You take a wife, new born, a family, he said you'd see when it comes time To be a man to do what's right You'll always find a way to make your way through life When my old man he said to me treat mankind with dignity Start with no one finding someone that you need Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife Never growing old, going home will free his spirit When my old man he said to me the world moves fast boy with no guarantees Trust in no one till you find someone you believe Then my father past away from this world to a grave Mother earth, sands of time a better place, the afterlife Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife Never growing old, going home will free his spirit Never ending love, is there hope in the afterlife Reach into my soul, I'll see my dad in the afterlife When my old man was alive he always would teach When my old man was alive he always believed in me He helps shape his son, the man that I've become Then my old man said to me embrace the past Listen son carry on our legacy Then my father passed away from this world to a grave Mother earth, sands of time a better place, the afterlife Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife Never growing old, going home will free his spirit Never ending love, is there hope in the afterlife Reach into my soul, I'll see my dad in the afterlife |

Predicting war, predicting life, predicting when disaster strikes
Living life, living death, living on borrowed time End of time, end of days, end of all the things you save See the future, see the past, what does he have in store... Through the years, through the eyes and the lies The world he sees has become no surprise Through the years and the tears and the lies Condemned to hell, condemned to fate, condemned to time Sacrament, sacrilege, altar to a sacrifice Smell the blood, smell the death, smell the stench of demons' breath Filled with love, filled with hate, filled with hope that dissipates Fallen hero, fallen god, fallen victims that we've become Through the years, through the eyes and the lies The world he sees has become no surprise Through the years and the tears and the lies Condemned to hell, condemned to fate, condemned to time When you step into the circle prepare yourself as we choose your fate As you're bleeding at the altar for your sins with blood you'll pay |

> The psycho logic of the civilized, controlling thoughts within their eyes
Contamination of the chemical, the hidden force within the soul Fear alive will come alive fear will go, through the darkness and the woes There will be a light deep below, the sub-conscience only knows fear The politician and their freedom fight, when all is wrong there is no right The key of lies opening the door, to sacrifices in the holy war The promise of eternal afterlife, manipulation internal strife Forever-after has a fatal flaw, religious leaders above the law Fear will come alive fear will go, through the darkness and the woes There will be a light deep below, the sub-conscience only knows Fear, fear, shattering the atmosphere fear, fear, travesty is here Here, here, covering the path that's clear Fear is only what you feel... false evidence appearing real Black emotions grow on trees of scorn, seeds are planted from the day we're born Plucked from darkness rushing to the light, instinct pulling you to fight or flight Paralyzed, vilified, voices within your soul are calling from deep inside Terrorized, victimized, false prophets - nothing more than thoughts within your mind The penetration of a deep abyss, along a passage to nothingness Within the corners of the hidden eye, is where the sources of evil lie So if you suffer with no end in sight, the veil of fear is an endless night Through confrontation it will be gone, the night is dark just before the dawn Fear will come alive fear will go, through the darkness and the woes There will be a light deep below, the sub-conscience only knows Fear, fear, shattering the atmosphere fear, fear, travesty is here Here, here, covering the path that's clear Fear is only what you feel... false evidence appearing real |

This prison captures me, my cell is all I know I thought I knew it all, stubborn in my ways My sentence has begun, my future's what I waste Next chapter of my life is filled with violent scenes I stay awake at night running from my dreams The voices haunting me, driving me insane Can't seem to get away, they're calling out my name I feel that I am slipping Are they out to get me My life is upside down More than meets the eye For now I am in control, choosing my own fate And now I sleep at night because I'm not afraid My demons haunting me, I chased them all away I've conquered all my fears, my destiny awaits I'm no longer slipping I'm not slipping away No one's out to get me No one will get in my way No longer upside down I've turned my life around More than meets the eye More than More than More than More than meets the eye |

The sky began to fall, ripping open a path up to Heaven
Time slowed to a crawl early morning September eleventh Steel crumbling frames, the scales of justice are decimated Hate ignites the flames, New York city incinerated See the flames on the river, is this our judgement day? Praying hands of a killer when evil flies our way Our way The towers got hit, a steel bird with wings of destruction As the building split, the skyline has been deconstructed So many people killed, two thousand nine hundred and seventy four Innocent blood spilled, extremist plotting a holy war See the flames on the river, terrorism sealed our fate Praying hands of a killer reciting a sermon of hate Will you please reconsider, is this our judgement day? Time to stand and deliver when evil flies our way Flies our way We will pick up the pieces We never cast the first stone Through all the bereavement We will rebuild our home The sky began to fall, ripping opening a path up to Heaven Time slowed to a crawl early morning September eleventh See the flames on the river, terrorism sealed our fate Praying hands of a killer reciting a sermon of hate Will you please reconsider, is this our judgement day?

