"Here we go... crush, crush, crush ′em..."
Mamas pack their lunches, kiddies pack their guns
Wishing it will go away, but nothing′s getting done
A shot heard ′round the world, when a mother′s baby dies
We the people, point our fingers, blame and wonder why
Face it and fight, or turn high tail and run
′Til it comes back again just like the rising sun
Say they do all they can, it′s just another lie
The answer′s plain to see, nobody wants to try
There′s no recess and no rules in the school of life
If you listen very closely, you′ll see what it′s like
Have cool, will travel
Tell myself it ain′t true, they just cannot see
Grown up or sewn up, the medicine′s worse than the disease
I have cool, will travel
Here we go
Have cool will travel
Responsibility, an anchor around my neck
Dependability, made me a nervous wreck
Accountability, I live from check to check
Volatility, neglect and no respect
Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to "I don′t know" and look for "Tough Shit Street"
One-way ticket nowhere there′s no windows on this train
Can′t see where I′m headed but I′m going there again
Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I′m a Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho
You know you can′t resist to tell me what I mean
You gave my mind a twist said that I was unclean
The actor runs the play and ad-libs in between
You′re all that I resent my thoughts were so obscene
Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to "I don′t know" and look for "Tough Shit Street"
One-way ticket nowhere there′s no windows on this train
Can′t see where I′m headed but I′m going there again
Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I′m a Moto Psycho
One-way ticket nowhere there′s no windows on this train
Can′t see where I′m headed but I′m going there again
Moto Psycho
Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho
Going nowhere move it or lose it baby Moto Psycho
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour Moto Psycho
Where I′m headed I don′t know but I′m shoving off and I hit the road
Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho – time and time and time again I′m a
Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho I′m a Moto Psycho
Now before they take me
And my blessed life
Now you′ll know why Deth
Was summoned here tonight
I′ll recall my perils
They′ll kill me in pride
No, I can′t run away
There′s no place to hide
Though too much to live for
I owe enough to die
Ask not for salvation
My Deth shall mean their lives
Hatred and guilt the alter they′ve built
High preists of sin
Destiny, fate the wicked ones gate
Beckoning you in
Down the walkways
Through the blood stained town
Looking down the cross
Bleeding from the crown
Led to stay
To die besides the thieves
Kill the king
Of the world to be
And now to you, this will come
A putrifying pestolence
More noxious than the serpents breath
Male violently destined
More corrupt than the malice of choronzon
More disease than the wind
Of the moonlight sun
Putrification you have caused
No need for confession
Now you wish you had a gun to stop the demolition
Swinging the judgement hammer
Man, woman, child no-one is safe
The heads of the dead are the banner
and this was all you got
So don these broken wings
Sands of time run out
Bells of Hades ring
Is this a nightmare
To unhallow thy name
Smell of brimstone
Dancing in the flames
No help now
As you fulfill his task
Chief of evil
Has got you by the ass
Set free
To sit upon the throne
Just a dream?
Your weeping all alone
Looking down the cross
(speak no evil)
I′m looking down the cross
(speak no evil)
Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria′s high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Backed in a corner, caught up in the race
Means to an end ended in disgrace
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase
Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost
Personal Holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream
Barren land that once filled a need
Are worthless now, dead without a deed
Slipping away from an iron grip
Nature′s scales are forced to tip
The heartland cries, loss of all pride
To leave ain′t believing, so try and be tried
Insufficient funds, insanity and suicide
Now with new hope some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontier
New ideas will surely get by
No deed, or dividend. Some may ask "Why?"
