Through My Eyes
02:11
|

Armed and loaded, it's a new day
I planned for weeks behind these walls, locked away
I feel the goading, time is today
a burning rage, I'm packing heat, or so they say
If you could see this world through my eyes
would there still be this savage crime?
If you could feel the dark damage inside
there'd be no question why
Well, you've had your shots, now I'll take mine
Step up and take your place in the firing line
I'm sure in hindsight, they'll see the signs
a focused energy no one could stop in time
If you could see this world through my eyes
would there still be this savage crime?
If you could feel the dark damage inside
there'd be no question why
If you could see this world through my eyes
would there still be this savage crime?
If you could feel the dark damage inside
there'd be no question why

Blood Dance

You know my girl, we like to dance - with razors sewn into our pants
we'll bash until we draw the blood - that's when the music's good
Blood Dance - Come and feel the pain
Blood Dance - You'll never be the same
We're looking for some good, clean fun - with a little pain and lots of blood
there's nothing to see, so move along - we're just dancing to our favorite song
Blood Dance - Come and feel the pain
Blood Dance - You'll never be the same
if you love me, you'll cut yourself for me (Blood Dance)
Bleed
It don't count til your covered in red, we do it for the devil in our head
some may think we're quite insane, but we may never have this much fun again
Blood Dance - Come and feel the pain
Blood Dance - You'll never be the same

Burning Sun

Washed in the blood of humankind
hey grab your gun and don't fall behind
the death toll rises with the burning sun
living life behind the barrel of a gun
as we slowly die, we cover our eyes
seeking shelter from the obstinate light
seek into the ground, we don't make a sound
close your eyes and hold your breath tight
Washed in the blood of another human
are you paranoid - is that a gun in your hand?
trapped underneath the glowing red skies
covered in ants and tortured by flies
as we slowly die, we cover our eyes
seeking shelter from the obstinate light
seek into the ground, we don't make a sound
close your eyes and hold your breath tight
washed in the blood of your family and friends
crawling through a tunnel, can you make it to the end
the rats are gnawing at your bleeding feet
you choke on the smoke of the burning feces
as we slowly die, we cover our eyes
seeking shelter from the obstinate light
seek into the ground, we don't make a sound
close your eyes and hold your breath tight

Rabid Children
03:23
|
|||
|
They roam the streets after dark
Their eyes are deep, black and stark
Play with their pets, the sewer rats
Some call them demons, some call them brats
If you see them, whatever you do
Don’t you dare let them see you
If you’re alone out on that darkened street
They’ll bash your head and eat the meat!
Rabid children out on the prowl
Rabid children hear them howl
Rabid children out with the trash
Now they’re looking for some heads to bash
They roam in packs, in the sewer lines
Sleep in the day, feed in the night
White as a ghost, sickly pale
Some say they’re orphans, some say they’re from hell
If they should catch you, out all alone
nowhere to run in the danger zone
Take comfort knowing you’re feeding the pack
While the kiddies hack hack hack
Rabid children out on the prowl
Rabid children hear them howl
Rabid children out with the trash
Now they’re looking for some heads to bash
Rabid children out on the prowl
Rabid children hear them howl
Rabid children out with the trash
Now they’re looking for some heads

Run Away
02:21
|
|||
|
I see them salivating for my brain
with their good news about the end of days
take this blunt lie straight to the head
You'll see a light, and then be born again
Run away to some place far away
Run-away, Run-away
They're warning me to get right with him
forever suffer an eternal torment
they want release from their discontent
but I ain't taking this walk with them
Run away to some place far away
Run-away, Run-away
Come and join us, eat the flesh, cleanse the sin from within
Come and join us, drink the blood, and the dead shall walk again
It won't be long, they can sense the end
armageddon, the apocalypse
They see it coming, not too far ahead
Christ and his army of the walking dead
Run away to some place far away
Run-away, Run-away
Run away to some place far away
Run-away, Run-away

Total Depravity
01:57
|
|||
|
true desires of body and mind
children of evil, all of mankind
passions of flesh, disobey
to the darkness you are a slave
turn up the heat, make it burn
stop at no return
into the dark with me
total depravity
madness lives in the heart of man
from birth until they go to the dead
unclean thoughts of an impure mind
all is black when your eyes are blind
turn up the heat, make it burn
stop at no return
into the dark with me
total depravity
follow the prince of the power of air
corrupted hearts, full of despair
transmitted from original sin
we rot away from within
turn up the heat, make it burn
stop at no return
into the dark with me
total depravity

Killer
02:57
|
|||
|
it all started on on the second day of 1972
he said "I thought you were gonna kill me, so I had to kill you"
you can run, try to hide
you can run all night
first victim of the killer clown, stabbed and tucked away
33 murdered dead, stuffed in the crawl space
you can run, try to hide
you can run all night
run, hide
you can run, all night
you'll never get away
one victim down, he found himself totally drained from the kill
that's when he realized death is the ultimate thrill
you can run, try to hide
you can run all night
run, hide
you can run, all night

Alone
02:30
|
|||
|
As I march ahead - in time with the dead
into the great unknown - alone on my own
as my skin grows old
so goddamn cold
deep within a combat zone
you can't call this home
boots covered in mud - scarred flesh, dried blood
time keeps marching on - after your last breath is drawn
as my skin grows old
so goddamn cold
deep within a combat zone
you can't call this home
as my skin grows old - alone
so goddamn cold - alone
deep within a combat zone - alone
you can't call this home - alone
