Tracks



01. Clown Parade

One by one, the fools suck you in
Like many others before
No guilty conscience, just another sin
They're truly rotten to the core

Contracts with criminal intent
Spelling out the things they're gonna do
Liars, taking back their word
Draining the life right out of you

Over and over, they do it again
A network of thieves try to bring you an end
Never believe any promises made
Look at the crooks, they're the clowns on parade

Paid for the service
Signed the dotted line
But then get nothing in return
Result, I'm sinking and running out of time
Response, it's none of my concern
When you're exposed
The first reaction, defend it with another lie
Attempted character assasination
You cannot kill me but you try

Payback is mine
You tried to make a mockery
It's payback time
A failed attempt to bring an end to me

Two-faced, these sad little people, enjoy the spotlight while you can
Disrespecting, those who you decieve, you're just a flash in the pan
Evil, to take you for a ride, then try to damage all you've got
Pure scum and headed for a fall, karma will catch up and then you'll rot

02. Couple Suicide

We can make it something
But both know that there's nothing
It's like couple suicide, it's not going right
We ain't got no feelings, so why don't we stop dreaming
Shake it up a little bit to sleep a little better at night

We had to take two steps back, just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out
We had to take two steps back just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out
And I know you know it too

And we can make it something
But both know that there's nothing
It's like couple suicide, it's not going right
We ain't got no feelings, so why don't we stop dreaming
Shake it up a little bit to sleep a little better at night

We had to take two steps back, just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out
We had to take two steps back just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out

And I know that you know too
You know I know you do
Now what we gonna do about it
What we gonna do

When you said goodbye you can't say I didn't try
To make it all better
Something had a hold on me and I couldn't see
But now I can and now I know I'm free

We had to take two steps back, just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out
We had to take two steps back, just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out
We had to take two steps back, just to make it something
Get back the thing that lacked, the fact it's never gonna work out

You know I know you do
And the only way to end this thing
Is if we drive it six feet underground

03. Army Of One

Just one big family
Been around since the 1980's

Old school, we're livin in the past
They said it would never last

A few dozen of the strong survived
On a mission, to keep it alive

Hell bent, ignoring the trend
While many pretend

We stand united for something we believe in
We are the army of one
It's in our blood, this is our life
It's why we're breathing
We are the army of one

Anthrax and Motorhead
Exodus, Slayer, bang your head

Dedication when the going got through
Was never enough

Priest, Metallica, Megadeth
Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath

They tried to kill it
Force it underground
You can't take it down

Volume blasting
Drums are crashing
The guitar is screaming
Never give it up, never givin up
Right to the end
Sacrificing, no compromising
Is what we're bringing
Never give it up, never givin up
Fight to the end

04. Downright Dominate

A reign, invincible
Sitting right at the top
A domination
Something you just can't stop

Face the opponent
Take em down one by one
Take no prisonners
Game over before it's won

Downright dominate
Downright dominate
Must annihilate
Downright dominate

Feel the rush
The adrenaline kicking in
Resolution
A fight to the death, begin

Breathing power
Gotta unleash the beast
It's time to devour
And you are the feast

Forcing the action, bring on the attack
Everything now in position
Showing no mercy, treasure the moment
Beating you into submission

Resistance is futile, dealing the pain
Over and over again
Fall to your knees, you can beg if you please
Now you are facing the end

Beaten, conquered
Never the end in doubt
Defend the crown
The king has cast you out

05. Smothered

I can't tell, I think I might be going crazy
Just wanna leave it all behind
Been on the brink for many years, I'm thinkin
Feels like I'm running out of time

I"m getting sick and tired, giving everything
I've got, I get nothing in return
I can't breathe

This never-ending madness, raining down on me
Like a ton of bricks, face in the dirt

Childish delusions, they say it's just a fantasy
You're no good, no chance, you'll never learn
Just give it up and come back to reality
Your dreams are none of my concern

