Be Quick or Be Dead
|
|
Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt Making you money from slime and from filth Parading your bellies in ivory towers Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers You got to wacth them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head... Be quick Or be dead Be quick Or be dead See... what's rulling all our lives See... who pulling the strings... I bet you won't fall on your face Your belly will hold you in place The serpent is crawling inside of your ear He says must vote for what you whant to hear Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind. Be quick Or be dead Be quick Or be dead |

From Here to Eternity
|
|
She fell in love with his greasy machine She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean She'd never seen the beast before But she left there wanting more more more But when she was walking on down the road She heard a sound that made her heart explode He whispered to her to get on the back "I'll take you on ride from here to eternity" Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity She must be having one of her crazy dreams She'd never sat on a piece so mean It vvmade her feel like's she's on cloud nine She even thought she heard the engine sign But like all dreams that come to an end They took a tumble at the devil's bend The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind They'd always take the line... from here to eternity Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity |

Afraid to Shoot Strangers
|
|
Lying away at night I wipe the sweat from my brow But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead The desert send mound a burial ground When it comes to the time Are we partners in crime? When it comes to the time We'll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what's to be done Thy Kingdom come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should live and let live Forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way? The reign of terror cvorruption must end And we know deep down there's no other way No trust, no rveasoning, no more to say Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers |

Fear Is the Key
|
|
We live our lives in fever In chooking sweat of fear In the heart of the night you can feel so much In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch" I remember a time when we used and abused And we fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heart of the night... bodies aflame We live in fever... I hear your secret heartbeat I can hear your silent cries The kids have lost their freedom And nobodey cares till somebodey famous dies... I remember a time when we used and abused And we fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heart of the night... bodies aflame Now we live, in a world of uncertanity Fear is the key - to what you whant to be You don't get a say the majority gets it's way You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die |

Childhood's End
|
|
I'd sail across the ocean I'd walk a hundred miles If I could make it to the end Oh just to see a smile You see it in their faces The saddness in their tears The despereation and the anger Madness and the fear No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here Starvation and the hunger The suffering and the pain The agonies of all-out war When will it come again? The struggle for the power A tyrant tries again Just what the hell is going on? When will it ever end? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here You see the full moon float You wach the red sun rise We take this things for granted But somewhere someone's dying Contaminated waters Pollution and decay Just waiting for disease to strike Oh will we learn someday? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, no seed, childhoods end |

Wasting Love
|
|
Maybe one day I'll be an honest man Up till now I'm doing the best I can Long roads, long days, of sunrise, to sunset Sunrise to sunset Dream on brother, while you can Dream on sister, I hope you will find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Spend your days full of emptiness Spend your years full of loneliness Wasting love, in a desperate caress Rolling shadows of night Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand In your eyes I see the hunger, And the desperate cry that tears the night |

The Fugitive
|
|
On a cold October morning As frost lay on the ground Waiting to make my move I made no sound Waiting for the mist to cover all around I carefully picked my time then took the wall I'm sick and tired of running The hunger and the pain A stop to look about then off again Being at the wrong place And at the wrong time Suspected of a hit that was my crime I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name Always looking 'round me Forever looking back I'll always be a target for attack Every morning onwards Always on the run Waiting for a sivght of a loaded gun I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name Even if I find them And get to clear my name I know that things can never be the same But if I ever prove My innocence some day I've got to get them all to make them pay I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name |

Chains of Misery
|
|
There's a madman in the corner of your eye He likes to pry into your sunlight He wants to burst into the street with you and I A world of shadows and of rain He's seen what love is He wants to pay you back with guilt He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery There's prophet in the gutter in the street He says "You're damned!", and you believe him He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes A world of hatred and fear He's felt what love means He wants to pay you back with pain He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery It's only love that holds the key to our hearts... only love He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your chains of misery He be still till he's turned your key He holds your chains of misery |

The Apparition
|
|
Now I'm here can you see me 'Cos I'm out on my own When the room goes cold tell me you can feel me ..........'cos I'm here Here I am, can you see me Passing through, on my way To a place I'd been to only in my dreams... before In a world of delusion Never turn your back on a friend 'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand ..........through life There are those that deceive you There are those That'll let you down Is there someone out there that would die for you ..........thought not Live your life with a passion Everything you do, do well You only get out of life what you put in ..........so they say In a world of confusion People never say that what they mean If you want a straight answer go look for one ..........right now In a room full of strangers Do you stand with your back to the wall Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside ..........looking in? You can make your own luck You create your destiny I believe you have the power if you want to ..........it's true You can do what you want to If you try a little bit harder A little bit of faith goes a long way ..........it does Are we here for a reason? I'd like to know just what you think It would be nice to know what happened when we die ..........wouldn't it? There are some who are wise There are some who are born naive I believe that there are some that must have lived before ..........don't you? As for me, well I'm thinking You gotta keep an open mind But I hope that my life's not an open and shut case. Extra Sensory Perception Life After Death, telepathy Can the soul live on and travel through space and time? You know I feel so clated 'Cause I'm about to find it out And when I know all the answers Maybe then I'll come back ..........to feel you in You don't be alarmed now If I try to contact you If things go missing or get moved around... it's me And don't disbelieve it No matter what your 'friends' might say We'll meet up again some place some way ..........one day |

Judas Be My Guide
|
|
Lights out - We live in a world of darkness No doubt - Everything's up for sale We sleep - All of the world is burning We pray - To god for better deal Nothing is sacred - Bak then or now Everything's wasted Is that all there is? Can I go now? Judas my guide Whisperes in the night Judas my guide Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory Come home - Meat in a plastic sack Fall down - Better pray to your god for mercy So kneel - and help the blade cut clean Nothing is sacred - Back then or now Everyone's wasted Is that all there is? Is that it now? I live in the black I have no guiding light I'm whispering in your dreams Judas my guide Whisperes in the night Judas my guide |

Weekend Warrior
|
|
The rebel of yesterday, tommorow's fool Who are you kidding being that cool? Trying to break away from running with the pack But they ain't listening so you've gotta go back You're a weekend warrior when you're one of the crowd But it's over, just look at you now You're not so brave the way you behave It makes you sick, gotta get out quick It's all bravado when you're out with your mates It's like a different person goes through those gates And the game begins, the adrenalin's high Feel the tension maybe someone will die A weekend warrior lately A weekend warrior sometimes A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore You've gotta get out gotta get away But you're in with a cligue it's not easy to stray You've gotta admit you're just living a lie It didn't take long to workout why It's hard to say why you got involved Just waiting to be part, just waiting to belong A weekend warrior lately A weekend warrior sometimes A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore Some of the things that you've done you feel so ashamed After all it's only a game, isn't it? And after all the adrenalin's gone What you gonna do on monday? A weekend warrior lately A weekend warrior sometimes A weekend warrior maybe you were never like that at all |

Fear of the Dark
|
|
I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklores The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone |
