1. Devil By The Tail

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]
