Is it just the Things you see that make it all worth while
Put your God into a box and keep him by your side Hopeless is the refugee escaping from the truth The mothership has passed you by now there's nothing you can do My time is finished here Now choose what you must do My eyes have shed the tears And paid the price for you Many here have seen the light The devil sits and wonders The man who keeps his heart a stone Is the man who sleeps with thunder Monuments and shrines are built to spirits that deceive Soft associations with the angels you believe Soon to find your friendly guides have lead you far astray Now you walk in blackest night you never learned to pray In your mind you pacify Tricks and tales and lullabyes Now you bid your soul goodbye When you climb that mountain while the rain is coming round The peak is only visible on your way back down Everyone will tell you what it is you should believe But hearing what you want to hear will give you no relief |

Rip it up, kick it out. Blood begins to flow. Taking chances, The only way I know. Sacrificed everything. I'm the grinding stone. Ripping flesh, drawing blood. I'd love to eat your bones. My world will not cave in. I will dare so I will win. Hear the timebombs begin to tick. I'll hit you like a ton of bricks. Hammer or anvil, You must pay the price. Thunder, lightning, Yes, it does strike twice. Vice grips hold me, Keep me in control. And if you think I'm kidding you, You will feel the fatal blow. My world will not cave in. I will dare so I will win. Hear the timebombs begin to tick. I'll hit you like a ton of bricks, ton of bricks. Oh yeah, you! I know that it's true Do you have a clue To what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna Rip it up, kick it out Blood begins to flow Taking chances The only way I know Sacrificed everything I'm the grinding stone Ripping flesh and drawing blood I'd love to eat your bones My world will not cave in I will dare so I will win Hear the timebombs begin to tick I'll hit you like a ton of bricks Ton of bricks, ton of bricks Oh yeah, you! I know that it's true Do you have a clue To what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna stop |

So now I've told you time after time
Jump to conclusions when you make up your mind Is this the road you want to be on You'll find out soon that it's not very long Evil is breeding the master is grieving A lie so deceiving We all fall down I see the news and it tells me each day Is it a life when its not in the way Which is it now please tell me this time Before its too late and we all cross the line Evil is breeding the master is grieving Ashes to ashes We all fall down How many times will you let things go by Before you stop believing the lie As we are blindly lead right into the noose |

Your woman's unfaithful, she's got a backdoor man
You've seen the signs and you understand Don't get excited now, I know just what to do I got the guns, ha-ha, I got the tools Yes I'm the one they call the man Any time at all, I'm just a hitman I'll get the job done No one will ever know it was you, it was you They got their men promoted before it's time His neck you break for one thin measly dime Don't get excited, I got a plan We'll take him down now, he'll be one dead man Yes I'm the one they call the man Any time at all, I'm just a hitman I'll get the job done No one will ever know it was you, it was you Just don't pay me, then you will see What a dead man really can do You're at the cemetary feeling all alone Just like a dog who done stole the bone You start to cry or make one little sound You'll be the next one, I'll put you in the ground Yes I'm the one they call the man Any time at all, I'm just a hitman I'll get the job done No one will ever know it was you, it was you |

When everythings coming up roses
The thorns will still leave scars on my hands Just pour me a scotch and a soda I'll get drunk and I'll act like a man I gotta get some of that magic I hear the voices calling A song I dare not trust And all my sleepless dreaming It all turns into dust I stopped all the screaming and crying And yet I still don't understand When all that you live for is dying An hourglass empty of sand I gotta be someone less tragic I hear the wind is calling A song I dare not trust And all my sleepless dreaming It all turns into dust In lifeless shadows dreaming My life is left un-feeling And yet beyong this door There must be more My freedoms become too expensive The price is much more than you see But freedom creates an illusion The freedom to save me from me I gotta get some of that magic I hear the voices calling |