You′ll find the solution, the answers in the sky
Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria′s high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Holocaust
I see Chronos
His eyes are on fire
He holds my life
And I see my time expire
Beat the clock
My head starts to spin
Tick, tock
I can′t let time win
I miss the warm embrace I felt
First time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms
I should have known you′d crush me
A snake you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisoned fangs
The venom never goes away
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jackyl speaking with tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain
Once stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
I′m the sun that beats your brow in
Til I finally threw the towel in
Never knowing if I′d wake up in a
Whirlpool got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood
In a cesspool I became dead
From a rock star to a desk fool
Was my destiny someone said
Loves a tidepool
Taste the waters life′s abundant
Taste me
Each day my shortcomings pick my pockets
My faults were letters carved in stone
As meaningful to you as words written in water
I′m left to walk this world alone
In a broken mold they made me
The black sheep of the family
Worth less than zero my opinion
And room temperature IQ
I did something, now I′m nothing
Always wrong with this or that
Poisoned with fear watch it twist
My measly brain mad
Talk about me when my bac is turned
Next time we meet it will be to late
The memory burned in my ears of what you said
And now I′ve got a recipe for hate. Taste it
Dark clouds on the horizon
Make it hard to breathe
A walking mistake but every time
I run away, I just come back for more
The choice is clear I can quit
And fall on my sword or light a fire
To see who runs or stays
And plays the confidence game
...Warhorse
I′m feeling quite invisible
I feel just like thin air
The truth taunts me
I see the earth below me
I watch it spinning there
Does someone, somewhere
Out there hear me?
Sentenced to walk in Purgatory
My life is running down
I can′t believe what they′ve done to me
I′m left riding a Warhorse
A man without a country
If I see the morning hours
I′ll have one more yesterday
Take life from tomorrow
Cause I′ve burned out my today
If I get up to the top I know
I′ll just go back downhill
Gotta′ terminal future
And it′s time to write my will
Down another glass of courage
And a shot of thorazine
We′re not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We′re not ready to see you yet
Gotta′ short between the earphones
Wringing my hands in dismay
A more efficient maniac
With two feet in the grave
Ain′t got no last words to say
Yellow streak right up my spine
The gun in my mouth was real
And the taste blew my mind
In a black tie and straight jacket
Man I′m gonna try again
Demitasse of arsenic
Try on this tie
Never mind the tree
There is only death and danger
In the sockets of my eyes
A playground of illusion
No one plays they only die
There′s a prison in my mind
And the bars are gonna break
I′m as mad as a hatter
And strung out just the same
Taunting rigor mortis
I feel it draw me in
Sacriledge and blasphemy
Sets the stage today
The more insatiable the sex
The more swelled our tongues became
As pre-historic as it seems
This is now, today
As pre-historic as it seems
This is now
Talkin′ ′bout no vision
Talkin′ ′bout no dream
The Harlot puddles for her lies
From where she speaks
I look above and see
Entrails in the sky
This song ain′t over ′til the
Fat lady dies
One man rules the earth
And rides the seven-headed beast
Ten diadems, to rule them all, to crown them all
The world, religion at his feet
Dreams are told of dreams of old
This day will surely come
So, run my child and hide your face
Once you′ve been marked it′s finished, done
You′ll become one
You′re mine
You′re one
I saw a new earth today
I saw a former pass away
I saw a new earth today
I saw a former pass away
Vengence is mine
Vengence is mine
The Netherworld and Sheol
Are never satisfied
So the eyes of Man are
Never sat-is-fied
I saw a new Earth today
I saw a former pass away
The doctor is calling
Something′s gone wrong
Nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room
Something′s going down
But I can′t make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
Always sharing trips
Remove me from your lips
Sight and mind still and never go away
One too many tantrums
Deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
This place is my home
My mind still runs free
The doctor′s prescription
Less for you and more for me
The coat of arms falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling
I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away
A merciful embalming
I hear the doctor calling me away
Hey... look around you
Everything′s helter-skelter
Listen up... I warn you
Run for cover, run
Bang... it happened
Time′s up, armageddon
Fire... meltdown
The sky is crumbling in
Black curtains... never ending
Escape... you′re joking
Can′t find no place to run
Hair... is burning
My flesh is bubbling up
Blood... is boiling
Taste copper on my tongue
Fate... is coming
Welcome it with a smile
Black curtains... never ending, fall
Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest
Held for ransom in a spider′s web
Suffocating, no one hears my calls
Never ending, till the black curtain falls
Snakes... surround me
Offering their death kiss to me
Down... I′m drowning
How long, I hold my breath
Dogs, are chasing
My legs are paralyzed
Pray... don′t find me
My life is fading fast
You doubt your strength or courage
Don′t come to join with me
For Deth surely wants you
With sharp and pointy teeth
An animal so vicious
No others fought and won
So on the fields of battle
We are the chosen one
Human bones blanket the dirt
of the heathens lair
That we must pass this den of deth
The only path from here
But I walk in the light
The time to die has come
No one shall take my life
I′m of the chosen ones
Black shadows till the sky
As the creatures eyes grow near
Raise the shield of the holy pilgrims
High into the air
Heavens powers fill my arms
Onward now to fight I′m sent
Oh the beast is coming
To put you to the test
Lookout!
