1. Blackout
Sleepy city in the midnight calm
All awoken by death's alarm
Frenzied panic everyone's in shock
Search-lights show the coming of the iron flock
Blockbusters falling down like rain
Birds of steel deliver death and pain
Chorus:
Blackout when the sirens sound
Bombs be fallin' y'all you better get down
Blackout all over town
Woman and children go down in the ground
Blackout (4x)
Dictators and terror kings
Invade us with their war machines
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Think we're gonna lay down and die
Ya cry "hell no"
Man the cannons and open fire
Flames of war burning higher and higher
Chorus (2x)
Blackout when the sirens sound
Yeah, the blitz is coming, oh the blitz is coming
Blackout all over town
Armageddon coming, yeah, armageddon coming
Blackout (3x)
There's gonna be a blackout!
2. Unjustified
81 billion beats the soldier's drum
Price of living too high to overcome
Politician preaching that war's the only way
While another bum dies in the streets of L.A
It's all a lie unjustified
It's all for black gold
Killing Christian, killing Hebrew
Killing Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu
You can't take life
So sayth the holy books that you read
Manipulated minds
Serving prophets of greed
It's all a lie unjustified
It's all for black gold
And another one dies unjustified
We're selling our souls
Woe to the beggars catching pity in their hands
While the rich feast on the blood media
Broadcast across the land
And somewhere there's a child in a distant house
Feeling only what children know
Fed from a cauldron of hate
Grows to deliver a badly blow
It's all a lie unjustified
And another one dies unjustified
We're all terrorized and horrified
All for black gold
3. Voodoo Hand
Late one night i was fixin' to fight
A dirty hustler tryin' to cop my $$$
When from behind a whiskey bottle
Cracked me then i hit the floor
Barely alive i could feel him drive
A black needle in to draw my blood
With an evil grin he sang a mojo hymn
And left me face down in the mud
Dark angel gonna get me
Lord, set me free
I've been cursed by a voodoo hand
Black magic all around
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Death's needle pushing down
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Well, i headed south by word of mouth
To a shack down Louisiana way
I meet another man with voodoo hands
And this is what he had to say
I feel it in my bones
That your restless soul's
Tormented by an evil curse
But if this mojo man
Got your blood in his hands
No way the spell can be reversed
Dark angel ain't gonna let me be
I've been cursed by a voodoo hand
Black magic all around
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Death's needle pushing, pushing
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Oh Lord, i'm dying
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Black magic all around
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
Cursed by a voodoo hand
Death's needle pushing down
Oh mama, pray for my soul
I'm dying on this killing ground
4. Angel
Feeling heavy, got this stone on my back
It's driving me insane
Like a levee that's beginning to crack
Holding back this river of pain
Desperation has captured my soul
My mind stricken with fear
Don't see why i should try to go on
The voice of reason's calling me
It's calling me, but i can't hear it
Oh, my hands are shaking
Rattled nerves on the verge of breaking
That blade is turning on me
Turning, turning
(Guardian)
Angel, where are you now?
No one can save me, only you know how
(Guardian)
Angel, out on a ledge
Pull me away and save me from the bleeding edge
Lonely days and lonelier nights
No love come around my door
Oh, then demons they just screamin' away
Lord, i can't take it
I can't take enough to make it go away
I'm feeling jaded
Tired eyes on the verge of fading
Oh no, oh here they come again
Trying to tell me death is my friend
(Guardian)
Angel, where are you now?
