2. Desire To Fire
Won't you fuck this pressure, c'mon, yeah
We turn desire to fire electric spark to the wire
Highred the stakes when we brought this monster
Life prevail by daring to fail others content just to sail
Hail the future we bring
We bring chaos to blocks like riots to watts blow up spots,
Taking the crown off the top notch
Create the pace that you all will follow
Sporadic flow buckles up like a calico
We d-o smoke sensmilla vodka and c-o-k-e is the real deal
You flubber, never had to suffer
Life's gettin harder and it's only getting rougher
Save some for me can't stop what we're going to be
Walk with me and take this seed
A fire for you so dare to fail will you
When my pen hits pad it results in catastrophe
Words and verbscome to form a disaster
If you want it, you got it never hit I spot it
Now come and watch me rise
All the tools, that blew more money than latrell
You tell, I don't know you think I know you too well you feel
And stumbled laughin as you tumbled
I guess you forgot about the power we rock
Coz "all hail the" Machine Head battery
The good, the bad, the ugly
Damaging your battery yeah you been fucked stuck in a rut
Your life has been sucked your tail has been tucked
Save some for me can't stop what we're going to be
Just watch as I demonstrate the reason we dominate
Walk with me and take this seed
A fire for you so dare to fail will you
If we stand alone and believe it all
And you tell me it's all I believe in
Yes we stand alone and believe it all
If you tell me it's all we believe in
Because we'll chew and spit you out
And pray upon the weaker
Take what we want
Walk with me and take this seed
A fire for you so dare to fail will you
3. Nothing Left
Withered away I see it
Every day complacent
Desecrates the fabric of lies
Emptiness fills inside me
Bitterness has denied me
Faith like this well
Could I really give a shit
When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away
I am the things that you fear
My leap of faith without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
Yes I have strength will never fall, will never
Withered inside
This soul has petrified
As concrete fills the skies
This life is disarray
Consequence every action
Brings violence from the passions
Loneliness the emotion withering inside
When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away
I am the things that you fear
My leap of faith without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
Yes I have strength will never fall
I feel around the fall is on
For so long I've been away..away
For years to now been holdin' on
For so long I've been away..away
I have nothing left for nobody else
I have nothing left for nobody
When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away
I am the things that you fear
My leap of faith without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
Yes I have strength will never fall
4. The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears
Yes I've walked the path that's righteous
Many men have walked before
Yeah this pain cell, the broken shell
Scraped, shackled onte the floor
So welcome to the world that I lived in
Puking out violence hate
My world entered a false recluse
Sickening from disease
But then I see
This thing in me
Make me want it more than you
But I deny your flesh
Cause pain's my wish
Racing on self destruct
So hold on to the end...
It's all about the blood, the sweat, the tears
A tribute to the strength built through the years
Oh yes I've walked the path that
Gives me confidence strong and pure
Now I realized that freedom rises
From confronting the source
I built these walls around me
And I can't break them all away
And I focus on the strength I call
Insufferable and insane
So hold on to the end...
It's all about the blood, the sweat, the tears
A tribute to the strength built through the years
A tribute to soul...
Take this
Focus
Madness
To take...
...hold...on...on...on...
Hold on.. falling.. please let go..
Hold on.. I'm falling... I'm falling down again...
It's all about the blood, the sweat, the tears
A tribute to the strength built through the years
A tribute cos time will set 'em off
Cos time will set 'em off
5. Silver
Yes, I hold some keys of gold
A cigarette, a silver bullet
Angels crying day and night
The world is our stage
Look inside and try and find
The part of me that tore
I wish I knew
What I got through behind...
Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this, all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell inside
I see the man in me
The lines along my face are drawn in
I believe reflections bleed
The sorrows of the souls
Let me know the hurt that shows and wish it all away
Cause now you'll see
All this pain in me collide...
Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell in...
I see the walls around me
Fall around me
And everything's alright
I see the god amoung me
Fall amoung me
And everything's beside
I see the walls around you,
Tie and bound you
Drown cos you're so cold.. cold.. cold..
Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell inside
So take my hand and cross this land
And break this hardened shell in, hardened shell in, hardened shell inside...