Now this land is mine to pilage
Rape, and steal, and take at will
Never let you cross this path
I reign, for now, I say to Kill
My life′s on time,
But again my sense is late.
Feel a might unsteady,
But still I have to play.
Six to one′s the odds,
And, we have the highest stakes.
And, once again I gamble with my very life today.
Highly polished metal,
The oil makes it gleam.
Fill the terror chamber,
Your mind begins to scream.
Your life is like a trigger,
Never trouble till you′re squeezed.
Now you crack a smile,
As you give the gun a tease.
Place the piston down,
Now give the gun a spin.
Soon as the spinning stops,
Oh no, the game starts in.
A hateful way of vengeance,
A bit of playful sin.
Load another bullet,
Now the second round begins.
A couple grains of powder,
A couple grams of lead.
A touch against the trigger,
A touch inside the head.
Take another drink, and
Raise the last bets.
Think about my last words,
They might be what I just said.
A click comes from the hammer,
That couldn′t drive a nail.
Sense the numbing cold blue,
Or the red of Hades′ grill.
A fraction of a second,
Do you lose, or maybe still,
Pass it to the left,
And collect your mighty kill.
Add another bullet,
The third round begins.
Soon as the spinning stops,
Oh no, the game starts in.
Please, no I.O.U.′s,
No markers for death.
Does anybody play? Anybody,
Somebody, anybody play.
You, you, next victim, you next to die.
You, you, next victim, you next to die.
You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.
You, come on, next victim, your turn to die.
Now, one day I started telling everyone
That "Killing Is My Business..."
And I was hung like a martyr
For "Looking Down the Cross"
My "Skull Beneath The Skin"
Prophisied "Last Rites/Loved To Death" my friends
Then I started seeing "Bad Omens" in my head
"Good Mourning/Black friday" will I "Wake up Dead"?
If I "Aint Superstitious" then this won′t mean a thing
But some crazy shit has happened since "The Conjuring"
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a Victory
Came "Anarchy" to "Set The World Afire"
Pain of "Hook In Mouth", "In My Darkest Hour"
Corruption of the world "Peace Sells...But Nobody′s Buying"
Ignorant religion "Holy Wars" and the dying, yea
"Tornado" nearly got me
By the "Skin of My Teeth"
"This Was My Life","Forclosure of My Dreams"
May the past "Rust in Peace" in "Hangar 18"
And "Countdown to Extinction"
Just be a bad dream
"Lucretia" said...
