Cape in hand, I'll be ready to help you too
Take my stand, I only speak out for truth Yeah, oh yeah! I can see the walls are closing in Yes, I know death is clawing at your skin Yeah, oh yeah! I can feel the loss so hard It shocks me to the soul Life will never be the same Vision darkened from the toll Superman is gone, superman is gone So now I'm gonna fly Like a bullet through the sky You can be sure I'm here to save you You can be sure I'm here to save you So now I'm flyin' high Like a bullet in the sky And you know I'm always here to save you I've just got some things I've gotta do I'm gonna need a little time Feeling like you will never see the rays of the sun Staring down the barrel of a gun Yeah, oh yeah! I can feel the loss so hard It shocks me to the soul Life will never be the same Vision darkened from the toll Superman is gone, superman is gone So now I'm gonna fly Like a bullet through the sky You can be sure I'm here to save you You can be sure I'm here to save you So now I'm gonna fly Like a bullet in the sky And you know I'm always here to save you I've just got some things I've gotta do I'm gonna need a little time I can feel the loss so hard It shocks me to the soul Life will never be the same Vision darkest from the toll Superman is gone Gone, gone, gone superman is gone Gone! So now I'm gonna fly Like a bullet through the sky You can be sure I'm here to save you You can be sure I'm here to save you So now I'm gonna fly Like a bullet through the sky And you know I'm always here to save you I've just got some things I've gotta do I'm gonna need a little time 02. Primal
The feel of blood boiling through your veins
The hair that raises straight up from your skin Tunnel vision forcing you to escalate Violence using pride on you as bait Your teeth are clenched, adrenaline You feel the anger, come from within Primal Instincts rising to the surface Primal Fear trying to defend Disrespect is weighing on your self esteem Negatives of life into your ear The need for justice, fair play, and revenge Gets the blood boiling through your veins again Your teeth are clenched, adrenaline You feel the anger, come from within Primal Instincts rising to the surface Primal Fear trying to defend Primal Screams are bouncing off the wall and back again Primal Dreams won't show you how it ends This is happening again Primal, low until the end Tell me that I'm wrong and I'll change who I am Into someone coming back at you again Words will trap you into what I want A reason to control you and make you obey Your teeth are clenched, adrenaline You feel the anger, come from within Primal Instincts rising to the surface Primal Fear trying to defend Primal Screams are bouncing off the wall and back again Primal Dreams won't show you how it ends Your teeth are clenched, adrenaline You feel the anger, come from within 03. I Am The Weapon
All out of time
All out of days All out of what I need from you No time to fly No time to waste I know the warrior's creed A world insane Kill the pain Say my name I am the weapon Hearts of stone I walk alone You've been warned I am the weapon! All out of patience All out of cool All out of what I get from you No time to waste No time at all I know that warriors fall A world insane Kill the pain Say my name I am the weapon Hearts of stone I walk alone You've been warned I am the weapon All out of time All out of days All out of what I need from you No time to fly No time to waste I know the warrior's creed The world in flames Kill the pain Call my name I am the weapon Hearts of stone I walk alone Just flesh and bone I am the weapon A world insane Kill the pain Break my chains I am the weapon Hearts of stone I walk alone You've been warned I am the weapon! 04. Burned My Bridges
You can only sense the right from what you have been told
Back and forth of who is wrong is getting oh so old Hear the screams of passion from the radical few The rusty wheel that gets the grease is not the one you lose The louder I become, the more attention paid The deeper I dig in, the steadier the way Rising as the darkness descends I never know, never feel just what lies ahead Riding into the storm I burnеd my bridges everywhеre, but now I have no way home A new divide, everybody has a ride A million destinations all at the same time A list of basic needs should be higher on the list The things that we all need to breathe, and eat, and live The louder I become, the more attention paid The deeper I dig in, the steadier the way Rising as the darkness descends I never know, I never feel just what lies ahead Riding into the storm I burned my bridges everywhere, but now I have no way home The louder I become the more attention paid The deeper I dig in, the steadier the way Rising as the darkness descends Rising as the darkness descends I never know, I never feel just what lies ahead Riding into the storm Riding into the storm I burned my bridges everywhere, but now I have no way home Rising as the darkness descends Rising I never know, I never feel just what lies ahead Oh, oh, oh Riding into the storm I burned my bridges everywhere, but now I have no way home 05. The Head Of The Snake
I know the feeling creeping up on me
