Guarded Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight Why does it sound like the devil is laughing Leaving me haunted tonightYou did decide
Now I want you, when you're gone, and now it's like You're holding something just in front of me Well then, I can't allow this to become another One of those times that I'm left in the cold, dead There's no compromise Just another tie I know I need to sever
Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight Why does it sound like the devil is laughing Leaving me haunted tonight You did decide
Ever haunted, by the trappings of this life Sweet redemption, just in front of me Well now, it seems once again that I've lost another One of the one's that have broke through the wall Damned Fate won't compromise I have sold my soul, And now the devil's laughing You did decide
You were bold and strong, and ready to begin your life All for nothing, you were sacrificed You began alone, and so it will be when you die All for nothing, will you be remembered? You did decide
Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight So now you know why the devil is laughing He left you with nothing tonight You did decide
Deify
[Woman's Voice:] That's what I believe got him re-elected, is the people knew that you could believe what he says. [George Bush:] Our Country is strong, we go forward to defend freedom, and all that is good and just in our world.
All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid I was too blinded to see How much you've stolen from me
You want to know why I feel so horrified? I've let my innocence die You want to know why I can't be pacified? You made me bury something I won't be sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made Now I've been labeled a renegade It seems so clear now what I must do You're no immortal I won't let them Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented man
You want to know why it seems the passion's died? We've all been living this lie You want to know why my will's been fortified? You've made me hunger again Good luck sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made Now I've been labeled a renegade It seems so clear now what I must do You're no immortal I won't let them Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented man

I'm Alive
Never again will I be dishonored And never again will I be reminded Of living within the world of the jaded They kill inspiration It's my obligation To never again, allow this to happen Where do I begin? The choices are endless Denying the sin My art, my redemption I carry the torch of my fathers before me
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself, I'd rather die Though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice You can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive
Change again, cannot be considered I rage again, dispelling my anger Where do I begin? The choices are endless My art, my redemption, my only salvation I carry the gift that I have been blessed with My soul is adrift in oceans of madness Repairing the rift that you have created I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself, I'd rather die Though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice You can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive
I'm no slave Are you feeling brave? Or have you gone out of your mind? No more games It won't feel the same If I hold my anger inside There's no meaning My soul is bleeding I've had enough of your kind One suggestion, use your discretion Before you label me blind
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself, I'd rather die Though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice You can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive
Sons of Plunder Tell me you like it Tell me you like it
You say you've found
yourself a new sound The shit's loaded and ready to go A bit too
much just like the old sound Already heard it for the hundredth time One
hundred more, all have the same sound (
http://alllyr.ru/text15358.html ) Running around with all the sheep
that you know "It's so sublime, they're breaking new ground" "They're
sure to have another hit this time"
Come on Can't you just
leave it alone? It doesn't have any soul Just find a thing of your
own And stop pretending to know
As the countless
numbers hunger for worldwide renown All the pimping sons of plunder
will roll up their sleeves All searching for the answers they don't
even care to know Give it to me Give it to me You like it?
I'm
still surrounded by the "new sound" I've had enough and I'm ready to
go A strangle-hold throughout the world now The new obsession
will fade in time A thin reminder of the past now All convoluted
hardly ready to go Their whines and moans will never last now I
think you've given us our fill this time
Come on Can't you
just leave it alone? It doesn't have any soul Just find a thing of
your own And stop pretending to know
As the countless
numbers hunger for worldwide renown
All the pimping sons of plunder
will roll up their sleeves
All searching for the answers they don't
even care to know
Give it to me
Give it to me
You like it?
As
it's blown apart, hundreds thrown away Makes me question just what I
believe Brothers torn apart, mindless drones enslaved Makes me
search for an answer I don't want to know It's like a plague from
below Killing all that I know One hundred voices the same Drench
their sorrow in flame
As the countless numbers hunger for
worldwide renown All the pimping sons of plunder will roll up their
sleeves All searching for the answers they don't even care to know Give
it to me Give it to me As the countless numbers hunger for
worldwide renown All the pimping sons of plunder will roll up their
sleeves All searching for the answers they don't even care to know Give
it to me Give it to me You like it? Tell me you like it Tell
me you like it Tell me you like it Tell me you like it
Overburdened
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line I may never know for certain When will be my time How was I considered evil? Pleasures taken in this life Someone granted me reprieval Decades spent in strife
Led to nothing Repeated in my mind Led to nothing If only I was born another time
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign?
