All For You
by Black Label Society



My neck has been broke in the noose of life's rope
Through My loss of you I have found no hope
Slain emotions, lifeless and blue
Destroying myself now

All for you

Remote recollections of tranquility
Terror grotesquely becoming of me
Unnamable joy when our blood once ran true
Destroying myself now

All for you

The death, the lies, in lies the truth
All that it is, what was, ain't true
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery

Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try
And get it next time
Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try
And get it next time

This cross you bare
I've come to carry for you
This cross you bare
I've come to break it in two
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery

Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try
And get it next time
Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try
And get it next time

-Solo-

Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try
And get it next time
Oh lord, it's been a long time
Doing my best I'll try
And get it next time

In this garden full of good
Lies a garden full of evil
Awaits strange, bizarre,
Unusual people
Here is where
Tripping and nobody cares
Here is where
The setting sun is never feared
It goes on and on and on
Oh, it never ends
It goes on and on and on
Welcome My Friends...

Beneath The Tree of heaven
Lies The Horror Of The Clay
Beneath The Tree of heaven
Come as you please, do as you may

Crooked minds
Like a crooked tree
Never caring where one's branches have been
or where they're gonna be
People so seedy
People so greedy
But in the end,
Ain't we all a little needy?

Smokin', trippin', drinkin',
never thinkin' what's to be
Another day,
another war has come to set me free
The cage is broke, the tank is full,
it's where the violence rules
Drinkin' booze and raisin' rifles,
hell straight through and through
A never ending rolling nightmare with no end in sight
I start to drink, get high and smashed,
it gets me feeling right
The cage is broke, the tank is full,
it's where the violence rules
Drinkin' booze and raisin' rifles,
hell straight through and through

Drinkin', pukin', pissin', and fightin'
Startin' all over again
Drinkin', pukin', pissin', and fightin'
Startin' all over again
Drinkin', pukin', pissin', and fightin'
Startin' all over again
Drinkin', pukin', pissin', and fightin'
Startin' all over again

Where I go and where I rise,
I couldn't give a damn
Another shot, another beer,
is all that I have planned
The cage is broke, the tank is full,
it's where the violence rules
Drinkin' booze and raisin' rifles,
hell straight through and through

Deathbent
Warped mind,
Tripped out,
Out of time,
Bodycount rise again,
Sick and hellbent,
Broke and twisted,
The end isn't far behind.

Black Mass Reverends
Black Mass Reverends

Hate Machine,
Destroy all you seek,
Kill and rape,
Trample the weak,
Never ending stream of fear,
Sick and hellbent,
For the end is near.

Black Mass Reverends
Black Mass Reverends

Mother come pick me up
I feel I've lost all that I knew
In this forest full of lies
You're all that's ringing true

Oh, by my world
Black Pearl
Forever my world
Black Pearl

Gather all that's left
Place my fears up on this shelf
Now I feel alive
As I'm no longer by myself

There is no rationale, nothing is real
There is no sympathy when one cannot feel
Distorted mirrors, you see yourself
Trapped in your nightmares
Nothing els

Blacked out in this
Blacked out world

Architect of hate
Creator of doom
Upon the wings of destruction
Will be there soon
Commit your final suicide
Your final act
Last show of atrocity
Ain't no coming back

Blacked out in this
Blacked out world

This grave of life I give to you
Ignore what was you know it's true
Realms of fear they speak the truth
What has passed I hand to you

Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
I'll see you

I'll dig the hole, and bow my head
To see you smile, I face my death
Realms of fear they speak the truth
What has passed I hand to you

Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
I'll see you

Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
I'll see you

Here comes the rain
Another day, another storm
I've been down,down, down
For oh, so long

I'll walk this mile
And I'll ask no quarter
For in the end
Blood is thicker than water

They try to break me but I refuse to die
They try to break me but I refuse to cry

Here comes the rain
Another day, another storm

I'll walk this mile
And I'll ask no quarter
For in the end
Blood is thicker than water

