1. (WORLDS APART) THE DESIRE

When it's dark
Do you hear the sound of the voices?
When it's light do you think
You're safe from me?
I am here hiding in the shadows
Do you fear? I hide where you can't see

I can touch your nightmares
Your dreams, your fantasies
I can make you want me
With an urge of ecstasy

When it's light I'm always
Most uncomfortable
When it's dark I'm at home as I could be
You can't believe that I'm trying to do this
Do you fear I'll steal your thoughts
And I'll steal your dreams

I can touch your psyche
Your thoughts and your desires
I will make you beg me
With the conscious of a liar

And when you reach out again
Your thoughts will be of me
I'll infect your soul
Throughout eternity


2. MASTER OF THOUGHT

I heard the things you said today
Of how you want me to die
You can't kill what cannot be slain
Confused your own reasons why

Blind by power you don't understand
Try to evade the far reaching
Hand of doom
Playing mind games
With the master of thought, you fool

Clouds shroud the horizon for you
Holding onto things you don't deserve
Renowned as you are in shadows of past
Step aside before you get yourself hurt

Blind by power you don't understand
Try to evade the far reaching
Hand of doom
Playing mind games
With the master of thought, you fool

You think you know it all
You think you have the password
You haven't lived your life
But you think you have the answer
Your ignorance is bliss
In the game of life you play
Perhaps these words will hurt you
But I don't care anyway


3. IM THE ONE

I'm not a saint, I'm not a sinner
Here in the middle of testimony
I hear and feel the things you're sayin'
Need no excuses to justify me

I'm the one that rules my life
I'm the one that pulls the strings
I'm the one, my only master
I'm the one that changes things

So you try to force your way on me
Will you cry when I refuse you?
What you think means nothing to me
You are wrong and I will dispute you

I'm the one that you desire
I'm the one; dictator; king
I'm the one, the one true master
I'm the one, I'm everything

You look with regret on the face
Of this monster that you've created
I see the sweat and nervousness
Cast off your eyes, blinded by the envy of me

I'm the one that you desire
I'm the one; dictator; king
I'm the one, the one true master
I'm the one, I'm everything

I'm the one that rules my life
I'm the one that pulls the strings
I'm the one, my only master
I'm the one that changes things

I'm the one that you desire
I'm the one; dictator; king
I'm the one, the one true master
I'm the one, I'm everything


4. HATRED

I know now I've dealt with the fact that I'm alone
Support from my best friend left me lonely in my soul

Those evil things they said to me
Cut me like knives straight to my being

Never mind the letters, never mind the filth
That you said about me when I needed you the most
Tried to break my soul, came to kick me when I'm down
Spit jealousy into my face as you knocked me to the ground

I am not the victim that you thought I'd be
I will let it eat you, unfounded hatred of me

You've always looked down your nose at me
From the pedestal that you only see
You will only see
You will only see
You will only see

You never wanted me to be
Anymore than trash upon the street

I'm pleased I disappoint you, for I know how you must feel
Hatred is an awful thing; it's your soul that it will steal
And don't you send an answer or a sorry apology
Just fade into your black heart
And forget that you knew me


5. WALLS OF JERICHO

Welcome to the arrival of
The champion you desire
I unified the title
With me heart and inner fire

Face me, I'll take it
Know me, I'll say it
If you aren't careful you will face
The walls of jericho

I've beaten rocks and rattlesnakes
Both in the same night
Whenever I step through the ropes
You know you'll see a fight

Face me, I'll take it
Know me, I'll say it
If you aren't careful you will face
The walls of jericho

I take on all comers
Doesn't matter large or small
Hit them with the lionsault
And then I'll beat them down

Face me, I'll take it
Know me, I'll say it
If you aren't careful you will face
The walls of jericho

Face me, I'll take it
Know me, I'll say it
If you aren't careful you will face
The walls of jericho


6. APPROVAL

I've walked a mile within his shoes
Spent my whole life in his shadow
He's not everything that he may seem
I was a victim of naivety

When I was younger
I looked to his face and pray he would approve
Always met me with a scowl

Soon I learned that I am my best friend
I only search for self-approval
Mine is a different path than his
Each went our own direction

When I was younger
I'd look to his face and pray he would approve
I am my own man now

See approval, know approval, seek approval

When I was younger
I'd look to his face and pray he would approve
I am my own man now

See approval, know approval, seek approval


7. ASMODEUS

Lasting for millenia, you can't turn it away
It's a part of human nature, we see it every day
Hypocrites make it a habit, as do thieves and liars
As do dirty politicians, thugs and pedophiles

Engulfing the nation, the personification
He watched you from the corners of your mind
Lurking in the darkness, for that's where he likes to hide

There's no bounds to his evil, for his consciousness is Black
The heart of a killer, dealing death with no regret
You try to stand against him, thought the nightmare is so Strong
Cannot change the future, the eternal one lives on

