1. One
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside i feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up i can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that i must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when i'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone i'm just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that i see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
2. Enter Sandman
Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone
tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land
something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white
dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land
now I lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
pray the lord my soul to take
hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head
exit light
enter night
grain of sand
exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land
3. The Unforgiven
New blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules
with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven
they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub the unforgiven
you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub the unforgiven
4. Nothing Else Matters
So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters
5. Wherever I May Roam
...and the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
so in her I do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all I need
...and with dust in throat I crave
only knowledge will I save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but I'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll redefine anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home
...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I've grown
by myself but not alone
I ask no one
...and my ties are severed clean
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path I reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and I'll never mind anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home
but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and I'll take my find anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home
carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still I roam
wherever I may roam
6. Sad But True

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you
Sad But True
7. Until It Sleeps
Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run, but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps...
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays... so tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps...
So tell me why you've chosen me?
Don't want your grip, don't want your greed
Don't want it... I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, holds you
Holds you until it sleeps...
I don't want it...
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me till I'm clean
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps...
8. Hero Of The Day
Mama, they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama, they try and break me
Still they try and break me
Excuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now, deservingly, this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don't want your aid, but the fist I make for years can't hold or feel
No, I'm not all me, so please excuse me while I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last the night
So build the wall, behind it crawl and hide until it's light
So can you hear your babies crying now?
Still the window burns, time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames, did you feel your names?
Did you hear your babies crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams that ever last the night
So build a wall, behind it crawl and hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try and break me
Mama, they try
Mama, they try
Mama, they try and break me!...
9. Mama Said
Mama, she has taught me well, told me when I was young:
"Son, your life's an open book, don't close it 'fore it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest", that's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owed to mother, but I must find my way...
Let my heart go... let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go... or let this heart be still
"Rebel", my new last name, wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck, the mark that still remains
I left home at an early age of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness, but what is said is done...
Let my heart go... let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go... or let this heart be still
Never I ask of you, but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness, I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you, but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness, I now take to my grave
...so let this heart be still
Mama, now I'm coming home, I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son unspoken, help me be
I took your love for granted and all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone's all I see
Let my heart go... let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go... or let this heart be still
Let my heart go!... Mama, let my heart go!...
You never let my heart go!... so let this heart be still, oh-oh...
Never I ask of you, but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness, I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you, but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness, I now take to my grave
...so let this heart be still
10. King Nothing
Wish I may, wish I might, have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold, dig for fame, you dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste... all the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down and you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing!?... Where's your crown?
Hot and cold, bought and sold, a heart as hard as gold
Yeah, are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may, you wish your life away
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste... all the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down and you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing!?... Where's your crown?
I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now, I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish, careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it
Careful what you wish, you just might get it!
Then it all crashes down and you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing!?
Nothing... you know you're just nothing
Where's your crown, King Nothing!?
You're just nothing, absolutely nothing
...off to never-never land...
11. The Memory Remains
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave, another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor
Like twisted vines that grow, hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains
Heavy rings hold cigarettes up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on? Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance, little tin goddess
Drift away, fade away little tin goddess
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Fade to black, but the memory remains!, yeah
To this faded prima donna, yeah...
Dance, little tin goddess, dance
12. The Unforgiven II
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I want to hear to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's opened if you're true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you
Lay beside me, under wicked skies
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through, no, there's no sun shining
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
...or are you unforgiven, too?
Come, lay beside me, this won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone, dead sure she'll be there
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn to stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
...or are you unforgiven, too?
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it...
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired I stand alone
Could you be there? 'Cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you, oh?
What I've felt, what I've known
I take this key and I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven, too
Never free, never me
'Cause you're unforgiven, too...
13. Fuel
Yeah, turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead... and I see red
One hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead. fuck 'em, man
White-knuckle tight through black and white
Oh, on I burn, fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
And on I burn churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire!
Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Take the corner, join the crash
Headlights, head on, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
...Yeah, lives way too fast...
Oh, on I burn, fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
And on I burn churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire!
White-knuckle tight!
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, my desire
Oh, on I burn, fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean
And on I burn churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
Gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire!
On I burn!