Tired of this
Done with that
Never satisfied with where I'm at
I sit and think
What to do
Just a motherfuckin' bore
Without a clue

Shot my drugs
Drank my booze
Tired of joy and self abuse
Eternally jaded through and through
Just a self-loathing dick
Without a clue

Oh
Bored to death
I'm just bored to tears
Same old shit, just different day and year
Killed myself, but that got boring too
So beyond the point where it's not true

Far beyond high
Dramatically low
Eternal stare, as if I care to know
All of this struggle
All of this work
In the end, you die like some moronic jerk

Shot my drugs
Drank my booze
Tired of joy and self abuse
Eternally jaded, through and through
Just a self-loathing fuck
Without a clue

Oh
Bored to death
I'm just bored to tears
Same old shit, just different day and year
Killed myself, but that got boring too
So beyond the point where it's not true

The colors I see are all bleeding
The sound that was, is now standing still
I wonder when it was it all faded
A dullen corpse that cannot be killed

Oh
Bored to death
I'm just bored to tears
Same old shit, just different day and year
Killed myself, but that got boring too
So beyond the point where it's not true

A little hating in the morning time
A little hating come around noon
Ain't no remorse
All that you think
Ain't no regret
All that you do

Jesus
Hell yeah, what do we do?
Jesus
Can you hear us screaming up above?
Lord?
I guess we were just born to lose

A little hating on my TV screen
A little hating in the news that I read
Lay to rest a soul so kind
Rewarding the wrong
Feeding the twisted mind

You lookin' at me
Forever hurt
Forever bleed
It ain't black
It ain't white
It ain't wrong
Lord knows, it ain't right

Jesus
Hell yeah, what do we do?
Jesus
Can you hear us screaming up above?
Lord?
I guess we were just...

The Freaks in the streets
The nuns with the shotguns
The graves rolling by your side
Survival of the fittest
And there ain't no pity
No one gets out alive
In the Concrete Jungle
It's the well of the damned
Once You Step inside and Then you'll understand
Misfits, psychos and the twisted slaves
The house of the sane
No one can be saved

Rolling Six feet under Rollin
Rolling Six feet under Rollin
Rolling Six feet under Roll and keep on rollin!

No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die

Another day to bleed
Another day to die
Another day to blackout and then go blind
Manical Blitzkrieg
Where the maggots play God
Where the souls of the lost come to die
The Concrete Jungle
It's the well of the damned
Once You Step inside and Then you'll understand
Misfits, psychos and the twisted slaves
The house of the sane
No one can be saved

Rolling Six feet under Rollin
Rolling Six feet under Rollin
Rolling Six feet under Roll and keep on rolling

No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die

No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die once again
No one gets out
Get ready to die

Can't you see I feel your pain?
I've got Jesus running through my veins
In this hopeless life that's turned on you
Give yourself to me, I'll help you through
I feed off your unanswered fear
When visions of life's end appear
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me

(CHORUS)
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me

In this world when at it's best
Of never ending hate and death
Abandon all and trust in me
Escaping from reality
My world it has no space or time
The crippled walk and the sick feel fine
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me

Chorus

Beyond this wall of life unknown
I'll lead you where you need to go
Void of worry, stress and pain
Left with nothing but your name
We've washed your brain and cleansed your soul
Till' nothing's all you need to know
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me

Chorus

I thought I knew who you were
I thought I did, now I ain't so sure
I can't believe what I see
I take a look and I know what you need

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Days have changed and rolled by
They are forever 'till the day that I die
You tried to kill me again
I feel no pain although the scars never mend

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Days have changed and rolled by
They are forever 'till the day that I die
You tried to kill me again
I feel no pain although the scars never mend

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

I paved this road

Up and down, In between
There's nothing I haven't seen

All these scars which bear my name, yeah
My eyes are wide, ain't nothing's the same, yeah
I tried to run, but the damage is done, yeah
The damage is done

