1. LIVING IN THE PAST

What was is no longer
The way it used to be
All things must change
But these memories are fresh
Like if they were today
Even though years have passed
If in the past I know what I know today
Things might have been different
But I have no regrets

To relieve what was
To live in the past
There's no going back
With tales of the past

Living in the future
I sit and remember
That some live on memories
But I live for today
Adventures are recalled
In the time of the past
They're still so vivid
Just like it was yesterday
Things might have been different
But I have no regrets

To relieve what was
To live in the past
There's no going back
With tales of the past

Sitting in the future
No sense of what's going on
Got to keep on moving
You gotta keep moving

Tall tales are now called history
It's just like living in the past
What I was so much younger child
Used to live for today
Thoughts about yesterday
When people weren't so self-centered
Like living today
Better wake up from your world
Now!

When I was younger things were so different
Not so complex, like living today

Better wake up from your world
And live for now
Better live for today
Better live for now
NOW!


2. CREEPY

So creepy you know she's just my type
Oh evil woman you know you give me the creeps

Her cold eyes can chill my spine
Her cold, cold hands I know the kind
A creepster with her ghoulish ways
Morbid mama, next to me she'll lay
A spinal grip so vile and nasty
She'll slither like a snake
This woman is so evil
You better stay clear

Little mistress of seduction
No need for instructions
Smart feline that uses her mind
Thoughts like hers should be a crime

Cold heart with a vengeance to hide
Pale white she walks from the dead
Her morbid taste is worth the wait
Her morbid feel is pure sex appeal

In her reaches nothing out of touch
She's a freak not asking for much

So creepy – you know she's so deep
So creepy – her heart I'll try and keep
So creepy – shrouded and pale
So creepy – an attraction chain reaction


3. BLOODLUST

Lying there in a pool of blood
Every part of her anatomy was swaying
As she lie there dead
What went through her head
When fate came ripping
I see her body lying there bleeding
The terror was still in her eyes

She's on a journey she didn't want to take
You never know when it's your time
We're all victims one time or another
To reach the final endeavour
Her flesh was art
As an artist masterpiece
I see her body lying there bleeding
Suffered did this young woman

As her eyes looked up watching
I think she's bleeding
Can someone help her
I think she's bleeding
Who is responsible
I think she's bleeding
Can someone help her
I think she's dead

She cried out for help but no one heard
She screamed out to the world
Another woman will ride again
On a journey she doesn't want to take

Can someone help her
I think she's bleeding
Can someone help
I think she's dead


4. KRYPTONITE

Hair heavenly light
That hung down around her shoulders
Electric blue
Were her eyes as they fused into mine
How the sparks did fly
Like to fourth of July when she caressed me
And like the hammer of Thor
The thunder did roar through the night
Underneath the glow
Little did I know
She had a heart of pure
Kryptonite

Now inside this man
She builds up a superman kind of ego
With a trigger
That only her kind of woman could pull
Then she aimed me at myself
And blew me off the shelf of reality
And I couldn't do nothing
Like a puppet with clipped strings I fell
And it was too late for me
Too late to see
She had a heart of pure
Kryptonite

Kryptonite
Kryptonite
Trip tonite

Kryptonite
Kryptonite
Kryptonite

Hair heavenly light
That hung down around her shoulders
Electric blue
Were her eyes as they fused into mine
How the sparks did fly
Like to fourth of July when she caressed me
And like the hammer of Thor
The thunder did roar through the night
And it was too late for me
Too late to see
She had a heart of pure
Kryptonite


5. CHANGES

Things never change
They stay the same
Revolution seems to be the way
Through the decades history repeats
Self destruction
A recurring nightmare
The change is evident

Things never progress
Time regresses
The further we go
The farther we get
If there is a cause
There is a rebel
The causes change
But the battle is the same
The change is evident
Or is it

Another chapter gets added to history
As another fool is glorified
The causes change
But the battle's the same
Once the power
The fight is in vain
The change is evident
Or is it

The outcome is destiny
The change is today
The outcome is history
The change is no way
The outcome is power
The change is to stay
The change is today
No way
No way

Change for today
Before tomorrow
Catches up with you

Change for today
Before it's too late
Change for today


6. IN THE FLESH

Billy Tate what is your fate
It's too late to hesitate

Damned from under the ground
Bound not to utter a sound

Veins are pulsing for escape
There's too much here at stake

In the flesh
Humanity is stood against
Innocent but something calling me
Torn between the right and the wrong
Bound to something
But I know not what

Bar there holding me
What am I supposed to see
I know he's there for me
Why don't you set me free

The lock is open
To those in waiting
The passage is clear to all beware
As the cycle starts to begin
Innocence sits alone once again

Bar there holding me
What am I supposed to see
I know he's there for me
Why don't you set me free


7. HYPNOTIZED

I see shades of grey
As the wind blows in the day
Nothing but black
I'm all caught up
Green with envy your eyes
As they blind me once again
Blue fills your heart
As it slowly gets ripped apart

