Well they say that we are tragic
And they say we're born to lose You're the misfit, I'm the sinner You're the heathen, I'm the fool But today you'll be the master or the slave It's up to you Oh, my beautiful disaster Take me any way you choose Don't fight it Ignite it This much I'm sure I think it's time to set this world on fire I think it's time to push it to the edge Burn it to the ground and trip the wire It may never be this good again It's like a new religion Speak in tongues Come see the light Do not trip on inhibitions That will only waste my time Let me tempt you with the evils Of the flesh and so much more Like a Babylon redeemer Like a pusher, like a whore Just try it, you'll like it I'll give you more I think it's time to set this world on fire I think it's time to push it to the edge Burn it to the ground and trip the wire It may never be this good again It's so dark, I can't see All the truth inside us All I want is to feel something That's real before the end Close the door Turn the key Do you like what you see? Kill the lights Come to me Set it off tonight Baby, just like fire and gasoline I think it's time to set this world on fire I think it's time to push it to the edge I'm so fucking bored, so trip the wire It may never be this good again Just trip the wire This world's on fire Just trip the wire It may never be this good again 02. Shadow Life
A shadow life
Will only break your heart It steals the light And tears us all apart Like a shadow in the dark I know you're living in a shadow life Better watch your step Should you stumble You're gonna fall Cause dirty secrets are the killing kind Rope around your neck It's a wonder you breathe at all You turn a blind eye and I hold on You're a fool, will it ever change? Why can't you ever see? The shadow life Will only break your heart Like I said before It steals the light And tears us all apart Like a shadow in the dark I can feel it when you're under me There is something else There is something I can't let go Never silence to the misery Feel it in your sex Every time that we're all alone And still you just deny it all But I can't take this anymore But I can't turn away The shadow life Will only break your heart Like I said before It steals the light And tears us all apart Like a shadow in the dark It's coming It's coming It haunts us and tears us apart Just like a shadow in the dark You're a shadow in the dark The shadow life Will only break your heart Like I said before It steals the light And tears us all apart Like a shadow in the dark I feel it when you're under me There's a dirt secret to this misery, yeah The shadow life Will only break your heart Like a shadow in the dark You're a shadow in the dark 03. Automatic Overdrive
My baby's high
She's in overdrive She's a fiend out on the floor She's a shot of pain She's a drop dead paramour She comes around and she turns it out Her disease I can't ignore Puts it to the red like I've never seen before But it's alright Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive Rolling all night Never slowing down 'til she sees the light She always says she's sick and tired Of the pressure and the pain Bearing down on her like a ten ton suicide How many times I tell her If she keeps running at this pace She'll be long run out before she can ever reach the line But it's alright Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive Rolling all night Never slowing down 'til she sees the light She's runnin' free She's runnin' hot That's all she needs to reach the top She's so obscene She's all I've got My motor queen don't ever stop Oh I wanna do it again Cause it's alright Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive Rolling all night Never slowing down 'til she sees the light But it's alright Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive Rolling all night Never slowing down 'til she sees the light But it's alright Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive Rolling all night She ain't slowing down til she scores tonight 04. Wicked Stone
Last night in paradise
I can feel it down in my bones Left the good lord behind Now I die on the vine Waiting for my redemption song I am never safe Just a walking bomb In a midnight rage Then I'm gone I'm getting off this wicked stone Cause I can't see And I can not deny that all I want is lost No I can't face another night on this wicked stone I roll and tumble down And I curse 'til the morning light From the mountain I fell to the depths of a hell I was destined and born to find Once a rolling stone Now a falling star Was so close to home Now so far I'm getting off this wicked stone Cause I can't see And I can not deny that all I want is lost No I can't face another night on this wicked stone You might say I'm good for nothing And I might say that you are right Can I crawl away from this ball and chain? It's got me tethered to a world of pain I'm digging my own grave this time On this wicked stone tonight I'm getting off this wicked stone Cause I can't see And I can not deny that all I want is lost No I can't face another night on this wicked stone 05. 30 Years To Life
So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told For what could be your destiny You never know I never meant to be here I never even tried But I tell you now when you're lost and down You'll come to trouble in time It was a cold December A Rip City night In a steel-toed rage, made a big mistake Now I'll be doing time I was running with the order I was running out of time Now for me there is no quarter I don't wanna be here I don't wanna die Serving 30 years to life What I did, I can't deny Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade I remember it so well The night I sent that boy to Hell Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways They sent me on a mission Out to earn my stripes Should've known damn well when the curb stomp fell Things would never be right I was running with the order I was running out of time Now for me there is no quarter I don't wanna be here I'm really not surprised Serving 30 years to life What I did, I can't deny Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade I remember it so well The night I sent that boy to Hell Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways 'Cause now I know, now I know I was wrong and I can't let this go I know, now I know I am sorry, what a wretched soul Oh, what a big mistake Now I'm growing old 18 years with more to go I waste away in this cage I'm all alone That's how the story goes This is a tale that must be told For what could be your destiny You'll never know 'Cause when you're running with the order You're only running out of time Now for me there is no quarter I didn't wanna be here I don't wanna die Serving 30 years to life What I did, I can't deny Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade My regret, I know it well But it's too late to save myself Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways So the story goes This is a tale that must be told For the sorrow in my heart will never fade So the story goes This is a tale that must be told Yes, I'm sorry for the error of my ways 06. Bent To Fly
Mama don't you cry
