when a man lies he murders
some part of the world
these are the pale deaths which
men miscall their lives
all this i cannot bear
to witness any longer
cannot the kingdom of salvation
take me home
				

say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white

dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now i lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if i die before i wake
pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land
				

no more!
the craps rolls out your mouth again
haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
little whispers circle around your head
why don't you worry about yourself instead

who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
you lie so much you believe yourself
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are
you know not

before you judge me take a look at you
can't you find somethig better to do
point the finger, slow to understand
arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

it's not who you are it's who you know
others lives are the basis of your own
burn your bridges build them back with wealth
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are
you know not
				

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Back to the front.

ain't gonna waste my hate
ain't gonna waste my hate on you
i think i'll keep it for myself

ain't gonna kill no more
ain't got the time to help you score
i think it's time you pleased yourself
yourself

doing dead
i would do in the same
a smile to you

don't waste
waste your breath
now i will waste my hate on you
waste my hate on you

and i think your working now
you think enough to even raise the brow
and to life that tip that you belong
come on

when i see my hate i see my feet
i feel that blood that pumps in me
where the hell's my mind
don't know
don't know now

doing dead
i would do in the same
a smile to you

don't waste
waste your breath
now i will waste my hate on you
waste my hate on you
then i'll keep it for myself
hate

ain't gonna waste my hate
but i don't clean it when they say
better to give then to receive
ain't gonna waste my hate
ain't got time to waste my hate on you
i think i'll keep it all for myself
for myself

doing dead
i would do in the same
a smile to you
don't waste
waste your breath
now i will waste my hate on you
waste my hate on you

think i'll keep it for myself
yeah

hate
				

claustrophobic
crawl out of this skin
hard explosive
reaching for that pin

feel thy name extermination
desecrating, hail of fire

so we cross that line
into the crypt
total eclipse
suffer unto my apocalypse!

deadly vision
prophecy revealed
death magnetic
pulling closer still

feel thy name annihilation
desolating, hail of fire

so we cross that line
into the crypt
total eclipse
suffer unto my apocalypse!

my apocalypse... go!

crushing metal, ripping skin
tossing body mannequin
spilling blood, bleeding gas

mangle flesh, snapping spine
dripping bloody valentine
shattered face, spitting glass

split apart
split apart
split apart
split
spit it out!

what makes me drift a litter bit closer
dead man takes the steering wheel
what makes me know it's time to cross over
words you repeat until i feel

see through the skin the bones they all rattle
future and past they disagree
flesh falls away the bones they all shatter
i start to see the end in me

see the end in me...

claustrophobic
climb out of this skin
hard explosive
waiting for that pin

violate, annihilate
a loser to my eyes
obliterate, exterminate
at last accept, deny

feel thy name as hell awakens
destiny, inhale the fire

but we cross that line
into the crypt
total eclipse
suffer unto my apocalypse!

tyrants awaken my apocalypse!
demon awaken my apocalypse!
heaven awaken my apocalypse!
suffer forever my apocalypse!
				

All roads they lead to shame
All drowning in the blame
All reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver

All hide beneath a skin
A hope so paper thin
I'm at the door again
And the shine of the midnight revolver

Even the promise of danger has gone dull
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Suck on the barrel
Suck on the barrel
Suck it 'til it's gone dry

For all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver

Redemption purify
Will nothing satisfy
The scars just multiply
In the shine of the midnight revolver

Twisting in apocalypse
Death upon the fingertips
Frigid metal touches lips
And the shine of the midnight revolver

'Cause you lied

Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leavin' you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head

Caressing death again
Becomes the heroin
Forbidden medicine
Puts a shine on the midnight revolver

Eternal borderline
All the faces intertwine
Oh God... now I see mine
In the shine of the midnight revolver

Even the promise of danger has gone dull
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Suck on the barrel
Suck on the barrel
Suck... suck till it's dry

For all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver

Down In Misery
Down In Misery

Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leavin' you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head

All roads they lead to shame
All drowning in the blame
Reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver

All hide beneath a skin
A hope so paper thin
I'm at the door again
And the shine of the midnight revolver

