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!

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. 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. Now I 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 built for destruction. I'm a metal man of construction. And I'll fire my cannons, one by one. 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 |

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 |

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 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 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. |

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!

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 *Repeat 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 *Repeat (x2) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

I realize life's been thrown to the lions What I saw last night, our city so fair And to my horror, the bloody town square The time is now, we must avenge We form tonight, we kill tonight We must rest to regain our strength We form tonight, we kill tonight Battalion advances surrounding their backs In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to avenge Gather all survivors, the forces retreat They've leveled our city, there's rubble in the streets Surprise attack with no explaination What will we do with a demolished nation? Death to come for what they've done Stab their backs, their necks will crack Stronger than ever, our guns held high Stab their backs, their necks will crack Battalion advances surrounding their backs In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to avenge The people have organized an army of vengeance Struck them down, the bodies just like remnants Dogs of war, like lepers that are shunned We stand proud, the battle has been won The time is now, we must avenge We form tonight, We kill tonight We must rest to regain our strength We form tonight, we kill tonight Battalion advances surrounding their backs In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to avenge |

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. |

No matter what you say,
You're gotta make it through the day. You know you will, you know you will. Just call the doctor on the phone, Tell 'em you can't make it all alone. Gotta get your fix. So climb aboard your scarlet ship, Stars are brightly dancing in your eyes. Keep chasing all your dreams, You know they're just a pack of lies. The sands of time are running out. You know this god ain't got a doubt He's gonna get your soul. Gonna get your soul. Driving hard and living fast, You know your life ain't worth a line of blast Laid on the mirror. So climb aboard your scarlet ship, Stars are brightly dancing in your eyes. Keep chasing all your dreams, You know they're just a pack of lies. Push the needle in your vein. Ya laugh and shout that you're insane You wanna die, you're gonna try. Racing down the open road, On your mind's heavy load of pain. What will you gain? So climb aboard your scarlet ship, Stars are brightly dancing in your eyes. Keep chasing all your dreams, You know they're just a pack of lies. Just a pack of lies. Try, try, try, you're gonna try. Lie, lie, lie, you know they're lies! Die, die, die, you're gonna die! |

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 |

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 |

Just the other day
I heard the newsman say Enemy missiles fired And coming out our way Will we all be told Just who the hell we are Where we take our ships Of trade to port calls very far CHORUS Beyond the line of death He says he'll get you If you dare defy him To laugh at his orders Cross over the line So three ships went down And all there hands were lost If he's gonna spit on us He's gotta pay the cost You angry little madman Whith fist raised to the sky Your people just like sheep They follow never wonder why Blood and death his calling cards They seem as though the answer Spreading through this world And growing like a cancer His mind must be tormented Rotting yet alive Terrorism tactics When will we draw the line CHORUS How many times must we die In the name of peace Now we all know The time is running short And the devil sees The world as his whore If you see a psychopath with a loaded gun Killing all your neighbors Will you stand or run Just the other day I heard the newsman say Enemy missiles fired And commin out our way CHORUS |

Black scared and bleeding
From the lashes to my soul I chose to stand my ground Not do as i was told Thinking like mindless sheep These people were my friends Now i feel abandoned With a pain that never ends CHORUS My blood is boiling now On this journey to no avail On this ship of fools We're gonna die Will no one listen to what i say I saw the charts I saw the maps I know we're way of course Try to stop this captain His twisted wicked force We're on a route To certain death To drown among the ice I've got to stop this madness Or the ship will pay the price SOLO Holding tight the prison bars As we drift into the mist I can't believe This is happening My guts they wrench and twist The air is getting colder now Sailing further north I back down onto my knees I cry out to the lord CHORUS In a icy wasteland The sun begins to set I see the frozen corpses Of my shipmates On the deck I pull myself up on the rail Make my one last prayer Submerge myself in the depths I drown my lifes despair |