Break down the walls of forever. Pull down hard on the lever. Let them know that you can turn the key. Though they try to hold us down. Turn it up, that chainsaw sound. I just love to see my parents flee. Chorus: So you see, that they're all going nowhere. Everybody's staring into space Start the fire. Bring down the hammer. Start start the fire. Burning on forever. Do ya see the storm clouds a coming? Can you feel the juice, it's a hummin'. Feed the power cables into me. Like a ship that's build for destruction. I'm a metal man of construction. And I'll fire my cannons, one by one. Repeat Chorus |

It's the calm before the storm
Wishing you could see the light Growing fear and sadness there Can you tell its your final sight Tubes and wires keep you here Not alive and yet not dead No feelings You're wide awake in your head While the prayers have been said All the love thats been bled Its just a kiss for the dead In your world of constant dreams A lifeless body with its frozen stare People cry and pray for you to waken All this pain you cannot bear Wishing someone would pull the plug All you do is shed a tear No feelings This world of sleeping, continue dreaming To see the light now, in endless night now Could cleanse this chaos from my mind Lifeless body, frozen stare In a world of constant dreams Lifeless body, frozen stare It's a different kind of sleep No feelings No feelings |

You see my life is rather simple
I'm just another face And all your textbooks All you know Will soon construct the case Warped emotions like a river Everywhere a bend And what we cannot hold together We try to keep within Listen doctor you cannot help me The cure that's in a jar All the needless all the pills I think its gone too far Now the pain is really blinding I'm crawling up the wall Try to hold on Try to stop it I think I've lost it all Can't you see just where the troubles All are in my head Iron bars that keep me safe While strapped here on this bed You've poked and probed and podded me So often times I've cried Now I pray on bended knee God just let me die Count the ceiling tiles above As you wheel me down the hall Another treatment once a week I'm losing all recall |

It's way past midnight
There's a howling wind Oh God what can it be? Something out there evil And it's coming straight for me The house is dark and very cold I know there's no one here Why am I scared to death Just petrified with fear 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the house 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the dark The dark When I opened up the door And snapped on the switch The room was filled with light Then something black and very fast Fled upon my sight What I feared most as a child Was the coming of the night Now my horrors have become quite real My nightmares breathe new life 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the house Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the dark Dark! What is it in the house That the darkness brings to life? I sense their eyes upon me As I grab a butcher knife Whatever it is that waits for me It hides beneath my bed If I try to sleep tonight By morning I'll be dead! 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the house Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the dark |

Hear the sounding, feel the pounding
Pain is coming, you don't know where Blood is thick, you're feeling sick Live with the choices you have made Hard as stone it must be so In a systematic life of lies Flight or fight, run or die You can't stand to even try Rip it open, no more hoping Time for you to rise and shine I control the names I hold But I can't fit into your mold I know that I'm stronger than you are In a world where nothing is faster than life Search for answers, even after Truth is whats upon your mind On your face, its left no trace Can't you read between the lines Brand new day to do your crime Pay your debt without a dime Left unspoken, tales are broken Carve a smile upon your face Hear the phone, it's just a drone No one hears your lonely moan I can't change the world I see But i can change the world in me Now you know that the dying is easy But its harder just staying alive There are parts of the heart that are harder Than the race that we run Is faster than life |

Stick your fingers in the eyes of night
Rip open the belly of Death And you'll see What is real Tear down the image of youth all around Steal the dreams fromm their minds And you'll be All their lies CHORUS Can it be what you're thought to believe It's nothing more than your mind can conceive He's out there waiting for you The psycho is ready to kill Well you're a mean one a bloody bastard son You think its all just for fun But there's no setting sun CHORUS One way all the time You can seem to get it right You never see the tunnel Or the light Spend a million just to say You're hip You got to find a way To get the thrill of your life Trip the light Trip the light fantastic Party and you'll die Someday you will die 3:am you feel that twitch again For a walk in the park It's getting late Slip through the gate The psycho jumps out from behind Sticks his knife in your Throat and you die |

