The Pusher
Cum on boy you gotta taste it grab a bite of the good life
Now ain't it grand, the serpent said
You're not addicted just for trying don’t be lame just this one time
Cum on get that buzz in your head
-carpe fuckin' diem, seize the day
shoving that poisonous shit straight up your veins
He's the pusher, alias the serpent of hell
He's the pusher, selling death to kids with a smile on his face
You know I've lost a lot of good friends goin' down that trail
Yeah down that dirty road
The only places you will end up in are hell or in jail
Better do what you've been told
-carpe fuckin diem, seize the day
shoving that poisonous shit straight up your veins
He's the pusher, alias the serpent of hell
He's the pusher, selling death to kids with a smile on his face
He's the pusher, the biggest threat to the human race
He's the pusher, turning death into business throwin' lives to waste
and from his corner he can see you gettin' high
it'll only take one mistake then it's goodbye
-carpe fuckin diem, seize the day
shoving that poisonous shit straight up your veins
He's the pusher, alias the serpent of hell
He's the pusher, selling death to kids with a smile on his face
He's the pusher, the biggest threat to the human race
He's the pusher, turning death into business throwin' lives to waste

In pitch black darkness

In pitch black darkness
For as long as I remember
I've been living with eyes wide shut
I've come to surrender
I spat out all my gut
I filled my bag to the very edge
With all the things I couldn't face
When it finaly came to burst
It changed me in so many ways
In pitch black darkness - There's where I found my soul
In pitch black darkness
Pulled the sword from the stone
With ease I might add
Let it cut through flesh and bone
I'm sorry but I had to dad
I shut my ears to your poisonous words
I shut my eyes to your polluting lies
I finally slayed my demon and bane
and out of the ashes I rise
In pitch black darkness - There's where I found my soul
In pitch black darkness
In pitch black darkness - There's where I found my soul
In pitch black darkness - When the devil in him took control
In pitch black darkness - There's where I found my soul
In pitch black darkness

Dues to pay

Dues to pay.
We've been given the gift we call living
Some will fall, some will rise and some will stumble
Wrongful deeds ever done won´t be forgiven
Some will lose, some will win and some will crumble
No matter how you do, it's all up to you
if you make it through
No matter what you lose, no matter what you gain
as long as you can handle the pain.
What a dance, what a dance to remember
What a dance, what a dance to forget
Come hell or high water
Come sunshine, come rain
Come hell or high water
Come whatever may
We all got dues to pay...
In the shades of life
we all hide our secrets hidden from the light of the day
Gathered through a life of ups and downs
we suppress and hide them away
No matter how we do, it's all up to you
if we make it through
No matter what we lose, no matter what we gain
as long as we can handle the pain.
What a dance, what a dance to remember
What a dance, what a dance to forget
Come hell or high water
Come sunshine, come rain
Come hell or high water
Come whatever may
Come hell or high water
Come sunshine, come rain
Come hell or high water
Come whatever may...

Let sleeping dogs lie
He's the man of the hour
the man with the power
with his pockets filled of gold
He will be able
to fill his table
with knights, both fierce and bold
don't speak of the devil
he's closer than you think
soon you'll be having his drink
He'll offer you his chalice
in return he wants malice
for those who appose his plan
In a world of fear
where he's the engineer
He turns his back
from deceive and lies
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
He`s ready and willing
He's in for the killing
to do whatever he please
For better and worse
he`s the poisonous curse
that got us to our knees
He bought our silence
and crushed defience
with our eyes wide shut
From the heat of his flame
We're playing his game
our futures set to rot
In this world of fear
where he's the engineer
In the shades of grey
he awaits his day
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't be a fire starter
Let's try a little harder
There's a fire within us all
Don't speak of the devil
alone in the night
He might hear your call
He`s ready and willing
He's in for the killing
to do whatever he please
For better and worse
he`s the poisonous curse
that got us to our knees
In this world of fear
where he's the engineer
In the shades of grey
he awaits his day
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Don't you rattle that cage
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Let the sleeping dogs lie
Let the sleeping dogs lie

