1. Necroshine
You can take me out of my hell
You can't take the hell on out of me
Wathch me here as I get
But be careful what you see
I cut across the waste, some live and some enshrined
I look into the light of the necroshine
Don't you worry 'bout me
You know I'm doin' fine
Basking in the light
Of the necroshine
In the name of all that's sacred
In the name of misery
Watch me here as I turn red
And remember what you see
I hunger for a taste
To fill my glass with wine
Away from the right into the necroshine
Don't you ever doubt me
As you walk the line
Guided by the light
Of the necroshine
I think that I have been reborn,
Just a little better than before
I think I tried to tell myself,
That I needed just a little more
They always tried to sell me,
Hang me what I couldn't use
Always tried to get a little better,
With an offer that I can't refuse
You can take me full of fire,
you can take me as you find
Or you can leave me here, where you gonna see me
Guided by the necroshine
Don't you worry 'bout me
You know I'm doin' fine
Basking in the light
Of the necroshine
Don't you ever doubt me
As you walk the line
Guided by the light
Of the necroshine
2. Thunderhead
Nothing but lying and killing and dying in this dream
Anything better than what we better believe
No mention of freedom no glory hallelu
No mention you freedom I'm coming home for you
Life was but of a simple dream of doing what was right
Broken into pieces as day turns into night
Life was but a simple dream now all I see is red
Broken into fragments by the thunderhead
Send the word ahead don't wanna be alone
Time to wake the dead I'm coming home
Send this word ahead now I'm cast in stone
Feel the thunderhead I'm coming home
I'm coming home Thunderhead
I'm coming home Thunderhead
I'm coming home Thunderhead
I'm coming
Everyone crying and burning and frying in my dream
Everyone needs just a little bit more to believe
Intention no bleeding thinking what I have to do
Intention more bleeding I'm coming home for you
Life was just a simple dream of doing what was right
Broken into pieces when day turned into night
Life was but a simple dream now all I see is red
Broken into fragments feel the thunderhead
3. Long Time Dyin'
Seen this happen once before
with a little of touch of denial
A man on his knees he was licking the floor
like he's trying to reconcile
You fill your pot with anger,
You eat all that you can,
Tell you one thing as I look back now
I don't ever want to be that man again
Cannot feel it at all
Can't you feel it
Can't taste it at all
Can't you taste it
Then I looked him straight in the eye
And I said hey man
Are you gonna take a long time dyin'
No
Standin' on a white line
Tryin' to free my soul
Sey hey God would give me a sign
I'm actin' like a fool
I filled my heart with hatred
Puked up all I would
Tell you one thing I got on my knees
I wouldn't do it again even if if I could
Can't feel it at all
Can't you feel it
Can't taste it at all
Can't you taste it
Then I looked him straight in the eye
And I said hey man
Are you gonna take a long time dyin'
No
Sometimes I think it's not my fault
It's everything but me
And sometimes it's the third time
And I drown in misery
Sometimes it's the way it is
Sometimes it ain't fair
Most times I'm the architect
Who builds a just donït care
Just don't care
Happened to me once before
Little of touch of denial
I was on my knees
I was lickin' the floor
Tryin' to reconcile
Shit out a luck looks like your fucked
(reconcile)
(I don't wanna be that man again)
Can't feel it no more
Can't you feel it
Can't taste it no more
Can't you taste it
Then I looked him straight in the eye
And I said hey man
Are you gonna be a long time dyin'
No
4. It Lives
Spread it out over time and find out
Your prone to let it go
And it lives
All about the undead devotion
About to let it go
You seem to live
Drop me into the mouth of sorrow
Wait to swallow me
And it lives
Pull me out of a dead tomorrow
As I'm about to give
I seem to live
From the mouth of the gone
Laughing out loud
And it lives
from the hand of the wrong
Bury the proud
As I did
It lives
Into extinction fall the essence of life
Spiritual eclipse turns the days into nights
Whitout distinction got-got got to beleive
Threat of extinction put them down on their knees
Cold desolation calling beckoning you
Into exctinction fades the rest of what is good and true
Tearing into the last remaining
Shreds of sanity
And it lives
Pull me out of undead devotion
As I'm about to give
I want to live
From the mouth of the gone
Laughing out loud
And it lives
from the hand of the wrong
Bury the proud
As I did
From the mouth of the gone
Laughing out loud
And it lives
from the hand of the wrong
Bury the proud
As I did
It lives