Integrity of construction
The best money can buy Her size is greater than any A Belfast shipyard's pride Signal flags spelled out the word "Success" On her maneuvering trials Preservers and lifeboats were not in excess Unsinkable, no plans to save lives Athinai reports icebergs and field ice At seven bells ahead just five miles A black hulk against the night's darkness Disaster along starboard side Full speed astern were the orders It would do them no good No apparent collision A rip deep below the waterline Come at once, we have struck a berg Interference in transmission The newest, largest ship afloat Had two hours to live Lower all lifeboats, we have too few! Women and children first! Distress rockets fill the air Abandom Ship!" Sinking faster, every light ablaze Machinery, engines, crashing to the bow Arching vertical, stern points to the sky The great ship fractured Everyone must die Watching their families make it to safety Fifteen hundred went down The orchestra played to the last moment An eerie almost unreal sound The calm and ice North Atlantic Titanic's burial ground |

A man exists alone
Hidden by a shell Touched in such a wicked way No one could ever tell Is what he sees for real? Or only in his mind? The staring of the old man's eyes Chills him deep inside It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind He plots the aweful deed He know it must be done Precision of a madman's mind His goal is only one Is what he sees for real? The evil eye, the sun His pain and fear must lay to rest Piece by piece it's done It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind Twisting and tortured scars on my brain No one can touch me in here Trapped, fighting, driven to kill Forced to live with my fear When will it end? What can I do? Who will believe? Why is this fear haunting me? The end is the cure, the only way out To numb the source of my pain Death to life is insanity the anger is growing again When will it end? What can I do? Who will believe? Why is this fear haunting me? How can he stand to bear the pounding of his heart? Something really must be done before he's torn apart Is what he hears for real, the heartbeat in his head I hear the pounding of his heart, but I know the man is dead It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind |

Starved for destination, a beggar man by trade A desperate man needs more than someone else to blame Friendless it appears, he hides behind his tears For things he's lost, for things he's never had The forgotten man wanders, misplaced in the world Obscurity is all the eye can see All alone, again As we just pass on by and continue with our day Can we appraise the quality of life some other way All alone, again When you take a longer look at someone on the run You may see reflections of yourself becoming one Take an extra moment when you find yourself at peace To think about your values and your own affluency Everything you've worked for and everything you've done May be thrown by the wayside, and you're not the only one Everything around you may seem worn and overused But imagine yourself removed from all you're used to Once a very influential man, once was in his prime Spends his days repeating lines like "can you spare a dime" Shunned by those who loved you and by those who were your friends Can you adjust to a different life of living on the edge The destitute find meaning in a different way of life The doorways that they dwell in for shelter in the night No shining crystal possessions set out for his display His purpose is to find the food to get him through the day Roaming aimless through the streets of supply and demand Once a gypsy disconnected no more future plans Self discarded king of ruin worthless to the world Fight to keep his sanity his voice is never heard He staggers down the alley to drink his spirits by himself As he prays to god that he wakes up somewhere else |

I ride alone, the wasteland I cross will take another life, We'll take another life I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes, the arctic cold at night, The earth it tells me lies God in heaven my only friend, will I live to see my journey's end As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed I make a promise to myself, never again A dusty god-forsaken path, endless to my dismay I know these are badlands, somehow I'll find my way No more paradise no more soothing rain, all a sacrifice the pain is all the same But still I'm pushing onward alone I can't deny My presence fills the desert my spirit never dies Will these lonely nights ever end will I live to see my journey's end The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky Patiently waiting they wait for me to die Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won But still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies |

The endless years and hardluck tales,
and some that have just moved on, I guess it could be envy when I wonder what's gone wrong Fingers point at all the problems, but that won't change my mind I must have been held back in hardknox school a few more times A few more years, a few more tears, are we the losers in the game? When time is done and kingdom come, we'll not be losers in the game! No one ever said it's easy to watch the world go by Console myself by trying and trying, and trying just one more time Put on a smile and fake your way in through another door But only if you have more luck than a thousand times before A few more years, a few more tears, are we the losers in the game? When time is done and kingdom come, we'll not be losers in the game! Try again, change direction, spend more money, new horizons, what's it gonna be? Take your hits, I hate my job, live like who, think like what, no thanks I'll just stay me A few more years, a few more tears, are we the losers in the game? When time is done and kingdom come, we'll not be losers in the game! |

No one's born with hatred, it's something that you learn
How do you think the good Lord feels, about the crosses you burn What makes you hate the difference of someone's skin or race? You must think you have more rights to be living in this place I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind? Afraid to take a look at yourself, afraid of the things you will find You're no friend of mine The Dark Ages are over, in case you haven't heard While you're lost in ignorance, you killed a mockingbird Hide behind your bedclothes, meet in some secret place One day soon this hate you've brewed will blow up in your face I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind? Afraid to take a look at yourself, afraid of the things you will find You're no friend of mine Black and white and yellow, living side by side The children always play together, we taught them otherwise All men created equal, all have human rights So tell me why we hate each other, no winners in the fight I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind?

