slaves
hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh

to his every word, live in fear
faith
of the unknown one, the deliverer

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
i
rule the midnight air the destroyer
born
i shall soon be there, deadly mass
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

| 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

| 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

| disposable heroes |
|---|
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.

i can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside i feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me
now that the war is through with me
i'm waking up i can not see
that there is not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me
back in the womb its much too real
in pumps life that i must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when i'll live
fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me
hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me
now the world is gone i'm just one
oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god help me
darkness imprisoning me
all that i see
absolute horror
i cannot live
i cannot die
body my holding cell
landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell

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

ash to ash
dust to dust
fade to black

| the unforgiven |
|---|
new blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules
with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub thee unforgiven
they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven
you labeled me
i'll label you
so i dub the unforgiven

| 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!

| 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

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `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

Do unto others as they have done unto you
But what in the hell is this world coming to?
Blow the universe into nothingness
Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
We shall die
Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
Armageddon is here, like said in the past
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing, so take your last breath
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear

so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are

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 do
never cared for what they know

forever trusting who we are

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

| the wait |

motives changing
day to day
the fire increases
masks decay
i look at the river
white foam floats down
the body's poisoned
got to sit tight
the wait
the wait
the wait
the wait
after awakening
the silence grows
the screams subside
distortion shows
mutant thoughts
of bad mouthed news
just another birth
of distorted views
the wait
the wait
the wait
the wait