Where I've gone and where I've been

Forget the past and all you ever knew
You've never known such fear
You've never shed such tears
It'll have you wishin' you were never here

Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down
Forever on the wrong side
Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down

All that has been
All that's to be
No tomorrow
No demise of sanity
All that has been
All that's to be
No tomorrow
No demise of sanity

Straight to the depths of Hell
Ain't got no soul to sell
Death on death, the enternal funeral bell
You've never known such fear
You've never shed such tears
It'll have you wishin' you were never here

Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down

Fly so high
Never, ain't never gonna die

Hellbent, blitzkrieged
Take what you want at will
Hellbent, blitzkrieged
Can't live unless you kill

When you're living
On the Devil's Dime
Devil's Dime
Everything's paid and we're feeling fine
On the Devil's Dime
Devil's Dime
The Wheels are rolling and we're running blind

No stop signs
Ain't no slowing down
Broken, confusion all around

Hellbent, blitzkrieged
Take what you want at will
Hellbent, blitzkrieged
Can't live unless you kill

When you're living
On the Devil's Dime
Devil's Dime
Everything Paid and we're feeling fine
On the Devil's Dime
Devil's Dime
The wheels are rolling and we're running blind

Ashes fly ashes burn
The sun is black
Ain't no return
Ashes fly ashes burn
Over and over
Ain't no need to learn

It's all dust on dust
(It's all dust on dust)
It's all you and me
(It's all you and me)
Out done completely out played
Just shovel some more
Dirt on the grave

The choices you make
And the choices that are
When hell is so close
And heaven's so far
Ashes fly ashes burn
Over and over
Ain't no need to learn

It's all dust on dust
(All dust on dust)
It's all you and me
(All you and me)
Out done completely out played
Just shovel some more
Dirt on the grave

It's all dust on dust
(All dust on dust)
It's all you and me
(All you and me)
Out done completely out played
Just shovel some more
Dirt on the grave

Holy and high
The engines start to grind
The shotgun speaks the final word
The race to the end
Keep killing all that you can
Beneath the ground what can't be heard

Roads paved in flesh
The bombs which have been blessed
The blackout through the doom
The race to the end
Keep killing all that you can
The casket which fills the room

Slither with the maggots and the worms below
Warped confusion, mental illness bestowed
An inward view, an outward pass is all you can see
Disillusioned warhead of reality

Gathered for the feast
The tables set for the deceased
How's the dead, no peace, no rest
The race to the end, keep killing all that you can
Doomsday calling 'till nothin's left

I am the god of
Electric hellfire
And I bring you...

Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher

You've got a suicidal death wish
That's plain to see
Suicidal death wish bring it to me
Have you ever met Jesus?
Soon you will see
You're gonna meet Jesus
If you're messing with me

Electric hellfire
Higher, higher
Electric hellfire

This hand of doom
That is holding you down
Say your prayers son
You're gonna drown
Stormtroppin' Jesus
You're gonna see
You're gonna meet Jesus
If you're messing with me

Electric hellfire
Higher, higher
Electric hellfire

-Solo-

Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
High..

I'm still the god of
Electric hellfire

Faith is blind
Carry it to the end
Faith is blind
All I've done and said

Feed them the lies
For that's all that they want to see
Crawl in your grave
I'm your Lord of Reality

Faith is blind
Follow me to the black
Faith is blind
Your demise is where your at

Feed them lies
For that's all that they want to see
Crawl in your grave
I'm your Lord of Reality

Faith is blind
Carry it to the end
Faith is blind
All I've done and said

The sun that's set on our souls
All that's lost as the day is old
When the truth becomes one big lie
So low you never know when you're high
And you thought that you knew it all
Think again, in the end we all fall
When the truth becomes one big lie
So low you never know when you're high

