Tracks



01. Damned If You Do

Stealing from you everything you wanted
Pay the price in everything you do
Can't escape 'cause you are being haunted
Loving everything I stole from you

Falling, falling out of view
It's calling, calling all of you
You're damned if you do

Cast a spell and blind you to reflection
Seeing only what I want you to
There is nothing in me but deception
Believing everything I want you to

Falling, falling out of view
It's calling, calling all of you
You're damned if you do
Do

Falling, falling out of view
It's calling, calling all of you
Falling, falling out of view
It's calling, calling all of you
You're damned if you do

Hum
Damned if you do
Hum
Damned if you do
Hum
Damned if you do
Hum
Damned if you do
Hum
Damned if you do
Damned if you do

02. The Black Things

You're playing with your magic cards
And laughing at the dark
The devil sends his best regards
To your own amusement park

For now it's all just fun and games
And none of this is real
Until you find yourself in chains
'Cause you just spin that wheel

You have no idea and you don't know what it means
You're just a puppet on a string
Just because you don't know what these little games will bring
You've been messing with the black things, black things

There is no truth inside the night
That light will soon reveal
And step by step you walk the line
A pain you will never feel

Behind the curtain evil grows
It's time to pull it back
We've got the devil on the run
And he's never coming back

You have no idea and you don't know what it means
You're just a puppet on a string
Just because you don't know what these little games will bring
You've been messing with the black things, black things

You have no idea and you don't know what it means
You're just a puppet on a string
Just because you don't know what these little games will bring
You've been messing with the black things, black things

03. By The Numbers

Living my life by the numbers
Counting backwards every day
Seeing things a little clearer
I've been watching every day

I hear you screaming, get off of my back
I hear it every day
How will it feel when your world's turning black?
How can it feel so good?

'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers
Living
Living by the numbers
'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers

Looking for the signs and wonders
Live your life in disarray
When you look into the mirror
Do you have to look away?

When will I stop living life in the black
I'm dead, I continue to plea
Why does it feel like a knife in the back?
Why can't I just walk away?

'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers
Living
Living by the numbers
'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers

Never again
Never again
Yeah

Living my life by the numbers
Counting backwards every day
Seeing things a little clearer
I've been watching every day

I hear you screaming, get off of my back
I hear it every day
Why does it feel like a knife in my back?
Why can't I just walk away?

'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers
Living
Living by the numbers
'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers

'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers
Living
Living by the numbers
'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers

'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers
Living
Living by the numbers
'Cause you're living
Living by the numbers

04. Revolution Underway

From the falling of the night
To the coming of the day
We are in it for the fight
To wish the pain away
And you know it's always right
But you know you're gonna pay
So you get a sharper knife

Revolution underway
Revolution underway
Still a heavy price to pay

In the crosshairs of your sight
You can see the world decay
And you try with all your might
But we're all just jars of clay
Moving at the speed of light
And there's nothing in the way
You know it's gonna change your life
And the change is here to stay

Revolution underway
Revolution underway
Revolution underway
Still a heavy price to pay

Revolution underway
Revolution underway
Revolution underway
Still a heavy price to pay

05. Guillotine

When the whole wide world around you crumbles to the sea
I don't know what it might mean to me
If you look around you'll find that freedom isn't free
Just look up, you'll find you're on your knees

It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance you will pay

If everything you thought was real turns out to be so wrong
Will you still say that my mind is gone?
Will you sit in silence and get programmed by the screen?
We'll never know we're in the guillotine

It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance you will pay
Losing time
Lose your mind
Forever you have thrown it all away
Away

'Cause when I feel like movin'
You know what they say
Don't mess with me 'cause I am here to stay
'Cause I don't think it's funny
When you walk away
Your memories will haunt me
To this day

When the whole wide world around you crumbles to the sea
Just look up, you'll find you're on your knees

It's a crime
You crossed the line
And to this day of penance you will pay
Losing time
Lose your mind
Forever you have thrown it all away
Away

06. Rot Away

Do you feel in the middle?
Do you feel kinda strange?
Do you feel just a little lost, insane?

Do you take everything for granted?
When i'm speaking your name
All the seeds you have planted, seeds you have planted
Rot away?

Do you feel lack of solace
When you're locked in your cage?
Can you feel your emotions
Slip away?

