1. Violent Tribe
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Join the crowd of leaches
Outcast of the world
Gathered are the species
All the misfits of the earth
The subhuman nation
Terrifying scene
Second hand civilisation
Violent in extreme
All are we covered by blackened clouds
See how we rot from the inside and out
Hold on to yourself
Stick to your guns
law of the jungle
The truth here is worse than the lie
All numb
Hearts made of steel
Fear for your life
Cause the violent tribe is for real
Culture of destruction
Dead society
Never turn your back
cause you don't know your enemy
Chaos and disorder
Like a third world war
Blood flows like water
In this stinking sour
Out here where life is worth nothing to some
Down in the gutter your second to none
Never close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
CHORUS
Among this scum
in this miserable slum you're alone
you cannot run you cannot escape
there's no getaway
there ain't no sanctuary there's no relief
no way out of here
Children of aggression
Twenty first century trash
A terror vision
In your face
In your face
Kill for no reason
And show no remorse
Brothers in treason
Reject from the laws
Hold your spirit high
CHORUS
2. Carpe Diem
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Following my intuition
Guided by my inner vision
Life's to short for intermissions here
Live it to the full extension
Crash into a new dimension
Burning out with no exeption, yeah
There ain't no other life no second chance
I don't believe in miracles
There ain't no mountain high no fellow man
To stop me from this course I've planned
Carpe diem got to cease the day
Live here and now like tomorrow's too late
Carpe diem there's no time to waste
Life is for living no reason to wait
Shinning like a nuclear sun
Shooting like a laser bomb
I just want my share of fun for sure
I feel like flying without feathers
Diving into never never
I wish I could live forevermore
I got to eat up every moment
Won't let a second slip away
Ain't gonna back down I'll be rolling on
Every minute of the day
Just like a highway
Don't know where it ends
Don't know where I'm going
Or where it will lead me
Life still excites me
On dreams I dependbr
My future is glowing
A magical feeling
CHORUS
3. Tortured Spirits
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
There's something deep within I can't get rid of it
Something inside me causing horror in my head
I'm a stranger to myself
Don't know what I'm doing
Know what I'm doing
Tortured spirit haunting me
Playing with my sanity
Taking over steal my soul
I'm in a mental stranglehold
Don't want to share myself with you or someone else
What kind are you to split my mind and bend my will
Just get out of my life
Now why don't you leave me
why don't you free me
Chorus
And when my better part has gone
My alter ego still lives on
we're two persons in one
I can't break the bonds
Tortured spirit haunting me
Playing with my sanity
Taking over steal my soul
I'm in a mental stranglehold
Tortured spirit leave me be
Now tell me what you want from me
Taking over steal my soul
Tortured spirit don't do it oh no
4. Wouldn't Miss You
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
A love explosion
One big bang
Like a supernova
One outstanding date with her
Just one flash
And I was spellbound
Love came crashing right into my world
But now she says she's leaving me
that love ain't what it used to be
But I won't let go
I can't let go
I wouldn't miss you for the world
I wouldn't miss one day without you
I couldn't live without you girl
I wouldn't miss the things that we do
And nothing in this world could come between
The queen of all my dreams
And all that glitter
All that grace
No such love would come my way
Without you
And girl you're all that matters to me
no broken hearts or shattered dreams
won't do us no good
Now all want is high romance
I've had my share of one night stands
But it's over now
It's all over now
Chorus: And no one in this world could play your part
You had my heart held hostage from the start
Let me cut down to the bone
Well It's much to my regret
I was the first to cast the stone
Now why can't you forget
She's my woman
She's my fire
Everything to me
CHORUS
5. Clay
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
I've been drifting around this world a stranger
Been lost in empty space
I've been reaching out to find my saving grace
And I've lived a life of no direction
I've walked the endless mile
I was down and out until I met you child
I want you to take me hold me
Shape me as you please
Want you to love me
I'm down on bended knees
I will be clay inside your hands
I long for your embrace
Let the light of love
Shine upon my face
I've been tangled up in disillusion
Been stuck inside this shell
I was blind to anything around myself
And I've been tied up in this no mans land
This empty wilderness
Found the kiss of life in the fire from your breath
CHORUS
And finally found that my destiny
Didn't crash on tireless waves
Now that love has been blessing me
I'm unchained
CHORUS
6. Poisoned Pleasures
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
I see you on the street and while your eyes are bleeding
I see you shake his hand while buying dreams for cash
You need that trip
You'd die for it
You're of the ground now
You feel that rush
That instant high
Poisoned pleasures
Chemical treasures inside
Disease you mislead you and finally defeats you
Change your behaviour
It will enslave you for life
Blinds you divides and desensitize you
You might as well just face that you're addicted to it
And everyone can see your candle's burning low
It runs your life
Kills your pride
Steals your money
You need that stuff
The wings to fly
CHORUS
Kill yourself to live
Every pleasure has its price
Life is what you give away
CHORUS
7. Until It Dies
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Since it began
Since the dawning of days
It's been rearing it's head
Along the way
Ever since man
Crawled out of the sea
We've been pledging our souls
To purgatory
Now ever since we kissed the serpents tongue
Betrayed by lust we await it's coming
Caged in fright of the chosen one
And there ain't no hope until it dies
Into of oblivion
enter the devils womb
unholy origin
come days of doom
no mercy it's breeding fear
our final hour is here
life as we know it has gone forever more
