Lyrics

1. NOTHING'S WRONG

Yeah
There's nothing wrong, with what you do and what you say
There's nothing wrong, pure will will get you through

Why can't you see you're in my way?
Your ways are killing you (x2)

Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law
Do what thou wilt, all they understand is the claw

Why can't you see you're in my way?
Your ways are killing you
Why can't you see you're in my way?
Your ways are killing me

Killing me, killing me, killing you, killing you, killing me, yeah
(Killing you)

So go fuck yourself, anyway

Keep this, hunger, keep this
(This), hunger

There's nothing wrong, with how I live my life today
There's nothing wrong, so go fuck yourself, anyway

Why can't you see you're in my way? (x4).


2. I COULD CARE LESS

Every time you speak my name
(My name, my name), my image it just burns away
(Away, away), every-time you speak my name
(My name, my name)
My image it just, it just, it just, burns away, burns away
Burns away, burns, away, away, away, away, give me that

I could care less than for your grandiosity
I had to skin the cat for curiosity
I could care less than for your silly pompous ways
Every time you speak my name, my image burns away

I could care less (x4)

Don't you know, our lives are on trial now?
And if we loose, were going straight to Hell (2x)

Give me that

You must excuse me, I’m gone really not myself
Woke up today, inside, inside of someone else
I could care less than for your silly pompous way
(Give me that)
Every time you speak my name, my image burns away
Give me that

I could care less (x3)
(Give me that)
I could care less, I could care less

Don't you know, our lives are on trial now?
And if we loose, were going straight to Hell (x2)

Straight to Hell (x5)
Might go straight to Hell

I could care less
(Straight to Hell) (3x).


3. DIE (AND DIE NOW)

Blood, is my life, blood, is the road
Every time I have to write another hate song
This is the last great, hate song
Scorned, is this life, scared, is my sole
Every time I have to write another hate song
This is the last grate, hate song

Lets, get it out, lets get it straight
I wish you were dead (2x)

Don't mistake kindness for weakness
Front and center for another ass kicking
Don't mistake survival for forgiveness
Front and center for another ass whoopin

I am the dog that forever bites back
Forever on attack, watching my back (2x)

Die, and die now, I wish you were dead

Die now, I wish you were dead (x6)

Feast, your life, the beast, the road
Every time I have to write another hate song
This is the last great hate song

Let's, get it out, let's get it straight
I wish you were dead (2x)

Don't mistake mercy for forgiveness
Front and center for another life lesson
Don't forgive, damn sure don't forget, damn sure won't forget

I am the dog that forever bites back
Forever on attack, watching my back (2x)

Die, and die now, I wish you were dead

Die now, I wish you were dead (x5)

Die

Curses, from my life, curses, from my sole

This is the last great, hate song (2x)

Dam sure won't, forget, die (4x).


4. I DREAMED I DIED

Destroy all, destroy all, or nothing

I dreamed I died, ended up at the gates of Heaven
Greeted by a man Saint someone, said how's the ride son?
It's been alright, at times a little rough, why am I here?
You did alright, lived a little dark and that's alright
Cause we made the dark-side
And the right-side is to have no fear, no fear

My whole life flashed in front of me
I saw everything that I was, and what I had done
Even let me look back on some good times, for a little fun
Yes, a little fun, and then I heard damn boy, you done good
Did, the every little thing that you could
And then I heard damn boy you done good, damn good
(So)

When you hear the call, bury them all, destroy all, or nothing
When I hear the call, I will bury them all
I will destroy all, or nothing

When the sky opened up and the clouds parted clear
There wasn't any doubt to why I was here
And I knew I'd done a good job, the best job that I could do
So, now it was time to move on, to get on, to get back
To the question of why I was here and what I had learned
No fear

My whole life flashed in front of me
I saw everything that I was, and what I had done
Even let me look back on some good times, for a little fun
Yes, a little fun, and then I heard damn boy, you done good
Did, the every little thing that you could
And then I heard damn boy you done good, damn good
(So)

When you hear the call, bury them all, destroy all, or nothing
When I hear the call, I will bury them all
I will destroy all, or nothing

Shit
(My whole life), my whole life, flashed

My whole life, flashed in front of my eyes (x2)
(My whole life), flashed
(My whole life), in front of my eyes

Goddamn, wake up, bad dream (x2)

Goddamn, wake up, bad dream, bad dream (x2)

When you hear the call, bury them all, destroy all, or nothing
When I hear the call, I will bury them all
I will destroy all, or nothing.