Smoke in the skies and tears in their eyes As the world keeps turning Sleep now, hear a distant thunder It's far away, at least for today Close your eyes and wonder Spring turns so quickly to summer Summer so quickly to fall It seemed far away, or it was yesterday When time didn't matter at all And then you met your winter While dancing with her daughters Till tired and cold Were much wiser than bold You wait for tomorrow to call All of your life you have waited alone for a Savior He's not coming A carousel horse, who is constantly lost Standing still but always running And all of those things that you needed so bad You have found they mean nothing Oh Lord, I'm coming home I'm searching through the haze that's drifting through my mind Stare in the looking glass and wonder who I'll find No one would listen to a man upon the water Until they were old and their mountains of gold couldn't buy any more time All of your life you have waited alone for the Savior He's not coming A carousel horse, who is constantly lost Standing still but always running And all of those things that you needed so bad You have found they mean nothing And Oh Lord, I'm coming home |

From a blue sky falling? Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again? Will you be there to shelter me? The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all That's all Morning comes, I walk to school, but something's in the air Things have changed, there's war at hand, but I'm too young to care My home is a paradise, a jewel in the east My family, they have seen the battles, they're praying for relief Soon to be over, my father he said, victory is ours son We will mourn all of our dead I wonder what happens when a world is at war In order to win, does someone else keep the score? I think of my future on this beautiful day How could I have known that the end's on its way? The sky is quiet Just one single plane To bring destruction Has mankind gone insane? What happened to the land? Metal fused with stone Nothing remains, nothing lives Burned through the bone The sun touched the earth somehow, life melts away One city barren wasteland, a split-second blaze The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass A master stroke of evil in a blinding flash The sea of dead and dying increases by the day For years to come we pay the price of science gone astray |

I hear it in a minstrel wind, it's crying out the tune
Of a prophet's only hope to tell the world He wrote down it on parchment, but alas no one believes Of the vision only one man could conceive He knows it's true Will the people have the ears to hear or will they turn their heads And blind their eyes to the truth once again How is it that you know the season's changing by the leaves But still you do not know that summer's near? It's near So many teachers preach a lie to the sheep who need a guide They need a God that they can touch and see But only if your faith is strong and hope for the unseen You'll find peace amongst the tragedy Woe to those who hear not Woe to souls who've been bought Oh, it's written on the page Woe to those who fear not Woe to souls who've been bought You don't see the ending of the age You wandered throught the wilderness for forty years or more To lead you to the promised land, promised years before Yet still you bowed down to a calf you made with your own hands Have you still not learned a thing, the wickedness of man And oh, hands up to the sky And oh, the angel passes by One bowl for the wicked One bowl for the sea One bowl for the rivers Men screamed in agony The sun will then be darkened The moon will give no light The earthquakes will shake up the earth The terror in the night And oh, hands up to the sky And oh, watch the beast begin to rise Remember what I've told you Remember what you've seen And tell the human race just what it means |

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 |

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. |

Rituals are carried out for reasons quite unknown
The fact remains you have no mind to call your own Condoned by a bible I have written for myself No duplicates, there's only one inside my shelf The spell can't be broken You all have been chosen You're dying for me Demoralized servant to my every need A system of tyranny rages uncontrolled One day soon you'll find it now controls your soul Nothing's changed for many years, your dreams are run with rats They won't hesitate to rip the shirt off your back The spell can't be broken You all have been chosen You're dying for me Demoralized servant to my every need What will you do when your future unfolds? Life as you've known it, you'll be much too old Days of your youth were all spent in defense Memories are painful, the thoughts you resent I know I was meant for much better things No time to sleep, so I've lost all my dreams Look forward to nothing, look back at the same I'll spend my life here and deal with the pain The choice has been made, you all will be slaves Unreasonable power I mock at the suffering and grow strong by the hour Hatred grows among the ones destined to be slaves But only life itself can lead you to your grave Lost in thoughts of what you're told to do for someone else I don't think you're superior, you're making my life hell The spell can't be broken You all have been chosen You're dying for me Demoralized servant to my every need |

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!

