lyrics

The will of god, becomes the will of man
My project envied from all the lands
Surpass the age of cloning, in my labs
Master regeneration without scabs

Cold cold night in the sun of day
Chain chain chains I’m breaking you away
In my minds eye, enormous, a freak
Burning off their drugs, I plot their defeat

Controlling genius from all the lands
Creation of life is at my command
My hands have healed, my hands have led
I’ve walked the path others fear to tread

Cold cold night in the sun of day
Chain chain chains I’m breaking you away
My minds all clear, immune to their drugs
I am to escape and live in the sun

My soul wants to know its maker, baby
My team is ready, my team I trust
All systems active, creation now commences
Creation comes, but at what expense?

We should have buried it away
We should have expected to pay
We should have not, god must have known…
We must contain it!
Those of them which lived will deny the facts
I was their leader, now I’m in their pack
My vision altered, distorted with greed
Now I’m the monster, alive, and free

What we created, my vision conceived
Regeneration, life anew, mutation unforeseen
Making haste, reign in the Prometheus
Controlling it, before it controls us!

Cold cold night in the sun of day
Chain chain chains I’m breaking you away
My minds at ease, amidst all these trees
Deep in the amazon surrounded by leaves

My soul wants to know its maker, baby
My team is ready, my team I trust
All systems active, creation now commences
Creation comes, but at what expense?

about

The Gingerdead Men Akron, Ohio

The Gingerdead Men (tGDM) were a bad-ass, rock’n roll band. They shunned trends and embraced complete creative freedom. They tought rock’n roll should be loud, to the point, and capable of shaking your pants and bobbing your head. Their lyrics told tall tales about the future, the past, monsters and more. Somehow, it worked. Well.

tGDM believed that massive amplification was ALWAYS the answer.
