1. WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE?

The burned out jaded forgotten and faded
The whipper of sins washes them to my door
Sordid seedy denoted and greedy
Seeker of sins ever hungry for more

What's your pleasure
Could I interest you in something truly people-truly
Everybody has a price they're prepared to pay
What's your pleasure

Give it all away to me
Let me have your soul
Nothing is a crime to me
If you can't be sold

Bitter and twisting with gold in their fists they
Whatever I ask my discretion not sure
They're hopeless helpless they just could not care less
Oh gosh gamblers what have I preferred

Tormenting fire a life of unfulfilled desires
The so-called civilized and unknown rival liars
So much I've achieved but they have nothing left to wait for
Eventually I'll find them trembling at my door

For a price I'll point them on their way
So many ways to make them pay

The burned out jaded forgotten faded
The whipper of sins washes them to my door
The sordid seedy denoted greedy
The seeker of sins ever hungry for more

What's your pleasure
Could I interest you in something truly people-truly
Everybody has a price they're prepared to pay
What's your pleasure

My soul is up for grabs
Like everything you had and lost
Your soul is up for grabs
Like everything you had and lost

What's your pleasure
What's your pleasure
What's your pleasure


2. GREED

See this anger ever clean
When they held up men and spleen
Never pretty never clean
As the wing of two planes

And when we are alone
It does upon our bones
Cause in this world it sees
The only way to be is greedy yeah

And better act a proper law
The faces of our talking to
Someday they'll forever go
And we all sit and listen

Hidden behind standards we should never wish to meet
Advertise this heaven people worship at its feet
Colored by a tone that's only worth the price of fools
I can't play the game because I'm sickened by its rules

The fraud it lurks it palaces in alleyways

One money one power all that you need is greed
One people sit down we're all that you need is greed

Whispering secrets faking it to laugh
Blinding in its brilliance silence in the show

Easing the conscience of the good gone bad
While guilt and paranoia drives them mad
It lures us deep into the pit
Turns out and slits us into shit

The food of fear an endless need
it's always here its name is greed

Greed is on the evergreen
Where the head of man has been
Never pricked never cleaned
After we got to place

And when we are alone
It does upon our bones
And in its mind it sees
The only way to be is greedy yeah

The bedrock of corporate law
The faces of our talking jaw
So, in time and now, forevermore
We all sit and listen


3. IN THE NAME OF GOD

Don't look to God
As we destroy
All that he has created

It was not God
Don't blame him for
Leaving us here
The third earth

They don't got to lead upon the insides of troubled men
They've been told to lonely, twisted, bitter, and erased

In the name of God… What's that?
In the name of God… Is like that
In the name of God… What's that?
In the name of God

Pass it unto me
But they'll be the first to die
If the roots are weak
They'll never think to question why

If there's no God, then there can be no devil either
But they'll live upon the words of priests and unbelievers

In the name of God… What's that?
In the name of God… Is like that
In the name of God… What's that?
In the name of God

Blessed are the hungry
For their appetite for spurs in
Hence beneath the cross
They fight and die to rule the mayhem

Bless the beast, bless the horse,
The lonely lot behind their doors
Then there's a pig inside the walls, you've never seen beside them
Bless the crimes, the wasted time
Dead girls that are going blind
Let no sinning God decide, stranger puts for that’s all

Only then pray
Wait for the day
If judgement falls upon us

Burned by the red
Of all our sin
Faith was in him
Await us

Captains of our destiny, religions our excuse
For us to be weak still lies our torture and abuse

In the name of God
In the name of God
In the name of God
In the name of God
In the name of God… What's that?
In the name of God… Is like that
In the name of God… What's that?
In the name of God


4. JUST ANOTHER MASSACRE

He kicked in the door with the whiskey on his breath
A force in his act and a whisper in the air
I've been thinking of the time he had, yeah
How does it feel to be dead?
This one game moment like the kids downstairs
Vinnie was standing at the top of the stairs
With his little shotgun loaded to bare
What's he gonna do?

We tell our children not to be afraid
There are no monsters in the world we made
Who can dance or shoot, why can't they run?
Who can protect them from the bad man with the gun?

Time and time again each night
The darkness sleep within the might
But little men who glorify
The power of the dark

Just another massacre (x4)

Just another little fight down
When they finally let him down
No shotgun to be found
Time flies when it's the end

We tell our children not to be afraid
There are no monsters in the world we made
Who can dance or shoot, why can't they run?
Who can protect them from the bad man with the gun?

Think of all the lives we've lost
Never stopped to doubt the cost
Each of them, the victims of an angry man's gun

Guns don't feed the hungry
Guns don't kill the ill
Guns allow us to live by
Even if it kills

Just another massacre (x6)


5. ARCHITECT OF PAIN

Down among the last of wild for release
Evil of my dreaming, displeasure without cease
The suffer payments, the needs are feeded for
They beg for mercy, but shall receive no…

Born without a conscience, faceless in the crowd
Ignorant and evil, arrogant and proud
Naked and ashamed, driving you insane
How can you ensure an agony so pure?

