1. Rise
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
So many promises
From master to slave
All lies and emptiness
From the cradle to the grave
We don't need words but action
We want it here
We want it now
What do you think they're doing
For you and me
Better save your life from ruin
[Chorus:]
Rise up
Cry out to the nation
Rise up
Break out off your shell
Rise up
TV generation
Rise up
Go out give'em hell
You've got to clean your claws
Don't take no more
Don't have to hide away
From the colour of your skin
And you don't have to bare the cross
And suffer from their sins
Got to believe in something
Though you have faith in nothing
Life's like a bullet to your head
You've got to come out
What's your conclusion
Now do you believe
In a silent revolution
Rise up
Cry out to the nation
Rise up
Break out from your shell
Rise up
TV generation
Rise up
Go out give them hell
Rise up
Don't put your trust in the flames of the flag
Who's gonna wash of he blood form the tracks
When do the lion
Lie down with the lamb
When do we drop down
The guns form our hands
You see we build this world on solid ground
Do you wanna see it all come down
[Chorus]
2. Scream
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Don't remember now
Can't recall somehow
Black holes spotting your memory
So you fell from grace
Tears run down your face
See yourself as the enemy
And now you find yourself
Along the road to nowhere
To find the road leads back to you
Into obscurity
Where darkness blinds in despair
You're running scared
Inside the world where you live
You can be who you wanna be
Look in the mirror
See what you wanna see
[Chorus:]
Scream
Until some one hears your calling
Scream
We don't hear nothing at all
Needle kills the pain
Nothing cures the blame
Feel the fear rising from the deep
Better taste of sin
Razor cross your skin
Better pray for your soul to keep
What do your see outside
The windows that surrounds you
Around your twisted human shell
Now do you hear what other people
Say about you
Look at yourself and suffer
Dive into hell you unholy and rotten
Lay down among the abandoned forgotten now
[Chorus]
And when you sleep at night
Your friends will come alive
You cannot run you cannot hide
Escape from who's inside you
Manic depressive gloom
Reflects your mental wounds
It's creeping up behind you
The serpent crawls inside you
Forever to decline you
3. Psycho-Time-Bomb-Planet-Earth
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Purify my soul
Someone clear my eyes
Tell me if the grass looks greener
On the other side
1994
Rotten to the core
Power seeking parasites
Outside your door
Who'll offend you
Bend you
Condemn you
Tell you how to run your life
Steal away your prid
[Chorus:]
Throw your face into the dirt
Psycho-time-bomb-planet-earth
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me if the sky is falling down
Hey you dogs of war
Defenders of the flag
Tell'em just to shove it up
And burn their body bags
Sex kill terror anarchy
Kiss the dirt taste the pain
Pass the panic to the population now
I see torture
Betrayal
And disorder
Mama let me out of here
Aint no place for me no!
[Chorus]
Going through the mud
An endless flood
A sea of blood
Hatred and madness
The demons seed is sown
Beneath your feet
Inside your head
[Chorus]
I can't stop this ship from sinking
Lord I hear the bombs are thkking
Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Tell me if the sky is falling down
4. This Love
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Girl do you remember
Back when we were worlds apart
Those days are over
Now we're standing heart to heart
Even in a summer love
A little rain must fall
But if we still believe in love
Then love will conquer all
I recall I do remember when
But it has changed a lot
Since now and then
[Chorus:]
No one can put out this fire
So close
No one can take this away
This love
Just lift us higher and higher
I know
Without your love
I wouldn't last a single day
Girl I've gone through heartaches
From paradise to pain
I'd go the distance girl
To shield you from the rain
Climb the highest mountains
Sail she seven seas
Just to show you that the river
Runs for you and me
Now this love is like a solid rock
We gotta hold on babe
To what we got
[Chorus]
High on emotion
We want the nights to last forever
Wild-eyed devotion
We'll fly up high and touch the sky
Like a ball and chain
We're linked together
When it all stand still
When there's only you and noone else
And if you want me to I'd swear to you
There ain't no thing that love can't do
It'll take us of the ground
Everywhere and all around
5. Walk Away
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Here we are standing at a crossroads baby
Can't seem to make a move
Don't know which way to choose
We used to fly into the heavens
On the wings of an angel
An everlasting fire
An eternal cruise
Those were the good times
Stolen moments underneath a full moon rising
We both laid down with love
And woke up with lies
Gonna give it one more try
Here we are picking up the pieces
Trying to get this puzzle together
We need a cure for this disease
A heeling hand
Though our love has come to a dead end street
And we're stuck where happiness
And heartache meet
[Chorus:]
You see we can't give it up
It's not too late
You need a little love
Don't hesitate
I swear I'll give it all I've got
To make you stay
So don't you walk away
Once a time and place
There was a bond between us
Something sacred something innocent
We need a star that doesn't fade
And wherever it might lead us
We gotta follow in our hearts direction
I got a feeling girl
We're gonna crash into love
How can you back down baby
When love is all around
And it's here to stay
I'll be determined to defend
A tower of strength
Though the best laid plans
Sometimes go astray
There's a guarantee that love will find a way
[Chorus]
A heart needs love
Like the desert needs the rain
And I need you girl
Each and every day
We'll do the things babe
That other fantasies
