Give me just one reason
Not to kill you where you stand High caliber deliverance God squeezed within my hand Don't care if you suffer Or how much you bleed I'll cleanse you of your sins Cause it may be all you need The flesh rips, peels and tears From a gentle kiss of lead The firey, hateful world in which You are soon to be A lifeless, soulless shell to gaze upon eternally Watching you climb from below Crying like rain as you fell Reeping the pain that you sow Climbing in vain out of hell A single flash, a deadly crash Of lead against your brain The ending will come quickly So there shouldn't be no pain They'll notify your friends To satisfy their need for grief If you were stolen from them Just call me the thief You'll get your little service They'll come and cry for you They might as well cry for themselves I'm sure I'll get them too Don't take it all so personally It's just somethin' I do My victim's always faceless Just this time it's you Watching you climb from below Crying like rain as you fell Reeping the pain that you sow Climbing in vain out of hell I'm watching And I'm waiting Until you're alone The dark one Has sent one To bring you back home Watching you climb from below Crying like rain as you fell Reeping the pain that you sow Climbing in vain out of hell. 02. Left Unsaid
I'm lying here, I cannot move
With nothing left for me to prove With all the signs of life removed Embalmed, eternally entombed This emptiness I feel inside I'm all alone, I wonder why What left me here, what suicide Left me with eyes that cannot cry What's left unsaid remains that way Words now lie dead - I cannot say What's left unsaid is gone today Words now lie dead - I'll never say You're running out of air it seems Like you've been killed in all your dreams Blood trickling down in blues and greens In neverending horror scenes Your life is built on stone as cold As the empty shell that held your soul There ain't no guilt down in this hole You're here for good - or so I'm told What's left unsaid remains that way Words now lie dead - I cannot say What's left unsaid is gone today Words now lie dead - I'll never say What's left unsaid is just a shell To show you who has gone to hell I wish I could have one more try Just watch the hellfires in my eyes You can't escape from where you'll lay Non sense of time, no night or day No sight or sound in where you'll stay We wouldn't have you anyway So when the time has come you'll know Your heart won't beat and your blood won't flow Remember when you're left below That I'm the one who told you so What's left unsaid remains that way Words now lie dead - I cannot say What's left unsaid is gone today Words now lie dead - I'll never say. 03. Hitlist
Don't matter if you see it comin'
Don't matter if it's fair or not You'll see as your blood is running You deserve just what you got You're at the top of the hitlist You always wanted to be number one There ain't a thing you do I don't know That's part of what I do I can make your wife a widow Half now, half when I'm through Somebody paid me nicely To quiet you for good If you had thought more wisely You'd know somebody would Don't need money to appease me I won't be that forgiving You see it's really all quite easy Your dying is my living You're at the top of the hitlist You always wanted to be first in line You're at the top of the hitlist You always wanted to be number one. 04. Cyanide Grenade
Nocturnal light from deadly suns
Illuminates my fate Concussions all around me In my trench I shake and wait Nausea overwhelms me The dead fill every space They wait for resurrections Bullets ripping past my face I see the wounded falling Grimaces they wore Soldiers and civilians They died the rich and poor All are consumed by fire Bodies turned to rags Mothers only sons Returned to them in bags The final plan unfurled No relief till all has died The extinction of the world In a blast of cyanide Unsparing shrapnel tears through flesh Merciless round by round Like seeds the bodies scattered Too dense to see the ground The deafening siege of fire power Roaring for days on end No one's going home now And there's not much left to send All are consumed by fire Bodies turned to rags Mothers only sons Returned to them in bags The deafening siege of fire power Roaring for days on end No one's going home now There's not much left to send The final plan unfurled No relief till all has died The extinction of the world In a blast of cyanide. 05. Jane Doe
No longer know just what you like
Nor how to taste or feel Life erased with just one strike It's taken all that is real All of your yesterdays How were they stripped away? Your body's still intact my dear Your mind is laid to waste No familiar sounds to hear A stranger's found in every face All of your yesterdays How were they stripped away? Wishing for a helping hand Faces cold unfeeling stone Never knowing where you stand With no history alone All of your yesterdays... 06. Knock Me Down
Looking back it seems so long now
And it's still all wrong now 'Least it is to me Never thought of being you now But it's all so true now Guess it has to be Sure it's alright Until I turn around Picking me up Just to knock me down Well I could've done some things man Just pulled some strings man Just to make you glad Am I just a letdown to you? Does it cut right through you? What you could've had Sure it's alright Until I turn around Picking me up Just to knock me down I wish you could see Just how you look now I know you can't see Just what you took now All the plans made for tomorrow Only end in sorrow, never came to be And my heart's forever bleeding 'Cause what I'm needing Never came to me Sure it's alright Until I turn around Picking me up Just to knock me down. 07. Lack Of Contrition