6. From This Day
Go, 1,2,3,4,
Yeah, yeah, you gotta
Stand tall and cut away the ties
Drop balls and hold that head up high
The world is fast and youth ain't gonna wait
So grab a hold before it gets too late
Bare your soul and strip away the cold
Of withered life that's past so grey and old
Cause all the pain that's filled these eyes you see
Has made them bleed just recently
Tears that made me
Ashamed to be me
But that gave me strength to see me
Made a spark that
Lit the dark and let me shine
Time to see, believe this in me
This pain that I feel deep inside
Cause it's time when you come together, peel together
Better now so do it now or never
I fall asleep to freeways far from here
Spend half the night just drinking beer
From this day on shall be the words
My flesh and bone shall make it heard
Don't you test I'll have to mess with you
Do my best so fuck the rest of you
One of these days you'll see I've always been right
Time to see, believe this in me
This pain that I feel deep inside
I can feel this pain is real
I never wanted anything from you, you
And it makes me glad
When I see the sun
And it makes me sad
When you fell my one
And I thank my god
Got a girl like you
And I thank my god
Did you save me
Time to see, believe this in me
This pain that I feel deep inside
7. Exhale The Vile
Can't match the stare within
These eyes
Do you have the strength for
All your lies
Can't stand the pain with
Which I see
This integrity is what I
Breathe
I inhale this life I
Gave to you
And exhale the vile
Time will tell because
My friend and
Never will I concede
The end
Cause cataract resin fills my eyes
Never gonna see the man
Through your fake lies
Tell me the things that'll
Take time
To help see the things
That'll take this
Burn inside of me
Can't feel the sting from
Words gone by
Can't keep the papers filled
With lies
Ten fold, this confidence
I breed
Created back the words
I see
I'll inhale this gift
I gave to you
And exhale the vile
Kill this fire with gasoline
Convictions I spit,
My faith obscene
Heretic jackals worship
Liars
Forever I'll be the
God that you desire
Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things that'll take this
And hold onto things that'll make my
To make me the thing
That breaks this
Burn inside of me
Time will tell beacuse
My friend and
Never will I concede
The end
Heretic jackals worship
Liars
Forever I'll be the
God that you desire
Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things that'll take this
And hold onto things that'll make my
To make me the thing
That breaks this
Burn inside of me
Burn inside of me, burn inside of me, burn inside of me
8. Message In A Bottle (Police Cover)
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send and S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart
I'll send and S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion castaways
Looking for a home
I'll send and S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Sending out an S.O.S....
[Repeat and fade]
9. Devil With The King's Card
I will see your rise and fall
I will be your rise and fall
I will make your rise and fall
I'll create your rise and fall
And I will be your
Got bored with me because I'm
Born with conviction
From a pain you'll never ever understand, understand
Never forget what I said cause you ain't half of me
I'll tear down and break anything that stands in front of me
I'm taking down what the fuck is ever in my way
So get away
I will see your rise and fall
I will be your rise and fall
I will make your rise and fall
I'll create your rise and fall
And I will be your
But for me I'll forgive despite your actions
Cos you never ever act on what you said
That you said
Give it to me, let it be,
But you're the one who quit
You said it yourself, I'm the best
And you can handle it
The cry, watch how Machine Head takes it all, it all
And I feel for you
Cos your eyes they whore
And I think I hurt
Cos of something more than
You see I'm falling
All apart
Cos your eyes they
Decide your heart
Rise and fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
Down.. down.. fall down.. fall down..
I will see your rise and fall
I will be your rise and fall
I will make your rise and fall
I'll create your rise and fall
And I will be your
10. I Defy
Be my one
Would you take my son?
Would you tell someone whether we had fun?
With your hero, double zero
Gonna suck around your fearo
Then I'm never ever falling again
Would you take my grace
Look into my face
With your limp handshake
And your smile that's fake
Would you back my fight
Say you're down for life
Well it's easy to say when you weren't doin' nothin
My god makes me long for a better way
You fear my strength if we're backed into a cage
Because I,
I defy
See my fate
Underestimate
I intoxicate while you emulate
With the users and the losers
Suckin' up to the abusers
And I'm never ever fallin' again
For the tricks you play
All the fronts you claim
And you just can't fake
The respect I make
You're a parasite
You conform on site
You're a leak and a cheat
Always weak and always will be
Maker makes me long for a better way
You fear my strength if we're backed into a cage
Because I,
I defy
So burn it apart son
I'll give it away
I'll see
Why didn't you end the pain
I can't take this
I can't fake this
I will break this
I will make this
Cause
I defy
11. Five
I remember, it was the month october
In a garage, I was standing scared and somber
I could smell your breathing, and the pain your leaving
So ashamed, I'm feeling
And now I am left to fate
For all the times I'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you made me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
It was so good
I remember words that never left me
For a scull of silver here's what you'd do for me
If you tell, I'll kill you
Rip the child out from you
Wish that I could stop you
Please god make this go away
For all the times I'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you made me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
Innocence was lost
And I feel it
I can't take it
I don't want it
Anymore
Was only five
And I feel it
Can't take it anymore
For all the times I heard you
Say in my goddamned mind
Make it sooner if I suck you
I'd make you suffer
Make you suffer
Motherfucker
For all the times I'd be losing my mind
You molest and destroy just a five year old boy
And you made me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out..
...I was only five...
...five...
12. The Burning Red
I see the sun begins to rise
And I'm wounded I've seen the world from painted eyes
That I'm crying through I watch the darkness hit the tides
And confide in... hold on
I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
The ocean has opened
These scars need to heal
Caress the needle prick in my eye
The tears fell like rain
I've rode the phoenix as she glides
And I've gone insane I've seen the light of suicide
And I'm dying hold on,
I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
And the ocean has opened
These scars need to heal
Hold on I'm falling, can't reach... reach...
Colder and colder just hold onto me
