1. Sworn Enemy

Take my hand
I'll lead you to the promise land
a tale we've heard so many times before
you pray for pain
my design is not built that way
follow the leader and see what you get suffering

Sworn, sworn enemy
of the human race
god save me
from this retchid place
my last breath I would give for you
just to assure that I'd see your face and in the end my memory
would be the thoughts of a better day

Time is pain
what's your gain
when nothings left
a little something is more then nothing in my eyes
give me a glimmer of hope
and i'll show you what it's worth
can you see the light
flash at the end of the tunnel
[back to chorus]

thoughts of a better day

the screams, the horror,
the tragedy of 9/11

Save me, help me
save me, help me
save me, help me
Save me
The sight of you i despise
I'll help you meet your maker and i wont think twice


2. One Way Trip

No matter how hard we try we all fall down
this time i'll take my changes,i've got to fight for mine
these lessons i deeded to learn that,all knowledge
comes with me
No matter how hard we try we all fall down
no matter how hard we try sometimes our feet
can't tough the ground
always a constant battle to make sure my voice is heard
i'll continue to live out my dream passing onto the next my word
ready to take by force,no matter what's my course
i'm on aone way trip to the end,one way trip
ready to take by force,no matter what's my course
i'm on aone way trip to the end,one way trip
never let no one walk all over me,never let my feelings subside
be careful not to let my guard down,2faces come in any disguise
No matter how hard we try we all fall down
no matter how hard we try sometimes our feet
can't tough the ground
always a constant battle to make sure my voice is heard
i'll continue to live out my dream passing onto the next my word
ready to take by force,no matter what's my course
i'm on aone way trip to the end,one way trip
ready to take by force,no matter what's my course
i'm on a one way trip to the end,one way trip to the end
won't let it end


3. As Real As It Gets

Friends like you i don't need
friends like you i'd rather watch bleed
the pain you've caused the wrong you've done
one thing i know is thatyour time will come
i got a feeling there is no ending
so hear this message that i'm sending
i try to forget the past it's done,
the battle's over but the war
has yet begun
the war has yet begun
you're the disease and im the cure
so put your money on me
there's no teeling what i may do
it's so plain to see
we laughed togheter,we stood totheter,
we were almost one
then that fatal day you changed on me,
now the war has begun
i take a look in your eyes,i don't like what i see
you lived your life as a fake and
i'm as real as can be
i lived my life and faced my own realities
you lived your life of pure fantasy
once was a time i thought that you were my friend
live your life like a bitch,ou'll be alone till the end
this shit is over done,your future won't change
but i'll be happy when i piss on you're grave
this is as real as it gets,when i piss on youre grave
this is as real as it gets,when i piss on youre grave
your grave,grave,grave,grave,grave!
as real as it gets

Here i stand just a man alone
in this world i do the best i can
i don't know why i was lead down this path
maybe to see if i can withstand
you leave my mind left with twisted thoughts,
a cure for this can not be bought
your end of days is in sight
so be prepared to meet my might
stand on my feet i won't fall to my knees
i'll be this way for as long as i breath
no fear in my heart i won't let it start
let me tell you something i won't fall apart
look into my eyes can you see the pain
do you understand it's you i want to maim?
ready to explode as the insanity builds
raging like a wild man
this time i'll get my fill


4. My Misery

You know that you can't hide yourself,
behind the mask that you've made.
You phoney I've found out so go.
And tell someone who really cares.
You betrayed our friendship.
The life long bond was split at the seems
we were one in the same.
Now watch my smile turn into a stare.
You betrayed yourself, you betrayed us all.
There'snothing left, ruins are all that's left after the fall.
You betrayed yourself, you betrayed us all.
There'snothing left, ruins are all that's left after the fall.
If there's one thing I've learned in this heartless world,
you gotta expect the unexpected.
All of the lies I couldn't see now i seek retrobution
like pouring salt on an open wound.
My rage burns from within.
Trust me.
You said these words I can never forget.
The fact that I didn't see it coming took me by surprise.
Behing your facade you hid your shame well.
The memories will make it hard
to live through all of this shame.
From the times that were good and even of times of bad,
we've through it all now im suffering your final gain.
Can you honestly think what you've done
makes it worh the hell you'll have to face?
Can you honestly think what you've done
makes it worh the hell you'll have to face?


5. Labeled

You call me this, you say I'm that.
You want to label me some kind of outcast.
Like a dreaded disease to the environment.
My kind tips the scale of disconcert.
So more power to me cause I'm with it
you think that you're the ones to cime
And get it.
There's no front for me to hide behind.
You want me gone, pick a number and wait in line.
Come as your are - Raise the dead - Fuel the fire.
That explode in my head.
Labels are just a name, I'll stay true to the game,
Labels are just a name, I'll stay true to the game.
You don't know me, you can't see me,
You don't know me, you can't see me.
I've learned to put your shit behind me,
I've learned to put your shit behind me.
Open your eyes, take a look and see,
Open your eyes and take a look and see.
Now the clock ticks down to the moment when you open your mouth.
Why don't you learn to speak,
cause nobody must have told you that your talk was cheap.
Did I in any way mislead you yo believing?
That there was a chanceI'd leave your daughter grieving.
All the stupids thoughts you had of me in your head.
Sometimes it makes me think that you'd be better of dead.
So just put an end to your tragic whappy life.
A lesson learned, tables turned,
time to pay the piper.
Come as your are - Raise the dead - Fuel the fire.
That explode in my head.
You got me labeled all wrong.
I survive because I'm strong.