Born from the dark,
In the black cloak of night
To envelop its prey below,
Deliver to the light
To eliminate your enemy,
Hit them in their sleep,
And when all is won and lost,
The spoils of wars are yours to keep
Great nations built from the bones of the dead,
With mud and straw, blood and sweat,
You know your worth when your enemies
Praise your architecture of aggression
Ensuing power vacuum,
A toppled leader dies
His body fuels the power fire,
And the flames rise to the sky
One side of his face a kiss,
The other genocide
Time to pay with your ass,
A worldwide suicide
Born from the dark,
In the black cloak of night
To envelop its prey below,
Deliver to the light
To eliminate your enemy,
Hit then in their sleep,
And when all is won and lost,
The spoils of war are yours to keep
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
Now we′ve rewritten history
The one thing we′ve found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
If you′re fighting to live
It′s O.K. to die!
The answer to your question is...
Welcome to tomorrow!
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!
Behind closed doors all you live for is taking
That double life of yours has left your whole world shaking
Who are you fooling? I know you hear the laughter
Don′t you hear people talking? What is it that your after?
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything′s so real so you just – Disconnect
The key to save yourself if for nothing else
A tongue can never hold the truth of silence is golden
With a broken heart underneath all of the pain
Do you stroke the pretty scars? The hurt never ends
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything′s so real so you just – Disconnect
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything′s so real so you just – Disconnect
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything′s so real so you just – Disconnect
Your bodies empty now
As I hold you
Now gone I miss you
But I told you
I remember bad times
More than good
There′s no coming back
Even if we could
I loved you to deth
If I can′t have you
Than no one will
And since I won′t
I′ll have to kill
My only love, something
I′ve never felt
Now you′ve gone to heaven
And you′ll burn in hell
I loved you to deth
And now I′m down below
And what do I see
You didn′t go to heaven
Your down here with me
And now coming back,
Baby, take me, please!
I really think I would
If you weren′t such a sleaze
I loved you once before
You kept me on a string
I′d rather go without
Than take what you would bring
I loved you to deth
Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air
Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I′m off to meet my maker
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won′t stop til I hit the ground, I′m on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I′m on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt
Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I′ll be dead
Jump or die!
Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I′m a dirt torpedo
High speed dirt...
He had an unfamiliar face
Complete life in disarray
A simple man, power drunk
No worries of living, no more anything
Deep inside, I′ve seen it rise
Actions progress to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the reasons that we sin?
Not one to be forgot
Spoiled rotten, or so they say
Once burned, forever marked
Hurt by just a few, but so many have to pay
Pressure coming down
Down on me, gonna break
Broken fingernails
Digging in, scratch my face
Nervous, like a cat
Gonna jump through my skin
Shadows on the wall
Stretching out, grope for me
Resons, deep in me
Let me be
Let me bleed
Set me free
The reasons that we sin
You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love, but I call sex
You′ve been kissing when you ought-a-be-a
Screwing and now someone else can
Kiss your ass
These boots are made for walking
Thats just what they′ll do
And one of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you
You keep lieing and there ain′t no believing
And you keep stayin when you ought-a-be-a leaving
Now what′s right is right but you ain′t been
Right yet
These Boots...
You keep dressin ways you shouldn′t
Be dressing
And you keep thinking that you′ll never
Get burned Ha!
I just found me a brand new Box Spring
Mattress
What you know bitch you got a lot ta learn
These boots... are you ready boots
Solo-Poland
And you think I′m kiddin, Don′tchya!
I′m doing you a favor
As I′m taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don′t even trust me
There′s bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is Trouble
I′m coming in for the kill...
And you know I will
Set the ball a-rollin
I′ll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life o′ style
My thinking is derailed
I′m tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain′t no turning back
No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I′m blowing on my cards
And play them to my chest
Life′s fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west
I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch
And how I make you wanna scream in pain
And feel your life is just a losing game
I like the way that you let me in
The way you look when the walls cave in
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop
I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there′s nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies
Don′t want no revenge
Ain′t no pay back time
It ain′t called getting even
Here comes the reconing day
I like the things that you try to fake
And your face when I see you break
And that you say you will pray for me
You realize you are prey for me
I like the way you stay on attack
No matter what, I keep coming back
And how you try to hold me down
But you end up driven to the ground
Only yesterday they told me you were gone
All these normal people will I find another one?
