Yeah, send your crowd to a foreign land
Baby, I got by and don't you understand
Took you home, your car I can't afford to buy it
What's it gonna take to make you riot

Send your sons and your daughters to the [prison sin]
Come on, to me you're an American
But get a flag in the bunch I will surely supply it
What's it gonna take to make you riot

Yeah I told you
Live in fear till you call my name
And I sold you
And you're still playing my game

What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take

Do you fear your God or your brother man
No God I know would ever take you in
Take your gun for your gun now it's time to try it
What's it gonna take to make you riot?

Look to me, is this a brand new fire
The killer of all produce all decay
I'm cutting the lights and cannot stay quiet
What's it gonna take to make you riot

Yeah I told you
Live in fear till you call my name
And I sold you
And you're still playing my game

What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take

Yeah you forget your rights and I forget your name
You're gonna keep on paying 'cause you're all the same
This is the master's voice don't you dare defy it
What's it gonna take to make you riot

Yeah, swing of the ride, baby all the way
I'll be dancing with the devil I fear's my [day]
I sold my soul to any fool who'd buy it
What's it gonna take to make you riot

Yeah I told you
Live in fear till you call my name
And I sold you
And you're still playing my game

What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take

All is forgotten or stolen or sold
All that remains is a boy growing old
In the memory of something without a name
A thousand excuses for staying the same

Where is the fire that raged in his soul
Buried now in a deep dark hole
Forgotten like his story and your name

Hey Johnny, run and take my hand
I remember I am still your man
Another round and don't say when
Till we hit the ground and ride again
Nothing changes, nothing stays the same

Yeah, here is your box with lightning and dreams
Here's to the thunder, remember the screams
Of a thousand times twenty they call your name
No one's forgotten, they carry the flame

Waiting for someone to bring his soul home
A [chunk] in black leather a king in [chrome]
To save save the world and start it all again

Hey Johnny, run and take my hand
I remember I am still your man
Another round and don't say when
Till we hit the ground and ride again
Nothing changes and nothing stays the same

We kept all the pictures of good times and bad
You drove us all crazy the world drove you mad
I hear it inside you a gathering scream
A fire eternal and all that's supreme

Would you be king again just for a day
We live like worms or so they say
And then we never pass this way again

Hey Johnny, run and take my hand
I remember I am still your man
We're waiting now, we still believe
Do you have one ace left up your sleeve
Nothing changes, nothing stays the same

Burn the night to fear the day.
Daylight comes and burns it all away
just like the ocean haze,
so the last one thousand days.

Speak to God, I kneel and pray,
no reply, don't know that I am
weaker, stronger, cannot say,
but older by a thousand days.

Crawling - keeps me - from falling...

Moving slow I make my way,
another floor another day.
Never knowing what to blame,
from down here y'all look the same.

Pray the prayer to pass the time,
no time for reason, only rhyme
will fill the page and light the light,
so the last one thousand nights.

Once upon a midnight clear
miles of highway disappeared
into the sky near Gemini,
if you're seeing double, close one eye.

Crawling - keeps me - from falling...

I have been there once before,
but the band played out of tune,
and I did not have a word to tell a story,
'til you saved me with a love so rare
as water on the Moon,
and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sorry...

I have been there once before,
but the music would not play,
though I had a song and then I had a story.
Will you save me when the sun delivers
all another day,
and I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

If I leave I'll be dead by morning, if I stay it's all the same
Insane from a thousand sorrows, what's my name again? I don't know...
Past the graves of a million dreams, swallow all and fade away
What I do or I don't it seems damned all anyway - damned to hell

They called me a fool for my choice of career
I'm the winds of war that will blow you away,
Sure as I'm standing here.
Wings are for angels, wings are for angels

Try to breathe in this ancient wonder, golden days of history,
On spinning blades I'm the god of thunder, what's my name again? That will do?
Flyboys, they get all the glory, working men get what remains
Lost my soul when I sold my story
Here I go again, yes I know?

