Way down deep in the fire
Way down deep in the flame Way down deep in the hole I dug Way down deep in the pain I'm a flash in your atmosphere Atomic wind blowing into your night Crash and burn, let me make it clear And give 'em just a little light Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you kiss me at rebirth? Will you miss me dead and gone? Gone to scorch the earth Scorch the earth, scorch your brain Scorch your dreams and what remains Scorch the good, scorch the bad The best damn firestorm you ever had Scorch the earth and your brain Scorch your dreams and what remains Scorch the good, scorch the bad The best damn firestorm you ever had Way up there in the heavens Way up beyond the sky Way up there where God looks down Way up where I get high Will you miss me when I'm gone? Will you kiss me at rebirth? Will you miss me dead and gone? Gone to scorch the earth Scorch the earth, scorch your brain Scorch your dreams and what remains Scorch the good, scorch the bad The best damn firestorm you ever had Scorch the earth and your brain Scorch your dreams and what remains Scorch the good, scorch the bad The best damn firestorm you ever had Speak to me in my own tongue Scorch the earth, all the land, my son Hide your face in the veil of shame Keep cracking the whip and bringing the pain Speak to me in my own tongue Scorch the earth, all the land, my son Speak to me in my own tongue Scorch the earth, all the land, my son Scorch the earth, scorch your brain Scorch your dreams, scorch what remains Scorch the good, scorch the bad The best damn firestorm you ever had Scorch the earth and your brain Scorch your dreams and what remains Scorch the good and the bad The best damn firestorm you ever had Scorching the earth Scorching the earth Scorching the earth 02. Goin' Home
Die, the endless death, the price upon your head
In the ranks of the walking dead Fly up to the sun while searching for your soul We thought we never would grow old Wherever you go, wherever you been Whenever you try, whenever you win However you stand, however you fall Wherever you land, take me to die with There a thousand broken pieces from the pound Lost the heart stays underground There a thousand shattered pieces lay face down To close the eyes, already blind, we're going home Rise above the low, that hatred, end the deal Rise above all that you feel And know above all else, from day one if you dare Know I always will be there There, a thousand broken pieces from the pound Lost, the heart stays underground There, a thousand shattered pieces lay face down To close the eyes, already blind, we're going home We're going home We're going home Wherever you go, wherever you've been Whatever you try, whatever you win However you stand, however you fall Wherever you land The suffering To choose the life The suffering To make it right And all of the flashes that light up your night The suffering To choose the life The suffering To make it right There, a thousand broken pieces from the pound Lost, the heart stays underground There, a thousand shattered pieces lay face down To close the eyes, already blind, we're going home We're going home We're going home 03. The Surgeon
Bleeding for the martyr, we were bleeding for the Pope
We were bleeding for the victim, we were bleeding for the dope We were bleeding for the felon as he tried to catch his breath And the motherfucker cried out (Bleed till death) There was blood upon the window, there was blood upon the floor There was blood upon the shaking hand the hand that locked the door We were bleeding for the children as I tried to catch my breath And the motherfucker cries out (Bleed till death) Don't break my concentration, don't break my back in two One steady hand fixation, one cut bleed all over you Don't break my concentration Don't break my back in two I am the surgeon, I am the face of fear I cut your dreams away, and long to hold you near I am the surgeon, I never shed a tear I am the surgeon and I long, I long, long to hold you near We were killing for the people, we were killing for the state We were killing just for killing, and we did it out of hate We were killing for the innocent, the guilty catch their breath Then the motherfucker cries out (Kill till death) There were bodies in the garden, there were bodies on the street There was carnage, beg ya pardon and a body at my feet We were killing for the innocent, the guilty catch their breath Then the motherfucker cries out (Kill till death) Don't break my concentration, don't break my back in two One steady hand fixation, one cut bleed all over you I am the surgeon, I am the face of fear I cut your dreams away, and long to hold you near I am the surgeon, I never shed a tear I am the surgeon and I long, I long, long to hold you near Bleed out in the morning, in the morning air (Bleed out, bleed out) Bleed out in the afternoon, in the evening I don't care (Bleed out) The world stops on its axis, in the face of fear (Bleed out, bleed out) And I can't feel your heartbeat now, when I hold you near (Bleed out) Bleed out, in the morning air (Bleed out, bleed out) Bleed out, in the evening I don't care (Bleed out, bleed out) I am the surgeon, I am the face of fear I cut away your dreams, and long to hold you near I am the surgeon, I never shed a tear I am the surgeon and I long, I long, long to hold you near 04. Twist Of The Wick
As far as the naked eye could see
