waters/J. Bates)
The sky is falling, timbers they rush down
All is in rubble, vomiting sounds
Screams in the night, yellow and orange
Blackened ident, future deformed
The Earth it doth shake, molested and torn
All living aborted, none left but unborn
Contriveed devastation, see all is ruined
Bodies, now corpses, bent, broken and strewn
Reduced to ash
Reduced to ash
Self - contained eternity, we've sealed the dawn
By torching the sun with the dragons we have spawned
Farewell to all, it's time to leave
Chaotic waste, too much to grieve
Reduced to ash
Reduced to ash
Reduced
Reduced to ash
-I Am In Command-
(Lyrics: J. Waters/J.Weil/J.Bates)
No defense, enemy attack
I'm fighting for my life
They'll slice you to ribbons, you lose all inhibitions
I laugh at the anti - christ
Power of position deploying ammunition
I'm free from your holy beliefs
Your pockets are bled, to Christ you're wed
Gaze at the lost sheep
Chorus:
I am in command
I am in command
I stand in command
ALl the taking, eyes are waking
To your mass control
Power fades, drunken ways
Creating your own hellhole
Your God cast out, my armaments shout
Your faith is soon null and void
Where's God paid the church of fraud
Now heaven's left you unemployed
Repeat Chorus
Moans of the meek, I'm strong, they're weak
I triumph as never before
Stand beside, be strong, take pride
Truth comes from the core
My waar is fought by those I have taught
And those pledged to be free
I am here in alliance and stand in defiance
Of the church's almighty greed
Repeat Chorus