They call me a fool for my choice of career
I'm the winds of war that will blow you away,
Sure as I'm standing here
Wings are for angels, wings are for angels

Kill your brother if Allah tells you, I will kill what else remains,
For the money my country gave me, what's my name again? Now you know!
Once more to the fields of glory, damn the clouds and burn the sky
Lost my soul when I sold my story
Here we go again, yes I know?

I lost all my friends and I lost all my fear
Nothing left to die for, they told me today,
I'm staying another year...
Wings are for angels, wings are for angels

Take this sword from out my hand,
return me to the motherland.
Day is night and duty done,
now bear me 'cross the river.

Sands surrounds us, let it pass,
a storm within an hourglass.
We rise and fall, time takes it all,
we stand and we deliver.

Now I stand before you,
riven by the choice I've made,
And driven by the voice I prayed
would sing me home to glory.
Who among us knows the day?
Ours is but to pass this way.
In brotherhood we understood,
this battlefield my story.

Should I fall before you, I will feel no shame.
It is the price of war in blood and in flame.
Should you fall beside me, I will do the same,
breathe you deep inside me, and carry your name.

Thrones, Dominions guide my way,
deliver me another day.
Cloak me now in righteousness,
your champion stands alone.

Day of mourning, day of wrath,
All fulfill the prophets path,
Death is struck, all nature quakes
Oh, Father take me home.

Now I stand before you,
riven by the choice I've made,
And driven by the voice I prayed
would sing me home to glory.
Who among us knows the day?
Ours is but to pass this way.
In brotherhood we understood,
this battlefield my story.

I've been waiting, always waiting
I've been waiting, can you hear me
Meditating, meditating
Tired of waiting, don't you know

I've been drinking for days
Got the [stag in the show]
The weekend is near and I'm ready
Aspirations are high but the forms are low
Got to keep it up till I'm steady

One for crying, one for dying
Tired of crying, you'll know [be just]
I've been veering, disappearing
Tired of hearing, here we go

And now I'm truly inspired, and totally frying
I'm a master of everything and I ain't even trying

Sins of the father will shine on your darkest days
Why even bother with life, I know
Or if you'd rather open this amber vial
How many hours till life, I know

I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know

Imitating, disintegrating is
Stimulating, I'm alive
Power steering, disappearing
Hard of hearing, just try

If you've got no future, you've got no friends
You've got no choice, you've got to rise again

Sins of the father will shine on your darkest days
Why even bother with life, I know
Or if you'd rather open this amber vial
How many hours till life, I know

I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know

[Instrumental]

Young blood, you're so impatient
for the feast of good & evil.
The time will come and we'll all begin.
Didn't you think it just a bit baroque,
or maybe it's mediaeval,
we're breaking bones instead of bread within.
Didn't I say it would be different,
your afterlife, the sequel.
This festival of carnage feeds on
large amounts of mortal sin.

Now here's a thought while you're
assuming the position;
will Jesus raise you on the final day?
Didn't you think there'd be a price to pay
for such a grand transition?
This fellowship of ours depends on
centuries of living prey.

One more immortal soul,
draw closer to the fire.
One more companion in murder eternally.

Now here's the part where we
descend into perdition,
far from the world of your imagining.
Didn't you think there would be others
in this rarefied condition?
You want to call yourself a demon,
please address me as the demon king...

One more immortal soul
draw closer to the fire
One more companion in murder eternally.
One thousand years of song
with this unholy choir.
One fallen angel behaving infernally.

The only love that we have to give
will still your heart like a cemetery.
Forever lost to forever live,
be still forever, love...

One more immortal soul...

Insanity, you light up the world for me...

With a song in my heart and a gun in my hand,
waiting for you,
with this secret I keep,
where the sea meets the land,
waiting for you all...

Waiting for the night to begin...
Almost in my sight, this fragrant wind.
The lifeless on parade...

Insanity, return to me,
I'm living in a fever dream.
I burn for you, you scream for me,
there's no one I would rather be right now.

