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

Insomnia
I'm running in quicksand
Something's haunting me
The guilty past I've buried
My mind won't let me sleep

I'll do anything for peace
I keep waking up
A solemn oath I make
Cross my heart please, let me sleep
I keep waking up
How much more do I take

My head is talking to me
I don't know what it needs
But the loudest voice
Is the one I heed

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights
I can't sleep, insomnia

I'm twisting and turning
I keep waking up
The madness I must tame
My candle is burning
I keep waking up
Both ends again today

The whole house is creaking
I know they're out there
The things kept from sight
I beg to the shadows
I can't sleep

Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream

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

Almost Honest
I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew

Just can't believe it
There's nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost

Living alone, can't stand this place
It's four in the morning
And I still see your face

I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I'd bleed for you

We were kind of candid
Now you've gone away
You were almost honest, almost

Living alone falling from grace
I want to atone
But there's just empty space

I can't face tomorrow
Now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night
And just left me the tracks

I question your call
By the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up
But I don't have a choice

It happened that night
When you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame
I don't know

Almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
