1. The Hand That Feeds
I do what I can to make you happy
But what is it that you expect of me?
Everything done falls short of expectations
Will I ever live up to your extreme standards?
The hand that feeds
Is the hand that bleeds
It makes me suffer
Like no other
I live the life that you want for me
Doing all that you never got to
Am I to blame for all your failures?
You'll never correct them with my successes
The hand that feeds
Is the hand that bleeds
It makes me suffer
Like no other
I can shoulder only so much hatred
Resentment, frustration & anger
Before I begin to buckle under pressure
I must start to fight back, make my stand
The hand that feeds
Is the hand that bleeds
It makes me suffer
Like no other
Rage in my eyes, never seen before
With every blow, I hit harder than before
The pleading in your voice completely ignored
I am my own man, I live as I choose
The hand that fed
Was the hand that bled
I made it suffer
Like no other
2. Little White Room
I'm the only one, that should be in my mind
Why do they need to know, exactly what I'm thinking?
All these fucking questions, I cannot hide from them
My feelings are my own and should not concern you
My silence just brings rise, to harsher forms of questioning
Strapped to the table, they bring their mental probe
When they return me, to my little white room
I stare blankly at the wall, no longer thinking
My mind it has been, completely wiped clean
I no longer know, who I really am
Being taught to think, the way they want me to
Memories now flood back, I know now why I'm here
The walls ... crushing me!
The voices ... drowning me!
Everyone ... chasing me!
Paranoia ... killing me!
Why? Why me? Leave me alone! Leave me! Someone! Anyone! Help me! Please!!!!
There is no escape, I am trapped in here
They want to crush, my will to live again
A mindless slave, is easier to control
Fed their mindnumbing, poison everyday
Slowly it gets to me, placidly I behave
They have won the war and completely killed my brain
But man has will, that is indomitable
Slowly I wean myself, from their mind control
Fighting with myself, I make my mind my own
Never can they take, my desire for life
Or will to be, free from here once again
I would rather die, than be braindead here!
3. Bulldozer Tactics (live)
Engines roar with diesel fumes as they attack the trees
Destroyed in minutes, ruining the growth of centuries
Making pastures for their cattle, mince meat on legs
Concious-less murder, bring the earth to its knees
Don't they realise that we need air to breathe?
Food to eat & fresh water to drink
She will have her revenge when we suffocate
And the stagnant pools poison those who quench their thirst
Raping and taking all she has to offer
Making barren what once was fertile
Strip-mining lays to waste fertile farm land
We reap what we sow, go ahead eat a Kruger Rand
Is the ore you grind by the ton into sand?
Rich enough to make the effort worthwhile
Cyanide dumps make molehills out of mountains
Poisoning streams, destroying spring fountains
Tremors are felt throughout the reef
A mineshaft filled, rockfall kills with no remorse
What do we do now that she has no more to give?
Do we find another rock to make stone?
Why can't we save what we have before it's too late?
Start now it may make a change
We'll be long gone while the earth carries on
But why must we leave our mark
In the form of looting, scars, rape and pillage
How long will she sustain life if we carry on?
Raping and taking all she has to offer
Making barren what once was fertile
4. Gathering of Introverts (live)
Dream of the devil, wake in fright
shan't have my soul without a good fight
I may go to hell to rot
probably be my own fault
once I'm down there I won't complain
because I know that I am to blame
down here with me there'll definitely be others
begging, crying, pitiful mothers
He will beg and entice me
make me king of all that I see
words he uses have no pulse
promises he makes they are false
let him burn in his fire
I don't trust the fucking liar
in his hell he can stay
this is a game I don't wanna play
The devil ain't nice he ain't good
just a thieving, robbing hood
all he wants is your soul
that is his only goal
someone save me from this plight
don't think I'll survive this fight
please don't ever let him win
I won't never, never give in
Satan's warm breath in my face
nothing'll ever hide my disgrace
here I burn and suffer in vain
all this has no real gain
to my life nothing he gave
now I am his howling slave
here I'll burn for ever and ever
but submission? HELL NEVER
Now it's time for me to take over
demons are all running for cover
burning hell is my domain
become lord of all things profane
master ruler of all I see
Satan now worships me
fear evoked by my name
all that's left is eternal pain
I've now chosen my vocation
can be summoned by incantation
everything I do has its price
feelings as cold as ice
now your soul belongs to me
for I am called Mephistopheles
here I sit bored as hell
time to conquer heaven as well

7. The Dreamer
Johnny falls asleep again tonight!
things are in his dreams he cannot fight!
reality is crushing him so tight!
Johnny is the beast again tonight!
Dreams are just a screen!
Johnny feels free to roam again tonight!
Johnny dreams a way for him to fight!
The dreams are forcing people into flight!
Johnny's reign of terror rules the night!
Dreams are chasing me!
REALITY! - just a dream!
MORALITY! - just a dream!
SANCTITY! - just a dream!
SANITY! - just a dream!
Do you feel safe to dream tonight?
Rest your head and close your eyes real tight!
Johnny prowls their dreams again tonight!
I think I'll be Johnny again tonight!
Dreams are cursing me!
Running through the trees
Fact or fantasy
The dreams are chasing me
They won't leave me be
Turn around don't fight
Ignore them escape your plight
Fade away like smoke
Reality's a joke
8. Rogue Trooper
Born into - a world of pain
Angels and devils - they know my name
The battle fields - they're all the same
Screams of the dying - they come again
Fight to the end - never surrender
Forced retreat - hell never
No hate - yet I kill
Made to fight - I do their will
Following orders - I kill again
Killing others - I feel their pain
Fight to the end - never surrender
Forced retreat - hell never
What will - become of me
War's over - but I'm not free
The stench of death - it follows me
Living to kill - killing to be
Fight to the end - never surrender
Forced retreat - hell never
I live - but who am I?
Seen the truth - behind their lies
Feeling no love - or no hate
When now - I plot escape
I fought to the end - never surrendered
I played my part - now it's ended
I live now - for their pain
Fight for rights - not their gain
They used me - I'll kill 'em all
I know now - I have a soul
I fought to the end - never surrendered
I played my part - now it's ended
Knowing now - that I'm free
I have won - my victory
Living now - as a man
Not a robot - I know I am
I fought to the end - never surrendered
I played my part - now it's ended
