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
				

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!
				

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...
but the memory remains

yeah
faded prima donna yeah, yeah

(solo)
dance little tin goddess dance
"ya ya" part 
				

Wake to face the day
Grab this life and walk away
War is never done
Rub the patch and battle on
Make it go away
Please make it go away

Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
All sanity is but a memory
My life

The war that never ends

Leave the battlefield
Yet its horrors never heal
Coming home from war
Pieces don't fit anymore
Make it go away
Please make it go away

Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
All sanity is but a memory
My life

The war that never ends

Father please come home
Shell shocked all I've known
Father please come home

Label him a deadwood soldier now
Cast away and left to roam
Rapid is the road to sacrifice
Just takes longer to come home

Confusion
All sanity is now beyond me
Delusion
Crossfire ricochets inside me
Trapped in a memory forever
My life

The war that never ends
				

Blacked out
Pop queen, amphetamine
The screams crashed into silence

Tapped out
Doused in the gasoline
The high times going timeless

Decadence
Death of the innocence
The pathway starts to spiral

Infamy
All for publicity
Destruction going viral

Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, kill the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again

Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame

Twisted
Backstabbing wicked
The delusion absolution

Perjurer
Fame is the murderer
Seduce you into ruin

Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, tell the truth
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again

Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Burn

Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still
Overdose on shame and insecurity
If one won't do that fistful will

Death scene
Black hearse the limousine
A grave filled with seduction

Vaccine
Fame does the murdering
She builds up for destruction

So light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, no excuse
You're falling, but you think you're flying high
High again

Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame

Addicted to the
Fame
				

you know i wait my whole lifetime for you

i ride the dirt i ride the tide for you
i search the outside search inside for you
to take back what you left me
i know i'll always burn to be
no one seeks so i may find
and now i wait my whole lifetime
my whole lifetime

so on i wait my whole lifetime for you
so on i wait my whole lifetime for you

the more i search the more my need for you
the more i blast the more i bleed for you
you make me smash the clock and feel
i'd rather die behind the wheel
time was never on my side 
so on i wait my whole lifetime

my whole lifetime
and i'm torn
and if i close my mind in fear
please pry it open
and if my face becomes sincere
beware
and when i start to come undone
stitch me together
and when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn

and if i close my mind in fear
please pry it open 
and if my face becomes sincere
beware
and when i start to come undone
stitch me together
and when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn
				

and it feels right this time
on his crash course with the big time
paid no mind to the distant thunder
today filled his head with wonder... boy

says it feels right this time
turn around and found the light lime
good day to be alive...sir
good day to be alive he said

then it comes to be that the soothing light 
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way
then it comes to be that the soothing light 
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way

don't it feel right like this
all the pieces fall to his wish
sucker for that quick reward...boy
sucker for that quick reward they said

then it comes to be that the soothing light 
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way
then it comes to be that the soothing light 
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way
it's comin' your way
it's comin your way
it comes!

then it comes to be that the soothing light 
at the end of your tunnel
was just a freight train comin your way

then it comes to be...yeah
				

Obey
Obey
Come won't you stay
Sincere
Sincere
All ends in tears
Endure
Endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede
Concede
But both shall we bleed

Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire

Allure
Allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide
Abide
Secrets inside
Deprive
Deprive
To feel so alive
Obey
Obey
Just don't turn away

Oh, Halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast, is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire

Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection

Too dark to sleep
Can't slip away
Open or close
My eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come won't you stay

Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye
Hello darkness
Say goodbye

how could he know this new dawn's light
would change his life forever?
set sail to sea but pulled off course
by the light of golden treasure

was he the one causing pain
with his careless dreaming?
been afraid
always afraid
of the things he's feeling
he could just be gone

he would just sail on
he would just sail on

how can i be lost?
if i've got nowhere to go?
searched the seas of gold
how come it's got so cold?
how can i be lost
in remembrance i relive
how can i blame you
when it's me i can't forgive?

these days drift on inside a fog
it's thick and suffocating
this seeking life outside its hell
inside intoxicating
he's run aground
like his life
water's much too shallow
slipping fast
down with the ship
fading in the shadows now
a castaway

blame
all gone
away

blame gone away

how can i be lost
if i've got nowhere to go?
search for seas of gold
how come it's got so cold?
how can i be lost
in remembrance i relive
and how can i blame you
when it's me i can't forgive?

forgive me
forgive me not
forgive me
forgive me not
forgive me
forgive me not
forgive me
forgive me, why can't i forgive me?

set sail to sea but pulled off course
by the light of golden treasure
how could he know this new dawn's light
would change his life forever

how can i be lost
if i've got nowhere to go?
search for seas of gold
how come it's got so cold?
how can i be lost
in remembrance i relive
so how can i blame you
when it's me i can't forgive?
				

all within my hands
squeeze it in, crush it down
all within my hands
hold it dear, hold it suffocate

all within my hands
love to death, smack you 'round and 'round and
all within my hands
beware

love is control
i'll die if i let go

hate me now
kill all within my hands
hate me now
crush all within my hands
squeeze all within my hands
choke all within my hands
hate me now
trap all within my hands
hurry up and hate me now
kill all within my hands

all within my hands
take your fear, pump me up
all within my hands
let you run, then i pull your leash

all within my hands
under thumb, under to myself
all within my hands
beware

hate me now
kill all within my hands
hate me now
crush all within my hands
squeeze all within my hands
choke all within my hands
hate me now
trap all within my hands
hurry up and hate me now
kill all within my hands again

i'll die if i let go
control is love, love is control
i'll die if i let go
control is love, love is control

i will only let you breath
my air that you receive
then we'll see if i let you love me
kill kill kill kill kill

...and the road becomes my bride
i have stripped of all but pride
so in her i do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all i need

...and with dust in throat i crave
only knowledge will i save
to the game you stay a slave
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll redefine anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
i adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars i've grown
by myself but not alone
i ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
the less i have the more i gain
off the beaten path i reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will

but i'll take my time anywhere
i'm free to speak my mind anywhere
and i'll never mind anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home

but i'll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and i'll take my find anywhere
anywhere i may roam
where i lay my head is home

carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still i roam
wherever i may roam
				

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
				

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
Master
				

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
