1. No Second Chance (In the Angry City)
Deep in the angry city
The hatred starts to wake
You and the boys and their turf
Another chance to take
Mom and dad told you
Never steal or hate
Vandalize to compromise
Duties through the night
Prechorus:
Frustrations only grow
A face of hatred shows
Rivalry is all you know
To rule the streets, to run the show
Chorus:
To prove your grounds
You proudly take a stance
Its time again to fight
Its time to dance
The hour is here to take a chance
Turn back and you take a second glance
You wear the uniform
That picks your side
You were danger to help
Feed your pride
Influent leaders
Control pressure closes in
Fight you must or die commit
The final sin
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
Another city boy played with
Killing toys
Toys that took his life
His mama cries
You have nothing left
To confess
So troubled child
You can rest
Come tomorrow who’ll remember
Who’ll know you
Your stay has become nothing new
We’ve accepted your ways
Life in the angry city
Where you’ll find no reasoning
Where you’ll find no pity
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
2. Will I Catch It Again
Take a look at my sad face
It’s the only one I have
I’m chasing a cold dream
That I may never find
PreChorus:
I’ve played and I’ve gambled
Never denied my faith
I’m calling, please save me
You can hear me pray
Blacking wears my star
Is life burning out
I’m reaching you’re out there
I know you’re very far
Chorus:
I’m out here alone
Don’t know where I’m going
The dream is flying by
Will I catch it again
I will make this dream come true
If it’s the last thing I do
Deep inside the pain still curls
I’ll be someone in the world
(Chorus) X2
3. Lost to Be Found, Found to Be Lost
Awaking each day, guilty again
Empty inside
Labeled an outcast living in shame
A sinner who hides
Their smiling faces so full of peace
I had to fit in
They’d make me righteous
Leaving me pure
Cleansing of sin
Chorus: lost to be found, found to be lost
Lead a stray the bitter cost
I gave them my life
All of my dreams and my money
To show me belief,
What they called faith, testimony
More lost than before
Nowhere to go, played such a fool
Their words so in rhyme
Made me believe lying their tool
(chorus)
A cast of lies
The words denied
The ones who hide their sins inside
Mass frustration from confusion
What seemed real
Was just illusion
(chorus) X2
4. When We Only Bleed
Longing for the answers, I’m searching my mind
Reaching for a darkened tomorrow I find
Deep inside our soul and blood are the same
On the outside a destructible fame
To accept so many times we try
But all we want to do is make each other cry
And I always wonder who’s to blame
We’re only taught how to play this game
Racial walls saw no otherwise
Pessimistic all the hate the despise
But now I think it’s time we open our eyes
Or children of tomorrow keep paying the price
Segregation through the years has grown
Still we’re made of same flesh and bone
So what we speak in different native tongue
The good book said we were made as one
Chorus:
Can’t you see we’re all the same now
Can’t you see we’re all the same now
Can’t you see we’re all the same now
Shame it shows when we only bleed
5. Reality
Eyes-eyes that hypnotize
With hate-hate is no surprise
Words-words that only lie
Faith-faith that only dies
And now there’s only one way I believe
I see the serpent, Adam, eve
The apple tree
And now I know love doesn’t last so long
I wish this could be another pretty song…
6. Good Day to Die
New day is waking and i
Can’t seem to find my way out
I’m trapped inside my world
And I’m not coming back
I hear the voices calling
That speaks and tells to do
There’s no refusing in their words
Orders I must follow through
PreChorus:
See them walking hear them talking
Playing games helplessly your mind
I’ve come to play with you
Simply nothing you can do
Chorus:
We’re eye to eye
Good day to die
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood it’s a good day to die
I do not care for laughter
Something I’ve not done before
My mind recalls the beatings
Till I could see no more
Again the voices calling
That speaks and tells to do
There’s no refusing their words
Orders I must follow through
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
People all around are laughing at me
Just can’t figure why they are so happy
Must’ve never had abusive daddy
Must’ve never had to kill your mommy
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
7. Beyond the Realms of Death (Judas Priest cover)
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win.
How many like him,
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not youKeep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Beyond the realms of death.
8. Save Time
Welcome to our kind we’ll show what is right
The same old story in their many worlds
Ours is full of color yours black and white
You’re robbed of your heart and soul
Looking for direction not knowing where to go
Happiness a friend they don’t even know
Living for the pleasures that make me want to cry
Can’t you see their well of dreams ran dry
PreChorus:
You’re dreaming tomorrow
Because time is borrowed
Chorus:
So save it
Keep saving time
Discrimination rebellion can’t hyou see
That violence is just a game
They keep telling you disrespect
Your mom and dad
They’re the reason for your faults
They’re the ones to blame
To obey the law against formalities
Making all the rules all the shots they call
You’re never to reveal your true identity
Manipulating till you take the fall
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
So leave them all behind
Only doing what is right
The saddened story of a lonely world
Where there is no color
It’s only black and white
Empty is society
(PreChorus)
(Chorus)
9. Black Silhouette Skies
I closed my eyes and sleep
Came on so strong
Began to dream and
This is what I saw
Change in the sky
I’m shorter of breath
The silhouette, a black mask of death
Chorus:
No one ever tried
So now hear our cries
As heat and darkness rise
Black silhouette skies
Seemed real so scared
I shook away my sleep
Ran out to see
A sky blue and clear
Struck from terror
From the blackened sight
Like heavy rain birds
Fell from the sky
(Chorus)
I close my eyes just
Wishing for sleep
So I can dream of a sky
I once knew
The fight for life we must
Live locked away
Black silhouette upon
Night and day
(Chorus)
10. The Last Serenade
