Hunting up and under, one way or another
He finally found the book that he needs
Covered in dust & bound in human leather
He cracks the spine, the book bleeds
The candles are lit, the goat tied on the altar
Craving for his power; it peaks
He raises the book & recites the words they must heed
Once the blood hit the altar, the contract for his soul was signed
Now he walks on forever: the man who left the world behind
Thinking his devotion would earn him a promotion
And turn him to immortal king
He gathered up for Satan his hatred and disdain
Blind to what this transaction would bring
He gushed at the lord’s presence and offered his hand for entrance
Into the sacred domain
The devil just laughed and he fed on him as the man starts to drain
Now he lives in the nothing, caught between space and time
And he walks there forever: the man who left the world behind
Left behind, the man who left the world behind
Left behind, he’s just about to lose his mind
Now his story is legend, reminds us all to mind our minds
And he walks on forever: the man who left the world behind

Second Chances
04:01
|

Girl how have you been? You sure are looking fine
We should go and have us a real good time
Second chances for you to leave our love behind
Second chances to sin
Second chances to lie
Second chance to come in
Second chances to say goodbye
Girl I see you're intrigued, your lip is fully perspired
And I'm clean but I can still set you on fire
Second chances to taint your deepest desires
Second chances to sin
Second chances to lie
Second chance to come in
Second chances to say goodbye
Wait don't walk away ‘cause I've got more to say
Would you take what we had and just cast it away?
And if not, do you think your sister could be swayed?
Second chances to sin
Second chances to lie
Second chance to come in
Second chances to say goodbye

Bloodshed
03:01
|
|||
|
Look at mankind through the windows of time
Intrusively hustling to be civilized
But watch what occurs with a difference of view
And you’ll see your brother drop some bloodshed on you
It’s Bloodshed we can’t seem to leave behind
Why is Bloodshed how man is defined?
Age after age defined by who’s fighting whom
To conquer and take, to assume and consume
Men employed merely to fight and to kill
To defend their belief of what is truly god’s will
It’s Bloodshed we can’t seem to leave behind
Why is Bloodshed how man is defined?
Hour after hour, day after day, we reach for the sky
It grabs our heels and pulls us down
Bloodshed
I sit and look out on the landscape of time
And contemplate on those who’ve fallen and died
And those who’ve survived only to suffer and cry
In all that we learned, yet we still can’t deny
It’s Bloodshed we can’t seem to leave behind
Why is Bloodshed how man is defined?

Warpath
03:59

I'm on the warpath, I'm coming on after you
There's not a thing that you can do
Until my dying breath, I shall pursue
I'm on the warpath and my target's your sick life
There is no chance that you'll survive
I will hunt you down, to your demise
I'm on the warpath and my blood runs cold
There’s anger building and it's taking hold
I've got the feeling like I've lost control of my soul
You gone and crossed me, the great fatal mistake
And it will take you to your grave
It’s the last mistake you'll ever make
And when I find you, I’ll flush you out like a rat
And launch my crazy eyed attack
And you'll pray you could take it all back
I'm on the warpath and my blood runs cold
There’s anger building and it's taking hold
I've got the feeling like I've lost control of my soul

I Slew the Beast
02:16
|
|||
|
When I was young, the elders looked upon me
and they called me the chosen one
Then one day I grabbed the Sword of Cirrus
and reduce the beast to dust
Let all join to the table as we feast upon its skull
I slew the beast, I killed him and I killed him dead
I slew the beast, I thrust the magic sword right through his head
Now it's dead and gone, the village is free
The evil's no more and it's all thanks to me
I slew the beast
Then that tale we'll pass along forever
Of that stand 'neath the noonday sun
We met with eyes and lightening struck inside me
I said, "Beast, your time has come"
Then I raised my sword high and just as god bequeathed
I slew the beast, I killed him and I killed him dead
I slew the beast, I thrust that magic sword right through his head
Now it's dead and gone and the village is free
The evil's no more and it's all thanks to me
I slew the beast

Fool's Bitch
03:57
|

|
You saw me coming from across the land, I should’ve known you’re no good
But you shook that ass and I lost it fast like any man would
Is that you sitting high in an ivory tower on the backs of fools like me
I guess I should thank up to the stars above that you cut me free
Cut down with your icy breath and the venom right through my heart
’Til I woke up broke and naked in a ditch
Fool’s Bitch
Fool’s Bitch
Fool’s Bitch
I swear someday these roles will switch
Now I need to know how you live with yourself, even if you do
That you could shit so hard on someone else, yes hell is waiting for you
As for me I just need to get back to myself and shove the shame back down
Where it will stew into an anger so vile should I see you around
You appeared like a mythical nymph and shot an arrow through my heart
At the stroke of midnight you turned into a witch
Fool’s Bitch
Fool’s Bitch
Fool’s Bitch
Now I stand naked in the mist

Hellbound
03:43
|
|||
|
I’m crawling; muscles straining
I can feel that my life is draining
I’m down but I’m reaching up
I cry out but I’m breaking up
I reach down to my haunted soul
It gets me back to my feet, I gotta go, go, go
A dark shadow’s hanging over me
I’m running for my life
And the wrongs I have done
Nothing’s gonna save me
I’m Hellbound
Up ahead there’s a clearing
I can see the shining moon appearing
Stepping high, high meadow weeds
I’m gonna make it, I shall be free
From under the brush small hands grab my feet
And I’m reminded that I am dead meat
The hands surround around me and drag me underground
I’m running for my life
And the wrongs I have done
Nothing’s gonna save me
I’m Hellbound
When you take your chances you know you take your chances too
Tho you take your stances you’ll find your chances will take you
I’m running for my life
And the wrongs I have done
Nothing’s gonna save me
I’m Hellbound
Underground there’s a secret crypt
Where matter starts to bend & drip
I stand up and find myself alone
From just below I hear the poor earth moan
Then up thru the floor: a black smoky mist
No where else to run, Could this be it?
I can feel evil coldly seeping in my soul
I’m running for my life
And the wrongs I have done
Nothing’s gonna save me
I’m Hellbound

