1. LORD OF THE FLIES

I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to this shores
What was meant to be is now happening

I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on the edge it feels, it makes feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality
Killing so we survive
Wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide
We've got to get away

I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong
We don't need a code of morality

I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal, the power you can feel
And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
Excited but scary to believe what we've become

Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are Lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something within us
To be Lord of the flies

Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are Lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something within us
To be Lord of the flies

Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are Lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something within us
To be Lord of the Flies


2. FORTUNES OF WAR

After the war and now that they've send us homeward
I can't help but feel that I'm on my own
No one can see just what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men who are on their way home

I'm scared for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded
So how can I face the torment alone
The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light

People say "don't worry"
Say that time's a perfect healer
That the nightmares they will come to pass

Can't hear what they're saying
I am living in my own world
And I'm feeling trance-like all the time

I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy
In the night the visions seems so real

Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You're not sure what's real anymore

Fortunes of war, fortunes of war
Fortunes of war, no pain anymore

Fortunes of war, fortunes of war
Fortunes of war, no pain anymore
Fortunes of war

Fortunes of war, fortunes of war
Fortunes of war, no pain anymore
Fortunes of war

Fortunes of war, fortunes of war
Fortunes of war, no pain anymore

Fortunes of war, fortunes of war
Fortunes of war, no pain anymore
Fortunes of war

Sometimes I wake
I feel that my spirit's broken
I wonder if I've the strength...
Carry on...
Carry on...


3. BLOOD ON THE WORLD'S HANDS

Sometimes it makes me wonder
Sometimes it makes me question
Sometimes it makes me saddened
Always it makes me angry but...

When you can see it happening
The madness that's all around you
Nobody seems to worry
The world seems so powerless to act

It's out of control
Blood on The World's hands
Each day a new toll

Another assassination
The same day, a new creation
What are they coming into
Security of a world that brings

One day another killing
Somewhere there's someone starving
Another a savage raping
Meanwhile there's someone laughing at us

It's out of control
Blood on The World's hands
Each day it goes on

Blood on The World's hands
Blood on The World's hands
Blood on The World's hands
Blood on The World's hands

Blood on The World's hands
Blood on The World's hands
Blood on The World's hands
Blood on The World's hands

Brutality and aggression
Tomorrow another lesson
Expecting another air raid
Praying for a ceasefire

They say things are getting better
No need to be complacent
There's chaos across the border
And one day it could be happening to us

It's out of control
Blood on The World's hands
It's our epitaph

It's out of control
Someone should know
Blood on The World's hands
Someone should


4. AFRAID TO SHOOT STRANGERS / THE EVIL THAT MEN DO

Lying awake at night, I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cause I'd rather go now
Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time are we partners in crime ?
When it comes to the time we'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come, thy shall be done... on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live, forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way ?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers

Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid... Afraid to shoot strangers

Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers


Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
And I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her if I could only see her now

Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
You know, you know

The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on

Circle of fire, my baptisme of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you, some day I may return
Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn

Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know

The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on

Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know

The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on

The evil... The evil... The evil that men do
The evil... The evil... The evil that men do
