1. State Of Mind
Can you see the substance of who you really are?
Dig deep into your psyche, do you find the scar?
Unlock subliminal secrets, touch me with your past
Then try to understand the way that you've been cast
Chorus
I have tried many times
To reveal my inner State of Mind
(Must be blind)
{Repeat}
Your mind reveals itself, although it's hard to do
Don't fear the fury and passion that burns inside of you
Stare deep into my eyes, your body becomes relaxed
Strip layers from subconscious, discover past life facts
{Repeat chorus}
{Solos}
Can you see the substance of who you really are?
Dig deep into your psyche, do you find the scar?
I know it's just a theory with elements of doubt
Don't take it all too serious, that's not what we're about
{Repeat Chorus}
2. Spectacle Of Fear
Brought-to shores across the sea
He dreamt it was his fate
Fought-to set an order pure
Facist world of hate
Pray-for outcasts sent to die
They have no hearts to fight
Pay-the dues you owe yourself
To free them on this night
A gasious rain falls down to stop the ones
Who speak the truth but lack the voice of guns
And they die
Try-to stop the man in charge
He fills our mind in fear
Cry-for those who've already died
Their killers won't shed a tear
Night-has fallen premature
Darkness shades the land
Fight-for one last chance to live
And crush the killer's hand
{chorus}
{repeat chorus}
3. Every Day's A Holiday
4. Spellbound
There's a method to madness
It measures in by the light
There's an evil among us
And it's blinding our sight
Propaganda, deception
Their subliminal lies
Infiltrate the airwaves
The light in your eyes
Chorus
Spellbound by the light
You don't have the right
To ever ask why
They're ruling your mind
Mass mental disorder
A generation ago
They're lost in confusion
Let you question the people
Who are plotting these schemes
When they silence your questions
When they shatter your dreams
{Repeat Chorus}
Heed they
D-Day never mentioned
Victims - programmed with precision
Punished - by the television
{Solos}
{Repeat Chorus Twice}
5. Sever And Splice
Twisted dreams of tortured screams victims chained to die
A darkened cell of living hell with none to hear the cry
Perverted minds the most maligned plot your night of doom
The sullen earth of death or birth becomes your vile tomb
Sever and Splice
Hatchet and knife
Torture and lust
Taking your life
Axe to head a mortal's dead as screams tear through the night
The searing pain of severed veins to bone the blade shall bite
Lust and hate desecrate fulfill your ghastly needs
Rape and maul your bones to haul disguise your evil deeds
{chorus}
{solos}
Get away flee today bodies have been found
Rotting flesh horrid death bones beneath the ground
Deathly reek lawmen seek corpses of deceased
Twist and turn writhe and burn none will be released
One dies by suicide-Took life by cyanide
One fled to foreign land-free now to kill again
Lurk stalk with evil eye-Hack slash to take your life
Bent mind-A deadly rape
Run hide-He has escaped
6. The Artist
Self employed self made scam
Like a child who forgot how to learn
Just conserving time
In this homemade prison he'll burn
Tongue like a rusty razor tricky and sharp
With eyes that seem so pure
Walk like a dusty soldier proud and sure
With a medal of his buddy's heart
There's the pitch looks like a curve
He who dies with the most toys wins
Faceless, nameless they're all the same
He'll take your money with a toothy grin
Tongue like a rusty razor tricky and sharp
With eyes that seem so pure
Walk like a dusty soldier proud and sure
With a medal of his buddy's heart
Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
He bites the hand that feeds
Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
BITE!
Floating in franklins like a pig in shit
He's got money to burn yours not mine
Material madness bashes him down
And sends the fucker to the end of the line
Tongue like a rusty razor tricky and sharp
With eyes that seem so pure
Walk like a dusty soldier proud and sure
With a medal of his buddys heart
Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
He bites the hand that feeds
Worse than the animal
The artist needs
The artist greeds
BITE!
7. Shatter
Just like a flame memory starts to burn
Out of the past, voices re-emerge
They bring to mind days when you were young
Bid life farewell when all is said and done
Chorus
Shatter - Mirror cracks, you see the light
Shudder - As death stares you in the eyes
Cry out - As your life comes to an end
Darkness - A loaded gun your only friend
The blade of time cuts away the years
Songs of lament are ringing in your ears
In from outside (?? - MG) images of death
Bid life farewell and catch your final breath
{Repeat chorus}
{Solos}
{Repeat chorus}
SHATTER
8. Reckless Abandon
Recklessly they waged their wars
Open wounds behind closed doors
Shed your fears the morbid cheers
Apocalypse draws ever near
Laugh with sinners cry with saints
The life we lead has no restraints
No holds barred our bodies scarred
These creeps were made for marching hard
Reckless abandon living for today
The streets our schools defiance rules
Until the judgement day
Reckless abandon technicolor grey
One way to live one life to give
No morals to betray
Trapped by fear and locked away
To never see the light of day
Paranoid and self-destroyed
The mind's eye scans the endless void
Let the death bell toll
The clock may stop the hand may fall
Untold lies of paradise
A wasted day a wasted life
Reckless abandon living for today
The streets our schools defiance rules
Until the judgement day
Reckless abandon technicolor grey
One way to live one life to give
No morals to betray
{Solos}
Take the time to redefine
Read the truth between the lines
Feed the frame of discontent
Time on earth is nearly spent
These four walls are closing in
The war that you can never win
Nothing ventured nothing gained
This hell on earth will never change
{repeat chorus}
9. Super Freak
10. Numb
See now how I am
Care for no-one
Don't give a damn
Dive in
To my mind
Search for some emotion you can't find
Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
Won't you take my hand?
Remember what you said
What we planned
Can't you
Forget my name?
Some things change, you'll stay the same
Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
And I've changed
{Solos}
Dive into my mind
Search for some emotion you can't find
Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
Feel numb
No pain
I'm lost
And I've changed........
