02. Something To Cry About
Something
To Cry About Pictures of Innocence, Raped & Polluted By another man's pain Thin broken lips,not able to speak Only softly ask,"Why?" Big eyes blackened,not having yet seen Visions of the parent's rage, rage Fear fills a young child's heart Memories of love lost in the dark Tears cloud his eyes Bruises he tries to hide Don't ask no questions You'll get no answers, Why?, Why?, Why? He doesn't understand No he doesn't understand Pictures of innocence,raped & polluted By another man's pain Thin broken lips not able to speak Only softly ask, "Why?" Big eyes blackened not having yet seen Memories of love lost in the dark Tears cloud his eyes Bruises he tries to hide Don't ask no questions You'll get no answers, Why?, Why?, Why? He doesn't understand He doesn't understand No he doesn't understand Something To Cry About He doesn't understand 03. Seat Of Power
Welcome
To my world I have done it all for you Don't you think It is most powerful-Yes Complete control Is the key to success Absolute In the most divine sense Seat of Power...Seat of Pain Tears for pleasure...Tears Like Rain Infinite lives...Lives are lost Too Fucking bad...That's the cost The price you pay Satisfaction for social decay That's the trade the trade we've made The Seat of Power is carved of hate Born of hate, greed & mistrust Child of my semen & Mother Earth's dust Accept this Kingdom Hell I leave to you Either way your future's decided for you The Seat of Power It's a Legacy Seat of Power The Seat of Power Welcome to my fucking world Don't you think it is most powerful-Yes Complete control is the key to success Absolute in the most divine sense Seat of Power...Seat of Pain Tears for Pleasure...Tears like rain Infinite lives...Lives are lost Too fucking bad 04. Prolonged Agony / Ricky
Legs blown off he's got gangrene
They keep him alive on a machine Prays for death every day But the doctors won't let him have his way He says in A pain-filled breath If you must give Please give death Eaten away from the inside A pain so bad she can't hide Her body is filled with a disease Always suffering never at ease Prays for death Under the knife No more of this Force fed life Prolonged Agony Prolonged Agony Never wanted to be confined to a bed Said he would rather wind up dead Dreams of a day when he'll be free When he'll be out of his misery Ricky robbed graves, Ricky was a teenage ghoul Rick & his friends thought worshipping the devil was cool Play with the Devil, You're gonna get burned Go into the woods with Ricky & never return Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Underneath skies filled with hate That's where Gary met his fate Underneath skies filled with rain His body was a monument to Ricky's pain Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky Lives, Satan Gives, Ricky Lives, Dead or Alive Ricky's parents probably asked themselves "Why?" Why was it their son wanted to fucking die Ricky made his life a living hell His final offering was himself hanging in his cell 05. The Search
The answers you seek are inside yourself!
Searching for a little sanity Not too impressed with this world's humanity Looking within for my own reality Can't help the world with out being whole myself Got to know the questions Before you can find the answers Sick of the preaching brainwashing disease Not gonna let the pain bring me to my knees The answers for usare within you & me The answers you seek Look where you'd expect the least Inside youself Ask yourself the questions you're afraid to hear It's not as bad as you fear Know self truth Don't accept self deception Can't blame it on your youth Defy natural inclination Accept the task of breaking the chain Searching for a little sanity Not too impressed with this world's humanity Looking within for my own reality Can't help the world with out being whole myself Got to know the questions Before you can find the answers Sick of the preaching,brainwashing disease Not gonna let the pain bring me to my knees The answers for us are within you & me The answers you seek Look where you'd expect the laest Inside yourself Ask yourself the questions you're afraid to hear Time, Spirit, Listen Learn Time, Spirit, Listen, Learn Hate, Fear, Pride, Pain Got to throw these things away Love, Courage, Health, Peace For these things we need tp pray 06. Awake!
You don't fear no evil
If you got faith in yourself Twentieth century Charms and icons will do you no good Wealth and reputation It's all an image, it's all a lie Won't save our planet from doom Don't add to the power, to the destructive ability of the Time bomb our world has become To conform for the sake of compliance is like a knife Plunged deep into the heart of humanity When children have become Dealers of flesh and poison Selling their bodies, pawning their souls Victims of the existence When obscenity becomes the norm ... Awake Sit in your homes Think what a shame In front of your TV's You're as much to blame Take some action It's the only way When obscenity becomes the norm ... Awake This is not, not a dream - reality This is reality, believe what you've seen - what you see The time to act, to act is right now - right now Is the time for you an i to get together For you and i, for you and i to work together This is our world, where is the future ? Awake This is our world, we are the future awake This is our world, where is the future ? Awake This is our world, we are the future awake ... To the fact that something must be done and we are the ones Who first must, first must come awake You don't fear no evil If you got faith in yourself Twentieth century Charms and icons will do you no good Wealth and reputation It's all an image, it's all a lie Won''t save our planet from doom Don''t add to the power, to the destructive ability of the Time bomb our world has become Sit in your homes Think what a shame In front of your TV's You're as much to blame Take some action It's the only way When obscenity becomes the norm ... Awake To conform for the sake of compliance is like a knife Plunged deep into the heart of humanity When children have become Dealers of flesh and poison Selling their bodies, pawning their souls Victims of the existence Awake This is our world, where is the future? This is our world, we are the future This is our world, where is the future? This is our world, we are the future 07. Under Lock And Key
Minds are kept under lock and key