Before him dressed In the armor of the dead Crossed fists Can't deny The swift sword Getting closer to their lair Follow me and I'll give you a king Singing over talking Fight with me and kill for your king Hatred was a man out to seek Vengeance for the death of his father For he is the one bears the mark Of the great warrior king and No one can stop him Waiting For tonight The ax swings Into battle on the wall Striking Blows from life For my king Deathly victim of the blade Stabbing and slashing When night falls They all must die... Beating and bashing With blood lust From hatred's rise The high priest Blessed the blood shed Of defeat The smell of death roams Through the air Rising Flames of war Shine through the night Until the dawn the troopers storm Stabbing and slashing The nights gone No one alive...

The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit!

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! See their dreams come to life Under pressure holding tight Feel the cold grabbing hold To feed you to the haunting night Evil witch black as pitch Starts a fire with a flinch Burning fire rising higher Making music like a choir Children of the night They큥e howling at black skies The ruthless calls within For the haunting now begins Stay away from the shining light Can큧 seem to find the answer there Bring back the terror in the night That we all share tonight Hear the screams, screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! |

We're gonna take you backThrough the pages of the pastJust another lonely boyI could laugh and playAnd live in any other wayThen the devil took my soulThe fortune and the fameI knew I was not the sameAnd I know I'd never returnLooking at the skyI knew I would never dieAnd forever shining throughWish the sky would sayThat blue would turn to greyAnd I know I'd be thereLike was like a fantasyTaken by realityDoes anyone remember meYou once knew meFlashes of the dayI knew I was here to stayBut no one stays the sameTurn the pages back in timeThrough the chapters in my mindLife's too short to leave behindIt's too lateLike was like a fantasyTaken by realityDoes anyone remember meYou once knew meFlashes of the dayI knew I was here to stayBut no oneKnows my name

When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war?

Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit!

Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Hammering anvils straining muscle and might Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright Fast devastating and desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth Wielding the axe comes the one culmination That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay Pounding the world like a battering ram Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Second to none |

Nothing to live for What started with a simple match Turned into something more The pain I felt inside my head Came on my day of birth Now the time has come for me To burn the planet earth [Chorus] I can feel the fire Burning inside of me The powers at my fingers Waiting you shall see Burn! Ignite the population Burn! Causing mass cremation Burn! Feel no shame or pity Burn! Apocalyptic city Years have passed as I stood still To plan the final blow I'll make the town go up in flames A hellish death they'll know As I pour on the gasoline I listen deep inside I hear the cries of all my victims Nowhere to run or hide [Chorus] Now my great assault is over And my life is done Staring at my great infernos Was my only fun So I leave you with my tale Here my conscious falls Victim of myself So now I'll end it all [Chorus] |

A world of chaos A world of fear A world of anger and corruption When all is lost And millions starve Is this humanity's destruction? Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? No one help us, The children pray Nobody listens to their crying This great depression When will it end? To live like this is worse than dying Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? Your destiny is over Your fate has declined Refuse to discover What so many could find Death's endless toil As I long for rest Life's now forsaken Condemned to repress! [Guitar Solo] No sign of Heaven No sign of Hell Just the sign of pain and sorrow This generation inhabits all To form an order for tomorrow Life! A game that people play Cryout!

I am alive I feel dirt in my eyes There's no escape when redemption is lost I'm not a saint There's no use looking No sins to deny Just my will to go on Arms of darkness Embrace me in madness In my life it's mandatory Hard to resist you I still can't forgive you For sins that I cannot wash away Hail Mary full of grace Throw some light upon this race Intertwining final breath Now... in the hour of death (Solo: James) Bound by lies Of constant denial Pay for my sins that I bear for a child I'm not a saint There's no use denying Falling from grace Is my reason to go on Hail Mary full of grace Push me down, and kick me in my face Inter-twinning final breath Now... in the hour of death |

To a place far from here No one will see us Watch the pain as it disappears No time for anger No time for despair Won't you come with me There's a room for us there This innocent beauty My words can't describe This rebirth purity Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes No time for anger No time for despair Please let me take you 'cause I'm already there I'm so alone My head's my home I'll return to serenity Rhyme without reason is why children cry They see through the system That's breeding them just so they die So please let me take you And I'll show you the truth Inside my reality We shared in our youth [CHORUS :] I'm so alone My head's my home And I feel So alone You know At last I'll return to serenity ... Now that I've taken you To a place far from here I really must go back Close your eyes and we'll disappear Won't you come with me Salvation we'll share Inside of my head now There's a room for us there CHORUS: |

