1. Come And Get It

Think that I know you, but I just can't place the face
Got something to show you, it can never be replaced
Wherever we walk, wherever we fly
Wherever we live, wherever we die
Think that I know you, but I just can't say goodbye

This is it
Hey now, don't it make you feel better? Come and get it!
This is it
Here we go, we going to fly
Come and get it!
This is it
Hey now, don't it make you feel better? Come and get it!
This is it
Here we go, we going high
Come and get it!

Remember the rising when the lightning filled the air
No compromising in a strapped electric chair, you were there
We never could walk, we always could fly
We never could live, we always could die
Think that I know you but I just can't talk, too high
Think that I know you but I just talk too high
Over your horse and ride

Do you know a better way to make it all good inside?
All the friends have died away, by a new law they abide
And all Gods' children, there they go, judgement on their side
Do you know a better way, to make it all good inside?
And I cry does it make you feel better, sing it

All Gods' children, there they go, taking the free ride


2. Electric Rattlesnake

Just can't win for losing, stare 'em in the eye
An ego made for bruising, a heart that you can't buy
If patience is a virtue, let's set out to sin
I'm all worked up in the desert heat, here I go again
I never seem to smile, you'll find me in the dirt
Your lovable reptile, yeah for what it's worth
I'm poison to your happiness, poison to this song
C'mon down, c'mon down to the ground so we can sing along

Plug me in, yeah, now set me free
I got a two fang grip that you should see
All wrapped up down, 'round your leg
Let me loose, I'm a powder keg
I love you

More
Than you can take
Make no mistake
I'm an Electric Rattlesnake
More
Than you can take
A two fang break
Electric Rattlesnake
All curled up, make no mistake
Two fang deep, got skin to break
Plug me in, got to shake and bake
Electric Rattlesnake
More
Than you can take
No mistake
Electric Rattlesnake

I'm ya satisfaction, give ya skin a glow
The number one attraction, apples packed to go
C'mon down the garden, original sin
Got a two fang bite in the overnight, here I go again
All about just living, living this or that
Shake it up and lay it out, the pigs are getting fat
Bite me as I slither, rape me as I bake
Plug me in baby, then turn me on
I'm your Electric Rattlesnake

Snake bite, color my imagination
In a spiral dream, a hallucination
It comes to me with no reservation
I got the taste, do you mind?
Snake bite, color my imagination
Like a spiral dream of illumination
It fills me up like a medication
I got the taste, do you mind, here I go again


3. Wish You Were Dead

He got retribution
He got loaded guns
Uses silver bullets in the chamber
And shoots them just for fun

He got the solution
Got long lasting pride
He got silver lining in his pocket
And a bag full of alibis

Hey baby, shine the light on me
As I shoot across the sky
Hey baby, I'm your Superman
And somebody gonna die

Got me spinning in circles
Got me towing the line
Got me into the mess I'm in
But the speed has made me blind

Got me spinning in circles
Hanging by a thread
If I had one wish to use, I swear it
I wish you were dead

It's a shallow constitution
It's only homicide
You only get what you make it to be
But your request is denied

Sweet electrocution
Sweeter than the bride
Put an X on the hollow eyes
So we all know that they've died

Hey baby, shine the light on me
As I shoot across the sky
It's all up to Batman
And somebody's gonna die, don't ask why

We got our retribution
Got the final done
We got the spark, we hit the mark
And the killing's just begun

Sweet electrocution
Sweeter by your side
Let it go, let it fly to the sky
And we die

Here we go again! [x2]

Got me spinning in circles
Got me towing the line
Got me into the mess I'm in
But the speed has made me blind

Got me spinning in circles
Hanging by a thread
If I had one wish to use, I swear it
I wish you were dead

Wish you were dead


4. Drop The Hammer

Hold your feet to the fire
Hold your face to the ground
Hold on tight, you're a target baby
Drop the hammer down
I'm a long life, loving hate
I'm a bomb that makes no sound
Could you please, would you loosen these
I'm about to fucking drown

Lowdown and overloaded, keeping you alive
I see that you've exploded
On the other side
Lowdown and lowdown, kicking it around
I see that you've exploded
Drop the hammer down

In a mock execution
In a house of gag and bound
Not the best solution
Drop the hammer down
I'm a long life, hating love
I'm under my dirt mound
If you could stand where we stood
We're not fucking around

Let's hear it for the black and blue
For the tortured soul, for the battered crew
Three cheers for the black and blue
Raise a glass to the beaten down
To their dignity and bloodless frown
Three cheers for the beaten down

Drop dead dreams in a deep, dirt ditch
Buried by a shovel hand
Dead screams from the son of a bitch
Coming out to beat the band
Oh baby how I love your bite
Turn my smile upside down
Oh baby how I hate your light
As you drop the hammer down


5. Save Yourself

Twisting and turning the incessant burning of night
Never quite learning the truth, wrong versus right
Wings that are broken, words never spoken in flight
The future now open, then flashes to hide out of sight

Don't you look so fucking sad, I'll beat you like you never had
Can't hide behind the purity, they'll be no more security
God's not here to serve you now, I;m here to give and show you how

Darkness and light
Naked disaster
Only you can save yourself
Save yourself
Make it go faster
Only you can save yourself
Save yourself

Deadly sensation, the cold liquidation unfolds
Disintegration, in pure isolation they fold
Wheels that are broken, once were outspoken and rolled
The future now open, explode to lose all control

Black ring painted 'round your heart, this is where we're going to start
Can't hide behind that riddled soul, I can see right through the holes
God don't want to beat about, let's clean it up and sort it out

Twisting and turning, the incessant burning
Twisting and turning, burn, burn, burn, burn


6. Black Daze

Name the father, son & the fixer
And to the warmth we all feel inside
Strap it on and pour the elixir
To the days we count as alive

Concrete Jesus in a hell of a fix
He makes his living on a heavy-handed mix
More

Black daze, white haze
Shoot me down the adrenaline highway
Black daze, white haze
Shoot me up, count me alive

Seem to pray whenever I need it
Seem to sin whenever I want
Strap it on intending to bleed it
An easy mark, so nonchalant

Concrete Jesus got the law on his side
He gets his kicks pissing on my pride
Call in the fixer
More

Amputated spirit, executed soul
None but the shell of before
Exterminated feel it as it fills the hole
Here them screaming, they want more
More


7. 21st Century Man

Suck it up, it's a new sensation
He's a 21st century man
Hooked on into the new vibration
You can tell by shaking his hand
Feeling his head throb, he lights up a flash mob

Hey damnation, watch him go now, a better battle plan

Hey mutation, techno freak how, 21st century man
Hey damnation, in your face, he does the best I can
Hey mutation, outer space for the 21st century man

Suck it up as the worlds collide
He's a 21st century man
Living large than he's cast aside
There's got to be a better plan
Preparing for the next war, iPhone in his hand

Feeling his heart jump, turn up the heat pump

All the colors turn to gray
The innocence has gone away
Too much info here to stay
21st century man

Suck it up, and the masturbation
Said the 21st century man
I'm hooked on into a goodbye nation
You can tell by his futile hands
He's heading down the fast road
Limited attention span
Feeling his soul burn
Never did quite learn


8. Old Wounds, New Scars

We ran it out, took another chance
Between the real and the disappear
We turned about, did the devil's dance
Screamed we got to get on out of here
There's no rest for the hunted
They only live to stay alive
So we took our chance with the devil's dance
And kicked it into overdrive

First in and last out, a thorn in the side
First in to fight, let it ride

Got a lot of mouth for a Jersey white boy
Beat the drum, now you've gone too far
Drag it out, eat it up, enjoy
Old wounds, brand new scars

The screams would come, keep us up at night
I couldn't even sleep a wink
Now I beat the drum, find a strange delight
Knowing the my eyes don't blink
There's no meat for the hungry
They only eat to stay alive
So we screamed so loud, that we cleared the clouds
And cheered the swan to dive

The screams would come, keep us up at night
I couldn't even sleep a wink
Now I beat the drum, find a strange delight
Knowing the my eyes don't blink
.....Head don't think

So you see my friend, there is no end, this was only yesterday
So we burned the hope, we took all the dope
It what you carry what it weigh
There's no hope for the hunted, he only play to live by chance
And the overdrive kept us all alive, as the fires burned
At the devil's dance


9. All Over But The Shouting

Once upon a time
When you had us all in line
Thought that we would never learn
The word out on the street
Was you never felt the heat
Even when the fires burned
Then the dogs of war
Barking at your door
Is this what it's all about?
So we broke the deal
It's how it made us feel
Drummer started on the shout

