1. I AM

(Instrumental)


2. WAKE UP SCREAMING

At 17 I had a dream, it scared me out of bed
All alone, all I own, spinning around my head
Malevolent forces, on 4 horses, calling out my name
If I wake, no mistake I'll never be the same

I... wake up screaming, I have no feelings
Am I dreaming, I... wake up screaming

Sent away, now everyday, I face another test
Penalty, my family, is now an empty nest
Open soul, no control, poltergeists invade
Product of, violent love, I welcome the parade

I... wake up screaming, I have no feelings
Am I dreaming, I... wake up screaming

Now very time I sleep, into my dreams they creep
Am I in too deep, to get away
Day and night, I hear them fight, my education pain
No respect, do I detect, invasion once again
Bad memories, flood my dreams, was I the price they'd pay
I might as well, be lost in hell, it's like hell anyway
I wake up screaming...

I wake up screaming


3. HALLOWEEN NIGHT

So you feel so safe tonight, I know something you don't know
Don't get distracted, keep your eyes on the show
We've taken over Halloween, tonight belongs to us
We bring you here, to sell you fear, and you give us all your trust

Tonight, is the bight of your screams, tonight, it's Halloween
Tonight, beware of your dreams, we see you, we scare you
No one's safe tonight... it's Halloween night!

Creeping down the alleys, into your darkest dreams
Nightmares fill your head, and nothing's as it seems
You think you know what's going on, but now you'll know the truth
The star of this horror show... tonight is you!

Screaming in fear, it's just your imagination
Holding you near, I'm your minds creation
Listen my dear, I need you to live
It's all so clear, the message that we give
You if you listen...
Tonight, in your screams, tonight, it's Halloween
Tonight, beware of your dreams...
We see you... scare you... no one's safe tonight
We know you... we'll show you... that all is not alright...
It's Halloween night!


4. THE CRUSH

Under lock and key, my heart
Uncertainty, how to make a new start
Pain and misery, no friends of mine
Yet by my side, here all the time

With what used to be, escaping me
All I need is a push...
Over the edge, inside my head
Just a victim... of the crush!

Indefinite questions, it goes on and on and on
Cynical man in the mirror... what went wrong?
Jaded, faded, invaded by the plague
Inside I hide... I've tried to make it go away...
(It never does...)

With what used to be, escaping me
All I need is a push...
Over the edge, inside my head
Just a victim... of the crush!

And so it seems, today... another bad day...
Dragged down, by myself again, not much to say
Quiet child inside, screaming for silence
Amidst the world's decay, little things attack like giants
(And I've had enough...)

With what used to be, escaping me
All I need is a push...
Over the edge, inside my head
Just a victim... of the crush!


5. EXIST

Has it ever crossed your mind, to open up your eyes?
Take a look at some one else, from the other side
Try to feel the things they feel, and do the things they do
Live with their obstacles, and it see it from their view
Some just exist...
Has it ever been your style, to give in to the urge
Of helping some one else, regardless what they deserve?
Have you ever felt so guilty, from the love you give yourself?
From being so full of you, there's no room for any one else
It will come back to haunt you...
Some day not so very far away...
You will get the chance to live, your life, their way
And feeling like a stray, asking who did you betray
You'll wonder if... anybody hears you, when you say...
I just exist... won't (you/someone) help me please...
I just exist... give me a chance and a reason to believe...
Have you ever been insane, from loss or jealousy?
Have you ever lost your way, or been too blind to see?
How can you understand, what someone's going through?
If you never take the time, to walk a mile in their shoes
Now you will know their pain...
Some day... it's not very far away...
Has it ever crossed your mind, what it's like to just exist?!


6. CANDLES

I see the candles in the windows after dark
I hear the voices, calling from deep in the park
I know that some thing's wrong, I don't know what it is
I've got this fear inside, I've never felt like this

Candles burning, their image in my mind
Their light is haunting me, I'm tempted by the fire
The candle's glow is calling me back to my home
I'm doomed to walk the halls, where evil spirits roam...

I'm in a trance tonight, I can't break this spell
I'm lost in twilight, in a place that they call hell
I can't escape the powers, of spirits holding me
I've got to take control, and set myself free...

Candles burning, their image in my mind
Their light is haunting me, I'm tempted by the fire
The candle's glow is calling me back to my home
I'm doomed to walk the halls, where evil spirits roam...