Innocence means nothing to me
Every face I see and they'll take
But those before me are one's frame.
I am the arquitect of pain

Death is the black face of the price I've long been seeking
It's shadow, claws, nimble and sly
It holds no mysteries for me, my fear is there
Hope is an enemy to me and shall remain so…

Suffer to all who swerve, secrecy
Abolish all who swerve, from deserter

Terrible and ageless, hidden behind fear
Long before your history, I was always here
The suffer payments, the needs are feeded for
They beg for mercy, but shall receive no…


6. EVERY BREATH

Minutes seem like hours
In a stubborn fight to live… My freedom, just a memory
All my joy and sorrow, victory, sad regret as my life it drains away

Trapped in this lifeless shell
I wait for death to swallow me, trapped in hell
You curse every breath that you take

Life and pain, all you have left are your memories
Death remains the very last rule you can take

See the sadness in my eyes, my friend
See the pain you can't escape
Every breath, the very life I spend
Tooth and nail for death I scrape
I have all the world in just one hand
Day by day is the due.
I crush great men into grains of sand
Blast my soul and land away.

And what's it for, to expose a war,
If nobody wants to share it with you?
Life ain't cheap, I find it priceless, borrow money,
You can take it with you.

No one here will help me
No one here believes
No one here will comfort
No one ever needs, never

I've seen this fabric, this craft itself
I have killed and I felt I saved myself
For the service of my fellow man
Who I found just don't give a fucking damn

Silent screams, empty dreams
Lifeless jail, trapped in hell

I face you, look away to see what's in my only crime
Like a blackened animal who suffered for a time
Trapped in this asylum for my benefit at all
Stare into the mirror and I see myself grow old

So survivor of a badly name
My death ends a legacy
I'm no longer one to play this game
For it's what gives victory

Friendly tears are left from singing as I drown and go,
Stabbed through my reality, no one will ever know
As the rehearsal works, no one will hear me say,
No more will I say the things I love, I'll never get away.

I look back before my life, in sadness and with pride
Though the body's old and frail and stale,
The same young man inside I thought he was,
no place it hurts,
I've known all the grief and joy a human had to know

No one here will help me
No one here believes my history
No one here will comfort
No one ever needs, never


7. I KNOW WHO I AM

Ancients are the root, the light, the law across our souls
Dead or living, as we pray, struggle on with all our might
In hopes that we may all achieve our goals

Step by step, we stay pages
Step by step, frozen like ice
Step by step, we earn the wages
Step by step, we pay the price

Well before I go, I want you all to know
It won't be quietly, and that’s a guarantee

Brave enough to take the blame
I know who I am
Strong enough to take the pain
I know who I am
If you knew me, sneak along
Follow me, we'll know and burn
Better to have taught ourselves
Than never to have known.

We all know that there is good and evil
But would we recognise it, if it stroked our troubled faces?
Do we question, do we trust? Scorched ourselves in greed and lust
Follow the example of our leaders in hard places

Step by step, we stay pages
Step by step, frozen like ice
Step by step, we earn the wages
Step by step, we pay the price

Well, it seems to me, we're never really free.
If we're taught with sin, that's how we'll behave.

Brave enough to take the blame
I know who I am
Strong enough to take the pain
I know who I am
If you knew me, sneak along
Follow me, we'll know and burn
Better to have taught ourselves
Than never to have known

I know who I am (x4)

Free your soul, from the fear of living
Free your mind, from the fear of thinking

Well, it seems to me, we're never really free
If we're taught with sin, that's how we'll behave
Well before I go, one thing you all shall know
It won't be quietly, I’m fucking guaranteed

Brave enough to take the blame
I know who I am
Strong enough to take the pain
I know who I am
If you knew me, sneak along
Follow me, we'll know and burn
Better to have taught ourselves
Than never to have known

I know who I am (x4)


8. CORRUPTION

As while I come to battle, crossing back the man's sorrow
Broken children sacrificed for battle of tomorrow
Debt is hard to pay, so close it's wrong to ruin flesh
Seeking for her pleasure, everything they find on will

Her presence stirs the mist, the wind got dead
The train ain't gone
Inferiorities in fear, her saints have misery, our soul

She is corruption
The lady has to be us
She is destruction
The dead know, how could be us?

Demon sisters glistening, the blood had gathered
Hellfire last ring listening, what have you been waiting for?
Sing a testament, cabooing, don't sweat your fear
Daddy be the master
But he means nothing here

Suffering and grief are but the touch of earth's caress
In touch you'll hurt and push but human life is worth much less
A promise likely future if you're back you will see in pain
Nothing that exists inside a twisted, locked domain

Seed of evil, spawned in hell
Brought within the wicked shell

The arbitrate torment of the medium of souls
His presence to her is and speaks her unto us of all
Far beyond the primitive sadistic things we know
The playground is the bed of the rolling madman soul

Disgusted by our bitter sense of pleasure and of pain
In rooms of shredded insanity
She rapes her self-domain

She is corruption
The lady has to be us
She is destruction
The dead know how she feels


9. THINK FOR YOURSELF

Hit it on the radio, see it on a TV
Read it in a trashy magazine
Post it on a chat show, everybody looking it
Someone else is forcing out the place I've seen

Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to fear
What to do in my way

Question everything you say
It's not all it's for to be

Think! Take a little time
For! Educate your mind
Your! Separate the truth
Self! From the major proof

Pulling me from my bed, skipping out the line
Substituting all the facts for lies
Feeling twisted, little man
Buzzed before the swine
Horrified by something fantasize

Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to fear
What to do in my way

Question everything you say
It's not all it's for to be

Be aware when all not quite what it seems
Be aware and don't get fooled by their schemes

Don't turn away, say it's not your problem
Whose problem is it? It's not yours.

Think - for – your – self!

Hit it on the radio, see it on a TV
Read it in a trashy magazine
Post it on a chat show, everybody looking it
Someone else is forcing out the place I've seen

Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to fear
What to do in my way

Question everything you say
