1. Here Comes The Pain
now and then
in the corner of my eye
I see the passers-by
going through the motions
bathed in sin
there's no redemption here
and all you have to fear
is waiting for you here
here comes the pain
when bullets are flying
and women are crying
here comes the pain
specially for you
born to lose
it's a family affair
an inner circle where
you know who your friends are
born to kill
tears were made to cry
but the blood that's in your eye
was made to flow, made to flow
here comes the pain
where living is big time and dying is big time
here comes the pain
special delivery
but no one's to too innocent to die ...
here comes the pain
when bullets are flying
and women are crying
here comes the pain
the pain, the pain
2. The Good Life
all you do all
you've been through
has put you where you are today
all you do
is a photograph of you
now do you like what's in the picture?
the time is now
there's no time for waiting around
you get one shot, don't run for cover
until it's over
this is the good life now
this is the high life now
I can see with my own eyes
that it's a good, good life
the things you say
day after day
make all the difference in the world
the things you hate
might never go away
but they can't win if you don't let them
the time is now
there's no time for hanging around
this your chance, take it with no doubt
and don't let go, now
this is the good life now
this is the high life now
I can see with my own eyes
that it's a good, good life
this is the good life now
this is the high life now
can't you see with your own eyes
that it's a good, good life
3. End Of All Days
build a house on sand
and watch it sink
into the ocean blue
build a house of cards
and watch the wind blow through
play a grown-up game
with grown-up names
and plastic surgery
build a house on sand
and watch it disappear
all the plans you made
and prayers you prayed
are lost in yesterday
this is the end
the end of all days
marking time
for the very last day
write a memo in your organizer
that nothing is for sure
mark your calendar
and strike tomorrow through
all the plans you made
and prayers you prayed
are lost in yesterday
cause this is the end
the end of all days
marking time
for the very last day
this is the end
the end of all days
marking time
for the very last day
4. We Sow The Storm
you close your eyes and walk out
through the open door
you fold your hands together
on your knees once more
the heavens kiss you with a flame
it burns your skin but there's no pain
and it pours
we sow the storm that is breaking up the sky
oh
we sow the storm in your heart
you see the clouds as they assemble
up on high
you feel the multitudes surround you
in the night
there's nothing here to buy or sell
there's only heaven and there's hell
and it pours
we sow the storm that is breaking up the sky
oh
we sow the storm in your heart
the dogs of war have business cards
and flesh for sale, by the pound
they chew until your bones are bare
with teeth that gleam like silverware
but
we sow the storm that is breaking up the sky
oh
we sow the storm in your heart
there's nothing here to buy or sell
there's only heaven and there's hell
5. If You Ever Leave Me Standing
a one-horse town
with one old traffic light
hunted down
to a cheap
motel
your swollen eyes
never, ever say die
as the sheets run red
under me
if you ever leave me standing
then
I've one last wish
oh please, wrap the scarf around me
red-white found me
for my life
they're all here
to pay their last respects
it's crystal clear
only one
way out
your hand in mine
never, ever say die
as the sheets run red
under me
if you ever leave me standing
then i've one last wish
oh please, wrap the scarf around me
red-white found me
for my life
oh please, wrap the scarf around me
red-white found me
for my life
6. A New Breed Of Evil
it's a new breed
a new breed of evil
conceived in the moonlight
breathing fire
sweet fallen angel
delectable stranger
and if you don't know me
then show me
infernal walls
your perfect skin
the heat between your thighs within
your tongue and mine
can taste the sin
a brand new breed of evil breaks you in
I can smell your sweat
and I can feel you're wet
delectable stranger
please put me in danger
the gates to hell are open wide
you lead me there to come inside
and all the secrets that you hide
you show me
infernal walls
your perfect skin
the heat between your thighs within
your tongue and mine
can taste the sin
a brand new breed of evil breaks you in
infernal walls
your perfect skin
your tongue and mine
can taste the sin
7. While God Was Sleeping
seen things lately
I can't get off my mind
they frustrate me
and keep me up at night
oh lord, does your watchful eye
see the news-every night
via satellite on T.V.