In a darkened graveyard glows a light.
I see it shine there every night. I know somewhere there's a hidden door. There's an answer here we must explore. No, I'll not submit to reason. I'll sit and watch the seasons change. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. We hold our fate and make the choice, But we'll not listen to that still small voice. Are we just crazy, out of our minds? Wish this were someplace, another time. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. And I know we're going So far away from this wretched life we lead. With open arms meet catastrophe, In the valley of the damned we'll be. And I know we're going So far away from this wretched life we lead. With open arms meet catastrophe, In the valley of the damned we'll be. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. And now to life we say goodbye. I know the when but not the why. Our nation's blood spills on the ground. Our lives go out without a sound. |

Times like these to people please
Fables spread like some disease New age gods like old facades Write a book You'll like the odds Inventing gods Old facades Take apart human heart you will start Through the doorway of all your sorrows Beginning to pull you away In the night the sometimes light The seasons which run out of time When I press this game of chess I always end with something less You've made a mess Of your Sunday best In search of the answers, what never should be Laughter erupts from primordial sea Standing there naked with bended knee All of your works face eternity So though I play the same each day When faced with pain I often pray Take my hand you'll understand The place we go is no-mans land |

The war is over
The crypt we now taste In the late 1900's, there is no human race We split the planet with atomic birth Man has died We seal the urn. Negotiations are over Troops are marching to their doom All that I see is a nightmare The smoke is blotting out the moon No, God please stop this bloody slaughter We are off the beaten track All the masses are rebelling To withstand the dark attack Will we make it back beyond the black? Tanks are rolling in millions See them come, and now they're gone All the mountains are blackened They said it came from just one bomb No God please stop this bloody slaughter Let it all repeat -- attack All the masses are rebelling To withstand the dark attack Will we make it back beyond the black? Will we make it back beyond? Out of the crypt with faces marred Seems the night has won We unite as one No more weapons, no more guns Look out! Food supplies are worth more than gold Turn the young into old With blinded eyes we count the cost Of everything that we lost Look out! [Screams] Watch out! Beyond the black |

We will not follow Rome
The twisting of our faith With the hand of God You wrote the new light The queen has decreed You must believe like me So it is written so it shall be So it shall be So the list was captured And it's time for us to die Following their orders To enforce the lie Village by village Township by town Hung drawn and quartered Some where slowly drowned They signed in blood Proclaimed their faith They signed in blood And sealed their fate Cause if your gonna die, die for what you believe in There' s more to this world than meets the eye The riders are coming the hoofbeats are thumping The spectre of death leads the way The queen has decreed the spiritual seed Will be crushed out this day And those who have signed be killed by the blind The soldiers who'll slay Thge names are above still written in blood Are there to this day |

Many, many years ago on a distant shore
Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door They travelled long and travelled far Dark into the night Yes, this is the place they've chosen To build the Metal site. Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way Why they worship metal gods each and every day By the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are No use in speaking out against anything we do While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue Now the story starts again, all the time is lost Metal Church begins anew.... Saving souls that are lost. Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are The metal church |

A lonely god you captured, do you feel the pain
Tried to help the people but your help was all in vain You gave to us their fire, but who was watching you Chainin' out a reason, now what you gonna do? Now that they picked you, a lesson has been taught Join us now in vengeance and let the bodies rot A thousand times a thousand is finally gonna end Storms of war are brewing - we need your help but when Gods of wrath Gods of wrath are heartless when they left you hanging there Cast out and abandoned, you had to pay the fare Now's the time to break free and help us if you can Cuz we're all behind you to start the master plan (Inaudible - hockey's????) fine by you Saying you will never learn Reach up to the heavens and let the bodies burn You know you have the answer You've always been a friend Break the chains in anger and let it all begin God, come down, gods are before you |

In a holy war from these shores
Where lands are hot and dry Nations forged by gods own hand These kingdoms in the sand A billion dollars everyday The un-people pay Political shemes and the war machines Its a news media scene Still Gods children die Under blackend sky Media man with his soul in his hand He reasons this is wrong With his Rolex watch and his white painted yacht Does he even give a damn Those who do then make the rules And say that we must change We fight for oil the new age spoil Making all these chains |