Don't you worry I can not stay here any longer The time has come to find a distant calling That only seems to get much stronger And I know it's hard To see the one you've come to lean on make his way Far beyond the womb But I can't stay I won't stop running I'm only getting closer To getting off the ground this time The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders Won't let this chance pass me by Mama I'm bent to fly Remember yesterday Before the storm Before the innocence was lost I promised I would stay forever more But every boy, in time, moves on Your wounds will heal some day This I know But I am restless and so torn Mama I can't stay here anymore I won't stop running I'm only getting closer To getting off the ground this time The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders Won't let this chance pass me by Mama I'm bent to fly I can feel it coming A perfect storm is rising Gotta say my last goodbye Mama I'm bent to fly Mama don't you cry Don't you worry I can not stay here any longer I won't stop running I'm only getting closer To getting off the ground this time The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders Won't let this chance pass me by Mama I'm bent to fly Mama I'm bent to fly I can feel it coming A perfect storm is rising I gotta say my last goodbye 07. Stone Blind
Stone blind
In the dark Vision of beauty with an ugly heart Stone blind to everything about her Oh yeah! She pulled the wool over my eyes Put the last nail in my coffin and robbed me blind It's the truth, I can't deny Only feeds off good intentions Has you beg for second sights She's got me stone blind In the dark Vision of beauty with an ugly heart Stone blind to everything about her She always comes on way too strong And the world fills up with fire Man, she's gone My double-talking debutante In a hustle she will own you 'Til she gets all that she wants She's got me stone blind In the dark Vision of beauty with an ugly heart Stone blind to everything about her She's such a wicked thing And though I've seen it all before I'm in the dark again The woman's gone away She's got me stone blind In the dark Vision of beauty with an ugly heart Stone blind to everything about her About her She's got me stone blind In the dark Vision of beauty with an ugly heart Stone blind to everything about her Stone blind She pulled the wool over my eyes Stone blind She shot me down and robbed me blind Stone blind And now I'm begging her for second sights She's got me stone blind 08. Too Far Gone
A kingdom lost, a ransom paid
A dying wish, you got your way Your foolish pride, a bitter rage Brought to dust and laid to waste Your empire lost with nothing gained How could you let it fall? Now it's all been decided There is nothing you can do You're too far gone But it's always the same old song There ain't nothing left to prove You're too far gone Burn your bridges to the ground Throw your tantrums, scream out loud Play the martyr, play the fool Tell the world it wasn't you Who pulled the trigger in the end Like you know you always do Now it's all been decided There is nothing you can do You're too far gone But it's always the same old song There ain't nothing left to prove You're too far gone Now it's all been decided There is nothing you can do You're too far gone But it's always the same old song There ain't nothing left to prove You're too far gone You're too far gone 09. Beneath The Savage Sun
It was a blood red summer
One I can't forget When you took the one thing All in this world I had left For I will remember Until the end of time If it takes forever Retribution will be mine This I know In the end But I wanted you to know that I won't forget No In the fields you hear us crying For the ones we lost and loved Underneath the savage sun How many killing seasons can you justify? How many dead and bleeding Only for an ivory lie? Was it for the money? Or was it for the thrill? If I could have my way Yours would be the blood I'd spill But I won't Not today 'Cause revenge is best served cold This I know So I'll wait In the fields you hear us crying For the ones we lost and loved Cause the evil never stops, and we keep dying Underneath the savage sun Underneath the savage sun How many bleeding and how many die? All for the greed of an ivory lie When will they see what they've done isn't right? Blood that they spill can not be justified How many bleeding and how many die? Blood that they spill can not be justified This I know In the end But I wanted you to know that I won't forget, no In the fields you hear us crying For the ones we lost and loved Cause the evil never stops, and we keep dying Underneath the savage sun Underneath the savage sun 10. Withered Delilah
You are the clown for what you are
You had to break out every trick you can pull But there comes a time when everything must turn off Back to the start again Back to the place where you come from Stuck out of view My withered Delilah You know it's true that no one cares anymore Stuck out of view You had your time and Now your moment is all but gone Oh it's gone Lost in a daze What have you done? Digging a grave to be your own You're soon to fade But just too blind to let go Of what you had and what you were Irrelevance hurts but you're not alone Stuck out of view My withered Delilah You know it's true that no one cares anymore Stuck out of view You had your time and Now your moment is all but gone So pack your diamond rings All your pretty things And just move along Cause there's always somebody else to replace you When you are gone Stuck out of view My withered Delilah You know it's true that no one cares anymore Stuck out of view You had your time and Now your moment is all but gone Stuck out of view My withered Delilah You know it's true that no one cares anymore Stuck out of view You had your time and Now the moment is all but gone The moment is all but gone The moment is all but gone Oh, it's gone 11. Battleground
One more shot across the bow
One more bullet through the heart You got me bleeding on the ground I got you wounded in the dark Why do we always take this way too far? Surrender tonight this time Save tomorrow Mama, don't you let me down This broken alliance leaves me so hollow And wondering how did the bed that we made Become a battleground? Well the damage has been done I know you hurt, so don't pretend Where we're used to making love Mow we're making war instead Before it's too late Lay your arms down Let me in Surrender tonight this time Save tomorrow Mama, don't you let me down This broken alliance leaves me so hollow And wondering how did the bed that we made Become a battleground? Just hold your fire Long enough to see This ain't how it's supposed to be Once all that we've got is lost The walls will fall Please don't let them fall on me I wanna lay you down Surrender all the sorrow The sorrow Wanna lay you down Surrender 'til it's gone I wanna lay you down Surrender 'til tomorrow Tomorrow Wanna lay you down Surrender 'til it's gone Just surrender 'til it's gone Just surrender 'til it's gone I don't wanna fight no more I can feel it all there I want to tell you right just then and there I don't wanna fight this battle anymore 12.

