1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. SKIN O' MY TEETH

I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see.

[Chorus]
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o'my teeth.

My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser in my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see in time
The white lights a train
Bearing down on me.

[Chorus]

I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That that doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So, tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh to close the drawer.

[Chorus]


3. HANGAR 18

Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars.

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much.

Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended State of cryogenics
Selective amnesia's the story
Believed foretold but who'd suspect
The military intelligence
Two words combined that can't make sense.

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much.


4. WAKE UP DEAD

I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed
I know if I wake her
I'll wake up dead.

I wonder, will she find out
About the other, other lover
Diana.

Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead, and buried
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead.


5. RECKONING DAY

I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch
And how I make you wanna scream in pain
And feel your life is just a losing game.

I like the way that you let me in
The way you look when the walls cave in
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop.

I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there's nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies.

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning day.

I like the things that you try to fake
And your face when I see you break
And that you say you will pray for me
You realize you are prey for me.

I like the way you stay on attack
No matter what, I keep coming back
And how you try to hold me down
But you end up driven to the ground.


6. ANGRY AGAIN

The more of you that i inspect
The more of me i see reflect
The more i try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips.

But when i seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities.

Engaged in crime i grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow.

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged.

Engaged in crime i grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry.

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away
The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face.

Association that i choose
Game i inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture it's jaw to let me be
A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air.

Engaged in crime i grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again.

Engaged in crime i grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow.

8. A TOUT LE MONDE

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied.

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all.

A tout le monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partit
There are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free.

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred.


9. IN MY DARKEST HOUR

In my hour of need
Ha you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand.

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me.

Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of.

You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too.

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong.

But oh how I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head raise your face your eyes
Tell me who you think you are, who ?

I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God send me on my way.

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, alone, so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain.

Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha, ha, bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away.

In my darkest hour.


10. TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES

I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is trouble
I'm coming in for the kill
And you know I will.

Set the ball A-Rollin
I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences
My boxcar life O' style
My thinking is derailed
I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences
There ain't no turning back.

No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And I play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west.


11. SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION

You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...

[Chorus]
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony
Of Destruction.

Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes.

[Chorus]

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall.

[Chorus]


12. TORNADO OF SOULS

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up, I wanted to cry
Bu dammit, this well's gone dry
Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power, just no more games
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away.

You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death
Not from the years, not from the use
Not from the tears, just self abuse.

Who's to say what's for me to say... be... do
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me
The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light.

Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel
I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death.

14. HOLY WARS... THE PUNISHMENT DUE

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand.

Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand.

The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be in your homelands.

Holy wars

Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than thou could be messenger of God.

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die.

They killed my wife, and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...last mistake!
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
Thinkin'it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings.


15. PEACE SELLS

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.

What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be president, of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line,
But, it better work this time.

Can you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells...,
Peace,
Peace sells.
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
Peace sells..., but who's buying?
Peace sells..., but who's buying?

No, peace sells.


16 ANARCHY IN UK

Right now
I am an anti-Christ
And I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want, but I know how get it
I want to destroy, possibly?

'Cause I want to be anarchy, no dog's body.

Anarchy for the U.S.A.
It's coming sometime, it may be
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic light
Your future dream is a shopping spree.

'Cause I want to be anarchy, in the city.

Of many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest
I use the enemy
I use anarchy.

'Cause I want to be anarchy, it's the only way to be.

Is this the M.P.L.A.?
Is this the U.D.A.?
Is this the I.R.A.?
I thought it was the U.S.A., or just another country
And other cunt-like tendencies
'Cause I want to be anarchy,'cause I want to be
Anarchy, you know what I mean ?

'Cause I want to be anarchist, again I'm pissed

Destroy!


17. PARANOID

Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my Mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify.

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah.

I need someone to show me the things in life that
I can't Find.
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be Blind.

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh
And I will Cry.
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal.

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late.
