1. Judas Kiss
[G:Son/Yoanson]
One love was all she ever got
One love in trust
One need so innocent and plain
One need to lust
And though she's got someone to blame
Her life will never be the same
She bears the agony
This enemy, her lost humanity
A cut of love that bleeds with shame
She got a Judas kiss
She got a Judas kiss
One life a kingdom of desire
One life so great
One kiss the sacred and profane
One kiss of fate
All that she wants is to forget
Just getting rid of all regret
And though she's got someone to blame
Will she ever love again
Bleeding with shame
She knows she'll never be the same
Will she ever love again
Bleeding with shame
One love, one need to claim
One life, one kiss of shame, Judas kiss
One love was all she ever got
One love in trust
One love this death defying game
One love one lust, Judas kiss
2. Say Your Prayer
[G:Son/Yoanson]
I will give you tomorrow
Stop the hurting of yesterday
Take away all your sorrows
I will make you my protege
God spoke to me of his prophecy
Don't embrace your confusion
Come to me and I'll heal your mind
Cure your state of delusion
Give my vision to all the blind
God's chosen me for his legacy
It's time for you to believe in me
God sees you, God hears you
Say your prayer
Say you repent, your every sin
Say your prayer
Don't you repent your earthly sin?
Say you repent, your every sin
He's the father of freedom
The creator of everything
I'm the key to his kingdom
Respect his law, he's the king of kings
God promised me spiritual ecstasy
That's what he promised and gave to me
God sees you, God hears you
God spoke to me of his prophecy
Punishment for profanity
God sees you, God hears you
3. State Of Grace
[G:Son/Yoanson]
It's on the news now everyday
The common market's on display
The ancient laws of yours and mine
They're getting harder to define
Unite the nations under oath
Believe in economic growth
Control and welfare is a need
It's in the nature of our greed
A rich man's will to dominate and trade
The poor man's fall for every renegade
If you want more than yesterday
Become a governmental slave
And if you fear another war
Become the legislators whore
World domination is a quest
Some lose while others will be blessed
This is the one and only way
Some always win, some always pay
A rich man's will to dominate and trade
The poor man's fall for every renegade
Democracy, hypocrisy, political rage
Confederate and confiscate
New order revolution, evolution state
Discriminate and seperate
A better constitution, resolution state
A state of grace
It's on the news now every day
The state of welfare's on display
And from the liberators voice
We're made to believe we have a choice
4. Suffering
[G:Son/Yoanson]
I am love, I am hate
I destroy, I create
A distinction of animal grace
I attack what I protect
I'm the cure and I infect
A behaviour of true savage race
I suspect what I trust
Remorse when I lust
What's in reach through guilt out of touch
Every pleasure is of pain
Every effort is in vain
It just feels like I'm trying too much
I wonder why I'm still suffering
Suffering, suffering
I wonder why I'm still suffering
I'm suffering suffering
I am first, I am last
The presence and the past
I'm the quieting core of alarm
I'm your enemy and friend
The beginning of the end
All the chaos surrounding the calm
Every truth is a lie
Gotta live, gotta die
One man's wrong is another man's right
Every fact is belief
Every poet is a thief
And each war is a peacemaker's fight
5. End Of Nothing
[G:Son/Yoanson]
Sucker for ya!
