Torn in disarray, Hear now what I say Brand your people, let them go Send them on their way Worn the fired plead, give them what they need Kill your people let them die Before they plant the seed Born, the black creation Sure, to never die
In crimson sorrow rise, not to compromise No one knows where the cold wind blows Until it's in their eyes In guarded disbelief, the crimson turns to grief The loyalty you knew so well Now stuck between your teeth Born, in desolation Sure, to never die I am, God's creation I see the light of death Within your eyes
Breath the devil's creation With a mouthful of flies I am the scourge of the nation Harbored within your eyes
Never wore the crimson red Never thorns adorned the head When was what we used to be Now is what we'll always see Left unto compacency To right the wrong conspiracy Never what you used to see With eyes adorned in misery Choose commit right or wrong The road reaming ever long Truth in anger's compromise That shine the lies within your eyes Never was mistaken, nevere was the prize Never unforsaken, hide within your eyes Never an illusion, the ever rising tide This the constitution, harbored in your eyes
2. Love
Come, come, come alive, Protect me from myself Come, come satisfy Will I ever tell Touch me with your fire Your everlasting glow Lead me to your inner peace That I only know
Stay, stay, stay alive Take me from your shelf Will you have to try To keep me from myself Cover me in secrets Blanket me in hope Give me faith, so I can too Untie this holy rope
This is..... love
Will you come if I don't call Help me if I fall All about jst living Deep inside your wall Speak your sweet desire With your devil breath Lead me through your chaos Before I am put to death
Will you be around If I come unwound Keep me in your inner Sanctum of the bound Feel my torrid blessing Cast upon your cheek Touch the hand that leads you To eternal sleep
The damage to the under World of light A medal on the chest of right A contradiction A no one knows Speak your mine, and go
Come, come come alive Take me from your shelf Never satisfied I will never tell
The damage to the under World of light A scar upon the face of right A contradiction A no one knows Speak your mine, and go
3. Loaded Rack
Rolling like a thunderfucker, green light night trucker Got an eye full a' something to love Get it up, bring it down, I know it over 'till I hit the ground Train sane homicide, nothing like a suicide Gaze into the skies abover Keep it up, knock it down, I don't see anybody else around
I will eat your soul in broad daylight Front the all seeing watchful eye Barrel like a train in the dead of night Where the good things pass me by I am always ready, though I never had no guns I am holding steady, with a bullet in my.... RRRRRRRRun
All I want is just a loaded rack Domination, strapped across my back All I want is just to keep it low Do I need to tell you Where you can go
Keeping with the time line, had my fill turpentine Drank until I didn't know why Lift it up, chug it down, Wonder why I'm always layin' on the ground Waste face out a place, just outside the human race (Keep it) in the (bloodshot) public eye Style up, bring it down Think they all hate me, when I do fall down Screaming like a hog tied, pig slut crunch In my own private Slaughterhouse 5 Spittin' out the souls that I ate for lunch And I'm happy just to be alive I'm not always ready, but I can't speak for my guns Sometimes I think I'm Freddy Though he never had no...................... fun
I can't believe my hands are growing cold Give me all the good inside your soul
4. Bats In The Belfry
Sick as the sickest only can be Armies of crazy crawling' all over me Shaky at best is the ground where I stand A frozen moment I just don't understand Bats, in the belfry Bats, in the belfry
C'mon now, let me feel you get on it C'mon now, let me have it my way C'mon now, when you can't really stop it Open up the window got bats in the belfry Bats, in the belfry Bats, in the belfry
Pasted and wasted, taller than God Burning my churches and blowing my wad Quakin' beneath me, the ground that I own A frozen moment that I'll always call home Bats, in the belfry Bats, in the belfry
C'mon....... Got bats in the belfry Hold on..... rats on the way C'mon....... Got bats in the belfry Open up the window Bats in the belfry
5. A Pound Of Flesh
Bloodshot on the panicked eye Too gone for resolution Too late for the gallant try Or to find his own solution Pray save us or to buy the plan, vengeance is my name Too deep for a drowning man too deep to call him sane In the farthest place from you Where blood drips through your hands The action deafens every word That runs your master plan
