1. In The News
Did you get a chance to read the news today
People with power having their own way
Stealing our money and bending the law
Blind to injustice deaf to us all
Criminals - ruling the streets
Gang wars - no time for retreat
No one's safe - could be you tonight
Deadly playground - constricts you as you fight
Its all in the news
Its affecting you
Its all in the news
Its affecting you
Six O'clock news your drawn to the screen
Plunged into reality the worst of all your dreams
With all this warfare who will survive
Serving their countries losing their lives
Boob tube - its calling you name
This negative reality is destroying your brain
Exaggerate - Blown way out of proportion
I'm wondering what you see in all this social distortion
Its all in the news
Its affecting you
Its all in the news
Its affecting you
Music edited movies rated
Yet t.v news uncensored
Eating up the media
Many young minds are fractured
Democracy or supposed to be
Rules and laws neglected
I think its time we took a stand
Speak out - let them know what you think
Nows the time to act because the worlds on the brink
Fight back - you gotta do what's right
Don't give up don't lose the fight
Its all in the news
Its affecting you
Its all in the news
Its affecting you
2. Beginning Of The End
All I see is darkness now
It's tearing dragging me down
Hand of fate has come for me
Why can't you just leave me be
Black sights surrounding me
What waits around the bend
It's finally come it's now begun
The beginning of the end
A life I though was just begun
But now my soul is on the run
I can't believe I chose this fate
I know for you it's not too late
My head it spins I just can't see
The world is crashing in
It's finally come that fateful blow
I've lived a life of sin
This darkened haze is taunting me
I feel like I'm betrayed
The world has taught that I'm the
One that's worthy to be praised
Eternal flame is not a game
And now there is only me to blame
Some will trick and tell you lies
But you're the one that must decide
Well now you see what I've been through
The torture and the pain
Has brought for me eternal wretch
It's driving me insane
It all depends what path you choose
The wicked or divine
I thought I chose a righteous path
A thousand tears I cry
The story told just might be true
But you'll never know 'til your time is due
Look hard and truth you'll find
Beware...
Eternal flame is not a game
And now there is only you to blame
Some will trick and tell you lies
But you're the one that must decide
3. Two-Faced
Friend of such good friends
Until we turn our backs
Leaving out our good points
You tell others what we lack
So do it 'cause we don't care
You're ruining your own reputation
Doing what you do
You act as though you've got the stuff
But actually you ain't got much
no one wants a thing to do with you
Two-faced
Am I your friend or am I your foe
I don't think you even know
I guess the answer all depends
On which enemies you call friends
Why you're ruining yourself
Its so sad but true
Your friends are leaving one by one
The tables turned on you
Where you're asking yourselves
Where did we go wrong
You know damn well you spineless wimps
So listen to this song
You act as though you've got the stuff
But actually you ain't got much
no one wants a thing to do with you
Two-faced
Am I your friend or am I your foe
I don't think you even know
I guess the answer all depends
On which enemies you call friends
Now look who's laughing
Just how does it feel
But we won't talk behind your back
We're not fake we're real
So do you get this message
Did we get through to you
Sacred Death will never sink to do the things you do
You act as though you've got the stuff
But actually you ain't got much
no one wants a thing to do with you
Two-faced
Am I your friend or am I your foe
I don't think you even know
I guess the answer all depends
On which enemies you call friends
4. Bad Advice
Just save it I don't want to change it
You always find some way to rearrange it
Its my life I live it well
And I'm tired of the bullshit that you're trying to sell to me
No No - Got no need Ive got no need for your advice
I Just - wanna live I wanna live my own life
Bad Advice Bad Advice
Thanks but no thanks I am me
Bad Advice Bad Advice
I don't need you telling me what to be
Motor mouth it never stops running
Spouting out advice you assume I know nothing
I've had enough Had enough of you
I wish I had a single clue of what you wanna prove to me
No No - Got no need Ive got no need for your advice
I Just - wanna live I wanna live my own life
Bad Advice Bad Advice
Thanks but no thanks I am me
Bad Advice Bad Advice
I don't need you telling me what to be
Half the world seems to know
What the other half should do
I refuse to live my life
Live my life according to you
I dig a hole you'll dig one deeper
If I buy a car, you'll find one that's cheaper
I give up, you're just the best
Everything you do is just so much better than the rest of us
No No - Got no need Ive got no need for your advice
I Just - wanna live I wanna live my own life
Bad Advice Bad Advice
Thanks but no thanks I am me
Bad Advice Bad Advice
I don't need you telling me what to be
5. Pit And Pendulum
Sentenced to death by the black robed judge
Sending me into this sleep
Awakening in fear of opening my eyes
Wondering where I could be
Surrounded by darkness I paced my prison
Hoping to clarify its size
I know that the room in its dark state
Was hiding my fate from my eyes
Falling to the floor I lay still scoping a pit
Knowing worse torture was left to come
I questioned the luck of my fall
After this I had fallen asleep
Waking up was not so good
The Chamber was slightly lighted now
And I was bound to a frame of wood
Lying on my back I observed above
The painting resembling time
Hung from this picture directly above
Was a pendulum sharp like a blade
Before me I saw my most definite and gruesome fate
Quicker and closer the hissing blade swinging towards me
Death would be a relief
This torture was slowly killing me
There must be some kind of solution
I lay there still as the blade moved closer
I lay there thinking
Impressions of my past visions of my future
Blind visions, Oh God
What have I done
Suddenly I thought of a way
To break away from this death
Luring the rats that come from the pit
To chew my way free of the frame
With this idea I had broken loose
With little time to spare
I had defeated death itself
And had made the unfair, fair
Oh! But wait! The iron walls were glowing red
The heat intensified as the walls moved closer in
My fate was the circular pit.