Oh, back home
Oh, back home
Oh, the fear of being alone

The floors that rattle and shake through my head
The doors that slam that wake me in bed
When the truth becomes one big lie
So low you never know when you're high

Oh, back home
Oh, back home
Oh, the fear of being alone
Oh, the fear of being alone

Oh, the fear of being alone
Oh, the fear of being alone
Oh, the fear of being alone

Fire it up
Let the engines roll
It's time to burn it down
Keep bleeding on
'Til the day you die
Forever, love it loud

Hellfire, doom
Watch the hatred spin
Beyond the speed of sound
Fire it up
Let the engines roll
It's time to burn it down

Keep moving on
Keep moving on
Keep moving on
Keep moving on

Keep moving on
Keep moving on
Keep moving on
Keep moving on

Face your fear
Accept your war
It is what it is
Face your fear
Accept the war
Oh yeah

-Solo-

Take a look inside
The warped and the sick
Forever born again
Just to die so quick
The floodgates of the damned
Shall crash and burn once again
Nuclear obsession
The fall of the weak
Atomic demolition
Destroy all you seek
The flood gates of the damned
Shall crash and burn o nce again

Down down down
Forever down

Terrified reflections
That rip through the sky
Apacalyptic birth
The screams and the cries
Floodgates of the damned
Shall crash and burn once again
The reverend of the grave
The mother of the end
The wings of the bastard
Shall spread once again

Give yourself to me
For only then you will see
For I am the skies up above
Beneath and everything in between
These oceans which harbor your sadness
These rivers which carry your pain
Give yourself to me
For only then you will see
You will see

Give yourself to me

I was here before the beginning
I'll be here after the end
Search yourself, you'll believe
For only then you will see
You will see

Give yourself to me

I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
Lord, I'm getting old...

Hell is high
So am I
A junkie's rush, flying across the sky
A million miles an hour
No, it ain't enough
Machine gun mind and a junkie's rush

Life is good
Life is fine
Pull the trigger one more time

Hell is high
And you all know
When the pedal hits the floor it's time to roll
A million miles an hour
No, it ain't enough
Machine gun mind and a junkie's rush

Life is good
Life is fine
Pull the trigger one more time

Hell is high
And so are you
Take a look in the mirror
Yeah, you know its true
A million miles an hour
No, it ain't enough
Machine gunmind and a junkie's rush

Life is good
Life is fine
Pull the trigger one more time

Out of touch
You're out of time
Left alone
Yourself to find
Bound & chained by your silence
Things to be known
If it awakens,
Just Where..
Where Will It Go Now?

Hey, Hey You
What ya gonna do?
When you open your eyes
And you realize
Hey, Hey You
What ya gonna do?
When you open your eyes
And you realize
That batch of lies was really the truth

The Paranoia
The fear they're your friends
Wish to hear nothing
While seeing all the same
Bound & chained by your silence
Things to be known
If it awakens,
Just Where...
Where Will It Go Now?

Take all that you can
Take it all
I know you'll do it again
Rape, rape me again
I'll take the fall
I know you'll do it again

Oh, I know the truth

Yet I see no end
All shall fade to black
Again and again
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river
All shall fade to black
In this river
Ain't no coming back
In this river
All shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn a step away
Just to find myself
The door is closed again
The only one left
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

In this river
All shall fade to black
In this river
Ain't no coming back
In this river
All shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river
All shall fade to black
In this river
Ain't no coming back
In this river
All shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river
All shall fade to black
In this river
Ain't no coming back
In this river
All shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river
All shall fade to black
In ths river
Ain't no coming back
In this river
All shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

This fear that clouds my mind
This fear that just won't die
Blacked out this world
Nothing's pure, nothing's real

Oh, I'm just bidding my time
'Till I wave Goodbye

If I could, you know I'd die
The final rest, just one big lie
This trip that's broke my back
My death is war, it's where I'm at

