Trashed And Scattered

Keep on writing you're just raping yourself
(nothing can take my mind away from them)
Don't you ask about me, ask 'bout somebody else
(Once I've fallen there's many stories to tell)
I can feel it, won't embrace it, it's overwhelming how far you take it
(Stuck in a state of questioning)
And don't you tell me you know we're destined, you won't convince me, I won't listen
(Resentment building, you've put our lives on hold)

Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
My destination always unknown, I'll find my way there
But you Goddamn Motherfuckers always wasting my time

I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control

Play your game and walk away, your integrity don't mean shit
Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out

Label me, that's fine, I'll be somebody else
(Nothing in front of me but holes ahead)
Lie about my life, have a story to tell
(Lights went down, was on the edge and I fell)
Oh you're so insightful, let me remind you to twist and break me, should make you worried
(Long way to go and you're right there)
Two-faced liar, don't try and know me, deceit brings fire, makes sure you can't breathe
(Pick at pieces of my body below)

I never bothered with all the rumors, too much garbage
(All the same)
I'll stand right here, come on you falsehood deceitful liar
(I know my destination - there's no shame)
Don't ever take my side, I know you're never right, I'll justify the means
(Nothing's what it seems)
I'll stand around and fight, but there's no point tonight, been chained to this machine

Trashed and scattered again, I'm feelin' so low
You waste your breath while fuckin' with me, my blood is so cold
My destination's always unknown, I'll find my way there
but Goddamn Imposter are you out of your mind?

I walk down these roads alone and now you're seen here
My feelings that I'm having towards you are perfectly clear (I control this ride)
My devils appetite is tonight and now I'm alright
But you Goddamn Motherfuckers always wasting my time

Play your game and walk away, your integrity don't mean shit
Crawl on me you fucking parasite, and I'm gonna take you out

I won't be the victim, but the first to cast a stone
Sedated nights to the bar room fights as metropolis takes its toll
And don't you try to stop me, it's a place you'll never know
Don't try to judge or take shots at me, I'll never let you seize control

Don't try and get the best of me
(No one can help but your own self)
City makes my body ache
(Lonely, don't try and prey on me)
I feel your world keep dying, (Don't try and get the best of me)
(No one can help but your own self)
No more use in tryin' (City makes my body ache)
(Lonely, don't try and prey on me)

And my body's trashed and low, but to you I'll never show myself or what's inside
And I've seen it all before but I'll settle the score, I'll never join your side

Beast and the Harlot

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy burden makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy burden makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The day has come for all us sinners.
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.

I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

[x2:]
She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy burden makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

Seize the Day

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ’til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don’t wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see
I beg don’t leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don’t wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [then continues in the background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

Sidewinder

I slide through the wasteland that's my world 
My hunger takes your life, preyed on to keep me alive, yeah 
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty in me 

Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning 
and clear through the night 
You can feel my strength destroy you straight 
to the heart from the venomous bite 

That's right I shed my skin tonight but my fangs are hard to hide 
And you know that you're going to die, yeah 
Mercy's all that you need, mercy's empty to me 

Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning 
and clear through the night 
You can feel my strength destroy you straight 
to the heart from the venomous bite 

I can't regret, can't escape decisions made for me, no control 
Fire that buns and never dies, 
wrapped around I'll bury my fangs inside 

Making my way through the night you're still in my sight 
You're runnin' away cause ya know you can't hide 
My instincts are cold blooded hate; to you I'm the bearer of fate 
Wrong place and now the wrong time, 
now terror is all that you'll find 

Can't you feel the poison rising straight to the heart 
from the venomous bite 

Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning 
and clear through the night 
You can feel my strength destroy you straight 
to the heart from the venomous bite 

I can't regret, can't escape decisions made for me, no control 
Fire that buns and never dies, 
wrapped around I'll bury my fangs inside 

Stay inside tonight - you're out there all alone 
Vanish from my sites - venomous control 
You can't make it right - my appetite has grown 
Lost your final fight - no love will be shown 

BLINDED IN CHAINS

And we're at it again, 
I turn around another fucking war, man 
I don't know where to begin, 
but I'll start with the radical leaders 
Their steps we're followin' 

Running, don't go back and fight, 
too many you'll lose 
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood 
between the red and white and blue but it's too 
deep for you to see and 
Everyone eventually will take the step 
cause it's in sight you take the left 
I'll take the right I fell the hate you've built 
For me and I say pay attention baby) 

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see 
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease 

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot 
How to speak how to ask all the questions 

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose 
(I see another side in you but there's not much more 
I can do from on the outside looking 
in your government is listenin' to 
Push you on the story of immortal father mortal son 
give them your mind 
and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself) 
If they had it their way 
I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster can't you see 
Don't give them all the power when your future's 
in desperate trouble baby 

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see 
Like a plague fed to the brain, deadly disease 
I'd run away tonight with my mind 
still intact you gotta make it alright 
Easier said than done with no place to hide 
and having no place to (run) 
Running away from condition, 
I see you but you're running away from 
Your scared seductive system 

Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy
to predict these things 
Every color has its side, 
they live together vote and most won't read between these lines 
Please help us, please save us of coarse 
they have control we're all the same 
Up on the cross, 
crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot 
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end 
I'm sure they'll understand 
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed 
As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold your mind,
body and soul 
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
I see you're living for tomorrow 
but decisions you have made will leave you empty 

You've fallen asleep in denial 
Look at the way we're dyin' 
How it ends I'll never know 
Just live your life blind like me 

M I A

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise. 
Living another day in disguise. 
These feelings cant be right, 
lend me your courage to stand up and fight, on tonight. 

Ooooo.... 
Stand up and fight. 

Now fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong. 
I'll walk your land but don't be long, 
two million soldiers cant be wrong. 

Its no fun but I've been here before. 
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war. 
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things) 
Some are scared others killing for fun, 
I shot a mother in front of her son. 
(Change this from my consciousness and please erase my dreams) 

Fight for honor, fight for your life. 
Pray to god that our side is right. 
You know we won but still we lose, 
until I make it home to you. 
I see your mother still in tears we grew up 
so fast where did those years go. 
Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight. 

So many soldiers on the other side, 
I take their live so they can't take mine. 
(Scared to make it out alive now murders all I know.) 
Nobody tells me all the reasons were here, 
I am a weapon so there's nothing to fear. 
(Another day another life but nothing real to show for.) 

Fight for honor, fight for your life. 
Pray to god that our side is right. 
You know we won but still we lose, 
until I make it home to you. 
I see your mother still in tears we grew up 
so fast where did those years go. 
Memories wont let you cry unless I don't return tonight. 

Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun will never rise. 
Living another day in disguise. 
These feelings cant be right, 
lend me your courage to stand up and fight. 

Watching the death toll rise wondering how I'm alive. 
Strangers blood on my hands, showed all I can. 
There were no sunny nights watching your brothers all die
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me. 
(No thought of me) 
No thought of me. 

Ohhhhh..... 

We'll walk the city lonely, memories that are not passing by. 
A murderer walks your streets tonight. 
Forgive me for my crimes. 
Don't forget that I was so young, but so scared. 
In the name of God and Country.
