It's the calm before the storm Wishing you could see the light Growing fear and sadness there Can you tell its your final sight Tubes and wires keep you here Not alive and yet not dead No feelings
You're wide awake in your head While the prayers have been said All the love thats been bled Its just a kiss for the dead
In your world of constant dreams A lifeless body with its frozen stare People cry and pray for you to waken All this pain you cannot bear Wishing someone would pull the plug All you do is shed a tear No feelings
This world of sleeping, continue dreaming
To see the light now, in endless night now Could cleanse this chaos from my mind
Lifeless body, frozen stare In a world of constant dreams Lifeless body, frozen stare It's a different kind of sleep No feelings No feelings
Your woman's unfaithful, she's got a backdoor man You've seen the signs and you understand Don't get excited now, I know just what to do I got the guns, ha-ha, I got the tools
Yes I'm the one they call the man Any time at all, I'm just a hitman I'll get the job done No one will ever know it was you, it was you
They got their men promoted before it's time His neck you break for one thin measly dime Don't get excited, I got a plan We'll take him down now, he'll be one dead man
Yes I'm the one they call the man Any time at all, I'm just a hitman I'll get the job done No one will ever know it was you, it was you
Just don't pay me, then you will see What a dead man really can do
You're at the cemetary feeling all alone Just like a dog who done stole the bone You start to cry or make one little sound You'll be the next one, I'll put you in the ground
Yes I'm the one they call the man Any time at all, I'm just a hitman I'll get the job done No one will ever know it was you, it was you
So now I've told you time after time Jump to conclusions when you make up your mind Is this the road you want to be on You'll find out soon that it's not very long
Evil is breeding the master is grieving A lie so deceiving We all fall down
I see the news and it tells me each day Is it a life when its not in the way Which is it now please tell me this time Before its too late and we all cross the line
Evil is breeding the master is grieving Ashes to ashes We all fall down
How many times will you let things go by Before you stop believing the lie As we are blindly lead right into the noose
Arrington Rip it up, kick it out. Blood begins to flow. Taking chances, The only way I know. Sacrificed everything. I'm the grinding stone. Ripping flesh, drawing blood. I'd love to eat your bones.
My world will not cave in. I will dare so I will win. Hear the timebombs begin to tick. I'll hit you like a ton of bricks.
Hammer or anvil, You must pay the price. Thunder, lightning, Yes, it does strike twice. Vice grips hold me, Keep me in control. And if you think I'm kidding you, You will feel the fatal blow.
My world will not cave in. I will dare so I will win. Hear the timebombs begin to tick. I'll hit you like a ton of bricks, ton of bricks.
Oh yeah, you! I know that it's true Do you have a clue To what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna
Rip it up, kick it out Blood begins to flow Taking chances The only way I know Sacrificed everything I'm the grinding stone Ripping flesh and drawing blood I'd love to eat your bones
My world will not cave in I will dare so I will win Hear the timebombs begin to tick I'll hit you like a ton of bricks
Ton of bricks, ton of bricks
Oh yeah, you! I know that it's true Do you have a clue To what I'm gonna do?
Is it just the Things you see that make it all worth while Put your God into a box and keep him by your side Hopeless is the refugee escaping from the truth The mothership has passed you by now there's nothing you can do
My time is finished here Now choose what you must do My eyes have shed the tears And paid the price for you Many here have seen the light The devil sits and wonders The man who keeps his heart a stone Is the man who sleeps with thunder
Monuments and shrines are built to spirits that deceive Soft associations with the angels you believe Soon to find your friendly guides have lead you far astray Now you walk in blackest night you never learned to pray
In your mind you pacify Tricks and tales and lullabyes Now you bid your soul goodbye
When you climb that mountain while the rain is coming round The peak is only visible on your way back down Everyone will tell you what it is you should believe But hearing what you want to hear will give you no relief
Extended hand a friendly man who doesn't trust a soul I wonder why that meeting eyes could put your life on hold Do people feel humanity is something of the past? A kind hello, a favor done, these days could be your last
Bar your windows, lock your doors, choose your colors And stay down on the floor Amidst a subtle war that's right outside your door Amidst a subtle war
You can't go there at night unless you're feeling immortal 'Cause all of them have guns and knives, at least that's what we're told A neighborhood or DMZ, but people call it home Scared to death of living there, but got nowhere to go
Bar your windows, lock your doors, choose your colors And stay down on the floor Amidst a subtle war that's right outside your door Amidst a subtle war
Pick your weapon Talk to no one Paranoia Can we take this anymore
Amidst a subtle war that's right outside your door Amidst a subtle war
I hear it in a minstrel wind, it's crying out the tune Of a prophet's only hope to tell the world He wrote down it on parchment, but alas no one believes Of the vision only one man could conceive
He knows it's true
Will the people have the ears to hear or will they turn their heads And blind their eyes to the truth once again How is it that you know the season's changing by the leaves But still you do not know that summer's near?
