Rip it up, kick it out.
Blood begins to flow. Taking chances, The only way I know. Sacrificed everything. I'm the grinding stone. Ripping flesh, drawing blood. I'd love to eat your bones. My world will not cave in. I will dare so I will win. Hear the timebombs begin to tick. I'll hit you like a ton of bricks. Hammer or anvil, You must pay the price. Thunder, lightning, Yes, it does strike twice. Vice grips hold me, Keep me in control. And if you think I'm kidding you, You will feel the fatal blow. My world will not cave in. I will dare so I will win. Hear the timebombs begin to tick. I'll hit you like a ton of bricks, ton of bricks. Oh yeah, you! I know that it's true Do you have a clue To what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna Rip it up, kick it out Blood begins to flow Taking chances The only way I know Sacrificed everything I'm the grinding stone Ripping flesh and drawing blood I'd love to eat your bones My world will not cave in I will dare so I will win Hear the timebombs begin to tick I'll hit you like a ton of bricks Ton of bricks, ton of bricks Oh yeah, you! I know that it's true Do you have a clue To what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna stop. 02. Start The Fire
Break down the walls of forever.
Pull down hard on the lever. Let them know that you can turn the key. Though they try to hold us down. Turn it up, that chainsaw sound. I just love to see my parents flee. So you see that they're all going nowhere. Everybody's staring into space. Start the fire. Bring down the hammer. Start start the fire. Burning on forever. Now I see the storm clouds a coming. Can you feel the juice, it's a hummin'. Feed the power cables into me. Like a ship that's built for destruction. I'm a metal man of construction. And I'll fire my cannons, one by one. So you see that they're all going nowhere. Everybody's staring into space. Start the fire. Bring down the hammer. Start start the fire. Burning on forever. 03. Method To Your Madness
Please let us at them,
Goes the barrack room cry, I'm glad I'm not going. I'm not dying to die. I've got all my medals Survived sneak attacks It's not worth all the feelings And compassion I lack. Out on the run, guns at your back, They've got you in their sights. Everyone's gone, they're dead in a trench. Endless, sleepless nights. I've been to the jungle In garrison file I've walked death's quiet paths Each lonely mile I killed for no reason My heart grew stone cold With a gun in your hand, Suddenly you think you're so bold Out on the run, guns at your back, They've got you in their sights. Everyone's gone, they're dead in a trench. Endless, sleepless nights. Out on the run, guns at your back They've got you in their sights Is the method to your madness now To try to end your life? Captive there and all alone I would bide my time I'de write my family and all my friend And tell them I am doing fine But why is there blood upon my chest? Is there a method to this madness? Twenty one guns salute you, When you die. Twenty one guns salute you, Why, oh why? Your gravestone reads You were a patriot's son. But nobody cares When all is said and done. Out on the run, guns at your back, They've got you in their sights. Everyone's gone, they're dead in a trench. Endless, sleepless nights. Out on the run, guns at your back, They've got you in their sights. Is the method to your madness now To try to end your life? 04. Watch The Children Pray
In a darkened graveyard glows a light.
