1. SIX FEET UNDER

Adam, I don't know who did this to you.
I don't know who they are and how they hurt you.
I just know, they will pay, in ways they never thought where possible.
Scream for forgiveness and remember my name

Pandora? Nooooo...

Don't cry cause I'm six feet under
I will always be by your side
Lived my life in total darkness
Don't want this for you

It's a heavy burden but its only one way forward, onward
Now your legacy I carry
Walking in your shoes

Dad, it's time for the cleansing of these rivers of sin.
It's time to avenge the unjustly condemned, an unsung hero in this unmarkеd grave
Amen

Paradise will nеver let me in
Only spotless lives approved
I wouldn't want to ruin your rosen grave
I'm here, its time now


2. A GHOST OF A CHANCE

Half past ten
Almost noon
I'm just inches from the center of the heart
In the city of the damned
Go ahead
Twist the knife
It's essential that the mark is clearly out
Justice served before lunch

I'm wearing the mask a thousand poor souls
You left in the gutter to bleed

Here I am, I'll be damned
What's the risk of losing all?
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance to succeed
A ghost of a chance, I believe

Settle down
Take the stand
And let's talk about the matters of the heart
It's all riding on this
Be my guest
Swear to God
Raise the bible in the name of what you are
Is that who you think you are?

I'm wearing the mask a thousand poor souls
You left in the gutter to bleed

Here I am, I'll be damned
What's the risk of losing all?
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance to succeed
A ghost of a chance, I believe

I hear their screams in my head sometimes
Now, Where's my pillow
Their ghosts are haunting me, calling back, pleading me
Say I can't help you
It's just the same treat
You gave the others
I'm sorry I'm not sorry
I was the shadow
You where in my way
I know better what you are
You're no better than me

Here I am, once again
Facing Darkness naturally
Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance I believe, yeah, yeah

Got a ghost of a chance, honestly
No matter how high I climb
I keep falling down again
Down into this madness
An ocean of sadness
It narrows my chance to succeed
A ghost of a chance, I believe

Need you dad


3. DAMNATION

Wake up
The house you built is burning down
Too bad
No sympathy
There are no handouts

The higher ups
Applauding first
They're smiling as
Their wallets grow
The more they laugh
The more it hurts

The world is still burning
Intended for domination
A curse written in stone
The flames are growing
We're heading down for damnation
I just don't see the point
The core is rotten spoilt
You're just a man, you're no Christ

Sleep now
The newspaper protects your pride
Look down
The headlinе reads
You're the punch linе

They kicked you down
You turned the cheek
They fooled you once
While you were weak
The more they laugh
The more it hurts

The world is still burning
Intended for domination
A curse written in stone
The flames are growing
We're heading down for damnation
I just don't see the point
The core is rotten spoilt
You're just a man, you're no Christ

(Time to run away, time to run away, time to run)
You're just a man, you're no Christ
(Time to run away, time to run away, time to run)
You're just a man, you're no

A life in misery
For trusting them blindly
You thought they had your back
But really they got your soul

Hey, how do you sleep at night?
When even your wife hates you
What is the measure of a man?
Let's see if you've got guts

The more they laugh
The more it hurts

The world is still burning
Intended for domination
A curse written in stone
The flames are growing
We're heading down for damnation
I just don't see the point
The core is rotten spoilt
You're just a man, you're no Christ


4. THE WHEELS OF TIME

The wheels of time all set in motion
The will to fight across the oceans
Perfect love is when you don't have a choice
When the time comes asking for fools
But it doesn't matter as you lost your voice
There's a method to hanging this fruit

There a common goal
For this nation's soul
Even though It's come to an end
It's a derailed storm, like a train of thought
Created by a primitive owl
Flee, fly, flo

The wheels of time broken in motion
The crimson rides high on emotions
As the sick man lays on a broken bed
As he's humming his favorite tune
Doesn't wanna to say who's the one to blame
There a method to measure the fools

There a common goal
For this nation's soul
Even though It's come to an end
It's a derailed storm, like a train of thought
Created by a primitive owl
Flee, fly, flo