while my god was sleeping
pain was on the rise
when my heart stopped beating
god was far and sleeping
a lot like torture
as pleasant as it seems
a wheel of fortune
with sandy beaches and bad, bad dreams
hey man, what's with your eyes
what do you see-from up so high
are you hypnotized or just lazy
while my god was sleeping
pain was on the rise
the blade that cuts so deeply
made me realize
while my god was sleeping
sleeping like a child
who never said his vespers
he's sleeping now forever
I stopped to watch my life
to watch it passing by?/p>
I love you god, I pay the price
I want to make this sacrifice forever
while my god was sleeping
strangers lost their lives
when their hearts stopped beating
god was far and sleeping
while my god was sleeping
sleeping like a child
who never said his vespers
he's sleeping now forever
8. Turn The World To Ice
face the fact, there's no road
that can take me back
take me to the start, to the altar
where I sold my heart
of all the eyes that I have closed
of all the lives I have disposed
face the fact, i'll never give them back
in your arms i'm healed
of blood that spilled
in your arms I kill?
face to face we were always
moving to this place
this place where mercy dies
where the truth is covered up in lies
for all the doors that I have closed
for all the lives i've bought and sold
face to face, my private fall from grace
but in your arms i'm healed
of blood that spilled
in your arms I kill the pain I feel
stalking the world with novacane eyes
I settle the score and name the price
freezing in motion frozen in time
I turn the world to ice
in your arms i'm healed
of blood that spilled
in your arms I kill the pain I feel
stalking the world with novacane eyes
I settle the score and name the price
freezing in motion frozen in time
I turn the world to ice?
9. Like A Dart In Your Face
personal regards
like a dart
in your face
whatever you might do
there's nothing left to lose
or to take
I wave the long goodbye
and wonder if i'll die tomorrow
or today
and whatever I do
there's no more fear to lose
or to face
anymore
got time to kill
and i'm killing it slowly
time like a dart in your face
another poacher's day
the killer's on his way
to his duty
and nothing that I want
will enter in his thoughts
today
I want you to arrive
and look me in the eyes
then just go away
but nothing that I want
will enter in your thoughts
when the time
comes to pay
got time to kill
and i'm killing it slowly
time like a dart
in your face
no time to kill
is a desperate moment
time like a dart
on its way
I never seem
to make you cry
to matter much
or cross your mind
I don't want you
I don't want you
so take your aim between my eyes
and do what must be done
and then leave me,
leave me alone
I?
need time to kill
'cause i'm killing it slowly
time like a dart
in your face
no time to kill
is a desperate moment
time like a dart
on its way
10. Farm Two Thousand
hello and welcome to our
laboratories
we'll give you the guided tour now
if you please
here in the fruit department
as you can see
everything's made to order
chemically
isn't progress simply wonderful?
welcome to the
welcome to the
farm two thousand
come right in
eat the future
drink the future
farm two thousand
tastes just like the real thing
the animals that we have here
all look the same
they came from a single test-tube
aren't you amazed?
the door with "restricted access"
is not for your eyes
but you can believe me,
we've got nothing to hide

farm two thousand
farm two thousand
farm two thousand
tastes just like the real thing
11. The World Is Ours
a world that will wrap you round a tree
demons that keep you from your sleep
at night
and in the mirror all I see
is someone who looks a lot like me
tonight
this isn't a dream
like some cheap novel at the airport
this is our life
the trial by fire
and it feels like winning again
and it feels like the beginning again
now the world is ours
strange how things turn out sometimes
the years in the wilderness are left
behind
this is the return
this is the triumph over exile
now it's our turn
all lessons learned
and it feels like winning again
and it feels like the beginning again
now the world is ours again?