No one can save me, only you can save me now
(Guardian)
Angel, out on a ledge
Pull me away and save me from the bleeding edge
5. The Distance
So long
Since i've seen you it's been a while
Searching
I'm still searching for a smile
The distance there is between us
Doesn't ease the pain
No matter how far away you are
In my mind your eyes remain
Chorus:
Every night
I see you in my dreams
And there you'll stay
Tearing myself to pieces
Knowing things will never be the same
Your love
Is all i ever wanted to know
Moving on
It's hard to do when you can't seem to find the road
I'm so lost
Lost in the memories of yesterday
So here i am talking to your stone
All alone, running out of things to say
Chorus
Every night
I see you in my dreams
And there you'll stay
Knowing inside i must believe
In heaven we'll meet again someday
6. Seasons of Insanity
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
My shotty's cocked
I'm playing hell to win
You can't imagine
How it can consume
The game is winning
Can't avoid my doom
I guess you've noticed
That i'm not the same
Devils conspire
To control my brain
Chorus:
Yeah, i can feel
Mad seasons changing
Everything and nothing's real
My eyes are going
Yeah, i can't feel my reasons changing
Everything and nothing's real
My spirits blown away
The moon is talking
And i must comply
The dead are walking
Can't avoid their eyes
The dawn's upon me now
I cannot quit
Reduced to defecating
Where i sit, oh no
I guess you've noticed
That i'm not the same
Devils conspire
To control my brain
Chorus
Away (16x)
7. Gaia
She was born in a sea of rage
A star we call the sun forged her body
In an ancient age
She fought hard to raise us
But still we look to the stars
Seeking life in the great beyond
Life beyond this life of ours
She reigns on and on
Spinning into oblivion
Silver string
She pulls me back
Within her sentinel moon
Shielding me from the lifeless black
When all her children leave
I will stay behind
To guard the queen
And hold the line
She reigns on and on
Spinning into oblivion
Oh, she's divine
The envy of all around her
Oh, a beautiful aura of blue surrounds her
She reigns on and on
Spinning into oblivion
She reigns on and on
Spinning into oblivion
Oh, she's divine
The envy of all around her
Oh, the mystical aura of life
Surrounds her
After all is dead and gone
Her spirit lives on forever
8. Loosin' You
Well, it's all over now
You see i'm leaving you for good
Ya just don't pay me no mind
And ya don't treat me like you should
You know you don't
You know you don't
Girl, i'm tired of begging
You got me down on my knees
There ain't no two ways about it, baby
You got to love me or let me be
That's what i...that's what i said
I've heard your lies a thousand times
Like a fool i believed you
Damn, i must be blind
Not this time i'm walking out that door
Way beyond forgiveness i can't take it no more
Yeah, people been talkin'
They say ya been sleeping around
Oh no, oh no
Now that i'm walkin', baby
So tell me who you doin' now
Yeah, like i really wanna know
I've heard those lies so many times
Like a fool i believed you
God, i must be blind
Not this time i'm walking out that door
Way beyond forgiveness i can't take it no more
God knows i've tried
Done all i can do
Still i can't seem to get through to you
I need a woman who understands
How to love
How to love
How to love a man
You just don't understand
Ya think love is a late night booty call
Well, if i didn't hit it, baby
You wouldn't come around here at all
Oh, you know it's true
These cryin' eyes are seein' clear
Don't you even dare
Don't you even dare to try and tell me what i wanna hear
Not this time i'm walking out that door
We're way beyond forgiveness
I can't take it no more
God knows i've tried
Done all i can do
Still i can't seem to get through to you
I need a woman who understands
How to love
How to love
How to love a man
9. Saucey Jack
Friday night
I'm on the prowl
With Saucey Jack and Captain Coke
Rollin' cannons and i'm fanning the greens
Feelin' mean
Feelin' rock and roll
Chorus:
I need a kick in the ass
Need a blast
I want a fast girl or two
Oh Lord, dirty livin' gonna kill me
But oh i love it so
Ya know i do
Old vices got me down
Damn dope callin' my name
Everyday i play a losing hand
But i refuse to quit the game
Lord, have mercy
Chorus
Blowin' lights all over town
I got to move, i got to go
Livin' life on a razor's edge
Kiss the bones and let 'em roll
Roll, baby, roll
Chorus
I need a kick in the ass
Need a blast
I want a fast girl or two
Oh Lord, i know it's gonna kill me
But i gotta do
What i got to do
Alright
10. We Will Fly
Well, here we are
It's the world against us again
Again and again
Heartbreak after heartbreak
We force the wings of love into the wind
Again and again
All our lives we struggled
I've come to realize
I've always found the strength to fight
When i see your eyes
In your eyes
Chorus:
We will fly, you and i
Wherever we go
Whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard
But it's just another bend
Just another little bend in the road
Oh yes, it is
Just a little bend
A little bend in the road
Where do they go?
Youthful years, they slip away
Far, far away
Been gone too long
Home is where i want to stay
Always, always
For so long we struggled just to get by
I've always found the strength to fight
When i see your eyes
In your eyes
Chorus
So here we are
Playing the same old game again
Again and again
Against the odds
We seem to find a way to win
Again and again
All of life's a struggle
You've come to realize
In faith you find the strength to climb
To reach the skies
Chorus
11. Atomic Soul