I leave the nest in your hands now
So If you crash it's your own fault

There a common goal
For this nation's soul
Even though It's come to an end
It's a derailed storm, like a train of thought
Created by a primitive owl
Created by a primitive vow
Flee, fly, flo

The wheels of time all set in motion


5. WINGED

I signed a petition
Helping elders make amends
It's for the cold war
I gave back the paper
And looked straight into his eyes
No anger resolved

No time for goodbyes
No change close to mind
Serves me right for trusting him
It's the sign of the times, I guess

All hail stature rise
And then winged by bastards
All trails end up cold
Cause you're covered by cowards
Walk straight, walk the line
It's a mass disorder
Lady Justice cries
Wingеd cannot fly

Treat them like dirt
Rеads the sign in the protest
Their voices are heard
They march down the streets
Where the beggars ask for change
They plead but get none

No time for the weak
That's the irony
A chain reaction is born
It's the sign of the times, I guess

All hail stature rise
And then winged by bastards
All trails end up cold
Cause you're covered by cowards
Walk straight, walk the line
It's a mass disorder
Lady Justice cries
Winged cannot fly

In Europe they say
That the wall is theirs to blame
It's raised by incompetence
Divided into classes
Left some brave men afraid
Officially out of breath
So many parallels to my hometown
Invisible walls but the same happened there
The American dream
A prison within
A rat race where corruption is agreed
And verified
Winged cannot fly

All hail stature rise
And then winged by bastards
All trails end up cold
Cause you're covered by cowards
Walk straight, walk the line
It's a mass disorder
Lady Justice cries
Winged cannot fly

(This one is for you dad)


6. KILL YOUR DARLINGS

In this dirt
I saw seeds intended to grow old
But the rain keeps pouring down
Though it hurts
There's a reason for this damn parade
I better hurry, now it's dark

Oh here come the saints
Saves the day again
It's impossible to blame
'Cause the shadows have no name
It drives me crazy

I made a bed of roses in your name
I'm lost without hope
It was supposed to be the Novocain
I'm on my last rope
I found a better way of evening the pain
Just kill your darlings

If these walls, they could speak
What sort of terriblе things would they say and make you cry
In return
Thеre should be a worthy penalty
Forged by those who were deceived

Oh here come the saints
Saves the day again
It's impossible to blame
'Cause the shadows have no name
It drives me crazy

I made a bed of roses in your name
I'm lost without hope
It was supposed to be the Novocain
I'm on my last rope
I found a better way of evening the pain
Just kill your darlings
Kill your darlings

I better get dressed, I'm getting in tuned
I'm high on the buzz, I better resume
It's hard to let go, so kill your darlings

Oh here come the saints
Saves the day again
It's impossible to blame
'Cause the shadows have no name
It drives me crazy

I made a bed of roses in your name
I'm lost without hope
It was supposed to be the Novocain
I'm on my last rope
I found a better way of evening the pain
Just kill your darlings
Kill your darlings

Kill your darlings
Kill your darlings


7. FATHER’S EYES

A part of me will always tend to be afraid
What have I done?
What have I become?
And all the sleepless nights I seem to have ahead
They all seem dark
Just like my thoughts
It's like this mission has been slowly kind of changing me
It has infected me
Just like a drug

Days go by
When the will of wisps is nigh

Oh yeah
Cause it all comes back
It all comes haunting you
Oh yeah
Cause what goes around
Comes around, it's true
You probably won't pull through

Oh yeah, I've got my father's eyes
Oh yeah, but I've got my mother's heart

The synergy has kept the spirits very high
The rich men wins
At poor men's cost
This conversation seems nothing but tormenting me
But it's only me
Talking to a wall

Days go by
When the will of wisps is nigh

Oh yeah
Cause it all comes back
It all comes haunting you
Oh yeah
Cause what goes around
Comes around, it's true
You probably won't pull through

Oh yeah
Cause it all comes back to you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Cause it all comes back to you

Don't you worry now
Don't you worry now

Whispers in my ears
Reasons not to fear
Even if it's clear
Once you disappear
Wait, wait now
That's what you say now
But where was your conscious
When you robbed them blind?
An eye for an eye
A knife for a knife

