1. Alas
2. Faces
Every day awaken, in my mind, you’re always there
Photographs have been taken, of the crimes
It’s not really fair, we’re living a lie
See the things that I’ve lost, as they hide, in the centre of my mind
Seems we all have been crossed, test of time
It’s not really fair, the leader he lies, he lies
Life has faces, faces that test
Faces of truth, his face is a mess
Faces of love and faces of hate
Faces of death, I can’t wait!!!
Every day he’s pretending, in his mind, he really is not there
Every move that we’re making, puppet minds
It really isn’t fair, the kingdom it dies, it dies!
Life has faces, faces that test
Faces of truth, his face is a mess
Faces of love and faces of hate
Faces of death, I can’t wait!!!
Feel the danger upon you, open wide, it’s always calling
I’m no stranger to hatred, it’s mankind
He’s not really fair, we’re living a lie ‘til we die!
Life has faces, faces that test
Faces of truth, his face is a mess
Faces of love and faces of hate
Faces of death, I can’t wait!!!
Life has faces, faces that test
Faces of truth, his face is a mess
Faces of love and faces of hate
Faces of death, I can’t wait!!!
3. Fade into the X
Across a smoke filled room, connect the spirit minds
Fatal attraction made me blind, two hearts, they pound of thunder
Too late, we’ve reached the other side
Of the bed you’ve made, losing all your space
Mental distraction the true crime
Two sides to every coin, it’s not enough to pay this time
Do you remember, the day before the dream
Now I live this nightmare, ending with a plea
I never thought that you’d be one of them
Atop the list of things that used to be my hope
I see you slowly falling out of my mind, outer side
As you fade into the X
Locked boxes hold the truth, of distant memories
Purest evil of the grind
Heart of burning hunger, drove me out of my mind over matter
Cut of chilling steel
Do you remember, the day before the dream
Now I live this nightmare, ending with a plea
I never thought that you’d be one of them
Atop the list of things that used to be my hope
I see you slowly falling out of my mind, outer side
‘Cuz you fade into the X
I never thought that you’d be one of them
Atop the list of things that used to be my hope
I see you slowly falling out of my mind, outer side
As you fade into the X
As you fade into the X
As you fade into the X
Fade into the X
4. Pisses Me Off
Daytime pisses me off, it starts me off on a wrong foot race
And night time pisses me off, it puts me back to the fucking place
And the face that pisses me off, she leaves a sour after taste
You see, my life pisses me off, I’m fucking sick of the human race
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
Everything pisses me off, from your cue ball head to the Grateful Dead
And the rap star pisses me off, they bitch and moan, Bang! Bang! You’re dead
And the TV pisses me off, reality is a joke to me
‘Cuz my life pisses me off, a complete disgrace this human race
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
Oh, it’s hard to survive
And nothing’s gonna help ya
Please, I can beg to survive
But nothing’s gonna help me
The computer pisses me off, it rules my life, this cyber wife
That e-mail pisses me off, your faceless shit cuts like a knife
Starbucks pisses me off, 5 bucks a cup, what the fuck is up?
‘Cuz my life pisses me off, I’m just a pawn in the human race
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
The terrorist pisses me off, with his fucking beard, the king of the weird
And the war, it pisses me off, the prices rise, the market fries
But the protests pisses me off, you raise your sign and fucking whine
This life it pisses me off, a compluckin’ disgrace this human race
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
Oh, it’s hard to survive
And nothing’s gonna help ya
Please, I can beg to survive
But nothing’s gonna help me now
Here’s the war, raise the sign
Little pussy don’t like it
Freedom of speech, not a crime
Many lives were lost to get here
Land of the free, home of the brave
You all will send us to our graves in time….
This life pisses me off!!
This life pisses me off!!
This life pisses me off!!
This life pisses me off!!
This life pisses me off!!
This life pisses me off!!
Because my life pisses me off, it may be time to up and run
But running pisses me off, I’d rather stay and have some fun
Because my life pisses me off, it feeds my anger happily
‘Cuz happiness pisses me off, wipe your smile off your face fucking human race
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
It’s killing me, it’s killing me
Does your life piss you off?
Does your life piss you off?
Does your life piss you off?
My life pisses me off!!!