When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of the future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes In days of old When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach |

See the sun as the day is done
Life is of the broken ones Some will stray as time will come Al their lives, the live it well Red man proud and giving hell Some stand and shining tall Can you hear them call? See the sun as it's setting still Tears fall from a warrior Damn those who I feel Set a trail to the promised land Mother and child holding hand in hand Through the snow or through the sands All across the land... Full moon's rising from the sky, a warrior's riding Ride with the wind So far away, the spirits will guide you No more sorrow Don't look back, your freedom will follow Flying so free Can't you see... on the trail of tears Full moon's rising from the sky, a warrior's riding Ride with the wind So far away, the spirits will guide you No more sorrow Don't look back, your freedom will follow Flying so free Can't you see... on the trail of tears |

Paralyzed And never coming back Even when your eyes are open Everything turns to black Soon forgotten senses Incubates the soul Hiding from the light fantastic Waiting for the show Contemplation Reality starts to fade Creeping stare behind dead eyes As the minutes burn the day Inactive wandering Still can't get a grip Can God hear your cry Before you start to slip Chasing fear Human mind unglued Unaware That fear is chasing you Endless waiting For nothing to appear Even when your eyes are shut The visions are so clear Harmonious dissidence Obscure reckoning Did you hear that final note Of silent suffering Chasing fear Human mind unglued Disappear The sickness inside of you Chasing fear Nothing you can do Unaware That fear is chasing you Solos: Eric, James Loss of function Withering of the will Condemned to a state of nothing Moving in for the kill Brain cells slowly boil With memories intertwined Listening to that empty space Atrophy of the mind Chasing fear Human mind unglued Disappear The sickness inside of you Chasing fear Nothing you can do Unaware That fear is chasing you |

Hail Mary - Testament
I am alive I feel dirt in my eyes There's no escape when redemption is lost I'm not a saint There's no use looking No sins to deny Just my will to go on Arms of darkness Embrace me in madness In my life it's mandatory Hard to resist you I still can't forgive you For sins that I cannot wash away Hail Mary full of grace Throw some light upon this race Intertwining final breath Now... in the hour of death (Solo: James) Bound by lies Of constant denial Pay for my sins that I bear for a child I'm not a saint There's no use denying Falling from grace Is my reason to go on Hail Mary full of grace Push me down, and kick me in my face Inter-twinning final breath Now... in the hour of death |

Domestically violent
With razor blade smiles Infested with anger A well hidden crime Teaching those lessons so cruel Ah, the torment spreads War inside my head Please just set me free You call this... a family? Battered, abusive There's no wrong or right When you're enslaved in your room Hiding from demons In urban daylight Knowing that they'll be here soon Confusion and bruises And scars left for life When physical evidence fades Silently screaming Just to be loved Their innocence taken away Ah, the torment spreads War inside my head Please just set me free You call this... a family? [Solos: Eric, James] Virtues are shattered By parents they trust When all love they give is misued The next generation The damaged will learn To keep spinning wheels of abuse Ah, the torment spreads War inside my head Please just set me free You call this... a family? |

It's man against mankind Bruises that they bear Been beaten down with time Innocent people suffer the loss Your broken hope so close to the cross Sometimes, you just don't know How low... how low you can go... So low it's sickening Low... Low... show some mercy... Hey you piece of shit Just leave the kids alone Why can't you bear The things that we endure Innocent people suffer the loss Lost hope with faith to the cross Sometimes, you just don't know How low... how low you can go...

Damn the machine the system's corrupted
Abusive power is everywhere Our elected officals, pass laws to help But who's paying them off And in the end, we the people pay Such a heavy price, just for being alive And if this country was really free We'd make paper from hemp and let the forest live But corporate America, and billion dollar industries Have so much power Yet they stand to lose Too much fucking money There's nothing we can do... but... Take back all that we've lost At any price that it costs Our freedom was worth fighting for Resistance now or nevermore [Solo: James] And what about the CIA What the fuck is their real job anyway Starting civil wars in Third World countries Importing heroin from the far east Talk about cocaine, neither kept away From the youths of today... now There's nothing we can do... but... Take back all that we've lost At any price that it costs Our freedom was worth fighting for Resistance now or nevermore |