Monkey on my back, aching in my bones
I forgot you said "One day you′ll walk alone"
I said I need you, does that make me wrong?
Am I a weak man, are you feeling strong?
My heart was blackened, it′s bloody red
A hole in my heart, a hole in my head?
Who will help me up?
Where′s the helping hand?
Will you turn on me?
Is this my final stand?
In a dream I connot see
Tangled abstract fallacy
Random turmoil builds in me
I′m addicted to chaos
Light shined on my path,
Turn bad days into good
Turn breakdowns into blocks, I smashed ′em
Cause I could
My brain was labored, my head would spin
Don′t let me down, don′t give up, don′t give in
The rain comes down, cold wind blows
The plans we made are back up on the road
Turn up my collar, welcome the unknown
Remember that you said
"One day you′ll walk alone"
Bestow upon me knowledge
Wizard – all knowing all wise
I want to rule this kingdom
Make sweet the breeze now defiled
Dethrone the evil prince′s iron fists
In velvet gloves of sin
Parade the grey robed monks
The vestal virgins,wheel the wyvern′s in
Let the ceremony
consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege
Of five magics
Give me alchemy
Wizardry
Sorcery
Thermatology
Electricity
Magic if you please
Master all of these
Bring him to his knees
I master five magics
Possessed with hellish torment
I master magics "5"
Hunting the abyss lord
Only one will stay alive
He who lives by the sword
Will surely also die
He who lives in sin
Will surely live the lie
The salyer′s arrived
On a black horse of steel
Trouble is coming
Hell on two wheels
Hide in the shadows
Awaiting defeat
Or live by the sword
And choose to be free
We say retribution
We say vengeance is bliss
We say revolution
With a cast iron fist
Coming down the road
Watching every move
Kicking in the doors
Taking what we choose
Anarchy′s coming to town
A fiery invader
Burning it down to the ground
The Disintegrators
Anarchy′s coming
Here it comes
Burning it down to the ground
The Disintegrators
Mean and infectious
The evil Prophets rise
Dance of the Macabre
As witches Streak the sky
Decadent worship of
Black Magic sorcery
In the womb of the Devil′s Dungeon
trapped without a plea
See thing in agony
Necrosis is the fate
Pins sticking through the skin
The venom now sedates
Locked in a pillory
Nowhere to be found
Screaming for your life
But no one hears a sound
Hellpp Mmmeeeeee
Prepare the patients scalp
To peel away
Metal caps his ears
He′ll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor
Riveted cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws
So no one hears his cries
The skull beneath the skin
Now your drawn and quartered
Your bones will make the x
Symbol stands for poison
And it′s chained to your head
And as we fold your arms
To make the holy cross
We cross the crucifix
Religion has been lost
The skull beneath the skin
As sure as the sun rises in the east
Another gunman will come seeking my defeat
Will he be as fast as me, are his nerves quiet and still
Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill
I′m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I′m an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone
As I ride into the sunset to take another town
Thank you for the invite, but I just can′t settle down
The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns
Dust from shooting down another dozen clowns
I′m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I′m an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone
A drum beats for me, it′s louder every day
The cadence tells me that soon I′ll meet my judgment day
Life′s an endless showdown never knowing when they′ll come
I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun
The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief
I′m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I′m an outcast with lightning in my hand
I got wanderlust lost in no man′s land
I got a lust for wandering lost in no man′s land
I got wanderlust
I′m running in quicksand
something′s haunting me
the guilty past I′ve buried
my mind won′t let me sleep
I′ll do anything for peace – I keep waking up
a solemn oath I make
cross my heart please let me sleep – I keep waking up
how much more do I take
My head is talking to me
I don′t know what it needs
but the loudest voice
is the one I heed
Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I can′t sleep – insomnia
I′m twisting and turning – I keep waking up
the madness I must tame
my candle is burning – I keep waking up
both ends again today
The whole house is creaking
I know they′re out there
the things kept from sight
I beg to the shadows
I can′t sleep
Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream
In my hour of need
ha you′re not there
and though I reached out for you
wouldn′t lend a hand.
