I waited and watched as you fell asleep The taste of your skin still alive on my tongue I saw in your face a timeless expression Of life and of love and of all things undone And I said Your sleeping mind Your sleeping mind Then I fell alseep as I cradled your body Your warmth slowly spreading, our breathing in rhythm Then I drifted away to the back of my mind Where my thoughts wandered aimless in juxtaposition And I said Your sleeping mind Your sleeping mind Everything is safe and okay when I'm with you Then suddenly walls started falling apart and I lost amidst all the chaos So I tried to awake from that terrible dream but fell into a fit that I could not recover from I'm lost in this nightmare So very lost But I'm with you forever And I'll love you forever Your sleeping mind Your sleeping mind Your sleeping mind Your sleeping mind

Bless Me 04:28
Oh baby control yourself This couldn't be any harder Just pretend that you're somebody else And let me feed on your fodder Oh don't you know what you do to me? Don't act so naive little girl Pussycat you're a wicked tease You bless me with that body Let me taste your glistening skin I don't think you could be any hotter I think I've got you all figured out, baby Just south of the border We've got to burn, burn, burn Burn this mother to the ground We've got to burn, burn, burn We've got to burn it all down When I say faster, faster, faster Pussycat, we're gonna kill, kill, kill We're gonna kill them all

She is the love that scorns She is my crown of thorns And I am not a man A puppet in her hand It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things I will not let her in She will surely win It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things It's sadomasochistic how she runs my life on strings She's a marionette with an all-star cast of inanimate things She is the love that scorns She is my crown of thorns

I can't explain the fury that I feel when I meet them Dead beneath the weight of their war And what's really messed up is I can do nothing for them So I clean their blood, I clean their blood up off of the floor And I shout some loud And every time I hear those passages spoken In a room full of sorrow and tears I have a million words in my mind that I choke on But futile are my words upon their ignorant ears Shout some... And every night in bed as I try to evade them Their faces always ask me to try To look beyond the death and the hate and the mayhem And try to keep the damage I feel on the inside So I shout some loud...

There is nowhere left to go but down Your blood will spill on this sacred ground The choice is your to walk away Your lives will end if you choose to stay I want no more of this Bloodshed's worn our souls so thin You'll pay the price for the life of sin Stand and fight and I'll seal your fate Go and live it's never too late I want no more of this There is nowhere left to go but down Blood will spill on this sacred ground Stand and fight and I'll seal your fate Go and live it's never too late I want no more of this Lay your arms down You've come for a fight You and I we can make it through the night But if I call my captain will come And to you he will say Either lay down your weapons tonight Or your lives we will take

I'll take a look all around me My eyes wander up to the sky And I see a world far below me The reflection of life in my eyes The spectrum of light glowing softly For those who lack sight only feel My loved ones collapse in a frenzy Proving my terror is real And it scares me It scares me My brother is broken and bloody My father lies cold on the floor My sister is laughing insanely My mother screams out "Please no more" And it scares me It scares me It goes on and on and on and on By the water that eve, the sun that shines on me and you And I'm eager to please for the faces we both knew All these trials and these struggles we've been through By the power of what we knew in stormy days and nights all alone And from my point of view you've never felt so like home All these trials and these struggles we've come to know
7.
Now this is a story all too appalling About our brothers in arms who have fallen Their story is laden with controversy And this is the side that nobody wants you to see To give us a good life, these warriors they put up a fight They risk and they take life while you sleep at night But they have no illusions of coming home to a parade No their only hope is that none of them died there in vain Run and hide then you criticize Turn your back and walk away Forget how they lived and exploit how they died That's the price when you play in this game But I'm not gonna say that you're not thankful for all the blood that we shed for you Yeah, for you

Hey, you're mine now! I came into this world, with fire in my hand I fed the demon child which made me understand Said to him "Feel my burn, my cankered mind to speak My broken promise bleed and it will all add to your greed" Said to him "Feel my burn, my cankered mind to speak My broken promise bleed and it will all add to your greed" But it's all your own head I'm feelin' broken down, I'm feeling broken down and dead Hey, you're mine now! Well she came into this world, with her broken heart in her hand Said to the inner saint, which made her understand She said to me "Feel my fire, my spiritual light you seek" Intense and over drawn and it will all add to her greed She said to me "Feel my fire, my spiritual light you seek" Intense and over drawn and it will all add to her greed But it's all in your own head I'm feelin' broken down, I am feelin' broken down and dead Hey, you're mine now I'm feelin' broken down and dead

Blackened 04:00
Have you ever seen the surface of the sun Its blackened skin cuts you right down to the bone It feeds off the fear that breathes out from your lungs And drips dry your blood 'til you literally come undone Black light sunset is here So tell me the story about how all life will disappear Every night the same dream I am sitting on the surface of That which is left of the place that I once called home I'm sitting, waiting, wanting the world I love To save me from this hell I have come to know as... Black light sunset is here And his judgment rains down And our lives will slowly disappear So tell me the story about how all life will disappear Tell me the story about how all life will disappear Every night the same thing Sitting on the surface of the sun Every night the same dream Waiting for the end of the world to come

Born Again 05:48
I watched my friend's life slip away Just the other day I held on his hand as he screamed out in pain He looked at me and said "some things must go this way" So I got on my knees and I started to pray I took another man's life, just the other day I was on a mission and that man got in my way I know that I will see so many better days But for him I cannot say the same Well you ask me if I ever killed a man I tell you "yes, and I'll probably kill again" Because I'm born again Go, my brother Be in peace Leave the spoils Of war at your feet

A.C.S. 12:05
I saw it coming And only time could tell I made the perfect home Couldn't be more far from hell If it were up to me You'd see pure white for eternity But opposition spread like a virus And destroyed everything I loved I'm gonna bring it down I'm gonna bring it I'm gonna bring it down I'm gonna bring it I'm gonna bring it down I watched it killing Could see it spilling pain On children of our families Our minds are choking This black death raping all the Women of supremecy I'm gonna bring it down I'm gonna bring it down I'm gonna bring it We will preserve what's right And to the death we'll fight Cause on the right hand of God We stand united as the Dogs of War See it it saturate the people With its concentrated evil Funny how they'll bleed for a dime But this curse it never works It feeds on child and wife Death never cycles life I'm gonna bring it, bring it Bring it down I'm gonna bring it, bring it Bring it down I'm gonna bring it, bring it Bring it down I'm gonna bring it, bring it Bring it down I'm gonna bring it down
