A thick-legged woman ain’t never getting lovin’ from me Cocktail in her hand, whoring ‘round until she’s slurring her speech She whines “it isn’t my fault, I had too much to drink, But I’ll give myself up to the first guy I see” That’s why a thick-legged woman ain’t never getting lovin’ from me Hey, and another thing… Bringing home the bacon while she’s lying in my bed Won’t give it up cause she says that there’s an ache in her head Don’t bother getting work girl, I’ll cover you instead But you best not act entitled saying “Listen what I’ve said” While I’m bringing home the bacon and you’re bitching from my bed Hey, and another thing… Long-legged beauty dressing classy and looking so fit Leanin’ ‘gainst the bar acting like she’s gonna give what she gets Turning all the heads with her mini-skirt slit But someone somewhere is sick of her shit I said a long legged beauty like her don’t impress me one bit Hey, and another thing…

I ask you boys to listen close For these next words concern you both Your mother birthed a foul kin But you are nowhere near like him Your brother is a heathen hound The king of death, he can be crowned So here it is, my proposition To save your souls and find redemption Oh yes Find your brother, end his reign Or bring him here and let him hang I’ll spare the younger one from death So you both can walk free of this mess For God has damned this awful place And everyone in the human race He offered us a proposition I know he knew we’d never listen Oh yes, what fresh hell is this A dead man’s land in the Devil’s fist Oh yes, what fresh hell is this A dead man’s land devoid of bliss There is a happy land Far, far away Where saints in glory stand Bright, bright as day Oh how they sweetly sing Glory to the savior king Loud let his praises ring Praise, praise for aye There is a happy land far, far away There is a happy land far, far away

She moves just like water flows, flowing seamless And she wades waist deep through the world She moves me; she schools me I hang on each word Like a breath, who’s this beautiful girl? And she lies in wait while I hide my distaste For all others who try to break through ‘Cause she knows that I know that she’s one of a kind She’s a killer, the one who broke through She’s got Seoul She’s got Seoul Her smile is the reason the world changes seasons The wet from the fresh morning dew Her eyes bear no sadness, her mind wears no madness Her life carries nothing to prove While I sit and I watch and I wait for this woman To see me and know what I dream Oh I think through the time how I’d fit in her life And it makes all my impatience scream She’s got Seoul She’s got Seoul Does she even know my name? I don’t want to know She’s got Seoul She’s got Seoul

The Watcher 04:44
Get under the bed They’re coming up the stairs You will be found You hear the turning key You feel them underneath You will be found Get under the bed, they’re coming up the stairs You will be found, you will be found They want you to believe and they whisper in your ear You will be found, you will be found But when they come, I will be waiting Yes, when they come, I will be waiting These dogs can hear you breath, these beasts can taste your fear You will be found, you will be found The dark I cannot see, only gnashing of their teeth You will be found, you will be found But when they come, I will be waiting Yes, when they come, I will be waiting here Waiting for you Like I swore to Never needing, longing, reaching Way too long, way too long I’ll wait here Waiting for you Like I swore to Never needing, longing, reaching For way too long, way too long I will wait for you

Out here in the desert that woman comes to me She tells me that I should sign in blood and it sets me free Oh out here in the moonlit sky, that woman drinks to my soul And what was once so beautiful has now become so cold She waits, she waits, she waits, she waits by the water hole She burns, she burns, she burns, she burns through the deep dark reaches of my twisted soul Out in the desert, man, she’ll take you for one hell of a ride She may be the Devil’s angel but that bitch, she is my bride Oh, how lonely life has become for me out here I have the taste of the blood that stains the steel of my guns I bite the flesh of the broken body that lies there frozen in fear And I dance in the night to the beat of that goddamn Devil’s drums, oh God She waits, she waits, she waits, she waits by the water hole She burns, she burns, she burns, she burns through the deep dark reaches of my twisted soul Out in the desert, man, she’ll take you for one hell of a ride She may be the Devil’s angel but that bitch, she is my bride A burning light shines bright before me A cunning man there appears in red He hands me the golden phone of God and The word of our dear Lord is said “Rise up from the ashes, son And go forth to the screams In the shadow of the valley of death It just ain’t what it seems” So I rose from the desert floor and I Broke loose of her chains So with both hands I raised my gun And I let loose her brains, oh God She waits, she waits, she waits, she waits by the water hole….

