01. Let Us Die

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Oh, what a man
Goes as far as he can
For country and king
Nothing will stop him
Oh, what a man
The master of war
He's coming for more
He's raping your children

Handsome and Brave
He will dig out our Grave
And all the living things
Dies as he's watching
Handsome and brave
His weapon is rape
We cannot escape
He's taking your children

What will they take
When everything's lost?
What will they take
Oh, Everything's Lost!

IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO LIVE
LET US DIE
THERE'S TOO MUCH PAIN TO TAKE IN

We've lost our Homes
To the man on the throne
Victorious king
His gun does the talking
We've lost our homes
Abandon all hope
He's making you choke
Enslaving your children

02. Torn Apart

Music & lyrics by Avatar
We were supposed to
Take on the world
But every day
Pulled us further...
We've gotten used to
Live in a world
That doesn't want us around

Torn apart...

We have outrun you
So many times
But every fight takes
Another...
Been looking through you
Time after time
We have seen through
All your life

Are we
More than just a part?
Are we
Lost right from the start?
Just tell me...

03. Ready For The Ride

Music & lyrics by Avatar
You can say what you want
I know what I am doing
I kinw what has to be done
Don't turn your back
Just keep your eyes on me
Out of your shadow
Right in your face

You can say what you want I know I make you bitter
I know you want me to die
I've went too far
But I'll never be a quitter
You cannot make me
I will not take it

There is but one way to do this
Ready for the ride

You can take what you want
For every time I lose it
I know what has to be won
I'm coming back
You know that I'll bring it
I ride like an outlaw
Right into space

You can take what you want
I know I don't deserve it
I will not wait for my turn
Head for the stars
If you try me I will steal it
No one can change me
I'm going to break it

04. In Napalm

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Keep me in mind
For all of your trials
Keep me forever
Just give me a day in denial

Grant me a wish
Just a mistake
Grant me a fire to love
Make me feel
Before its too late

Bunt
Let me burn
Let me cleanse my soul
Cleanse my soul in napalm

Drown me in sand
For all coming eons
Drown me in sorrow
Just take me back home
Where I came from

Give me a chance
Let me explain
Give me the cure
To the sickness I am
I cant take the strain
Give me a name
Something to save
Give me a meaning
To live with my stains
It cant be too late

All men on deck
Take your stations
I am ready too roll
The countdown has started
I'm out on a mission
I'm going
I'm going home

05. Black Waltz

Music & lyrics by Avatar
I entered the house
On the hill one day
Trying my best just to get away
No one was home
But the voices were clear
They let me know
I was welcome here

Life is so wonderful
Life is so beautiful,
Stay a while
No one gets out alive
Life is so wonderful
Life is so beautiful
Just smile
No one gets out alive

I walked down the halls
Of that haunted place
A whisper was leading me
Through the maze
Promising warmth
Knowing my name
Knowing my reasons
And why I came

A face in a painting
Looked down on me
Smiled at me loving and tenderly
Reached out her hand
Stroking my hair
Suddenly voices were everywhere

06. Blod

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Förbannade jävla idiot!
Har du någon aning
Om vad du ställt till med?
Tusen som faller
Ett kort steg för dig
Men en stor jävla smäll
För hela mänskligheten

Sitter i skitten och undrar
Det är något fel
På dem som beundrar
Du sitter på toppen
Du lever din dröm
Du sänker din yxa
Over den redan dömd

Fan!

Allt är förlorat
Spring för livet
Måste harifran innan gatorna
Dränks i blod! Blod! Blod!

Äckliga jävla parasit!
Kan du inte se vad fan som
Händer?

Städerna brinner
Vi drunknar I lik
Ett tragiskt farval
Till hela mänskligheten

Springer för livet och hoppas
Om vår tid ska komma
Så måste du stoppas
Det smartas att födas
Lindrar att dö
Men vi som vill leva
Står redan i kö så...

07. Let It Burn

Music & lyrics by Avatar
You feel a sudden pain
The night turns bright as day
This shit is going straight
Out of your mind
You start to feel afraid
It is the price you pay
To get the thrill
You need to stay alive

Let it burn!

Between the cuts and cries
You'll find a way to die
Just take a sip
And twist it like a knife
A city full of sound
Too late to turn around
You need to flee the light
To save your life

You like when it hurts?
Let it burn!
Let it burn!

You ain't sure what came first
Was it your flame or thisrt?
You need to please them both
To put you out
Another wasted youth
You thought you'd seen the truth
We need to find a voice
To help you shout

I like when it hurts!
Let it burn!

08. One Touch

Music & lyrics by Avatar
A new nightmare
Is born and nurtured
To each a hell of hIs own
A new order
It pulls us under
Why are you turning so cold?
No one, nowwhere
Theres nothing out there
To each some pain of his own
Cant remember
How did I get here?
Why am I turning so colt?

One touch...
It's so cold and silent
Why can't I stop from falling

In closed quarters
We'll spend our future
An apocalypse of our own
Its all empty
Theres nothing left here
Why are we turning so cold?

09. Paint Me Red

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Little Miss J likes to fuck
Like in a painting
Destroying fine art
Little Miss J isnt quite like
Other girls at all
Little Miss J puts her soul
Inside a letter
Destroying fine art
She is hurting herself so bad
Destrying, destroy

Picture perfect
Picture black

Little Miss J
Can I come in and play?
Cut my skin
Make me perfect
Paint me red
Another dark day
Can you help me Miss J?
Cut my skin
Make me perfect
Paint me red

Little Miss J has a certain
Taste for chaos
Destrying fine art
Little Miss J always tends
To find a way to fall
Little Miss J cannot take
The shit shes given
Destroying fine art
She is fading away so fast
Destroying, destroy

Picture Perfect
Picture Black

Little Miss J
Can I come in and play?
Cut my skin
Make me perfect
Paint me red
Another dark day
Can you help me Miss J?
Cut my skin
Make me perfect
Paint me red

Running out of colors
Running out of light
I run
I run
Running out of time
Running out of here
Running out of sight
Running out of fear
I run
I run as fast as I can

10. Smells Like A Freakshow

Music & lyrics by Avatar
Smells like a freak show
Right where I want to be
Come taste the dirt
I...
I smell a freak show
There's something wrong with me
Want it to hurt
I...

I need something to sedate me
But I can't afford the high
Give me something
To help me escape
Smells like a freak show

God in a casket
Gone for eternities
We've got no rules
No rules

I...
God in a casket
Lost all authority
Come watch the fools
The fools, the folls
I...

11. Use Your Tongue

Music & lyrics by Avatar
No sleep for you
TIme to wake up
Good morning
Rise and shine

Getting ready for the enemy
Its the calm before the storm
Hate your neighbour,
Love you enemy
Use your tongue
To clean her wounds
