Lyrics

1. CHAOS

Each day is a war
A fight we must face
Our backs to the wall
Our hands bound and tied, our feet in the grave

Sometimes I feel it’s what kills me inside
Sometimes I feel it’s what keeps me alive

So take the world that you hate, the pain that you face
‘Cause only the strong will survive
Break the cage of your life, awaken the fire inside
Let the chaos bring you to life

The deeper we fall
The higher we soar
The scars show us all
We will survive, when we can’t take anymore

Sometimes I feel it’s what kills me inside
Sometimes I feel it’s what keeps me alive

So take the world that you hate, the pain that you face
‘Cause only the strong will survive
Break the cage of your life, awaken the fire inside
Let the chaos bring you to life

Drain the world ‘til it’s all gone (x5)

Drain the world ‘til we all go down

Awaken the fire inside

Take the world that you hate, the pain that you face
‘Cause only the strong will survive
Break the cage of your life, awaken the fire inside
Let the chaos bring you to life


2. LOVE THE WAY YOU HATE ME

Take another shot at me
I love the way you hate me

I don't care if I'm not good enough for you
I don't care if I don't live the lie you want me to
I don't care what you wanna think of me

Cause all you are is everything that I don't wanna to be

[Chorus:]
You say I'm a freak
I say I am free
Come take a shot at me
I love the way you hate me

You say I'm insane
I say you're afraid
I get stronger from the pain
I love the way you hate me

Take another shot at me
I love the way you hate me

You think I'm nothing
Cause I'm nothing like you
You think you know me
You have no idea what I've been through
So take a shot
Say what you want about me

All you are is everything that I will never be
(Fake)

[Chorus:]
You say I'm a freak
I say I am free
Come take a shot at me
I love the way you hate me

You say I'm insane
I say you're afraid
I get stronger from the pain
I love the way you hate me

I'd rather be a sinner than a slave
I'd rather be an outcast than just bow down and obey
When it's all done there's only one name upon my grave
I'd rather be a freak than be a fake

Tell me I'm a freak
Tell me I'm a creep
Tell me I'm obscene
Hate me

You say I'm insane
I say you're afraid
I get stronger from the pain
I love the way you hate me
I love the way you hate me
(I don't care)
I love the way you hate me
Hate me


3. WISH YOU HELL

Take that knife out of my spine
And you'll know you got the best of me
For the last time
Save your precious little lies
I won't waste another moment in the wake of your demise

So long, you ripped my heart away
Walk on, oh lord, I wish you hell
I wish you hell, walk on out
So long I wish you hell
So long I wish you hell
You ripped my heart away
Oh lord, I wish you hell
You ripped my heart away (Oh yeah)
Oh lord, I wish you...

Take one minute of your time
Look at the wreckage of the ones you've left behind
Face one lesson a lesson never learned
You're gonna get what you deserve

I wish you hell
I wish you hell, walk on out
So long I wish you hell
So long, I wish you...

You ripped my heart away
Oh lord, I wish you hell

You ripped my heart away
Oh lord,

I wish you hell
I wish you hell, walk on out (walk on)
Like you do so well
So long I wish you hell
So long, I wish you...


4. BREAK FREE

Help me
I've fallen further in myself
I'm stuck here again
And I can't see
That I'm not digging my way out
I'm digging my grave.

I've become my own demise
Paralyzed inside my mind
Arms are weak from holding up this front
No escape and no surprises
Complicated compromises
Hold me down
When what all I really want

Break free, break free, break free
From everything
Break free
Before it breaks me
There's got to be another way
Start again.

Tell me
How you can be the brighter star
That light up the sky
Well I can't seem
To even light up my own place
And I've burned out from trying

I've become what I despise
Paralyzed inside a lie
Arms are weak from holding back the flood
Sinking as the waters rise
Drink myself to sleep each night
I'm going under
And all I really want

Break free, break free, break free
From everything
Break free
Before it breaks me
There's got to be another way

Start again

No
Going under
I all I really want
Break free

Break free
Before it breaks me
There's got to be another way

Start again
Start again
Start again
There's got be another way.

Start again
Start again
Start again
Start again


5. NEVER SURRENDER

You put a wall in my way and I'll break it
You got something to say
I can take it
Did you think that a few little words would
Take (me)
Break (me)
I don't care

(Oh) I still believe
There is something here for me
(Oh) As long as I breathe

[Chorus:]
No, I will never surrender
No, I will fight forever
No, there is no turning back from here
I will never surrender

I've given way too much to just give up now
Stood up too many times to just
Fall back down
And all the shit that I'm facing now
In the end I can say
I've made it through hell

(Oh) I still believe
There is something here for me
(Oh) As long as I bleed

[Chorus]

(Oh) As long as I breathe
I will be free

[Chorus]

No, there is no surrender now
You will never break me down
I will stand in the face of fear
I will never surrender
Never surrender


6. BECOME THE ENEMY

You've become the enemy

I hate you for what you've become
I hate you, you know what you've done
You can’t look me in the eye but I want you to see
I won't be your lifeline when you will be the death of me

You've become the enemy
But you won't be the end of me
You've become the enemy
(You stole my soul)

