Time: The Beginning
Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time, creeps up behind
I can't run forever and time waits for no one
Not even me

An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger

Use The Man
I heard somebody fixed today
There was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the things he won't get done

I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
To the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but it's fatal
It's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man

Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders
Why the monkey only lies
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose

I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle use the man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
To the gutter on their hands

They fight a war but it's fatal
It's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle
Seen the needle in his hand

Cryptic writing on the wall
The beginning of the end
I've seen myself use the needle
Seen the needle in my hand

The Conjuring
Welcome to out sanguinary sect of worship
Feel at home in our black conventicle
As we anathematize
All of those who oppose us

Don't summon the devil
Don't call the priests
If you need the strength
The conjuring obey!!!

Behold the flames rise
From the compass' cardinal points
Burn the sacred oil
And with the ashes you'll anoint

Arrange the symbols
Of the wizard and magician
Light the candles
Place the parchment paper in position

Between its leaves place
The lash from a black cat's eye
A straw of a broom
Fold and burn and centralize

I am the devil's advocate
A salesman if you will
You know my name

I met your father years ago
Gave him what he'd please
He called my name
You'll do the same

I'm claiming what is mine by right
It's time to close the deal
You're bought and sold

Come join me in my infernal depths
Mephisto's hall of fame
I've got your soul
The conjuring obey!!!

In My Darkest Hour
In my hour of need
You're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of
You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better
When I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand
Knowing you I'm probably wrong

But how I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls
As I breathe your name

All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who?

I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far away

Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you
Alone - so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain

Won't you hold me again
You just laughed - ha, bitch

My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come
When all things shall pass
This good thing passed away
In my darkest hour

Sweating Bullets
Hello me... meet the real me
And my misfits way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession

Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story... tell it to Reader's Digest!

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
And my air is getting thin

I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit
And my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets

Hello me... it's me again
You can subdue but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Thinking down to your level

Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations

Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been

I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the axe
And my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets

Well, me... it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its black tooth grin

If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again

Once you committed me
Now you've acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity

I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets

Symphony Of Destruction
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads have roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
Have warring for the heavens
Have peaceful man stands tall

Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand

Fools like me who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium
As the know it all scholar
Down in my seat of Judgment
Gavel's bang uphold the law

Up on my soapbox a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than thou could be messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die

They killed my wife and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake!
Paid by the alliance to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in with judicial granite
Because I don't say it
Don't mean I ain't thinking it
Next thing you know
They'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said
Now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings

Moto Psycho
Responsibility, an anchor around my neck
Dependability made me a nervous wreck
Accountability, I live from check to check
Volatility, neglect and no respect

Got my wheels in motion
And I got a path to beat
I hit the road to I don't know
And look for Tough Shit Street

One way ticket nowhere
There's no windows on this train
Can't see where I'm headed
But I'm going there again

Moto psycho going nowhere everybody
Is a moto psycho move it or lose it baby
Going nowhere 100 miles an hour
Moto psycho, I'm a moto psycho

You know you can't resist
To tell me what I mean
You gave my mind a twist
Said that I was unclean

The actor runs the play
And ad-libs in between
You're all that I resent
My thoughts were so obscene

Where I'm headed I don't know
But I'm shoving off and I hit the road
Going nowhere everybody is a moto psycho
Time and time and time again I'm a moto psycho

Dread And The Fugitive Mind
Let me introduce myself
I'm a social disease
I've come for your wealth
Leave you on your knees

No time for feeling sorry
I got here on my own
I won't ask for mercy
I choose to walk alone

What's yours is mine
And what's mine is mine too
If you shake my hand
Better count your fingers

What if I do get caught?
What if there is no judgment?
If I'm right I lose nothing
If you're right I lose it all

I ought to get caught because
I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty haunted by my fear
And the only consequences
Are dread and the fugitive mind

You built walls to protect
You so no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there
That vanish in thin air

Come a long way to find
What you really left behind
You don't know when the end is
But it's coming fast

Promises
Two hearts that shouldn't
Talk to each other become close
In a town much like a prison cell
People speak our names
On the street in hushed tones
Oh, the stories they'd tell
If anyone would listen

You come from a town where
People don't bother saying hello
Unless somebody's born or dies
And I come from a place where they
Drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you

There's so many fighting
To get past the Pearly Gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved
Their intentions aren't that good
And I can smell the asphalt
That's their personal road to hell being paved

The World Needs A Hero
An Iron fist quietly sits inside the Velvet Glove
Take control untouchable just like God above
I can't escape wrapped in red tape
What will become of me?
If I object then I defect my country it is of thee

The White House is calling
Tell them I'll call them back
Just tell them anything
Yeah get them off my back
The world needs a hero

Not that I would ever lie
But I have no choice
Words I say heard today
Are not mine just my voice

N.A.T.O. is on line one
They want to talk to me
Tell them that I'm not in
Tell them that I'm not free
The world needs a hero

Phantom rule - the hidden jewel
Who's really in control?
On puppet strings - a nation swings
Undermined by moles

The U.N. is on hold
Tell them I'll call them back
Yeah, tell them anything
Just get them off my back
The world needs a hero

Dave the White House is calling
They want to talk to me
Tell them that I can't be bought
Tell them that I'm not free
The world needs a hero

Burning Bridges
You give up on yourself
Somehow you got betrayed again
Thin ice and luck runs out
Who will you blame it on this time?

Due to lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Was turned off
And something I noticed
Beating you is thrilling me
I've got a secret for you

If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn't be burning bridges all the time

Don't close your eyes to injustice
Listen being brave ain't chicken shit
A man without any valor
Has nothing worth living for

Return To Hangar
Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed
Computers crashed and they all fall down

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

All the guilty paid the price
Suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story
When foreign life forms resurrect
And military intelligence is
Still two words that can't make sense