I see a viper in the front seat Take a bite, the apple's rotten to the core One look, a statue with a head of gold One fate, what's the price of your soul One spark, to start another mindless war Beware the whispers in your ear So serpentine The venom flows in endless hate It's time to cut the head off the snake The serpent strikes in endless rage It's time to crush the head of the snake The head of the snake Your pride swallows up the whole world Choked out, more than you had bargained for Take a look, the apple's rotten to the core One bite, I don't wanna see you bleed One fate, what's the price of your greed One fall, the shadows standing at the door Beware the whispers in your ear So serpentine The venom flows in endless hate It's time to cut the head off the snake The serpent strikes in endless rage It's time to crush the head of the snake The head of the snake Beware the whispers in your ear So serpentine The venom flows in endless hate It's time to cut the head off the snake The serpent strikes in endless rage It's time to crush the head of the snake The venom flows in endless hate It's time to cut the head off the snake The serpent strikes in endless rage It's time to crush the head of the snake The head of the snake 06. Beneath The Shadows
What do you see when you look at me
Perception tells you who I am The fading interest of what I do No matter how hard I work for you My heart is passed by so easily My abilities ignored And even when you see the pain inside of me The stories you have heard will haunt your dreams Beneath the shadows of my past The stories told the times of old Beneath the shadows of my fate Couldn't say if it was jealousy or hate But you can't see me Beneath the shadows You can't see me Behind the shade You can't see me Beneath the shadows You can't see me Begin to fade Background characters are rarely remembered The ones who died to make the scene Focus on the new the ones that aren't you A name in small print at the bottom of the page You share the light from out of view But it's not flashing just for you It matters not what I can do The draw is not the talent now Beneath the shadows of my past The stories told the times of old Beneath the shadows of my fate Couldn't say if it was jealousy or hate But you can't see me Beneath the shadows You can't see me Behind the shade You can't see me Beneath the shadows You can't see me As I start to fade I just keep on pushing To the beat of what I do Happy with my contribution As I know you feel it too So I just keep on pushing To the beat of what I do Happy with my contribution As I know you feel it too You can't see me Beneath the shadows You can't see me Behind the shade You can't see me Beneath the shadows You can't see me After I fade You can't see me You can't see me You can't see me You can't see me You can't see me 07. Gates Of Hell
How thick the dead
Lay scattered on the ground You lit the fuse And didn't make a sound Screams in the dark But you never heard the cries Scepter in hand You spin your wicked lies The demons laugh Drinking blood like wine And now it's time The gates of hell Are closing now to lock your soul away The gates of hell Eternally inside this fire you'll stay The vultures fly On bruised and battered wings The wolves surround To eat the flesh of kings You played your part To lead the world astray You paid the price And now it's judgment day The demons laugh Drinking blood like wine And now it's time The gates of hell Are closing now to lock your soul away The gates of hell Eternally inside this fire you'll stay How thick the dead Lay scattered on the ground You lit the fuse And didn't make a sound The demons laugh Drinking blood like wine And now it's time The gates of hell Are closing now to lock your soul away The gates of hell Eternally inside this fire you'll stay The gates The gates of hell Are closing now to lock your soul away The Gates The gates of hell Eternally inside this fire you'll stay 08. Cold Steel Lights
I can see the fear
You're hiding behind your eyes You can't tell me I don't know you, I do You're the one who's trapped In a deadly circle We all say that we Know your path and end You can't see There's no reflection in your eyes You can never see What it tells you to hide Under the cold steel lights of city life There are lives that pay the price Out in the busy crowd the danger hides In the silence of the night Do your deed under the dark of night You think we can't see What you're trying to hide Know your fears, your shame Your emotions, and pain Do more deeds every time Feelings come to play You can't see There's no reflection in your eyes You can never see What it tells you to hide Under the cold steel lights of city life There are lives that pay the price Out in the busy crowd the danger hides In the shadows of the night Under the cold steel lights of city life There are lives that pay the price Out in the busy crowd the danger hides In the silence of the Silence of the nigh Hide in the darkness of the unseen shadows In the caverns of the city's heart Under clouds of desperation Under the cold steel lights of city life There are lives that pay the price Out in the busy crowd the danger hides In shadows of the night Under the cold steel lights of city life There are lives that pay the price Out in the busy crowd the danger hides Under the cold steel lights of city life There are lives that pay the price Out in the busy crowd the danger hides In the silence of the Silence of the night 09. Kings Of The Underworld