Laid out right in front of me, make me sick So I twist the wick Then in perfect harmony The universe did swallow me, so quick So I twist the wick Making me sick, moving so quick, time to move on Twist of the wick, twist of the wick Standing tall for one and all And all your dreams come true Behind the wall, the savage call The evil that men do Say it's all over, say it's all right Say it's all over, in the face of fear or flight God bless the hypocrisy The lies in the mouth of lunacy Get a lick So I twist the wick Far from the madding crowd and me Cloaked in plain dishonesty, make it stick So I twist the wick Making me sick, moving so quick, time to move on Twist of the wick, twist of the wick Standing tall for one and all And all your dreams come true Behind the wall, the savage call The evil that men do Say it's all over, say it's all right Say it's all over, in the face of fear In the face of fear or flight Standing tall for one and all And all your dreams come true Behind the wall, the savage call The evil that men do Say it's all over, say it's all right Say it's all over, in the face of fear or flight Twist of the wick Twist of the wick Twist of the wick Twist of the wick, twist of the wick 05. Wicked Place
Good book, handgun, cigarettes, light me up, I'll smoke my fill
Menthol Juliette pirouettes, her arm around me keeps me chill Shakin' like a small block motor mount baby Droolin' on your windowsill Shakin’ like a big block, eight count standin' The injury will likely kill No good solution, when the water's high Just close your eyes and say goodbye Hip flask, hollow point, mountain top, raisin' up my arms to the sky Bloodlust, bureaucrat, pop-pop-pop, with this injury you're likely to die Shakin' like a fat man sittin' in the sauna, feel the sweat runnin' off of my face Shakin' like a small block motor mount baby Welcome to this wicked place No good solution, when the water's high Just close your eyes and say goodbye No good solution, with your sad, sad face Tell me what would bring you To this wicked place Hey, do you recognize the lines across your face Hey, tell me what would bring you to this wicked place Hey, will you hold me back or leave without a trace Hey, tell me what would bring you to this wicked place 06. Won't Be Comin' Back
Can I get another minute with you?
It seems the heart is full of hate and death and war And can I get a little leather to chew? It seems my head is full, my mouth just wants to roar Lightnin' strikin' my barren plane Electric currents run through my brain All for one or naught, a penny for your thoughts Won't be comin' back this way Eat to get your fill, so take now what you will Won't be comin' back this way Hey, I'm flyin' high, into that angry sky I got a feelin' that we won't be comin' back this way Hey, I'm flyin' high, ride up till we die I got a feelin' that we won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back this way And if I had another minute to live I'd wash the seconds down with flight, and I would soar And if I had another two-fucks to give I'd fill the air with sound and sweat from every pore Wrong or rightin' the endless game Steadfast fightin' the scorn, the blame All for one or naught, a penny for your thoughts Won't be comin' back this way Eat to get your fill, so take now what you will Won't be comin' back this way Hey, I'm flyin' high, into that angry sky I got a feelin' that we won't be comin' back this way Yeah, we're flyin' high, ride up till we die I got a feelin' that we won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back this way Hey, I'm flyin' high, into that angry sky I got a feelin' that we won't be comin' back this way Hey, I'm flyin' high, ride up till we die I got a feelin' that we won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back this way Won't be comin' back Won't be comin' back Won't be comin' back Won't be comin' back This way 07. Fever
Hold on, we're coming to save you from yourself
Hold on, we'll be right there, you don't need no one else We'll be there from birth to death, record your first and dying breath Hold on, we're coming, yeah, to save you from yourself Fever Way over the rainbow, you drink poison from the well I feel the chains around my spirit and only time will tell Hold on, we're coming to set your spirit free Hold on, we'll be right there, so you can follow me from yourself Fevеr Far from home illusions, as far as I can tell The voicеs of confusion halt me, send the voices straight to hell Keep your body still while your hands are shakin' Way over the rainbow Keep your pockets full while the man is takin' Keep the chamber full while the shots are rakin' Bangin' on your head while your bones are breakin' Poison from the the well I feel the chains around my spirit And only time will tell 3/12/20, all shot down And I don't know if I believe her Two-thirds money wear the crown And I don't even know I believe it myself We call it fever Fever, fever, fever We call it fever Fever, fever, fever We call it fever 3/13, and shut my mouth As the heat and the sweat deceive her Flies to honey, out the south And I don't even know I believe it myself We call it fever Fever, fever, fever We call it fever Fever, fever, fever We call it fever Hold on, we're coming, hold on, we'll be right there for you Hold on, we're coming, hold on, there's nothing more to do 08. Harder They Fall
Ice water flowing through his veins
