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! Chorus 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. Solo - Dave 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 Chorus 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 Chorus 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 |

You take a mortal man
And put him in control Watch him become a god Watch people's heads a'roll A'roll Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Of destruction Acting like a robot Its metal brain corrodes You try to take its pulse Before the head explodes Explodes Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Of destruction The earth starts to rumble World powers fall A'warring for the heavens A peaceful man stands tall Tall Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Of destruction |

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 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 heard 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 cannot see Tangled abstract fallacy Random turmoil builds in me I'm addicted to chaos Lights 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" Who will help me up? Where's the helping hand? Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand? In a dream I cannot see Tangled abstract fallacy Random turmoil builds in me I'm addicted to chaos Who will help me up? Where's the helping hand? Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand?

Uneasy feeling, Burning out my eyes
I hope the end is less painful than my life I stand on trial before the gods On Judgment day A blink of an eye between The cradle and the grave One last look at visions of flesh The last best hope of man on earth Pontius Pilate still washing his hands The world don't want to be saved Only left alone Elysian Fields... We are storming the heavens To raise the swords and shields We ascend to our destiny To the Elysian fields Soaring to the sun With blood upon their wings Superstitious dust left twisting in the wind Man still has one belief, One decree that stands alone The laying down of arms Is like cancer to their bones One last look at visions of flesh The last best hope of man on earth Pontius Pilate still washing his hands The world don't want to be saved Only left alone Elysian Fields... We are storming the heavens To raise the swords and shields We ascend to our destiny To the Elysian fields |

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 Let me show you, how I love you 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... 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 Let me show you, how I love you But keep it in the family tree The secret of the family tree |

Never ending, fall Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest Held for ransom in 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 |

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 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. |

kiddies back 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 |

The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom Wicked temptress knows how to please The priestess roars Get down on your knees The rite of the praying mantis Kiss the bones of the enchantress Spellbound searching through the night A howling man surrenders the fight One look in her lusting eyes Savage fear in you will rise Teeth of terror sinking in The bite of the she wolf One look in her lusting eyes Savage fear in you will rise Teeth of terror sinking in The bite of the she wolf My desires of flesh obey me The lioness will enslave me Another heart beat than my own The sound of claws on cobblestone I'm stoned One look in her lusting eyes Savage fear in you will rise Teeth of terror sinking in The bite of the she wolf One look in her lusting eyes Savage fear in you will rise Teeth of terror sinking in The bite of the she wolf Beware what stalks you in the night Beware the she-wolf and her bite Her mystic lips tell only lies Beware what stalks you in the night Beware the she-wolf and her bite Her mystic lips tell only lies |

Terror inside of me A mask of silent agony Curse the falling rain The vortex of pain As medieval as Merlin A pact for power was made Lucifer in transition It's time the price was paid Searching the domain The vortex of pain A telestic message Writtin in torment Howl out dirges Like the horns of Jericho Distorted faces Writhing in rage Walls of purgatory Tumble down Endless death The jewels of a crown |

Looking for a cure within the human race
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take Burning up the tents of the rank and file Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile Crushing down, caving in our will to live Getting rid of man's mistakes To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down How much more can we take Fight for freedom, fight authority Fight for anything, my country tis' of me Cry for absolution, it's not the end for me A last minute pardon, one final reprieve Resist the war machine, don't get in its path Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath Crushing down, caving in our will to live Getting rid of man's mistakes To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down I don't know how much more I can take Fight!... It's my country |

Lost in a dream
nothing Is what it seems searching my head For the words that you said Tears filled my eyes as we said Our last goodbyes this sad scene Replays of you walking away My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust we lied to each other So much that in nothing we trust Time and again she repeats Let's be friends I smile and say yes Another trust bends I must confess I try to let go but I know We'll never end 'til we're dust We lied to each other again But I wish I could trust My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust we lied to each other So much that in Nothing we trust God help me please On my knees betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much Now there's nothing we trust~ My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust we lied to each other So much now there's nothing We trust God help me please On my knees betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much Now there's nothing we trust My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust we lied to each other So much nothing we trust oh~ Absolutely nothing we trust~ |

There once was a familiar face
Battle scars in disarray A simple man, power drunk No worries of living, no more anything Deep inside I've seen it rise Bastards possesses to no end Mirror, mirror, please look inside Do you see the evil that's within? Pyramids of dead men and dogs Spoils of war so they say Once burned, forever marked Hurt by just a few but so many have to pay Deep inside I've seen it rise Bastards possesses to no end Mirror, mirror, please look inside Do you see the evil that's within? Pressure coming down Down on me, gonna break Broken fingernails Digging in, scratch your face Nervous, like a cat Gonna jump through my skin Shadows on the wall Stretching out, grope for me Evil, evil Evil, deep in me Evil, let me be Evil, let me bleed Evil, set me free Evil, set me free Evil, set me free The evil that's within |

