01. Sol Invictus

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Mike Patton
I'm coming Lord, I'm on my way
Worshiping at the altar of know why
Can't remember which God is my wine
Can't repent if I'm wrong impartial
Empty rituals, trinkets and fossils
And now Lord, I'm on my way (my way)
Amen
Peace ain't coming our way
But the sun keeps burning my face
Where's my faith?
My blasphemy
Keep singin'
Lord, I'm on my way
Home
Floorboards and the ceilings are creaking
And the roof is old and leaking
But looking up high to the heavens
How can we declare our independence
From evolution and penance
(Our way)
Sin ain't coming our way
But the sun keeps burning my face
When's my faith renewing today?
I believe in something, I think
Where's my faith
My monastery

02. Superhero

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Michael Bordin, Bill Gould, Mike Patton
Go Go Go Go
Go Go Go Go
Go Go Go Go
Go Go Go Go...
Superhero
I'm tugging on your cape
Tell me will your sons
Know their father one day
Leader of men
Leader of men
Get back in your cage
Will you be one of them?
Like an American drug
Makes a mean cock grow
...kill a priest
Makes a superman of glass
Go Go Go
The S on your chest
You're feeling like a god
An order of animal
We try to find a rod
Superhero, Sensei, Nero, smiling, hiding, riding, flying, sighing, sumo
Leader of men
Leader of men
Get back in your cage
Ain't no grave going to hold this body down
The sun rises here to save us now
Its all erased
Storybook years
Sweet memories
Wash it away
Wash it away
Wash it away
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go!
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Will you be one of them?
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Will you be one of them?
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Will you be one of them?
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Leader of men
Will you be on of them?
Go Go Go...

03. Sunny Side Up

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Mike Patton
I'll be your leprechaun
Shamrock or lucky charm
(Whoa, yeah)
Tap-dancing all alone
(It's ok)
Dip into the sugar bowl
(Whoa, yeah)
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
Such a lovely way to start the day
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
Not the only way to fry an egg
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
I am just a grain of sand on your beach
With all of my heart
All of my Heart
A drop of rain through your hands
Rainbows will bend for me
Curvy
Honey bees will sting for me
Stingin', stingin'
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
Such a lovely way to start the day
Sunny side up
Sunny side up
Dance the night away like Fred Astaire
Come on ride my wave
Ride it all the way
(Sunny side up)
'Til the ocean ends
(Sunny side up)
I'll see you there
(Sunny side up)

04. Separation Anxiety

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Michael Bordin, Mike Patton
Oh, separate the anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety
Oh, separate the anxiety
Hey, you know it's mine
Had love come back
Like it was before
House creaking
The hinges on the door
Thoughts creeping
Oh, separating anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety
Hey, you know it's mine
Separate the anxiety
Hey, you know it's mine
It's like when your mind
Has a mind of it's own
Please take mine
Don't leave me alone
Capture me
Separation anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety
Hey, you know it's mine
I can't let you go
'Cause you're a part of me
Not apart from me
Here's a little sip for me
Well, it's good enough for me
I cannot separate from this anxiety
Come home and make our truce
Violence is what we learned
Listen in reverence
Why it can not pass
If you only make us
Then violence is what we learn
How can I separate
From this anxiety?
Separation anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety, hey
Oh, separate the anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety, hey
Oh, separation anxiety
Hey, separate the anxiety, hey, hey
Separate the anxiety, hey
Separate the anxiety, hey, hey
Closing my eyes
Separation anxiety, hey
Separate the anxiety, hey, hey
Closing my eyes
Separation anxiety, hey
Separate the anxiety, hey
Closing my eyes
Separation anxiety, hey
Separate the anxiety, hey, hey
Closing my eyes
Separation anxiety, hey
Separate the anxiety, hey, hey, hey

05. Cone Of Shame

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Mike Patton
I'd like to peel the skin off
This winter day
I'd like to pull the head off
This summer fling
What love can do when love's lost
Grow overweight
And smile as if
There's nothing left to say
Wear the cone of shame
Town is quiet now
Like it's holding its breath
Stone marks the spot
You know who you are
They outlined it in chalk
Word to the wise
And the barman calls die
I'd like to peel your skin off
So I can see what you really think
Or if there is anything
Under that cone of shame
I'd like to strip the bone off
So I can see how you're really made
And see how you really take
Your special pleasure
I'd like to pull your wings off
Read your lines like a gypsy
Just as lonely as anything
So infinite
Cone of shame covering all
You're only happy when you're pissing me off
Cone of shame covering all
I'm only happy when I'm pissing you off

