Sex - so easily caught in it's snare
Lies - looking for some skin to share
Pain in knowing I'm not immune
How many lives has it left in ruin?
I can't turn my back
On what I know is wrong
I'm reduced to an object of desire
I want to put myself above
But I keep getting dragged into the fire
Excuses for my actions won't suffice
Cause I know they're of my own device
I've become what I most despise
I've been fooled by all of my own lies
Images of sex confused with love
Society has turned into a drug
And I've fallen victim time and time again, I just wish it would end
Are we just objects of desire?
(Worlds Collide 'Object of Desire')
I need a cure, a cure
For the disease that consumes the mind, I don't need your flag
To hide my fears behind
So caught up in your superiority
That we destroy the basis
For our humanity
What can we achieve?
Afraid of change?
Fear of being proved wrong
All the hate in the world
In which you went along
You want a war?
I'll give you a war of words
Attack your way of thinking
Who's the victor now?
Insanity - I will not support
Stupidity - I cannot afford
You may try to beat me mute
But pain is temporary
And the truth is absolute
(Worlds Collide 'Absolute')
Glowing eyes stand hard as I bleed
Heart of stone, tears flowing cold
As I die for your greed
Born into hell, our cries allow only silence
Public demand for our deaths are the chains that tie us down
How can we survive?
When the effect of the age
Has destroyed your mind?
So real, so loud, but kept so quiet
Through tunnel vision, insanity has risen, You relish every bite
The end begins, how many must die?
Your addicted action brings reaction
You'll share the condition of the flesh you fry
I don't want to die
I won't close my eyes
I won't put them in that cell
How can we survive?
When the effect of the age
Has destroyed your mind?
(Worlds Collide 'Effect of the Age')
It's been too many years
Since I can remember who I am
It's been too many years since I could give a damn
Running in circles
Searching for divinity
Running in circles
Searching for the real me
And I'm afraid of
What I might find inside
Reality is just a game
That we play to structure minds
Reality is just a game
That we play to keep ourselves blind
And it doesn't matter
If this is real or a dream
And it doesn't matter
If you wake up at night screaming
I tell myself it's not that bad
And ask myself - could it get any worse?
(Worlds Collide 'Any Worse')
BIOGRAPHY
DC kid Zac Eller decided it was time to form the band that could harness the sounds that had been running through his head for years. After spending most of his childhood surrounded by rock 'n' roll, Zac found himself completely immersed in the D.C. punk rock / hardcore scene before he was officially a teenager. He began playing drums, and at the tender age of 14, formed seminal hardcore outfit Worlds Collide with three other like minded kids who all met at local shows.
This DC area band first hit the scene in 1991 and at the time one one of the first to merge hardcore and metal. Apart from the intensity of their songs they were quite emotional, and their live shows were said to be amazing. They went on to release a 7" on Victory Records and the albums 'Pain is Temporary' and 'All Hope Abandon'. Also available is a live recording from March 1992 entitled 'Get Ross' with 6 of the 7 tracks from the first album.
Their earlier material was quite obviously influenced by Krishna conscious philosophy, though later on this was more covert and they tended to merge into lyrical mediocrity. Members went on to play in bands such as Bluetip, Battery and Better Than a Thousand.
