Murder, death, pain
Tears of frustration Danger lurking everywhere Destroying our nation Problems everyday Generate forever Anxiety's steady note Is now a screech of terror Child alcoholics Fathers raping daughters Madness in the family Illness and disorders Medicine that kills Food that cuts the throat Innocent people murdered While malicious madmen gloat Child alcoholics Fathers raping daughters Madness in the family Illness and disorders Medicine that kills Food that cuts the throat Innocent people murdered While malicious madmen gloat Panic invades the safety of our home Shiver 'neath your covers You feel you're not alone Images of fear cause an icy frission Chilled to the bone by a bloody vision Panic invades the safety of our home Shiver 'neath your covers You feel you're not alone Images of fear cause an icy frission Chilled to the bone by a bloody vision It seems the world has gone mad Value of life distorted Murder, death, pain, rape, and drugs Are the things the papers have reported Breakout, breakout Breakout, hell on earth Breakout, breakout Breakout, (from this) hell on earth Evil abounds but we can surely flee No need to live under the dread of a sick society Rebuking what is vile, living in the light Protection from destruction We're always in his sight Protection from destruction That wasteth at noonday Man may kill the body The soul he can't take away Safety in the refuge At the right hand we must fall And those who wage against us Shall be nothing at all, at all Breakout! 02. Jimmies Dream
Jimmy was a typical regular guy
Never contemplating what might happen if he died People tried to tell him but all he did was sighed They walked away without guilt Knowing that they tried Life was going smooth Everything seems really cool Working on the weekends Doing good in school Jimmy had no problems He had money, he had health No need for nothing Nothing but himself Then one night he had a strange dream Images so vivid it could have been reality An ugly head was raised Jim let out a scream I'm glad I wasn't there It would have got the best of me Then one night he had a strange dream Images so vivid it could have been reality An ugly head was raised Jim let out a scream I'm glad I wasn't there It would have got the best of me Then it all started and the chase began His neck was within inches Of the deadly clutching hand Tossing and turning, all to no avail Once you think you've lost the beast He's racing down, racing down your trail Feet feeling heavy Eyes stung with sweat Darkness approaching Traps of death have been set Feet feeling heavy Eyes stung with sweat Darkness approaching Traps of death have been set What a bitch His dream became real No one was around Who might care now? He would feel His bed became a sweaty Sweaty place of death His fate had been decided Long before his dying breath What a bitch His dream became real No one was around Who might care now? He would feel His bed became a sweaty Sweaty place of death His fate had been decided Long before his dying breath No, it's not a dream Don't even waste your breath With those screams "Jimmy!" Mom calls out of bed Jimmy can't hear you, Ma Jimmy's dead! 03. Charge
Eighteen and eight was the date that the match was to begin
The king had said, "The princess will wed the worthy knight that wins" Yes, a princess, a virgin maid, one day she will be queen And now two men chance to join her as others only dream Both know the risk at hand; both men feel it's worth the prize To join the creed which rules the land and claim the beauty as their bride Horns shall sound, hooves will pound Fear fills each man's head "Triumph mine or I may wind Yes, I may wind up dead!" I'm the master of a fine brigade, hoping to join the noble line One day spread joy through this land and detach what is malign And the other man thinks to himself "It is I who shall reign today, Smite the king, take his seat and forever have my way" Horns shall sound, hooves will pound Fear fills each man's head "Triumph mine or I may wind Yes, I may wind up dead!" Charge - the time's at hand I've the chance to rule the land Charge - Reward of power Outcome known within the hour Charge - The crowd shall see I will gain nobility Charge - The lance shall tell Potentate or bid farewell A thrust in fury Determination mixed with fear A lunge too far to the left The lance slices the air Relief dwells upon each man Sweat drips 'neath steel armature There is no doubt the match goes on Hooves shall fly once more Charge! 04. Initial Shock
[Instrumental]
05. I Am He
House of God burnt to the ground
Many feel it's for the best Associates of the holy one Cannot put their lust to rest Contamination of the pure People cringe at the sound Glory turns into shame Obstructions block the glory bound Hypocrite, what have you done? Threaten lives of everyone Mortal man claims messiah Saying "I am He" Wolf in sheep's clothing Deadly with deceit Mortal man claims messiah Saying "I am He" Wolf in sheep's clothing Deadly with deceit Why?did I believe? Ears deafened to the call False prophet claims the fall Foolish men prophesize With visions, visions in their eyes Wayward child full of lies Leads the weak to their demise Foolish men prophesize With visions, visions in their eyes Hypocrite, what have you done? Threaten lives of everyone Messiah I am He I'm deadly with deceit No image to be seen I am He 06. The Connection
