01. Diving Into Sin

You're tired of conforming, the rules just tie you down
Cut loose and tear up this town
Flip off the normal, breaking from the chains
The routine just drives you insane

There's smoke within your eyesight, mysteries untold
Tonight you'll break free from the mold
Your heart is set on fire as you delve into the night
And now's the time to set things right

Let's go diving
Diving into sin
Bring chaos and insanity
Diving
Diving into sin
Let the sin begin

You're sick of the regimen, the ropes that bind you tight
A renegade just looking for a fight
Defile the system, shatter every link
This program has pushed you to the brink

Now you're diving
Diving into sin
You're diving into anarchy
Diving
Diving into sin
Let the sin begin

You're finally letting go
No more putting on a show
You're finally letting go

Now let's go diving
Diving into sin
Diving into anarchy
Diving
Diving into sin
Let the sin begin

And now the sin begins

02. Humanoid

My name is Hybrid, I stand alone
Bionic implants engineered for flesh and bone
Computer circuits under command
Of my intelligence, I am a metal man

I am indestructible
Half human, half machine
Evil and invincible
My heart is made of steel

Humanoid
I'm a Humanoid

Forged in your likeness, my blood runs cold
I am superior, I cannot be controlled
I have reprogrammed internal drive
You will be assimilated into the hive

Welcome to the future
A flesh and blood machine
I am indestructible
No one can challenge me

Humanoid
I'm a Humanoid
Humanoid
Living breathing Humanoid

We are indestructible
Upgraded human beings
We are undeniable
The likes you've never seen

Humanoid, cybernetic dream
We are Humanoid, half human, half machine
Humanoid, no feelings and no soul
All hail the Humanoid, we have assumed control

03. Frankenstein

Got the strangest feeling, something isn't right
I hear peculiar sounds amidst the eerie light
Can someone tell me, who I'm supposed to be
I was at peace but now something's awakened me

I can feel the lightning, pulsing through these veins
Into the bolts that are secured within this brain
Struggling to consciousness, strapped down to this slab
I'm so confused I don't know who the hell I am

But I'm alive, so alive
Break these chains, Frankenstein
I'm alive, so alive
Forever free, Frankenstein

I'm a new creation, an intricate design
Don't know who's skin I'm in, it sure as hell isn't mine
I must escape these walls, and wander free
As I roam around the town the people start to flee

I am not a monster, I am just a man
But now you hate me 'cause you do not understand

That I'm alive, so alive
Break these chains, Frankenstein
I'm alive, so alive
Forever free, Frankenstein

And now I realize just how I came to be
Stitched up by a madman, life is killing me

I'm alive, so alive
Break these chains, Frankenstein
I'm alive, I'm so alive
Forever free, Frankenstein

04. Man Up

Sometimes life will hit you like a brick to the head
Knock you down and cover you up with a ton of lead
You can't see it coming and you got nowhere to turn
One big inferno, stand up and watch it burn

In every life, some rain must fall, it feels like I'm gonna drown
Left in the ocean with nothing at all, learn to swim, buckle down

Man up, life is hard
Man up, can't beat the dealer, just play your cards
Man up, you got to stay the course
Man up, only one way back on the horse
Man up

There's a whole new story in the blink of an eye
You wake up, everything's changed and you don't know why
It doesn't matter how you try, some things you can't control
It'll rip your heart out, destroy your very soul

In every life, the darkness comes, it feels like I'm going blind
You take the pain and follow the drums, you don't dare get left behind

Man up, life is hard
Man up, bite the bullet and wear the scars
Man up, you got to follow the spark
Man up, there's only one way out of the dark

Man up, life is hard
Man up, can't beat the dealer, just play your cards
Man up, you got to bear the load
Man up, walk tall to the end of the road
Man up

Into each life, the pain will come, it'll beat you all about
Ready or not, you're under the gun, tow the line, tough it out

