The Countdown

|
(Verse 1)
You're coming to me to find out
What's happening,
But I don't
Really know.
The wight of the world is coming
And pressuring
Us out of
Control.
They're coming to me to usurp me
From my throne,
What rightfully
Is mine.
We'll fight to protect our families
And our homes.
Tonight it's do
Or die!
(Prechorus)
A sea of dead
Is all that's left.
The houses wrecked,
The flag's in flames.
So raise your fists
And fight with me.
We all die sometime
Anyways.
(Chorus)
So let's make a stand
For something,
And fend off the
Savage hordes.
Let's give our lives
A purpose,
So raise your
Shield and sword.
Brace yourselves,
Cuz this
means
War!
So close the gates
And lock the doors.
Prepare to
Face the storm.
(Verse 2)
The enemy siege is upon us
And battle nears.
There's nowhere
Left to run.
The only thing left to do
Is try to face our fears.
The onslaught
Has begun.
So gather your weapons and prepare
To scream out loud.
The end won't
Come today,
The ravaging pillagers will be put
In the ground.
TONIGHT WE'LL
MAKE THEM PAY!
(Prechorus)
A sea of dead
Is all that's left.
The houses wrecked,
The flag's in flames.
So raise your fists
And fight with me.
We all die sometime
Anyways.
(Chorus)
So let's make a stand
For something,
And fend off the
Savage hordes.
Let's give our lives
A purpose,
So raise your
Shield and sword.
Brace yourselves,
Cuz this
means
War!
So close the gates
And lock the doors.
Prepare to
Face the storm.
(Bridge)
WE'VE COME UNDONE!
And there's nowhere left to run.
4, 3 , 2, 1!
Now the countdown has begun.
WE'VE COME UNDONE!
And there's nowhere left to run.
4, 3 , 2, 1!
Now the countdown has begun.
(Chorus)
So let's make a stand
For something,
And fend off the
Savage hordes.
Let's give our lives
A purpose,
So raise your
Shield and sword.
Brace yourselves,
Cuz this
means
War!
So close the gates
And lock the doors.
Prepare to
Face the storm.

PREPARE TO FACE THE STORM! (4x)

The Hollow Men
05:38
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
We've disregarded
All our beliefs
And shattered hopes,
And left no way to cope.
This had all started
In a dark age
So long ago.
It's the end of our rope.
(Pre-Chorus)
We can save a life,
But we can't save a soul.
It's out of our control.
(Chorus)
When we're lost and can't be found,
And we're all but safe and sound,
We can turn it all around
As we rise up from the ground.
And we'll win this war within
As we find out how to live
In this world that we have bent.
We are the hollow men.
(Verse 2)
Just like a phoenix,
We're forced to rise
From our own ash
And wash away the past.
We're stuck here bleeding,
Our capillaries
Cut in half.
This breath will be our last.
I can't believe it,
These petty plots
All made for laughs.
This ship was made to crash.
We've been mistreated
By those who
Fade our hopes to black
And vicious psychopaths.
(Pre-Chorus)
We can save a life,
But we can't save a soul.
It's out of our control.
(Chorus)
When we're lost and can't be found,
And we're all but safe and sound,
We can turn it all around
As we rise up from the ground.
And we'll win this war within
As we find out how to live
In this world that we have bent.
We are the hollow men.
Some replace love with hate,
Some live a life of crime.
It's time to make a change,
Just go and live your life.
It's the last chance that we'll get,
So let's make the most of it.
United we will stand,
We are the hollow men.
(Bridge)
Let's set this world ablaze
And burn away our crimes,
Then rise up from the flames
And let your dreams take flight.
Forget about what they say,
It's just a matter of time
Before you run away.
Let's set this world ablaze
And burn away our crimes,
Then rise up from the flames
And let your dreams take flight.
Forget about what they say,
It's just a matter of time
Before you run away.
Just go and live your life.
(Chorus)
When we're lost and can't be found,
And we're all but safe and sound,
We can turn it all around
As we rise up from the ground.
And we'll win this war within
As we find out how to live
In this world that we have bent.
We are the hollow men.
Some replace love with hate,
Some live a life of crime.
It's time to make a change,
Just go and live your life.
It's the last chance that we'll get,
So let's make the most of it.
United we will stand,
We are the hollow men.