Through the darkest hour
grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
no one cares for me.
Did you ever think I get lonely
did you ever think that I needed love
did you ever think to stop thinking
you′re the only one that I′m thinking of.
You′ll never know how hard I tried
to find my space and satisfy you too.
Things will be better when I′m dead and gone
don′t try to understand, knowing you I′m probably wrong.
But oh how I lived my life for you
still you′d turn away
now as I die for you
my flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
all these years I thought I was wrong
now I know it was you
raise you head, raise your face your eyes
tell me who you think you are, who?
I walk, I walk alone
into the promised land.
There′s a better place for me
but it′s far, far away
everlasting life for me
in a perfect world
but I gotta die first,
please god send me on my way.
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, Alone so alone, I′m lost
Consumed by the pain
the pain, the pain, the pain.
Won′t you hold me again
you just laughed, ha ha, bitch
my whole life is work built on the past
but the time has come when all things shall pass
this good thing passed away.
In my darkest hour.
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don′t understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God′s command?
A country that′s divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it′s crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don′t look now to Israel
It might be your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel′s bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
I heard somebody fixed today
There was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust
Looking back at what he left
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the things he won′t get done
The things he won′t get done
I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
I′ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands
They fight a war, but it′s fatal; it′s so hard to understand
I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
Just one shot to say "goodbye"
One last taste to mourn and cry, cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in
He hangs his head and wonders why
Why the monkey only lies, lies
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose
I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
I′ve seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
They fight a war, but it′s fatal; it′s so hard to understand
I′ve seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand
Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end
I′ve seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
Let me introduce myself I′m a social disease
I′ve come for your wealth leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
I won′t ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone
What′s yours is mine and what′s mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
If I′m right I lose nothing, if you′re right I lose it all
I ought to get caught because I′m doing something wicked
I′m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind
You built walls to protect you so no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there that vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find what you really left behind
You don′t know when the end is but it′s coming fast
What′s yours is mine and what′s mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
If I′m right I lose nothing, if you′re right I lose it all
I ought to get caught because I′m doing something wicked
I′m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences
Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind
Killer, intruder, homicidal man.
If you see me coming, run as fast as you can.
A blood thirsty demon who′s stalking the street.
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat.
Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend,
Bludgeonous slaughters, my evil deeds.
My hammer′s a cold piece of blood-lethal steel.
I grin while you writhe with the pain that I deal.
Swinging the hammer, I hack through their heads,
Deviant defilers, you′re next to be dead.
I unleash my hammer with sadistic intent.
Pounding, surrounding, slamming through your head. Yeah!
Their bodies convulse, in agony, and, pain.
I mangle their faces, till no features remain.
A blade for the butchering, I cut them to shreds.
First take out the organs, then cut off the head.
The remains of flesh now sop under my feet.
One more bloody massacre, the murders′ complete.
I seek to dismember, a sadist fiend.
And, blood baths are my way of getting clean.
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill.
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill
A merciless butcher who lives underground.
I′m out to destroy you and ,I will, cut you down.
I see you, and, I′m waiting ,for Black Friday.
Killer, intruder, homicidal man.
If you see me coming, run as fast as you can.
A blood thirsty demon who′s stalking the street.
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat.
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill.
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill
A merciless butcher who lives underground.
I′m out to destroy you and ,I will, cut you down.
It′s Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall.
Somewhere there′s a reason
Why things go like they do
Somewhere there′s a reason
Why somethings just fall through
We don′t always see them
For what they really are
But I know there′s a reason,
Just can′t see it from this far
Maybe I don′t like it, but I have no choice
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice
I thought I knew it all
I thought I had it made
How could it end this way?