5. CRY FOR ME SKY (EULOGY OF THE SCORNED)

Right

So

Let's move, move
In this life I've known, nothing but seeds you've sown
I've walked the highways and I've combed the side roads
It's been a joy of highs, oh the pain of lows
I met the Devil at the heart of the crossroads
I share a soul, with a hunting hound
My blood's a red river that flows through every town
No, have you ever felt like I have?

Cry
(Have you ever felt like I have?)
For me sky
(Have you ever felt like I, I have?), cry, for me sky
(Cry for me sky), cry, for me sky, cry for me, sky
(Cry for me), scorned, scorned
(Cry for me)

Live this life insane, nothing but pouring rain
I'm an outlaw, it's amazing I'm sane
Born and dressed in black, my soul is fighting back
Fueling Hell, and raising Cain

No
(Cain, Cain), have you ever felt like I have?
(Cain, Cain), cry, for me sky
(Have you ever felt like I have?)
(Have you ever felt like I, I have?), cry, for me sky
(Cry for me sky), cry, for me sky, cry for me, sky

Right

(Get the fuck up, get, up?)
When I'm a ghost and gone, I'll be remembered strong
By all I've met, by, friends, and family
When I'm lowered down, six feet in the ground
There won't be a sound except for crows wailing

Cry, for me sky
(Cry for me sky), cry, for me sky, cry for me, sky.


6. THE MOUNTAIN

Storm, coming in me, bad weather just makes me breathe
Watch, as the sky turns Grey, life ebbs and flows away
Wait, before I go, I'll make them all eat crow
Play, the hand life deals, everything my way, now kneel
I'm a tree, roots firm in dirt, I've had my share of hurt
Move fast, cause the time is short, cause the time is short

Don't ask me to lose, cause I'm born now to win
And I'm building this mountain from outside within

All you outsiders, you haters and liars
Your time is just counting, so come meet the mountain (x2)
Come meet the mountain

Winning

Storm, strength coming on strong
Rain wash away life's wrongs
Willing, straight from the start, strike fear into their Heart
Sometimes, you wish you'd never been born
But then here comes the storm
And just, as the sky turns black, the voices say attack
(Attack)

Move fast, cause the time is short, cause the time is short (x2)

Don't ask me to lose, cause I'm born now to win
And I'm building this mountain from outside within

All you outsiders, you haters and liars
Your time is just counting, so come meet the mountain (x2)

Come meet the mountain (x4)
Falling, life, life ebbs, and flows away

Don't ask me to lose, cause I'm born now to win
And I'm building this mountain from outside within

All you haters and liars, just come meet the mountain.


7. KNEE DEEP

What do I have to do?
(For this?) (x2)

I love this, please push me harder, I just keep getting meaner
I'm growing from the pain, how about you, shit
Life, it's hard, it makes me stronger, a warrior seeking victory
I'll push it, til the end, push it, til the end
Push it til the end, shit, the end, shit, the end

Knee deep in the shit, all together in the pit
All forever in the shit, for this (x2)

Pirate, poet, fucking killer, it's all what you've made me
What has life made you, made you, shit
Life, chalk it up to desire, of which I've had my fill
I just keep pushing forward, keep pushing forward still
Keep pushing forward still, shit, still, shit, still

Knee deep in the shit, all together in the pit
All forever in the shit, for this (x2)

(So if you feel the need), bring it, bring it
(And if you just want to spit it out), bring it, bring it
(And if you just see your way clear then), bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring, it, shit

Knee deep in the shit, all together in the pit
All forever in the shit, for this (x2)

Knee deep in the shit, for this (x2)
Knee deep in the shit
(For this), in the shit
(For this), in the shit
(For this), for, this.