14. Turn The Page
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You listen to the engines moanin' out his one long one note song
You'd think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will be wanderin' the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through
Here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage
There I go playin' star again
There I go turn the page
So you walk into this restaurant, all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliché's, "Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make your stand... make your stand
Now here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage
Here I go playin' the star again
There I go turn the page, whoa, oh!
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play, yeah
Later in the evenin' as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said... what she said
Yeah!
Yeah, and here I am on the road again
There I am up on that stage
And here I go playin' star again
And there I go turn the page
And there I go turn that page
There I go, oh yeah yeah
There I go, yeah yeah
There I go, yeah
Here I go, yeah
There I go, whoa-whoa
There I go... and I'm gone
15. Whiskey In The Jar
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver, oh, or the devil, he may take ya"
Yeah
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, no never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she treat me easy
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels, yeah
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, heah heah
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, whiskey
Yo-oh, whiskey
Whoa yeah, oh, yo
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa yeah
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear, to hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me?, I like sleepin' especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, hey heah
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o, yeah!
Whiskey in the jar-o
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da...
16. No Leaf Clover
And it feels right this time
On this crash course we're in the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy....
Says it feels right this time
Turn around, found new high lights
Good day to be alive Sir
Good day to be alive, he said.....
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just the freight train coming your way
Don't it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Suck up for that quick reward boy
Suck up for that quick reward they said.....
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel

18. St. Anger
Saint Anger 'round my neck
Saint Anger 'round my neck
He never gets respect
Saint Anger 'round my neck
You flush it out, You flush it out
Saint Anger 'round my neck
You flush it out, You flush it out
He never gets respect
Fuck it all and no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I hang myself
Saint Anger 'round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earth quake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
And I want my anger to be healthy
And I want my anger just for me
And I need my anger not to control me
And I want my anger to be me
And I need to set my anger free
Set it free!
19. Frantic
If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at Karma's burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
You live it or lie it!
My lifestyle determines my death style
Keep searching, Keep on searching
This search goes on, This search goes on
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk of hurry
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I find inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
Worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
You live it or lie it!
My lifestyle determines my death style
Keep searching, Keep on searching
This search goes on, This search goes on
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
My lifestyle (Birth Is Pain)
Determines my death style (Life Is Pain)
A rising tide (Death Is Pain)
That pushes to the other side (It's All The Same)
20. The Unnamed Feeling
Been here before
Been here before couldn't say I liked it
Do I start writing this down?
Just let me plug you into my world
Can't you help me be uncrazy?
Name this for me, heat the cold air
Take the chill off of my life
And if I could I'd tirn my eyes
To look and see what's comin'
It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more
Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
The the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
I'm frantic in your soothing arms
I can not sleep in this filled world
I've found safety in this loneliness
But I can not stand it anymore
Cross my heart hope not to die
Shallow evil, ride the sky
Lose myself in a crowded room
You fool, you fool, it will be here soon
It comes alive
And I die a little more
It comes alive
Each moment here I die a little more
Then the unnamed feeling
It comes alive
The the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
And I wait for this train
Toes over the line
And then the unnamed feeling
Takes me away
Get the fuck out of here
I just wanna get the fuck away from here
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I hate it all, why? Why? Why me?
I cannot sleep with a head like this
I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
I wanna hate it all away
21. Some Kind Of Monster
These are the eyes that can't see me
These are the hands that drop your trust
These are the boot s that kick you around
This is the tongue that speaks on the inside
These are the ears that ring with hate
This is the face that I'll never change
This is the fist that grinds you down
This is the voice of silence no more
These are the legs in circles run
This is the beating you'll never know
These are the lips that taste no freedom
This is the feel that's not safe
This is the face you'll never change
This is the god that ain't so pure
This is the god that is not pure
This is the voice of silence no more
We the people
Are we the people?
Some kind of monster
The monster lives
This is the face that stones you cold
This is the moment that needs to breathe
These are the claws that scratch these wounds
This is the pain that never leaves
This is the tongue that whips you down
This is the burden of every man
These are the screams that pierce your skin
This is the voice of silence no more
This is the test of flesh and soul
This is the trap that smells so good
This is the flood that drains these eyes
These are the looks that chill to the bone
These are the fears that swing over head
These are the weights that hold you down
This is the end that will never end
This is the voice of silence no more
We the people
Are we the people?
Some kind of monster
The monster lives
This is the cloud that swallows trust
This is the black that uncolors us
This is the face that you hide from
This is the mask that comes undone
Ominous,
I'm in us