Heard a thousand drummers on a solitary light
Heat of a thousand summers explode into the night
They hid behind the curtains, their faces were concealed
A voice above the ashes screamed
I want to make a deal
I'm back on my heels

Hell raising, drums blazing
All over but the shouting now
Hell raising, drums blazing
Careful what you wish for, you may get it now
Hell raising, drums blazing
All over but the shouting now

The look upon your face
When we blew it into space
And let the pieces fall about
Destruction on the ground
The heart of freedom found
In a voice could only shout
The pain would go away
The pride inside would stay
The blood is dripping you're alive
The ones that stood and fell
Were all remembered well
The cross of an animal 5

Cold calculation got them to fall into line
Annihilation, got them working the shine
They scream and shout
All over but the
Beat generation in a room full of war
Evacuation as the stones hit the door
They want out, all over but the shout

So, once upon a time
When we lit the line
Thought that we would never learn
The word out on the street
They melted in the heat
Even when the fires burned
Then the dogs of war
Scratching at your door
Is it what it's all about?
So we broke the deal
For everything you steal
We start the drummer on the shout


10. Good Night

Hey man, what's it gonna be?
Indecision is killing me
Hey now, turn around
as you're clawing at the ground
It's about to get away
Living in America
Got the mass hysteria
Burning on the right
As you're putting up a fight
And it's just the price to pay
For another perfect day

Show me a good thing, give me the time
Burn on the left wing, scene of the crime
no need begging give me all your money
There's a flat dope fee if all ya want is honey
Show me a good thing, got no more time

hey man, it's a wild thing
Getting what you're going to bring
Hey now, let it out
As it covers up the doubt
And you keep the dogs at bay
Living in the perfect dream
Riding on the laser beam
Tuck 'em in at night
Get a sweet dream bite
And that's just the way it goes
The whole thing fucking blows

Here we come and there they go, in the ever fading light
There's a nightmare waiting, don't you know, it's time to say good night
And all the sweet dreams tucked away, the devil out to fight
There's a nightmare waiting, don't you know, it's time to say good night
Good night kiss

Good night

1. The Green And Black

Mama's revolution has all gone into black
Sin through seven deadly holes, lines up behind your back
I do enjoy your company, we travel in a pack
Bloodstains and scars the badges of the green and black

You and me
Eternity
You and me
Forever we... fly

Hey maybe you're a minute away
You can't get her with nothing to say
And Once you're in, you're never going back
Hey maybe you just don't care
You can't get here and you can't get there
Once you're gone, you're never going back
The green and black

Filthy, little secrets, hide inside your head
Right behind your values, kept until you're dead
I do enjoy the language, nor understand what's said
I fill the holes with madness, green and black and red

Shock
We get to slipping away
You get the breakdown
We get the joke of the day
You get the shakedown
Shock, blind, run and
Give it a play
Load ten ton and
Slipping away
We get the slipping away
But you get the meltdown
Come on slipping away
Give me the breakdown
Slipping away


2. Ironbound

One by one, doing the crime
Never thought twice, never did time
Never turn back, never go home
Never get used to being alone
One by one, into the sea
Too many eyes are staring at me
Two by two, watch as they go
Who are you and what do you know
I got your heart in hand
Never let go

Make it
Take it
Never let go
Tell all you know
This is what you make it, pound the ground
Make it
Take it
Never let go
Tell all you know
How far can you take it as you go... Ironbound

Two by two, iron to bend
Keeping the oath, right to the end
Three by three, breaking some bones
Snapping some neck, never alone
Here they come, rumble and pound
Never get used to hearing that sound
There they go, fast as they came
Never go back, never the same

All my friends are green and black
All my friends are right
All my friends are automatic
They all rule the night
All my friends are think and thin
They've loyalty and heart
Said all of them are green and black
Everyone is right
All my friends are automatic
Born to rule the night


3. Bring Me The Night

I never cared too much, acquired mental health
I let my reputation speak just for itself

I never liked the rules that came 'long with the game
Take me back where the whisper knows my name

Ready to fly; and I'm ready to die
Scare the angel, fly away
Let the devil have his way
Tie your tongue into a knot
Pray to God it never stops
Ready to fly; and I'm ready to die
Fuel me up, let me go
Shut your mouth, going to blow
Hold your ears and shield your eyes
Just a word to the wise

Bring me the night

Electric hammered-run over - knocked around
I won't stay lying on the ground
Take the action it's no good for me
Let's go addiction, call it what you please

Bring me the night


4. The Goal Is Your Soul

A lifelong list of Sundays, wrapped up with a bow
Justifies the greatest answers, that you may never know
The fallen is the viper, reap now what you sow
Screaming from the mountain tops, let his people go
He's down, in hot damnation,
So down like you'll never know
Going down to sweet temptation
Let his people go

In the eternal brood of liar
In the catastrophic fold
Count yourself amongst them
The goal is your soul
On the other side of sanity
Where the goodness dare not go
Count yourself amongst them
The goal is your soul

A lifelong list of blessings, didn't go too far
And all the instinct you were given, wishing on that star
The fallen have your hope and love, the viper never trust
Know they are exchangeable, as you clean away the dust
He's down, in hot damnation,
So down you'll never know
Going down to sweet temptation
Let his people go

All forgiveness flying, screams to fill the air
A lifelong full of blessings rendered, didn't work out fair
All forgiveness lying, screams to fill the hole
A lifelong full -- of blessings given
And the goal is still your soul


5. Give A Little

Standing on your own two feet
Inches away from infernal heat
Sweating like a piece of meat
The story yours, the plan complete
Calling out to no one there
The semblance of a holy prayer
That turns about to curse and swear
As you find that no one cares
I got the ultra thrill
You got the weaker will
You say that no one's there
I say, I've always cared
I'm singing, your plight
Grace dancing, all night

Give a little dominance
Take a little soul
Try a new experience
Doing what you're told
Go get everything you need until you're dead and cold
Give a little dominance
Take a little soul

Wishing never gets it done
Give two minus one
Take away, no there's none
All this bullshit weighs a ton
Field the question never why
Because is why we live and die
So while I'm here, going high
Fuck the limit, fuck the sky
I got the ultra thrill
You got the weaker will
You say that no one's there
I say, I've always cared
I'm singing, your plight
Grave robbing, all night


6. Endless War

Come faster than the speed of light
Slow goin' the forgiving night
I'm a soldier in the endless war
Chained down to the money whore

I'm counting my days I'm jaded oh I'm gettin' sicker
I'm going astray yeah faded oh I'm gettin' sicker

First last and all in between
Let's give them more hell than they've ever seen
Give them something to remember
Give them how and why and what you're living for
First last and all in between the endless war

Eyes dancin' to a crankin' fit
Blood spillin' in the heart I'm hit
Lord knows I can't remember when
I'll be up before you count to ten

Uncounting my days I'm fading I'm gettin' sicker
I'm going astray yeah jaded oh I'm gettin' sicker

First last and all in between
Let's give them more hell than they've ever seen
Give them something to remember
Give them how and why and what you're living for
First last and all in between the endless war oh oh oh oh

Ooh yeah give me the dream give me the all right
Make it a laser beam spectacular spotlight
Brighter than the sun on a summer day
A wind to chase my clouds away
Oh yeah give me the dream make it be all right all right

Oh yeah give me a shot set me a fire
Burnin' like the sun on a metal cage
A wind that fan the flames of rage
Oh yeah give me a shot set me a fire all right

Oh yeah give me a dream
Oh yeah give me a dream
Oh yeah give me a dream
Oh yeah give me a dream

Come faster than the speed of dead
Slow goin' unforgivin' red
I'm a soldier in the endless war
Unchained by the timeless gore

I'm counting my days got jaded oh I'm gettin' sicker
I'm going astray yeah faded oh I'm gettin' sicker

First last and all in between
Let's give them more hell than they've ever seen
Give them something to remember
Give them how and why and what you're living for
First last and all in between the endless war


7. The Head And Heart

I am the head, you are the heart
I am the dead, you are the start
I am the wind, you are the rain

Will you beg for mercy, will you kneel and pray
What will make the nightmares go away (judgement day)
Will you stop pretending, everything's OK
As you drag your bones, another perfect day

Go
I am the dead, you are the heart
I am the dead, you are the start
I am the wind, you are the rain
I've always sinned, you feel the pain

Will you take my sorrow
Will you call my name
Will you be tomorrow
Know the pain

I'm your shadow, curtain call, I keep the hounds at bay
The air you breath is what I choose today
Right behind you, catch your fall, stumble left of light
No pax Romana, now, forever night