Candles burning, an image in my yes
Their light is haunting me, I'm tortured by their lies
The candle's flame is calling me back to my home
I'm scared to walk the halls, where evil spirits roam...
Beware of candles...
Evil candles...
Do you fear the candles?...


7. THE SEER

If you could see, all the things that I see
It might just change your opinion of me
I know things, you just don't want me to
And if I choose, I will tell you know who...

I am the seer look into my eyes
And you'll see your life, without the disguise
I am the one who sees into your soul
And of your life, I am still in control...
(Do you see me? I'm the seer!)

Here in the darkness and then in the light
I make you feel misery, I steal your sight
I'll enter your soul and you can't get away
Your life through my eyes... was just a mistake

I am the seer the one that you dread
Because if you see me, you'll end up dead
I'm with you in heaven, I'm with you in hell
The seer is watching and all is not well...
(Do you see me? Can you hear me???)

I am the seer look into my eyes
And you'll see your life, without the disguise
I am the one who sees into your soul
And of your life, I am still in control...
(Do you see me? I'm the seer!)

I am the seer the one that you dread
Because if you see me, you'll end up dead
I'm with you in heaven, I'm with you in hell
The seer is watching and all is not well...
(Do you see me? Can you hear me???)
(I'm the seer... and I see you!!!)


8. THE END AND THE BEGINNING

(Instrumental)


9. NOBODY'S HOME

The lights are low in this creepy house, and demons roam the halls
The dust is thick, the full moon's out and spiders climb the walls
Blood has dried on the carpet, and the spirits start to sing
They don't understand why no one answers, when the door bell starts to ring...

No one's home, they're all dead, people murdered in their beds
Hear the children, screaming out 2(hear the silence scream out loud)
They won't be coming out (any more/tonight)
There's nobody home...

Ancient halls and old brick walls, hide the night within
All the fools and the masks they wear, another funeral begins
A bible that lays on the floor, opened to page 102
A message had been hidden there, another warning for me and you

The lights are low in this creepy house, and demons roam the halls
The dust is thick, the full moon's out and spiders climb the walls
Blood has dried on the carpet, and the spirits start to sing
They don't understand why no one answers, when the door bell starts to ring...

No one's home, they're all dead, people murdered in their beds
Hear the children, screaming out 2(hear the silence scream out loud)
They won't be coming out (any more/tonight)
There's nobody home...

Nobody's home...
Nobody's home...
Nobody's home...


10. RAGE

Some people say I depress, words of mine bringing them down
What about how I feel... or don't I count?
I feel rage...

Rage against... this hand I've been dealt
Rage against... my wasting life
Rage against... pain I have felt
Rage cuts like a knife... what are you gonna do when (I / you) feel

Sometimes I wish I could still write, of happier times and love
But what I have seen with my eyes, has forced me to rise above
Now I feel rage...

You say that I bring you down, what goes around, comes around
Now it's my turn to describe, the things that are wrong in my life
Why I feel rage...

War, lies, hunger... foolish pride, makes you suffer
Hatred, greed, pain... can't take it anymore...
I feel rage...


11. WAYS OF MAN

Ask me a question, I'll tell you a lie
Say hello, and I'll say goodbye
Beg me for pity, I'll laugh in your face
Call me a hero, I'll be your disgrace

Livin' by, the ways of man
I keep screwing up, again and again

I will sing you a song, to bring you near
I make you scream my name, then I'll disappear
Fight for my honor, I'll quit you too
Doing everything, exactly opposite of you

Livin' by, the ways of man
I keep screwing up, again and again

You promise love, I... spit in your eye
You give me proof, still I will deny
But if you bring me pain, I start to fall in love
Put me through hell, I can't get enough

Livin' by, the ways of man
I keep screwing up, again and again

Start me on fire, I'll put it out
Whisper in my ear, then listen to me shout
Can't get it right, no matter what I do
Guess I'll just be me, and keep fucking up for you!!

Livin' by, the ways of man
I keep screwing up, again and again
Livin' by... the ways of man!!!