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna die
You made me forgive
Your cold-hearted lies
The end of nothing
Nothing was all we had
The end of something
Something we never shared
I gave you my heart
I gave you my way
You played the tart
And gave me away
The end of nothing
Nothing is in the past
The end of something
Something that couldn't last
If not for me
If not for you
For the truth
If not for us
If not for this
For the trust
I wanted love
I wanted grace
You watched from above
And laughed in my face
For the sake of trust
Promises we make
Truth is trusting
The vows we take
6. America
[G:Son/Yoanson]
Land of supremacy
Home of the righteous and brave
Utopian scheme
That gradually will deprave
Democracy
Find the American dream
Individuality
A place where money will make you
Become what you want to be
Land of the free
Here white equality is law
To make one rich you make some poor
White is the constitution of
Black is the conscience of
America, this hysterica, in America
Pledge your allegiance to the banner of
America, this hysterica, in America
This double standard of morality
Brings forth a two-faced liberty
Role model of the world
A continent in it's prime
Revaluate
This superpower sublime
One of a kind
One nation under God
A statue of liberty
Promising justice and peace
Forever so free
A freedom so blind
America, this hysterica, in America
Pledge your allegiance to the banner
America, this hysterica, in America
This double standard of morality
A travesty, this is America
7. God Of Man
[G:Son/Yoanson]
I believe in a greater reason
I believe in a higher law
I believe in the change of season
Simple things so easily ignored
I believe there is absolution
I believe in the heart of soul
Some have faith in a revolution
Their belief is fighting for control
God of man
Redeemer of life
God of man
I believe man is on a mission
To endure all that he profess
Some believe faith is superstition
All they trust in their emptiness
I believe in my contribution
I belibe it's the best I can
Some believe in the constitution
I believe in the God of man
8. Violation
[G:Son/Yoanson]
I see a man of reason
I see his conscience plain
He bears the guilt of man's proclaim
I see my sister, brother
I see the greed for more
The legal kill we ignore
We do what we wanna do
And say what we wanna say
But still look the other way
I see a world of madness
Environmental rape
Face the consistency too late
Oh you're gonna die, oh you're gonna die
You change if you wanna change
And pray if you wanna pray
So why look the other way
Violation
Devestation
Termination
The last of man's device
Violation
9. Feels Good
[G:Son/Yoanson]
I've got an open mind
But I've never done this before
I'm not the needing kind
Danger the drug that begs for more
Feels good
Touched by the grace of God
Deprived of my reality
Confronted by the odd
Expand my personality
Don't want no other
Don't need no other
It's different but it's mine
Feels good to me, so good to me
You and I we got a strange desire
Feels good to me
You and I we couldn't get much higher
You and I, feels good
Addictive waves of sin
A yearning pulse of secret needs
The sudden urge within
When every string of muscle pleads
10. Wasteland
[G:Son/Yoanson]
Sick of hope sick of fear
Of laughter and of tears
I've had too much
Yes I've had enough
Enough aggravation
Nothing hurts nothing feels
An attitude that heals
I've found a style
That won't drag me down
Deep into frustration
Oh God I feel so cold
I give up all control
Have mercy on my soul
Out in the wasteland
Fear of life, fear of death
Of each and every breath
I couldn't wait
Now it's way too late
Too late for my salvation
No more dreams, no more pain
A solitude domain
Set me free
I'm my enemy
My enemy's creation
11. Mercy Me
[G:Son/Yoanson]
Years of fear and silent pain
Is tearing me asunder
Tarnished dreams I can't restrain
Tries to pull me under
Deprived of all my self-esteem
Got no will or vision
Echoes of a piercing scream
Feed my inhibition
So I just wait
Hide my face
Mercy me, find me a savior
Rescue me from myself
Please I'm begging
Mercy me, from my behaviour
Rescue me from myself
I'm begging mercy me
Memories become a threat
When you fear tomorrow
Pictures that I can't forget
Haunting childhood sorrow
I just wait
Hide my hate
I can't wait
It's too late
12. Free My Mind
[G:Son/Yoanson]
Hiding from pain
Just waiting to come alive
Will I go insane
By making this ache revive
The day I stopped living
I took a silent vow
The day I stopped forgiving
Now I don't know how
Free my mind
From the pain inside
Free my mind
From this pain I hide
Free my mind
From all this pain I keep inside
I'm cold and afraid
Alone in this desperate fight
This hurting won't fade
It keeps me awake at night
Each time the fear ebraces me
It frightens me to know
This hurting still amazes me
It just won't let go
