1. Coma
Sleeping with a time bomb
Rumble in my dreams
Innocence been long gone
Fall apart at the seams
Looking through the windows, walking through the doors
I can't help this feeling, I been here before
Everything is different, Everything the same
I know the rules, I played the game!
Cry out! Tell me what its gonna be!
Reach out! Is everything the same...?
Cry out! Tell me what you really see!
Reach out!
A coma steals my name...
Coma... Coma... Coma!
Wake to an explosion
Nothing seemed so real
Innocence corroding
Alone is all I feel
Reaching out to no one, knowing no one's there
Afraid to be afraid of another nameless fear
I got all the reasons, don't need no more
Blinded by illusions, locked behind the door
Cry out! Tell me what its gonna be
Reach out! Is everything the same...?
Cry out! Tell me what you really see
Reach out!
An' a coma stole my name...
Coma! Coma! Coma!
Sleeping now forever
Murdered in my dreams.
Innocence was never
Goin' to extremes.
Busting through the windows, kickin' down the doors
Standing up for me, never did before
Now I lay me down to sleep, and if I die before I wake
Cry out! Tell me what you really see
Reach out! Is everything the same...?
Cry out! Tell me what it's gonna be
Reach out! An' a coma stole my name...
Coma... Coma... Coma!
I'm outta the dive an' comin' alive.
2. Hello From the Gutter
All those dreams and broken glass.
Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash.
Never to be seen again.
Now you're makin' a home in a garbage can!!!
But here's a little story that I lived to tell.
Hello from the gutter!
Hello from our little hell...!
Wasted days, watsed nights.
Hypnotized by the city lights!
Another king, another queen.
Livin' in the shadows so they can't be seen!
Remember all the world lies at your feet.
And the big apple's rotten,
Rotten in the heat.
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter.
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter!!!
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter.
Hello! Hello!
Hello from the gutter...!!!
Gutter child, sweet sixteen.
Broadway stars that have never been!!!
All those dreams and broken glass,
Swept down the sewer with the rest of the trash.
Well here's a little story that we lived to tell.
Hello from the gutter!
Hello from our little hell...!
Hello from the gutter.
Hello from the gutter. Hey!
Welcome the the gutter!
We've been expecting you!
3. Elimination
terminal, what disease
told me too late
what's this cough and wheeze
fatal, you're shittin' me
a second opinion
is what I need
laughin' in a windstorm
blowin' all the cornstalks down
cryin' in a funeral home
forward my mail, six feet underground
elimination

elimination
contagious, say why not
not just me
waitin' to rot
painful, yeah I know
it couldn't be easy
when I had to go
i'm yankin' on my plug
and I can't seem to get it loose
pullin' all the stops
your ideals change. when you got
nothing to loose.

if I had just one more day
i'd turn it all around
i'd make a play of good, clean livin'
and dig me out of the ground
and if I had just one more day
i'd say it to your face
pull the plug on everyone
eliminate this race.
we want to cure
and we want it now.
reissue hope
we don't care how
you're makin' a mess
diseasin' a nation
runaway train to elimination
hopeless there's no doubt
set on a slow burn
from the inside out
carefully say what for
last one out
closes the coffin door
spendin' all you saved
and wishin' for a little more
if i'm lookin' at the ceilin'
then I must be layin' on the floor.

pullin' on nails, six feet underground.

4. World of Hurt
Aggravation, fuelin' me,
Money powered, hypocracy.
I have no feelings, you're much the same.
We have no feelings, we feel no pain!
I am numb to all I see,
This the way it has to be,
Gone is hope, gone is need,
I know! stone don't bleed.
What's it worth? if I die.
What's the reason? they all cry.
I have no feelings, too much the same,
Not my problem, I feel no blame.
We are blind and we are cold,
We're afraid of growing old.
We are numb to all we see,
Nothing sacred.
Backs turned to madness,
Backs to misery and I put the,
Brush to the canvas!
An' paint a world!
Paint my world of:
Hurt!
World of hurt. Of hurt.