(Verse 1)
Baby you're looking so fine,
Your're gonna blow my mind
With all the things
That you do.
Leave your emotions behind,
Fulfill your hidden desires,
And let temptation take over
In you.
So close your eyes
And feel the beat as it plays.
Enjoy this moment
Filled with pleasure and pain.
Oh, you've got me baby,
Now love me like you hate me.
She's coming back to my place tonight.
(Prechorus)
She takes my money
And I don't even care.
She's got those heroin lips
And long brown hair.
(Chorus)
It starts with a glance,
A moment or two.
I ask you to dance
As if we both have a clue.
Next thing that I know,
I'm laying with you.
Just take it all in,
There is nothing to seclude.
So as you go down
I can't look away,
And lose myself
In the mess we've made.
I may regret it,
But I don't even care
Because she's got me going crazy
And there's sex in the air!
(Verse 2)
You're such a sweet, shy girl,
But when those clothes unfurl
There's no one else
Who can do what you do.
Baby come rock my world,
You've got my attention for sure
Cuz I can tell you
You're one in a few.
My head is spinning
In the beat as it plays.
Out hearts are pounding
As they're meeting again.
Oh, you've got me baby,
Now love me like you hate me.
She's coming back to my place tonight,
We're gonna make it right.
(Prechorus)
She takes my money
And I don't even care.
She's got those heroin lips
And long black hair.
(Chorus)
It starts with a glance,
A moment or two.
I ask you to dance
As if we both have a clue.
Next thing that I know,
I'm laying with you.
Just take it all in,
There is nothing to seclude.
So as you go down
I can't look away,
And lose myself
In the mess we've made.
I may regret it,
But I don't even care
Because she's got me going crazy
And there's sex in the air!
(Bridge)
Turn down the volume so you hear
The words I whisper in your ear.
Let's make these memories last
For years.
I wanna journey underneath your skin,
And although some call it a sin,
Tonight The Devil is
Our friend.
Down on the floor, up in the bed,
In the chair.
There's nothing in the world
That could ever compare.
I take her heart,
And I don't even care.
She's got those heroin lips
And long blonde hair.
(Chorus)
It starts with a glance,
A moment or two.
I ask you to dance
As if we both have a clue.
Next thing that I know,
I'm laying with you.
Just take it all in,
There is nothing to seclude.
So as you go down
I can't look away,
And lose myself
In the mess we've made.
I may regret it,
But I don't even care
Because she's got me going crazy
And there's sex in the air!
(Outro)
I can't stay sober (4x)

(Verse 1)
Waiting for a boost,
For an insight to show.
As my mind runs loose,
I enter my zone.
Searching for some motivation,
But I don't know what I'll find.
Just wanna make my name,
And leave my failures behind.
(Prechorus)
We all wanna be remembered,
Not just left behind.
But we can't seem to say
What we feel inside.
The time is now,
The time is right.
(Chorus)
Looking for
The reasons.
Looking for
Inspiration.
We all want
Recognition
And to unlock our dreams
From submission.
Looking for
The reasons.
Looking for
Inspiration.
We all want
Recognition
And to unlock our dreams
From submission.
(Verse 2)
Time to chase these visions,
Make this talk become real.
Time to find that emotion
That I'm craving to feel.
Searching for some motivation,
I come across a path
To lead me through this dark,
I'm not the first or the last.
(Prechorus)
We all wanna be remembered,
Not just left behind.
But we can't seem to say
What we feel inside.
The time is now,
The time is right.

