1. FATHER JONES

A man dressed in black
A cross around his neck
When evil would approach him
He turned his head and wept

Soon enough things would change
Pleasure or financial gain
Some old story, turn the page
Things were getting strange

It became an obsession
The need to control

Father Jones
Father Jones
Father Jones
Father Jones...you've gone insane
It became an obsession
This need to control
When evil would possess him
The power takes his toll
It cost him his mind
Became an evil man
His sanity behind
Evil wins again

All my children come with me
To immortality
I'm the one you worship now
Come and take my vow
One evening they gathered around
Our new world has been found
Now it's time to leave this place
'Cause of those who lost their faith


2. SAY GOODBYE

No way in, no way out
It's time to dream about
What I've learned, what I've earned
There is no doubt
Where I've been, what I've seen
I can not believe
The tragedy, the reality
Of terminal disease
Time...to receive

Time, time to fly, say goodbye
Leave life behind
Into death I lose my breath
Into nothingness
Float away in dismay I have no regrets
Ball of light shines so bright
My soul is drawing near
I realize, I'm mesmerized
As angels appear
Enter...with no fear

This new world is my domain
Like time caught in a picture frame
Free from pain, free from shame
Jesus Christ is my claim to fame


3. INSIDE OUT

Spread the word or have you heard
There's a new disease in town
Taking lives in disguise
It will take you down
Black or white, in despite
It has no fear
Killing you as it will do
It sheds no tears

Material world is not for thee
I can take life seriously
All the pain and misery it awaits anxiously

I'm standing outside
Looking inside, looking out
Open your eyes and realize
There's a lot to be learned
Take a chance on bad romance
You ought to be concerned
See it here, see it there
You can see it everywhere
How sad it seems, it's on TV
That's all I can bear


4. FEAR

No matter how hard you try
You'll never stop me
I'm a product of time
I'll shatter all your dreams
How sad it seems
To hear your silent screams

Call me a psychopath
Cringe when you hear me laugh
You hate to see my evil grin
As I'm moving near
Your body is entombed with fear
Something you will never forget
I'm in your mind
I'm always on your path
That's how I bide my time
I enjoy submission
Don't need your permission
Gonna leave your conscience behind

Wasting your time
Discerning their minds
What's the point of it all
Unlikely heroes
Made into legends
Why do they stand so tall


5. EASY LIVING

Strange things happen
When you open your eyes
Life is never easy
Now you realize
It's been said
Time and time again
You take the good
You take the bad
Just take it
With a grin...so

Stop complaining
Life is so bad
Constant straining
It's not always so bad

Easy living don't exist
It ain't around no more
Everybody else's life
Seems easier than yours
You've got a lot to learn
If you think you're the only one
You think something's wrong
Because you're not having fun
Wake up Monday morning
Life is but a dream
If it doesn't happen right away
Makes you wanna scream
Day in and day out
Same old song and dance
Nothing cool or interesting
Happens just by chance...so


6. HEY YOU

What are you thinking
Am I from another world
Am I intimidating
When I speak am I heard
I'm so tired of playing
Someone else's game
I'm not a fool
I'm not a liar
And no, I'm not ashamed

You say you take the chances
I don't care what you do
You say you've got the answers
I got a question for you

Hey you, who am I
Who are you to criticize
Hey you, who am I
I don't want your pity
You must be thinking
Of someone else
Listen to me, hear me out
You don't know what I'm about
I have feelings,
I have pain I'm just like you
We're all the same
You tell me lies, criticize
You've got to change

We all have dreams we follow
Mine led me here
These dreams became so hollow
My dreams never disappear


7. THE LOST

Someone's only child
Lost, brought up all alone
Never being taught
He just learned it on his own
Killing just for fun
'Cause in the movies it's a trick
He'll be back for the leading role
In another flick...yeah

It's so hard to see
This is all I know
Why now do you decide to tell me
Right from wrong

Living's what I see
Nevermind me
You never ask me why
So how can I be free
Living in the Back streets
Always running for your life
Finally came to realize
You'll never get out alive
Better side with who is right
Or who you think might win
After all who can see
The beginning to the end


8. D.O.A.

Living my life
No fear or doubt
That I would live
Till the end of time
With that cocaine demon
Running thru my head
They told me to stop
I wondered why
They told me boy there's
Nothing we can do
I'm afraid your time is gone
We've done countless tests
I must confess
Your heart its work is done
It might be hours, it might be days
I'm afraid we can not say
Lie back now re-live your life
You're gonna die today

Take away the pain
It's driving me insane
I don't want to see tomorrow
Body's thrown on ice
Nothing will suffice
To stop this never ending sorrow
Why me, why me now my life has just begun
My mind cries out in fear and pain
But they say I'm the lucky one
All that money and time was spent
To stop bad times like this
As I lie here counting time I only have one wish
Take me from this evil mess
Everyone calls life
The pain of waiting for that time
Cuts me like a knife
My mind goes black
From my heart attack I'm going but I guess it's best
As I lie here counting time I only have one wish