Even the promise of danger has gone dull
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Suck on the barrel
Suck on the barrel
Suck... suck till it's dry

Do all reflections look the same
In the shine of the midnight revolver

'Cause you lied
Yes you lied

Just a bullet away
Just a bullet away from leavin' you
Just a bullet away
Stop the voices in my head

fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane
but the memory remains

heavy rings on fingers wave
another star denies the grave
see the nowhere crowd
cry the nowhere cheers of honor

like twisted vines that grow
hide and swallow mansions whole
in light of an already
faded prima donna

fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
but the memory remains

heavy rings hold cigarettes
up to lips that time forgets
while the hollywood sun sets
behind your back

and can't the band play on
just listen, they play my song
ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black 

fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
dance little tin goddess

"ya ya" part

drift away
fade away
little tin goddess

ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black

fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
fortune, fame
mirror vain
gone insane...
but the memory remains

ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black...

dance little tin goddess dance

sound of gunfire comes through the night, 
killing and hatred, it's a terrible sight. 
reports come in of the heavy attack, 
message is seen, we're moving back. 
 
preparations are made for the journey back, 
it's a survival, supplies are packed. 
no more nights in this eternal hell, 
destination is simple, we move out. 
 
killing time-you left from the line. 
killing time-your turn to kill. 
killing time-what do you say? 
killing time-aaha, killing time. 
 
and he knew what he needed to keep us alive, 
no time for cowardice, kill and survive. 
like a killer kid with a switchblade knife, 
nasty word, he'll take your life. 
 
the silence is over, they attack again, 
killing and hatred drive me insane. 
reports come in of a heavy attack, 
message is seen, we're moving back. 
 
killing time-you left from the line. 
killing time-your turn to kill. 
killing time-what do you say? 
killing time-aaha, killing time.

on a long and lonesome highway east of omaha   
you can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song   
you think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before   
  
but your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do   
when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do   
and you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through   
  
here i am - on the road again   
there i am - up on the stage   
here i go - playing star again   
there i go - turn the page   
  
so you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road   
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold   
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode   
  
yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can   
all the same old cliches, "is it woman? is it man?"   
and you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand   
make your stand   
  
here i am - on the road again   
there i am - up on the stage   
here i go - playing star again   
there i go - turn the page   
  
oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away   
every ounce of energy you try to give away   
as the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play, yeah   
  
later in the evening, you lie awake in bed   
with the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head   
you smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said   
what she said   
  
he-ey   
  
yeah   
and here i am - on the road again   
there i am - up on a stage   
here i go - playing star again   
there i go - turn the page   
there i go - turn that page   
there i go, yeah, yeah   
there i go, yeah, yeah   
there i go, yeah   
there i go, yeah   
there i go, oo-oo-ooh   
there i go   
and i'm gone   
				

By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knocks at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company

The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
or choose your fate and die

You have been dying since the day
You were born
You know it has all been planned
The quartet of deliverence rides
A sinner once a sinner twice
No need for confession now
Cause now you have got the fight of your life

The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
or choose your fate and die

Time
has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverence for you for sure
There is nothing you can do

So gather round young warriors now
and saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judgement hammer down
Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat

The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the four Horsemen ride
or choose your fate and die
				

You can't put a butterfly in a jar
If the effort's too high no matter who you are
You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars
It doesn't matter who you are
Iced honey

Now me I've tried a million tricks
To make life cold and make it stick
Not running heat that flames then out
But the proud piece of ice that always floats
Iced honey

If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee
If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be
If no matter how much soul and heart
I put to the wood
If a flaming heart is not that good
Iced honey

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
If violence mars your final hour
If you make others feel like jam
Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb

If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout
And your oxygen starts to run out
If your final gasp has the recipe wrong
And instead of hello you say so long

If your energy starts to leak out
And people wonder what you're all about
A heartbreaker with an unattached heart
The story of love gives them all a start

And me, I've always been this way
Not by choice, just this way
I can't put my honey pot in a jar
Or a heart or a fist of some young boy

If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
No wonder no need to wonder where you are
It might seem like Hell, the river Styx
Your affection never sticks