Rumor has it that it comes and goes in waves The face of fear, baby, he's your man With evil inside the heart, he does the best he can The best he can And so it goes, he's already dead A monument to the neon red And so it goes to the lost and found And so it goes when he comes around And you want it, you need it You got to, got to, got to, got to have it Harder they come, harder they fall When he comes around, it's always harder they fall Harder they come, harder they fall Here he comes again, and yeah he's hitting the wall Harder they come, harder they fall Saddle up the horseman's reigns Rumor has it that he rides the road he paves He'll be there in a handmade crown He'll be there when it's time to come around, breakdown And so it goes, he is never seen A monument to the neon green And so it goes when you're underground And so it goes when he comes around And you want it, you need it You got to, got to, got to, got to have it Harder they come, harder they fall When he comes around, it's always harder they fall Harder they come, harder they fall Here he comes again, and yeah, he's hitting the wall When he comes around, it's always harder they fall Here he comes again, and now he's hitting the wall Harder they come, harder they fall He wants a table with his back to the door Facing the mirror from the ceiling to floor He wants the window cracked to feel the fresh air He wants to feel like he's the only one there When he comes around When he comes around So it goes, he's already dead A monument to the neon red And so it goes to the lost and found So it goes when he comes around And you want it, got it Got to, got to, got to, got to have it And you want it, you need it Got to, got to, got to, got to have it Harder they come, harder they fall When he comes around, it's always harder they fall Harder they come, harder they fall Here he comes again, and now he's hitting the wall When he comes around, it's always harder they fall Here he comes again, and now he's hitting the wall Harder they come, harder they fall Here he comes again, and now it's harder they fall Harder they fall 09. Know Her Name
Hold me in your loving arms, the powder blast did take away my eyes
Hold me in the bosom of the love I bleed, for she is no surprise I'll wrap my arms around her, squeeze so tight, I'll pop the eyes out of her head I'll wrap my arms around her, squeeze so tight and I won't let go till she's dead Till she's dead Give it just a little more, liberty is out the door If not too much to mention between sanity and blame With all the best intentions, do you know her name? Do you know her name? She absorbs the pain In the coldest cold of all your winters, history remains Do you know her name? Shelter me from danger, from the coldest hearts that wish that we would die Protect me from the wolves, keep them at bay, until the next height of our rise I'll wrap my arms around her, squeeze so tight, till every drop of blood has bled I'll wrap my arms around her, hold her tight until our enemies are dead Till they're dead One, two, three, four, liberty is out the door If not too much to mention between sanity and blame With all the best intentions, do you know her name? Do you know her name? She absorbs the pain In the coldest cold of all your winters, history remains Do you know her name? So sow the seeds of hate The clock strikes half past three The longer that we'll wait The clock strikes half past late So deep inside the fray No matter what they say To fight another day To find another way Find another way If not too much to mention between sanity and blame With all the best intentions, do you know her name? Do you know her name? Do you know her name? Do you know her name? She absorbs the pain Do you know her name? In the coldest cold of all your winters, history remains Do you know her name? 10. Bag O' Bones
Fought across the border wars, fought across our destiny
We shot across the the stratosphere, the thin air bothered me I looked around that whole damn place for somewhere to lay my head Then a man in the hood come shoulder me said, "You wishin' you was dead?" Shake your bag o' bones when nobody's home Shake your bag o' bones and you'll never be alone Move your head with the dancin' dead, get in the game and play Shakе your bones wherevеr you roam, be the one who got away, hey Alright Yeah, shake it Whoa Long way from home wherever you may roam Take along and shake that bag o' bones I packed my shit and headed east where the sun was set to rise They sent me west with all their best no disgrace, compromise I looked around that whole damn place while the sun set on my face Then the man in the hood, come shoulder me, said, "You come for another taste, boy?" Shake your bag o' bones when nobody's home Shake your bag o' bones and you'll never be alone Move your head with the dancin' dead, get in the game and play Shake your bones wherever you roam, be the one who got away, hey Long way from home wherever you may roam Take along and shake that bag o' bones Long way from home and you'll never be alone Take along and shake that bag o' bones Keeping my pace, the long winding road Grab that bag of bones, now shake it Grab that bag of bones, now shake it Sun on my face, the road full of holes Grab that bag of bones, now shake it Grab that bag of bones, now shake it All of his horses, all of his men All of his bones together again All of his bones are together again Shake your bag o' bones when nobody's home Shake your bag o' bones and you'll never be alone Move your head with the dancin' dead, get in the game and play Shake your bones wherever you roam, be the one who got away, hey That's right Shake, shake it Shake, shake Long way from home wherever you may roam Take along and shake that bag o' bones Long way from home and you'll never be alone Take along and shake that bag o' bones Shake Shake it Shake |