We are blind and we are cold,
Still afraid of growing old.
We are numb to all we see,
Nothing sacred.
Hurt!!!
Paints my world of hurt.
Paints my world, in my world of!
In my world of hurt!!!
5. Wrecking Crew
Ain't no job too big or small,
Just one sweep of the wreckin' ball
Put 'em up, we'll knock 'em down,
Or knock 'em up, then leave town
Demolition of the mind
Desolation, left behind
Light the fuse, dynamite
Light the sky! in the night!
We're gonna walk
All over you
'Cause we are
The wreckin', wreckin' crew!
We are the wreckin' crew
Wreckin' crew!
We are the wreckin' crew
Destruction is a way of life
Destruction, mayhem, havoc, strife
Crack a smile, hear the sound
Watch 'em crumble to the ground
Innocence ain't no excuse,
Slip your neck inside the noose
Pay in blood I demand,
The wreckin' crew is outta hand
We'll wreck your neck!
Wreckin' crew!
Get wrecked!
Turn to ashes, turn to dust
We're the ones that you can trust
Evil smile, wicked grin,
Tear it down, begin to sin
Think that you will end it all,
There's no one left to ball or call
When there ain't nothin' left to do,
Call upon, the wreckin' crew!
We'll wreck your neck!
Wreckin' crew!
Yer wreck!
Ah! Wreckin' crew!
Wreck! Wreck!
6. Powersurge
Leave... don't try.
They die to get inside.
A falling out, between you and your pride.
No... don't go.
There's something you should know.
This blinding light, can tear apart your soul.
Shattered dreams.
Are not all that they seem.
The light can change from white to blue to green.
Left to right.
There's power in the night.
And the powersurge,
Driven by the light!
Power! building up,
Power! all around you,
Power! you feel it.
Power! a powersurge!
Stay... away.
There's something I must say.
This light reduces all that's in it's way.
In... the dark.
Ignited by a spark.
A fire burns, a fire makes its mark!
See the flash.
A mountain turns to ash.
Recollection, echos of the past.
Right to left,
Power's what you get.
And the powersurge,
Isn't over yet!
Power! building up,
Power! it's coming back,
Power! feel it.
Power! powersurge!
Coming out of the sun.
There are battles to be won.
Colors change from blue to red.
Forgotten heros, piles of dead.
A mass of steel, down in flame.
Powersurge remains the same.
Comandeer turns to dust,
The mass of steel begins to rust...
Power! building up,
Power! coming back,
Power! in the air!.
Power! a powersurge!
7. Rotten to the Core
I have got a secret, hidden behind my eyes.
A violation tragedy! of violence hate and lies.
Locked deep within a chamber, dark reccesses of my mind...
A tribute to insanity! through hours days and time.
Rotten! to the core
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more.
Accusations nominal! fall rotten to the core.
So take a look, read a book, reach a new plateau...!
But stain the soul a life you took,
you know not what I know.
Rotten! to the core
Misguided youth the bitter truth
Nothing left to chance...
Fallen angel seeking adventure, new romance.
How dare you touch you take the soul
Of one so pure so... white..!
The violation tragedy
Took all she had that... night!!!
Rotten! to the core
I have got a secret hidden behind my eyes.
A violation tragedy! of violence hate and lies.
Recite the testimonial, truth and nothing more.
Accusations nominal! fall rotten to the core.
Rotten! to the core
To the core!
Rot rot, rot rot, rot
Rot rot, rot rot, rotten! rotten! rot!
To the core!!!
8. Horrorscope
Critical moments pass,
As doctrines of fools will last.
I am just trying to cope,
Into my horroscope.
Through eyes and ears they bleed,
Reciting their holy creed.
Heeding but one request,
The future is put to rest...
Bless me in darkened days,
Down to my knees I pray.
I am just trying to cope,
Within this horrorscope.
In the wake of all frustration,
I begin to loose control.
Watched as the weapons fired,
Bombs bursting in the air...
Burned in the fields of fire!
Standing in the middle of nowhere.