You're nor skinny enough
You're too fat
You're not good enough
You're too tall, you're too short
You're too average
Your skin is not the right color
Sorry, not good enough

You don't speak the right language
You're not smart enough
You should be ashamed of yourself
You're nothing but a loser
No wonder you get no respect
Because you deserve no respect
You'll never succeed, so don't bother trying
Give it up, give up your dreams

Lined up, one by one
They try to bring you down
Don't ever listen what they say
Determination, the battle will be won
And all the pain will go away

06. Operation Annihilation

You tried so hard to break me
To make me bend
But I have stood the test of time

Well I've had a taste of glory
And I've seen the hell below
It's time for me to take what's mine

Targed acquired
We open fire
This operation
Annihilation

So many come and go
They're changing like the wind
A product from a factory

Well I've only got one mission
And I will stand my ground
Something called integrity

This is a retribution
This is my revenge
This is a resolution
Commited 'til the end

I stand here in my silence
Content, my soul at rest
This is what I do it for

But to the leeches
The liars and the thieves
Just know I always win the war

07. Haunted

Locked away, sentence insanity
Living out this hell from year to year
So many voices down the hallway
Screaming out in paralyzing fear

Tell me why I suffer
Tell me why I'm here
I am haunted
Demons in the darkness
Just make em disappear
I am haunted

White coats surround me, they inject anxiety
Nothing but a memory
Bright lights above, so fascinating
Is that a scalpel coming for me

I am the light, I am the way
Just reach out and touch me
Come take my hand, you'll understand
You know you can trust me

Come back to me, come back to me
Just follow the bright white light
I feel no pain, but it's not the same
Something is just not right

Waking up, what the hell have you done to me
Blackened figures roam about the room
I cannot breathe, I'm sliding underground
They've buried me in my own tomb

08. Kicked

Kicked, dropping to the knees
Face-first into the dirt
Betrayed, a stab in the back
Everything is now on alert

Wounded, sense the blood
Like a jackal movin in for the kill
Stealing is nothing to you
It's just a part ot the drill

Beware the Judas
He'll drag you down
A deal with the devil
Can put you underground

Target, preying on the weak
Taking and abusing the trust
Ruthless and morally bankrupt
Your word is left in the dust

Liar, nothing but a thief
Sell them everything that you got
A master of friendly deceit
No one's gonna care when you rot

If you leave, I'll take it all away
No one's gonna believe a word you say

Just another promise broken
No exception to your rule
I'm sick and tired of being taken
And played for the fool

Stronger than ever before
Now you are the one in the dirt
Sentenced, incarcerated
Paying for the pain and the hurt

Breaking, you're falling to pieces
Ripping at the seams
Victims, we're coming to haunt you
In your dreams

09. Detonation

Another day, the same old story
There's nothing left to do
Watching life go by without me
I sit here in my room
All alone I pray for something
To get me out of here
I talked to God, I talked to Jesus
They told me what to fear

I've got this burning feeling
Building up inside
There ain't no way to stop in overdrive

Detonation

I'm going to set this place on fire
It's time to lose control
I'm going to be alive for once
And satisfy my soul

I'm okay, give me a chance to breathe
Just give me a chance to breathe
The world's insane
Look what you're doing to me
Just look what you've done to me

10. Chasing The High

Waking up to face another nightmare day
Blood drips from the mouth, my teeth decay
Deep depression is coming on fast
Got to get me my crystal breakfast

High, chasing the high
Die, chasing the high

High anxiety, panic setting in
Will do anything to get the sin
Sunlight burning my eyes gotta fill the need
Methamphetamine, it's time to feed

Dyin to feast
The monster is fed
Call for the priest
One more is dead

The chemical injection, rushing through the vein
Speeding up the system and burning up the brain
Powered and invincible, the pain is at an end
High above, so beautiful, the demon rides again

Cycle starting over but it's too late
Try it just one time, it seals your fate
Deadly consequences, you can't go back
Life is gone, a heart attack