8. In Vain

Step on up to the counter boy
Buy yourself a thrill
Shake it out with the deepest breath
As you kneel over your first kill
God is your protector, he keep you safe and warm
The funeral director got the contract when you were born

Come on, my way, we have the warmest fire
Come on, my way, I'll take your there
Come on, my way we got the flying higher
When on my way, I'll take your prayer

We got our religion, we got both the ball and chain
We got retribution, we got everything to cleanse the shame
No set you free, in vain

Listen close going to say it one
You need to get you right
Use the gifts you were given boy
Keep the end in sight
Walk it narrow, walk it clean
Then to the sky and fly
I'm the breath that will fill your lungs
Until the day you die

Start living
Start dying
Start praying
Start flying
Pinning the face to the floor, slamming and locking the door
Start living
Start dying
Start praying
Start flying
Holding the face to the ground
Turning the world upside down, start dying


9. Killing For A Living

A sense of peace was falling on the universal night
And it gave me a pause to reason why I live
To never cease the calling of the consequential right
And it gave me cause and reason why they give
The first thing I remember was the shadow 'cross my heart
And they matched the beauty hidden in their soul

The next was 'cross the universe, as it came apart
And the sum of the parts became whole

Stalking and hunting, profession in blood
Working the night to a throne
Chalking an outline, experience must
Invisible, never alone

I can take you anywhere
Take all that you give
I can free you from despair
Killing just to live

Live to kill
Kill to live
Killing for a living, killing just to live

I looked across the answers, though questions didn't exist
And found that I was never alone
We cut away the cancer and continued to resist
But the outcome of the night remained unknown
The next thing I remember were the years across my face
And they matched only the beauty of scars
The next was 'cross the universe into time and space
And to know together, we'd have to go too far

Bleeding a nation, casualty time
Breaking the back of the core
Promised salvation, a casual crime
Feeding and fucking the whore
Make my living on borrowed time
I make the clock stand still
Keep my hands 'round what is mine
Living just to kill
Live to kill
Kill to live

C'mon now kill a little kindness, give the worst of your best
C'mon now and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest
I can give you reasons, 2-5 to the bone
They can give you all you ever wanted
When you're far away from home
C'mon now kill a little kindness, give the worst of your best
C'mon now and shake a little madness, put the dead to rest

So as the plot will thicken and time is not a friend
The blessing comes but one in a life
Across the crowded universe that hastens to an end
Through memories of one time in a night
And what will I remember through the by and by
To have and hold and turn about the chill
That this was not the pause to die
But to live to kill


10. The SRC

Come and get it, hit it like a lightning strike
Come and get it, wear it like an iron spike
They ain't got your number and no, nobody's right
Come and get it like you mean it, it'll be alright

No more talking, no end result
Subterranean Resistance Cult

Now you got it, hold it, like it means your life
Never going to let it go, grip it to the oh so tight
And no one gives forgiveness, when nothing's going right
Now you got it, shine it up yeah and take a bite

No more talking 'bout where you've been
Welcome home with a cup of sin
No more talking to end result
Subterranean Resistance Cult

C'mon give me lower c'mon give me deep
C'mon take me underground up here the talk is cheap
Gone underground, sink it deep
Sink it deep
Gone underground, sink it deep
Sink it deep
C'mon give me lower, c'mon give me deep
C'mon take me underground up here the talk is cheap

1. Devils In The Mist

Pray for the days of glory
Long gone the master plan
Gone is the pride of independence
Sacrificed like a lamb
Here is the same old story
Here where the honor ran
There was a price for the consolation
Walking in hand in hand

Thy kingdom come, he came to fear it
He's on the Judas list
Thy will be done, and fondled spirit
See's devils in the mist

Give me pure resolution
Give what all I can
Give me some more of what I can take,
Feed me from your garbage can
Let me have the absolution
Let me stand like a man
Let me walk tall with the godforsaken,
Walking out hand in hand

One more godforsaken
Ten to make him pay
A kiss from Judas and temptation
Sends him on his way
Passes on redemption
Ten to make him right
Another kiss of Judas lands
Before he sees daylight...
Into his night
Hot

One more godforsaken
Ten to make him pray
A kiss from Judas and temptation
As I heard him pray

Thy kingdom come, he came to fear it
He's on the Jesus list
Thy will be done, and ruined spirit
See's devils in the mist


2. What It Takes

Train-train burning like a absolute,
Drunk with the love of the fire
Brain-brain burning and the leather boot.
Kicking like he never gets tired...
I saw the coming of the faster than light speed,
Burning track, conventional fool
Wham-crack-bam-slap
Far out of sight speed,
Hammered like a kicking mule

Here we come now, here we go

Need you now, no mistakes
Stand up tall and give me,
What it takes

Hit the ground running,
I was faster than the light speed
Burning before my feet hit the floor
Damn machine gunning
Kept me far out of sight feed,
Pull the shades and lock all the
1-2-3-Door

I saw the coming-coming, into the void
And I was drunk with the love of the fire
Was a knock-down, drag-out
Never fail me boots
I was kicking like I never get
1-2-3-More

Need you now, no mistakes
Stand up tall and give me,
What it takes
Need you now, I'm not afraid
Stand up straight and kick me
If that's what it takes

Little hot, a little cold
A little young is growing old
A little prick, a little bold,
Never did what he was told
I'll tell ya why you're feeling bad,
A little played, a little sad
A little more you never had,
A little sane is going mad
Seems you had enough of me,
Enough or more eternity
I'll tell you what I'm going to be,
I'm going to be your misery
And when you feel you're going to break,
Say your prayers for goodness sake
We're going to see what you can take,
We're going to see now what it takes
Count it as you did before, count it out 2-2-3-4
Count it when you're going to break
Count it out it's what it takes
Count it when you're feeling bad,
Count it when you're going mad
Count on me for goodness sake,
Count on it and what it takes
What it takes


3. Skull And Bones

[Features Randall Blythe (Lamb of God) on vocals]

All buys are final the act suicidal
A moment defining a life
Not hatred or racial, goddamn, insulatial
Confusion controlling the strife
The pain now consuming
There'll be no exhuming
Destroying the core of the lie
The man with his hand-up
Had just better shut-up
God lights-up and sits to the right

When I had you
Dancing like a angel in my hand
When I need you, counting time
A trillion grains of sand

The commission/skull and bones
Extradiction/skull and bones

Landing a knockout, negotiate lockout
The war in the crescent was theirs
The prices grew higher, the need for the buyer
The cost, loss of life, splitting hairs
The pain all consuming, for those without grooming
Not taken the time yet to learn
The man feels deserted, and Toby's perverted
God sits back, and waits his turn

When I had you
Dancing like a angel in my hand
When I need you, counting time
A trillion grains of sand
When I had you standing like a soldier in my hand
When I need you,counting lives a trillion grains of...

Strict obligation to deterioration,
Other blood is all over me
For the good of the nation a world obligation
Welcome to the society

I was born with the right and the financial might,
To put a price on your head so worth living
Shot with the light on the very same night,
That you thought that your god was so giving

Hammer-hammer down you, one time alone
For the order of the nation
Hammer-hammer down you, skull and bones
A full, life-long sensation


4. Shadow Of A Doubt

Give me your love, give me your money
Give me your soul, let me have it honey
All lined up, paint 'em red
All lay down, praying me dead
Here you go baby, a birthday surprise
Bes believe your eyes
Cover them in roses
Cover them in lies
Dress them up in persecution
Best believe your eyes

Nothing you hear, half of what your seeing
Make myself clear, talk about believing
3-5-7 and a bottle of blood
All went down to heaven, hell's full of the good
All over baby, here's a big surprise
Best believe your eyes
Cover them in roses
Cover them in lies
Dress them up in persecution
Best believe your eyes

6-6-6-6-6-6
Your enemies, your demons scream to get out
Beyond the shadow of a doubt

Listen to your spirit scream,
Wring your soul out until it's clean
Well beyond the shadow of a doubt
Kiss your purity goodbye
Squeeze you tight so you won't die
All your demons screaming to get out
Hear the footsteps, feel the breath
Good intentions lead to death
All your enemies are looking out
Well beyond the shadow of a doubt
Well beyond the shadow of a doubt


5. Hellish Pride

Ain't nobody listening, ain't nobody there
Somebody is screaming this ain't fair
30 pieces glistening, speak up if you dare
That is what the book said if you care
Sheep and god, the fourth, independence,
Waiting to be led
Deep the pain, the sting of dependence
This is what he said