Oh, I'm just bidding my time
'Till I wave Goodbye
Oh, Goodbye
Oh, Oh, Oh yeah
'Till I wave goodbye

Lead me to your door

Broken
I cant use this life anymore
Broken
Everything after and before

Oh, come to me once more
Oh, lead me to your door

Helpless
No tomorrows, no todays
Helpless
What was is now gone astray

Oh, come to me once more
Oh, lead me to your door
Oh, lead me to your door

Oh, come to me once more
Oh, lead me to your door
Oh, lead me to your door

I sit back and I close my eyes
lookin back at all the lows and all the highs
Through the black and white and in between
all the miles I've walked
the wars I've fought
and all I've seen

It all seems like yesterday
like a bird, time just flies
no sooner than you said hello
its time, its time, its time to say goodbye

Consumed by worry, stress and fear,
never learning to live
weighed down by wondering why we're here
collected memories
all thats in the end
I guess a sense of peace wasn't meant for some, my friend

it all seems like yesterday
like a bird, time just flies
no sooner than you said hello
its time, its time, its time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

it all seems like yesterday
like a bird, time just flies
no sooner than you said hello
its time, its time, its time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Lay To Rest
Bury The Dead
Tomorrow seems to turn so fast
Alone in the boiler meltin' me down
Ain't the first, won't be the last
So Many People all at once
Who I once was has died
Never feel the ills of breakin' down
Calloused & petrified

Slipped inside a hole
Don't know where it's gonna lead
Lost in a world all alone & I'm
Lookin' for me
I gotta get it back

Lay waste to a friend
Killing all the past
Pray that all is forgotten
Lost my better half

All That Was
All so fucked & trashed
Pray that all is forgotten
Lord I Feel I've Lost My Better Half

Wondering just how I got here
Shattered to the core
Lookin' to go back in time
Moving forward nevermore
On the verge of a breakdown
Run down, bludgeoned, and beat
All the things that you once held
Lying dead before your feet

Lay To Rest

{Anchor my soul no more
Low Down} - backwards

You leave me hanging high
Lost my sense to confide
Blanks, confused and empty
Yet overcome with a relieving sigh
Silence, deafening silence
Wicked world running through your head
Tired of second guessing
What I did or what it was I said
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Anchor My Soul No More
Low Down

On the outside running smooth
Of a gutless cold machine
Although, I saw it coming
This soon, I didn't think I'd see
Just Come Out And Tell Me
You ain't gonna break my will
You're water under the bridge now
Lying dormant, dead & still
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Anchor My Soul No More
Low Down

{On the outside running smooth
Of a gutless cold machine
Although, I saw it coming
This soon, I didn't think I'd see} - backwards

My eyes can no longer be blackened
My smile can no longer break
As far as I can throw you
I wouldn't trust you cuz your so damn fake
Let's get somethin' straight here
Get the fuck outta my way
Forever my stone will be rollin'
No matter what ya do or say
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

I feel my wheels have come undone
I've fallen off my tracks
Lord, I need your guiding hand
If I'm to make it back
Oh, make it back, back, back..

All My Life
Everything's been after me
All My Life
I just refused to see
Take me in from the storm
Come And Rescue Me
Under the wings of mother mary

Doing wrong is all you know
In the end
Do you know where you go?
You can't keep doing what you do
Sooner or later
It all comes back to you, you, you ,you...

Ohhhhhh

All My Life
Everything's been after me
All My Life
I just refused to see
Take me in from the storm
Come And Rescue Me
Under the wings of mother Mary

Take me
Raise me above
Take me
This undying love
What once was, I wish to no longer see
Wings of hatred, come set me free

You are the air in which I breathe
You are the blood I drink and bleed
These words beyond forever true
My new religion is you

Forsake me
It is you that I serve
Take me
This undying love

You are the air in which I breathe
You are the blood i drink and bleed
These words beyond forever true
My new religion is you

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack

Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think your life's in danger here, yeah

