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