Isolated - afraid of what we might see Don't want to think of what it might cost Or all we've lost Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Set our course forward straight and narrow Tunnel vision self - imposed security Ignore the warnings of what it might bring Or what we've seen Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate In my mind the question burns All our mistakes yet we never learn Won't face the truth, won't face the facts Instead of forward we've gone back Going through life with blinders on Eyes are shut to the things we've done Minds are closed to the things we fear In the darkness they've drawn near Minds are kept under lock and key Isolated - afraid of what we might see Don't want to think of what it might cost Or all we've lost Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Set our course forward straight and narrow Tunnel vision self - imposed security Ignore the warnings of what it might bring Or what we've seen Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Mistake, our mistake Ignorance, apathy and hate Fear in our eyes that we can't hide Troubled life, a life of lies Tortured souls minds cry for release Not this time there's no reprieve In my mind the question burns All our mistakes yet we never learn Won't face the truth, won't face the facts Instead of forward we've gone back Sin after sin we forge on Things once cherished, now they're gone 08. Emotional Blackmail
I need your money, you'll send it to me
That's all I hear on the TV. Money is needed to say on the air So take out those checks and show you care They tell you what you want to hear Don't be so blind, it's all so clear It's all the same everywhere I look Twisting the words from the holy book Emotional blackmail Bleeding you dry Emotional blackmail Filled with lies Translate the meaning to fit their need Using you to satisfy their greed I can't believe you follow along Why can''t you see what they're doing is wrong Taking your money is their goal How can you believe these assholes? Jerry falwell, p.t.l. You're the ones who'll burn in hell How much, how much will it cost me? I gave, I gave and I am not free Lies, all lies I have been deceived If there's a god as we are told I don't think he can be bought or sold Money won't keep you out of hell I don't think god's for sale How much, how much to rid me of my sins? How much, how much so I can be cleansed? I gave, I gave Got nothing in return Lies, all lies I got fucking furned If there's a god as we are told I don't think he can be bought or sold Money won't keep you out of hell I don't think god's for sale Emotional blackmail Bleeding you dry Emotional blackmail Filled with lies Emotional blackmail Bleeding you dry Emotional blackmail Filled with lies Open your eyes 09. Warsaw
Man come to power with evil in his eyes
His hatred for a people he vowed to see die Locked them up forever but not in a cell No, he put these people in a living hell Sealed off a section and threw them in Like throwing Christians into the lion's den The smell of death from bodies on the ground City of the dead People left to die Warsaw - no more Why? Forced to live behind a wall beaten and abused Forced to live in filth wrongly accused Crowded together, given no choice Force to live like animals given no voice Heavily armed guards placed to keep control Making sure the people stayed in their hell hole People pass their loved ones by on the street Loved ones now decayed and rotting meat City of the dead People left to die Warsaw - no more Why? Death is no stranger It rears its ugly head Death is no stranger Just count all their dead Man came to power with evil in his eyes His hatred for a people he vowed to see die Lock'em them up forever but not in a cell No, me put these people in a living hell Sealed of a section and threw them in Like throwing Christians into the lion's den The smell of death lingers all around The smell of death from bodies on the ground City of the dead People left to die Warsaw - no more Why? 10. Died Young
No more, he couldn't take anymore
Slit his wrist, blood on the floor A writer who wrote down his thoughts Told about life and how he fought Used blood instead of ink Left his pen, a razor, in the sink Too great, the pressure was too great Needed help but now its too late Died young, died young, died young, died young High on drugs and alcohol Smashed her car into a wall A girl who had gone astray Needed guidance to show the away Living too fast, living on the edge Playing with death, walking a ledge No one there in the time of need Killed herself living on speed Died young, died young, died young, died young It's so sad, it happens all the time So many people walk that line A suicide every day of the week Another young mind put to sleep The answers must be out there somewhere Take the time and show we care Where to begin, where to start The place to start is in our hearts No more, he couldn't take anymore Slit his wrist, blood on the floor A writer who write down his thoughts Told about life and how he fought Used blood instead of ink Left his pen, a razor, in the sink Too great, the pressure was too great Needed help but now its too late Died young, died young, died young, died young 11. Circus Of Horrors / Civilized
No... No, no, no!
I've got something to say and you will listen Gonna state my mind, state my position Great white hunters, guns to their sides Trigger happy bastards gunning for their hides The destruction of life to satisfy their pride Butchers on the hunt, the ones who kill for pay Slaughtering helpless animals after day The ones who kill for profit, the pelts that make them rich To satisfy the wants of some self-righteous bitch Killing of the innocent, the destruction of their lives Done nothing wrong, just trying to survive Animals are killed solely for their skins While we sit back and watch it happen again Civilized - that's what we're called Civilized - no, not at all How can we make such a claim When to us killing's game ? Bragging at the office about the ones they've killed Glowing, thinking about all the blood they've spilled See the gleam deep within their eyes Satisfied that something has died Civilized - that's what we've called Civilized - no, not at all How can we make such a claim When to us killing's game ? No - it's got to stop When will it end Can't turn away And sit back We call ourselves civilized How can we be civilized No way we are civilized Who dares say we are We call ourselves civilized How can we be civilized No way we are civilized Who dares say we are No - what have we done ? What have we become ? Can't believe my eyes No, no more lies We can't go on the way we have, it's time to turn around Because of us all the dead lie scattered across the ground We call ourselves civilized How can we be civilized No way we are civilized Who dares say we are... |