Boogie of death
04:51

There's a war still raging
on the streets tonight
It's all over the pages
Be prepared to fight
With a burning desire
Let's reclaim the streets
Where there's smoke there's fire...
You can feel the heat
Remember all that was fine
It´s a race against time
Now take back what they stole
...When you can't feel safe
just stand and take control
The war has come to town
and the city's on fire
The war has come to town
There's no way we'll back down
We all feel like drowning
need to come up for air
It's all falling down and
nobody cares
Now what ever happened
to our neighbourhood
I would leave this place
in a second if I could
Remember all that was fine
It´s a race against time
Now take back what they stole
...When you can't feel safe
just stand and take control
The war has come to town
and the city's on fire
The war has come to town
There's no way we'll back down
The war has come to town
and the city's on fire
The war has come to town
There's no way we'll back down...

Losing you
04:56
|
|||
It seems the more we change the more we stay the same
Point our fingers at the ones we'd like to blame
Then collectively we choose to close our eyes
As the world around us crumbles and slowly dies
Now's moment when it's one for all and all for one
Better be quick before that moment's gone
Took a big bite of the good life
We found us standing at the wrong end of the knife
Took a big bite of the good life
Is there anything we wouldn't sacrifice
We're losing you
Black gold, the burden of man will never set us free
A burden that wears us down and we're too blind to see
We can fly faster than day but we can't find the things we need
Still the dogs of war will make their puppets bleed
Now is moment when it's one for all and all for one
Better be quick before that moment's gone
Took a big bite of the good life
We found us standing at the wrong end of the knife
Took a big bite of the good life
Is there anything we wouldn't sacrifice
We're losing you - We're losing you...
Took a big bite of the good life
We found us standing at the wrong end of the knife
Took a big bite of the good life
Is there anything we wouldn't sacrifice
Took a big bite of the good life
We're losing you
Took a big bite of the good life
We're losing you

Going down
05:30

It seems that time has taken it’s toll
and the burden of life wore me down
Questions of life tormenting my soul
the answers made the king lose his crown
I cannot deny
that the harder I try
Slammed right in to the wall
The weight of my shoulders is way too heavy
Ah ah It’s only a matter of choosing
Ah ah It’s just a matter of time ’til it’s all coming down
I’m going down
down - I’m going down
Please somebody give me a sign
I feel my world is crumbling down
My sanity is all on the line
I’m lost and now I wanna be found
Still wondering why
That the harder I try
Slammed right in to the wall
The weight on my shoulders is way to heavy
Ah ah it’s only a matter of choosing
Ah ah it’s just a matter of time ’til it’s all coming down
I’m going down - Now is it hell I'm facing
down - I’m going down - I feel my heart is racing
down - I’m going down - I hear my demons calling
down - I’m going down - Don't know how far I'm falling
Ah ah it’s only a matter of choosing
Ah ah it’s just a matter of time ’til it’s all coming down
I’m going down - Now is it hell I'm facing
down - I’m going down - I feel my heart is racing
down - I’m going down - I hear my demons calling
down - I’m going down - Don't know how far I'm falling
I hear my demons calling me down
My sanity's on the line

The healer

The Healer
I am the healer, I am the dealer of the human soul
I am the liar, the deceiver and I have full control
My beliefs are my shield, my faith is my sword
One day you will kneel before my lord
I say this to you so there is no debate
to follow my lead it's your fate
What goes around comes around
What dies will rise again
What goes around comes around
nothing ever comes to end
I am life, andI offer you a paradise
He is death, he's the keeper of the mother of all lies
If you follow my way, at day as at night
The unfaitfull will see who is right.
If you follow my path it all will emboss
So heads high and carry my cross
What goes around comes around
What dies will rise again
What goes around comes around
nothing ever comes to end
What goes around comes around
What dies will rise again
What goes around comes around
nothing ever comes to end...