6. Social D
Out on the streets, and still on our feet
This home as it is, for us, can't be beat
Structured world, thou it seems,
In your lavish dreams, is for us
It's just a scheme that corrupts and deceives
Tell us that we are in the way (In the way)
Crush us up, pull us down to the ground
Call your way democracy - hipocracy
Twist our word - and the truth - no excuse
Damaged received, as your false hearts lead
Hoarding your masses, your intent it does deceive
Now the hope that's construed only works for you
Because the dream that's in your mind is a dream of a fool
Build us a cage, say its a home (leave us alone)
The money you spend to tie up loose ends (a dead end)
Call your way democracy - hipocracy
Twist our word - and the truth - no excuse
Back on the streets, and still on our feet
This home as it is for us can't be beat
Cause now the hope that's construed only works for you
Because the dream that's in your mind is a dream of a fool

7. Love Or Lust
I'm feeling real restless tonight
I know I'm really taken but it's not right
Want to get to know her take her away
Then I'll shut the door like nothing has changed
Can't hold back I've gotta move in
Seeking out her pleasures I'm knee deep in sin
Drowning in confusion it's time to do or die
She's giving me that lustful look I can
See it in her eyes
Love or lust is stealing my heart
Lust comes easy Love won't depart
She's waiting to take me away
Temptation of pleasures - Love or lust
Her body talks it's killing me
It's got me hypnotized for eternity
Gotta break away from her spell
To get myself together and out of this hell
Love or lust is stealing my heart
Lust comes easy Love won't depart
She's waiting to take me away
Temptation of pleasures - Love or lust
8. Blind Leading Blind
World of confusion people on the move
Trapped in disillusion there is chaos in the news
People searching blindly for a truth that can't be found
Leaders think they are guiding but only lies they spread around
You feed off the people your greed shows right through
You think that we are blinded but we can see right through
Right through you
Blind lead blind
Money on their minds
Blind lead blind
Take our money leave us behind
Lies and more lies your leaders try and try
To rehash the fables that so hideously rhyme
Day in and out you try to nourish our doubt
You think we are so blind not to know what you're about
You feed off the people your greed shows right through
You think that we are blinded but we can see right through
Right through you
Blind lead blind
Money on their minds
Blind lead blind
Take our money leave us behind
9. Execution
10. In The Night
In the night alone asleep
unaware of the fate I'll meet
As I drift and start to dream
I cannot move cannot scream
I'm paralyzed
Frozen death personified
I cannot believe my eyes
Try to wake open my eyes
A pointing figure, a black disguise
As dream turns real nightmare begins
A sense of fear unresting sin
A struggle fight grasp for air
On the edge brink of despair
I'm agonized
The spell is cast electrified
You've got to release your pride
There is only one way to destroy evil of the night
Pray and don't deny the only one who died to save us all
There is only one way to destroy evil of the night
Pray and don't deny the only one who died to save us all
Sound sounds that cut through the air
Voice the voice that brings on despair
Fight you're fighting a battle that's done
Pray your prayer drains the victory you've won
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
For darkness inside has to leave you
The victory you've won
Is found in the son
Now evil is done