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Losing all my marbles wasn't part of the game Existing day by day tormented by the telephone It's hard enough to live my life, why don't you live your own? I pay out money with a check, I never use the cash Collectors closing in on me, is this some kind of test? Borrow is my middle name, the banks give graciously With interest rates that terrify, they knock you senselessly Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without I'm in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty You sit there in your cushy job and call me on the phone You want my money and everything I own I'll pay you soon as I get paid, the check is in the mail Don't call my home anymore, I've long since jumped bail Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without I'm in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty I'm in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty Living on a shoestring daily, maybe I'll make some money maybe I hope to make a living someday, then I'll pay you what I owe you Then you'll get off my back! Someday I'll get ahead of things and life will be so grand I'll buy a house down my the beach, stick my feet in the sand For now I'll do what I can do to keep this dream alive Until I win the lottery I must survive Bounce a check, lie a bit, do without I'm in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty I'm in hiding, just leave me be This is the first step to my date with poverty I'm so fuckin' broke I can't even afford to pay attention Don't you know who I am?

Like finding a solution to starvation and disease I know that you're concerned about your First Ammendment rights But don't you burn our flag to make your point, that's just not right If you think you're better off in a different country Why don't you pack your bags right now Here's your ticket It's on me I've been around this whole wide world and found no better place And no one's gonna start a fire in my homeland's face We have a tendency to take our freedom for granted We have some problems, yes I know Look at the seed you've planted I know that you're aching to be heard What gives you the famous final word? To think that your opinion is preferred What gives you the famous final word? What other country do you know that pays you without work? When you need some money, see your welfare officer There's a lot of other things that you could take a stand about So you and your activists can take the next train out I know that you're aching to be heard What gives you the famous final word? To think that your opinion is preferred What gives you the famous final word? Freedom of speech out of hand Demonstations in the land If you complain a little more What rights you have left Go flying out the door Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies?

Maybe if you'de listen than you'de know what I just said If you think the words I'm singing are why your kids are dead Maybe could it be that no one was there to hear Did you pay attention to their angers and their fears? You're trying to find someone to blame who can't be put on trial The enemy you're looking for is laughing all the while I mourn for those who have been so deceived You know the last words that they spoke were "Who loves me?" People in glass house should not be throwing stones A sticker on a record won't give your kids a home So sad it takes someone to die for you to start to care Your neglect and misguidance have become your nightmare I hope and pray this tragedy was not all just in vain Now you can help somebody else avoid the endless pain I mourn for those who have been so deceived You know the last words that they spoke were "Who loves me?" I hope that someday you will stop and realize why do many kids have died Think twice before you point a finger that you may regret To clear you conscience is your goal, but that is all you'll get What's done is done, you can't bring them back, Just let go of despair You keep saying to yourself "If only I'de been there" I mourn for those who have been so deceived You know the last words that they spoke were "Who loves me?" I hope that someday you will stop and realize Just why do many kids have died |

In the empty spaces of the mind, that's here I store my past
A ghostly image that I fear has yet to be surpassed I pray that I won't carry all the pain 'till the end No direction from your guardian, the one who should protect I'm innocent of their decisions, I wonder why dad left Every night I hide in bed and plan to run away... A lonely child with battered eyes No joy in innocence they cry Always has to lie his way through life I've fallen down while playing ball But mom beat me up and down the hall Just because she had one of those nights Instinct to defend, where does it all end How does a child get himself out of harm's way? A lifelong price to pay It's not that mommy hits that hurts me, it's when she goes away Get home from school all by myself and won't see her for days A kid deprived of love in life has no alternative in sight He throws up barriers to get him through A human life's a gift from God Your conscience and your heart are gone You're much to cruel to have a point of view No one to turn to, oh, how dare you How does a child get himself out of harm's way? A price no one should pay Can't you see the tears they're crying Don't you care your kids are dying? From the senseless torment that you put them through There's different kinds of lies to tell Abuse is from the pit of hell A demon with a goal that is to kill You better hear the words I say Deliverence may be far away You'll look like you have been run through the mill Instinct to defend, where does it all end How does a child get himself out of harm's way? A lifelong price to pay |

