1. END OF THE LINE

Yeah, I do declare, theirs something in the air
I'm burning the candle, at both ends
Bitter betrayals, skeleton keys
Houses to haunt, well, it's alright by me
Rags to ruin, some fool handy choices
Some would say, not a ghost of a chance

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
They tell me what to do, and they shut down you
Some, things, are, best, just, left, unsaid

End of the line, end of the line
One door closes, another door closes, and now your boxed in
End of the line, end of the line

Feel eyes, in the trees, the foreboding path
The turn, of the head, I hear it laugh
It says, hang em now, it says, hang em high
When you're done, then, hail, to the sky
I've been told, to keep the fuck off, to dust my self off
And to do it again

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
They tell me what to do, and they shut down you
Some, things, are, best, just, left, unsaid

End of the line, end of the line
One door closes, another door closes, and now your boxed in
End of the line, end of the line

Shit
Bitter betrayals, the foreboding path
I've come, to, shut, you, down
Rags to ruin, some fool handy choices
Some would say, not a ghost of a chance

The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
They tell me what to do, and they shut down you
Some, things, are, best, just, left, unsaid

End of the line, end of the line
One door closes, another door closes, and now your boxed in
End of the line, end of the line.


2. DRIVING DOWN THE DARKNESS

Beat down, through worlds, this time it's
Crossed, the line beware of, what's, behind wolfs
Coming quick to kill you, currents running strong
Think, your right, wrong, look
It's long gone, look, it's long gone

Stick, to, yourself, hold, your, own
Stay strong in the sight, of insanity
Stick, to yourself, hold your own
Stay strong in the sight, of insanity

Driving down the darkness, stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness, while you play God
Driving down the darkness, stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness, while, you, play, God, with my life

Me against them, no stopping, time for action, not talking
If it rears it's ugly head, I'll cut it clean off
Change this, change that, change this, change that
My ears are burning from all the talking
Time for fuckers to start, walking

Stick, to, yourself, hold, your, own
Stay strong in the sight, of insanity
Stick, to yourself, hold your own
Stay strong in the sight, of insanity

Driving down the darkness, stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness, while you play God
Driving down the darkness, stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness, while, you, play, God, with my life

With my life (x4)
Yeah

I'll, pray, for, you, your prayers, come, true
That I, don't come, for you
I'll, pray, for, you, your prayers, come, true
That I, don't come, for, you

Driving down the darkness, stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness, while you play God
Driving down the darkness, stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness, while, you, play, God, with my life.


3. GRINFUCKED

Lights on but no-ones home, I should've left you on your own
You can't stand the heat you're all alone, yeah
Horseshoes and hand-grenades, coulda, woulda, shoulda
Your bed is made, another man down, and gone

Take, advantage, manipulate, take, advantage, you piece of shit
Grinfucked, debt, paid in, full
(Full), you won't grin, fuck, me

This time the advantage is mine
(Mine, mine) this time, vengeance is mine
Come seeking treasure, without a map
It's in the journey and you'll never find your way back

Take, advantage, manipulate, take, advantage, you piece of shit
Grinfucked, debt, paid in, full
(Full), you won't grin, fuck, me

Drop down
Fool me, once, shame on, you
Fool me, twice, shame, on, me

You've, been grin, fucked
You've, been grinfucked (x2).


4. HOLD BACK THE DAY

Dig deep, dig in deeper, you go where only fools fear to tread
You'll find devices to kill your master
Why not kill your maker instead?
Leave it to the ones that own you
Leave it to those ones to disown you
Put faith & trust, in the dusk, do, what you must do

I'm getting edgy, for those departed
Left all alone, left still forgotten

Miles to go and sky's to fly, hold back the day
Miles to go and sky's to fly, it's darkest, before the dawn (x2)

Yeah
Claw hard, from your casket, six feet, and getting deeper
Should the top, soil feel heavy, it must be getting weaker
Towers people build, up in life
Become frail & fall to the ground
Fuck them, there opinion, deceiving, the honest man

I'm getting edgy, for those departed
Left all alone, left still forgotten

Miles to go and sky's to fly, hold back the day
Miles to go and sky's to fly, it's darkest, before the dawn (x2)

Always

Always darkest, before the dawn (x3)
Always darkest, before the

I'm getting edgy, for those departed
Left all alone, left still forgotten

Miles to go and sky's to fly, hold back the day
Miles to go and sky's to, fly, it's darkest, before the dawn

Miles to go and sky's to fly, hold back the day
Miles to go and sky's to, fly, it's darkest, before the dawn

Yeah, darkest, darkest, always
Always darkest, before the dawn
Always darkest, before the dawn
(Always), darkest, darkest.


