1. BACK IN THE ZONE

Alive and dreaming fast
I look around and visualize
Out there is the reason
For what I am, there's no denying

Rhyme, is the mirror
That shines into my eyes
The designs get my attention
I'll come around just wait a while

Back in the zone
I lose myself
I'm coming home
But no light can take me there
Back in the zone
I lose myself
You're to blame
I see you everywhere

The designs they get my attention
And I'm wandering, wandering…
Searching for you.
I'll come around just wait a while
Afloat from far far away!

All my life
I've been waiting for you
An image, that lingers on
All your life
You've been praying
To break free of these confines

Gentle is sweet surrender
With every sign
I'm coming close
You call my name
I stop in wonder
Cos you've been here
All the while


2. HAND IN HAND

One for all, all for one
The wheel and the colors
Spell Freedom
Blood that spilt, dried in the sun
With bricks and bones
This Nation was done

My country, my only land
The universe in a grain of sand
There's nowhere, like where I am
All my people, go hand in hand…

Darkness fell the test of time had begun
With a will to survive
It was soon undone
Pride and glory of father to son
The vision that was has now become

Politics a new adversary
The promises they make and the masses they forsake
Not one moment will I wait to watch the tears
Helpless eyes hoping for answers to appear

There's one person with the might to end it all
Silently awaiting the final call
Don't look around you it's within that you will find
Spirit of the brave men, the sons of the motherland


3. YOU'RE BLOODY RIGHT

So you wanna, break all the ties
Feel free inside, explore this life
So you'd rather ignore the cries
Leave the truth aside and walk the mile
Will you, show me the pain
Or bank on refrain, conceal it again
It's so hard to accept the blame
And live thru the shame, just take it untamed

I am your magic
Your moment of truth
The conscience that pricks
Distraction that soothes

I love your misery
I'll show you the way
May God bless you now
While you tread astray

You 're bloody…right!

Everybody has a role to play
Every time in every way
When you ignore it and walk away
A hole you create and fall into one day
Will you be crushed as a fly
By tricks of the mind and hope to rewind
It's so hard to lose at your game
Your impeccable frame, now shattered remains

Ooooo every day is a fight, a fight
Oooooo until the day I die, the day I die

You 're bloody…right!


4. DUFF STEREO GROOVE

Take the time, to analyze
Take the time, to criticize
When I turn around
Your tongue wags the lies
And we're great again
When I look you in the eyes

Your scum-filled-ness is making me mad
Oh how I wish that you were dead
I seldom check, your faithfulness for me
So you bite my trust and come back
Sucking up to me

Without you in my stride,
My world is so complete
With you in my stride
My world sinks endlessly

Open your mind
I'll show you what you'll find
Warped reality, lowlife underlined
Look carefully what I hold in my hand
An instrument to spill
Your guts across the land

Endlessly...constantly...
We all can see...


5. LONESTAR

Lonestar how you shine thru the night
Tells me there's something deep inside
Lonestar shine your light on me
Enlighten me but from afar

Lonestar I wish I knew you well
Can tell you're feeling hell
Persevere thru these killing times
Cos endurance you will find

Use your stupendous powers
To pacify the spears
That arise from another
Mystifier, the mystique fire

Lonestar be friends with the signs
That fill the sky and rule my every line
Don't run away when the Sun glares at you
Cos endurance you will find

Your radiating arms
Reach out in the dark
Your crying eyes
The dew of the morn

Lonestar I know why you've come to me
Traveled the galaxies
Isn't it for the dark light
That I have within me

Lonestar…


6. ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

Today you saved the world
Tomorrow who knows
If you're still remembered
For the greatness you have shown

The price of sheer good will
Ain't nothing at all
How much will it take
To get the writings on the wall

Out there is a cruel place
People with a changing face, oh yeah
No matter what you've said or done
In the end, we're all alone anyway

Only the good die young
Only heroes are unsung
Only the good die young
Another photo frame
On a cold, old wall is hung

Fend for yourself
Forget about the rest
Don't heed to the calls
That way is an endless fall

Take pride in who you are
There're some who understand
Like an oasis
In a waste, wasteland

Out there is a cruel place
You'd disappear without a trace, oh yeah
Watch your step, follow you heart
In the end, we're all alone anyway

Questions, in my mind
Reasons, are hard to find


7. TRUE ALTER

My day started at seven
Woke up with a sigh
When I got there, I finally gave em
Some stupid alibi
This stress of meeting deadlines
Is making me die
Wanna catch that smoky fun-flight
Drop out of the sky

One alternative to consider
Last alternative, true alter

Uneasy situations
Push me off the ledge
About the backlog on my desktop
Shove it like I said
I'm headed to a sleaze bar
Got a dime and time to spare
I'm gonna drink up till my head drops
Into a pool of cigarettes

Here we go…
Make amends in life
Recommend a strike
…to the head

Coming back to cruel-life
Release out thoughts in my mind
I'm gonna bring out
All that I stand for
Empowered all over
No-man's-kind

Shred away…

Found my alter
There's no other
The unseeable master
My True Alter


8. FOREVER

As I wake up
To this life of misery
I realize my dreams
Were so untrue
Assured at all times
By recurring atrocity
This pain I know
I'll never pull thru

Feel so alone
In this world of so many
They lay the thorns
In the way to my destiny
Then there you were
My guiding light
Next thing I know
Everything's alright

I want you forever
Come to me sooner not later
Keep this in your heart
That you're the one I need
Don't tell me this will never
Be a possibility
Cos if you feel
It's that strong
Soon it'll be reality

Now I awake
To the days I wanted to see
Storms are gone
And storms will just never be
You and me we got a lot to do
The pain will disappear
And life will shine thru


9. ANTHEM

(Instrumental)


10. PAY DAY BLUES

Pay day
Jubilation once again
Pay day
Another heartbreak
Around the bend
Before you know it
I'm a pauper once again

9 to 5
I'm working up a sweat
9 to 5
Gotta settle for what I get
Watch out, watch out
You ain't seen me
By night just yet
(bet u do)

To my surprise
I'm only worth
The money I carry
To my surprise
Only worth the
Money she can marry
Surprise, surprise
I ain't giving you no more
(better believe it)

(talking about the Pay day blues)