Do you breathe like a man,
is your life not your own?
Waiting for you.
Do you hunger for flesh,
where it lives on the bone?
Waiting for you all...

Waiting for the night to begin, yeah, yeah.
Almost in my sight, this fragrant wind,
The lifeless on parade...

Insanity, return to me,
I'm living in a fever dream.
I burn for you, you scream for me,
there's no one else I'd rather be right now.

Insanity, you light up the world for me.
We rage and we kill, and we call it free will,
we believe in it still.

Insanity, you bring out the man in me.
This demon within, it's evil & sin,
right under your skin.

Insanity, we all are the same, you see.
We fight and we fall, and never recall,
our history is all insanity.

Woke up behind the steering wheel,
wonder if I've gone too far...
Quick shiver, cross against the light,
A curse from a cab in a strange tongue.
Leave my wheels, better let them rest.
The keys like ice in my shaking hands,
from the neon haze to the bar stool maze,
The nightlife, it sure is a strange one...

It's a son of a bitch, when I get that itch,
and here it comes again...

Please call me Whiskey Man,
when the bottle's in my hand.
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!
Another shot at my command.

Feel old but you say I don't look it, yet.
Work so hard trying to hide the miles.
A seekers path, I'm on the heels of glory.
All paths of glory only lead to the grave.
Sweet glory's dancing on yours,
she's always one step ahead.
Well I know that, I'm still ridin' anyway,
a mind is a terrible thing to save...

It's a son of a bitch, when I get that itch,
And here it comes again...

Please call me Whiskey Man,
when the bottle's in my hand.
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!
Another shot at my command.

It was a fine idea long ago, in a time of fine ideas,
when the August night would last into forever.
So we broke the glass and hit the gas
while the Summer filled the trees.
In the day, we two, we were breaking through,
and not dying by degrees.

Like I'm trying to say, wash it all away,
and here I go again...

Running hard from defeat to disaster
I fear no god and I serve no master now.

Pale as skywriting under the moon,
you shine so bright, but the time would not allow...

We were born to live - we were born to fly,
and fly we did, did we ever...
You were born to dance, you were born to fly,
and fly you did, did you ever...

For this to be, it was no to be,
Believed in you, believe in me.

To live in darkness and claim to see,
Believed in you, believe in me.

Ah, no,
This cannot be so...

Running hard from eternal December,
you can't regret what you don't remember now.
I will not stand by your grave side and weep,
you are not there and you do not sleep, I know.

We were born to fly straight into the wall,
and we broke on through to forever.
In the midnight sun we received it all,
but to darkness run, we would never.

For this to be, it was no to be,
Believed in you, believe in me.

To live in darkness and claim to see,
Believed in you, believe in me.

Ah, no,
This cannot be so...

I have run to the land of setting sun.
I for one still believe.
Not for none watch the whole thing come undone,
nothing left but to grieve

I can wait for the tide to close the gate.
I can wait here for years.
Far too late we collide and then we wait,
ashes anger and tears.

For this to be, it was no to be,
Believed in you, believe in me.

To live in darkness and claim to see,
Believed in you, believe in me.

Ah, no,
This cannot be so...

Disposable creatures defiling the night,
receive at my hand the invisible light.
This river of faces, this garden of graves,
it flows and it grows when this boy misbehaves.

Do you hear that song? Now it won't be long,
until we dance the dance
and rid ourselves of everyone.

Yeah, when I hear that sound,
I'm gonna take you down,
to where the river flows and I tend to the garden
where nothing grows.

Echoes on the wind,
faces reflected in mirrored eyes,
another soul I might have been.
Strangers to me now,
Far from this vision of love...

Emerging from shadows, come out of the rain,
abandon your body and give me your pain.

Do you hear that song? Now it won't be long,
until we dance the dance
and rid ourselves of everyone.

When I hear that sound, I'm gonna take you down,
to where the river flows and I tend to the garden
where nothing grows.

Echoes on the wind...

Long ago, just a boy who knew that love is
complicated when your lovers die.
Just a boy who needed love...