06. Rise Of The Fall

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Mike Patton, Roddy Bottum
Rise and fall through it all
An Olympus of friends
Highs and lows and the
Broken bros and uh
Losses we'll win
Buildings fall
But we're standing tall
Where only chimneys remain
Beg the law
With a crying jaw
Like a jungle in flames, oh
Game on, game on, game on, game on, game on, game on
Gravity
It pulls the waves
And it creates
And we miss the flame
Every house in town
Burn it down
Burn it all down
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Coming
The moments grow weak
Coming
With gloves at your throat
Burn it
Into the grave
Burn it
The freedom, we'll heat
Burn it
Electrical thing
Burn it
Smell the white flame
Burn it
Smell the white flame
Burn it
Smell your filthy life
Burning
What in is life, lifts us
Up so high
Down to this campfire?
From around the coast
To the junkyards
When will I see you again?

07. Black Friday

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Michael Bordin, Mike Patton
This is only a test
One, two, whatcha gonna do
Three, four, five, twisting your arm and your eye
You will buy
Step right up, donate a memory
To the bank of love, that could loan you your day dreams
Buy it
Buy it
Black Fridays come and go
Buy me a future regret
A shrink-wrapped fantasy
That I won't forget
In an age of the mercenary
In the same home where the river swallows the sea
That's where we'll be
With guns
Buy it
Into the age
Of scrutiny and the grandest frappe
We'll I ain't gunna break
Trimming the tree
I can hang
I won't swing
It's only a test (buy it)
Won't grandma sing (buy it)
Upon your children's graves (buy it)
Hear the angels sing
(All the zombies walk on black Friday)
It's a ride at the salad bar
Predatory lenders
Safari missions far
But you paid for them
To kill your mom
Buy it
Go now (buy it)
(This is only a test)

08. Motherfucker

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Roddy Bottum, Mike Patton
Force fed more than we eat in the wild
Grazed on a mash that could suffocate a child
Bloated, promoted in an ode to pomp and style
Moistened in the feed while we choke upon the bile
Corner in the market on the geese without the bones
Hushing out the public in a strike without a drone
The cage became collapsable
Our sticks equipped with stones
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Hello motherfucker
My lover
You saw it coming

Set aside the scruples in a stratagem of strain
A smallpox-laden blanket
Invisible with stains
Inoculated bastards
Bloody pecked pain
Distemper has a hold
Distemper has a hold
We took a second sip from a cup we made of bones
The first it was a ruse, a trick so aptly thrown
The truth is that our youth was a carpet laid with stones
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Hello motherfucker
My lover
You saw it coming
Goodbye motherfucker
My lover
You had it coming

Get the motherfucker on the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone
Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

09. Matador

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Mike Patton
When your soul stood over me
A future shadow
He boasted and sang to me
Farewell, so long
I'll awake you from this living sleep
We'll walk the shore, where you were born
In bed with me
Pull the white sheet off your face
March forward my son
A battle beyond frozen years
Only for dogs ears
We will rise from the killing floor
Like
A matador
The stained glass
Of bovine eyes
Can see right through
Every tombstone lie
Let us retrace every step
Out of this world
And every ditch
Every ditch
We will be, when you will be
No more
No more
(Will be no more)
The stained glass up the hangman's ass
We served you well, now we're comin' back
Atop the white, crossless ghost we'll jump the gates, live to rise
We will rise
We will rise from the killing floor
Like
A matador
Let the dead live
May the dead live
And the dead live
What more can we give
Let the dead live
May the dead live
And the dead live
'Till they live

10. From The Dead

Music by Faith No More
Lyrics by Bill Gould, Mike Patton
Homecoming parade
Welcome home my friend
There'll be no more sleeping on this forest floor
Open heaven's door
Around you, 'round you
Around you
'round you
'round you
Around you
Comin' 'round the bend
Welcome home my friend
There'll be no more weeping like a canyon gorge
Hear your lion roar
Around you, 'round you
I can see you shining like a morning sun
Hear your lion roar
Hear your lion roar
Around you, 'round you
I can see the parade
Welcome home my friend
We can bag some history on present tome
Watch your watch unwind
We've been turning mysteries to nursery rhymes
Sigils and more signs
Around you
Watch your watch unwind
Back from the dead
I can see you end
Welcome home my friend