I'll take you all the way,
A lifetime spent in just one day
I'll take you out the other side
It's my hellish pride

Sweet Jesus in the midnight sun
On fire as the day is won
You got to know that it's cold outside
Why don't you come for a ride
I got a hellish pride

Think that something's missing
Or something's just not fair
Somebody is hanging over there
I was at my own christening
I wasn't quite aware
I didn't have the choice to even dare
I fell asleep at night independence
Waiting for the word
In nightmares and deceit of dependence
This is what I heard

I'll take you anyway
Hopeless, faithless, it's okey
I'll take you on the lifetime ride
It's my hellish pride
Fire


6. Walk Through Fire

Wake a little woozy, feeling shitty
Overdone, over tired
Waling like you lose, just shitty, wherever you go
Are you happy with the congregation
Do you find that you always need more
Are you wishing on a constellation
Do you find that your throat's always sore

You know what they needed
You know what they like
You got them believing
That all of it's right

One moment, one man
One time does the best he can
One push and one desire
One time he walk through fire

Got an itty-bitty-shitty-over
Now start the fire
Just enough pity left to start
What you don't want to know
Are you happy with your contribution
Do you find that you always want more
Are you praying for the revolution
Looking forward to your day in court


7. Head On

What's the sense of running blind
If you never know where you go
What's the sense of suicide
If the crash is all you know
I'm a right-down, lower than the low
Collecting other people's sins
What's the sense, if you got to go
If you don't know where you been

A classic indication, march out of time
A standard application and you're not the kind
I'm coming

Blessed retribution; head-on, never stall
Running, head-on to the wall
Unholy damn solution, head-on, never fall
Running, head-on to the wall

All the promises that you made
Made you right with what you did
All the freedom that you trade
On the block for the highest bid
I'm an up here, higher than high-sight
On a self inflicted grin
With a back-door larger than life-light
So you can see where you been

C'mon, now baby shine a light on me,
Can you see me just a little bit
Cleanse you of the sorrow and your misery,
Wash away the pain with a hit
Tell me what you're waiting for
C'mon little lazy take a walk with me
Will you reach out will you take my hand
C'mon little lazy will you let it be,
Or will you walk on to the promised land
Tell me what you're waiting for
C'mon now baby shine the light on me,
Can you use me just a little bit
C'mon little lazy will you walk with me,
We'll wash away the pain and the shit


8. Chaly Get Your Gun

Hey, hey smokey with the iron grip
Bang-bang knocking it down
Hangman headed on the psycho trip
He gives the best stretch around
I got the hear say, no where to run
I got a bed on the sun
I got it loaded just before we were found
They give the best holes around

Looking down the barrel of your best friend
Something in the air
Smells just like you've already won

Sweet mother Mary, will you let me be
I'm trying just to find my way home
Everything coming up catastrophe
Pandemonium ruling the dome
They got the numbers and the outside won
They got a rope around the sun
But I put the hangman in a cold-dirt mound
He gave the best stretch around

Looking down the barrel of your best friend
Something in the air
Smells just like you've already won
Looking down the barrel of your best friend
Something in the air
Smells just like Chalie get your gun

Call me suicide
Call me getting stronger
Call me when the sun is gone
Call me homicide
Call me sane no longer
Call me when the race is won
Chalie get your gun


9. Hell Is

Sweeter, then you leave me
Hanging on a circle
Nine to the center of eternity divine

And if you don't believe me
Sorrow has a purpose
Forgiving indiscretions, left for me the blind

And when the judgement rendered
Incapacitation
Forever is just nothing when your trading it for time
Angel on my shoulder
Devil in my pocket
I'm just doing fine, on the line

Hell is, for the not like them
All fired up and ready for the promised land
Hell is, for the other man
All fired up, doing the best he can

Attendance is required
For those less inspired
Patience is a vice counting one through nine

And if it was desire
That brings you into fire
The outer rings are knocking
For the very last time

All the souls are grieving
Murderers are thieving
Suffer at the core is a friend of mine

Angel on my shoulder
Devil hot and colder
I'm just doing fine, on the line

We condemn, false accusation
We condemn, man's liberation
We condemn, no reservation
We condemn, abomination
We condemn, all accusation
We condemn, man's innovation
We condemn, no reservation
We condemn, abomination

Bitter as you grieve me, never did you believe me
Judgement at the center of eternity divine
Contentment is illusive, religiously intrusive
Tell me where to go, tell me where to sign

An when the child's finished
And the man diminished
Remember that he is still a friend of mine
Angel in my pocket, devil on a rocket
I'm just doing fine


10. Overkill V...The Brand

Ride the wind son
Through my eyes
You'll see where you must stand

Remember what your purpose is
And that you were the brand

Awaken in me if you can
The deaths by one's own hand
Remember where you came from
And that you wear the brand...
You wear the brand

Blatant, born in fire
With little more to say
Than action speaks the loudest
And yield the only way
To quench the thirst,
Desire, swifter than the hand
In bloody fascination
His pride to wear the brand

Taking over, victims fall, side by side they lay
For years of dedication, the nightmare in decay
Ride across your stormy past
Blow by blow you land
Bloody persecution breeds
Allegiance to the brand

Bend and twist and tear the will
Show them where you've been
A tribute to your Overkill
A multitude of sin

Away-away no time to stay
The union it still stands
Willingness, donation
We all display, the brand

1. Within Your Eyes

Torn in disarray, Hear now what I say
Brand your people, let them go
Send them on their way
Worn the fired plead, give them what they need
Kill your people let them die
Before they plant the seed
Born, the black creation
Sure, to never die

In crimson sorrow rise, not to compromise
No one knows where the cold wind blows
Until it's in their eyes
In guarded disbelief, the crimson turns to grief
The loyalty you knew so well
Now stuck between your teeth
Born, in desolation
Sure, to never die
I am, God's creation
I see the light of death
Within your eyes

Breath the devil's creation
With a mouthful of flies
I am the scourge of the nation
Harbored within your eyes

Never wore the crimson red
Never thorns adorned the head
When was what we used to be
Now is what we'll always see
Left unto compacency
To right the wrong conspiracy
Never what you used to see
With eyes adorned in misery
Choose commit right or wrong
The road reaming ever long
Truth in anger's compromise
That shine the lies within your eyes
Never was mistaken, nevere was the prize
Never unforsaken, hide within your eyes
Never an illusion, the ever rising tide
This the constitution, harbored in your eyes


2. Love

Come, come, come alive,
Protect me from myself
Come, come satisfy
Will I ever tell
Touch me with your fire
Your everlasting glow
Lead me to your inner peace
That I only know

Stay, stay, stay alive
Take me from your shelf
Will you have to try
To keep me from myself
Cover me in secrets
Blanket me in hope
Give me faith, so I can too
Untie this holy rope

This is..... love

Will you come if I don't call
Help me if I fall
All about jst living
Deep inside your wall
Speak your sweet desire
With your devil breath
Lead me through your chaos
Before I am put to death

Will you be around
If I come unwound
Keep me in your inner
Sanctum of the bound
Feel my torrid blessing
Cast upon your cheek
Touch the hand that leads you
To eternal sleep

The damage to the under
World of light
A medal on the chest of right
A contradiction
A no one knows
Speak your mine, and go

Come, come come alive
Take me from your shelf
Never satisfied
I will never tell

The damage to the under
World of light
A scar upon the face of right
A contradiction
A no one knows
Speak your mine, and go


3. Loaded Rack

Rolling like a thunderfucker, green light night trucker
Got an eye full a' something to love
Get it up, bring it down, I know it over 'till I hit the ground
Train sane homicide, nothing like a suicide
Gaze into the skies abover
Keep it up, knock it down, I don't see anybody else around

I will eat your soul in broad daylight
Front the all seeing watchful eye
Barrel like a train in the dead of night
Where the good things pass me by
I am always ready, though I never had no guns
I am holding steady, with a bullet in my....
RRRRRRRRun

All I want is just a loaded rack
Domination, strapped across my back
All I want is just to keep it low
Do I need to tell you
Where you can go

Keeping with the time line, had my fill turpentine
Drank until I didn't know why
Lift it up, chug it down,
Wonder why I'm always layin' on the ground
Waste face out a place, just outside the human race
(Keep it) in the (bloodshot) public eye
Style up, bring it down
Think they all hate me, when I do fall down
Screaming like a hog tied, pig slut crunch
In my own private Slaughterhouse 5
Spittin' out the souls that I ate for lunch
And I'm happy just to be alive
I'm not always ready, but I can't speak for my guns
Sometimes I think I'm Freddy
Though he never had no...................... fun