While we wait for an answer
On how we should live You feel like a cancer On all that we give All the sermons you're giving From your pulpit so tall Yeah, you're making a living One the blind faith of all And no one believes you And yourself still deceives you Every time you say you're sorry You bleed a little of me out Every time you change your story You've got one less to lie to now While they all kneel repenting To heaven they cry Their god they're resenting As lives go awry You speak of damnation How they're led astray You secure their salvation With money they pay You lead them to follow Orations of sorrow Every time you say you're sorry You bleed a little of me out Every time you change your story You've got one less to lie to now While we wait for an answer On how we should live You feel like a cancer On all that we give You speak of damnation How they're led astray You secure their salvation With money they pay Every time you say you're sorry You bleed a little of me out Every time you change your story You've got one less to lie to now. You lead them to follow You'll repent tomorrow Every lie, it cuts and scars me It bleeds a little of me out Every time you change your story You've got one less to cry to, lie to - now. 08. Word To The Wise
I've tried so many times
To forget the things I've done But you don't seem to let me I guess it's all just in fun Maybe I should ask you nice Like civil people do I'd get away with murder If I'd only think it through Try and stop just long enough And look into my eyes Push me and I'll push right back Word to the wise One time let me do things One time my own way I've sweat blood just to please you How much can I pay? I feel I'm being smothered Your hands outstretched to my face Clasped in prayer around my throat I'll die in your embrace Try to stop just long enough And look into my eyes Push me and I'll push right back Can't you realize Holding back is all that's tough Word to the wise Push me and I'll push right back Cut you down to size One time let me do things One time my own way I've sweat blood just to please you How much can I pay? I feel I'm being smothered Your hands outstretched to my face Clasped in prayer around my throat I'll die in your embrace Try and stop just long enough And look into my eyes Push me and I'll push right back Word to the wise. 09. Strangeface
The lines are all shut down
And your eyes are turned away I can tell I'm getting nowhere With the words I say Words falling on deaf ears As you dream of something new I know you're going nowhere And nothing I can do Nobody promised you life in hell You're not dreaming You whispered for someone to help Now you're screaming Now, I see the loss in your eyes I know the hows and the whys I've seen the lows and the highs This strangeface staring at me You would never believe me Thought the truth was for other ones Look for solace in your use And find another one Clouds weeping tears of rain Someday you'll feel the sun Can't wash away the pain for you The forgotten one Hanging over rocks below Cold wind blowin' Covering tracks left in the snow No one knowing Now, I see the loss in your eyes I know the hows and the whys I've seen the lows and the highs This strangeface staring at me Nobody could see through What you had turned into You're reclusive, elusive, abusive The truth is you're lying, crying, denying, and dying Now, I see the loss in your eyes I know the hows and the whys I've seen the lows and the highs This strangeface staring at me A stranger lives in your eyes The web you've spun out of lies The time has passed for goodbyes This strangeface you despise. 10. Catharsis
[Instrumental]
11. Sit, Stand, Kneel, Prey
Looking out through stained glass eyes
Strange faces feeding me lies Making the masses believe Better to give than receive Maybe I don't want to be Part of the hypocrisy But I find it hard to see Past the fact you're killing me Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint me! Prey! Exploit thee! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint thee! Prey! Destroy me! Now I've got nowhere to run Can't take back things that I've done Always obeyed what they say Always forbade me to stray And what if I did believe? Would I just be the next deceived? In your depraved carnality Fall empty words from up your sleeve Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint me! Prey! Exploit thee! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint thee! Prey! Destroy me! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint me! Prey! Exploit thee! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint thee! Prey! Destroy me! Molded you into their ways The meek shall inherit their graves Maybe I don't want to be A part of the hypocrisy A thousand years of tyranny Can never make your blind man see! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint me! Prey! Exploit thee! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint thee! Prey! Destroy me! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint me! Prey! Exploit thee! Sit! Beside you! Stand! Deride you! Kneel! Anoint thee! Prey! Destroy me! |