Pounding in my teeth
Hydraulics on the move Kicking in my face Savage bucking mule Pummeling my soul 100 tons of lead Trampled under foot Steamrollers on my head Crushing down, caving in my will to live I'd rather be dead, scream insane To have the bullprick split their guts Make them pay make them bleed On your backs, in your face Down your throats, up your ass Bullprick! Pulverizing flesh, broken bones the aftermath Can't escape the war, the war machine path All become one, flattening the streets Cry for absolution, splitting at the seams Crushing down, caving in my will to live I'd rather be dead, scream insane To have the bullprick split their guts Make them pay make them bleed On your backs, in your face Down your throats, up your ass Bullprick! On your backs, in your face Down your throats, up your ass Bullprick! |

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 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. |

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 |

Sitting up late at night
A tiptoe through the darkness Cold as hell black as spades Aware of my immediate surrounding In my place I escape Up into my hideout Hiding from everyone My friends all say Dave your mental anyway hey! Drift into a deeper state I stalk a cobwebbed stairways Dirt grits beneath me feet The stair creaks, I precariously sneak Hypnosis guides my hand I slipside through the walkways Sit in granny's rockin' chair Memories are whirling by yeah Reminisce in the attic Lucretia waits impatiently Cobwebs make me squint The cobra so eloquently glints Moonbeams surge through the sky The crystal ball's energized Surely that like the cat waiting Lucretia rocks away |

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all Hanging up I wanted to cry But dammit this well's gone dry Not for the money not for the fame Not for the power just no more games But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado I can't replace the lies that let a 1000 days go No more living trapped inside In her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado blow me away You'll grow to loathe my name You'll hate me just the same You won't need your breath And soon you'll meet your death Not from the years not from the use Not from the tears just self abuse But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado I can't replace the lies that let a 1000 days go No more living trapped inside In her way I'll surely die In the eye of the tornado blow me away Who's to say what's for me to say Who's to say what's for me got free Who's to say what's for me to do Cause a big nothing it'll be for me The land of opportunity The golden chance for me My future looks so bright Now I think I've seen the light Can't say what's on my mind Can't do what I really feel In this bed I made for me Is where I sleep I really feel I warn you of the fate Proven true to late Your tongue twist perverse Come drink now of this curse And now I fill your brain I spin you round again My poison fills your head As I tuck you into bed You feel my fingertips You won't forget my lips You'll feel my cold breath It's the kiss of death |

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 Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost Personal holocaust Foreclosure of a dream 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 answer's in the sky Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost Personal holocaust Foreclosure of a dream 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 Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost Personal holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Holocaust |

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!

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 Where do we go from here? And should we really care? The end is finally here God have mercy! If you're fighting to live It's okay to die The answer to your question is Welcome to tomorrow Where do we go from here? God have mercy!

Drink as did bacchus, rebel just like cain Lord of the city, I shall remain All pandemonium, I shall reign Sit in my fortress, up on my hill Drinking the wine, 'til I've had my fill Building up high, my castle walls Oh, to veil my splendid fall I present you, I present to you, I present you this crown of worms Surrounding myself with mysery Drawn curtains heavy of my history Exquisite I am, perfect unity On my left hand is false majesty I feign affection, efute the true story Dispute with creation, the lie is my glory I care for no one, my gospel is death For me the light's gone, only darkness is left I present you, I present to you, I present you this crown of worms As black in deed, as cold as stone A commandment of one, as proud as gold As neglected in spirit, as time is old As legion is numbers, as legend is told I am alone, with the agony of truth My power of will, my judgement and chain My end is knowledge and conscience of guilt, My final confusion hidden from me till I'm done |

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight The stage is set, now pay the price An ego boost, don't think twice Technology, the battle's unfair You pull the hammer without a care Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned... The hunt is canned All are gone, all but one No contest, nowhere to run No more left, only one This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare The skin and trophy, oh so rare Silence speaks louder than words Ignore the guilt, and take your turn Liars anagram is "lairs" Man you were never even there Killed a few feet from the cages Point blank, you're so courageous... So courageous All are gone, all but one No contest, nowhere to run No more left, only one This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction One hour from now, another species of life form will disappear off the face of the planet forever...and the rate is accelerating All are gone, all but one No contest, nowhere to run No more left, only one This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction |

