ALTAR (aka Alter)

  ALTAR - .wav file


The song ALTAR was released on the He Ho LP in 1984, and again on their new CD: Ruin... Songs of Reverie & Ruin, available on Blackhole Records.

1ST VERSE
Happy Birthday! Tonight You'll Die...
Tomorrow tells the truth of how we live a lie.
Warned by yesterday, but will we heed?
Or will we fulfill some fatal prophesy?

CHORUS
Sometimes you are a falling star,
sometimes you're just a smashed-up car-
destiny, got such a hold on me.
Destiny-what do you want from me?
Do you choose the way you are?
Can you even say you are of the free.
Got such a hold on  me.
Destiny-What do you want from Me?

2ND VERSE
Give it up! Give it up! Give it up! Give up the lie!
Is it all so hopeless-have you really tried?
I AM ALIVE! I wanna be....
Free from self-imposed inauthenticity!
(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE VERSE

I can change my destiny...I can change my destiny...
Sacrifice my destiny...I can change my destiny... At The Altar...
At The Alter... At The Altar
(REPEAT FIRST HALF OF CHORUS)