5. Remember
Stand at my crossroads, a scary place in my life
I’m not too sure which way is right
I think of my future, as my past it comes to me
But some of them left me in the fight
Please, the distance makes me sigh, when I’m further from you
Love, was destined ‘til that night, the crazy battle of June
Dreams, they still embrace me
Remember, all these little things are coming back to me
Remember the time, when I got to know you
December, all these little scenes are coming back to me
Remember my eyes, they want to show you love
Fear is never in my heart, it lives and dies with you
Time, I can not make it right, I’d turn it back for you
Screams of bleeding heartache
Remember, all these little things are coming back to me
Remember the time, when I got to know you
December, all these little scenes are coming back to me
Remember my eyes, they want to show you love
I never felt this feeling in my life
It exceeded expectations
Distant stars of wonder, feeding to my hunger
Hidden in the thunder, lifting me towards heaven
Remember, all these little things are coming back to me
Remember the time, when I got to know you
December, all these little scenes are coming back to me
Remember my eyes, they want to show you
Remember, all these little things are coming back to me
Remember the time, when I got to know you
December, all these little scenes are coming back to me
Remember my eyes, they want to show you love
6. The Fall
Life for me is changing, court is re-arranging
Heart inside is blaming me
Looking for love in the red light land
Look but don’t touch, the art of man
Doing my time in the world of make believe
Mind takes me home
Blind left alone
Hearts were ailing but I always saved the healing
Minds were laughing, but I always walked into the Fall
Lunatics are taunting, virgin mind distorting
Heart inside escaping me
Looking for fun in the city of lights
Innocent game when you’re out of sight
Doing my time as I wrestle sanity
Mind takes me home
Blind left alone
Hearts were ailing but I never saved the healing
Minds were laughing, but I always walked into the Fall
Of April as I never made it thru the spring to action
Quickly ‘fore the Summer is the Fall
Step back and check out the fool, he really looks a lot like me
And he’s wrapped around the finger, broken every fucking rule
Lock the door, threw away the key
Mind takes me home
Blind left alone
Hearts were ailing but I never saved the healing
Minds were laughing, but I always walked into the Fall
Of April as I never made it thru the spring to action
Quickly ‘fore the Summer is the Fall
7. Music Man
sic Man come set me free
I view time as a fallen angel, once a friend it’s not there for me
Livin’ large in the valley of strangers, just a son of reality
Pure in heart, clear in mind, Music Man come set me free
I spent time eye to eye with danger, felt the ropes reaching out for me
Feeling small in the army of shameless, just a leaf on the family tree
Purest heart, clearest mind, Music Man gonna set me free
The dream’s in her arms
Embraced in her arms
The dream comes alive
Embraces your life
I built walls of a strong foundation, for my friends or they seemed to be
Travel life giving all to strangers, in their smiles it makes me see
Give your heart, open mind, Music Man is the man in me
The dream’s in her arms
Embraced in her arms
The dream comes alive
Embraces your life
Well I’ve testified life in the court of her laws
I’ve battled the axes, the ashes I saw
And I saw them all once and I saw them again in the end
And again, and again, and again, and again and again in life, in life
I view time as a fallen angel, once a friend it’s not there for me
Livin’ large in the valley of strangers, just a son of reality
Pure in heart, clearest mind, Music Man is the man in me
The dream’s in her arms
Embraced in her arms
The dream comes alive
Embraces your life
8. Life, Crazy Life!!!
Lots of crazy gambles, every single day
I fought the fool inside
Just living for the moment, I always find the way
Up and down and through the grind
But it’s hard, it’s hard to pave the way
Yeah it’s hard, it’s hard to stay the sane
‘Cuz my fuel for life is burning the candle at both ends
Life, Crazy Life
Packed up and I’m running, no specific place
I only know it’s time
‘Cuz I’m tired of the waiting
You never win the race
‘Til you cross the finish line
Yeah it’s hard, it’s hard to pave the way
Yeah it’s hard, it’s hard to stay the sane
But it’s such a great sensation, getting better every day
Living the fight and winning the fight
‘Cuz my fuel for life is burning the candle at both end
Life, Crazy Life
Life, Crazy Life
But it’s such a great sensation, getting better every day
Living the fight and winning the fight
As you ride your own creation, chequered flag I’m on my way
Life, Crazy Life
Life, Crazy Life
9. The Mold
You should be dancing!