You take a mortal man
And put him in control Watch him become a god Watch people's heads a'roll A'roll Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Of destruction Acting like a robot Its metal brain corrodes You try to take its pulse Before the head explodes Explodes Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Of destruction The earth starts to rumble World powers fall A'warring for the heavens A peaceful man stands tall Tall Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Just like the Pied Piper Led rats through the streets We dance like marionettes Swaying to the symphony Of destruction |

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 reckoning 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 |

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 turningback 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 hocked my brains Packed my bags 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 turningback 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 turningback 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 turningback |

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game The more seriously I took things The harder the rules became I had no idea what it'd cost My life passed before my eyes I found out how little I accomplished All my plans denied So as you read this know my friends I'd love to stay with you all Please smile when you think of me My body's gone that's all A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free If my heart was still alive I know it would surely break And my memories left with you There's nothing more to say Moving on is a simple thing What it leaves behind is hard You know the sleeping feel no more pain And the living are scarred A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free So as you read this know my friends I'd love to stay with you all Please smile when you think of me My body's gone that's all A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir These are the last words I'll ever speak And they'll set me free |

Uneasy feeling, Burning out my eyes
I hope the end is less painful than my life I stand on trial before the gods On Judgement day A blink of an eye between The cradle and the grave One last look at visions of flesh The last hope of man on earth Pontius Pilate still washing his hands The world don't want to be saved Only left alone Elysian Fields... We are storming the heavens To raise the swords and shields We ascend to our destiny To the Elysian fields Soaring to the sun With blood upon their wings Superstitious dust left twisting in the wind Man still has one belief One decree that stands alone The laying down of arms I like cancer to their bones |

Again we stalk the stage
At mach speed we engage Feeding people's rage The big cat's left it's cage Back in the bus again To catch another plane This behavior's quite insane But we do it for the fame, yeah I lost my mind, I lost all my money I lost my life to the killing road The road will never end It always starts again Another show's around the bend Another long lost friend Faceless as the snow There's nothing special about the road It's just another haul It's just too damn long that's all, yeah |

Walking stiff let me tell ya
Better left for dead And now we are on a mission Well it's full speed ahead My legion's when we do the crime Let's get one thing straight To get there early is on time And showing up on time is late Ladies and gents, we're still alive By the skin of our teeth, now it's killing time Angel in our pocket, devil by our side We ain't going nowhere 'cuz heroes never die Still alive Blood of heroes Never die They never die We've been run down every hill Chased up all the dead end streets But if you try to cut us out You'll get a kick in the teeth Ladies and gents, we're still alive By the skin of our teeth, now it's killing time Fasten up your head belts, Time to ride the skies It's time to be immortal, 'cuz heroes never die |

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... |

Who'd believe with the way things are here
We'd be going anywhere telling people How to live? Who'd believe we'd spend more Shippin' drugs and guns Than to educate our sons? Sorry but That's what they did I can't help but think, Someone's forsaken you and me Luck deserted me and the truth Beat out my brains Men rise on stepping stones of their Selves to higher things I've stepped over lots of bodies on my way Thanks for the information don't need no More anything We are the damned of all the world With sadness in our hearts The wounded of the wars We've been hung out to dry You didn't want us anyway And now we're making up our minds You tell us how to run our lives We run for youthanasia |

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 |

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 spider's web Suffocating, no one hears my calls Never ending, till the black curtains 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 |

But Nobody's Bying" Ignorant Religion "Holy Wars" and the dying, yeah by the "Skin Of My Teeth" "This Was My Life", "Foreclosure Of My Dreams" May the past "Rust In Peace" In "Hangar 18" And "Countdown To Extinction" Just be a bad dream "Lucretia" said... |

Many centuries ago Came the spawning of Christ And the Antichrist And darkness fell upon our people And the children, they were born faceless Without eyes they could not see Born unto themselves They lived and they died In the Millennium of the Blind |

Joining hands with wicked ones Revelation has come to pass New world order, will hold the mass A book written by the man Used to control and command All rights will be denied Without the mark you shall die No confession, all is known (All is known) New world order, you shall be shown (Shall be shown) Monitoring all wages New world order comes in stages Currency is obsolete Feel the agony of defeat Symbol of society today A must have or you shall pay As humans flesh leads the mind Just as a pawn the last martyr dies No confession, all is known (All is known) New world order, you shall be shown (Shall be shown) Where hath the apostles gone?