It's the closing of the curtain In the play that was my life Countless chapters left unopened Tragedies inside I was fighting for a reason Holy blessed homicide Seems I have committed treason All I've sacrificed
Led to nothing Repeated in my mind Led to nothing If only I was born another time
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How I have been so determined malign? Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How I have been so determined malign?
Fate is so unkind Now I should have known Blind leading the blind Reaping what I've sown If it all amounts to nothing Why, then, am I standing in this line?
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How I have been so determined malign? Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How I have been so determined malign?
Decadence
Say, yes they know that you fought yourself another time Don't they know that you're full of pain already? Yes they know that you've hurt yourself another time Decadence isn't easy, is it? Yes they know that you've hurt yourself another time Don't they know that you're full of pain already? Yes they know that you've hurt yourself another time Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Then you slowly recall all your mind Why, your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry Dead inside Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely Slowly recall all your mind

Land of Confusion
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a
million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving
into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the
danger has gone away But I can see the fire's still alight They're
burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making
too many problems And there's not much love to go around Can't
you see this is a land of confusion? This is the world we live in And
these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To
make it a place worth living in Oh, superman, where are you now? When
everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, these men of
power Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is
the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to
go around Tell me why this is a land of confusion This is the
world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and
let's start trying To make it a place worth living in I
remember long ago When the sun was shining And all the stars were
bright all through the night In the wake of this madness, as I held
you tight So long ago... I won't be coming home tonight My
generation will put it right We're not just making promises That
we know we'll never keep There's too many men, too many people Making
too many problems And there's not much love to go round Can't you
see this is a land of confusion? Now, this is the world we live
in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start
trying To make it a place worth fighting for This is the world
we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's
start showing Just where our lives are going to
Sacred Lie
My conviction is stronger today As I fight to uncover your
sacred lie And the fear isn't going away As the soldiers still die Let
your followers know that their lives have been sold For the good of
your sacred lie For the truth to be told And the plan to unfold We
must start asking why Don't you know the war is far from over now What
a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die
defending no one The war is far from over now Liberation, a
moral charade For the cause is a part of your sacred lie Damnation
a moment away in all the world's eyes It's the doom of us all We
give in to control for the sake of your sacred lie Complications
abound You'll get used to the sound of alarms in your life Don't
you know the war is far from over now What a stumbling block we've
fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is
far from over now Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime A
moment of peace in our lifetime Give us a moment of peace in our
lifetime A moment of peace in our lifetime Give us a moment of
peace in our lifetime A moment of peace in our lifetime Give us a
moment of peace in our lifetime A moment of peace right NOW! Don't
you know the war is far from over now What a stumbling block we've
fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is
far from over now Don't you know the war is far from over now What
a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die
defending no one The war is far from over now Pain Redefined
Fading, falling, lost in forever Will I find a way to keep
it together? Am I strong enough to last through the weather In the
hurricane of my life? Can it be a conscious decision That I look
for ways to alter my vision? Am I speeding towards another collision In
the alleyways of my life? Memories don't lie You know better
than Memories don't lie You know better than Memories don't lie You
know better than Those who have fallen in That memories don't lie You
know better than Memories don't lie You know better than Memories
don't lie You know better than Those who have fallen in Please
believe me That my eyes deceive me Don't stand me up Just
leave me I have fallen again This is the end Pain redefined Shaking,
burning up with the fever In the realm of pain, I am the deceiver Now
I lie to myself, so I can believe her As she disassembles my life I
cannot dispel the illusion All my hopes and dreams are drowned by
confusion Can I find a way to make a solution That will
reconfigure my life? Memories don't lie You know better than Memories
don't lie You know better than Memories don't lie You know
better than Those who have fallen in Memories don't lie You
know better than Memories don't lie You know better than Memories
don't lie You know better than Those who have fallen in Please
believe me That my ears deceive me Don't stand me up Just
leave me I have fallen again This is the end Pain redefined And
I know that stillness shatters We have all been frightened by the Sound
of footsteps on the pavement of our lives I stand and fight I'm
not afraid to die Elochai, bury me tonight Please believe me That
the world deceives me Don't stand me up Just leave me I have
fallen again This is the end Pain redefined Avarice
Politics and people All one and the same Satan hides
behind a different name Take these chains away Free my hands
from bondage Can’t explain a way Avarice will kill you in time Violent
upheaval Cities drenched in flame Wickedness we know we can
contain Take these chains away Free my hands from bondage Can’t
explain a way Avarice will kill you in time Who will we murder
now? See what we are becoming An onyx veil that filters out the
light I'll saver this anger My hate makes me stronger Free
my hands from bondage Take these chains away Running from
destruction Avarice will kill you in time