[Chorus:] Higher, go higher Know you've paid for the best Higher, go higher Can't pay in cash, take a pound of your flesh
Turned out where you're left to die Turned into this destruction Set free where you only fly To a promised resurrection Pray save me, or to find a way, bathing in my blame Tapped out but he has to pay, vengeance is my name In the closest place to you Where water fills your hands Your thirst is gone with every taste That fuels your master plan
[Chorus:] Higher, go higher Know you've paid for the best Higher, go higher Pay with your love, or a pound of your flesh
Don't know you're fucking with the best All the competition laid to rest Humble as you crawl out of the mess One by one I count my pounds of flesh
6. Keeper
When I feel the pressure rise My heart beats through The shadow of your hallow eyes, at any cost When I steal into those eyes Your sun beats through To take me by complete surprise, and is all lost
And when I fear, what I hear A voice cuts through the shadows Like a razor knife, to pay the cost To disappear, far to near And cast a light that falls upon My darkest night, but is all lost
Spill your sacred water On your sacred ground Chant your holy verse Unbound, unbound Sacrifice your daughter Kill your fatted cow Orchestrate the slaughter It’s now, now
Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your eyes Keeper, strike as to offend When all has gone away Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your skies Keeper, strike and to defend A keeper by your side
Spit your truth, upon the plate That feeds the need To justify without mistake For god’s sake Run your hope through my veins That keeps us safe And gives us faith to cleanse the pain For our sake
Spill your sacred water On your sacred ground Chant your holy verse Unbound, unbound Sacrifice your daughter Kill your fatted cow Orchestrate your slaughter It’s now, it’s now
Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your eyes Keeper, strike as to offend When all has gone away Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your skies Keeper, strike and to defend A keeper by your side
Lock it up in liberty Hide in sight for all to see Called through night and purity Kept in sight for you to be Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your eyes Keeper, strike as to offend When all has gone arye Keeper, blind to the godsend Keeper, lives in your skies Keeper, strike and to defend A keeper by your side
7. Wheelz
What you going to do when the walls come down When the searchlights flash and the sirens sound If your name is called will you be around Will you keep a’ rolling Where you going to hide when they look for you Will you march in time, will you see it through Make me proud, the least you can do Wheelz will keep us rolling
Now to a fault can I speak the name From where we go and whence we came Standing tall to share the blame Time only knows tolling Count out the scars, that pollute the mind Where the critics lay and the enemy find They find, no one We are burning more than just a moment
Wheelz to the moment that takes us where we are Wheelz to the volunteer that’s gone too far Wheelz to the few we love, our loyalty and trust Wheelz to our moment, the best of us
When the price is high and betrayal ripe Would you rather run, or will you stay and fight Will you give me hope, will you give me light You have to keep me rolling And if I fall, right next to you Will you lift me up, will you see me through You know I’d do the same for you You have to keep me rolling
Where you going to stand, when the bastards drool When the bitches cry, in the line of fools Will you give me strength, so I can too Never stop the rolling I am honoured to have known your name So proud I am that you feel the same As we go from whence we came, rolling We are burning more than just the moment We are living more than in a moment
Wheelz to the moment that takes us where we are Wheelz to the volunteer that’s gone too far Wheelz to the few we love, our loyalty and trust Wheelz to our moment, the best of us
Take up arms, stand in a line Listen to the march that takes you through time Find what you need in the sound of the drum And feel in your heart, what only few have done
Wheelz to the moment that takes us where we are Wheelz to the volunteer that’s gone too far Wheelz to the few we love, our loyalty and trust Wheelz to our moment, the best of us
The best of us
8. The Mark 2:14
Steal it, take it, know my name in loving memory Sand it, brand it, in your brain, a forthright eulogy I am but a sinner here, my faults are underlined I have but to hold you near to cleanse the sins of time
I have known you, all too well I have shown you, all too well I have thrilled you, all too well I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to
