Practice What You Preach
|
|
You think your life's so grad You don't believe a word you say Your feet aren't on the ground You let your life just slip away Just so uncertain of your body and your soul The promises you make, your mind so blank And then you lose control, then you lose control! I never was the one, the one to say the things you say Never seem to wonder what you say You think you've got your life completely in control You've got a lot to learn, the bridge you burn Is gonna take its toll!!! Pay the appropriate toll!!! So practice what you preach! Practice what you preach! Preach! Practice what you preach! Practice what you preach! Preach! Practice what you preach! You think your life's so grad You don't believe a word you say Your feet aren't on the ground You let your life just slip away Just so uncertain of your body and your soul The promises you make, your mind so blank And then you lose control, then you lose control! Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach So practice what you preach! Preach! Practice what you preach! Practice what you preach! Preach! |

Perilous Nation
|
|
Bold is the one who dares to say what he feels Renegation man, to one he yields The bleeding hearts and empty minds, hiding words they fear Blind is the one who censors what we see and hear Come into my world and take a journey with me Paint me a portrait now, of the things you see Men are poor and lost in war of ideology No solution will prevail unless we can be Free on anger, free of pain Free of hatred that we obtain Tell me what this place was meant to be Can you see? Can you see what it does to me? Can you hear? Can you red? Can you see what it did to me! Totalitarians in a Perilous Nation Forcing through control turns, to desolation Listen to the leader speak, he's your only friend Take a stand in the motherland, take it to the end Say now what you will, before they make it illegal Time to draw the line, between the bad and the evil Distant times had friendly rules, became its deadliest foe We have heard it all before, the morals come and go Men are poor and lost in war of ideology No solution will prevail unless we can be Free on anger, free of pain Free of hatred that we obtain Tell me what this place was meant to be Free on anger, free of pain Free of hatred that we obtain Tell me what this place was meant to be Can you see? Can you see what it does to me? Can you hear? Can you red? Can you see what it did to me, can you hear? Can you read? Can you see what it did to me Can you hear? Can you read? Can you see what it did to me... |

Envy Life
|
|
In regards to the nature used with pacts of magic Spirits from the vastly deep Respond the calls from their broken silence. Make sure you reach does not exceed your grasp All that is to be done before you act In a pact of invoking spirits from the past Have you lost your mind? The dark souls of time Ending life! Ending life! They see you calling out their names and getting ready Chant in darkness shrouding near Through your virtued youth they'll strike a deal What's to obtain if no pain no gain But to sell your soul you must be insane Wrote your name in blood and then they came You're as good as dead The lost souls of time Envy life! Envy life! Life!!! Have you lost your mind? The dark souls of time Ending life! You're as good as dead The lost souls of time Envy life! Come on down to the house of pain You hear them calling Shouting out their names in vain. Envy life! In regards to the nature used with pacts of magic Spirits from the vastly deep Respond the calls from their broken silence. Make sure you reach does not exceed your grasp All that is to be done before you act In a pact of invoking spirits from the past You're as good as dead The lost souls of time Envy life! Envy life! Envy life! Envy life! |

Time Is Coming
|
|
Yeah! The way I feel, seems to me to be so real So sick and tired you know just how I feel Cops they dress in black, they bid their lives The bribes they stack, so sick and tired Of the same old this and that The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I don't know, that's the way that it makes me feel! The man I most resent You might know him through the government He'll tax our lives the money's spent He's just the president!!! The land of liberty for all mankind and all to see What's the use, laws a conspiracy The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I don't know, that's the way that it makes me feel! Searching for answers to make life complete No need to search for more questions There for you to see! The wars that we must fight You dodge the draft before you drive So sick and tired, why can't they realise The rights they sympathise So sick and tried, why can't we live our lives The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I don't know, that's the way that it makes me feel! |

Blessed in Contempt
|
|
All that can escape me, all I realise That it will come back to me the day my father dies. His burning eyes would stare at you I was born a masochist I cried out in pain, as he clenches up his fist Slowly as the years go by, the darkness builds inside Trying to find a passage out, before I lose my mind Incestuous temptation but what is wrong or right Why must I fall victim of hereditary spite? Soon! We will arise, forming despise Conceptual intempt! Blessed in contempt! Thoughts have now come back to me It's time to perpetrate Take me to my sanity, before it gets too late Hear me as I call to you, right here down below Resurrect my will to live, come before I... go! Soon! We will arise, forming despise Conceptual intempt! Blessed in contempt! |

Greenhouse Effect
|
|
Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe So the world we know is dying slow in South America Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground Time is running low, we can't stay no more Wealth these people see, fight for eternity Lies they televise paid by their government There on! It's lingers on And they don't even care in they... Seal the Planet's fate Crimes they perpetrate Wasting precious land It's time to take a stand Our only hope to breathe again To stop the madness closing in What will we do when all is lost? Environmental holocaust... repeat Foes, these people go, someone destroyed their home Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees Laws protect the land, social justice in demand Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere Now it's time to see a cycle of a tragedy On! It lingers on, and they don't even care if they Seal the Planet's fate Crimes they perpetrate Wasting precious land It's time to take a stand Our only hope to breathe again To stop the madness closing in What will we do when all is lost? Environmental holocaust... repeat |

Sins of Omission
|
|
The day's vanished in the night, soon the children pray Pray themselves alone, the hate build from their pride You can't take away, can't take what they own! The eyes watching from the sky, guides them through the haze Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night Oh let them pray! False sense of pride, satisfies There's no reason for suicide Use your mind, and hope to find Find the meaning of existence... The cry's answers wonder why, why it's time to die Time to die alone, cause I'm wasting too much time Wandering down the line reason why I go my own! False sense of pride, satisfies There's no reason for suicide Use your mind, and hope to find Find the meaning of existence... |

The Ballad
|
|
I'm not one to say Where my feelings are going when they wither away I pray to see another day My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay Restrained to meet again My friend do you think that we ever will I know we are free... The games are played with your life on the line Some lose, you win if you keep on trying I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being alive Now I know the means to my opression were all lies The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I've ever learned I know we are free... Yeah, Don't go, No, Don't look back, Just realize I've been robbed, I've been fooled I intent now to make my own rules Dagger's edge cut the life, I've been down that road too many times What's to fear, fear no more, Show my conscience what fear's for Now I know this is so real What's done is done so do as you will! I'm keeping alive! Go on, no don't look back Just realise where you've gone. Where are you going to, no life's not done wit you You're only just begun, to live your life, for you... |

Nightmare (Coming Back to You)
|
|
You wanted money, you wanted fame, You broke the rules before you know the game Bounds tearing you up like a knife Wis it was the end of your life, it's a nightmare Going down that road on account of you No escape from the things you put me through I don't know, I don't care, I can't go anywhere, It's a nightmare coming back to you! Don't wanna die, just wanna live! I've got stop taking what they give So many roads moving all around I only see the one going down it's a nightmare Going down the road on account of you No escape from the things you put me through I don't know, I don't care, I can't go anywhere it's a nightmare Coming back to you! We got to fight, we got to try When all is gone we'll know the reason why To kill the enemy we will win the wars To find the place our life was before, it's a nightmare Going down that road on account of you No escape from the things you put me through I don't know, I don't care, I can't go anywhere It's a nightmare coming back to you!... to you!... to you!... |