Insanity

(Verse 1)
I know exactly
What you've been through.
You're always
Being brought down.
But it seems
You don't have a clue.
Just take
A look around.
I don't think you'll
Like what you see.
The world is a
Crazy place.
So come on,
Just follow me.
I'll make sure
That you're okay.
(Prechorus)
We've all been betrayed,
And I have to say...
(Chorus)
I've never felt this way before,
Now that I've opened all my doors.
And I will fight until the end,
No matter how much pain sinks in.
So take my hand
And follow me.
We can escape
This insanity.
Just you and me.
(Verse 2)
May not exactly
Be what you want,
But I'll be
What you need.
In this world
You won't last long
Caught between poverty
And greed.
(Prechorus)
We've all been betrayed,
And I have to say...
(Chorus)
I've never felt this way before,
Now that I've opened all my doors.
And I will fight until the end,
No matter how much pain sinks in.
So take my hand
And follow me.
We can escape
This insanity.
Just you and me.
(Breakdown)
JUST YOU AND ME! (2x)
(Bridge)
Now lemme see your hands
If you don't know where to begin.
Now lemme see you stand
If your world is drenched in sin.
Now lemme see you fight,
And take control tonight.
Take back your life.
Now is the time.
And I know that it's difficult
To see you as you are.
And I know that your soul
Is covered in your scars.
And I know that it's crazy to
Think that in this world
The things we do have purpose,
Whether boy or girl.
In this world (8x)
(Chorus)
I've never felt this way before,
Now that I've opened all my doors.
And I will fight until the end,
No matter how much pain sinks in.
So take my hand
And follow me.
We can escape
This insanity.
Just you and me.
I've never felt this way before,
Now that I've opened all my doors.
And I will fight until the end,
No matter how much pain sinks in.
So take my hand
And follow me.
We can escape
This insanity.
Just you and me.

JUST YOU AND ME! (4x)

Eulogy
03:48
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
I've never seen such a sight.
This moment is frozen in time.
My mind wrapped around it,
I can't escape.
Your life is told inside the lines
Which cover your face as you lie
There at peace
Inside your grave.
(Prechorus)
Press my hand to your shoulder
One last time.
As you grow colder
I say goodbye.
(Chorus)
But just know that I'll miss you,
And I'll be right by your side.
Yeah, I'll always be with you
In a world we can't define.
Not even death can tear apart
You and me. You're still in my heart.
Now rest as God will lift you
Up into the sky.
(Verse 2)
The presence of you in our lives,
The radiance inside your eyes,
The care and compassion
That you once gave
Was gone in an instant that night.
And now you lay here in my sight
There at peace
Inside your grave.
(Prechorus)
Press my hand to your shoulder
One last time.
As you grow colder
I say goodbye.
(Chorus)
But just know that I'll miss you,
And I'll be right by your side.
Yeah, I'll always be with you
In a world we can't define.
Not even death can tear apart
You and me. You're still in my heart.
Now rest as God will lift you
Up into the sky.
(Bridge)
It was your time,
Your time to go.
It was your time,
I'm letting you know it's over.
It was your time,
Your time to go.
It was your time,
I'll never let go.
But just know that I'll miss you,
And I'll be right by your side.
Yeah, I'll always be with you
In a world we can't define.
(Chorus)
But just know that I'll miss you,
And I'll be right by your side.
Yeah, I'll always be with you
In a world we can't define.
Not even death can tear apart
You and me. You're still in my heart.
Now rest as God will lift you
Up into the sky.

(Verse 1)
Uncage me...
I'm waiting...
Enrage me...
I'M RISING UP AGAIN!
You Bastard!
You inglorious Fuck!
You had once kept me at bay,
But now you're down on your luck.
Now I'm the master
You peasant get on your knees
And beg your God for redemption
As you watch yourself bleed!
I feel the hunger
Slowly swelling inside.
I'll rip you open with my bare hands
As i burn you alive.
You better say your farewells,
Cuz I've been kicked out of Hell
SO I'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT
TO LOSE HERE TONIGHT!
(Prechorus)
I'm sorry...
What's going on,
And how did I get here?
My hands are stained
And my memory is unclear.
Who's body's laying
Here in my presence?
I've got to bury all of this evidence.
(Chorus)
As I run outside
The snow and ice
Fall from the sky
On me.
Throw it in drive
And try to hide
As I'm speeding
Away.
You're out of time!
So get in line,
Cuz damnation
Awaits!
I'm lost inside
Your lifeless eyes
As I dig
Your shallow grave.
(Verse 2)
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
I feel you creeping up again,
now it's dark again
And I don't know what to do.
Is this really true?
This can't be happening to me...
This couldn't have been me!
Now I'm caught in this mess,
But I'll lay you to rest
As I try to find a way
To get out.
But I'm not crazy...
NO I'M NOT CRAZY!
(Prechorus)
I'm sorry...
I tainted God's greatest gift
For another.
And now my own life
Has been torn asunder.
But in my head there's a voice,
There's a burden
Which lingers on like a
Plagued pack of vermin.
Get out of my head,
Get out of my mind.
You're better off dead,
And better off left behind.
You're the voice of The Devil,
The evil inside.
I know the truth,
You're nothing but my own disguise!
(Bridge)
It's not the end,
And I hope you know that you're not broken
Beyond the point
In which we cannot mend.
To better places
You'll go.
And kiss The Earth goodbye
as you ascend.
Look down on me
From Heaven
As I try to redeem myself
from my sins
So I may rise
and gain innocence
While I bask in Heaven's
Endless radiance...
(Outro)
DO YOU REMEMBER ME?!

Night Of Our Lives
03:40

(Verse 1)
So here we are
In the shadow of our lives
Looking up
At what's to come.
So just stay calm.
Take the evening,
Breathe it in.
Let it penetrate your lungs.
(Prechorus)
They always told us
To give up our youth.
We're here to say
We've got nothing to lose.
(Verse 2)
In some time
Carelessness will all be gone,
We'll all be where
We don't belong.
So just hold on.
Although our freedom has been lost,
We're trying hard
To not get caught.
(Prechorus)
They always told us
To give up our youth.
We're here to say
We've got nothing to lose.
(Chorus)
These are the nights I'll remember
When I grow old and have had my fun.
No matter where I am going,
I'll remember this night till I'm gone.
(Solo)
(Chorus)
Stay up all night and regret it,
Talking about what the future holds.
Hard times tomorrow, I know it.
I'll remember this night till I'm gone.
In time we'll find all the answers
To all the things that keep us awake.
As you grow older, it's harder
To keep faith in all of your dreams.
These are the nights I'll remember
When I grow old and have had my fun.
No matter where I am going,
I'll remember this night till I'm gone.
I'll remember this night till I'm gone.

(Verse 1)
Does it
Feel so right?
Are you
Unaware?
You left me
Outside
To freeze to death
Out in the
Void you call
Your home.
We're all
Alone...
With no observers to witness
The crimes you've committed
While sitting innocently
On your throne.
(Prechorus)
And like a shooting star that's passing by,
You left the world that you made behind.
So you can launch yourself away like you're flying
But I hope you know that my dying...
(Chorus)
Wish for you
Is to see you get what
You deserve.
You little hypocrite!
Break into
Little fragments while I
Watch you
Burn.
I don't orbit you,
I won't trail you lies.
I'm not your
Satellite.
You will finally
Get what you deserve
And come back down
To Earth.
(Verse 2)
Your arbitrary
Suffocation,
Has led to my
Devastation.
And your limitless
Deprivation
Of any care at all
Broke me...
I hope
You know
I'm not
Alone
And I will bring you to justice
Cuz all those you trusted
Resent your broken crown
And want you overthrown.
(Prechorus)
And like a shooting star that's passing by,
You left the world that you made behind.
So you can launch yourself away like you're flying
But I hope you know that my dying...
(Chorus)
Wish for you
Is to see you get what
You deserve.
You little hypocrite!
Break into
Little fragments while I
Watch you
Burn.
I don't orbit you,
I won't trail you lies.
I'm not your
Satellite.
Like a supernova
Out in space,
You'll slowly
Burn away.

