Sleepy city in the midnight calm
All awoken by death's alarm Frenzied panic everyone's in shock Search-lights show the coming of the iron flock Blockbusters falling down like rain Birds of steel deliver death and pain Chorus: Blackout when the sirens sound Bombs be fallin' y'all you better get down Blackout all over town Woman and children go down in the ground Blackout [4x] Dictators and terror kings Invade us with their war machines Nowhere to run, nowhere to go Think we're gonna lay down and die Ya cry "hell no" Man the cannons and open fire Flames of war burning higher and higher Chorus [2x] Blackout when the sirens sound Yeah, the blitz is coming, oh the blitz is coming Blackout all over town Armageddon coming, yeah, Armageddon coming Blackout [3x] There's gonna be a blackout! |

81 billion beats the soldier's drum
Price of living too high to overcome Politician preaching that war's the only way While another bum dies in the streets of L.A It's all a lie unjustified It's all for black gold Killing Christian, killing Hebrew Killing Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu You can't take life So sayth the holy books that you read Manipulated minds Serving prophets of greed It's all a lie unjustified It's all for black gold And another one dies unjustified We're selling our souls Woe to the beggars catching pity in their hands While the rich feast on the blood media Broadcast across the land And somewhere there's a child in a distant house Feeling only what children know Fed from a cauldron of hate Grows to deliver a badly blow It's all a lie unjustified And another one dies unjustified We're all terrorized and horrified All for black gold |

Late one night I was fixin' to fight
A dirty hustler tryin' to cop my $$$ When from behind a whiskey bottle Cracked me then I hit the floor Barely alive I could feel him drive A black needle in to draw my blood With an evil grin he sang a mojo hymn And left me face down in the mud Dark angel gonna get me Lord, set me free I've been cursed by a voodoo hand Black magic all around Oh mama, pray for my soul I'm dying on this killing ground Cursed by a voodoo hand Death's needle pushing down Oh mama, pray for my soul I'm dying on this killing ground Well, I headed south by word of mouth To a shack down Louisiana way I meet another man with voodoo hands And this is what he had to say I feel it in my bones That your restless soul's Tormented by an evil curse But if this mojo man Got your blood in his hands No way the spell can be reversed Dark angel ain't gonna let me be I've been cursed by a voodoo hand Black magic all around Oh mama, pray for my soul I'm dying on this killing ground Cursed by a voodoo hand Death's needle pushing, pushing Oh mama, pray for my soul I'm dying on this killing ground Oh Lord, I'm dying Cursed by a voodoo hand Black magic all around Oh mama, pray for my soul I'm dying on this killing ground Cursed by a voodoo hand Death's needle pushing down Oh mama, pray for my soul I'm dying on this killing ground |

Feeling heavy, got this stone on my back
It's driving me insane Like a levee that's beginning to crack Holding back this river of pain Desperation has captured my soul My mind stricken with fear Don't see why I should try to go on The voice of reason's calling me It's calling me, but I can't hear it Oh, my hands are shaking Rattled nerves on the verge of breaking That blade is turning on me Turning, turning (Guardian) Angel, where are you now? No one can save me, only you know how (Guardian) Angel, out on a ledge Pull me away and save me from the bleeding edge Lonely days and lonelier nights No love come around my door Oh, then demons they just screamin' away Lord, I can't take it I can't take enough to make it go away I'm feeling jaded Tired eyes on the verge of fading Oh no, oh here they come again Trying to tell me death is my friend (Guardian) Angel, where are you now? No one can save me, only you can save me now (Guardian) Angel, out on a ledge Pull me away and save me from the bleeding edge |

So long
Since I've seen you it's been a while Searching I'm still searching for a smile The distance there is between us Doesn't ease the pain No matter how far away you are In my mind your eyes remain [Chorus:] Every night I see you in my dreams And there you'll stay Tearing myself to pieces Knowing things will never be the same Your love Is all I ever wanted to know Moving on It's hard to do when you can't seem to find the road I'm so lost Lost in the memories of yesterday So here I am talking to your stone All alone, running out of things to say [Chorus] Every night I see you in my dreams And there you'll stay Knowing inside I must believe In heaven we'll meet again someday |

I hear you knocking
But you can't come in My shotty's cocked I'm playing hell to win You can't imagine How it can consume The game is winning Can't avoid my doom I guess you've noticed That I'm not the same Devils conspire To control my brain [Chorus:] Yeah, I can feel Mad seasons changing Everything and nothing's real My eyes are going Yeah, I can't feel my reasons changing Everything and nothing's real My spirits blown away The moon is talking And I must comply The dead are walking Can't avoid their eyes The dawn's upon me now I cannot quit Reduced to defecating Where I sit, oh no I guess you've noticed That I'm not the same Devils conspire To control my brain [Chorus] Away [16x] |

She was born in a sea of rage
A star we call the sun forged her body In an ancient age She fought hard to raise us But still we look to the stars Seeking life in the great beyond Life beyond this life of ours She reigns on and on Spinning into oblivion Silver string She pulls me back Within her sentinel moon Shielding me from the lifeless black When all her children leave I will stay behind To guard the queen And hold the line She reigns on and on Spinning into oblivion Oh, she's divine The envy of all around her Oh, a beautiful aura of blue surrounds her She reigns on and on Spinning into oblivion She reigns on and on Spinning into oblivion Oh, she's divine The envy of all around her Oh, the mystical aura of life Surrounds her After all is dead and gone Her spirit lives on forever |

Friday night
I'm on the prowl With Saucey Jack and Captain Coke Rollin' cannons and I'm fanning the greens Feelin' mean Feelin' rock and roll [Chorus:] I need a kick in the ass Need a blast I want a fast girl or two Oh Lord, dirty livin' gonna kill me But oh I love it so Ya know I do Old vices got me down Damn dope callin' my name Everyday I play a losing hand But I refuse to quit the game Lord, have mercy [Chorus] Blowin' lights all over town I got to move, I got to go Livin' life on a razor's edge Kiss the bones and let 'em roll Roll, baby, roll [Chorus] I need a kick in the ass Need a blast I want a fast girl or two Oh Lord, I know it's gonna kill me But I gotta do What I got to do Alright |

Well, here we are
It's the world against us again Again and again Heartbreak after heartbreak We force the wings of love into the wind Again and again All our lives we struggled I've come to realize I've always found the strength to fight When I see your eyes In your eyes [Chorus:] We will fly, you and I Wherever we go Whatever road we choose We can't lose There'll be days when the going is hard But it's just another bend Just another little bend in the road Oh yes, it is Just a little bend A little bend in the road Where do they go? Youthful years, they slip away Far, far away Been gone too long Home is where I want to stay Always, always For so long we struggled just to get by I've always found the strength to fight When I see your eyes In your eyes [Chorus] So here we are Playing the same old game again Again and again Against the odds We seem to find a way to win Again and again All of life's a struggle You've come to realize In faith you find the strength to climb To reach the skies [Chorus] |
