1. RAISING FEAR

Hide
Revived the pace He's got your number
With all your peers you're going down
Rabid Heady instinct
Ransacked and can't be found
Skulk inside the shadow
The concious mind won't let go
No one hears you
Then you disappear
Warn with a threat

Bow, down here
Cause the saint's Raising Fear

Everything has gone haywire
A sneak attack is going down
Bringer of bad news
Has come to spoil your pleasant mood

No one hears you
Then you disappear
Warn with a threat

Bow, down here
Cause the saint's Raising Fear
I said, bow, down here
Cause the saint's Raising Fear

Rebuilt your face you've got to wonder
Why all your fears are still around
Rubbed the wrong way
Ranked one way
Here to control your life

No one hears you
Then you disappear
Warn with a threat

Bow down here
Cause the saint's Raising Fear
I said bow down here
Cause the saint's Raising Fear
Raising Fear, Raising Fear
Raising Fear, Raising Fear


2. SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL

Yeah two feets they come a creepin'
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are laying naked
Creeper thinks he got nothin' to lose
So, he creeps up into this house yeah
And unlocks the door
And as a man's reaching for his trousers,
Shoots him full of thirty-eight holes
It's the Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's so blue and cold
Ain't good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in the hole

Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey
And playin' poker on a losin' night
And pretty soon Ol' Jim starts a-thinkin'
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
So big Jim commence to fightin'
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Big Jim done pull his pistol
And shot his friend right between the eyes

It's the Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's so blue and cold
Ain't good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in the hole

I'm gonna tell you what you
Can do with it too
Hand guns are made for killin'
They ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump them people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some ol' fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you or me

It's the Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's so blue and cold
Ain't good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in the hole

It's the Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's so blue and cold
Ain't good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in the hole

Saturday Night Special
It's the Saturday Night Special
It's the Saturday Night Special


3. OUT ON A LIMB

Bureaucratic crap
Can't keep me humble
Money minded saps
Are takin' a tumble
Lies
Every word becomes a lie, lie
Lies
All the words you speak are bugging me

Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain
Out on a limb
With no reply

Heard about your trip
In the Bahamas
Wrote and sent you a tape
But you don't want to bother

Lies
Every word becomes a lie, lie
Lies
All the words you speak are bugging me

Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain
Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain

On board I ride this world
It maes me wait
You don't say

Unspoken robots seniles
9 to 5'er make me a style
Give me a break

Lies, lies, lies
Bugging me
Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain
Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain
Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain
Out on a limb
With no reply
Brain, pain
Brain, pain, brain, pain
Brain, pain, brain, pain
Brain, pain, brain, pain
Brain, pain


4. ISOLATION

In time we fly In time we die
Oh--Oh--Oh
Know what it feels to be lonely
Don't know how it feels to be free
Reacting wild, some moody child
Don't know what's in store for me
Oh--Out in the cold--Isolation
Out on my own--Isolation
Out all alone

Up go the golden mast
Float out to sea at last
Roamed a thousand miles
Still lonesome child
But my ship is comin' in

Oh--Out in the cold--Isolation
Out on my own--Isolation
Out all alone

It's my test No fight with myself I ain't wrong
It's my quest A life with myself I am gone

Oh yea Isolation
Oh yea Isolation
Out in the cold Isolation
Out on my own Isolation
Out in the cold Isolation
Out on my own

Isolation Out in the cold
Isolation Out on my own

Isolation Out in the cold
Isolation Out on my own

Isolation Out in the cold
Isolation Out on my own


5. CHEMICHAL EUPHORIA

Mirror, mirror
Is on the shelf
Found another way
To ruin and waste my health
Took to the flame
Put the blade away
Just cut my lifeline
Quickly in half today
Chemical euphoria
I'm about to crack
Mass hysteria
Won't get off my back
Chemical euphoria
I'm about to crack
Mass hysteria
Speeds my heart attack

When it rains it pours
And man I'd say
Looks like it's time
To build an arc today
Absorb me to a pleasant void
Somewhere temptation
Can't link it's hand to destroy

Chemical euphoria
I'm about to crack
Mass hysteria
Won't get off my back
Chemical euphoria
I'm about to crack
Mass hysteria
Speeds my heart attack
The heart attack

Addicted and there's no release
Addicted won't you help me please
Oh how the road bends
Off the deep end

Mirror, mirror
Is on the shelf
Can't find satisfaction
Til I help myself
Took to the flame
Put the blade away
Here come the lookout
What a price to pay

Chemical euphoria
I'm about to crack
Mass hysteria
Won't get off my back
Chemical euphoria
I'm about to crack
Mass hysteria
Speedin' up the heart attack

Chemical euphoria
Chemical euphoria
Chemical euphoria


6. CRISIS OF LIFE

Intruder alert continues to flirt
And stagger and trip up my life
The sinister thoughts unfairly rots
My brain can't put up a fight
Oh the nightmare
Can it be put to an end
The fact is I know I'm not dreaming again
Steel on my skin
Oh carve with that knife

Crisis of life
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life
Carving my mind
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life

Mentally, Physically draining my skull
Of every thought entering (how)
Feelin' just like a voodoo doll
About to be struck by a pin
Oh the threshold comes to a staggering halt
Even though the guilty don't know it's his fault