Hypnotized
Right between the eyes
Hypnotized

Hypnotized hypno heart attack
A spell's been cast
Look into my eyes
As they draw you nearer
The force is strong
It's against your will
Summon the command
Your ego been altered
You're hypnotized again

Are you under control
In a hypnotic stage
Do all these things that you do
Even though you don't want to
Follow the leader
The game of the day
Trapped into something
No way to get out
Your destiny's been planned

Hypnotized look into my eyes
Hypnotized hear my words

When will you ever learn
When will it seep into your head
That you have the will
To make the right choices
Destiny can be reversed
Thoughts are distorted
When will you ever learn
When will it seep into your head

Hypnotized look into my eyes
Hypnotized hear my words
As they say

I see shades of grey
As the wind blows in the day
Nothing but black
I can see once again
Hypnotized
Do the brain walk
Hypnotized
Don't think for yourself
Hypnotized
With shades of grey
Hypnotized
Once again

Hypnotized
Right between the eyes
Hypnotized
Right between the eyes


8. STRANGEBOY

He's possessed
Strangeboy make a decision
He's possessed
Strangeboy make a prediction
Strange
Follow your dreams
And see what they mean
He's strange
Weird toys
Give him his joy
Driven by fascination
Lives a live of fascination

Do what's in your heart
To set you apart
Strange
Rejects a lifestyle
He tries to project
Strange
Caught in a spell time will tell
Caught in a spell time will tell

Spellbound and trances
Caught in a whirl
What's over the mountain top
Have you found it yet
Strangeboy in a strange time
Strangeboy spellbound
Strangeboy deranged
Strangeboy in a whirl
Strangeboy gone mad
I waited so long

Time and time I waste away
Am I kind of weird
Time and time I pray I may
It's something that I fear
My eyes pour the tears

He's possessed
Strangeboy something gone wrong
He's possessed
He's spellbound too long
He's strange
Edge of a knife will end his life
He's strange
I dare it's time to stay clear
Trapped in a whirl
Life is hurled
Trapped in a whirl
Life is hurled
Straight at your world


9. FORGIVE AND FORGET

The scar remains
And the trust is broken
Commitments are violated
Everyone gets awoken

Learn from your mistakes
There's a change to restore
Tear down the boundaries and barriers
That keep us at war

Didn't mean what was done
For grudges of lies committed
Time passes lige goes on
I can't forget memories linger
Temptation I've done wrong
Lost time can't be found
Feeling lust be valued
It's a black mark that never heals
Never heals
Forgive and forget
Now

Please put it behind you
I'll mend my evil ways
Flesh turned inside out
Bonebreaker feels remorse
Guilt ridden I need absolution
I beg forgive and forget


10. BLINDED

Brainwashed rules his mind
He has sight in the dark
There thrills around the corner
It's the corridor to the light
The freedom of choice is yours
Blinded can close the doors
Thoughts are at war
Dictated down to the core

Closet case to the world
Experience is your path
To search or to follow
The road is the knowledge

Struggles creep in defeats
Freedoms can't be beat
Two worlds they meet
It's closer and closer to the heat

Now is the time
To walk the line
Come and see what you find
Maybe some piece of mind

You're blind you can't see a thing
You better open your eyes

You're blind you can't see a thing
Better open those eyes
‘Cause now is the time


11. DISEASED

Medical massacre down through the ages
No one learns they just turn the pages
Personal and degrading dissection
Overturns your life in rejection

Know the facts before you get the notion
Disease overcomes the final solution
Treatment is there a cure
Therapy disguises the true antidote

Germ-free microscopic dimension
Bacteria turns illness to tension
Research ridden sickness and health
Happiness and living are worth
All the wealth

Isolation plagues the nation
Ashes and pains rattle my head
Cast out like a leper
Recuperation is the answer
Is there an answer

Some may believe
That I am diseased
But I'm nothing but flesh and bones
If I am diseased
I'm begging you please
Take me I'm yours


12. MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN

Like a phantom lurking in the dark
Ready to make his next move
On the
Midnight meat train
The air was so stale
Enough to gag anyone
On the
Midnight meat train

Subway at 34th street
Terrified at the thought of the madman
On the
Midnight meat train
As a woman yelled out like a banshee
Her voice was just like a knife through my head
On the
Meat train
Subway slaughter there's a monster on the prowl
Each step he took was torment
On the

Last stop
Last ride
It's goodbye

Fear in the heart of every woman
As the madman is on the loose
Fear in the hearts of everyone

Self-respected is gone and privacy is violated
Macabre dance terror of the madman
On the
Midnight meat train

Gauntlet of atrocities
Last horror begins
Blood was on this cheeks
Just like on your
Last stop
Last ride
It's goodbye

Personal pursuits and primitive confrontations
Psychotic cannibals on the loose
All aboard this could be your
Last stop
Last ride
It's goodbye
On the
Midnight meat train

Baffling police night after night
As the butcher steps back into sanity
The cover-up is to his extreme
As we sleep he lurks in the tunnels
All aboard could be your last stop
On your very last ride
The moral is there is one
Is not to ride – not to ride the
Midnight meat train!