storms are growing
heaven awaits the pure
kneel to pray
this holocaust
we're helpless
defenceless
Death and disorder
plagues and torture
living the undivine
nothing is sacred
terminal hatred
covered in sin
evil intention
holy dimension
purity for the swine
but there ain't no cure
we're in decline
We're stillborn
We're dead meat
We're no one
Until it dies
We're stillborn
We're bad breed
We're no one
Until it dies
Heaven is burning
The sky is fiery red
Souls are yearning
Uprising among the dead
We're faithless
And abandoned
Forsaken generation
Rage and agony
Pain and tragedy
Now insanity reigns
Screaming in anguish
Towering madness
Not of this earth
Death of innocence
Pay your penance
and greet the devil in shame
and there ain't no hope until it dies
Chorus
And as I fear this ancient myth
My only comfort is my death
The cross of sin is hard to bare
One day the devil take his share
8. The Unwritten Pages
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Everyday routine
Just the same old scene
There's no love between us
It's dying
If I will you wont
If you do I don't
Love is skin and bone
Accusation's flying
Now there's nothing that could solve our differencies
And change our acts of no address
We're only suffering from our reality
It's just a game of hit and miss
All the bridges left behind
The bliss we couldn't find
All the unwritten pages
We don't know what is to come
We can not see beyond
The unwritten pages
No more bitter pills
Mental overkill
We just fool ourselves
All this fuzz and fighting
No more vicious words
All they do is hurt
No more throwing dirt
Girl we're sliding
There ain't no cure for all this heartbreak overload
Our lives are left in disarray
We're holding on to something we lost so long ago
We should have gone our separate ways
Chorus
Now love is colder
Like the river turning ice
There ain't no feelings to restore
They're gone forevermore
Nothing to work out
Nothing to retain
You see there ain't no common ground
No passion to be found
We ought to know
9. For Once In Your Life
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Hanging by the phone waiting impatiently
I'm in a minor key but still there's no reply
Sitting counting days going through endless nights
But baby still the light of your star fills my sky
Here we are facing trouble again
We've been down this road before
There ain't no point in this struggle my friend
Love will find away
For once in your life
Give in to surrender
Let the tears of your pride
Flow away in the rain
And start all over
All you left was just a bunch of photographs
The slices of the past and now we're worlds apart
But baby your picture makes no substitute
It can't replace the beauty the fire in your heart
And now we're stuck with all the hurting and lies
All the foolish things we say
Maybe we both could need a pair of new eyes
And see things the same now baby
Chorus
If love still stand a chance
Life still goes on
In the name of romance
You're still the one
Girl without your love I feel so out of place
A man without a face my heart has broke in two
I'm feeling blue
So girl you've got to give me all your tenderness
You know that one sweet kiss will make my dreams come true
I'm beggin for you
Why don't we break the chain of pain and reach out
For the healing hands of love
And rediscover what it's all about
And let love begin now baby
Chorus
Lets start all over
All over again
10. They're All Alike
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Big brothers watching
You're under control
Detecting all you do
Every step down the road
They'll take your decisions
When your mind is weak
They'll paint you a vision
but never practice what they preach
Promise you gold as their stretching the truth
Two faced and all full of lies
Beg for your vote deceiving the youth
Leave you divided inside
They're all alike
All they do is speaking words of incomplete
They're all alike
They're just gonna skim the top
And feed their greed
You're just a number
A brick in the wall
You'll come undone
When they've left you
with nothing at all
Manipulate you
Impose you their will
Disintegrating the fortress
You've build around yourself
They try to school you and blur your believes
Compel you their self made designs
Don't let them fool you don't let them mislead you
with their cynical minds
CHORUS
Their hearts are frozen their heads are diseased
As they fly on mighty wings
Their ego grows as their power increase
As they pull the strings
CHORUS
11. Time Awaits For No One
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
So many things I'd like to do
So many dreams yet to come true
So many wasted hours on my tail
So many broken promises
So many lies and sweet regrets
precious moments that went down the drain
but there's no time to loose
no need for bad excuses now
the clock is ticking
all those days are flicking by somehow
and I'm still stranded
but time awaits for no one
time just keeps on going
time awaits for no one
time just keeps on rolling by
so many people that I've hurted
so many visions I've deserted
all those stupid things I've said and done
and so much love I did not give
so much life I never lived
and one to many yesterdays have gone
I can't reset to zero
Can't rewind as years go by
I can't defect from
All the bad reflectionsof my life
So here I'm standing
CHORUS
Can't beat the clock
Race against time
It goes on eternally
It never stops
Runs out of line
Oh no
CHORUS
12. Invisible Chains
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Something about her
I can't figure out
But there's something that doesn't seems right
something behind that peculiar smile
emotionally crippled inside
The invisible chains that eternally binds you
the strength of your pain will remain to remind you
Once you get burned you get marked for the rest of your life
She's living in shame
she's distressed from the stains
suffer the scars of her youth
if only she could
renounce to her childhood
and run away from the truth
But nobody take a notice
and nobody ever did
Chorus
Hurt and absent
And a life in contempt
never no question was asked
now there ain't no hide out
she can't conceal herself
facing the ghost of the past
It's a no one situation
and nobody wants to know
Chorus
She believed in love
And now she lives in the non - existence
Like a wounded bird
She's trying to get of
To spread her wings and fly
Fly away
Chorus