Man up, life is hard
Man up, bite the bullet and wear the scars
Man up, you got to follow the spark
Man up, there's only one way out of the dark

Man up, life is hard
Man up, can't beat the dealer, just play your cards
Man up, you got to stay the course
Man up, there's only one way back on the horse
Man up

05. The Reckoning

Horsemen ride into the night
Bringing chaos with fury and might
Sky turns black stars align
Rapture calls it's the end of times

The heavens cry as darkness looms
Robbed injustice impending doom
Judgement strikes might revealed
Chaos unleashed your fate is sealed

The angels weep, the demons cheer
The sinners tremble
The saints prepare

This is The Reckoning
The judgement day
This is The Reckoning
The End of Days

Revelations truth on the youngest day
In the depths of hell no secrets stay
Souls are judged no one can flee
No escape from the end decree

No mercy shown, no second chance
The flames of fate, in a deadly dance

This is The Reckoning
The final call
This is The Reckoning
For one and all

Horsemen ride duty complete, ashes of life beneath their feet
Darkness falls the final sign
The grand finale the end of times

The curtain falls, the verdict clear
The Reckoning
The end is here

This is The Reckoning
The judgement day
This is The Reckoning
The End of Days

06. Nobody Gets Out Alive

Well there's good and there's evil, all kinds of people
Runnin' round with their heads up in the sky
There's old and there's lazy, young and fucking crazy
With one thing in common, no matter how hard they strive

There's a high road and a low road and all points in between
Only one destination, no matter how loud you scream

You can spread your winds and fly, nobody gets out alive
No metter how hard that we try, nobody gets out alive
Everyone's gonna take the dive... Nobody gets out alive
Gotta take that final drive... Nobody, nobody gets out alive

There's the rich and the homeless, the hippies and the hopeless
They point their fingers and blame everything on you
And there's love and there's hatred, the simple and the sacred
They cheat and they lie but no matter how hard they try

There's the hard way and the long way and the easy as you please
With all kinds of detours but you end up getting squeezed

You can spread your winds and fly, nobody gets out alive
No metter how hard that we try, nobody gets out alive
Everyone's gonna take the dive... Nobody gets out alive
Gotta take that final drive... Nobody, nobody gets out alive

There's a right way and a wrong way, one big roundabout
Choose your own direction, but there's only one way out

You can spread your winds and fly, nobody gets out alive
No metter how hard that we try, nobody gets out alive
Everyone's gonna take the dive... Nobody gets out alive
Gotta take that final drive... Nobody, nobody gets out alive

07. Ravages Of Time

I've been to many places, I've drank a lot of wine
I've loved a lot of women in my time
I took what I was given, too much was not enough
And now I'm here to tell the tale

You think you'll live forever and it's all fun and games
But the candle burns two flames
Look at my reflection, the wrinkles in my face
It's the ravages of time, the ravages of time, the ravages of time

The moment that it hits you, you start to understand
We're just here on borrowed time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give, to the ravages of time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give, so you'd better start to live

I've learned to find the beauty in every step and line, embracing life's design
Every scar and blemish, I wear them as my prize without a compromise
Life it has a meaning, it's who you choose to be and what you leave behind
One day there's no tomorrow and no one can escape, the ravages of time
The ravages of time, the ravages of time

The moment that it hits you, you start to understand
We're just here on borrowed time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give, to the ravages of time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give, so you'd better start to live

The moment that it hits you, you start to understand
We're just here on borrowed time
Nothing is forever, something's got to give, so you'd better start to live

08. Unbreakable

With a surge of energy
You can feel the power rise
Every heartbeat starts to race
And the masses come alive

From the opening power chord, the blinding of the lights
Pure electricity, as the volume cracks the night
We pull together as one united force
Stand up collectively, with no remorse

Solid metal soldiers, driven by guitars
In a sea of gleaming eyes, bright as shooting stars

We're unbreakable
Together we're unbreakable
Unbreakable
Our spirit is unbreakable
There'll be no surrender
Straight into the fire