I thought I knew
Somewhere there′s a reason
Why things don′t go my way
Somewhere there′s a reason
That I cannot explain
Just like the change of season,
Just may not be my turn
But I know there′s a reason,
The lesson′s mine to learn
Make up the rules for me to live by
Rules you break and just let it slide
You try and find you inside of me
Be as great as you want me to be
Hypocrite, the word that fits
Do as you say
Not as you do
You′re pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint
Self esteem you seem to lack
Point the finger
There′s three pointing back
Control′s the illusion with all good intent
Bad times are contagious
You laugh and infect
Criticist, the word that fits
Put me down to lift you up
You′re pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint
Watching pain is your only pleasure
Sick fascination for someone′s disaster
Self suffering since you were born
Mess with the bull and you′ll get the horn
Misery, the word that fits
Can′t seem to smile ′till someone′s sad
You′re pushing me to a breakpoint
You′re pushing me, push, push me
Push, push, push me to a breakpoint
In my opinions as a professional I recommend
We straight-jacket the son-of-a-bitch
Lock him in a rubber room
Sedate him, heavily
And when he wakes up,
If he wakes up, we′ll see
If he can be a nice boy
Well... I don′t know... It′s gonna hurt me
More that it′s gonna hurt him
Let′s do it!
You push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Don′t push me, you piece of shit!
I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
Just can′t believe it
There′s nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost
Living alone, can′t stand this place
It′s four in the morning, and I still see your face
I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I′d bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you′ve gone away
You were almost honest, almost
Living alone, falling from grace
I want to atone, but there′s just empty space
I can′t face tomorrow, now you′re not coming back
Walked off in the night, and just left me the tracks
I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I shoud hang up, but I don′t have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don′t ask who′s to blame, I don′t know
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
There′s a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there, but their face don′t show
If you get inside, you can′t get out
There′s no coming back, I hear them shout
Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
How I arrived I can′t explain
You′re welcome to, if you wanna stay
But everyone just runs away
Let me in, get me out
Can′t do more than twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace
Found it again in my seret place
In disgrace
I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things that′s right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can′t explain how I got in this mess
Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars
Possibly I′ve seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much
Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended state of cryogenics
Selective amnesia′s the story
Believed foretold but who′d suspect
The military intelligence
Two words combined that can′t make sense
Possibly I′ve seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much
You live in a world of fantasy
You live in a web of deceit
You want it all including me
You like it all to be neat
I come to you when shadows fall
I leave as the dawn arrives
Hide the truth to deceive them all
How my good intention lies
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
Secret meetings that we hide
Deeds of iniquity
The price of foolish pride
The cost of immorality
And we hide the truth to deceive them all
And the pain of what will never be
Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy
My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak
I cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones
I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth
I am insidious, impartial, deep inside your chromosomes
I take what you love, and leave you in tears
I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames
I bring poverty, sickness and death
A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, I steal your wealth
I answer your prayers for greed and lust
More than evil, I laugh at your trust
I am more powerful than all the armies of the world
I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death
I have destroyed more men than all the nation′s wars
I am relentless, unpredictable, waiting for your last breath
Evil, more evil than violence
Violent, more violent than death
Deadly, more deadly than man
I am yeah, yeah, I′m evil I am
My kingdom corrupt with dissent
Your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin
Let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness
I take what you love, and leave you in tears
Imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake I dance with the flames
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the most beautiful angel
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness, unpredictable, the prince of darkness
Prince of darkness
Hello me... Meet the real me
And my misfits way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession
Hindsight is always 20-20,
But looking back it′s still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story... Tell it to Reader′s Digest!
Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety′s attacking me, and
My air is getting thin
I′m in trouble for the things
I haven′t got to yet
I′m chomping at the bit, and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets.