Tell me, baby girl, why you're leaving so soon? Is it something we can fix or try to work through? Your body reeled me in just like cocaine And you hung me out to die while you're laughing in my face Why'd I let you in? You were my unicorn, the unobtainable I gave you all I had to give but I still wasn't able To let you go and to pull you in If hell is where I'd get to you then Goddamn I'd start to sin I was your Romeo We wreaked havoc on the throne But you forced me to let you go So just pack your shit and leave me here alone All alone All alone So just pack your shit and leave me here alone And you were beautiful, but you fooled the rest I hope you wear that scarlet letter across your cheating, lying chest You might think I'm cynical, but baby it's the truth You may think you're on top of life but baby life is through with you I was your Romeo We wreaked havoc on the throne But you forced me to let you go So just pack your shit and leave me here alone All alone All alone So just pack your shit and leave me here alone I said I loved you, baby girl, but I only loved your "used to be" I hate the woman you became that consumed every part of what was left of me Though I hope you know that life is coming back a hundred-million fold Your friends and all your family will forget you out there in the cold And I hope this re-plays in your mind over and over and over again So when you look at my face, baby, you'll see what isn't could've been I was your Romeo We wreaked havoc on the throne But you forced me to let you go So just pack your shit and leave me here alone

Symmetry 04:26
Say again, your words were lost in that last transmission And no one hears you; your purpose here is wearing thin And not for nothing but since when did you have boundaries The line has been broken before but you; you’ve made it a mockery The feeling we’ve all felt before, it tingles the skin and arms the defenses You’re nothing, but something has exposed your pretenses You lied and they listened They wanted symmetry This world has believed you This world has been deceived That’s why I say blow it all to hell, let the pieces fall wherever they may fall Cause if it were up to me, the puzzle would never be put back together at all There must have been some kind of miscommunication when The lies that you told turned around on you and you lied down in bed with them The will to survive in you left long ago but still you stand there hopelessly fighting Our leader, you’re something, your world to us now means nothing You lied and they listened They wanted symmetry This world has believed you This world has been deceived That’s why I say blow it all to hell, let the pieces fall wherever they may fall Cause if it were up to me, the puzzle would never be put back together at all No, never at all Our holy father, your will is frightening Our newest martyr, your noose is tightening They gave you everything All they wanted was a little give and receive All they wanted was symmetry Just a little symmetry But you took their “everything” And you left them with nothing And still they loved you, loved you, loved you

Every now and then the pure they call upon us For the Cleansing I gave my better half for all that was meant The passion for my girl was stolen by A smoking gun Although I still look back at times Her kiss wont shake what the hell I’ve done I gave up my girl for a smokin’ gun Because I’m Heaven sent Hell bent that’s what I wanna be Ill low-crawl through this shit That’s what’s become of me My body may be scarred but there’s a smile on her face When staring back at me So sleep calmly in bed And peaceful at night On your behalf I’ll take the violence For you little girl I’ll end the fight Been called a devil I don’t give a damn Your little angel sees just what the hell I am
9.
The Finale 03:25
Look at me and tell me you see happiness The overwhelming feeling of vast emptiness Find a way to safely pull me out of this And fire away Look outside and tell me just how safe you think it is I see your face you still seem cold and so emotionless You’re not with me but you’re not my antithesis So fire away Everyone and everything Take for granted all they see Everyone will lose control, control Fire your gun at the sky See the crowd on the ground And if I’m still alive The bullet missed me on the way back down Give me a chance and I’ll take you down Into the end of everything
10.
I woke to find that you’d abandoned me and every little thing you could dream For you the grass was always greener, from the crop you’re always taking the cream And you run for cover I’ll tower over all I’ll suck the comfort from your scene, yeah I hope he’s everything I never was and never hoped that I could be In time he’ll see that you’re a woman who can never possibly be pleased While you run for cover I’ll tower over all And I’ll suck the comfort from your scene You can’t take the fire away from me You can’t take the fire away So fire away So climax and climb the social ladder, and continue sleeping your way through Burn down the bulk of all your bridges until everyone is through with you While you run for cover I’ll tower over all And I’ll suck the comfort from your scene You can’t take the fire away from me You can’t take the fire away So fire away
11.
This is the time when the battle is raging The front lines of war have spread out to our homes Our leaders have pushed us like dirt in the corner And apathy gets you a grave marked “unknown” This is the soundtrack of violence Our fears will burn them from the thrones We can’t shake this burden of silence It’s time they fear the barking of the drones “Signs of the times” so they say to the masses Turn in your freedom for total control It’s not the way we were founded It’s not the way we should go Stand up and point yourselves at them Stand fast lest your blood start to flow This is the soundtrack of violence Our fears will burn them from the thrones We can’t shake this burden of silence It’s time they fear the barking of the drones It’s a social agenda, you must be complacent Umbilical cords running straight through your cage Stand down, they preach from the pulpit Just do, don’t question your faith Reach in and hold to your iron Show them that we don’t need their waste This is the soundtrack of violence Our fears will burn them from the thrones We can’t shake this burden of silence It’s time they fear the barking of the drones
