I'll show you something, but you won't see
I'll give you nothing, nothing for free You crossed the dark side, you sold your soul No turning back now, you've dug your hole Out of the Darkness, and into the black Out of the Darkness, and into the black You have the power, inside your mind To make a difference, to all mankind Your time is ticking, you beat your drum They criticize you, what you've become Out of the Darkness, and into the black Out of the Darkness, and into the black Can you be what you wanna be Can you forget your past Are you all that you oughta be Take you into the black Can you be what you wanna be Can you forget your past Are you all that you oughta be Take you into the black You make decisions, you must decide The force of evil, You can't deny The truth is out there, you force your hand You must believe it, to make a stand Out of the Darkness, and into the black Out of the Darkness, and into the black 02. Deadman Walking
The symptoms are showing
Diseases are growing Psychosis is playing on your mind Your skin cells are shedding Bacteria is spreading It's warfare so kill the mastermind Can you hear the warning? Can you hear the warning? Can you hear the warning -- this time? Humankind never heeds the warning Realise that the day is dawning Outside - the dogs are talking Outside -- A dead man walking There's no use in praying Your sanity is fraying You know there's no chance to find a cure The Government is lying While millions lay dying Your future has not quite been assured Can you hear the warning? Can you hear the warning? Can you hear the warning -- this time? Humankind never heeds the warning Realise that the day is dawning Outside the dogs are talking Outside A dead man walking Humankind never heeds the warning Realise that the day is dawning Outside - The dogs are talking Outside -- A dead man walking Deadman -- walk the earth Deadman -- walk the earth Deadman -- walk the earth Deadman -- walk the earth They got their eyes on you 03. Tears Of Redemption
Orphaned children everywhere
In the mosques of Lebanon Families gathered round in prayer But the chance for peace is gone 20 years of bloodshed Victims of the war 13 brothers all shot dead But your faith is not secured Can you feel all the racial tension? Can you feel the violent hate As you pray for the tears of redemption You pray but it's all too late The misery of the Blood Death Hatred As you're thrown into the fire, As you fear for the mortal slaughter They're branding you a liar Can you believe the gall? They've tried to claim the wall! That once was built for all! They're trying to deceive me believe me They think they can control me console me Islam has betrayed me repaid me Your god has abused me confused me Our lives, your fate Are bound by illusions you create Your seeds of hate Your god, your creed Bound & tied by the hands of greed You won't succeed You amuse me, You abuse me I refuse to be a Muslim You forsake me, you can't break me You won't make me be a Muslim Your rules, your race Are drawn to the power of the holy place You breed disgrace We hear your cries You feel the need to criticize You need your lies You amuse me, You abuse me I refuse to be a Muslim You forsake me, you can't break me You won't make me be a Muslim Your war -- your fear, is haunting me Your war -- your fear, is haunting me Your war -- your fear, is haunting me Your war -- your fear, is haunting me Can you believe the gall? They've tried to claim the wall! That once was built for all! 04. Before The Bough Breaks
The air that I breathe is suffocating me
These things that I do, confusing me The eyes of the blind are staring at my soul My time on this world has taken its toll How far -- Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far -- Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? Before the Bough begins to Break This life that I lead is aggravating me These thoughts in my head confusing me This switch in my brain is turned to overload I'm going insane -- I'm about to explode How far -- Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far -- Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? Before the Bough begins to Break Did you get what you want? Did you get what you need? Did you get what you want? Did you get what you need? How far -- Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far -- Can you go before you break? Can your mind and body take? If you make just one mistake? How far -- Before the bough breaks? Every time you look at me I feel like I'm the enemy How far? Before the bough breaks? I don't think we'll make it through, you can't see my point of view How far? Before the bough breaks? Always criticising me sapping all my energy How far? Before the bough breaks? I wish that it was yesterday -- same old shit everyday How far? Before the bough breaks? 05. Rise Or Fall
You can walk the streets, or live the dream
Who's to blame for your low self esteem? You can live your life or take it away No one will notice if you live another day Live another day Rise or Fall -- You don't have to be another brick in the wall Rise or Fall -- Take it or leave it if you're sick of it all Rise or Fall -- You're learning to run before you're learning to crawl Rise or Fall -- Just rise or fall You can hide your face, or face your fear Who will notice if you disappear? You've lived your life under scrutiny There's no use fighting for your destiny For your destiny Rise or Fall -- You don't have to be another brick in the wall Rise or Fall -- Take it or leave it if you're sick of it all Rise or Fall -- You're learning to run before you're learning to crawl Rise or Fall -- Just rise or fall Rise or Fall -- You don't have to be another brick in the wall Rise or Fall -- Take it or leave it if you're sick of it all Rise or Fall -- You're learning to run before you're learning to crawl Rise or Fall -- Just rise or fall Rise or Fall 06. My Nightmare
