Faith Or Fear - Punishment Area lyrics



Tracks



01. Lack Of Motivation

I don't have the time to sing this fucking song
Ain't got no ideas, can't go fucking wrong
Pressure building up, bullshit going down
At each other's throats, looking for the sound

Lack of motivation no one gives a damn
Try to move ahead, but I don't think I can
There will come a day when we will understand
There will come a day when we'll destroy the band

I cannot make sense of this
Can't understand what the hell it is
First we're up and then we're down
Wish we could decide, decide right now

Yo, what's your fucking problem man?
You're coming in here late every fucking night!
Bad attitude!
And you had your head up your ass for the last six weeks
You better reach around, and get it out of there real fast
Or we're giving you your walking papers
You know where the door is right buddy?
You can hit the road

Lack of motivation no one gives a damn
Try to move ahead, but I don't think I can
There will come a day when we will understand
There will come a day when we'll destroy the band

02. C.D.S.

Deadly substance has you out of control
Just one more step and you're six feet in a hole
Cripples your body and destroys your head
C.D.S. will leave you maimed or dead

Play the game and lets see who wins
If you wanna play, you'll pay for your sins
Fuck around, and you'll soon be admitted
Take a chance and forever in Hell you're committed

C.D.S. You can't tell
Just one shot
Straight to Hell

Deadly substance has you out of control
Just one more step and you're six feet in a hole
Cripples your body and destroys your head
C.D.S. will leave you maimed or dead

Now's the time to make up your mind
Steer in the direction, that will help you to find
There is more, to life than substance abuse
Life is far too short, put what you have to use

Just one shot and you're dead
Life and death will be served
You will face, all the sins you've committed

Just one shot and you're dead
Life and death will be served
Take a chance and you will
Pay with, your life, you'll die

03. Punishment Area

Leaves of green do not exist
Just those condemned to death
Don't complain or shake your fist
Your life is up at best

Warning: You have just entered the punishment area.
Here you will pay for all the anguish you have put others through
During your life here on earth.
There will be no hope and no relief
Only discomforts exists in Hell

You have just entered the Punishment Area
And I promise you will not come back
You cannot depend on me to take care of you
Life as you once knew has turned to:

Darkness fills up my soul
Please help me now, dear God
Free to be, but not to choose
No second chance. Too late

Sin is a price that you must pay
It hears not what you have to say
You are trash. It throws you away
So if you have the deep desire
To spend your afterlife in fire
Do what you wish until you die

Sin is a price that you must pay
It hears not what you have to say
You are trash. It throws you away

04. Rampage / Nothing Uncommon

Yah!

Lots of things in life that I like but I hate you
Seems you only bitch and moan
When there's other things to do you waste my time
Why don't you leave me alone?
The world would be a better place if you were dead
Place the gun up to your head

You can't help the fact that you're so stupid
Every word you say is utter crap
Brainless, senseless, thoughtless common idiot
Why don't you just shut your trap?

Better stay away from me cause I'm not safe
Might reach out and grab your neck
Seems you just don't know, seems you don't understand
You had better take control
Watch your every move, you better watch your step
Someone buries you alive

Brainless, senseless, thoughtless common idiot
Why don't you just shut your trap?
Right now!

05. Have No Fear

They spoke of the end
And when it would happen
It's that time again
This time it's for certain
Like lightning's swift hand
The end will come quickly
No time to prepare
Be sure you dig deeply

Have no fear
Now that the end is near
Have no fear

High order prevails
Now you and I suffer
The curtain's unveiled
No comfort can buffer
Just a push away
And we'll all be history
Darkness rules the day
All pain and misery

Life after death I doubt
All life now is forced out
Now is the time to cope with fear
Nothingness will exist here

Just a push away
And we will be history
Darkness rules the day
Consumed by death and misery

Have...no fear

06. What Would You Expect

The government keeps spending
The country's always lending
Supplies out the ass so they can stab us in the back
The stock market falling, while the corporations are sawing
Employees out like deadwood so the profits can increase

Insurance rates increasing, cost of living shoot straights up
Crime is on the rise and the prisons just erupt
This racist shit still with us, war is surely far from gone
If the summit doesn't do it, we'll all be ash and bone

Corruption in the government
But what would you expect
Some things will never change
And on this you can surely bet
Tell me where we're heading to Hell
As time runs out, in a deadly battle we fight a losing bout

Another child's abducted, what is it with these nuts
Or a hostage used in blackmail, this push has come to shove
The rich keep getting richer and the poor they just die off
If we can't help each other, our time is surely lost

Insurance rates increasing, cost of living shoot straights up
Crime is on the rise and the prisons just erupt
This racist shit still with us, war is surely far from gone
If the summit doesn't do it, we'll all be ash and bone