6. What I'm Missing
In a wiped-out section of your sanity
Somewhere next to mine
There's a line between what is and what should be
A line you'll never find
It takes me far away from me, it keeps me where I've been
In the blackout, rage-filled, kill the sanity
No I never win
Take me far away from me safe within your heart
Take me where I cannot fall apart
Keep me close Don't let me go
Teach me what I need to know
Take the time & show me once again
What I'm missin'
There's a little somethin' eats away at me
Deep inside my soul
Behind the wall of pure insanity
Where my dark unfolds
it takes me far away from me to a darker place
In the chaos I kill sanity, it's me I cannot face
WAKE
Let the sleeping lie, let 'em drop, let 'em lay
Just let 'em die
FALL
To a brand-new high, where I drop, where I lay
Where my inner dies
TAKE
What I need inside, for the long-haul vision
For the long hard ride
WALL
That I hit head on, it's the cost, the payment
It's gone
7. New Machine (live)
Nailed to the cross by just words,
Crucifixion complete.
Close enough to the fire...
To feel temptation's heat.
It's gone away to taste the ground,
Replaced by the incessant sound of fear.
There's a ring in my ears,
I'm bleeding from my heart.
Far away from love...
The execution starts.
Made us what we are today,
A lonely pile of disarray.
We are the children of a new regime
We are the children of a new machine.
Mass production, thought controlled.
No I never knew my heart.
No. Never knew the love...
That made them fall apart.
It's gone away to taste the ground,
Replaced by the incessant sound we hear.
We are the children of a new regime
We are the children of a new machine
We are the children of a new regime
We are the children of a new machine
We are the children
Ya, the children
What of the children?
We are the children of the new machine.
What of the children?
We are the children of the new machine.
The new machine.
8. Infectious (live)
I'm a wartime killer, I'm a man
I'm a peacetime killer
Doin' the best I can
Bless yourself with a fiery hand,
Spit on the place you stand.
Don't make amends for what you do,
Or move on your demands.
Imagination running wild!
We're all an only child...
Product of our environment
Cut blown and styled
I'm a wartime killer.
I'm a man.
I'm a peacetime killer!
Doin' the best, the best I can.
I adapt to nothing, and nothing pleases me.
I'm a loaded pistol!
Just you wait and see.
Infliction, I am here.
Infection, where do we go from here?
Inception, made it clear,
As I move into the plan...
Hey! Hey! Hey!
At birth I made a deal,
Called into the killing fields I go.
I'm a wartime killer, I'm a man
I'm a peacetime killer
Doin' the best, that I can.
I adapt to nothing, and nothing pleases me.
I'm a loaded pistol!
Just you wait and see.
Bless yourself with a fiery hand,
Spit on the place you stand.
Don't make amends for what you'll do,
Or move on your demands.
Imagination running wild!
We're all an only child...
Product of our environment
Cut blown and sty-y-y-yled.
I'm a wartime killer.
Ya know what I am.
I'm a peacetime killer!
Doin' the best, best that I can.
Ya I'm a man.
Wartime killer.
Ya man...
9. Tyrant (Judas Priest cover)
Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call
(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
Your very lives are held between my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near
(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned
I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand
(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned
My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought
(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
10. Hymn 43 (Jethro Tull cover)
Oh father high in heaven -- smile down upon your son
He's busy with his money games -- his women and his gun.
Oh Jesus save me!
And the unsung Western hero, he killed an Indian or three
And then he made his name in Hollywood
To set the white man free.
Oh Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself
from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death.
Oh Jesus save me!
If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himself
from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death.
Yeah, oh Jesus save me!
Well I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon --
His cross was rather bloody --
He could hardly roll His stone.
Oh Jesus save me!
11. Revalation
Got a better night...got a better ' for somebody kill me
Got a better tight..for me it seem better
That I ever had known before
How do you see with blindness all around you
How do you understand...
and when you see the enemy surround you
When do you show hand
Got to leave it alone
Call me a nation
Got to leave it at home
Call me a brand new revelation
I am a homicide
I am a shadow waiting for a casket
I am preoccupied
You know I think
Someone want to kill me
How can you bleed with vultures all aroound you
How can you give them hope...
How can you sleep with murderers inside you
I could never cope...
I feel your cold hand lying over me
I feel the underside , your generosity
And I hear the angels singing,
Do they sing for me
I feel your cold hand
How can you sleep at night
How can you bleed with vultures all around you
How do you understand
How ca you sleep with murderers inside you
When do you show your hand...
12. Cold, Hard Fact

First out alive, is the one to survive... you are creeping...
Cold hard fact gonna get ya in the back yeah!
Cold hard fact gonna put it in ya back yeah!
A spittin' blood and teeth and guts out on ya shoes.
A kiss my ass n' born to loose. Huh.

Crossing the line, as you run out of time... are you creeping...?
Cold hard fact gonna put it in ya back yeah!
Cold hard fact gonna stick it in ya back yeah!
