For whom the bell tolls
Ride the lightning
holier than thou
I disappear
Lux Aeterna
Screaming Suicide
Fade to black
Sleepwalk My Life Away
Orion
nothing else matters
sad but true
the day that never comes
Blackened
fuel
Seek and destroy
Master of puppets
For whom the bell tolls
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
				
top

Ride the lightning
Guilty as charged
But damn it, it ain't right
There is someone else controlling me

Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me

Who made you God to say
"I'll take your life from you!"

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginning of the end

Sweat, chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend

My fingers grip with fear
What I am doing here?

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

Someone help me
Oh please God help me
They are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Time moving slowly
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see

How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be

Wakened by the horrid cream
Freed from the frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames

holier than thou
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

I disappear
Hey, hey, hey
Here I go now, here I go into new days(x2)

I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer

hey, hey, heeee-heeeey
Here I go into new days

Hey, hey, hey
Ain't no mercy, ain't no mercy there for me(x2)

I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer

Yeah, hey, heeee-heeeey
Ain't no mercy, ain't no mercy there for me

Do you bury me when I'm gone?
Do you teach me while I'm here?
Just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear

Hey, hey, hey
And i went, and i went, on down that road

Hey, hey, hey
And i went on, then I went on down that road

I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer

Hey, hey, heeeeee-heeeeey
And i went on, then I went on down that road

Do you bury me when I'm gone?
Do you teach me while I'm here?
Just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear(2x)

I'm gone! I'm gone! I'm gone baby!

Do you bury me when I'm gone?
Do you teach me while I'm here?
Just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear(2x)

Oh, disappear

Lux Aeterna
[Verse 1]
Anticipation
In domination
A sea of hearts beat as one, unified
Magnification
All generations
Approaching thunder awaiting the light

[Pre-Chorus]
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing

[Chorus]
Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

[Verse 2]
Exhilaration
Frenzied sensation
Kindred alliance connected inside
Commiseration
Sonic salvation
Cast out the demons that strangle your life

[Pre-Chorus]
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing

[Chorus]
Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

[Bridge]
Lux æterna

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Emancipation
Kill isolation
Never alone for the feelings alike
Amplification
Lightning the nation
Never alive more than right here tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Full speed or nothing
Full speed or nothing

[Chorus]
Lux æterna
Lux ætеrna, yeah

[Outro]
Light it

Screaming Suicide
[Verse 1]
Welcome to this life
Born into the fight
Here to claim your dream
Look you in the eye
Patch the broken sky
Craving dopamine
Then my voice appears
Teaching you of fears
Are you good enough?
You don't recognize
Head is full of lies
You should just give up

[Pre-Chorus]
Listen well, better listen well
Listen well, better listen well

[Chorus]
Don't ever speak my name
Remеmber you're to blame
Keep mе inside
Keep me inside
My name is suicide

[Verse 2]
Curse another day
Spirit locked away
Punish and deprive
Hate to be awake
Living a mistake
More dead than alive
Then a voice appears
Whisper in your ears
"You are good enough"
Throwing down a rope
A lifeline of hope
Never give you up

[Pre-Chorus]
Listen well, better listen well
Listen well, better listen well

[Chorus]
Don't ever speak my name
Remember you're to blame
Keep me inside
Keep me inside
My name is suicide

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
Terrified in sleepless nights
Caught in spotlight, dead to rights
Isolate and fight your mind
Tellin' you you're left behind

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
My lying voice inside
Keeps drinking cyanide
And no more can you run
Into the sun
[Refrain]
Terrified, sleepless nights
Caught in spotlight dead to rights
Isolate and fight your mind
Tellin' you you're left behind

[Chorus]
And now you speak my name
You've given back the blame
Keep me deep inside
Don't you keep me inside
Screaming suicide

[Outro]
Now that I'm exposed inside
Shined a light on cyanide
I'm no longer needed here
Now you've faced your biggest fear
(Nice)

Fade to black
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filing me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it to late
Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

Sleepwalk My Life Away
[Verse 1]
Take a deep-waking breath
Hope the blood arrives
Burn my eyes with the sun
And pretend I'm alive
It never will appear
Strong as past desire
Light warming disappears
Like a cold, dead fire

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down?
Would you come, you come 'round?

[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away

[Verse 2]
Stagger on through the fog
In the midnight sun
Shouting out at the shapes
Of the namelеss no ones
All isn't what it seems
Cannot comprehend it
Captivе inside a dream
Where the dawn won't end it

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down?
Would you come, you come 'round?

[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down?
Would you come, you come 'round?

[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
[Outro]
"That was good, right?"

nothing else matters
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words i don't just say
and nothing else matters

trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but i know

couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

so close no matter how far
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but i know

never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words i don't just say

trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and i know

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

you know it's sad but true

you
you're my mask
you're my cover, my shelter

do my deeds
for you're the one who's shamed

i'm your dream, make you real
i'm your eyes when you must steal
i'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true

i'm your dream, mind astray
i'm your eyes while you're away
i'm your pain while you repay
you know it's sad but true

hate
i'm your hate
i'm your hate when you want love
pay
pay the price
pay, for nothing's fair
hey
i'm your life
i'm the one who took you here
hey
i'm your life
and i no longer care

i'm your dream, make you real
i'm your eyes when you must steal
i'm your pain when you can't feel
sad but true

i'm your truth, telling lies
i'm your reasoned alibis
i'm inside open your eyes
i'm you

sad but true

the day that never comes
born to push you around
you better just stay down
you pull away
he hits the flesh
you hit the ground
mouths so full of lies
tend to black your eyes
just keep them closed
keep praying
just keep waiting

waiting for the one
the day that never comes
when you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
no the sunshine never comes

push you cross that line
just stay down this time
hide in yourself
crawl in yourself
you'll have your time
god i'll make them pay
take it back one day
i'll end this day
i'll splatter color on this grave

waiting for the one
the day that never comes
when you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
no the sunshine never comes

love is a four letter word
and never spoken here
love is a four letter word
here in this prison
i suffer this no longer
i put it into
this i swear!
this i swear!
the sun will shine
this i swear!
this i swear!
this i swear!

Seek and destroy
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,
You will pay
Dying,
One thousand deaths
Running,
On our way

Master of puppets
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my ame, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my ame, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help You Die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my ame, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