It’s like you died before you were born
You're like Jesus Christ with devil's horns
Sucking me down in your black hole
Give back the life, the life you stole

I hate you for what you've become
How you live with the things that you've done
So look me in the eye ‘cause I want you to see
I won't be your lifeline when you will be the death of me

You've become the enemy
But you won't be the end of me
You've become the enemy
(You stole my soul)

It’s like you died before you were born
You're like Jesus Christ with devil's horns
Sucking me down in your black hole
Give back the life, the life you stole

It’s like you died before you were born
You're like Jesus Christ with devil's horns
Sucking me down in your black hole
Give back the life, the life you stole

You've become the enemy
But you won't be the end of me
You've become the enemy
Give back the life, the life you stole


7. SOUTHERN SKIES

Set my compass home
And find the footsteps I'll retrace
Cause everywhere I go
Brings me closer to this place
Cause everything I'm looking for
Is right back here where I belong
And everything I thought I'd lost
I found beneath this southern cross

Cause I've done a lot of wrong trying to make it right
Regretted every last goodbye
But anything is possible here tonight
Underneath these southern skies

It's always on my mind
This world that seems a world away
But I won't leave behind
These memories I would never change
Cause everything I'm looking for
Is right back here where I belong
And everything I thought I'd lost
I found beneath this southern cross

Cause I've done a lot of wrong trying to make it right
Regretted every last goodbye
But anything is possible here tonight
Underneath these southern skies

And I feel alive
Feel alive
Tonight

Everything I'm looking for
Is right back here where I belong
And everything I thought I'd lost
I found beneath the southern cross

Cause I've done a lot of wrong trying to make it right
Regretted every last goodbye
But anything is possible tonight
Underneath these southern skies
Underneath these skies
I feel alive


8. SIX FEET UNDER

Look into my eyes
And see the fire inside of me
I've come to far to die
Like a forgotten memory
You think I'll fade away
One foot in the grave
But I will rise again
You won't bury me
You won't bury me
I am free
I will be I vow
I'm not dead and gone
I will carry on
With no fear
I am here I am now
I'm not going down
Six feet underground
You kissed me when I fell
Thought you had seen the last of me
Fought my way back from hell
So don't expect my eulogy
You think I'll fade away
But a single flame
Ignites the fire again
You won't bury me
You won't bury me
I am free
I will be I vow
I'm dead and gone
I will carry on
With no fear
I am here I am now
I'm not going down
Six feet underground
(Get up)
Get up!
You think I will fade away
One foot in the grave
Look into my eyes
You won't bury me
You won't bury me
I am free
I will be I vow
I'm not dead and gone
I will carry on
With no fear I am here
When you feel that
I am here anew
I'm not going down
Six feet underground
I will not go down
Six feet underground


9. GANGSTER'S PARADISE

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
That everyone thinks my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
To be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You'd better watch how you're talkin' and where you're walkin'
'Cause this life will only leave you lined in chalk

Been spendin' most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spending most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Forget the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down with the hood team
These television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say?
I'm here right now, will I see tomorrow?
The way things are goin' I don't know

Tell me why are we
So blind to see
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me (Tell me!)
Been spendin' most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spending most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spendin' most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spending most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess I'm fucked
That's how I know my life is out of luck

Been spendin' most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spending most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spendin' most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spending most of life
Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Why are we
So blind to see
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me


10. ORDINARY

Autumn leaves are fading
Another year of my life passing me by
So long I have waited
For a taste of the life I thought would be mine

Just show me where to go
This place is all I know

Feeling like a change
I'm sick of watching all the colors fade
They're so ordinary
I need to get away
'Cause I don't want to waste another day
So ordinary

Every morning waking
Opening my eyes to the longing I feel inside
Watch the hours fading
Like the dreams in my mind that wither and die with time

Feeling like a change
I'm sick of watching all the colors fade
They're so ordinary
I need to get away
'Cause I don't want to waste another day
So ordinary

Can't find an open door
Crack in the city wall
A way to reach the air outside
'Cause all I'm searching for
Is just a way to feel alive
Oh, God, I need to feel alive

God I need to feel alive

Feeling like a change
I'm sick of watching all the colors fade
They're so ordinary
I need to get away
'Cause I don't want to waste another day
So ordinary

Just show me where to go
This place is all I know


11. NOTHING REMAINS (NIHIL RELIQUUM)

I watched the colors fade in you
Saw the shadow take control
And the world that we once knew
I watched it crumble and fall
I can't believe that it's over
So many things I should have done
The world is so much colder
Without the sun
Now I am nothing
And nothing can heal the pain
Of this empty feeling
Without you nothing remains
Nothing remains
It's like I died right there with you
I lost everything that day
When this life I thought I knew
Was ripped out and taken from me
(Falling)
I keep living it over
(Falling)
I don't know what I could have done
(Falling)
And still my world grows colder
Without your sun
Now I am nothing
And nothing can heal the pain
Of this empty feeling
Nothing can take it away
And now I have nothing
Since you were taken from me
I'm nothing without you
Without you nothing remains
Nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing without
Without you nothing remains
Nothing remains
Nothing remains
Nothing remains