(Verse 1)
YOU TOOK ME TO HELL
Where you don't need a reason
To subjugate my life.
Attempt your domination,
I will not be compromised.
You sick and twisted demon,
You're so corrupt inside.
Your insatiable hunger
Never will be satisfied.
(Prechorus)
Through all of your hate,
And all of your lies
I will survive.
(Chorus)
I finally ran away
With nothing left to say.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
Took all that you could take,
The debt won't be repaid.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
(Verse 2)
Try to shoot your bullets at my soul.
You're never taking the control.
I put my all out on the table,
But it wasn't good enough for you.
You greedy little leech,
I was all in.
But you take and take and take
And take and take and never give!
So I'm
Giving up on you
Because I'm tired of the Hell
You've put me through.
Your time's expired,
And although I'm black and blue
I don't need this misery
And I surely don't need you!
(Prechorus)
You think you're a Saint,
Perfection at it's prime.
Well I've got something to say;
You're simply fucked up inside.
Through all of your hate,
And all of your lies
I will survive.
(Chorus)
I finally ran away
With nothing left to say.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
Took all that you could take,
The debt won't be repaid.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
(Bridge)
So I tell myself it's nothing,
And I'll be alright I'm sure.
But just know that
You've filled me full of sorrow.
So I'll stay here for a moment
And fake a smile once more,
But just know that
I'm waiting for tomorrow.
So I tell myself
To give it up
And get up
Off the floor.
There's nothing left here anymore.
So I'll pull myself
From off the ground
And finally
Find the door
And show you
All this pain
In which I have
Endured.
(Chorus)
I finally ran away
With nothing left to say.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
Took all that you could take,
The debt won't be repaid.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
You left without a trace,
And burned our memories.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
(Outro)
So I tell myself it's nothing,
And I'll be alright I'm sure.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
So I'll stay here for a moment,
And fake a smile once more.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
But just know that
You've filled me full of sorrow.
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.
But just know that
I'm waiting for tomorrow...
I'll find myself again,
I'll find myself again.

Going Home
07:28

(Intro)
A man of war is all I am,
Sent away to foreign lands,
To venues so unknown.
When can I go home?
They say that time heal wounds and bends,
But the things I see, they never end.
Here I am alone.
Are we going home?
Dancing through the hostile fires.
What kind of crime demands the price
Of someone else's life?
Will I make it home?
I raise my gun by other's wills
For all the numbers they want killed.
But since the start, this was suicide.
I'm never coming home.
(Verse 1)
SAVE ME!
The bullets tearing
Through the smoke and haze.
We're still confined
To old and twisted ways.
My brothers at my side, sent away to die
Run up so anxiously
To meet with death upon
The battlefield with me.
(Chorus)
Our animal-like instincts
Never will be tamed.
You throw us away,
You throw us away.
(Verse 2)
The ash and ember
Soon consume us all.
The land is littered
With the signs of our downfall.
The sun will never set, swallow your regrets
As you wish to die,
Cuz you're inhuman
In the hostile's eyes.
(Chorus)
My brothers weep and cry
As their limbs are blow away.
You throw us away,
You throw us away.
I rise and run ahead,
Bullets flying by my face.
You throw us away,
You throw us away.
I've been captured by the enemy,
A trophy to score.
And now I'm left for dead
as a prisoner of war.
They put the gun up to my head
And pull the trigger as they say
"They threw you away,
They threw you way."
They threw me away...
(Bridge)
And the angels sing...
(Outro)
It's my redemption (4x)