Desperation feeds you inspiration
Celebration as you heat the station
Desolation in my spirit nation
Violation sparks the inflammation
One and one the attitude
I don’t need this shit from you
Two and two are calling for
Identical the mainstream whore
Three and three it makes me sick
Bowing to the corporate prick
Four and four let’s congregate
And listen while the master baits
Are you aware of the soul
Listen to me as you’re losing control
Up in arms, rising up from the core
It’s time for disband to arise
As it shatters the mold
Ejaculation in co-operation
Corporation gives me aggravation
Designation is no violation
Congregation of the restoration
One and one the attitude
I don’t need this shit from you
Two and two are calling for
Identical the mainstream whore
Three and three it makes me sick
Bowing to the corporate prick
Four and four let’s congregate
And listen while the master baits
Are you aware of the soul
Listen to me as you’re losing control
Up in arms, rising up from the core
It’s time for disband to arise
Are you aware of the soul
Listen to me as you’re losing control
Up in arms, rising up from the core
It’s time for disband to arise
As it shatters the mold
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
One and one the attitude
I don’t need this shit from you
Two and two are calling for
Identical the mainstream whore
Three and three it makes me sick
Bowing to the corporate prick
Four and four let’s congregate
And listen as the master baits
Are you aware of the soul
Listen to me as you’re losing control
Up in arms, rising up from the core
It’s time for disband to arise
Are you aware of the soul
Listen to me as you’re losing control
Up in arms, rising up from the core
It’s time for disband to arise
As it shatters the mold
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
10. Bag O'Bones
Looking back over your chosen path
Every race that you have run
Every regret and piece of ass you hit
Your rather sorry bag of bones
Son of a, son of a
There was no getting over
Some of us, some of us
Got a silver spoon
Son of a, son of a
Take the things really easy
None of us, none of us
Gonna heal your wound
Look at you now
The sun it’s going down
Watch as you fall
Now you’re all just a bag of bones
Hunched on top with the fruits of your crops
A wooden nickel for your pain
Every step by the book, still a company crook
A worthless trip down memory lane
Son of a, son of a
There was no getting over
Some of us, some of us
Got a silver spoon
Son of a, son of a
Take the things really easy
None of us, none of us
Gonna heal your wound
Look at you now
The sun it’s going down
Watch as you fall
Now you’re all just a bag of bones
Son of a, son of a
There was no getting over
Some of us, some of us
Got a silver spoon
Son of a, son of a
Take the things really easy
None of us, none of us
Gonna heal your wound
Look at you now
The sun it’s going down
Watch as you fall
Now you’re all just a bag of bones
Now you’re all just a bag of bones
Now you’re all just a bag of bones
You may be rich, but you’re a son of a bitch
11. Evil Is as Evil Does
You know the faces, you have seen them on the wall
10 different visionaries begging for the call
10 different people, the criminally insane
Countdown to extinction, but still you can’t contain
A rotating force, pulling power from below
Evil is as evil does – evil is as evil does
A million years it always was - a million tears it always was
Evil is as evil does – evil is as evil does
A million tears spilled in blood because
Evil is as evil does!!!
You know the faces, you have seen them on TV
Take away the power, would you ever have believed?
10 different evils conjure evil to appear
Ever think the evil is not all you have to fear?
A rotating force, pulling power from below
Evil is as evil does – evil is as evil does
A million years it always was - a million tears it always was
Evil is as evil does – evil is as evil does
A million tears spilled in blood because
Evil is as evil does!!!
Johnny be good, ‘til Johnny saw bad
Johnny thought the worst was the best friend that he had
Beat the sapling senseless, what will happen to the tree
It will sprout the warped and twisted, take a bite out of the eve
A rotating force, pulling power from below
Evil is as evil does – evil is as evil does
A million years it always was - a million tears it always was
Evil is as evil does – evil is as evil does
One million tears spilled in blood because
Help me – the vermin is coming
Make me – I’m ready and lost
Show me – my father he never
Take me – I’m yours
12. Never
Every life needs a stable inside
Atop the roof to yield the drain
But in your mind you may hide from the world, little girl
Can’t you see that it’s not right, when they fight
Open up our wings, let’s fly together
I never see the tears around me
I never knew ‘til it’s too late
I always felt that you were hurting deep inside
But in time, if you allow, I’ll take the fears away
Every book needs a fable inside
To hide the truth and ease the pain
But in your mind you may hide, from your dreams, kept inside
Can’t you see that it ain’t right, little girl
Open up your wings, let’s fly together
I never see the tears around me
I never knew ‘til it’s too late
I always felt that you were hurting deep inside
But in time, time, time, let’s make the wows and take the fears away
You think it’s destiny, this emptiness eternally
Come take my hand when you’re afraid
You seem to hide the key to happiness eternally
Come with me ‘fore it’s too late
In your mind you may hide, little girl, in your world
I will be there through the fight, little girl
Open up your wing, let’s fly together
I never see the tears around me
I never knew ‘til it’s too late
I always felt that you were hurting deep inside
But in time, time, time, let’s make the wows and take the fears away
13. So Far Today
I know you’re leaving
But I can’t believe it
You gave the reason
But I’m not believing
How do you know when the feeling is gone
Where will you go when it falls and the walls collapse around you
Trusting my faith in the powers above
Fading away is your face from the walls that hang the laughter
I wonder as I look to the sky and she’s…
So far away
So far today
There were days and nights when dreams would come alive
Now the faded visions they fight to survive in me
I blame the mystery
But you shame the history
How can you say that the feeling is gone
How can you claim you’re the one who never meant to hurt me
Losing my faith in the powers above
Fading away is your face from the walls as you desert me
I wonder why I look to the sky and she’s
So far away
So far today
So far away
So far today
There were days and night when dreams would come alive
Now the faded visions they fight to survive in me
So far away
So far today
So far away
So far today
There were days and night when dreams would come alive
Now the faded visions they fight to survive in me
14. Jealousy
People seem to let me know
My little window seems so fogged and cold
Children are taught to love and hate
In the eye of the night, a tear’s embrace
Is there really sunshine
It’s not clear to those who feel pain
It’s so easy speaking, faceless, taunting, precious
Say it, live it, feel it, jealousy
Crosshairs are locked and you load as you mount the attack
Half way across the world a stab in your back
Every single step that I take you’re a humanoid glue
And you say, “You’re an asshole, you’re stuck up, you’re prejudice, you fucked my girlfriend, ya drunk!!”