Young and innocent, unknowing and naïve
This is the perfect target for her to deceive Instilling such a fear, destroying young perception Creating the connection between women and deception Something in those? Told me you would? She always leaves her mark Her plan works out so well She takes you by the hand And drags you through her hell Something in those eyes! At the start it seemed so perfect It felt like a dream But time reveals those hidden defects She wasn't quite as cool as she first seemed Her hug becomes a strange hold And eyes of blue turned hard and cold A hand to hold was hard to find The sweetest smile hid the evil mind Got a hunger for a feeling Are you capable of a warm embrace? Close my eyes, you're not Concentrate and rearrange your face Got a need you can feed My hated lover, I feel so out of place You produce and I consume But love, well babe, not a trace Those eyes?kill me Your eyes?kill me When you're screaming and complaining I've got the power to change the mood Gonna bring you down, make you rise above Got the motions, just don't got the love Those eyes?kill me Your eyes?kill me I'm not strong, just broken hearted Memories last so long Still the same since she's departed Some say, "Time heals wounds" Well, I'm still bleeding They're full of shit So much time has passed But this pain just won't quit Got to meet you once more So you'll realize Just what you have created As I kill you with these eyes 07. Rejuvenate
Today's a new day
Time to put the plan to work Generate the new way I hope it works Gotta kick the habit Put the old man to rest Worldliness, well I've had it Think you're getting more But you're getting less Got to take your problems Drop them in the sea The charges are behind you You've done the time And now you're free People try to bring us down We don't need their kind around Rejuvenation can still be found Don't need no one to keep you tied Or keep you bound Start today, it's not too late - Rejuvenate Make a change, no time to wait - Rejuvenate No big deal, you made a few wrong moves - Try again Don't give up, things'll start to groove - Try again Right Now! Again problems start coming down Deal with one and another one's found Back in the ring for another round You knew it was coming You knock it down, knock it down Again problems start coming down Deal with one and another one's found Back in the ring for another round You knew it was coming You knock it down Rejuvenation today Do it now! 08. Remembering Tomorrow
In the beginning there was beauty
Untouched by hands of men Those days were so long ago Today no one remembers when Destruction devised by those in control They'll be long gone and we'll pay the toll Consciousness void, lives are at stake Ignoring the risks, it's a chance they take Toxins splash in our face Catalystic vehicle quickens the pace Balance corrupted claim to leap ahead No place goes uncorrupted Respect for life is dead Elements tampered with, justified by science Little man denying God, driven with defiance Man confides in man, believing he's efficient The time will come when all is done We'll find he's insufficient Fools conducting nuclear testing It's our children they're molesting Arrogance is evident it's seen in our ways Destroy the natural flow Ignorance on display How can we call this progress at all! Living lives just to please themselves Committing crimes to increase their wealth This is greed in its worth state Who are they to play with our fate? Death and pain coming from all sides Love and peace never crossed their minds Metal machinery seems to be jammed Devastating mishap, a cog in the plan Testing this, testing that, surely leave our mark Man is in control, these ages are dark! 09. Beast On My Back
I've made a few mistakes
Don't think I'll ever live them down I'm a prisoner of guilt To my past forever bound To follow the straight and narrow was always on my mind But I let my guard down, I tripped the line Never ever thought I would take a fall Didn't think it would happen, no I was too strong Forever haunted by a beast on my back Deceitful temptation, a planned attack I'm a victim of the evil one Can't turn around, live my life on the turn My mind's plagued with guilt 'Til the day I die I want to live a better life Believe me I try Prayed that the past would soon disappear No matter how hard I try My memory is clear The wicked law prevails Intentions have turned sour Intensity of evil grows Stronger by the hour Once again I've lost my balance And stumbled to the ground Will I ever be free? How long shall I be bound? I despise the vice I worship Hope it's not too late A weak and spineless victim Doing what I hate Temptations - seize me and I become a slave Succumbing - to human nature No man can save me! Beast on my back In agony I dwell Beast on my back This is a living hell I've felt this way before So empty inside Trust the promises of the world To find out that they've lied The nightmare is now over The scars shall never fade Etched into my memory Are the mistakes that I have made What a wretched being Such unease! Trapped within this shell of death Rescue me! Alas! The spirit of life Freed from sin! The fight is not yet over But we'll win! Win! |
