01. Honey From A Knife

I was runnin´ down Lafayette
My bloody shirt soaked through
She´s got me runnin´
I was beaten and confused
On a New York City ruse
She´s got me runnin´
My filthy hands and feet
On a dirty city street
She´s got me runnin´
Like a banshee no one cares
With the heart of a beaten dog
She´s got me runnin´

My wild Indian heart was poundin´
I was runnin´ so fast
My wild Indian heart was poundin´
I was runnin´ so fast

We got the drugs we got the drugs
We got the drugs the drugs in here
We got the drugs we got the drugs
We got the drugs the drugs in here

All the children lovin´ the camera
Turn their face into the light
She´s got me runnin´
Can you take the pace much faster
Lickin´ honey from a knife
She´s got me runnin´

My wild Indian heart was poundin´
I was runnin´ so fast
My wild Indian heart was poundin´
I was runnin´ so fast

Let the water out let it all out
Yeah I´m drownin´ get me out of this place
Let the water out let it all out
While I´m drownin´ get me out of this place
Let it out let it out let it out let it out
Let the water out let it all out
Yeah I´m drownin´ get me out of this hell

We got the drugs we got the drugs
We got the drugs the drugs in here
We got the drugs we got the drugs
We got the drugs the drugs in here
We got the drugs we got the drugs
We got the drugs the drugs in here
We got the drugs we got the drugs
We got the drugs the drugs in here

Call it own it fucked up children

02. Elemental Light

I run into the wild places I´m so alive
Search for the others traces I´m so alive

Everyone of us feels alone inside
Everyone of us has forgotten our way

I run into those wild places and I feel so alive

04. Life>Death

You break the man
Leave his shell on the ground
What have you done
With your own life your world

Shared everythin´ I´ve been
Speak everythin´ I´ve seen
So kill your jealousy
And what you believe

You can´t destroy them
The beauty and the youth
You´ll never beat them
You´ll never hide the truth
You can´t destroy them
The beauty and the youth
You´ll never beat them
You´ll never hide the truth

I lay down with the beasts on the ground
Where prophets cry
In every tear a prayer forever

Shared everythin´ I´ve been
Speak everythin´ I´ve seen
So kill your jealousy
And what you still believe

You can´t destroy them
The beauty and the youth
You´ll never beat them
You´ll never hide the truth

Destroy destroy destroy it all
What I don´t understand
Why you destroy everythin´
So beautiful in your hand yeah

The essence of a man
We´ll weave a golden noose
And hang you from the stars

Hey now the lightnin´ and the fight
Hey now the power and the glory
And hey now hey now you can make it right
Hey yeah gotta make me fight
And hey now gotta make it now

05. The Wolf

Black hearts and devils in the night
Mean streets raised me up to fight
I´m a lover but I been known quick to strike
You think you know me
Oh but you´re never right

Don´t be deceived by the liars
Caught in the jaws and the flame
I´ve been consumed by the trials
These wicked teeth that hold my name
That hold my name that hold my name oh

Pages burn I watch the words ignite
My heart feels beyond this strife
Look into the black jaws of the night
Take back what I lost and

I´ll give my heart to the heavens
I´ll give my heart to the light yeah
To the light hey hey yeah

Don´t be deceived by the liars
Caught in the jaws and the flame
I´ve been consumed by the trials yeah eah
These wicked teeth that hold my name
That hold my name that hold my name

06. Amnesia

Save what you learn
Suspicion sure to return

Say my language is rough
All my senses are torn
Feel my demons return
It´s all comin´ back to me
I was born of the underground
Orphan of Altamont
Sure no neanderthal
No matter what they think

Save what you learn suspicion returns
Save what you learn
Suspicion sure to return

Say my legs are weak
Sweat poured out of me
Shock of the army lost my identity
Her words brought it back to me
No room on the ghats for free
Became a hawk and flew
Into the open blue

Save what you learn suspicion returns
Save what you learn
Suspicion is sure soon to return

Black to come temote control
Against the world
Against the tomb against it all
Against it all oh oh oh oh oh

09. A Pale Horse

Behold a grey horse
Death rides a pale horse
A crimson robed rider
With a whip in my hand
You in denim and leather
So louche and confused
With a wave of my hand

Gonna live to regret it

10. This Night In The City Forever

All my friends are drunk
Innocence a flame will I see them again
I dream of dreams to come
An´ temples built with love a ronin not a slave

These city lights of fame
Call to me again like diamonds in the rain
Where prophets tag their name
Her rivers filled with shame
Few faces stay the same

Time will never end lords of truth ascend
My scars I´ll show again
My fireworks ignite ah spirit now takes flight
And how the glory came

I don´t mess around
Throw your weapon to the ground
My witches gather round
They laugh but make no sound

I´m runnin´ in the black light
My skull in flame ooh ooh ooh in the night
Pull out your knife pull out your knife

We can make it right

Black skull in flame power and the glory
The glory and the power
We can make it right