Work and work and take away
What I have worked for everyday And tell me that it's helping out The water clean the evil out The sands of time are running low I have no other place to go And I have given all I'm told To help to keep our living gold Pay attention to the ground I don't throw all filth around Only use what I need, no environmental greed The animals are in the clear, no reason for killing here Try to be so color blind, sometimes I just hit rewind Kings of the underworld Taking life for riches that you twirl Kings of the underworld Tell me how to live to keep your pockets full I do my part all the time as you take half of every dime You say to pay for things I need, but really just to feed your greed The water bad the safety gone, all the children learn from home Cannot gather here or there, or travel where I need to dare You say you all know the best, no matter how all the rest Of us are screaming to be heard, only listen to absurd Demands upon our way of life, from those who don't contribute, knife To cut the ties that we all dread, country morals freedom dead Kings of the underworld Taking life for riches that you twirl Kings of the underworld Tell me how to live to keep your pockets full Kings of the underworld Scream to be heard, truth is blurred Kings of the underworld Underworld Taking life for riches that you twirl Around, around it Kings of the underworld Keep your pockets full! Tell me how to live to keep your pockets full Kings of the underworld 10. Running Through The Fire
I can't restrain you
From running through the fire I can't control you I can't stop you From running through the fire From running through the fire The pain of addiction, the pain of loss The fire consumed your soul The curse that runs right through your veins And drags you down to sheol Never see the other side, never find the truth Lost yourself in the dust But you still can't find the pain you hide It's a cancer you birth from lust Running through the fire Will you take that poison pill Run through the fire Brings about a terror curse that kills Running through the fire The rage you spill on yourself Run through the fire A certificate of evil from your shelf The pain of wrath, the pain of greed Destruction is in the wake You're seeping down into the dirt Your spirit begins to break It controls your thoughts, controls your mind Can't find your way out But only you hold the key, your ritual so devout Running through the fire You will take this poison pill Run through the fire Brings about a terror curse that kills Running through the fire The rage you spill on yourself Run through the fire A certificate of evil on your shelf You let the world divide, you lost the hope inside But there's still time to take the wheel To lay it down and start to heal But you can't live like this Death is waiting there to kiss you Break away and say goodbye To all the pain you've kept inside Reach out now and take my hand And I'll be there to help you stand Inside the storm that breaks your heart Just leave it all behind Running through the fire Never take the poison pill Run through the fire It brings about a terror curse that kills Running through the fire The rage you spill on yourself Run through the fire A certificate of evil on your shelf Running through the fire Running through the fire Running through the fire, running through the fire Running through the fire, running through the fire Running through the fire! Running through the fire, running through the fire Running through the fire, running through the fire 11. Black Wings
I can feel excitement in my soul
I can see the world about to change I have these visions in my mind From the silver screen I can only put myself Right there inside the dream To test myself in situations of control Will I tuck and run or shout out let's roll Can I save the lives of everyone I see in need Or will I fall to preservation and greed Fly into the flames The black wings of fight or flight Are haunting my resolve Do I complicate or help to be involved Fly into the flames The black wings of fight or flight Are tearing at my brain Put it all upon the line and pray I need to make decisions on the fly Have I seen enough of Hollywood to stick inside When it's truly life or death Can I measure ahead Or will the helpless be let down And wind up dead I am the hero of the story in my mind But can I act inside a split second of time Will I take the pain To ward off terror from the weak Or will I close my eyes And turn the other cheek Fly into the flames The black wings of fight or flight Are haunting my resolve Do I complicate or help to be involved Fly into the flames The black wings of fight or flight Are tearing at my brain Put it all upon the line and pray The black wings of fight or flight Are tearing at my soul Am I the one to stay and take control The black wings of fight or flight Are tearing at my brain When it all goes down Will you go or stay Fly into the flames The black wings of fight or flight Are tearing at my soul Am I the one to stay and take control Fly into the flames We all want to be the hero of our day When it all goes down Will you go or stay |