Speak up, calling my name out Speak up, the shattering of doubt This is where you start With nails run through your heart Leave the name, burned in the brain Leave your mark
Find it, blind it with your light or curse to be alive Will it, kill it in your night, commit yourself to thrive You are but a sinner hear, each breath is now your crime You have but to shed a tear, to wash away the time
I have known you, all too well I have shown you, all too well I have thrilled you, all too well I have filled you, with the sense of what you need to
Speak up, calling my name out Speak up, the shattering of doubt This is where you start With nails run through your heart Leave the name, burned in the brain Leave your mark
Give me your principles, values and hope Or I’ll take them away Not so convincible if you can’t cope Or rise to the day Worn out the morals that lit up the path Now gone to the dark Frayed are the laurels, igniting the wrath They left in the mark Wrap me in darkness, wrap me in light Wrap me in indestructible light
Way down the road it’s better, believe me Way down the road it’s gone (god) Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod) Way down the road it’s better, believe me Way down the road it’s gone (god) Carry the load, it’s harder, believe me Carry it to your dawn (a lightning rod)
9. Play The Ace
Fair haired lady and the suicide king Kill the brother of the one eyed jack Two side of shady as the angels sing That the jack ain’t coming back Double down hide as the preacher folds And you sweat right out of your clothes Aces higher than the suicide king With a pair right under his nose
Dead pan, poker face, where you lie The angels sing the same Hey man, choker taste where you die Carving out your given name Drive a spade right through your heart Or a chance just being alive Is it murder, right handed, art Is it real or all contrived God help you
All bets are taken, this table is closed While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes It’s a disgrace
Get down on the dead They been taking over the graveyards You gotta play the ace Get down on your head It’s been overriding the good cards Gotta play the ace
Green-eyed monster got the twinkle right Got the evil in his eye One sick as a dog looks a little tight He can’t breathe, he gonna die As you pound your fist in anger Words sharper than a blade But the green-eyed monster is a sure motherfucker As he plays I tout in spades God help him
All bets are taken, this table is closed While outside they’re shaking him out of his clothes It’s a mistake
Blame it on the dead They been taking over the graveyards Play the ace Blame it on your head It’s been overriding the good card Play the ace
See it, raise it, call it, show In a sinner’s room of liars In the all time hell bound race And the devil, he’s on fire As the band played on the ace The ace
See it, raise it, call it, show The dead sit lifeless in the chair they chose It’s a national disgrace The green-eyed monster got a real bad dose As the band played on the ace Play the ace Play the ace Play the ace Play the ace Play the ace
10. Old School
We played it fast, we played it loud A bit too much, a bit too proud The only way we knew to do it right It washed away the misery So do you know your history Or did you only show up for the fight
Now all my friends are heading to L’Amour Half of them are bounced right out the door And if we had the chance to say Not to go another way
Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool We drank some beers and broke some heads We never gave a shit Climbed every mountain, stormed every city They said that this would never last We never gave a fuck
Yeah there’s blood all over me I caught the eye of Johnny Z Bang your head, thrash around the pit Who the fuck woulda thunk They’re playing us on Eddie Trunk Catch some air, dive, who gives a shit
And all my friends are heading to the Ritz Bobby G, Rat Skates, DD & Blitz And if we get the chance to play No, we’ll never go away
Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool We drank some beers and broke some heads We never gave a shit Climbed every mountain, stormed every city They said that this would never last We never gave a fuck
Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool We drank some beers and broke some heads We never gave a shit Climbed every mountain, we stormed every city They said that this would never last We never gave a fuck
Here’s to the old school, didn’t matter if you looked cool We drank some beers and broke some heads We never gave a shit Climbed every mountain, stormed every city They said that this would never last We never gave a fuck
