1. Train of Consequences
I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is Trouble
I'm coming in for the kill...
And you know I will
Set the ball a-rollin
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back
No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west
2. Crown of Worms (demo)
I am the author,
Dream up your pain drink as did bacchus,
Rebel just like cain lord of the city,
I shall remain all pandemonium,
I shall reign set in my fortress
Up on my hill drinking the wine
Till I've had my fill building up high,
My castle walls oh to
Veil my splendid fall
I present you, I present to you
I present you, this crown of worms
Surrounding myself with misery drawn
Curtains heavy of my history exquisite
I am perfect unity on my left hand is false majesty I feign affection,
Refute the true story dispute with creation,
The lie is my glory i care for no-one,
My gospel is death for me the lights gone,
Only darkness is left as black in deed,
As cold as stone a commandment of one,
As proud as gold as neglected in spirit,
As time is old as legion is numbers,
As legend is told i am alone with agony of truth my power of will,
My judgement and chain
My end is knowledge and conscience of guilt
My final confusion hidden from me til I'm done
3. Black Curtains
Hey... look around you
Everything's helter-skelter
Listen up... I warn you
Run for cover, run
Bang... it happened
Time's up, armageddon
Fire... meltdown
The sky is crumbling in
Black curtains... never ending
Escape... you're joking
Can't find no place to run
Hair... is burning
My flesh is bubbling up
Blood... is boiling
Taste copper on my tongue
Fate... is coming
Welcome it with a smile
Black curtains... never ending, fall
Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest
Held for ransom in a spider's web
Suffocating, no one hears my calls
Never ending, till the black curtain falls
Snakes... surround me
Offering their death kiss to me
Down... I'm drowning
How long, I hold my breath
Dogs, are chasing
My legs are paralyzed
Pray... don't find me
My life is fading fast
4. Peace Sells (live)
What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?
[Chorus:]
If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be president, of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?
[Chorus: (repeat)]
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line,
But, it better work this time.
Can you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
No, peace sells...
5. Ashes in Your Mouth (live)
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall
Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords
Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war.
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
Now we've rewtitten history
The one thing we've found out
Sweet taste of vindication
It turns to ashes in your mouth
Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
If you're fighting to live
It's OK to die !
The answer to your question is ...
Welcome to tomorrow !
Solo : Marty
Solo : Marty
Solo : Dave
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!
Chorus:
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care
The end is finally here
God have mercy!
6. Anarchy in the UK (live)
Right now
I am an anti-Christ
And I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want, but I know how get it
I want to destroy, possibly ?
'Cause I want to be anarchy, no dog's body
Anarchy for the U.S.A.
It's coming sometime, it may be
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic light
Your future dream is a shopping spree
'Cause I want to be anarchy, in the city
Of many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest
I use the enemy
I use anarchy
'Cause I want to be anarchy, it's the only way to be
Is this the M.P.L.A. ?
Is this the U.D.A. ?
Is this the I.R.A. ?
I thought it was the U.S.A., or just another country
And other cunt-like tendencies
'Cause I want to be anarchy,'cause I want to be
Anarchy, you know what I mean ?
'Cause I want to be anarchist, again I'm pissed
Destroy !