Destroy the ozone with chemicals
Our food and water get the same
You say you're gonna clean it up now
Your hypocrisy becomes so lame

07. Darkside

It was the birth of my darkside
Uncertainty in the air
Wanting to take a chance
Suppress my fear of the dare

I choose to live a life of pain
Refuse - instead I live insane

Darkside - the violence runs red
The evil curse is everywhere
I'd rather be dead

Darkside - the violence runs red
The evil curse is everywhere
I'd rather be:

Just what I needed
Something to change my life
It makes no difference
How I make up my mind

I choose to live a life of pain
Refuse - instead I live insane

(Dark) Darkness finds its way inside me (Side)
(Dark) Don't think I will ever change (Side)
(Dark) Look outside it's growing darker (Side)
(Dark) A reflection of myself (Side)

(Dark) Darkness finds its way inside me (Side)
(Dark) Don't think I will ever change (Side)
(Dark) Look outside it's growing darker (Side)
(Dark) A reflection of myself (Side)

And now my heart's black
And that's the way it will stay
There's nothing better
There's no other way

I choose to live a life of pain
Refuse - instead I live insane

08. Shadow Knows

Late at night, you hear the footsteps behind you
Is it just imagination, or the devil in disguise?
Deeper in the darkness, don't know what you're getting into
Could it be the apparition, of the fear before your eyes?

Black gates of hell, they burn in fire
Fear wraps its fingers around your neck
Your fight is worse than your desire
To watch the shadows disappear

There in the dark, you're sure there's something lurking
You tell yourself it can't be, don't want to believe
Your fear starts running wild, your heart starts to thrash
Before it gets the best of you, your mind you must bring back

What evil lurks in minds of man?
The Shadow knows
What evil lurks in minds of man?
The Shadow knows
What evil lurks in minds of man?
The Shadow knows
What evil lurks in minds of man?
The Shadow knows
What evil lurks in minds of man?
Yeah, yes - The Shadow knows

Late at night, you hear the footsteps behind you
Is it just imagination, or the devil in disguise?
Deeper in the darkness, don't know what you're getting into
Could it be the apparition, of the fear before your eyes?

09. Ripoffs

He sees you coming and he knows what you've got
He'll take it all
He feels no guilt, he shows no mercy
When he hears the call
Draw his attention and his eyes
Out of his sockets
He zeroes in on the cash
That's in your back pockets

Ripoff has on thing in mind
He'll take off with your cash
Behind your back, he'll rip you blind, as you will find
The ripoff is never kind

Ripoff - Has one thing in mind
Ripoff - Attacks from behind
Ripoff - One thing in mind
Ripoff - Rips you blind

Just when you think you know him well
You realize that you can't tell him apart
The ripoff takes on many forms
He strikes you down and never warns, a thief at heart
Take my advice or pay a heavy price for your ignorance
Pay close attention or you'll be flat broke, no coincidence

Ripoff has on thing in mind
He'll take off with your cash
Behind your back, he'll rip you blind, as you will find
The ripoff is never kind

You die!

With all the money the ripoff makes
The ripoff will do just what it takes
To see that you'll be fooled again
He'll rip you blind until the end

10. Time Bomb

Demented individuals, children of remorse
Lashing out destruction, terror takes its course
Slay their mortal innocence, for they stand in the way
What cannot wait 'til tomorrow will be destroyed today

Time bomb, ticking in your face
Make a sudden move, and watch it blow apart the place
Time bomb, deadly from the start
Believe that the intention is to blow this place apart

Spread the fear, upon other nations
Threatening, increasing frustrations
Acting out of cowardice, it's the only way they can
Explosives give them power, taking lives of other men

Who will bear the cross
Careless sense of loss
All life crushed to dust
Killing fills their lust
Hatred clouds their eyes
Rancid death loud cries

Total annihilation, never ending death
Crushing helpless people, smothering last breaths
Taking lives not given, as if they had control
They're the ones who will decay in Hell's eternal hole
We're given equal power, which we should not abuse
Their self-destructive hatred shall cause the world to lose

11. Instruments Of Death

Welcome to your life a concentration
The Killing has just begun
Another disposable creation, there is no place to run
Electrodes are attached around your body
Needles are injected in your sin
Disrupted life expectancy, no spirit, no soul, no sin

Instruments of death are cutting through your mind
Exposing a disease you thought was hard to find
No one ever said that life would be so kind
With instruments of death

As part of this routine examination
He'll force you to relax and to unwind
Slicing into your imagination
All positive emotions left behind
Behold the deadly doctor's scalpel
As it cuts into your brain
A victim of his worthless anesthesia
You die in pain no gain