I can't believe my hands are growing cold
Give me all the good inside your soul


4. Bats In The Belfry

Sick as the sickest only can be
Armies of crazy crawling' all over me
Shaky at best is the ground where I stand
A frozen moment I just don't understand
Bats, in the belfry
Bats, in the belfry

C'mon now, let me feel you get on it
C'mon now, let me have it my way
C'mon now, when you can't really stop it
Open up the window got bats in the belfry
Bats, in the belfry
Bats, in the belfry

Pasted and wasted, taller than God
Burning my churches and blowing my wad
Quakin' beneath me, the ground that I own
A frozen moment that I'll always call home
Bats, in the belfry
Bats, in the belfry

C'mon....... Got bats in the belfry
Hold on..... rats on the way
C'mon....... Got bats in the belfry
Open up the window
Bats in the belfry


5. A Pound Of Flesh

Bloodshot on the panicked eye
Too gone for resolution
Too late for the gallant try
Or to find his own solution
Pray save us or to buy the plan, vengeance is my name
Too deep for a drowning man too deep to call him sane
In the farthest place from you
Where blood drips through your hands
The action deafens every word
That runs your master plan

[Chorus:]
Higher, go higher
Know you've paid for the best
Higher, go higher
Can't pay in cash, take a pound of your flesh

Turned out where you're left to die
Turned into this destruction
Set free where you only fly
To a promised resurrection
Pray save me, or to find a way, bathing in my blame
Tapped out but he has to pay, vengeance is my name
In the closest place to you
Where water fills your hands
Your thirst is gone with every taste
That fuels your master plan

[Chorus:]
Higher, go higher
Know you've paid for the best
Higher, go higher
Pay with your love, or a pound of your flesh

Don't know you're fucking with the best
All the competition laid to rest
Humble as you crawl out of the mess
One by one I count my pounds of flesh


6. Keeper

When I feel the pressure rise
My heart beats through
The shadow of your hallow eyes, at any cost
When I steal into those eyes
Your sun beats through
To take me by complete surprise, and is all lost

And when I fear, what I hear
A voice cuts through the shadows
Like a razor knife, to pay the cost
To disappear, far to near
And cast a light that falls upon
My darkest night, but is all lost

Spill your sacred water
On your sacred ground
Chant your holy verse
Unbound, unbound
Sacrifice your daughter
Kill your fatted cow
Orchestrate the slaughter
It’s now, now

Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone away
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your skies
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side

Spit your truth, upon the plate
That feeds the need
To justify without mistake
For god’s sake
Run your hope through my veins
That keeps us safe
And gives us faith to cleanse the pain
For our sake

Spill your sacred water
On your sacred ground
Chant your holy verse
Unbound, unbound
Sacrifice your daughter
Kill your fatted cow
Orchestrate your slaughter
It’s now, it’s now

Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone away
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your skies
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side

Lock it up in liberty
Hide in sight for all to see
Called through night and purity
Kept in sight for you to be
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes

Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone arye
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your skies
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side


7. Wheelz

What you going to do when the walls come down
When the searchlights flash and the sirens sound
If your name is called will you be around
Will you keep a’ rolling
Where you going to hide when they look for you
Will you march in time, will you see it through
Make me proud, the least you can do
Wheelz will keep us rolling

Now to a fault can I speak the name
From where we go and whence we came
Standing tall to share the blame
Time only knows tolling
Count out the scars, that pollute the mind
Where the critics lay and the enemy find
They find, no one
We are burning more than just a moment

Wheelz to the moment that takes us where we are
Wheelz to the volunteer that’s gone too far
Wheelz to the few we love, our loyalty and trust
Wheelz to our moment, the best of us

When the price is high and betrayal ripe
Would you rather run, or will you stay and fight
Will you give me hope, will you give me light
You have to keep me rolling
And if I fall, right next to you
Will you lift me up, will you see me through
You know I’d do the same for you
You have to keep me rolling

Where you going to stand, when the bastards drool
When the bitches cry, in the line of fools
Will you give me strength, so I can too
Never stop the rolling
I am honoured to have known your name
So proud I am that you feel the same
As we go from whence we came, rolling
We are burning more than just the moment
We are living more than in a moment

Wheelz to the moment that takes us where we are
Wheelz to the volunteer that’s gone too far
Wheelz to the few we love, our loyalty and trust
Wheelz to our moment, the best of us

Take up arms, stand in a line
Listen to the march that takes you through time
Find what you need in the sound of the drum
And feel in your heart, what only few have done

Wheelz to the moment that takes us where we are
Wheelz to the volunteer that’s gone too far
Wheelz to the few we love, our loyalty and trust
Wheelz to our moment, the best of us

The best of us


8. The Mark 2:14

Steal it, take it, know my name in loving memory
Sand it, brand it, in your brain, a forthright eulogy
I am but a sinner here, my faults are underlined
I have but to hold you near to cleanse the sins of time

I have known you, all too well
I have shown you, all too well
I have thrilled you, all too well
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to

Speak up, calling my name out
Speak up, the shattering of doubt
This is where you start
With nails run through your heart
Leave the name, burned in the brain
Leave your mark

Find it, blind it with your light or curse to be alive
Will it, kill it in your night, commit yourself to thrive
You are but a sinner hear, each breath is now your crime
You have but to shed a tear, to wash away the time

I have known you, all too well
I have shown you, all too well
I have thrilled you, all too well
I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to

Speak up, calling my name out
Speak up, the shattering of doubt
This is where you start
With nails run through your heart
Leave the name, burned in the brain
Leave your mark

Give me your principles, values and hope
Or I’ll take them away
Not so convincible if you can’t cope
Or rise to the day
Worn out the morals that lit up the path
Now gone to the dark
Frayed are the laurels, igniting the wrath
They left in the mark
Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in light
Wrap me in indestructible light

Way down the road it’s better, believe me
Way down the road it’s gone (god)
Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod)
Way down the road it’s better, believe me
Way down the road it’s gone (god)
Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me
Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod)


9. Play The Ace
Fair haired lady and the suicide king
Kill the brother of the one eyed jack
Two side of shady as the angels sing
That the jack ain’t coming back
Double down hide as the preacher folds
And you sweat right out of your clothes
Aces higher than the suicide king
With a pair right under his nose

Dead pan, poker face, where you lie
The angels sing the same
Hey man, choker taste where you die
Carving out your given name
Drive a spade right through your heart
Or a chance just being alive
Is it murder, right handed, art
Is it real or all contrived
God help you

All bets are taken, this table is closed
While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes
It’s a disgrace

Get down on the dead
They been taking over the graveyards
You gotta play the ace
Get down on your head
It’s been overriding the good cards
Gotta play the ace

Green-eyed monster got the twinkle right
Got the evil in his eye
One sick as a dog looks a little tight
He can’t breathe, he gonna die
As you pound your fist in anger
Words sharper than a blade
But the green-eyed monster is a sure motherfucker
As he plays I tout in spades
God help him

All bets are taken, this table is closed
While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes
It’s a mistake

Blame it on the dead
They been taking over the graveyards
Play the ace
Blame it on your head
It’s been overriding the good card
Play the ace

See it, raise it, call it, show
In a sinner’s room of liars
In the all time hell bound race
And the devil, he’s on fire
As the band played on the ace
The ace

See it, raise it, call it, show
The dead sit lifeless in the chair they chose
It’s a national disgrace
The green-eyed monster got a real bad dose
As the band played on the ace
Play the ace
Play the ace
Play the ace
Play the ace
Play the ace


10. Old School

We played it fast, we played it loud
A bit too much, a bit too proud
The only way we knew to do it right
It washed away the misery
So do you know your history
Or did you only show up for the fight

Now all my friends are heading to L’Amour
Half of them are bounced right out the door
And if we had the chance to say
Not to go another way

Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain, stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck

Yeah there’s blood all over me
I caught the eye of Johnny Z
Bang your head, thrash around the pit
Who the fuck woulda thunk
They’re playing us on Eddie Trunk
Catch some air, dive, who gives a shit

And all my friends are heading to the Ritz
Bobby G, Rat Skates, DD & Blitz
And if we get the chance to play
No, we’ll never go away

Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain, stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck

Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain, we stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck

Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool
We drank some beers and broke some heads
We never gave a shit
Climbed every mountain, stormed every city
They said that this would never last
We never gave a fuck