Steel on my skin
Oh carve with that knife

Crisis of life
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life
Carving my mind
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life

Oh the knifes dug in
Carving my life
Oh the life is him
Overflowing amount of impatience

Crisis of life
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life
Carving my mind
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life
Crisis of life
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis of life
Carving my mind
I'm falling, I'm falling
Crisis a crisis of life
I'm falling, I'm falling Crisis of life
I'm losing it, Crisis of life
Crisis of life


7. FROZEN WILL

(Instrumental)


8. LEGACY

Millions of years ago
Utopian life arose
Through my prolific eyes
Watched my equals grow
To a mess
They failed the test
But life was already conceived
Nothing he could retreive
Rolled out a second batch
And found they could repeat
Through a storm
I must reform
A Legacy was made to warn man
The Legacy
Has risen to warn again

Forty days of rain
Washed the ill away
Pairs of all living things
Stepped on ground to stay
Multiply
The land is dry
A Legacy
was made to warn man
The Legacy
Has risen to warn again

A Legacy
Was made to warn man
The Legacy
Has risen to warn again
Hear the voice--Hear the voice

Noah cried he said
Breathe the air
But learn from my life time
Be aware
Prepare

Wrote down these special words
In hope they would be read
People of modern day
Can often be misled
Circumstance
We've got a chance

A Legacy
Was made to warn man
The Legacy
Has risen to warn again
A Legacy was made to warn man
The Legacy has risen to warn again
Hear the voice--Hear the voice


9. HUMAN VULTURE

Daylight, lie asleep
I conserve desire
As I refuel the fire
Teethbites, in your neck
You become the gravy
Sufficed, money bet
Your last words were, "Save me"
May day, Pay day

Live, human vulture lives
Cannibal
Out, out of the darkened mist
Cannibal

Another door's unlocked again
Easy means
I must disguise myself
To fill my veins
Keep that bloody stake away
Crosses burn my eyes
I plan to live another hundred years
Before I say goodbye

May day, Pay day

Live, human vulture lives
Cannibal
Out, out of the darkened mist
Live human vulture lives
Cannibal
Out, out of the darkened mist
Cannibal

May day, Pay day

Patiently I wait
Entice with the bait
Women can't resist
Eternal bliss

Stalking, once again
My body needs a refill
Surprise, you are next
The only sound is a shrill

Live, human vulture lives
Cannibal
Out, out of the darkened mist
Live, human vulture lives
Cannibal
Out, out of the darkened mist
Cannibal
Live human vulture lives


10. BOOK OF BLOOD

Voted in I'm just the spokesman here
A robot I'm not I feel the same fears
Pressure on my back and I must respond
Say the word and I'll be gone
I'm gone
I say attack while the world is trembling
Then get criticized cause we felt the sting
An indecisive mind cannot be a judge
Stand by your fighting words
Your words

Everybody is a Book of Blood
Subverting society with a magic touch
Well I refuse to engage
Don't condemn the judgement of another
Cause it differs from your own
You may both be wrong

Pressure on my back and I must respond
Say the word and I'll be gone
Gone, I'm gone

No end
No friend
No end
Defend
God send


11. TERROR

Many years of fighting
For the cause
Religion
Seperates the law
Loyal man bomb in his hand
Proudly he stands
Sacred plot
Innocent shot
Crazy patriots

Terror
This is war
Terror
Feel the sword
Terror
Here's the score
Terror
This is my war

Many years of chaos
I believe
Drawn out war
For centuries

C4 package the mourn
Silent reward
Purity is slayed
Form of repay
Merited praise

Terror
This is war
Terror
Feel the sword
Terror
Here's the score
Terror
This is my war

I fight for belief
My duty is complete

Raining down
Loyal man bomb in his hand
Proudly he stands
Purity slayed
Form of repay
Merited praise

Terror
This is war
Terror
Feel the sword
Terror
Here's the score
Terror
This is my
Terror,Terror, Terror, Terror


12. UNDERDOGS

Yea your riches have finally reached an end
What you call substance
I wouldn't recommend
You didn't gain the strendth that lies within
I'm here to snatch your soul
the faithful ones don't pretend
Don't want to be some hero
You can bet your ass
I don't give a damn
Never did deny I was human
I am what I am

Underdogs Underdogs
Underdogs Underdogs

Yea I'm tired of you sneering at the top
Flaunting green paper items you just bought
When ability is highly overcast
I'll stick to my vow to make sure that you don't last

Don't want to be some hero
You can bet your ass
I don;t give a damn
Never did deny I was human
I am what I am

Underdogs Underdogs
Underdogs Underdogs

Out to fill my quest
No contest for the rest
Nothing left undone
The lame will fall from number one

Hell your riches have finally reached an end
What you call substance
I wouldn't recommend
You didn't gain no strength that lies within
I'm here to snatch your soul the faithful ones don't pretend

Don't want to be some hero
You can bet your ass
I don't give a damn
Never did deny I was human
I am what I am

Underdogs Underdogs
I am what I am Underdogs
Underdogs Underdogs
I am what I am Underdogs
Underdogs
Underdogs
Underdogs
Underdogs
