1. HANK

Hank's in trouble with the girls again
He'd sworn last time that
That would be the end
But the mess he's gotten himself into
Glares at him and tells him
That he's got a chance to win
Didn't mean no harm
He fought so hard, but now he
Wants to escape it all
He knows a way to clear his head
So high and low and lonely he hits his bed

Hank he lives again
With help from his chemical friend
Hank's at peace again
But Hank how will it end?

Now he's woken from his hazy dreams
Back to life and life is still what it seems
He tries to cope, but he doesn't know how
Crying rivers as he's trying to figure it out
He's cracking up, he can't take no more
Handy chance that he works in a drug store
He grabs some pills, in his pocket they went
Now the rest of his day is from heaven sent

He's tangled up like the hank he is
He can't decide which one he wants to kiss
Which one of the misses will he miss
How will he ever sort out all of this
Hank lacks the facts
Lost his tracks doin' business
Behind their backs
But miss drink, she makes him think
Turning Hank into his own personal shrink


2. HAMMER TO THE HEART

How listen to me good
And hear me out, if you may
There's a curse within my blood
And my soul has gone away
My conscience has gone out the door
And mercy is not near
I'm rotten straight to the core
And with deadly punch, I will appear

Like a hammer to the heart
A hammer to the heart
One strike and you're gone
A hammer to the heart

I'll make the rules by which you must play
And lure you down deep
A gatherer one could say
Young hearts, I aim to keep
I am your god, but I will deceive
Lay my curse upon thee
I'll fool you into my beliefs
Until it strikes back on me

Like a hammer to the heart
A hammer to the heart
One strike and I'm gone
A hammer to the heart


3. ONKALO

We've turned our backs, soon it's hostile
We've let the darkness tuck us in
And though our tracks will force our exile
This is our own mess, we'll never win
The situation has no solution
We are but fools and soon we'll pay
The complications of our pollution
Requires tools, to face another day

The world will go down with Onkalo
Let our evil grow down with Onkalo
And even though noone will know
Still we go down with Onkalo

The cursed plan, a deadly site
That will stay hidden, 'till end of time
With bloody hands, far from light
We'll leave the riddle, an unsolved crime
Got to keep it forgotten
Such carelessness, who would forgive?
Buried deep, to slowly rot, then
Our acts of madness, we won't outlive

As we sleep, our minds get clearer
A man made hell, will kill us all

Now down deep, the end draws nearer
And we shall se, it's time to fall


4. GOODBYE REPENTANCE

Hey you there, he doesn't care
He's fed up with all the ache
So if you're near, don't shed a tear
'Cause there is no way he will break
His decision, made with precision,
to don't give a damn no more
Was for his best, so time will test
If he's cold right down to the core

He throws the madness off of his soul
Away it goes, slowly regaining control
Noone knows his oncoming sentence
But away it goes

Goodbye, goodbye repentance

Now he's going, towards knowing
How to be as cold as ice
His smile is growing, but soon it's showing
That there's only emptiness in his eyes
So this mess turns to stress
Confusion's all around
Acting careless, he is fearless
As he bangs his heart inro the ground


5. BECAUSE OF SPITE

To the altar, I have led myself again
Don't know why I bother
When I know this is the end
But I'll go
And hard will I try
Still I know
I'll just make it all die
I'll stir things up again

Why would I do it
Because of spite
Did I have the guts to go through with it
Because of spite
I pushed what's right aside
Because of spite
Social suicide
Because of spite

Call it madness
To dig for gold on sacred ground
Far from flawless
I dug deep, but dirt was all I found
So I'll go
And hard I will try
Still I know
I'll just make it all die


6. ENVYING THE DEAD

I sure know the feeling
Again it comes alive
Bitter and hopeless
Inside
And all that once was
Is blown away
And everything that is lost
We will never see again

I'm tormented in my head

I cry in pain
As I lay there envying the dead

Can't turn around now
Just can not turn away
All I see ahead now
Is cast in the darkest grey

The past's got its evil grin
Its shadow's got my trail
Tempts me into deeper sin
Doomed to fail
To insanity I've been led


7. NO MORE EXCUSES

Maybe it is time to wake up
I'm getting tired of busting my head
Got to get a hold of myself
And straighten up
But I'm losing it instead

Yeah I've tasted it
This luxury
But it's gotten to be
That it's got a hold of me
So I'll sweeten up this bitterness
And try to give up
My heartlessness

So this time
You'll be left alone
I know, I've been useless
And this time
I am on my own
There'll be no more excuses

Well I know
I need to wake up
'Cause it's all going down the drain
I'll try my best
To end this stuff
But I know it's far too easy
To fall back down again

Tired of causing watery eyes
Tired of givin'up my soul for sacrifice


8. GHOST TOWN

You're in the part of town
Where you know you shouldn't go
Again you hear the sound
It's coming at you from down below

And in the corner of your eye
The shadows start to dance
You can feel them passing by
Oh you stand no chance

So you better get going fast
Or else that breath may be your last

It's a ghost town
If I were you I wouldn't stick around
It's a ghost town
Can you see the devils' frown
Ghost town
Can you feel them crawlin'
Can you hear them calling
The sound
Of a ghost town

You're by the demon's block
You better hurry up
It's striking three o'clock
Inside your mind they are showing up
The streets are empty but you're not alone
You feel that they are around
Just a few more blocks and then it's gone
But it ties you to the ground

They're everywhere, under your skin
Struck by their curse, there's no way to win

It's a ghost town
It's a ghost town
If I were you I would not be around
The ghost town
I wouldn't go there

It's insane
In the ghost town
Oh no?!
Stay away!

It's dangerous
It's marvelous, but it's dangerous
It's not for us.