Oh to be the fire, I am just a man
Oh to walk the wire, believing that I can
And reach on down the you're throat
To tear it out
Find out what the beating's all about

[Chorus]
Justify my envy
Jealousy to fail
In perfect, deadly, harmony
hold the devil by the tail
Devil, by the tail

Oh to slay the liar, he speaks for me, a man
Oh to try, conspire, believing that I can
And reach into your heart
To pull it out
Find out what the beating's all about

[Chorus]

Run your devil up the pole
Into my domain
The forgotten drool, like rabid dogs
By any other nmae
They growl, they bark, they gnaw at me
I still hear them wail
Pray to hold what I hold
A devil by the tail
Devil, by the tail
Run your devil, out your soul
By another name
Devil, by the tail
Run your devil, take control
Before we go insane
Devil, devil

Hey mr. Lucifer, do you have my pay
I'm done with wroking here as of today
Hey mr. Savior do you ever seem to fail
And got what I got, a devil by the tail

Devil by the tail, devil by the tail


2. Damned

Took a little time, before we're done to love me
Took a little more than I ever did before
Took your bad intentions
Took all your excite
And if I didn't mention
Took my inhuman rights
It's a heavy-weight title bout
The more I live the more I find out

[Chorus]
Damned, for if I love me
Damned, for if I care
Damned, for all the make you feel betters
As the damned scream this ain't fair
Damned, for if I love me
Damned, for if I care
Damned, for all the make you feel betters
As the damned scream this ain't fair

Had a little time before I went and fucked me
Had a little trouble, getting up off the floor
Had you're I'm not like that
Had a hand up in my face
Head bobbing like a wet rat
No love for the human race
The more fuel, the farther I go
The more I live the more I...
No-no-no

[Chorus]

Damned if I do and damned if I don't
Damned if I will and damned if I won't
Damned for your screamin' that this ain't fair
God damn your screamin', I don't care

Took a little time before you tried to fuck me
Made a little spot for you right there, on the floor
So fuck your good intentions
Fuck your human rights
Fuck your finger in my face
This time I'm gonna bite

[Chorus]


3. No Lights

You know when I think of you
And I feel to let it out
For what we did pursue
And all we were about
And when I think of Who
Flooding me with light
Don't think you need to hear this
Yeah, you did it right

[Chorus]
It's over, but yeah, we have taken the light
It's over, by winning for losing the fight
Over, it's over, it's over
It's gone into flight
Right here by my side
As I ride

I found meaning
In the words that you would speak
And I found strength
Inside the fact that we were weak
And when I picture you
Covered in our rags
If this man shall fall
Who will take the flag

Hard rubber and a wind-blown face
Got a full-blown eight-eight
To get us home
No trouble got an extra ace
A stand-up, throw-up
Never let me be alone
Over, it's over, it's over
You've taken my lights
Over, it's over, it's over
Right here by my side
As I ride

To have known you
Still helps to get me through
And to thank you now
Is all that I could do
And when I motor on
On into the night
I know that you are there
I know you are my lights

Over, it's over, it's over
You've taken my lights
Over, it's over, it's over
Right here by my side
As I ride
There's no light
As I ride


4. The One

An all out panic, thrashing
Splitting you in half
Mistook the sobbing for a laugh
Travel close concealed
I'll leave the dorr ajar
So who has taken you this far
You've been here before

Call if you need
I'm right over here
With a finger on the trigger
And if you need me
Fall and you'll bleed
As the demon appear
It's time to stand, deliver
And if you know me

[Chorus]
I am your stand and deliver
I am your shot (golden gun)
I am you're voice in the sliver
(I am, I am, I am the one)
I am your stand and deliver
I am your shot (golden gun)
(I am, I am, I am the one)

Now when you get inside
Be careful what you say
Don't be mistaken for the prey
Low to the ground is best
Attend to the bizarre
So who has taken you this far
I've seen you before

Call if you need
I'm right over here
With a finger on the trigger
And if you need me
Fall and you'll bleed
As the demon appear
It's time to stand, deliver

[Chorus]


5. Crystal Clear

Fingernails, that pierce your tender flesh
And a silent scream of your new faith profess
I am a piece of eternal satisfaction
I am the serpent wrapped around your feet

Deep inside your burning
Virgin Ear
Oh to stop the yearning, now
Crystal Clear

Blind and staked you to a belly crawl
And set to take, embrace your final fall
I am the guide to the new temptation, fallout
I am a breath of polluted air you breath

[Chorus]
Deep inside your burning
Virgin Ear
Oh to stop the yearning, now
Deep inside you're learning
To face your fear
Floating, moaning, turning
Crystal Clear

Innocence has fallen
At the feet of the need
Lust has taken over
Watch it feed
Blessed into temptation
In the beholder's eye
Offered on the altar
On high
Are you here for the calling
Are you here to abide
Have you come from the falling
Deep inside

[Chorus]


6. The Sound Of Dying

Listen up now
Got a fistful of reason
And a faceful of fear
That I wear with a frown
As the killer does bow
Time will allow
As I pass through the season
And it all comes clear that
The killer I see
Is the most I fear
Is the killer in me

Take me, where I got to go
Show me, what I need to know
Where I got to go
Here it comes now

[Chorus]
The sound you hear
Crystal clear
Is the sound of fear
The sound of dying, dying

Right to a fault
Methodic perfection
There's a road to the left
That I walk to see
Does the killer know me
Come into the vault
With a daily rejection
And on though the tears
That the killer I see
Is the most I fear
Is the killer in me

Take me, where I got to go
Show me, what I need to know
Where I got to go
Here it comes now

[Chorus]

Just for killing
Just got to move me
Just in time
Because, someone better kill me
Dumb and willing
Just enough to lose me
Killer comes calling
On a misty night in Jersey
Will you let him in
Will you be his friend
Will you take him to the place
Where you want it to end
Killer comes killin'
On a misty night in Jersey
Hear the sound of dying

Listen up now
Got a fistful of reason
And a faceful of fear
That I wear with a frown
As the killer does bow
Time will allow
As I pass through the season
And it all comes clear that
The killer I see
Is the most I fear
Is the killer in me

Take me, where I got to go
Show me, what I need to know
Where I got to go
Here it comes now

[Chorus]


7. Until I Die

Dope, black suicide
Eyes that look right through me
Dead white feeling fine
The eyes are in a hurry
Into the ensuing flood
Look into never be
Swimming 'round in a pool of blood
A pool she bleeds for me

[Chorus]
Time to realize the force inside me
Seems to paralyze and go away
Broken and burnin'
And running the lie
Breakin' and burnin' me
Until I die

Stone cold occupied
Thoughts that I thought I knew
When only you seem right
I seem to walk right through you
Face down in the comfort of
What you've given me
I have resolved myself
To what will never be
Walking next to me
The stark reality
Of what will never be
[Chorus]

If I had my way
I'd tear it down
Start anew, up from the ground
And dare I say
I want you near me
To live inside this world so cold
Another day
Another kill me
Another shot to be so bold

Dope black suicide
And eyes that like right through you
Dead white feeling fine
I could never hurt you

[Chorus]


8. Struck Down

Levelled, hammered, gone today
God will have me his own way
Smokin' hun is what I see
Do you know am I free

FACE IT, KILL IT
Beat it to the ground
TURN IT, BURN IT
Gone without a sound
Struck down

Locked and tortured by the dream
Fight the demon to be clean
Wanton wounds are why I bleed
Do you know, can I see

[Chorus]
FACE IT, KILL IT
Beat them where they stand
TURN IT, BURN IT
Fire through your hand
Release them into nothing
Give them upside down
Cut the ties that bind you tight
Commend them to the ground
Release them into nothing
You stand, struck down

Hear me screaming up to heaven
Watch me fall to hell
Hear me, hear us
We are the gone
The horde rejected
See me, see us
We are the ones
The ones proteced

[Chorus]

Ashes-ashes, dust to dust
God will have me if he must
Demon crawl all over me
Did you know, I'm not me

[Chorus]


9. Unholy

Gimme, gimme, gimme some candy baby
I got the crave I got to fill
Lemme, lemme, lemme some money, maybe
I'm gonna buy everything you sell
Take it on down, take what you want, yeah
Pay me later, gotta place to be
Move it on in, take it on over
What's that face, you know me

Here but now it's gone
Here to carry on
Nothing more to say
Your mind has gone away

[Chorus]
Unholy fill the moment out
Of your mind
The damn has spilled the secret out
Deaf dumb and blind