But listen, at least I’m man enough to be real, oh so real…
It’s jealousy
The deadliest sin of them all
Ain’t it great, it’s jealousy
Don’t you get tired of watching it fall behind the 8
It’s jealousy, jealousy
Timeshare, a waste of my time, it shouldn’t be you
The you say, “I think you suck, you’re getting old, you’re diseased, I hate you, I love you!”
But listen, look at my pictures on your wall, your stage and on your TV
It’s jealousy
The deadliest sin of them all
Ain’t it great, it’s jealousy
Don’t you get tired of watching it fall behind the 8
Behind the 8, behind my 8
Jealousy
Good old fashion fucking jealousy
But listen, at least I’m man enough to be real, oh so real…
It’s jealousy
The deadliest sin of them all
Ain’t it great, it’s jealousy
Don’t you get tired of watching it fall behind the 8
Behind the 8, behind my 8
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
15. Preludio
Innocence the horizon
Temperatures reach the mark of the beast
Appetite for delusion
All alone, they prepare for the feast
Stare into the eyes of the night
Two wrongs won’t make it right
Abandoned
Abandoned
Represent the depression
Head of state pay the price for the toll
Ostracized from the session
Pick and choose, under total control
Communicate through the ego’s decay
The herd has come to play
Abandoned
Abandoned
16. Abandoned
Stare down the barrel of the corrugated steel
Tricked by the bottle, can’t remember what it real
Torched by the infidels who blasphemies the rules
Swords of the army, dig deeper in my wounds, yeah
Taught by the mother, keep your faith, you shall receive
Stripped by the father, stole away what you believed
Fucked by the day by day, a virus in your soul
Paint by numbers, you never get control
Eternal nowhere is my home, life feels like a living hell for me
Can’t seem to separate what’s real, as I feel like dying
I’m abandoned, all alone in this world
But I’m still standing, I’m no stranger to the pain
I’m abandoned, the celebration will end
It’s empty and cold, when you’re abandoned
Run from the image, caught me glaring into space
Tricked by the pressure, I’m still trying to embrace
Fooled by the promises of the young and the old
Ruled by endangerment, the stories will unfold
Eternal nowhere is my home, life feels like a living hell for me
Can’t seem to separate what’s real, as I feel like dying
I’m abandoned, all alone in this world
But I’m still standing, I’m no stranger to the pain
I’m abandoned, the celebration will end
It’s empty and cold, I’m losing control
Attacking your soul when you’re abandoned
What is love, it never knew me
Where is love, it ravels thru me
A rolling stone gathers moss at it leaves a mark on your soul
Feel the pain in the back of the front as you’re losing control
Think about it, live without it
Think about it, live without it
Lord why have you abandoned me?
Think about it, live without it
Think about it, live without it
Think about it, live without it
Think about it, live without it
Eternal nowhere is my home, life feels like a living hell for me
Can’t seem to separate what’s real, as I feel like dying
I’m abandoned, I’m alone in this world
But I’m still standing, I’m no stranger to the pain
I’m abandoned, the celebration will end
It’s empty and cold, I’m losing control
Attacking your soul when you’re abandoned
Lord why have you abandoned me?
Think about it, live without it
Think about it, live without it
Think about it, live without it