5. SIN AND SACRIFICE

Regrets, night sweats, occasional, thoughts of suicide
Green light, I'm OK, feeling fine, just a little tongue tied

Old habits die hard, and I've lived so fast
And I know it's a long way down
Tempting me, tempting you, tempting us in all we do
Can't make a move, show me a sign, what is your will?
It's a, long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice
Long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice

Lost sleep, count sheep
Can't see them to get my mind, off of things
Toss and turn, candles burn, grinding teeth, and night endlessly

Old habits die hard and I've lived so fast
And I know it's a long way down
Tempting me, tempting you, tempting us in all we do
Can't make a move, show me a sign, what is your will?
It's a, long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice

Long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice (x3)

I'm burning, internally, I'm burning

I'm burning, internally, I'm burning
I'm burning, infernally, I'm burning

It's a, long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice
Long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice
Long, long, way, between sin, and sacrifice
And sacrifice.


6. RIPPED APART

Throw stones
Even though, you live in a glass, house on your own
And I don't sympathize, or criticize

Rumor has it, you've got something to say
You've got, nothing on me, nothing on me
Rumor has it, you keep repeating yourself
You've got, nothing on me, nothing on me
Second mind, second sight, second skin, go within
Ripped apart, ripped apart, on sight

Fork tongue, it's like a razor, when, you want to use it
And use it wrong, and I don't compromise, or socialize

Rumor has it, you've got something to say
You've got, nothing on me, nothing on me
Rumor has it, you keep repeating yourself
You've got, nothing on me, nothing on me
Second wind, second sight, second skin, go within
Ripped apart, ripped apart, on sight

Ripped apart, ripped apart, ripped apart (x4)

Goddamn, shit, I'm feeling it
When we see, each other it's throw time
When we see, each other it's throw time
When we see, each other it's go time

You throw stones, and I don't criticize
You throw stones, and I don't sympathize
You throw stones, and I don't criticize, throw stones.


7. PALE HORSE APOCALYPSE

Solemn roads and the paths least chose
Walking miles when the ground is frozen
Selling souls, that aren't yours to give
Some must go, so other may live

Pale horse, apocalypse, stale breath, from liar's lips
Many, many lives, turned, upside, down

Bloods clean
(You know it is), downstream
(It's mine, not his), red water churns
Watch the evil river, burn, burn

Every mistake that you've made, is more, dirt on the grave
That you've been digging, not for yourself, but, for, us
(Fuck you) (x2)

Congratulations on your efforts dead ends
Between us, let's not pretend, half-ass, jackass, liar
You threw us all in the fire, under, a hale of gunfire
Some will live, and others expire
You turned it all, upside, down

Bloods clean
(You know it is), downstream
(It's mine, not his), red water churns
Watch the evil river, burn, burn, burn

Every mistake that you've made, is more, dirt on the grave
That you've been digging, not for yourself, but, for, us
(Fuck you)

Every mistake that you've made, is more, dirt on the grave
That you've been digging, not for yourself, but, for, us, us, us

Half-ass, jackass, liar

Bloods clean
(You know it is), downstream
(It's mine, not his), red water churns
Watch the evil river, burn, burn, burn

Every mistake that you've made, is more, dirt on the grave
That you've been digging, not for yourself, but, for, us
(Fuck you)

Every mistake that you've made, is more, dirt on the grave
That you've been digging, not for yourself, but, for, us, us, us

Fuck, you, you fuckin liar.


8. JUST RUN

Just run (x4)
Courage, without conviction, is apathy at best
Better move, with a quickness, or get shit, canned like the rest
No-one taught you how to run with the pack
So blaze your own trail down, catch yourself, if you slip
Chances are, there'll be no-one around

Get, out, leave, it, far behind, get, out, leave, it, far behind
(Get out of small town)

Run now, to save yourself, run now, to take control
Run now, to save your life, run now, it's do or die
Just run, just run

The grass is greener on the other side
No one here gets out alive, it's up to you to survive
There's a monster on your side

Get, out, leave, it, far behind, get, out, leave, it, far behind
(Get out of small town)

Run now, to save yourself, run now, to take control
Run now, to save your life, run now, it's do or die
Just run, just run

I've got, faith on my side, destiny on my side
I know, it's, getting better, I can feel, it getting better
It can't, get, much worse, it, couldn't, get much worse

This time I'm gonna, run (x4)
Run, run

Run now, to save yourself, run now, to take control
Run now, to save your life, run now, it's do or die
Just run, just run

Just run

Just run.