It's near
So many teachers preach a lie to the sheep who need a guide They need a God that they can touch and see But only if your faith is strong and hope for the unseen You'll find peace amongst the tragedy
Woe to those who hear not Woe to souls who've been bought Oh, it's written on the page Woe to those who fear not Woe to souls who've been bought You don't see the ending of the age
You wandered throught the wilderness for forty years or more To lead you to the promised land, promised years before Yet still you bowed down to a calf you made with your own hands Have you still not learned a thing, the wickedness of man
And oh, hands up to the sky And oh, the angel passes by
One bowl for the wicked One bowl for the sea One bowl for the rivers Men screamed in agony The sun will then be darkened The moon will give no light The earthquakes will shake up the earth The terror in the night
And oh, hands up to the sky And oh, watch the beast begin to rise
Remember what I've told you Remember what you've seen And tell the human race just what it means
Mama, I'm crying, did the silver angel warn the earth From a blue sky falling? Father, I'm frightened, what will happen if it falls again? Will you be there to shelter me? The little dot that falls, a little boy, that's all That's all
Morning comes, I walk to school, but something's in the air Things have changed, there's war at hand, but I'm too young to care My home is a paradise, a jewel in the east My family, they have seen the battles, they're praying for relief Soon to be over, my father he said, victory is ours son We will mourn all of our dead
I wonder what happens when a world is at war In order to win, does someone else keep the score? I think of my future on this beautiful day How could I have known that the end's on its way?
The sky is quiet Just one single plane To bring destruction Has mankind gone insane?
What happened to the land? Metal fused with stone Nothing remains, nothing lives Burned through the bone
The sun touched the earth somehow, life melts away One city barren wasteland, a split-second blaze The heat turned the men to shadows, the sand into glass A master stroke of evil in a blinding flash
The sea of dead and dying increases by the day For years to come we pay the price of science gone astray
I'm your conductor, welcome to the station Always got an empty seat, no need for reservation There's no need to hesitate, come and step inside Take a chance, climb aboard, come enjoy the ride
Here we have the secrets, here we have the answers All forgotten heroes, lost and crippled dancers Come and take my hand child, step onto the stage Dreams that can unlock your mind, like keys unlock a cage
Step into the lamp child, 'neath the engine's gaze If you never quite belonged, this train it welcomes strays, for they return Look into my eyes and see they burn Take a look at history and learn All the lessons that the years have earned Still they return
I'm your conductor, what's your destination? There's no need for baggage here, so leave it at the station Tell me what you want child, tell me if you see Beckoning in the dark, immortality
Yesterday's a dream now, nearly an illusion Tommorrow's just a fantasy that's bordering delusion All the days you've yet to live are rushing towards the past Curtain's up, climb aboard, through the looking glass
Step into the lamp child, 'neath the engine's gaze If you never quite belonged, this train it welcomes strays for they return Look into my eyes and see they burn Take a look at history and learn All the lessons that the years have earned Still they return
Night time, see the castles burning Smoke in the skies and tears in their eyes As the world keeps turning Sleep now, hear a distant thunder It's far away, at least for today Close your eyes and wonder
Spring turns so quickly to summer Summer so quickly to fall It seemed far away, or it was yesterday When time didn't matter at all And then you met your winter While dancing with her daughters Till tired and cold Were much wiser than bold You wait for tomorrow to call
All of your life you have waited alone for a Savior He's not coming A carousel horse, who is constantly lost Standing still but always running And all of those things that you needed so bad You have found they mean nothing Oh Lord, I'm coming home
I'm searching through the haze that's drifting through my mind Stare in the looking glass and wonder who I'll find No one would listen to a man upon the water Until they were old and their mountains of gold couldn't buy any more time
All of your life you have waited alone for the Savior He's not coming A carousel horse, who is constantly lost Standing still but always running And all of those things that you needed so bad You have found they mean nothing And Oh Lord, I'm coming home
No one's born with hatred, it's something that you learn How do you think the good Lord feels, about the crosses you burn What makes you hate the difference of someone's skin or race? You must think you have more rights to be living in this place
I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind? Afraid to take a look at yourself, afraid of the things you will find You're no friend of mine
The Dark Ages are over, in case you haven't heard While you're lost in ignorance, you killed a mockingbird Hide behind your bedclothes, meet in some secret place One day soon this hate you've brewed will blow up in your face
I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind? Afraid to take a look at yourself, afraid of the things you will find You're no friend of mine
Black and white and yellow, living side by side The children always play together, we taught them otherwise All men created equal, all have human rights So tell me why we hate each other, no winners in the fight
I don't know what you feel, or have you lost your mind? Afraid to take a look at yourself, afraid of the things you will find You're no friend of mine
You won't find me, in my bed right off the bat 'Cause I've been working, all night long for centuries Bloody Mary, the drink of choice for those who dabble In the nightlife, a well dressed beast with savoir-faire
Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near You are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear
When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized
I'm in the shadows, don't cross my path or stake my claim, 'Cause you'll fall victim, and you will not be seen again Holy water, no thirst can make me drink it My cup runs over, the crimson liquid that I need
Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near You are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear
When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized
Prince of Darkness, just the thought of daylight sends me Into hiding, waiting for the night to come
Great God Almighty, I get the craving whenever you're near You are just the right type, a little bit closer my dear
When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized When you start to realize, it's too late, you're hypnotized You're hypnotized
The endless years and hardluck tales, and some that have just moved on, I guess it could be envy when I wonder what's gone wrong Fingers point at all the problems, but that won't change my mind I must have been held back in hardknox school a few more times
A few more years, a few more tears, are we the losers in the game? When time is done and kingdom come, we'll not be losers in the game!
No one ever said it's easy to watch the world go by Console myself by trying and trying, and trying just one more time Put on a smile and fake your way in through another door But only if you have more luck than a thousand times before
A few more years, a few more tears, are we the losers in the game? When time is done and kingdom come, we'll not be losers in the game!
Try again, change direction, spend more money, new horizons, what's it gonna be? Take your hits, I hate my job, live like who, think like what, no thanks I'll just stay me
A few more years, a few more tears, are we the losers in the game? When time is done and kingdom come, we'll not be losers in the game!