Lie to me
04:50

As the mushroom rise towards the sky
A final stage, a final scene
And the dogs of war will howl to the moon
where they long, but never been
This world that we've created
will soon be comin' down
with everything we've hated
and turned upside down
It's the voice of the people
that founds democracy
but the voice of a few
molds reality
Lies, you lie to me
Lies, as blind as I can be
Apartments sold for piles of gold
To ministers and kings in the corridors of power
as they're shaking hands in foreign lands
with a two-faced split personality
This world that they created
will soon be comin' down
with everything we’ve hated
and turned upside down
It’s the voice of the people
that founds democracy
but the voice of a few
molds reality
Lies, you lie to me
Lies, as blind as I can be x2
As the mushroom rise towards the sky
A final stage, a final scene
and the dogs of war will howl to the moon
where they long, but never been
This world that they created
is not for you and me
'cause all is money rated
it's all it's come to be
It's the voice of the people
that founds democracy
but the voice of a few
molds reality
Lies, you lie to me
Lies, as blind as I can be x2

Violator

I darken the sunshine - Polluting poisonous rain
Incurable deceases - An unstopable train
I kill just for pleasure - I'm a true holocaust
My goal's alway's been to able to win
And to kill in the name of a god
I'm the ending of mankind
The pure darkness inside
A nuclear reaction
of what god tries to hide
Violator -Spawned from the demon
The unholy seed
Violator - I am what is called human
The violent breed
Evil by nature - I'm The starter of wars
Once a creator - But now the deadliest force
The dark side's crusader - I am paradise lost
I'm the strongest of spieces - I trash you to pieces
And I'll kill in the name of a god
I'm the ending of mankind
pure darkness inside
A nuclear reaction
Of what god tries to hide
Violator - Spawned from the demon
The unholy seed
Violator - I am what is called human
The violent breed
Violator - Spawned from the demon
The unholy seed
Violator - I am what is called human
The violent breed
I'm the cancer of earth - I' m a deadly decease
Violator - I am what is called human
The violent breed
Violator
Violator
Violator - I am what is called human
The violent breed

Nightmare
05:02

The sun goes down over the city
and you fall asleep
and your dreams begin to leap
Footsteps in the dark
You can see the devil's mark
You are all on your own
You just got the light from the moon
You turn on the light as you’re afraid of the night
It’s just a bad dream boy
So why do you scream boy
It’s just a bad bad dream
The sun goes down over the town
A sound in the backstreets
A sound of running feet
With your back against the wall
the sound’s gonna get ya
You ain’t got a chance at all
You just got the light from the moon
You turn on the light as you’re afraid of the night
It’s just a bad dream boy
So why do you scream boy
It’s just a bad bad dream
The sun goes down over the city
and you fall asleep
and your dreams begin to leap
Footsteps in the dark
You can see the devil's mark
You are all on your own
You just got the light from the moon
You turn on the light as you’re afraid of the night
It’s just a bad dream boy
So why do you scream boy
It’s just a bad bad dream

From town to town
From city to city
Through all the seasons
they got their reasons
Travelling around
They make the city ground
Hot as hell
They’re here to tell
they’re here to wish you well
He said, she said
We’ll pass the word around
from city to city
from town to town
Escape the time
feel the heavy rhyme
It’s all they want of you
It’s all they want you to do
Come high tonight
Let’s board the heavy flight
Let’s rise and fight and fight the good fight
He said, she said
We’ll pass the word around
from city to city
from town to town
Hey, hey, hey
We're back fronm the dead
Hey, hey, hey
We're gonna get in your head
Feel the fire down under
feel the heavy metal thunder
Tonight the city’s gonna burn
tonight the devil’s gonna return
He said, she said
We’ll pass the word around
from city to city
from town to town
Hey, hey, hey
We're back fronm the dead
Hey, hey, hey
We're gonna get in your head
Feel the fire down under
feel the heavy metal thunder
Tonight the city’s gonna burn
tonight the devil’s gonna return