Oh yeah
Cause it all comes back
It all comes haunting you
Oh yeah
Cause what goes around
Comes around, it's true
You probably won't pull through

Oh yeah, I've got my father's eyes
Oh yeah, but I've got my mother's heart
Cause it all comes back to you


8. RISE ABOVE

The street preachers run for cover
I barely know where I still stand
For some reason
There's omission
But everything is plain at hand

A miraculous forsaken man
Makes the sobbing News right at prime time
Tastes definitely so bitter sweet
That my voice still lacks a vote

So every time I try to rise above
It's kind of like I hide my head in sand
Father's sacred rules
Born in doom and gloom
But I am still immune
And even if I try to rise above
I'm forced down to dеnounce this perfect plan
Ridiculеd and mocked
When down for the count
You would listen up
If I was a man

It's a man's world says the radio
But I could care less about that
There's a wind now
And it's blowing
It drastically makes a change

A miraculous forsaken man
Makes the sobbing News right at prime time
Tastes definitely so bitter sweet
That my voice still lacks a vote

So every time I try to rise above
It's kind of like I hide my head in sand
Father's sacred rules
Born in doom and gloom
But I am still immune
And even if I try to rise above
I'm forced down to denounce this perfect plan
Ridiculed and mocked
When down for the count
You would listen up
If I was you dad

It's like I'm living in your shadow
Now and forever
I'm trying to make a point in time
It feels much better
To write a letter
It's how I cope to rise above

So every time I try to rise above
It's kind of like I hide my head in sand
Father's sacred rules
Born in doom and gloom
But I am still immune
And even if I try to rise above
I'm forced down to denounce this perfect plan
Ridiculed and mocked
When down for the count
You would listen up
If I was a...


9. TRICK OF THE DEVIL

Speak magic 8
Tell me how am I to cross the lake
That goes nowhere
Rinse and repeat
The riddle of a dream, epiphany
So heads or tails?

The puzzle only gets outrageous
In every piece untold
It reeks of rotten states and labor
The common wealth are told
Big breaths they say
The heat is getting worse and worse
No clouds or rain in sight
I'm sorry that we have this conversation

Got my back against the wall
Not backing down
Been obedient far too long
It has to stop
This prison isn't helping me
It only make things worse
I may be free, imperfectly
A weird reality
The trick of the Devil
It may have forced my hand

Fly busy bee
And look down on us all comfortably
You made your bed

I'm writing on this piece of paper
Torn out of a book
It's the story of man of stature
Hanged by his own words
I ringed that part
The heat is getting worse and worse
No clouds or rain in sight
I'm sorry that we have this conversation

Got my back against the wall
Not backing down
Been obedient far too long
It has to stop
This prison isn't helping me
It only make things worse
I may be free, imperfectly
A weird reality
The trick of the Devil
It may have forced my hand

Vows may occur
That you won't hold up, or keep your word
So show don't tell
That's the, that's the
That's the trick of the devil
That's the, that's the
That's the trick of the devil
That's the, that's the
That's the trick of the devil
That's the, that's the
That's the trick of the devil

Got my back against the wall
Not backing down
Been obedient far too long
It has to stop
This prison isn't helping me
It only make things worse
I may be free, imperfectly
A weird reality
The trick of the Devil
It may have forced my hand

(The trick of the Devil)
The trick of the Devil
It may have forced my hand
The trick of the Devil
It may have forced my hand
The trick of the Devil
The trick of the Devil
The trick of the Devil
The trick of the Devil...