Hello me... It′s me again
You can subdue, but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Thinking down to your level
Yea, just keep on thinking it′s my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don′t know where I′ve been
I′m in trouble for the things
I haven′t got to yet
I′m sharpening the axe and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets
Well, me... it′s nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won′t take a day off I′ll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again
Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety′s attacking me
And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don′t know where I′ve been
Once you committed me
Now you′ve acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I′m chomping at the bit
I′m sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets
Forgotten things remembered
The tigers eat their young
The body stayed but inside the head
The mind was on the run
A conspiracy of silence
The only way out of pain
Is turn around, run through it man
Too wet to come in from the rain,
Tell them...
I know they were doing it to you
But don′t try doing it to me
Let me show you, how I love you
It′s our secret, you and me
But keep it in the family tree
The secret of the family tree
When you hear them saying "trust me"
Don′t wait to see what′s next
Thrown to the wolves
Forever trusting
Raised in a form of living hell
Sing a one note song of rage
Live and die within your heart
So beware in the shadows
Your family tree waits in the dark
I say...
Internal combustion
Multiple personalities
Terror inside of me
A mask of silent agonies
Curse the falling rain
The vortex of pain
As medieval as Merlin
A pact for power remains
Lucifer in transition
It′s time, time the price was paid
Scorching the domain
the vortex of pain
A telestic message
Written in torment
Howl out dirges
Like the hors of Jericho
Distorted faces
Writhing in rage
Walls of purgatory
Tumble down
Endless death
The jewels of a crown
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die
They killed my wife, and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake!
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!
Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don′t say it, don′t mean I ain′t
Thinkin′ it
Next thing you know, they′ll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings
Finished with my woman ′cause she couldn′t help me with my mind
people think I′m insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I′ll lose my mind if I don′t find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can′t find
I can′t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it′s too late
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
′Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends ′cause they read the papers
They can′t be seen with me
And I′m gettin′ shot down
And I′m feeling mean
No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he′s sick, he′s obscene
My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye
My mom′s been thrown out of the society circle
My dad′s had to hide
I went to church incognito
And everybody rose, the reverend Smith
He recognized me
Punched me in the nose
No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean
No more Mister nice guy
They say he′s sick, he′s obscene
Tremble you weaklings, cower in fear
I am your ruler, land, sea and air
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
I am a nuclear murderer I am Polaris
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My system locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land, air and sea
Pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of hell
Will we give warning, only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind
I spread disease like a dog
Discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn′t scare us
When will this cease
The warheads will all rust in peace
Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Survival such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps
High priest of holocaust, fire from the sea
Nuclear winter spreading disease
The day of final conflict
All pay the price
The third world war
Rapes peace, takes life
Back to the start, talk of the part
When the earth was cold as ice
Total dismay as the sun passed away
And the days where black as night
Eradication of Earth′s
Population loves Polaris
Welcome to out sanguinary sect of worship.
Feel at home in our black conventicle,
As we anathematise
All of those who oppose us.
Don′t summon the devil,
Don′t call the priests,
If you need the strength
The conjuring. Obey!!!
Behold the flames rise
From the compass′ cardinal points.
Burn the sacred oil,
And, with the ashes you′ll annoint.
Arrange the symbols,
Of the wizard, and, magician.
Light the candles,
Place the parchment paper in position.
Between its leaves place
The lash from a black cat′s eye,
A straw of a broom,
Fold, and, burn, and, centralise.
Don′t summon the devil,
Don′t call the priests,
If you need the strength,
The conjuring.
I am the devil′s advocate,
A salesman, if you will
You know my name. [You know my name]
I met your father years ago,
Gave him what he′d please.
He called my name, you′ll do the same.
I′m claiming what is mine by right,
It′s time to close the deal.
You′re bought and sold, bought and sold.
Come join me in my infernal depths,
Mephisto′s hall of fame.
I′ve got your soul, I′ve got your soul.
The conjuring. Obey!!!