Engulfing the nation, the personification
He watched you from the corners of your mind
Lurking in the darkness, for that's where he likes to hide

So your hope has sailed away
Life the afterlife as a slave
You never saw any warning or sign
Shown the path on which Judas has died

Regretting life, he's shown you in death
As he tears the heart from your chest
Feel the pain and gnashing of teeth
The prophet laughs, you betrayed your beliefs

Fight the evil that convicts you
Screaming as the hellfire licks you
Wanting to obliterate you
Raping of the soul within you


8. SOLDIERS PLEA

The waning sun which lies before me
Holds the answer of eternity
So on I run, try to chase a rainbow
Though my task seems so impossible

I'm a nomad, from which gypsies spawn
My loyalty is mine to own
I steal for food, I'll kill for shelter
My rule in life is strength of me

And why should I try to protect you
You'd stab me if you had the chance
Still yet you try to tie me down
When morning comes, I can't be found

I am free eternally
My soul still wanders from sea to sea
A warrior's soul which shall not break
And always I'll decide what to take from you

Do you know what it feels like
Not to know a friend from foe
Know the fear a soldier feels
With the sound of mortars drawing near

And why should I fight in this war
When we don't belong here anymore
Still yet I try to forge ahead
Now people from our hands are dead

He returns safe to his homeland
Greeted by spit and insults from his friends

A boy to a man that didn't see his rite of passage was Anarchy
Chaos in war spreads like a plague
Just grant forgiveness for the lives I take on this day


9. SHADOWS

It's like it had never begun
Even before it fell apart
And you won't face it you just run
Blaming me as you take a head start

Don't bother to look my way
'cause lonely describes my day with you, whoa
Inside yourself, you're no doubt someone else
And I'll find someone more important to do

It's like seeing the sun
After a thousand nights watching you leave
I swear it's over, think what you like
There's no one else for me to please

Don't bother to look my way
'Cause lonely describes my day with you, whoa
Inside yourself, you're no doubt someone else
And I'll find someone more important to do


10. TIME WILL TELL (THE MAN)

I feel depressed, been here before
I hear a sound, a closing door
Is there a way that I can't see
A way the man keeps holding me
I tied to a system I didn't make
I earn it all, all that he takes

The state is so true
A tyranny for you
Where good are repressed
And snakes get to rest

I just woke up to spring
And now it's winter
And I've lost a year

We can't bear arms unless he knows
In which, to me, just goes to show
He sheds a light on everything
He'll make us slaves, won't let us think

11. WHITE ROAD, BLACK SUN
Death's too good for this race
As I watch you destroy this place
With no regard for consequence
A walking billboard of insolence
Fate of nations in the balance
Feeding your corrupted malice
Focus hate on all you see
Plunge the world in anarchy

Dictatorship in disguise
You offer no alibis
Sacrifice men for your cause
Cover fields in pools of blood
Leading on the great Satan
Misrepresent this great nation
Holy war while you stand blameless
Politics, you're fucking shameless

White road, black sun
White road, black sun

- Pledge of allegiance -

Justice? whose justice? yours?

Death's too good for this race
As I watch you destroy this place
With no regard for consequence
A walking billboard of insolence
Fate of nations in the balance
Feeding your corrupted malice
Focus hate on all you see
Plunge the world in anarchy

White road, black sun
White road, black sun
White road, black sun
White road, black sun


12. GEARS OF THE MACHINE

Perspective is only a state of mind
Dumbing down the social eyes
That follow every move I make
Ready to pounce on one mistake

Judgment reigns on earth supreme
The race of human so unclear
Governments are a charade
So we'll do as we are made

Corruption formed by politics
Has destroyed our good intent
Can't trust our neighbors or our friends
Who on earth can I depend?

Why do we love our discrepancies of an actor on tv?
Brainwashed public does their part for media's grand scheme
It oils the gears of the machine
Gears of the machine
Gears of the machine

One man's decision kills many good men
Sitting safe upon his hill, he oils the gears of the Machine
With the blood of families that he will never see
It doesn't matter, 'cause it's the gears of the machine


13. DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA

The devil went down to georgia, he was looking for a soul To steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind; he was willing To make a deal
When he came across this young man sawing on a fiddle and Playing it hot
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said, "boy, Let me tell you what:

"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil His due:
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cause I think I'm better than you."
The boy said, "my name's johnny and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm The best that's ever been."

Johnny, you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause hell's broke loose in georgia and the devil deals It hard
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul

The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this Show,"
And fire flew from his fingertips and he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an Evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something Like this
When the devil finished, johnny said, "well, you're pretty Good, ol' son,
But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let Me show you how it's done."

Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in the bread pin, picking out dough
"Granny, does your bog bite?"
"No, child, no."

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been Beat
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground and johnny's feet
Johnny said, "devil, just come on back if you ever want to Try again
I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's Ever been"

And he played fire on the mountain, run, boys, run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in the bread pin, picking out dough
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."
