Are you a true believer?
'Cause I'm a lucky thief An enchanted deceiver At night we're getting some relief We are the walking disasters Just like the living dead No escape 'til the morning From that freight train in your head Coming awake in the night time The vampires disease The streets ain't safe for those who sleep Chorus: Going fast and living cheap Where we're from we don't need sleep at all When you're riding on the dawn Going fast and living cheap Nevermind the writings on the wall When you're riding on the dawn There is no ever after There's only now until The next speed fueled disaster Time's moving on you're standing still We're always out marauding Forever breaking night Look what the devil brought in Flesh wounds of love or from a fight Coming awake in the night time The vampires disease The streets ain't safe for those who sleep Chorus: Going fast and living cheap Where we're from we don't need sleep at all When you're riding on the dawn Going fast and living cheap Nevermind the writings on the wall When you're riding on the dawn Solo Chorus 02. A Funeral For The World
Watch us build our funeral pyre
To say goodbye to all that we know Fan the flames as they grow higher Leave the Earth to bathe in fire We hear the darkness fall Into the empty void of it all Left the place a total wreckage Cities stand at the bottom of seas Gravity does not possess us Watch the Earth reel from a far As blood crystallizes Into a garnet red dust Ashes to ashes we drowned in the sea Something for nothing, that's what we believed Decaying metal and sulfurous rust Came ashes to ashes and dust to dust It's always been a thirsty world The wicked winds of change they have come Ice melts and sea levels rising Rust in the perpetual engine Lunatics control the asylum We share a lust for survival Ashes to ashes we drowned in the sea 'Cause something for nothing, that's what we believed Decaying metal and sulfurous rust Came ashes to ashes and dust to dust Ashes to ashes we drowned in the sea 'Cause something for nothing, that's what we believed 'Cause decaying metal and sulfurous rust Then ashes to ashes 03. Demoness
People talking about her but no one can see
The power she has upon us is destroying me In love with rock and roll Losing all control Making out with the devil that you know And sin begets a sin And God's not listening You've been reduced By the last kiss of the demoness It's just not in her nature to set us free There's a chain around my neck always tethering me In love with rock and roll Losing all control Making out with the devil that you know And sin begets a sin And God's not listening You've been reduced By the last kiss of the demoness With your back against the wall Win or lose you'll take a fall Right or wrong you're back again Fight or flight it's all the same Still you're coming back for more No regrets, sleep on the floor North remembers falling North remembers falling down People talking about her but no one can see There's a chain around my neck always tethering me In love with rock and roll Losing all control Making out with the devil that you know Well sin begets a sin And God's not listening You've been reduced By the last kiss of the demoness 04. Collateral Damage
There's a ghost in the woods
He's after your girls Taking them off into a dead world Taking no prisoners, leave no witnesses, collateral damage Governments, warlords, drug cartels Numbed to the pain and you train them to kill Foot soldiers are a never ending stream 'Cause the price is cheap and supply is plenty There's a road block ahead They're after your ride It's hunting season and there's nowhere to hide Taking no prisoners, leave no witnesses Collateral damage Governments, warlords, drug cartels You're numbed to the pain and you train them to kill Foot soldiers are a never ending stream 'Cause the price is cheap and supply is plenty Poisoned well, dead end street It's hard to tell what a good life means Poison the well, dead end street Drawing from a leaded stream Call this, the civilized world, good and evil's on its knees Reeling from the human disease And the sole creation is misery (collateral damage) In this, the civilized world, good and evil's on its knees Reeling from the human disease And the sole creation is misery (collateral damage) My head is pounding war drums Sentenced to the ultimate silence Will fight you to the death and Laugh as you choke on your own blood And directed to kill, directed to hate Never been touched by the hands of human kindness The price of life is dropping Sentenced to the ultimate silence Kill fast and show us mercy Or laugh as you choke on your own blood And directed to kill, directed to hate Never been touched by the hands of human kindness In this, the civilized world, good and evil's on its knees Reeling from the human disease And the sole creation is misery You are doomed to repeat it Call this, the civilized world, good and evil's on its knees Reeling from the human disease And the sole creation is misery (collateral damage) 05. Faith Healers