Doesn't know what to do anymore
Jesus makes love to the spike A trick for a fix and feeling so sick Just can't seem to get right Once he was the king of his world a world without any order sold it all without thinking twice just for a spoonful of water Ride, ride on through ride, ride through you ride, ride on through ride, right through you Ceremonious ritual raising of the veins always early and feeling so late waving goodbye to the train Ride, ride on through ride, ride through you ride, ride on through ride right through you Slowly scratching away at the world fearless when he is stoned obsessed by the dreams of what could've been trapped in his kingdom alone Ride, ride on through ride, ride through you ride, ride on through ride right through you |

Burial of a human being A man before a boy Born to fight in another man's world Not a world where there's a war Born relihiously Truth is what they see Death won't come form peace Who fuels this war? Solo: Eric Sacred ground of life Burnt remains of the dead Bodies lay to rest Spirits of the earth Rancid man, burned alive Too blind to see what's wrong from right Locked inside this cage So many times blood has poured Walk with shadows Hear the shades of war... forever more Brought into this world of bitter pain Are we safe... or just insane Solo: James Rancid man, burned alive Too blind to see what's wrong from right Darkness veils their way So many times blood has poured Walk with shadows Hear the shades of war... forever more |

Trapped in by fear Ordered for the rest of my life Condemned in a jail cell Ain't seen life in years Escape is the only way out Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me My sanity is all but gone My patience is growing very weak I need to get a hold of my self I stare at the wall For the right time has come Escape must occur on this night Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me Stand in my way And I`ll run you straight through There no one to stop me now For I on the loose And I`m ready to start Torture and hell in this town Over The Wall!!! The search will not stop And hounds will not rest Till I am back in my cell For if I am caught, I`ll try it again Over the wall I`ll go, I`ll go!!!

Wrong or right Who's to say I wanna know Who made you God today Slave to the ways of the system Soon to be crucified I've seen into your darkest fears The ones you cannot hide I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world "Forgive me for so many lies" ? Is there a need to pretend To be a man, so divine And even if I offended you My truth you can't deny I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world "Forgive me for so many lies" ? |

Trapped in a nightmare
Prisoners of warfare Days gone become years Of suffering ... Fight on but what's to gain ? Misfortune leads to pain ... Fearless they won't die Caged in they ask why Cry out but don't cry In agony ... Live on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony In silent suffering It's never ending They pray to end their Misery ... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony Missing in action Never forgotten America the mighty Set them free ... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony |

Take a look, what do you see
Image in the mirror Yesterday is yesterday You'll meet your marker I know that time grows old Can't stop the seasons Shifting sands slip through your hands Time is gone before it's begun... (CHORUS:) Die A little more A little more for every day Lord why Oh tell me why Do the seasons slowly grey? Days of blue just turn to grey The picture slowly aging Nothing left to the memory Death will not forsake them God fearing people say They are not afraid of dying So why do they turn to faith When faith has no meaning in life? Time worn, worn time Say goodbye to yesterday After life, life after It's all the same The golden years bring out the pain Death rolls in like the seasons change You've lost all hope but still you pray Aging eyes that fail to see The mirror has been shattered Death's knocking on their door A vision filled with laughter I know that time grows old Can't stop the seasons And as the end draws near The story's over before it's begun...

Take a look away Think about the things you say The day awaits your soul in chains Ya got to make it today Or there will be hell to pay And there is no other way Look at how you're living now Life can always bring you down The cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... Every day's the same Can you still feel the pain You lose your mind then go insane I can't talk to you You can't tell me what to do What I need is up to you Look at how you're living now Life can always bring me down The cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far, always near, lose your mind Gripping you with...fear... What's done is done... Hey, slave, take it to the grave Walk in someone else's shoes That's the path you paved Live, die, take off that disguise Find your own reflection now In the pool it lies Now you know the score You can't take this hell anymore You feel like you never did before Go and find the way You're closer to it everyday Yes, this is the price you pay And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far, always near, lose your mind Gripping you with fear...

Troubled dreams
Of a wandering nomad Damned to be all by myself I travelled far Following bright stars Through the endless desert sands Starring off into the sky Down on Myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go Leave me be Why must I please them When I can't even please myself Deep in thoughts But I still feel so Lost in endless despair Starring off into the sky Down on myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go As you soon realize The nights so black I feel blind Should I keep wandering on On and on and on There's just one thing you should know No I can't take it no more Two wrongs don't make it right Right or wrong I can't take it And in the end you will find Find me a peace of mind Forever lost Severing my thoughts From the dream I must seek Time to end This aggravation The nomad spirit lives in me [Chorus] |