All your views, they are slanted
In a self-serving way
All the seeds you have planted, seeds you have planted
Rot away?

All the things you've had to say
Spit them out, I'll take them anyway
No one here gets out alive
I have known all of those who've tried
Trust me, I know all of those who've tried

Do you feel in the middle?
Do you feel kinda strange?
Do you feel just a little lost, insane?

Do you take everything for granted?
When i'm speaking your name
All the seeds you have planted, seeds you have planted
Rot away?

All the things you've had to say
Spit them out, I'll take them anyway
No one here gets out alive
I helped out all of those who've tried

Tired of things you've had to say
Spit them out, I'll take them anyway
No one here gets out alive
I helped out all of those who've tried
Trust me, I know all of those who've tried

07. Into The Fold

He's burning through the distant mist again
To find what's missing in his soul
Into the blinding light, eternity
The rim of hell he will patrol

And so he brings us, all into the fold
Relentless advocate to the stories that he's told
There is no ending to the lies that you've been sold
Whispering his lies on into the fold
Into the fold

He tells us that we all shall live again
We only hear the thunderstorm
We will defeat the evil enemy
And drive them back into their holes

And so he brings us, all into the fold
Relentless advocate to the stories that he's told
There is no ending to the lies that you've been sold
Whispering his lies on into the fold
Into the fold

And so he brings us, all into the fold
Relentless advocate to the stories that he's told
There is no ending to the lies that you've been sold
Whispering his lies on into the fold
Into the fold
Into the fold

08. Monkey Finger

Too many people are walkin' around
Too many people are dead in this town
And all you people are dressing like clowns
And it's bringing me down

I see you out there and you're like a disease
You point your finger of judgement with ease
You're on the street and you ain't workin' for free
And it's bringing me down

I see where all this is going
I've seen it all
I see what you don't wash away
And it's about to fall
It's about to fall

Still you point your monkey finger
Still you point your monkey finger

You're using words and then you change what they mean
It doesn't matter, it's just a smoke screen
And your reality is just a bad dream
And it's bringing me down

I hear your voices while you scream at the sky
And I bet you don't even know why
Why not listen, why not give it a try?
And the pig's so divine

I see where all this is going
I've seen it all
I see what you don't wash away
And it's about to fall
It's about to fall

Still you point your monkey finger
Still you point your monkey finger

I see where all this is going
I've seen it all
I see what you don't wash away
And it's about to fall
It's about to fall

Still you point your monkey finger
Still you point your monkey finger
Still you point your monkey finger
Still you point your monkey finger

09. Out Of Balance

When you have balance and sleep through the night
Then you will feel everything is alright
Follow the leader and lead you astray
And when you hear me get out of my way

There is a reason that we're here tonight
Injection of power to get in the fight
Where we go when we go, all you will see
Taking it back, no apology

When you're feeling low and you feel you're out of balance
Out of balance
When there's time to kill, you know you will be out of balance
Out of balance
Out of balance

Now they say nothing that you need to hear
The more that you listen, insanity's clear
Calling them out for their dark, evil ways
Then you will know it's the end of all days

When you're feeling low and you feel you're out of balance
Out of balance
When there's time to kill, you know you will be out of balance
Out of balance

When you're feeling low and you feel you're out of balance
Out of balance
When there's time to kill, you know you will be out of balance
Out of balance
Out of balance

When you're feeling low and you feel you're out of balance
Out of balance
When there's time to kill, you know you will be out of balance
Out of balance

When you're feeling low and you feel you're out of balance
Out of balance
When there's time to kill, you know you will be out of balance
Out of balance
Out of balance
Out of balance
Out of balance
Out of balance

10. The War Electric

I don't think that you believe me
I don't think you care
'Cause if you did you wouldn't be so scared
You don't think there's any future
You just sit and stare
Just have a seat in my electric chair

Electrify
Feel it in the air
Endless Supply
Catch you unaware
Electrical warfare

Plug yourself into the grave now, from inside you'll cook
You'll never take your time to take a look
You can't think, your hands are sweating
A chance you knew you took
The more you fight the deeper sets the hook

Electrify
Feel it in the air
Endless Supply
Catch you unaware
Electrical warfare

Electrify
Feel it in the air
Endless Supply
Catch you unaware
Electrical warfare