No more tears

Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin

I see the man around the corner waiting, does he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here

No more tears

So now that it's over, can't we just say goodbye?
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe we'll fuck before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don't know what else to say

I never wanted it to end this way, my love, my darling
Believe me when I say to you, in love I think I'm falling here

No more tears

The light in the window is a crack in the sky

Believe me when I say to you, in love I think I'm falling here

No more tears

Stoned once again
How long has it been?
Oh, there can be no other
My ever constant fix
For in the stream which drowns my sin
Oh, there can be no other

Oh, could I be wrong, could I be wrong, oh no
Oh, it's where I fear I belong
Oh, I've lost myself along the way
Oh, yeah, ain't got nothing left to say
I've burnt my bridge to the past
And I buried my broken bones
How I long for what I once had known

Cinder blocks and chains
Laid by the insane
Oh, there can be no other
Worthless to the core
Diseased forever more
Oh, there can be no other

Oh, could I be wrong, could I be wrong, oh no
Oh, it's where I fear I belong
Oh, I've lost myself along the way
Oh, yeah, ain't got nothing left to say
I've burnt my bridge to the past
And I buried my broken bones
How I long for what I once had known

Oh, could I be wrong, could I be wrong, oh no
Oh, it's where I fear I belong
Oh, I've lost myself along the way
Oh, yeah, ain't got nothing left to say
I've burnt my bridge to the past
And buried my broken bones
How I long for what I once had known
How I long for what I once had known
How I long for what I once had known

Lost again, and all alone
Lost again for I
Should have known
So many scars
So many times I've died
Another goodbye

Crash and burn
Refuse to learn
Your only friend inside
The scars that never mend

This trip inside the dark
The never ending rain
Kill the past
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

All the faces I once knew
Now are gone
Days turn into years
Rolling on
Some many storms
So many times I have died
Another goodbye

Crash and burn
Refuse to learn
Your only friend inside
The scars that never mend

This trip inside the dark
The never ending rain
Kill the past
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

-Solo-

Crash and burn
Refuse to learn
Your only friend inside
The scars that never mend

This trip inside the dark
The never ending rain
Kill the past
Nothing's the same

Once more
Forever 'till the end of time
Forever found
Think what you may, but honey I ain't blind

Lost in the shuffle like a child all alone
Count my days for the end is my home
Once more
Forever 'till the end of time

Oh

Once more
I kill myself again
Once more
I'm a slave to the goddamn end

Lost in the shuffle like a child all alone
Counting my days for the end is my home
Once more
Forever 'till the end of time

Oh

Come, Take My Hand
Let Us Walk For A While
Your burden of pain
Replaced with a smile

For The Peddlers Of Death
Come Calling One More Time
Bearing promises

So called friends running loose
Draining you whole
'Til you're of no use
Letting go of what you need most
Early Wish
Early grave
Early ghost

Phoney Smiles & Fake Hellos
by Black Label Society



You, yeah you, yeah you
You got a cardboard cutout soul
Just a powertripping, mindraping, backstabbing junkie
Thinking your hype is true
You, yeah you, yeah you
Respect ain't a word you know
You're a fabricated lie that doesn't exist
Dropping names wherever you go

(CHORUS)
Life's phoney smiles and fake hellos
The hardcore rush of watching heads roll
I'll dig your grave and kill your lifeless stare
Fuck yourself for all I fucking care

You, yeah you, yeah you
Thinking you know it all
35 years old with a wife and two kids
Still living and your mother's home
You, yeah you, yeah you
A sellout and a social whore
You'd sell your mother's soul just to get ahead
A disease down to the core

Chorus

You, yeah you, yeah you
Still haven't figured what it is you do
Just a no talent nothing with a ten ton ego
Until your 15 minutes are through
You, yeah you, yeah you
A conscience deaf and blind
I'm driving the hearse without remorse
Killing you and your kind

