You work so fucking hard to achieve your ideal in the time that you've allowed,
but no the guarantee didn't hold up, swallow hard bite back the fear.
It's always been this way, you just deceive yourself into thinking everything is fine.
Cut your wrists watch them bleed a drop for every promise you can't keep.

You're a loser not a winner, you were born to lose.
Them that has gets and you've got nothing you're a loser not a winner.
It's always been this way, nothing ever changes.

It's always been this way, you just deceive yourself into thinking everything is fine.

You're a loser not a winner, you were born to lose.
Them that has gets and you've got nothing you're a loser not a winner.
It's always been this way, nothing ever changes.

Nations untrustworthy, room filled with gasoline.
2 men striking matches so they can see.
They raise their guns and dare each other play a game of death.
We call it Russian Roulette.

One chance is all you get.
Chambers loaded you got the hammer cocked.
Barrels at your head, a prayer's what you've got.
Détente is undermined by the savages who lead us blind, towards Armageddon or worse.

Russian Roulette.

One chance is all you get

Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette

One chance is all you get

Russian Roulette

Born into a class structure, rich man or slave at his feet.
Bystander or maker of crime killing in war or doing time.
The elders who possess the power build areals in defense,
You pay the price for their fears their memories they won't forget.

It's your fate, you don't decide,
It's your fate, struggle just to survive.

No hope, no hope for you who come from the slums
The verdict in long before the first breath filled your lungs.
Tomorrow you'll rise look around you wonder why.
All you see in decay fate has not been kind.

It's your fate, you don't decide,
It's your fate, struggle just to survive.

Tomorrow you'll rise look around you wonder why.
All you see in decay fate has not been kind.

It's your fate, you don't decide,
It's your fate, struggle just to survive.
It's your fate, you don't decide,

Suicidal bomber dying for a cause, and the life you're losing
it's well worth the price
You're on a mission for your god
and the innocents you take with you are examples for us all

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near
She takes her last breath
Then you unfold your leader's picture, show him what you've done
Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near
She takes her last breath
Then you unfold your leader's picture, show him what you've done
Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one

Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for
Holy war, holy war. You keep on dying, you don't know who it's for
Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

[Instrumental]

The giant fears that creep upon you as you gaze with open eyes
At the world that surrounds you, hollow shells of faded dreams
Somewhere close I feel your breath and somewhere I sense death
What I felt for you last night is dying with the morning light
Shattered illusions makes me confused
Shattered illusions

The smog thickens over your head
You're standing, watching the years trickle by too soon
Things won't fit into place right before they're inside
You don't wanna join the ratrace, thing are getting harder to
Shattered illusions makes me confused
Shattered illusions
Shattered illusions

Start making every scene searching every bar
You're working on another scheme, illusion takes you but how far
Somewhere close I feel your breath and somewhere I sense death
What I felt for you last night is dying with the morning light
Shattered illusions makes me confused
Shattered illusions
Shattered illusions makes me confused
Shattered illusions
It's not supposed to be this way!

Deceived by false hopes into thinking there was something more
I've left what matters slips away.
Like grains of sand falling through my hands.
All tomorrows are yesterdays.

No one really cares
They're just out to survive, and if you find it hard to believe
You're the one who's living a lie.

Oh yes, my life is pain, all was taken that I gave.
Left were only broken promises.
All tomorrows are yesterdays.

No one really cares
They're just out to survive, and if you find it hard to believe
You're the one who's living a lie.

Can't you see you're wasting time.
Believing in a better day that never comes,
And all the prayers that you pray
Won't change tomorrows from yesterdays.

No one really cares
They're just out to survive, and if you find it hard to believe
You're the one who's living a lie.

Death to our false love we live only to be gratified.
Raise the sword high strike us down.

You don't know me, I owe you not a thing
Yet you believe it's your right to take it all
Wanting a slave you can devour
I should fulfill your need
Not on your life!

Abuse me, exploit me
Thick and red the blood I bleed
Dominate, defile me
Drink it down, the blood I bleed

Drill in my mind little girls are tolerated
Often used, despised and hate
Gonna rot alone in their middle ages
Kept in line must control their rages

I see you've moved to another key holder
One's gonna treat you much better
He gives you strong advice about your life, girl
Now that lover you trust and believe in has got you in a corner charging a fee, yeah

I rip the flesh from you bones
I laugh as I watch it fall away
The blood from your veins falls like a shower
This passion you want to control

Abuse me, exploit me
Abuse me, exploit me
Abuse me, exploit me
Abuse me, exploit me
Thick and red the blood I bleed
Dominate, defile me
Drink it down, the blood I bleed
Drink it down, the blood I bleed

I the judge and the jury.
I deliver the sentence.
You who've not seen the light of day, shall die before you awaken.

There is no force in my life that I cannot control.
I have your seed, I spit it on the ground,
I will not reap what you've sown.

On the widows walk he waits for thee,
On the widows walk I call your name.

I'll give to you what you gave to me, a term of confusion and pain.
I stand alone await your return,
I have nothing to gain.

I'll give to you what you gave to me, a term of confusion and pain.
I stand alone await your return,
I have nothing to gain.

On the widows walk I wait for thee,
You can change fates decree on the widows walk I wait for thee.

Can't you see we don't care about you?
Can't you see we don't want your kind?
We give you weapons to kill each other
Can't you see, or are you blind?

Vultures in the sky, flying overhead
Vultures in the sky looking for the dead
Vultures in your sky

You're doing just what we want you to do
Killing off your population
We've got you by your stupid pride
Rewarding it with frustration

Vultures in the sky, flying overhead
Vultures in the sky looking for the dead
Vultures in the sky, flying overhead
Vultures in the sky, they're looking for the dead

Vultures in the sky