8. WHAT DOES IT TAKE (TO BE A MAN)

Shit

On a day-to-day there's no way most men make it through
I got to tell you now
Family tied to me, I'm doing just what I got to do
I got to tell you now

All a man's got is his word and to keep himself free
Do with your life what you will, stay away from my family
Born blue collar been working since I was thirteen
My father was up at five and broke his back to keep us clean
My mother sweated and slaved and suffered for the family
So when you push me, don't think that I won't shove
(I got to tell you now)

What does it take to be a man, what does it take? (x2)

What does it take? (x3)
To be a man

On a day-to-day there's no way most men make it through
I got to tell you now
Family tied to me, I'm doing just what I got to do
I got to tell you now

When I was a young man I was told to take a stand
And damn it boy, you better stick to a plan
So on a day-to-day you better walk a man's path
Learn how to walk a man's mile, get that game face smile
Don't put up with people who get in your way
And when you push, don't think that I won't shove
(I got to tell you now)

What does it take to be a man, what does it take? (x2)

What does it take? (x3)
To be a man (x2)

Work

What does it take to be a man, what does it take? (x2)

What does it take? (x3)
To be a man

What does it take to be a man, what does it take? (x2)

What does it take? (x3)
To be a man.


9. SWINGING THE DEAD

Swinging the dead, swinging the dead

Get it up, pick it up, the chilling thrilling sound
Of the rock & roll haunting, yeah
It's the graveyard sound, where the monster crashed
On the demon haunted, yeah
Get it up, give it up, the chilling thrilling sound
Of the rock & roll haunting, yeah

You scream for blood, you scream for flesh
Just keep the bodies, moving

Just keep the bodies moving
(Ride if you like, ride if you like)
Death-ride

Swinging the dead, swinging the dead
Death-ride (x7)
Swinging the dead, swinging the dead.


10. REVELATION MACHINE

Don't you worry about their kind
They'll be gone long after time
We'll be here, yes we'll be fine, we'll be fine
All the treasure that they sought
Has led them, bled them, just fear not
All their souls, their souls were bought, ours were not

When they think, your scene all they think
The green, don't you know just what I mean, just what I mean

All the treasure that they sought
Has led them, bled them, just fear not
All their souls, their souls were bought, ours were not

Revelation machine, revelation machine, move
Revelation machine, revelation machine, get up and move

We are bringing what is raw, we are bringing tooth and claw
Oh your show, yes that I saw, yes that I saw
But after two times it got old, yes the story it got cold
After two times it got old, bought and sold
Join me now in saying fuck, join me now in saying you
Join me know in saying fuck you, fuck you

All the treasure that they sought
Has led them, bled them, just fear not
All their souls, their souls were bought, ours were not

Revelation machine, revelation machine, move
Revelation machine, revelation machine, get up and move

Revelation, revelation, revelation, revelation (x2)

Come here with me now, it's the trip, it's so good (x3)
Come here with me now, come here with me now

Revelation, revelation, revelation (x2)

Revelation machine, revelation machine, move
Revelation machine, revelation machine, get up and move

Revelation, revelation, revelation, revelation (x2).


11. MEET THE WRETCHED

It's calling

Calling

So, you're bored and you're sitting, your soul is fitting
Let's go to town and meet the wretched
I hear, they say, night time is calling
The sky is falling, let's go to town and meet the wretched
Every time we go to town we're taking what they're giving
Let's go downtown and take a drink
We're taking shit from no one

To fight, to win, to gain, ground, gain ground
To kick up, dust and gain ground, gain ground
To fight, to win, to gain, ground, gain ground
Come and meet the, come and meet the wretched tonight

So, you're bored, of home you tire, then let's conspire
Let's go downtown and meet the wretched
See, I told you, it's what we desire, all Hell fire
Let's go downtown and meet the wretched
Every time we go to town we're taking what they're giving
Let's go downtown and take a drink
We're taking shit from no one

To fight, to win, to gain, ground, gain ground
To kick up, dust and gain ground, gain ground
To fight, to win, to gain, ground, gain ground
Come and meet the, come and meet the wretched tonight

Sell our souls for a good time tonight
We're here to drink, we're here to fight
We'll set our wicked nature free
We'll fuck the moon and mourn the stars tonight
Mourn the stars tonight
We'll get so high we'll commune with the beast
We'll go so big there'll be nothing left of us, for the mourning

Go and meet the wretched, go and meet the wretched
Wretched, wretched (x2)

It's in the air, we may, die tonight
I'm living my life fast and free (x2)

It's in the air, we may, die tonight (x3)
So tonight, it's fast as fuck

Go and meet the wretched, go and meet the wretched
Wretched, wretched (x2)

Fast, as fuck, the wretched.