when will I ever learn While my world has reached the boiling Point of of no return Don't light a match near me I'm bound to explode Don't pull this shit with me I want what I'm owed I've seen the facts and the figures you hide You time is coming, you're caught in a lie Too many potions in my cabinet Too lives left on the line If you are one of those who made me end up crazy You will get yours all in due time One more hour of induced psychosis I'll be a real nut case That's what I get for listening to you You put me in this place Don't light a match near me I'm bound to explode Don't pull this shit with me I want what I'm owed My reservations have left me to die You're two-faced and scheming, I spit in your eye Too many potions in my cabinet Too lives left on the line If you are one of those who made me end up crazy You will get yours all in due time I'm in a no-win situation, with no timeouts left Time for heavy ammunition, time for action, no regrets Too many potions in my cabinet Too lives left on the line If you are one of those who made me end up crazy You will get yours all in due time |

I hold the key to the world's security
Any price they'll pay to me, pay to me I see the signs, and I heed the call, no one will know me, no one at all Freedom is calling, the money's green, and to no country will I pledge my loyalty I pass for someone who no one knows, I am the wolf who hides in political sheep's clothes A peaceful world in jeopardy, it doesn't really matter all that much to me If the people knew all that I know about their leaders and the ones who run the show More cover-ups, legal deceit, there is no one in power who can destroy me! I hold the key to the world's security Any price they'll pay to me, pay to me Change my face somewhere, lose myself out there Change the way I speak, my past I will delete I'll never know just how I made it out alive But when I look into the future I look through a different eye It doesn't really matter what they need to know 'Cause I can blow the lid off any scandal that they want to be exposed I hold the key to the world's security Any price they'll pay to me, pay to me I'll change my name, a different look, another page in my life's book It makes no difference just who I am, I'll take the money from Mother Russia or Uncle Sam I'm filled with secrets of a nation, here at your disposal to benefit my greed I take my liberties whereever I can find them, I am protected by the crime that lies behind |

I've got no time for decisions
All I can do is complain They threaten with institutions I think they're all insane Ruthlessly holding on The person they want you to be I took the easy way out Flee from reality I'm in a state of confusion I don't know how to get back Don't give a damn about the future I can't remember the past What the hell is going on? Self-induced insanity I took the easy way out Flee from reality Flee from reality Flee from reality Flee from reality Flee from reality How will I get there? To where I find my destiny I need an easy existence Flee from reality I hear the call of temptation My willpower is young Delivering my resignation Responsible citizen Ruthlessly holding on The person you were meant to be Confronted by reason within Flee from reality Flee from reality |

I've been waking up shaking, and the bottles are gone
What will I do with my day, and how will I get along I need a replacement for the habit I have I just need to get something, I can't live in the past The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray What looks like it's harmless, is rotten inside What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise But I've been living in a nightware behind a party disguise The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray Just take a drink and you will find yourself back where you started Temptation is the hardest thing, just push it all away Once you take the first step, there'll be no more turning back Just take a look at how far you progressed to be sober Lose faith in yourself, off the wagon you will fall Staying clean and sober is the only way to go What looks like it's harmless, is rotten inside What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise But I've been living in a nightware behind a party disguise The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray |

In these days of depressing times,
There stands one final truth There's no doubt in my mind at all: the future belongs to the youth So take a stand and show them the best you can do The odds are against you, or so you assume Fight for your rights, they're yours to keep So fight and make it right The road is a long and a treacherous one Draw on the strength from within Don't be discouraged by a slap in the face The struggle has yet to begin So take a stand and show them the best you can do The odds are against you, or so you assume Fight for your rights, they're yours to keep So fight and make it right So take to the streets and find a new way Confusion in masses, the law of today Ride out the storm, it's tougher than ever Can't you see? We're in this together Endowed with a free will and thoughts for expression Don't let them fall by the way Strengthen and use them but don't you abuse them Help build a better day So take a stand and show them the best you can do The odds are against you, or so you assume Fight for your rights, they're yours to keep So fight and make it right Make it right Make it right Make it right |