Every time I can't get to sleep
I struggle with my conscience Promises I cannot keep Running out of patience Every time I sleep I cannot keep my sanity (Sanity) Every time I wake I cannot fake my anxiety This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream Fighting through the dead of the night Waiting for the sun Waking in a state of fright Nowhere left to run Every time I sleep I cannot keep my sanity (Sanity) Every time I wake I cannot fake my anxiety This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream Try to dream of sunshine -- all I see is rain Senseless aggravation -- messing with my brain Messing with my brain Every time I sleep I cannot keep my sanity (Sanity) Every time I wake I cannot fake my anxiety This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream This is my nightmare -- this is not a dream This is my nightmare 07. Say Your Prayers
All of my life you dared to abuse me
Drowning my dignity How could you leave me scared and defenceless? Leaving a scar on my memory Say your prayers Good luck to your health He who dares -- Is hanging himself Say your prayers Good luck to your health He who dares -- Is hanging himself No use pretending you never hurt me 12 years of misery Counting my bruises mending my fractures You say it's nothing well I disagree Say your prayers Good luck to your health He who dares -- Is hanging himself Say your prayers Good luck to your health He who dares -- Is hanging himself This morning I woke and I had to react I can't take it no more I decided to act With my hand on my gun I walked up to his bed I pulled back on the trigger the fucker is dead The fucker is dead -- I did what you said -- Get out of my head The fucker is dead -- I did what you said -- Get out of my head Say your prayers Good luck to your health He who dares -- Is hanging himself Say your prayers Good luck to your health He who dares -- Is hanging himself Say your prayers 08. Lost Within
Staring at the mirror
Can you see what the mirror sees? Where is the reflection? A blank mind staring back at me Watching the reaction Trying to fake the reality Missing in the action I need someone to set me free I'm lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Looking through a window Faceless strangers watching you Staring at the victim Trying to change my point of view Feeling like a failure Those who just don't have a clue Actions of a saviour Heartbeat kick start overdue I'm lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost, Lost Within Lost, Lost within I'm losing my mind, don't believe what I said I'm losing the things that live inside of my head So give me a needle but don't give me no drug Don't give me your freedom I'd rather be dead Picking up the pieces Pull this dagger from my chest Looking like a newsflash Put this dead man to the test Asking all the questions Why my body's being possessed Finding out the answers Lay my body down to rest I'm lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost - within my mind, within my head, within myself Lost, Lost Within Lost, Lost within Lost within my head 09. Eye In The Sky
Blood on your hands
Fear in your eyes Your retina scans have been recognised Your running for miles They're running your files Your DNA has been analysed Can we trust politicians won't misuse their trust Mass surveillance they all know who we are You can't pretend anymore Keep your mouth shut you know you've broken the law Eye in the sky Eye in the sky Big brother big brother discovers your lie Eye in the sky Eye in the sky The political machine has recorded your lie Blood on the streets A young girl cries No one is safe unless a minster dies The governments rules The governments fools The CIA has you terrorised Can we trust politicians won't misuse their trust Mass surveillance they all know who we are You can't pretend anymore Keep your mouth shut you know you've broken the law Eye in the sky Eye in the sky Big brother big brother discovers your lie Eye in the sky Eye in the sky The political machine has recorded your lie Hey you! On camera two! Why do you think the camera's pointed at you? Can't you see on camera three A dirty politician doesn't matter to me Eye in the sky Eye in the sky Big brother big brother discovers your lie Eye in the sky Eye in the sky The political machine has recorded your lie 10. Broken Promises
Satisfied that you lied
The people want you crucified Won't you tell the truth? On the side I'm terrified Of all the rules that you've implied Won't you tell the truth? No need to make broken promises No need to tell those lies No need to make broken promises You can't ignore the deaths of war They're picking bodies off the floor Won't you call a truce? And furthermore you've closed the door On all the troops that you withdraw Won't you call a truce? No need to make broken promises No need to tell these lies No need to make broken promises I know you can't keep making these promises I know you can't keep telling those lies I know you're just the American president It's not your son who regretfully dies Why can't you see what you need to see Why can't you be what we need you to be I know you can't keep making these promises I know you can't keep telling those lies No need to make broken promises ("No need! No Need!") No need to tell these lies ("No Lies! No Lies!") No need to make broken promises ("No need! No Need!") No need to tell those -- tell those lies! |