9. IMPENDING DISASTER

There's dirt on my shoes, and there mud on his back
He's been, chasing his nightmares for days
I'm running with evil, its impending disaster
I've finally steered clear of his way

I see it staring you down, I feel it wrapping around
Shits taking you down so quick (x2)

Why can't I help my friend when he, won't even help himself?

I can't yell at you, because I've yelled at myself, so many times
Hard times, hard times, Goddamn we're two of a kind
I can't yell at you, because I've yelled at myself, so many times
Who now is to blame, when karma keeps coming around?

Coming around (x4)
Yeah

Hard times and troubles, we all live in peril
Its difficult, full of dismay
He buries his feelings, he shrouds his light
With oh so many evil thoughts

It's the dirt on your shoes, it's mud on our back
That makes us one in the same

I see it staring you down, I feel it wrapping you round
Shits taking you down so quick

I can't yell at you, because I've yelled at myself, so many times
Hard times, hard times, Goddamn we're two of a kind
I can't yell at you, because I've yelled at myself, so many times
Who now is to blame, when karma keeps coming around?

Coming around (x4)
Coming around
Coming around
(Coming)
So many
With do so many evil things
With so many, oh so, many evil things
Oh so, many evil things

(Who now is to blame, when karma keeps coming around) (x5)
(Evil things)

(Who now is to blame, when karma keeps coming around) (x2)
(Evil things) (x2).


10. BEAR WITNESS UNTO

Scream, in vain tonight, all the kings, must fall
Take, a stand tonight, all the kinds, must fall
Fight, or flight tonight, this night I'm craving disaster
Give, them Hell tonight, this night is meant for disaster

Go, bear witness unto, this solitude, my solitude

Under the gun
(The gun), and without a knife
(A knife), its going off without a hitch, get gone

Under the gun
(The gun), and without a knife
(A knife), its going off without a, hitch, go get gone

Alright

Sink, or swim tonight, can't stop the way I'm feeling
Ring, the bell tonight, all the kings, must fall
Roll, the dice tonight, give it all, to chance
I'm, all in tonight, this night I'm craving disaster

Go, bear witness unto, this solitude, my solitude

Under the gun
(The gun), and without a knife
(A knife), its going off without a hitch, get gone

Under the gun

(A knife), its going off without a hitch, get gone

Under the gun
(The gun), and without a knife

11. BEFORE THE HANGMAN'S NOOSE

It's, a good, day, to fuckin' die, a good day, a fuckin good day
A good day, a fuckin good day, good, day
Truth be told the water looks cold
And the trees fly by as we drive
The sun goes down, sometimes I wanna stay
Sometimes I wanna leave, sometimes I gotta ride
Riding this rail I know what I'm on
But not now what I'm in for
This train to somewhere seems to never end
As far as I can tell, Hell

Before, all Hell breaks loose, before, the hangman's noose
And as, the sun goes down, I'll say
It's a good, day to die, a good, day to die
Before, the hangman's noose, I'll say
It's a good, day to die, a good, day to die

No more stops, time to punch your ticket
This time this ride is one way, I can see a shadow of a man
And man it's coming my way
Riding this rail, I know what I'm on
But not now what I'm in for
This train to nowhere seems to never end
As far as I can tell, Hell

Before, all Hell breaks loose, before, the hangman's noose
And as, the sun goes down, I'll say
It's a good, day to die, a good, day to die
Before, the hangman's noose, I'll say
It's a good, day to die, a good, day to die

This day, will be mine, this day, will be mine
This day, will be, mine

This day, it will
(It will), be mine
(Be mine), this day
(This day), it will
(It will), be mine
(Be mine), be mine, be mine, this day
(This day), it will
(It will), be mine
(Be mine), be mine
(This day), this day
(It will), it will
(Be mine), be mine, be mine

Shit

Before, all Hell breaks loose, I'll say

Before, the hangman’s noose, I'll say
It's a good, day to die, a good, day to die
Before, all Hell breaks loose, I'll say, this day will be mine
This day will be mine, before all Hell breaks loose
It's a good, day to die.


12. THE FURY OF OUR MAKER'S HAND

I'm just a human being, a mistake, made of feelings
With a soul, wrapped in chains, so fragile, full of pain
No one knows, why we are here
Giving laughter and so many tears
I will just, do my best, to keep my head above the rest
No one really knows, which way, the wind blows

One day the tides will turn, one day the fields will burn
One day the seas will churn, the fury of, our maker's hand
(Our maker's hand, our maker's hand)

Man is a mistake cast out, shunned, and cast down
Giving life through breathe of Gods, with itself always at odds
The pious, the preacher, the liar, the creature
From rock, to fire, the dust, of man
O my maker, I need a savior

One day the tides will turn, one day the fields will burn
One day the seas will churn, the fury of, our makers hand
Our maker's hand, our maker's hand

The fury
The fury

(What will you do?) (x4)

One day the tides will turn, one day the fields will burn
One day the seas will churn, the fury of, our makers hand

(What will you do?), our maker's hand (x2)

(What will you do?), the fury (x2)

(What will you do? What will you do?), what will you do?
What, will, you, do?