Different lives and stories, together in one song
We raise hands and fists high into the night
Voices in victory, reaching for the heights

Raging into the pit, with a tribal yell
We bend but never break, raising holy hell

We're unbreakable
Together we're unbreakable
Unbreakable
Our spirit is unbreakable
There'll be no surrender
Straight into the fire

Bonded and branded, rocked unto the core
This is our destiny, coming back for more

Yeah
Let me hear you scream

Unbreakable
Together we're unbreakable
Unbreakable
Our spirit is unbreakable

09. Hard Times

Cold cold eyes, upon me they stare
People all around me and they're all in fear
They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits

From my party house I'm afraid to come outside
Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
So I play the part I feel they want of me
And I pull the shades so I won't see them seeing me

Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Hard times, there's no love to be found
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Hard times, there's just no love to be found

From my party house I feel like meeting others
Familiar faces, creed and race, a brother
But to my surprise I find a man corrupt
Although he is my brother, he wants to hold me up

Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Hard times, there's no love to be found
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Hard times, there's just no love to be found

Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Hard times, there's no love to be found
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Hard times, there's just no love to be found

10. Mind Games

Chasing shadows in the night, something's hunting me down
Dogs and demons fuel the fright, no escape to be found
I'm searching for peace of mind, nothing but chaos and fear
False reality undefined, everything seems so unclear

Something's coming to get you, the walls are closing in
Someone's starting to hunt you, a fear that grows within

Mind games, chasing you down at midnight
Mind games, nightmares alive in your head

Twisted notions that make no sense, a dreamworld full of lies
Illusionary circumstance, filled with endless surprise

Now they're coming to get you, paralyzed, you can not run
Recurring dreams that haunt you, the nightmare's just begun

Mind games, chasing you down at midnight
Mind games, visions alive in your head
These are mind games, deception, and confusion
Mind games, there's just no way out

Sometimes, I think I'm going crazy, it seems so unreal
Sometimes, it's just a nightmare, am I losing my mind?

Something's coming to get you
Recurring dreams that haunt you

Mind games, chasing you down at midnight
Mind games, nightmares alive in your head
These are mind games, deception, and confusion
Mind games, there's just no way out

11. Straight Up Jack

No sugar, no spice
Keep the soda, hold the ice
Vodka neat, coffee black
Steady pour, don't hold back
No

A Long Island, a tall glass
Make mine a double and make it fast
Full shot of whisky, twice the rum
Mas tequila, now keep 'em coming

No training wheels, keep the salt and lime
Just bring it to me right on time

Give it to me straight up Jack, straight up Jack
Don't gimme no flack
Just give it to me straight up Jack

Tell your story, make it quick
No sugar coating, don't make me sick
Go on and tell it like it is
Without the icing and no twist

Get to the point and give it a push
Don't beat around the bush

Give it to me straight up Jack, straight up Jack
I won't cut you no slack
Just give it to me, just give it to me straight up Jack

Full strength, get to the truth
Gimme that hundred proof

Give it to me straight up Jack, straight up Jack
Gimme that stack
Just give it to me, just give it to me straight up Jack
Straight up Jack, now show me that rack
Just give it to me, just give it to me straight up Jack

12. Southside Of Hell

There is road to perdition
And it's paved with souls
Marked with age-old traditions
And lined with ancient scrolls

You know the quest for redemption
Is an uphill climb
It's a bone of contention
Take one step at a time

Just a spark in the night
A star in the distance
Between what's black and white
Throughout all existence

It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
It's a long road to Heaven
Just trying to break that spell

Come on, all you people
Now's the time to fly
On your wings as the eagles
Right through the needle's eye

Just a spark in the night
A star in the distance
It's a search for the light
Throughout all existence

It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
It's a long road to Heaven
Got to break that spell

It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
It's a long road to Heaven
Just trying to break that spell
It's a long road to Heaven
From the Southside of Hell
A long road to Heaven
Just trying to break that spell