No matter what you say, no matter what you do
A butterfly heart flies right past you
There's nothing to say, nothing to do
See if the ice will melt for you
Iced honey
				

I am a chorus of the voices
That gather up the magnets
Set before me

I attract you and repel you
A science of the heart
And blood and meaning

The coldness of most beauties
Is a challenge that our youth
Must quickly conquer

There is no time for guilt
Or second guessing, second guessing
Based on feeling

I am the truth, the beauty
That causes you to cross
Your sacred boundaries

I have no morals
Some think me cheap
And someone who despises
The normalcy of heartbreak
The purity of love

But I worship the young
And just formed angel

Who sits upon the pin of lust
Everything else
Bores me

I want to see your suicide
I want to see you give it up
Your life of reason
I want you on the floor
And in a coffin your soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
Every meaning you've amassed
Like a fortune

Oh throw it away

For worship someone
Who actively despises you

For worship someone
Who actively despises you

I am the root
I am the progress
I am the aggressor
I am the tablet
These ten stories

Worship
Worship

Pain and evil have their place
Sitting here beside me
I offer them to you as servants
Of the gold that you must give

Pain and evil have their place
Sitting here beside me
And I'll offer them, I offer them to you
As servants of the gold
That you must give to me

I want to see your suicide
I want to see you give it up, give it up
Your your life of reason

I want to see you on the floor

And in a coffin, soul shaking
Soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
Every meaning you've amassed
Like a fortune, like a fortune
Throw it away

For worship of someone who actively despises you

Who actively despises you

Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong, down the nil
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man

Rule the midnight air the destroyer
Born

I
Creep the steps and flood final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
				

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery

Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery

Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

i was born on the cemetery   
under the sign of the moon   
raised from my grave by the dead   
and i was made a mercenary   
in the legions of hell   
now i'm king of pain, i'm insane   
you know my only pleasure   
is to hear you cry   
i'd love to hear you cry   
i'd love to see you die   
and i'll be the first   
to watch your funeral   
and i'll be the last to leave   
i'd love to hear you cry   
and when you're down beyond the ground   
i'll dig up your body again   
and make love to shame   
oh lady cry, and say goodbye   
oh lady cry, and say goodbye   
you've gotta say goodbye   
'cause i will eat your mind   
					

away out in egypt in the valley of kings   
where the mummified pharaohs   
pretend dead in their sleep   
don't touch, never ever steal   
unless you're in for the kill   
or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs   
yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you   
the curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly   
just destroying your future   
makin' it all shady   
don't touch, never ever steal   
unless you're in for the kill   
or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs   
yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you   
					

they're walking by the night   
the moon has frozen blue   
long black coats a shelter for the rain   
their load must get through   
now bats are leaving their trees   
they're joining the call   
seven satanic hell preachers   
heading for the hall   
bringing the blood of a newborn child   
got to succeed, if not it's satan's fall
					

listen, i'm a corpse, i'm a corpse   
i'm a corpse without soul   
satan, he's taken, he's taken   
he's taken his toll   
and he took it on me   
i, i'm trapped, i'm trapped   
i'm trapped in his spell   
tonight, i'm going, i'm going   
i'm going to hell, inside his spell   
					

howl like a wolf   
and a witch will open the door   
follow me and meet our high priestess   
come, come into my coven   
and become lucifer's child   
undress until you're naked   
and put on this white coat   
take this white cross and go to the center of the ring   
come, come into my coven   
and become lucifer's child   
					

We are scanning the scene
in the city tonight
We are looking for you
to start up a fight
There is an evil feeling
in our brains
But it is nothing new
you know it drives us insane

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and Destroy
Searching,
Seek and Destroy
Searching,
Seek and Destroy
Searching,
Seek and Destroy

There is no escape
and that is for sure
This is the end we won't take any more
Say goodbye
to the world you live in
You have always been taking
but now you're giving

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way
Hiding,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Searching,
Seek and Destroy
Searching,
Seek and Destroy
Searching,
Seek and Destroy
Searching,
Seek and Destroy

Our brains are on fire
with the feeling to kill
And it will not go away
until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing
on our minds
Don't try running away
`cause you're the one we will find

Running,
On our way
Hiding,