12. HEAD AGAINST A WALL

Screaming, and you still don't hear me dying for your dollar
You couldn’t see me, if I was standing right there in front of you
I am!!!
I'm half a man any more
Isn’t that enough for you
Fighting my internal war
And hating my bad attitude
Wake... up... again today... pray for change...
I... hate... the way it feels, when... I... get... this... way
Too close to insane...
And I bang my head against a wall
Full of bruises, (can't you/so you can) see my pain
For you I'm black-n-blue, bleeding for you too
My head against a wall...
(My head against a fuckin' wall... my head...)!
You could read me like a book, so why do you refuse to look
I'm hidden here amidst the blight, please be my escape tonight
I play for you, I prey for you
I live for you, I lie for you
I cry, satisfy, I'd even die for you...


13. COMING TO LIFE

I am not the man, you think that I should be
I am... what I am... take it or leave it, I am me!
Fire in my heart, desire in my veins
And from the very start, I remain the same
Since coming to life...

I am... tired of people who... tell me how to be, and what to do
Like sheep they follow, life so hollow, get in line, we'll pull you
I am not a sheep! The wolf is what I am
This hunger that's inside of me...
Feed it if you can...

I'm coming to life, born again, born again
I'm coming back to life, shedding my skin, revealing who's within
(Watch me... I'm coming to life...)

Flavour of the month, just isn’t who I am
Am I the only one, not afraid to make a stand
Go ahead and criticize, come on knock me down to size
I'll be fighting for my pride, with a fire burning deep inside

I'm coming to life, born again, born again
I'm coming back to life, shedding my skin, revealing who's within
(Feel me coming to life...)


14. SIN

(Instrumental)


15. GO YO HELL (ALICE COOPER COVER)

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged

You can go to Hell

For gambling and drinking alcohol constantly
For making us doubt our parents authority
For choosing to be a living obscenity

You can go to Hell

You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick

You'd poison a blind man's dog and steal his cane
You'd gift wrap a leper
And mail him to your Aunt Jane
You'd even force-feed a diabetic a candy cane

You can go to Hell

You're something that never should have happened
You even make your Grandma sick

For criminal acts and violence on the stage
For being a brat
Refusing to act your age
For all of the decent citizens you've enraged

You can go to Hell


16. FIRE STILL BURNS

The brightest light, burns the dark away, but only for a glance
Black of night, again invades, and the shadows they enhance
This world of shame, life of pain, distortion of the truth
Blink and you will miss, a single chance is this, to be witness to the proof
Fire still burns, soul still yearns, one still learns... fire still burns!
Feel this heat, my demons eat, I can't keep them at bay
When I ignite, this awesome sight, a feast for them, their prey
Burning bright, the hottest light, flash and fade away
But did they see, at all with me, what burns for them this day?


17. THE BATTLE

If your life is worth living, stand up and raise your voice
If your cause is worth fighting for, stand up for your choice
Those who keep their silence, are crushed by the mighty force
Of those who hold the keys to success, and then they slam the door,
(Unless we march, into...)

Battle... stand up and shout your song
Raise up your (fist / guns) into the air
Before your dreams are gone...

Too many people, too afraid, to be proud of what they believe
Satisfied to watch it die, and go with out what he need
I'm not afraid to stand up and fight, for what is in my heart
Dreams too precious to ignore, one chance to play my part
(and I will fight for you in...)

Battle... stand up and shout your song
Raise up your (fist / guns) into the air
Before your dreams are gone...

Warmachines engulf the street, fighting has begun
Strongest man survives, the weak die one by one
If you listen you will hear, as silence fills the air
War becomes a memory, and you and I were their
(To fight the...)

The battle, defend your dreams and carry on
Raise up your voice, into the air, or your freedom...
It will be gone!!!


18. FIGHTING WORDS

I want, I take what I want
I hate, I kill what I hate
I need, so fuck you and your desire
I play with you in fire

I see, you are blind
When I hurt inside, you will feel my pain
I win, you lose
I rape, I use and abuse

Love and hate... are fighting words

I shoot, you die, I win the game
Total death!!! You disappear I kill again
Media overkill, makes me a superstar
But not you, you're where you are dead!!

Black and white are fighting words

Who cares anybody, anyone?
More lies, with all the power, we have won
Who lives, who dies, when war is done
Sympathy!? What is that? The feeling's gone

Give and take are fighting words

You want, you take what you want
You hate, you kill what you fucking hate
You greed, you ignore, my desire
And now you'll play, with me in fire

Me and you are fighting words!!!
