1. Death Valley Dream
I'm wide awake I can't be dreaming
Still disbelieving what I see
I hear a distant voice is screaming
I know that voice belongs to me
And I wonder as I fight will I die tonight?
This is a nightmare from out of nowhere
This is a nightmare from out of nowhere
Death Valley Dream
My life unfolds before my eyes
As I lie broken and alone
I feel my soul begin to slowly rise
Leave behind blood and broken bones
And I wonder as I fight will I die tonight?
This is a nightmare from out of nowhere
This is a nightmare from out of nowhere
Death Valley Dream
My spirit soaring through the desert sky
I watch the scene unfold below
I know it's not yet time to die say goodbye
How I cheated death I'll never know
And I know because I fight I will not die tonight
This is a nightmare from out of nowhere
This is a nightmare from out of nowhere
Death Valley Dream
2. Stranger
Here I am with a bible in my hand
Trying really hard to understand
Something I don't think anybody can
Namely man's inhumanity to man
Here I am with a bottle in my hand
Trying to escape from my fellow man
Trying to remember what it means to be a man
Feeling like a stranger in a strange land
Nobody here can tell me
I fight a losing fight
Nobody can convince me
I don't know wrong from right
You call each other brothers
And when you turn your backs
You try to kill each other
Mad dogs in a pack
Stranger
All my life I've been a stranger
Stranger
And life keeps getting stranger
Stranger
Here I am with a weapon in my hand
Trying to defend myself from my fellow man
Hanging on to sanity by a slender strand
Violence was never any part of the plan
Common sense doesn't seem to apply
Good advice cannot help me to get by
Over time all the rules they have been changed
Overnight things have really gotten strange
Nobody here can tell me
I fight a losing fight
Nobody can convince me
I don't know wrong from right
You call each other brothers
And when you turn your backs
You try to kill each other
Mad dogs in a pack
Stranger...
3. Media
Yeah I cannot take this
Can't take this anymore
Yeah all this hatred
Can't relate with it anymore
Yeah never felt so
Never felt so damned confused
Everyone around me
Tellin' about the same scene
Sick to death of it all
Sick to death of it all
Turn the channel turn it up
Some guy axed his wife
Read the pages between the lines
Have you read enough
Make a stand raise a voice
The future's in your hands
4. Blacksmith
Fire clouds pass through a snow filled night
Reflecting frames eyes of diamond shine
Standing alone you feel the shiver cold
Naked and stoned in frozen winds of sorrow
You take every breath
It burns your heart dead
You drain your life now
Silent death renown
Laugh while you may now
Who are you with
Dance while you may now
Dance with the blacksmith
Dragons burn through your veins tonight
Strangling bloodline injecting suicide
Jesus Christ I cannot break these chains
My sin rips up my self restraint
Laugh while you may now
Who are you with
Dance while you may now
Dance with the blacksmith
-Dance-
Forgive my sins my addiction stain
Burn deep the pain you bring to me
tell lies if the truth reveals reality
Time stands you're drifting to the sky
Standing upon a crystalized high
Laugh while you may now
Who are you with
Dance while you may now
Dance with the Blacksmith
5. Wear and Tear
I wonder can I weather the storm?
Been fighting since the day I was born
I've always had a right to be wrong
I wish I knew that all along
Force of fate can't tear me down
Time & tide won't wear me down
I've had more than my fair share
All this wear & tear
As each day goes flying by
Another chance another try
As soon as this day is done
Another one has begun
Force of fate can't tear me down
Time & tide won't wear me down
I've had more than my fair share
All this wear & tear
When each step could be your last
Don't follow them back into the past
All I need I carry deep inside
Where I stand the future's open wide
Force of fate can't tear me down
Time & tide won't wear me down
I've had more than my fair share
All this wear & tear
6. Madness and Poetry
Science and magic
Beautifully tragic
Secret obsession
Manic depression
In the thundering distance
I hear voices that say
That I am the master
Of all I survey
Through the deafening silence
Comes a message for me
I see beauty in chaos
Like some mad poetry
Under hypnosis
Severe psychosis
Mild paranoia
State of euphoria
Through the deafening silence
I hear voices that say
That I am the master
Of all I survey
In the thundering distance
There's a message I see
There is beauty in chaos
Madness & poetry
Schizophrenia
Bi-polar mania
Self destruction
Major malfunction
Bury the pain
Scars remain
Twisted psychology
Madness & poetry
7. Crow
Feeling lonely feeling used
I think I'll fly awhile
Escape the demons escape it all
Take on a new style
Give in to the darker side
Let the rivers flow
Rip it up raise some hell
You're flying with the crows
Fall from grace fall from glory
I saw it coming in my mind's eye
Fall from grace fall from glory
How many times does a dead man have to die
Are you crazy are you lost
Nothing seems the same
Search your heart search your soul
Can't find the things you need
Consumed by a lying world
Never turn your back
Flying higher seek and conquer
Feel the crow's attack
Fall from grace fall from glory
I saw it coming in my mind's eye
Fall from grace fall from glory
How many times does a dead man have to die
8. Possessing Judgement
They damn this life before me
Then choose to criticize
Closed minded peasants
They hide behind their lies
Hide in disguise
Enchanted by this power
The all mighty we must serve
Hostility still beckons me
But who shall burn to learn
Feeding you lies
See right through your eyes
Cure the pain
Sins bleeding and breeding
Challenging the blessed
Possessing judgement
Signs given pray for the healer
In sickness and disease
Taken us for all we're wort
Sentence of blasphemy
No honesty
Wolves in sheep's clothing
Stalking out their prey
Sensation from degradation
Deceivers the mind's array
Feeding you lies
See right through your eyes
Cure the pain
Sins bleeding and breeding
Challenging the blessed
Possessing judgement
Judge not how you shall judge yourself
Altering egos
Represent themselves from hell
On grows you power
This nation built your strength
Who will you crucify
When we abandon faith
Feeding you lies
See right through your eyes
Cure the pain
Sins bleeding and breeding
Challenging the blessed
Possessing judgement
9. War Journal
War journal final entry
Guns silent chambers empty
Thousand pages tell the tale
Wars no one will know
Final chapter writes itself
One more left to go
War journal final entry
Stand silent soul is empty
Thousand pages tell the tale
Wars no one will know
Final chapter writes itself
One more left to go
War journal final entry
Guns silent chambers empty
End transmission
Over and Out [Repeat]
War journal final entry [Repeat and fade]
10. Prideland
Born into a lying world
torn apart by righteous pain
Thrown into a well of despair
Raised upon this desert plain
Take my hand trust my words
We are brothers of this world
Steal your land lying words
Superior race rape this world
Broken hearts bloodstained land
Torn and ravaged by fellow man
Watch in horror as tears and blood
Flow together in a flood
Scars they now remain
Upon a land never the same
Waste a wasted race survives
Pride it tears them up inside
Take my hand trust my words
We are brothers of this world
Steal your land lying words
Superior race rape this world
Broken hearts bloodstained land
Torn and ravaged by fellow man
Watch in horror as tears and blood
Flow together in a flood
Born into this dying race
Torn apart by righteous ways
Waste a wasted place survives
Pride will never be denied
Take my hand trust my words
We are brothers of this world
Steal your land lying words
Superior race rape this world
Broken hearts bloodstained land
Torn and ravaged by fellow man
Watch in horror as tears and blood
Flow together in a flood
