like a siren in my head that i was placed to repeat,
like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat,
like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
like an illness that i'm about to waken from its state.

contradiction,
a premonition,
now are the aids who i deny,
i deny.

i blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
i stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
i blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
i open just in time to say goodbye.

almost like your life,
almost like your endless fight,
cursed, the day is long,
realize you don't belong,
disconnect somehow,
never stop complaining now,
almost like your fight,
and there it went,
almost like your life.

like a bullet, keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
like a raging river, drowning when i only need a drink,
like a poison that i swallow, but i want the world to die.

like a release from a prison that i didn't know i was in,
like a fight to live the present, i pictured it like this,
like a general without a mission until the wars start again,
start again.

i blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
i stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
i blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
i open just in time to say goodbye.

almost like your life,
almost like your endless fight,
cursed, the day is long,
realize you don't belong,
disconnect somehow,
never stop complaining now,
almost like your fight,
and there it went,
almost like your life.

[solo]

like a touch from hell, i feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
that brings you straight down to your knees,
like a touch from hell, i feel how hot that it can get if i get caught,
like a strike from heaven to reprieve,
that brings you straight down to your knees.

[dual guitar solo]

almost like your life,
almost like your endless fight,
cursed, the day is long,
realize you don't belong,
disconnect somehow,
never stop complaining now,
almost like your fight,
and there it went,
almost like your life.
that was just your life.
				

need more and more
tainted misery
bleed battle scars
cannot cool up enity
reign legacy
in a sense corrode
stain right away
catatonic overload
choke asphyxia
snuff reality
scorch kill the light
obliterate celebrity
reefer butchery
call the amputee
bloodline redefy
death contagious deity
who came to this deceiver?
need more and more
into the endless fever
need more and more

new consequence machine
run through all your gasoline
fly them overtime
nevermind you've reached the end of the line
time choke the clock
steal another day
die make believe
lost statistic fade away
twisted choke the rail
shattered crowd below
reaper chase the ghost
the lastest high to all time low
who came to this deceiver?
need more and more
into the endless fever
need more and more

new consequence machine
run through all your gasoline
fly them overtime
nevermind you've reached the end of the line
drop the hourglass of time
spinning sand we will not find
as we gather here today
we bid farewell
the slave becomes the master

the slave becomes the master
need more and more
right now and ever after
need more and more

new consequence machine
run through all your gasoline
fly them overtime
nevermind cannot go back through time
sand we will not ever find
we gather here today
say goodbye
'cause you've reached the end of the line

the end of the line
you've reached the end of the line
				

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
				

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 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
				

you rise you fall your down and you rise again
what don't kill you makes you more strong
you rise you fall your down and you rise again
what don't kill you made you more strong
rise fall down rise again
what don't kill you makes you more strong
rise fall down rise again
what don't kill you made you more strong
through black days through black nights
through pitch black insights

breaking your teeth on the high life?? are coming
show your scars
cutting your feet on the hard earth running
show your scars

broken beat and scarred
but we die hard

dawn the death the fight to the final breath
what don't kill you made you more strong
the dawn the death the fight to the final breath
what don't kill you make you more strong
dawn death fight final breath
what don't kill you make you more strong
dawn death fight final breath
what don't kill you make you more strong
the scratch me they scrape me they cut and rape me

breaking your teeth on the high life?? are coming
show your scars
cutting your feet on the hard earth running
show your scars

breaking your life and broken beat and scarred
but we die hard

breaking your teeth on the hard life?? are coming
show your scars
cutting your feet on the hard earth running
show your scars

braiding your soul in a hard luck story
show your scars
spilling your blood an a hot suns foray

breaking your life and broken beat and scarred
but we die hard

we die hard!!!
we die hard
				

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!

horrific memory twists the mind
dark, rugged, cold and hard to turn
path of destruction, feel it burn
still life
incarnation
still life
infamy

hallucination
heresy
still you run, what's to come?
what's today?

'cause we hunt you down without mercy
hunt you down all nightmare long
feel us breathe upon your face
feel us shift, every move we trace
hunt you down without mercy
hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah
luck. runs.

you crawl back in
but your luck runs out

[instrumental]
				

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!
				

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

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
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
				

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