Wanna-wanna give ya what you're looking for
Make it all better like I did before, right
When you find, when you find you gotta choice
And the screams you hear are your own voice
Turn it on up, turn it into stone
Love me later, gotta, gotta go
Move it on in, take it on home
Wipe that face, you don't know

Here but now it's gone
Here to carry on
Nothing more to say
Your mind has gone away

[Chorus]

Live your life
Live it through me
Leave your mind
Where it should be
Is the truth
So hard to find
Is the truth
Out of your mind

Here but now it's gone
Here to carry on
Nothing more to say
Your mind has gone away

[Chorus]


10. I Rise

Voluntary action, leading to the scar upon the face
Planning the reaction, the color, the moment paint the place
In blood, in fire, calling you back home to the demise
In black, desire, calling you, witnessing the rise

[Chorus]
God damn this light
Take it out
Let me see what you to hide
The parasite
Has his way
Until the day
I rise

In pure retribution, remorseful as the moment of his birth
In reconciliation, he ponders a solution in the dirt
In blood, in fire, a blessing of the few, immortalize
In black, desire, a calling to the witness of the rise

[Chorus]

Awaken, in time
God, self, liberty
Broken into
Pride all over me
Soaring, climbing
Self, god liberty
Broken by ym
Drive to set it free
Fire in my freedom
Hatred in my heart
Long live the kingdom
As the king does fall apart

Back off the ceremony
Count all the flies
Fight through the maggots
To reachthe underly
Pushing to infinty
Laughs replaced by cries
Push into liberty
Sanctify the rise
God damn your light
It's in my eyes
God dman the will to kill me
God damn your pride

[Chorus]

1. Thunderhead

Nothing but lying and killing and dying in this dream
Anything better than what we better believe
No mention of freedom no glory hallelu
No mention you freedom I'm coming home for you
Life was but of a simple dream of doing what was right
Broken into pieces as day turns into night
Life was but a simple dream now all I see is red
Broken into fragments by the thunderhead
[CH]
Send the word ahead don't wanna be alone
Time to wake the dead I'm coming home
Send this word ahead now I'm cast in stone
Feel the thunderhead I'm coming home
I'm coming home Thunderhead
I'm coming home Thunderhead
I'm coming home Thunderhead
I'm coming
Everyone crying and burning and frying in my dream
Everyone needs just a little bit more to believe
Intention no bleeding thinking what I have to do
Intention more bleeding I'm coming home for you
Life was just a simple dream of doing what was right
Broken into pieces when day turned into night
Life was but a simple dream now all I see is red
Broken into fragments feel the thunderhead


2. Bleed Me

Bleed me, Let it out slow suck me dry
You got to feed me take me down low
Where those angels fly
Aint nothing that I need no more
Like a full truckload of pain
All over like the final score
With a fist full of open veins, you got to bleed me
To all the people that I loved I hated lied
To all my enemies that tried
[CH]
Bleed me
Read me torn out pages in an open book
Got to please me one more razor now before I cook
Getting hotter as the seconds pass
But I'm told that's what I need
Getting colder now it's flowing fast
But I'm told that's why I bleed
To all the people that I loved I hated lied
To all my enemies that tried
[CH]
[BR]
I remember sitting in the open air
I remember calling out your name
I remember clearly that I didn't care
I hadn't changed
I need to go away
I need to leave you here
I need to face my fears


3. What I'm Missin'

In a wiped-out section of your sanity
Somewhere next to mine
There's a line between what is and what should be
A line you'll never find
It takes me far away from me, it keeps me where I've been
In the blackout, rage-filled, kill the sanity
No I never win
Take me far away from me safe within your heart
Take me where I cannot fall apart
Keep me close Don't let me go
Teach me what I need to know
Take the time & show me once again
What I'm missin'
[CH]
There's a little somethin' eats away at me
Deep inside my soul
Behind the wall of pure insanity
Where my dark unfolds
it takes me far away from me to a darker place
In the chaos I kill sanity, it's me I cannot face
[CH]
[BR]
WAKE
Let the sleeping lie, let 'em drop, let 'em lay
Just let 'em die
FALL
To a brand-new high, where I drop, where I lay
Where my inner dies
TAKE
What I need inside, for the long-haul vision
For the long hard ride
WALL
That I hit head on, it's the cost, the payment
It's gone


4. Death Comes Out To Play

When the hand of fate will slap you
All has gone array no more bargains
Death comes out to play
With a loss of vision control
All has gone away no more compromise
Death comes out to play
In the darkened boneyard
Aint no other way
I will be your captain
When death comes out to play
When the hand of fate will drop you
You have gone astray no more worries
Death came out to play
Dear departed he was so damn good
That the angels knew his name
He was a giving man a light in the dark
He was sunshine in the rain
Smokin' - Here we go on one last ride
Burnin'- I will be your captain
[CH]
When you're alone and you're chilled to the bone
The revolution knows your name
When you're alone and you feel so at home
Death comes out to play
Dear departed he was so damn bad
That the demons ruled his game
He was a selfish man the devils spark
The hatred and the pain
Smokin' - When he goes on one last ride
Burnin' - I will be his captain
[CH]
[BR]
Walk through the valley naked
Be not afraid
Be not afraid
The hand of fate has dropped you
Be not afraid


5. Let It Burn

Here-here, got the lock-down cover me
Fear-fear, got the in to let it out
So near, feel its breath all over me
Everything is inside, nothing going out
I hear you, I see you, I put you out
I hate you, I love you, I burn you down
Got the need, right here to let it out
Got the need, light the match and let it burn
[CH]
Listen here to the fire, as it burns up your back
Take your heart, gonna let it burn listen here to the fire
You're sure lookin' tired with a knife in your back
Through your heart, man that's gotta burn, listen here to the fire
Unclear where to start and where to end
I know what the need is all about
So near I can feel it eating me
Everything upside, upside down
I smell you, I taste you, what you're about
I loath you, I adore you to the ground
Got the need right here to let it out
Got the need, light the match and let it burn
[CH]
[BR]
I don't seek the answers to the questions that I learn
I don't start the fires I lay back and watch them burn
I see ashes floating transformed the way they used to be
I see ashes floating down they come to cover me


6. I, Hurricane

Mind's eye hurricane
It feels nothin' like I'm missin' you
Self-inflicted pain, has turned me upside down
In the drenchin' bloody rain
I know nothin' I'm supposed to do
So I think I'll entertain thoughts of the underground
All I possess has becomes laid to rest
And the things that I love don't make a sound
All I hope is slain
Ain't nothin' more I'm gonna lose
Everything obtained is buried in the ground
As I'm goin' down the drain
I finally know it's me I screwed
So I think I'll entertain thoughts of what I found
All I possess has become laid to rest
And the things that I love don't make a sound
[CH]
I got the feelin getting high
I'm getting higher gonna fly
Now I'm kneelin way too high
Still getting' higher you gonna die
All night dreamin' hear the screamin'
Tear it up, run and hide
Inside burnin', the wind is turnin'
When it blows, you gonna die


7. Left Hand Man

Seems they got a runaround, a runaround where they stand
All over, yeah, all over you
Think they got an underground, an underground where they plan
Right under, yeah, right under you
Think you get the left hand
Backhand slap, then you're going to do your living on the downside
[CH]
God can't hear when I call
And God can't know, just when I fall
God can't see where I stand
So God can't be my left hand man
All I have is hatred when the fire fills my eye
Right under, yeah, right under me
And all I have is fate when the numbers fill the sky
Right over, yeah, right over me
Think I'll use the left hand
[CH]
[BR]
Am I spent, layed-out got no more to see
With a locked down, tight clamp all over me
No love, just like before, am I one more, no more
Have I crashed, crashed and burned
Have I cashed in, not to return
Have I taken, taken my last ride
Do you feel what I feel inside
Over, over and done
Well I found something that I can't outrun
Watching, waiting, open the door
Am I one more, no more


8. Blown Away

When it extends itself to the point of breaking
And deep inside you know your demon's waking
Blow it away
In color red and redder break tomorrow
As mother turns her back in broken sorrow
Blow it away
When you are all that's left
[CH]
Embrace your enemies, embrace your fear
Embrace what you disobey
Kill what complicates you, hold it near
Blow it away
[BR]
Complicated, overrated leaning on the reason of one
In quiet desperation you are clinging to the safety of the gun
In light the dark becomes illuminated fear
In white the black becomes what you are holding near
And deep inside your guts are turning
Churning to the tune, what you've become
[CH]