Iris Of The Storm
I wanna sail into the calm
Where skies are blue and never gone But the rain keeps coming down Tell me, will it ever stop? These waters raise but I stay strong Into the iris of the storm Rise and fall with the tide Carry on Sometimes it's hard to find my place To face the fears that all must face But I keep on holding on I won't let this take me down I'll risk it all to find my way Into the iris of the storm Rise and fall with the tide Carry on Cause there will come a day I know it won't be long I'm gonna prove to the world That I belong No more hurting Skies are breaking The tide is turning I can feel it changing Into the iris of the storm Rise and fall with the tide Carry on Into the iris of the storm Show the world that I was right all along 14. Avalon
Through the miles
I can not escape My fate I know will come in time With my back to the wind I cheat it again with a smile Forged in blood Billowing up The truth I can not speak But I made it back one last time Avalon It's been way too long I can see in your eyes The fire is all but gone Tales untold Never to know Unspeakable until the end All these mysteries I'll never speak of again But, my love I hope you believe Now I'm gonna give you every part of me I am home Avalon It's been way too long I can see in your eyes The fire is all but gone But please keep holdin' on Stay tonight I need your love Don't say goodbye My sweet Avalon Avalon It's been way too long I can see in your eyes The fire is all but gone My sweet Avalon It's been way too long Avalon It's been way too long Avalon 15. The Dissident
And it's not that I'm afraid to die
I stand up for my own There are some things that I can't deny Deep within my soul Don't believe at all In what we're fighting for And I can see that we were wrong And all the bombs keep fallin' In the dead of the night I'm singin' whoa oh oh I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive I'm singin' whoa oh oh Father said it's time to be a man To serve for what you know But my father does not understand My conscience won't let go Don't believe at all In what we're dying for Now I can see that we were wrong And all the bombs keep fallin' In the dead of the night I'm singin' whoa oh oh I guess I never stopped believing that love's still alive I'm singin' whoa oh oh Wanna turn away Wanna turn and walk away Just leave it all 'Cause it's not a place No, it's not a place to stay And all the bombs keep fallin' In the dead of the night I'm singin' Whoa oh oh oh I guess I never stopped believing that love can survive I'm singin' Oh oh oh oh And all the bombs keep fallin' In the dead of the night I'm singin' whoa oh oh I guess I never stopped believing that love's still alive I'm singin' whoa oh oh I'm not afraid to die I stand for my own But I can't deny That we are so wrong 16.

[Instrumental]
17. The Unholy
Evil shadows, they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling To a god so far People, troubled times are coming Still you wonder why I'm running I will take no part I know it was you this time I know it was you this time (evil) I've seen with my own two eyes You lied You lied Unholy, so vile How can you justify a lie? One more sacred alibi Concealing your crimes until the end of time Oh why It's you that should be crucified Echoes of your true intentions Well I guess you failed to mention What was in your heart Now I see it all so clearly What you did to them has nearly Torn us all apart I know it was you this time I know it was you this time (evil) Took them like a sacrifice You lied You lied Unholy, so vile How can you justify a lie? One more sacred alibi Concealing your crimes until the end of time Oh why It's you that should be crucified You say on your knees if you don't believe now Don't question a thing at all Just receive what you're meant to see Now fall on your knees Evil shadows, they are falling And the misty-eyed are calling You will break their hearts Unholy, so vile How can you justify a lie? One more sacred alibi Concealing your crimes until the end of time Oh why It's you that should be crucified The broken, how they cry They only gave you heart and mind How can you justify They loved you Oh father, don't deny You took them like a sacrifice We finally know the truth about you You're unholy So vile How can you justify Oh my, how they loved you Concealing your crimes But now they see this time The blind will deny you |