I see it shine there every night. I know somewhere there's a hidden door. There's an answer here we must explore. No, I'll not submit to reason. I'll sit and watch the seasons change. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. We hold our fate and make the choice, But we'll not listen to that still small voice. Are we just crazy, out of our minds? Wish this were someplace, another time. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. And I know we're going So far away from this wretched life we lead. With open arms meet catastrophe, In the valley of the damned we'll be. And I know we're going So far away from this wretched life we lead. With open arms meet catastrophe, In the valley of the damned we'll be. We watch the children pray. Save us God today, Come whatever may. And now to life we say goodbye. I know the when but not the why. Our nation's blood spills on the ground. Our lives go out without a sound. 05. Over My Dead Body
No matter what you say,
You're gotta make it through the day. You know you will, you know you will. Just call the doctor on the phone, Tell 'em you can't make it all alone. Gotta get your fix. So climb aboard your scarlet ship, Stars are brightly dancing in your eyes. Keep chasing all your dreams, You know they're just a pack of lies. The sands of time are running out. You know this god ain't got a doubt He's gonna get your soul. Gonna get your soul. Driving hard and living fast, You know your life ain't worth a line of blast Laid on the mirror. So climb aboard your scarlet ship, Stars are brightly dancing in your eyes. Keep chasing all your dreams, You know they're just a pack of lies. Push the needle in your vein. Ya laugh and shout that you're insane You wanna die, you're gonna try. Racing down the open road, On your mind's heavy load of pain. What will you gain? So climb aboard your scarlet ship, Stars are brightly dancing in your eyes. Keep chasing all your dreams, You know they're just a pack of lies. Just a pack of lies. Try, try, try, you're gonna try. Lie, lie, lie, you know they're lies! Die, die, die, you're gonna die! 06. The Dark
It's way past midnight
There's a howling wind Oh God what can it be? Something out there evil And it's coming straight for me The house is dark and very cold I know there's no one here Why am I scared to death Just petrified with fear 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the house 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the dark The dark When I opened up the door And snapped on the switch The room was filled with light Then something black and very fast Fled upon my sight What I feared most as a child Was the coming of the night Now my horrors have become quite real My nightmares breathe new life 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the house Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the dark Dark! What is it in the house That the darkness brings to life? I sense their eyes upon me As I grab a butcher knife Whatever it is that waits for me It hides beneath my bed If I try to sleep tonight By morning I'll be dead! 'Cause I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the house Yes, I'm shakin' and I'm thinkin' Of something evil lurking And waiting for me in the dark 07. Psycho
Stick your fingers in the eyes of night
Rip open the belly of Death And you'll see What is real Tear down the image of youth all around Steal the dreams from their minds And you'll be All their lies [Chorus] Can it be what you're thought to believe It's nothing more than your mind can conceive He's out there waiting for you The psycho is ready to kill Well you're a mean one a bloody bastard son You think its all just for fun But there's no setting sun [Chorus] One way all the time You can seem to get it right You never see the tunnel Or the light Spend a million just to say You're hip You got to find a way To get the thrill of your life Trip the light Trip the light fantastic Party and you'll die Someday you will die 3:am you feel that twitch again For a walk in the park It's getting late Slip through the gate The psycho jumps out from behind Sticks his knife in your Throat and you die 08. Line Of Death
Just the other day
I heard the newsman say Enemy missiles fired And coming out our way Will we all be told Just who the hell we are Where we take our ships Of trade to port calls very far [Chorus] Beyond the line of death He says he'll get you If you dare defy him To laugh at his orders Cross over the line So three ships went down And all there hands were lost If he's gonna spit on us He's gotta pay the cost You angry little madman Whith fist raised to the sky Your people just like sheep They follow never wonder why Blood and death his calling cards They seem as though the answer Spreading through this world And growing like a cancer His mind must be tormented Rotting yet alive Terrorism tactics When will we draw the line [Chorus] How many times must we die In the name of peace Now we all know The time is running short And the devil sees The world as his whore If you see a psychopath with a loaded gun Killing all your neighbors Will you stand or run Just the other day I heard the newsman say Enemy missiles fired And commin out our way [Chorus] 09. Burial At Sea
Black scared and bleeding
From the lashes to my soul I chose to stand my ground Not do as i was told Thinking like mindless sheep These people were my friends Now i feel abandoned With a pain that never ends [Chorus] My blood is boiling now On this journey to no avail On this ship of fools We're gonna die Will no one listen to what i say I saw the charts I saw the maps I know we're way of course Try to stop this captain His twisted wicked force We're on a route To certain death To drown among the ice I've got to stop this madness Or the ship will pay the price SOLO Holding tight the prison bars As we drift into the mist I can't believe This is happening My guts they wrench and twist The air is getting colder now Sailing further north I back down onto my knees I cry out to the lord [Chorus] In a icy wasteland The sun begins to set I see the frozen corpses Of my shipmates On the deck I pull myself up on the rail Make my one last prayer Submerge myself in the depths I drown my lifes despair 10. Western Alliance
Obtain a cloak of power
That brings us all genocide The further satnds before the masses Malevolence inside [Chorus] Truth to falsify Poisining their minds Hell is on the rise The west must now align Perceive what is right Rush headlong into the fight No way you'll take their lying Their way of life is dying [Chorus] Facing on us their will Now's the time for us to kill Invasion is the only answer Infecting us like cancer |