9. My Name Is Pain

No livin', no livin' without me
No higher, no higher than love, I'm gonna love you
Right here where you stand
I'll be inside you, all about you, everywhere you go
Everywhere you go
Make you feel like you are livin', what you need to know
Let me introduce myself, you're gonna know me well
[CH]
There is no shame, to know my name
My name is pain, my name is pain
There is no blame, you know my name
My name is pain, my name is pain
All givin', all takin' what I need
For better, for better or worse, I'm gonna kill you
Right here where you stand
I'm wrapped around you, gonna pound you
Welcome to my show Make you think it's all unfair, here's what you need to
know
Let me introduce myself, you're gonna know me well
[CH]
When I take aim, you know my name
My name is pain, my name is pain
I am the flame, you know my name
My name is pain, my name is pain


10. Can't Kill A Dead Man

Run like hell, yeah movin' fast
Don't fail me now know you gotta last
Move it on up to the quick step, go
And I get more speed when, when I get real low
Yeah runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, let your secrets fly
Yeah Runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, move it on up
As fire fills the sky
[CH]
Can't kill a dead man
Gotta, gotta get just a little more
Got the wake-up call head hit the floor
See there ain't nothin' more that I can lose
So I get real slow when I have to choose
Yeah runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, let your secrets fly
Yeah runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, move it on up
As fire fills the sky
[CH]
[BR]
I'm leavin', I'm stayin', I'm broken down
For grievin', conveyin' I am renowned
In all my dreams I know I can
In all my dreams I am a dead man
I'm leavin', I'm stayin', I'm broken down
I'm leavin'

1. Necroshine

You can take me out of my hell
You can't take the hell on out of me
Wathch me here as I get
But be careful what you see
I cut across the waste , some live and some enshrined
I look into the light of the necroshine
Don't you worry ' bout me
You know I'm doin ' line
Basking in the light
Of the necroshine
In the name of all that's sacred
In the name of misery
Watch me here as I turn red
And remember what you see
I hunger for a taste
To fill me glass with wine
Away from the right into the necroshine
Don't you ever doubt me
As you walk the line
Guided by the light
Of the necroshine
I think that I have been reborn,
Just a little better than before
I think I tried to tell myself,
That I needed just a little more
They always tried to sell me,
Hang me what I couldn't use
Always tried to get a little better,
With an offer that I can't refuse
You can take me full of fire,
you can take me as you lind
Or you can leave me here , where you gonna see me
Guided by the necroshine


2. My December

When I look into your eyes it keeps me together
When I hear your private lies I don't feel any better
Clouds will gather over me,
Rain will soak me down ,
As I remember, my December
Just to the tell, upon what is tell
On the left side of the dawn
Leaving the the traces, forgotten the faces
Of the last December morn
Nothing but hte truth is all I wanted
Everything I had was always counted
Clouds will gather over me,
Lightening strike me down,
As I remember my, my december
From the hand of god that squeeze me
To the firestorm that feeds me
In my December
In a world too much
For the likes of man
Who can't remember


3. Let Us Prey

It took three damn days for the mission man
Heard he's comin' straight from hell
With a fast track bleedein' and siren screamin
If you don't listen you could never tell
Three days dead and risin'
Where you goin' now.I widh you well
Three days dead and risin'
With a half head full a ' dreams I could never sell
Let us prey
Three days gone for the misson man
Three days gone and risin'
Three days gone hear the mission man say
Time to get down to business
Let us prey
He walked in like the duke he was the mission man
He had death leakin' from his eyes
Machine gun bigger with his linger of the trigger
Said it took me three days to rise
Three days dead and risin'
I think these here are yours. I couldn't tell
Three days dead and risin'
Then he handed on back the dreams that he couldn't sell
Lord I got a bleeder it a tast track feeder
And it nailed me down tight for the rest a' my life
It's a double damn shot a ' what I need when I want it
And it's givin' me redemption through the darkest og night
Lord I lost the lightenin' it was so damn frightenin'
And it pulled me up close like I was losin my life
Was a double damn shot, knocked me down, yeah I got it
and it givin' me some light through the rest a' my life


4. 80 Cycles

I don't have all the answers
I just want to know...
How low can you go
How low can you go
Go
It's just alot of crosstalk
I don't think they listen anyway
I got hit in the crosswalk

5. Revelation

Got a better night...got a better ' for somebody kill me
Got a better tight..for me it seem better
That I ever had known before
How do you see with blindness all around you
How do you understand...
and when you see the enemy surround you
When do you show hand
Got to leave it alone
Call me a nation
Got to leave it at home
Call me a brand new revelation
I am a homicide
I am a shadow waiting for a casket
I am preoccupied
You know I think
Someone want to kill me
How can you bleed with vultures all aroound you
How can you give them hope...
How can you sleep with murderers inside you
I could never cope...
I feel your cold hand lying over me
I feel the underside , your generosity
And I hear the angels singing,
Do they sing for me
I feel your cold hand
How can you sleep at night
How can you bleed with vultures all around you
How do you understand
How ca you sleep with murderers inside you
When do you show your hand...

Long view on the eye a pocketful a pestilence
Got a fistful of momories,a long lost innocence
Hey baby, dead baby devil he embracin' you

Long forked tongue kiss
Lay on down in the bad you made
It's a little too late to cry
Or too be afraid
Driven by the high heat, call it love
Driven by the high heat
Of the velvet glove
Call it free-will,call it choice
You know you ain't alone now
There's a swecond voice
When you're not alone
Short view on the eye, a pocketful a' pestilence
With a fistful a' memories, a long lost innocence
B-b-b-baby devil he embracin' you

Suckin' all the life from you


8. I Am Fear

You point that little finger out
You got four pointing back at you
It goes evrywhere you go
Does evrything you do
he got roughed up on the inside
Screaming that this ain't fair
And in a block?? moment alone on the outside
Thought that no one cared
You want me, you need me, you have me,I'm yours
So he puts in a call to his only friend
He dials 1-800-FEAR
Then he hid his face inside his hands
You know he wasn't very clear
Said I'm roughed uo on the inside
You know that this ain't lair
And in a new york minute, he felt like a million
Cause he knew somebody cared and said
I have but anation in me for evryone to see
I am but a tribute to mediocrisy
I'm your mother,father,son
I'm a little bit of evryone
Hide in the shadow cast by the sun
In constant misery,I'm fear
You want me,youneed me,you have me,I'm yours
Yes I know you've always loved me
Call me now,between the tears
I know you put no one above me
Call me now,between the tears
I'm fear
Call me now uncover me
Watch me work,it's what I do
call me now uncover me
Watch me work,and watch what I undo
So he broken-up all his fingers
White pulling out his fair
And he broke into a million pieces
No,nobody cared
He was beat-up on the inside
Fighting ' to survive
Spent a long time dyin' no not for tryin'
When you want to feel alive
Seem like total kaos everywhere you burn
When you're wiped out on the inside
You can't catch your breath
And in a black out moment
Alone on the outside,beat him right to dead


9. Black Line

What was done is licking me with fire
Do with me,do what you will
I'm cold and sick,I'm cold and sick and tired
Yeah I've had enogh.I've had my kill
And dare I say that I'm walking on today
With no direction ever had
Please forget me,leave me to what will

We all walk in a long black line
We all walk in time
We all walk in the black sunshine
We don't know who we are

We all walk in time
We all walk in the black sunshine
We don't know who we are

Yeah I've had enough,I've had my kill
And dare I say that I'm missing you today
With no direction ever had
I can't forget you,or leave you to what will
I'll see you once again at end of the line


10. Dead Man

Seems like a dead man stickin' to you
Seems like his last thoughts are stuck to your shoe
Seem like a dead man stickin' to you
Seems like a dead man stuck to your shoe
Seems like a dead man stickin' to you
Seems like a dead man stickin' to you
Dead man hold me near with all that you hold dear
I can shut my eyes down tight and make you disappear
Then I fall down
Seems like tomorrow is yesterdays news yeah
Seems like you can't win, can't win for losing
Seems like a dead man stickin' to you
Seems like tomorrow is yesterdays news
Seems like a dead man stickin' to you
Seems like a dead man stickin' to you
d-d-d dead man what got you here
A little wrinkled little smeared
I can shut my eyes down tight and make you disappear
Then I fall down
My eyes hang from their sockets
I wear a ball and chain
Can you hear the rockets
Exploding in my brain
They go .......
I feel the insecurity
I feel the sting of pain
The upside of insanity
I side with the insane
They go ....
They come across the black and white
They ravage me with fear
I can shut my eyes down tight and make them disappear
Feel like a dead man
Dead man