6. Fallen Grace

I lived life faithfully, I dread each breath that I take.
I've found this path to nowhere,
no where hell I can't escape.
Someone save me from this dream,
every morning that I wake,
I wish things could've been different,
Is there something that could be changed?
Reaching out the the heavens,
I see a falling sky.
Visions of blood red images fill my mind.
Reflecting on my life,
from the day I was born and how it all fell apart.
I never tought my life would be such a mess,
God please help me.
Everyday I'd live for what I'd like to know,
my life leading up to the end.
You said that I was your son,
But what son would have to suffer like this.
Is this my destiny,
I was chosen to be the shepherd of this land ?
Lead you all to the shinning light, so serene,
why have you chosen me?
Why not you, why not him, what prophecies,
hold me above my head?
The preordained servant,
to show you love throught death, I can't imagine this.
Here we sit, the last suffer, take this wine.
For this is my blood.
Here we sit, the last suffer, take this bread.
For this is my body.
Someone, save me from this dream.
Every morning that I wake,
I wish things could've been different,
is there something that could be changed?
Is this my destiny,
I was chosen to be the shepherd of this land ?
Lead you all to the shinning light, so serene,
why have you chosen me?
Why not you, why not him, what prophecies,
hold me above my head?
The preordained servant,
to show you love throught death, I can't imagine this.
This pain, for you, I suffer.
This pain, for you, I suffer.
This pain, for you, I suffer.
This pain, for will suffer.


7. Time Heals No Wounds

Just time, too much time.
All this pressure it build inside.
Just time, too much time.
All this pressure it build inside.
It's been my enemy.
At such an age I couldn't understand,
how could you let this be?
KNOW THIS THAT!
The pain, the heartbreaks, I suffered through time.
Imagine what the fuck I'm feeling inside.
You, you, you choose to live your life apart from mine.
From the beginning, my feelings were denied.
The pain, the heartbreaks, I suffered through time.
Imagine what the fuck I'm feeling inside.
The pain, the heartbreaks, I suffered through time.
Imagine what the fuck I'm feeling inside.
You choose to live your life apart from mine.
From the beginning, my feelings were denied.
All the pain I suffered throught time,
you can't imagine what Im felling inside.
All the pain I suffered throught time,
you can't imagine what Im felling inside.
The cold sweat in the middle of the night - Denied.
Can't understand a young boy's fright - Denied.
Never once showing a sign - Denied.
Do you wonder if I'm felling fine? - Denied.
The cold sweat in the middle of the night - Denied.
Can't understand a young boy's fright - Denied.
Never once showing a sign - Denied.
Do you wonder if I'm felling fine? - Fuck you !
All the pain I suffered throught time,
you can't imagine what Im felling inside.
All the pain I suffered throught time,
you can't imagine what Im felling inside.
I'm still searching - I'll keep searching,
the answers that I can't find.
I'm still searching - I'll keep searching,
the answers that I can't find.
I'm still searching - I'll keep searching,
the answers that I can't find.
I'm still searching - I'll keep searching,
I'm still searching - I'll keep searching,
the answers that I can't find.
I'm still searching - I'll keep searching,
the answers that I can't find.
that I can't find.
that I can't find.
that I can't find.


8. Days Past

The days of my past now are so far gone
The glory days when the battles were won
The walking down those hallowed halls
The laughing, the yelling, the ruling it all
As I close my eyes I can plainly see
The lunchroom tables and everybody
The jokes that were made, the fun that was had
And all the trouble we got being bad

But time, time can be so cruel
And play with your mind
And you wish harder for those days to find

Time can be so cruel
And play with your mind
And you wish harder for those days to find

Those days are gone forever!

Life rolls on even as we look back
To those days that were treasured
When fiction was fact
I get the chills when I stop and think
How much time can actually pass between each blink?
When I think of all the things that I did
I feel like now in my heart that I don't even live
Can you feel the warmth as you stop and smile?
Doesn't that call you back every once in a while?
While!

The days of my past now are so far gone
The glory days when the battles were won
The walking down those hallowed halls
The laughing, the yelling, the ruling it all
As I close my eyes I can plainly see
The lunchroom tables and everybody
The jokes that were made, the fun that was had
And all the trouble we got being bad

But time, time can be so cruel
And play with your mind
And you wish harder for those days to find

Time can be so cruel
And play with your mind
And you wish harder for those days to find

Days Past!

My heart races back to the days of the past
In my mind I knew that it wouldn't last
So much to miss, (So much to miss!), So much fun
I spend my days reliving thoughts of all that I've done


9. Innocence Lost

Respect is something you have to learn.
All innocence lost.
For those who have not forgotten,
where they came from.
The misconceptions of what should be,
a failed life, a torn past.
Living for one reason I've created,
my own destiny.
Countless cruelties bestowed upen me,
freewill, what a novel idea.
Spend you lifelime living for something.
In the end it's all a lie.
Born just to die in a world of hate - I suffer.
Blood in blood out something go - beyond the grave.
Innocence lost.
Born just to die in a world of hate - I suffer.
Blood in blood out something go - beyond the grave.
Taught to believe.
The imperfections of this human lie.
On the inside the fire rage.
Throught my while existence.
Pour my heart out on this pad.
It does no good for me now.
At the same time, the afterlife doesn't seem so bad.
Born just to die in a world of hate - I suffer.
Blood in blood out something go - beyond the grave.
Innocence lost.
Born just to die in a world of hate - I suffer.
Blood in blood out something go - beyond the grave.
I've made my way, I'll have to deal.
With the fact that there is no changing.
My tomorrow forever.
Be altered by my yesterday.
Some things are meant to be.
If I could change it all I would do it.
In a heart beat.
In a heart beat.
In a heart beat.
One step a a time, I've fallen.
I've fallen too far behind.
Now I think I've lost my mind,
In the end it's all a lie.