Chorus

Hey now,
I've stepped into the black
I say hey now
I wont be coming back
I say hey now
I've left it all behind
I say hey now
Take a look but you won't find, no

Step outside this world where I'll be free, yeah
Step outside this world where I can see, oh
Queen of sorrow and all this hell within
Oh, I close my eyes and sit back as I watch my end begin

Hey now
Void of sight and sound
I say hey now
The spiral always down
I say hey now
There ain't no coming back
I say hey now
I've stepped into the black now

Step outside this world where I'll be free, yeah
Step outside this world where I can see, oh
Queen of sorrow and all this hell within, oh
Oh, I close my eyes and sit back as I watch my end begin

Step outside this world where I'll be free, yeah
Step outside this world where I can see, oh
Queen of sorrow and all this hell within
Oh, I close my eyes and sit back as I watch my end begin

Oh, the walking dead have rose again
Oh, hell is rolling, 'round the best
Oh yeah tried to walk away
But you kept coming back for more
Oh yeah I tried to walk away
But you kept coming back
But you kept coming back
You kept coming back for more

Say what you will
Say you want the end
Like you never
Ever had it before
I'll give you everything
Beyond the truth
I'll give you everything
And even more

Oh the graveyard rolls again
Oh kill it all and kill it again
Oh yeah I tried to walk away
But you kept coming back for more
Oh yeah I tried to walk away
But you kept coming
You kept coming back for more

Say what you will
Say you want the end
Like you never
Ever had it before
I'll give you everything
Beyond the truth
I'll give you everything
And even more

All you've taken, all forsaken
Where you gonna go?
No one told you how it would be

Helter Skelter, ain't no shelter
Stare into the sun
You can look but you wont see

Where are you gonna go?
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all

Fly so high you're going die
When one has broken wings
No one told you how it would be

The power between the highs and lows
Drowns yourself again
Its where you find that you're free

Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all

-Solo-

Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all

Lord, I Question Whether I've had my fill
Lord, I Question whether I can take much more
you may laugh as I lay here bleeding baby
no more afters or befores
Some day you'll know just how I feel
you left me there twice before
Some day you'll know just how it feels
shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
like you were never nothing special
made you feel like another spoke in the wheel
so you say im just another dollar babe
so you say I'm just another day yeah
once my blood was strong but now its jaded and its thin
unlike you I can still tell right from wrong
some day you'll know just how it feels
while you left me there twice before
some day you'll know just how it feels
shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
like you were never nothing special
made you feel like another spoke in the wheel
some day you'll know just how it feels
while you left me there twice before
some day you'll know just how it feels
shattered, cast aside, stripped of your pride
like you were never nothing special
made you feel like another spoke in the wheel

Blind me, erased what was
Stillborn I have become
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

So empty, just a shell of a man
Stillborn, this I understand
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

I've waited here for you so long
I've waited here for you
For you

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long
I've waited here for you so long
I've waited here for you so long
I've waited here for you so long
I've waited here for you
For you

Hunt me down, seek me out, bring your best
That's how I want it to be
Full of doubt, full of fear, all's unclear
It's over, 'cause now I can see
Like a tank, seething strength, crushing all
Pulling you under my treads
Lost some years, lost some days, that's O.K.
I piss on what's in my way

Your two-faced abusin'
Mindless confusion
Resolution
(I feel I'm breathing my first breath)
Manipulation
Dyin' salvation
You'll never rest
(You can't kill what's stronger than death)

Looked inside, found myself, it was me
Waitin' there at the well
If you're green, you ain't seen, life's a game
Sometimes it's just hard to tell
Gouging eyes, breakin' bones, eatin' flesh
Puts a smile on my face
Crawlin' through glass, eatin' nails, losin' blood
It's all part of findin' your place

Your two-faced abusin'
Mindless confusion
Resolution
(I feel I'm breathing my first breath)
Manipulation
Dyin' salvation
You'll never rest
(You can't kill what's stronger than death)