Shitstorm
02:39
|

|
Who left me all these papers?
Who dropped this shit and ran?
The deadline's noon tomorrow
That man is not a man
You gotta believe the world will catch you if you fall
Not to drop it all, into a
I’m irritated
I'm inundated
I’m so mad that I cannot see
My soul is melting
And no one's helping
Who went and dropped this shitstorm onto me
Who locked the file room door?
Then ran of with the key?
Who spilled this pot of coffee?
Ate the last chocolate cream?
I'm trying to hold it down but I'm cracking at the seams
Of my broken dreams, inside this....
I’m irritated
I'm inundated
I’m so mad that I cannot see
My soul is melting
And no one's helping
Who went and dropped this shitstorm onto me
What are we doing in this world?
And how many forms do we really need?
And why should I kill myself for someone's scheme- schemes of greed?
I'll cut my losses
And fuck my bosses
I'll move somewhere overseas
I'll change my name and...
Try and start again and…
Nobody's gonna pin this onto me
Who dropped this shitstorm onto me?
Shitstorm!

That Girl
02:45
|
|||
|
From the abyss of Hades where she was getting bored
A bratty spoiled daughter of our most darkest lord
And with her ancient magic and so many mortal fools
Melts them to shattered junkies, she laughs and watch their doom
She’s evil: That Girl
Her playground, our world
Your heart has been hurled
Have you seen that girl?
He’s hanging off a barstool downing another shot
He’s never asked for nothing, now what the hell’s he got?
She walks out of the bathroom, he shutters shake and moan
Sees such an easy target, her fingers start to fold
She’s evil: That Girl
Her playground, our world
Your heart has been hurled
Have you seen that girl?
They’re still search for that girl
Her father watching from below and he sees
All the hate that she unfurls
A tear of pride drops from his eye on to me
And they’re still searching for that girl
But they’re never going to find her

Run For Your Life
03:57
|

|
I’ve got this demon in my soul
I know I’ll never get out alive
I pour a drink, I pack a bowl
Can’t keep that demon satisfied
I stumble to bar, I stagger ‘round this fucking place
I find the bathroom line, I find the lines are in my face
I hear the voices in my head, they scream to me…
Run for your life!
Run for your life
God is only rolling the dice you better run for your life
Run for your life!
Run for your life
Mankind is paying the price you better run for your life
I’ll have another, just one more
My brain is swimming in the sound
Feed the demon, make him roar
And blurry smiles are all around
I can’t keep doing this, the words and sounds aren’t making sense
But I’ll have another another, please, and these will bring me to my knees
So have a drink with me and see the demon scream in me
Run for your life!
Run for your life
God is only rolling the dice you better run for your life
Run for your life!
Run for your life
Mankind is paying the price you better run for your life
Spinning, Falling, Drowning
I’m sinking down, down, down
And when I look at you I see you’ve got the demon too
We’ll buy another round and toast our demons shining through
So have a drink with me and set your demon free
Run for your life!
Run for your life
God is only rolling the dice you better run for your life
Run for your life!
Run for your life
Mankind is paying the price you better run for your life

Witch Doctor
04:40
|
|||
|
I met him in his shanty hut
I’ve an infection he must cut
The spell that made my brains turn mad
For the little demon I can’t have
You have to take my memory, so I can save my soul
Witch Doctor, shoot the serum of the devil through me
Witch Doctor, I beg you won’t you set my mind free
Witch Doctor, Erase the ghost that’s haunting my dreams
Maybe she’ll hear only my screams and she’ll know I’m alive
He boiled a potion into gas
I swear he was only wearing grass
The fumes were filled with screams and cries
He blew that shit straight in my eyes
If I could open up my eyes then maybe I could see
Witch Doctor, shoot the serum of the devil through me
Witch Doctor, I beg you won’t you set my mind free
Witch Doctor, Erase the ghost that’s haunting my dreams
Maybe she’ll hear only my screams and she’ll know I’m alive
Spinning in my mind, I’m spinning and I can’t remind myself
Of something that seems right on the tip of my tongue
There’s evil all around
And an iron hand is dragging me down
I woke up strapped into a chair
Under some lab coats sardonic stares
The witch doctor has fixed me well
By banishing my soul to hell
The only thing that keeps me sane is hidden in my mind
Witch Doctor, shoot the serum of the devil through me
Witch Doctor, I beg you won’t you set my mind free
Witch Doctor, Erase the ghost that’s haunting my dreams
Maybe she’ll hear only my screams and she’ll know I’m alive

Escalator to Hell

I ride the escalator to hell
There is no bottom I can tell
As she wakes and she’s already started to yell
Woman: You make me weary and I believe I’m going down
I’m sinking further into black
She broke my credit past its ma
I’m gonna send you away woman, back to your side of the tracks
Woman: You make me weary and I believe I’m going down
I ride the escalator to hell
Fighting to break free from your spell
I’m gonna hand you your fare-thee-well
Woman: You make me weary
You deceived me
Now you must heed me
That’s why I feel I’m going down