Watched as the weapons fired,
Baptized in fields of fire!
Well the change is here, an' the future clear.
I can feel it coming.
So full of hate, its geting late!
Yeah, I know its coming.
When all the choice turned to just one voice,
Yeah, the wind is turning.
This is your horrorscope...
Words laced with blasphemy,
Drip with sincerity.
Falling into the plan,
Like sacrificial lambs.
Hearing the words and said,
Rings like nail, to the head.
Now I can see the stars,
I know we have gone too far.
Watched as the weapons fired,
Bombs bursting in the air...
Baptized in fields of fire,
Wathched as the weapons fired.
Well the change is here, an' the future clear.
I can feel it coming.
So full of hate, its geting late!
Yeah, I know its coming.
When all your choice turned to just one voice,
Yeah, the wind is turning.
Well the change is here, an' the future clear.
I can feel it coming.
So full of hate, its geting late!
Yeah, I know its coming.
When all your choice turned to just one voice,
Yeah, the wind is turning.
This is your horrorscope.
9. Skullkrusher
standin' at the crossroads
which way you gonna go
and what you gonna do
when it comes
bargainin with gasoline
take a ride on this machine
gonna get me some
when it comes
just how far you gonna go
somebody should let you know
once you're in you ain't get it out
put aside your foolish pride
so you take just one more ride
I don't think you know
what it's about
here it comes
ridin' on a livin hell
got another soul to sell
right is right and wrong is wrong
life's a dream
on this machine
and lasts just about as long
so ya think you know it all
and when you ride you never fall
well I got some news for you
entice you with a wicked smile
take a ride for a while
seems that the news is true
yes it's true.
oh take me away
on the ride of your life
oh put me away
deathpusher
oh take me away
last time of my life
skullkrusher
ten thousand nightmares
ten thousand years
ten thousand martyrs crying
ten million tears
all the thinking never done
all the murder all the fun
wash the blood from your hands
bury your secrets in the sand
and forget
your mouth gonna dry
shortness of breath
symptoms of fear
symptoms of death
tracks go on for miles
through the agony and smiles
layin' there in pieces on the ground
what the hell you take a chance
krusher calls make your stance
when you're dead you never make a sound
racin' with the devil
engine's slowin' down
fifty years too early
you're laying underground... you're krushed
oh take me away
on the ride of your life
oh put me away
deathpusher
oh take me away
last time of my life
skullkrusher
10. Thanx for Nothin'
Sick and tired of the same ol' shit.
Fighting battles that I just can't win.
How can you tell me what it is you want
When you don't even know yourself?
Live your life one death at a time,
See the road, can't read the signs.
All the wrongs just can't be right,
Hear my bark for you feel my bite!
If you could only see what you wanted us to see.
If you could only be what you wanted us to be.
I ain't fallin' for the tricks the schemes, the same old lies.
When it's over cry for sympathy,
Don't ask why.
Thanks for nothin'
Yeah I said nothin'
Next time better think before you speak.
I dunno if I can take no more,
I'm baggin' it I'm out the door.
How can you say you know what I mean
as you're pissin' all over my life?
Time is precious, time is mine.
Waitin' here would just be fine.
Bless my soul, time has come,
Tide has turned! see Dick run!!!
If you could only be what you wanted us to be.
If you could only see what you wanted us to see.
I ain't fallin' for the tricks the schemes, the same old lies.
When it's over cry for sympathy,
Don't ask why.
Thanks for nothing,
It better be nothing.
Next time better think before you speak!
You never think! before you speak.
Sometimes think! before you speak.
I've been watching you.
Barely stand to look you in the face
All tolerance not popularity
There is someone here to take you place
Why don't you think! before you speak.
You never think! before you speak!
If you could only see what you wanted us to see.
If you could only be what you wanted us to be.
I ain't fallin' for the tricks the schemes, the same old lies.
When it's over cry for sympathy,
Don't ask why.
Thanks for nothing! Thanks for nothing!
Next time better think before you...
Hit the road.