Women we just need a little confidence
In each other
6. No Messiah
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
You want me a simple man
To lead you on to the Promised Land
So unreal don't you see
Behind the mask
There's a devil in me
I'm rolling thunder
I'm sun I'm shine
Slowly slipping under
I'm more than meets the eye
[Chorus:]
I love I hate
I swear I lie
I'm just like any other guy
I'm right I'm wrong
A prodigal son
Set souls on fire
I'm no messiah
And you won't like
What you'll find
Sometimes I've got a sick mind of mind
In these arms
You'll be sad
Cause I feel good when you're feeling bad
You see I'm complicated
Not just black and white
I'm devastated
You see I'm Jeckyll and Hyde
[Chorus]
If you step into my world my friend
You'll find another part of me
Gotta sin to be saved
On the other side of life you'll se
[Chorus]
I win I loose
The naked truth
So hard to face
When you can't choose
I've never worn
A crown of thorns
I'm no messiah
7. In A World Of Your Own
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Let your love rain down on me
Be my poet and my preacher
And give me reason to believe
That you'll be there
If I should need you
Here you whisper in the summer wind
I still see you shine in the horizon
Now come to me as my long lost friend
I'll never let you down
[Chorus:]
But you're living in a world of your own
Where innocence glows
So far from this heart of mine
I would travel destinations unknown
To see if you still remember
The promises we once mad
I took the apple form the tree
I was a child for your temptation
Guess I was always meant to be
Heading our for your direction
Like a gypsy or a refugee
I'm rambling around in blind confusion
But nothing ever seems to come
Down my street
I'm just a heartbroken man
[Chorus]
When the fire goes dead
And my world is apart
Will you forgive and forget
Be the light in the dark
Wont you wet my lips
When the bottle runs dry
Tell me is the truth
Just another lie
Like the river untamed
Like a mother and child
Like the wind and the rain
The earth and the sky
Let the colours of love
Float into one
We'll be one
We could be one
[Chorus]
8. Don't Turn Your Sex On Me
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
When I wake up in the morning
All wrapped up in sheets
On your silk covered bed
Skin on skin softly warming
If loving you is living
I'd be better off dead
Try to break away
But you wont let go
Tearing me apart
When the lights are low
You drag me through the fire
Giving me that innocent virgin look
Slap me in the face
While you've got me on the hook
You're the devil and desir
[Chorus:]
You turn your sex on me
You blind me to my knees
Black hearted woman please
Don't turn your sex on me
You're the goddess of temptation
Use me up abuse me then you crucify me
You got me wrapped around your finger
I'm stuck inside your shadow
Deeply hypnotised
I bet you're feeling good
When you got me down
Walking on the moon
While I hit the ground
You know just how to bend my will
Hardheaded woman got a hold on me
Still you got me running for your company
You know it's the passion that kills
[Chorus]
Don't ever let a stranger
Into your heart
I should have seen the danger signs
Right from the start
Knocking on my door
Come into my room
Leave me in a spell
With your sweet perfume
Then you take me, bend me, shape me
Raging like a fire
In the heat of sin
Baby feels hot like a desert wind
You're animal and innocence
9. Adrenaline Junkie
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Gonna push it to the limit
Fly like a bird
Tale a one-way ticket
Into another world
Got to be close to the edge
Makes you feel alive
The adrenalin flow
Eats you up inside
Won't you tell us what it's like
Tell us how it feels
It's a suicidal ride
Unreal
It thrills you
Gotta feel that rush
Well it could kill you
'Cause it's a lethal lust
Every hour on the hour
You're driven by desire
Closer to the fire
[Chorus:]
Adrenalin junkie
You're burning out fast
You never slow down
Nor save the best for last
The higher you're climbing
The harder you fall
Adrenalin junkie
You want it all
In your eyes the wildfire rage
The inner voice still scream
Like a rocket into space
Always the first in line
You stand up to the test
High speed on borrowed time
Your body never rest
Every hour on the hour
You feel your pulse is rising
No compromising
[Chorus]
Living in the fast lane
Always in the lead
No mountain high enough
To fulfil your needs
There's no limit's you won't pass
No risk you wont take
You're a wave about to crash
A storm about to break
Time and time again
You're feeling the flame that burns within you
You're never gonna stop
Every hour on the hour
Your heart is beating faster
Headin' for disaster
[Chorus]
10. Anytime Anywhere
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
I feel like stranded alone
On a desert island
Down and out wounded
In this heart of mine
Your final words still echoes inside
I pick up your letter
See trails of your poisoned pen
But it only reminds me
Of the bitter end
Recall your face and your accusing eyes
And I don't know
How to face a new tomorrow
Now that yesterday seems so faraway
[Chorus:]
Anytime and anywhere
You call me up I'll be right there
To hold your close to keep you safe and warm
And if you find you need someone
To give you strength to carry on
I'll cover you and rest you in my arms
From now until the end of time
You were my precious stone
My pride and joy
But I was nothing but a trouble boy
Who had it all
Then threw it all away
Now good intentions are not enough
But you can count me in
When times get tough
I'll fight for you
Stand up for you
And I'd die for you
Now it seems a long, long time
Since I held you near me
And I feel my heart
Is tangled up in chains
[Chorus]
I never meant to hurt you
I never wanted it to be this way
God I wish you would have stayed
[Chorus]
But I still love you
I'm thinkin' of you
Girl I need you so
And I know
That you're somewhere out there
Girl I need your love
I still need your love