Put your faith in a sanctified healer
Someone who would know what to do Didn't know it was a real death dealer Playing God with the truth I got my eyes on you Death dealer with the ultimate truth Pump her full of bad bad medicine Body calls a truce Sometimes I've seen this happen Said the doctor to the girl Such a shame such a nice nice person Has to leave this world Well I've got my eyes on you Death dealer with the ultimate truth You pump her full of bad bad medicine Surrender call a truce And then the rains came falling hard Roses dying on the vine and Roots are taking up the charge And then the rains came falling hard The skies could not control their crying Roots are taking up the charge And then the rains came falling hard Roses dying on the vine and Roots are taking up the charge And then the rains came falling hard The skies could not control their crying Roots are taking up the charge 06. No Religion
We walk this path alone
Threadbare with empty chest See a man dead in the saddle I'll take his horse, hope for the best And through us all it travels One toll of an ancient bell Ripples through time everlasting Like coins in a wishing well So you don't like them folks none Blow 'em off with the butt of your gun Leaving scars for the generations Not aware what it's doing to you Just scrape yourself off the sole of their shoes And all the time there's a gun in your wallet When I make my last decision It will be with no religion Ground will take me back again The Moon receives our spirits risen One sound goes on forever A tie that binds us all We'll stitch it back together With silver needles and silver thread And through us all it travels A toll of an ancient bell Ripples through time everlasting Like coins in a wishing well Hard won, hard fought wars Find out what heaven was made for Knocking hard on the iron clad doors Not aware what it's doing to you Just scrape yourself off the soles of their shoes And all the time there's a gun in your wallet When I make my last decision Ain't gonna be with no religion Ground will take me back again The Moon receives our spirits risen Lord please spare me your religion It always seems that I'm in chains It seems to lack all of your wisdom To live my life with wealth as my king Someone always needs to be in chains For those on top to be untouchable I find that challenging to my faith And slipping through an open door Better watch your back for sure Lord please spare me your religion It always seems that I'm in chains It seems to lack all of your wisdom To live my life with wealth as my king 07. Massive Deceiver
All across the bloodstained
Battlefields of time Same innocent faces, same corrupted minds Buying all the reasons, forgiving all the lies There have always been Just fools for the massive deceiver Make way for the massive deceiver He'll take your brain and then he'll rob you blind Common sense is for the evil believers He'll take your soul and then he'll leave you alive, yeah Riding out on the warpath But you're asleep at the wheel Riding out on the warpath Don't be asleep at the wheel All the fields of crosses in their perfect lines Same innocent faces, same corrupted minds Buying all the reasons, forgiving all the lies We have always been Just fools for the massive deceiver Make way for the massive deceiver He'll take your soul and then he'll rob you blind Common sense is for the evil believers They'll take your heart and then they'll leave you alive, yeah Riding out on the warpath Don't be asleep at the wheel Riding out on the warpath Cause you're asleep at the wheel Riding out on the warpath Don't be asleep at the wheel Riding out on the warpath Cause you're asleep at the wheel 08. Die Trying
Ghost winds after midnight
Or could it be The coy wolves calling out Catch your scent through the trees Still point that shatters Through time and space Cuts to what matters Instincts you can't replace If you travel by moonlight Travel with no fear Those demons won't know that you're here But if you run in the daylight, you risk it all Those dogs of war they smell the fear Rise together We all stand or fall until We die trying Ghost winds in a dark night Or could it be The coy wolves calling out Catch your scent through the trees Still point that shatters Time and space Cuts to what matters Instincts you can't replace If you travel by moonlight Travel with no fear Those demons won't know that you're here Rise together We all stand or fall until We die trying You turn the wheel, and the oarman strikes the oar We set off to forever from an open shore You turn the wheel, and the oarman strikes the oar But we set off to forever from an open shore |