10. HEADS OR TAILS

I'm shaking hands with all bad seeds
While I moonlight as a preacher
It's gonna be the end of me
I should be dead by midnight

I can't be caught in this red dress
It reeks of roses and vigor
I've broken bread with my best friend
Come on, shape up, it doesn't mean a thing
I'm as calm as they come

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
On the face of fact
Stay silent keep calm
I'm the heartache ender
Heads or tails, decide
Or go quiеtly
Into the night

Nothing gets past my dignity
The streets arе filled with cheap shots
They either work for drugs or cream
No one will live til midlife

I can't be caught in this red mess
It smells of rogue machine guns
They're sweating bullets while singing
Come on, those rats are only good when dead
I'm as calm as they come

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
On the face of fact
Stay silent keep calm
I'm the heartache ender
Heads or tails, decide
Or go quietly
Into the night

Washing the blood of my hands
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Treason and reason goes to bed
A son of a gun
I've got your picture
In case something goes south
Escape as sinner
A saint's omission

All we are is dust
Pointless lives
Is this what you want?
The remedy is bleach
Enhances from your rich, poor life

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
On the face of fact
Stay silent keep calm
I'm the heartache ender
Heads or tails, decide
Or go quietly
Into the night

I can't be caught in this red dress
I can't be caught in this red mess
I can't be caught in this red dress
I can't be caught in this red mess


11. PLEASE, DON’T WAIT UP

I was a mess
When you came to me
I thought impossible
It's like a fairy tale

I'm taught to fight
Put up a wall
It felt unnatural
To be so chill with you
This happiness is cruel

Inside my mind I was going insane
But on the outside I felt calm, no pain

Please don't wait up
Please don't wait up
I leave the light, it's on for you
But really it's for me, oh
Please don't wait up
Please don't stay up
I leave the light, it glows for you
But really it's for me
To find my way home

Drunk on this love
I still had a job
It broke my heart when I
Had to be late again
Wish I could tell you
What I do when you're asleep
So no, I can't
I need you to be pure
My haven and my cure

Inside my mind I was going insane
But on the outside I felt calm, no pain

Please don't wait up
Please don't wait up
I leave the light, it's on for you
But really it's for me, oh
Please don't wait up
Please don't stay up
I leave the light, it glows for you
But really it's for me
To find my way home

(Please don't stay up
Please don't stay up)

Under the bed, there a box with bullets
Above the shower, there's a gun, I use it
We live a lie, you don't know me, it's appalling
It's my fault, for leading you on

This will end once I am done with
All the loose ends with this corpse
In time for some dinner and dance

Please don't wait up
Please don't wait up
I leave the light, it's on for you
But really it's for me, oh
Please don't wait up
Please don't stay up
I leave the light, it glows for you
But really it's for me
To find my way home

Leave me alone


12. FINDING CLOSURE

Finding closure
Is it a myth?
Can't be closer
To my own demise
I feel stronger
Feeling the mood
Rising purpose
But what can I do?
It all falls on you

Now the end is near
And the afterthought
Must recap the cost of reckoning
There's no aspirin that can fix my head
It's killing me

I'm getting closer
To finding closure
I'm finally paying my dues
It's getting closer
To my exposure
Every step I'm taking
Takes me back to you
Every step I'm taking
Opens the old wound

Rise up, diamond
You are no stone
Rough-cut, broken
No one getting through
Day grows darker
Soon a new dawn
Moonlight brighter
Tow shadows they rule
This one is for you

Now the end is near
And the afterthought
Must recap the cost of reckoning
There's no aspirin that can fix my head
It's killing me

I'm getting closer
To finding closure
I'm finally paying my dues
It's getting closer
To my exposure
Every step I'm taking
Takes me back to you
Every step I'm taking
Opens the old wound

I may not the person that I used to be
I may or may not have gone on a killing spree
The thing is, they deserved it
It's not my fault
It's in my blood
Like daughter like dad
That's how it's supposed to be
Though I take a final step
There's regret in my attempt
One more time then I am free
But will I ever truly be, be free?

There's no aspirin that can fix my head
It's killing me

I'm getting closer
To finding closure
I'm finally paying my dues
It's getting closer
To my exposure
Every step I'm taking
Takes me back to you
Every step I'm taking
Opens the old wound

The old wound
I'm done

This makes no sense
Following your steps
No more killing
No more, I quit

I'm getting closer
To finding closure
I'm finally paying my dues
It's getting closer
To my exposure
Every step I'm taking
Takes me back to you
Every step I'm taking
Opens the old wound

It's not worth it
I'm done

You coward, I knew you couldn't do it
Now, I am done