(What will you do?), what will you do? (x2).


BONUSTRACKS (SPECIAL EDITION)


13. UNLUCKY 13

Walk under ladders, shatter seven mirrors
They say that's bad luck, for seven years
So drink your glasses, but not at midnight
Salt over your shoulder, into the fury

Goes through with insecure (x2)

I laugh at hearses roll by
Never look in the evil eye, hold my breath in cemeteries
Many ill wishes for my enemies

Cease fire, seize the day, I rue the day, that you were made (x2)
Go ahead and get it off your chest
With luck, you may survive, the guillotine
Nothing's what it seems, unlucky thirteen
Nothing’s what it seems, with the number thirteen

Lay under tin roofs, while lightning strikes
Not afraid, to rule the night
So many black cats, that cross my path
It gives me power, to work my wrath
I’ve knocked on wood, as the clock strikes twelve
This is the hour, when all the spirits dwell

I laugh at hearses roll by
Never look in the evil eye, hold my breath in cemeteries
Many ill wishes for my enemies

Cease fire, seize the day, I rue the day, that you were made (x2)
Go ahead and get it off your chest
With luck, you may survive, the guillotine
Nothing's what it seems, unlucky thirteen
Nothing’s what it seems, with the number thirteen

Yeah, you

You

Cease fire, seize the day, I rue the day, that you were made (x2)
Go ahead and get it off your chest
With luck you may survive, the guillotine
Nothing’s what it seems, unlucky thirteen
Nothing’s what it seems, with the number thirteen

This unlucky life, this unlucky life, unlucky thirteen.


14. GUILTY AS SIN

There's dead leaves on the dirty ground
That's how I know you're not around, to be with me
I stroke your hair, kiss your lips, kiss the ground
But you're not around, and you're nowhere, to be found

I'm innocent
And you're guilty of the charges that are coming in
Guilty, as sin, my heart is hit, even when, you are far away
I look to the sky, and ask the clouds to rain

I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I'm ready for the moon that can't stay eclipsed (x2)

Blood on my bed is now, blood on my hands
When I was so far away, the guilt, in your voice
The mistaken word, when I was nowhere to be found

You're innocent and I'm guilty of the charges
That are coming in, guilty as sin
Your heart is hit, even when, I am far away
You look, to the sky, and ask the clouds to rain

I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I'm ready for the moon that can't stay eclipsed (x2)

I'm ready for the moon (x3)
That can't stay eclipsed
Why can't we get it together? Get it together
Why can't we get it together?

I'm so sorry my wings can't be clipped
But I'm ready for the moon that can't stay eclipsed (x2)

I'm ready for the moon (x3)
That can't stay eclipsed.


15. DIGGING UP THE CORPSES

Tell me another story (x2)

Everyone has stories, they bore me, they bore me
They end up feeling nervous, their stories, they bore me
Everyone's got, skeletons in their closet
Don't ask me, where they got it
You should have told the truth a long time ago
Liar, liar, I told you so

Digging up the corpses, once again, tell me another story
Digging up the corpses, that haunts you, they haunt you
Digging up the corpses, once again, tell me another story
Digging up the corpses, once again
Corpses, corpses, once again
Corpses, digging, up the, corpses, once again

Back to another story, that haunts me, it haunts me
So we shear the wolf from your story
That haunts you, haunts you

Everyone's got, skeletons in their closet
Don't ask me, where they got it
You should have told the truth a long time ago
Liar, liar, I told you so

Digging up the corpses, once again, tell me another story
Digging up the corpses, that haunts you, they haunt you
Digging up the corpses, once again, tell me another story
Digging up the corpses, once again
Corpses, corpses, once again
Corpses, digging, up the, corpses, once again

Digging, digging, digging, digging
Up the, up the, up the, up the
Corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses
I should have never let you in, your soul is full of sin
Now it's time, to begin, digging up the corpses again

Your stories, bore me

Digging up the corpses, once again, tell me another story
Digging up the corpses, that haunts you, they haunt you
Digging up the corpses, once again, tell me another story
Digging up the corpses, once again
Corpses, corpses, once again.
Digging, up the, corpses, corpses, once again

Going (x4)
Gone.


16. I COULD CARE LESS (LIVE)

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).
