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'
