1. HEROIN

Dear God, I'm sorry but I can't seem to stop
Keep on getting high, higher, take me to the top
Give it to me straight doc, I don't care
I don't wanna feel
Put it in the mainline and lock the doors
I'm outta here, yeah

I'm in control
Give it to me straight
I'm in control

Living in misery no life at all
No one to catch if I fail
I don't wanna die please help me
I don't know how to stop
Think I'm gonna hurt myself
I swear to God

Son don't you cry

Mother said, father said
No son of mine
Sleeping in the cold, can't remember them
I don't mind
Give it to me straight doc I don't care
I don't wanna feel
Hit me with an overdose fine
Death, divine

Show em' what up seabass


2. DOWNTOWN

Can't you see I don't wanna be me?
The world is closing in on me and I can't breathe at all
Used to be a fire deep inside me
I could take the world over

Now it seems that everything that I do
I know it doesn't matter
Walking around when I'm down, when I'm down
When I'm downtown
Stranger, please don't walk with me
Go away, come on, baby

What can I say? Walking away
'Cause the dream becomes a nightmare
And I feel you dreaming too, oh

All in all, I don't wanna call you
It's not about the things you think, it's what you do, you
Used to be a person I admired
You could take the world over
Now it seems that everything that you do
You know it doesn't matter

Walking around when I'm down, when I'm down
When I'm downtown
All the people look at me, walk away, come on, baby
What can I say? Running away
When the dream becomes a nightmare
'Cause I know you're dreaming too, oh

Walking around when I'm down, when I'm down
When I'm downtown
Stranger, please don't talk to me
You talk too much, come on, baby
What can I say? Running away
'Cause the dream becomes a nightmare
And I know you're dreaming too
But you don't care so maybe I don't


3. WHEN WILL GOD'S WORK BE DONE

Working all night in the burning dark
Dogs awake and the city's alive
Sick 'em on the weak minds, turn out the lights
And the angel wings fly on time

Then I wonder
(When will my work be done?)
Yeah, I wonder

Take 'em out
If the children burn in their rooms alive, fuck 'em

You say oowah, hoowah
When will God's work be done?
My god, we put a price on the setting sun, sun, sun
You say oowah, hoowah
When will God's work be done?
When a man dies, I feel alive
Come on, come on, come on

(Death, such sweet release
You die for my beliefs)

Christ on time, the mind's on fire
Come alive and the bodies run
Brutal assault, got the heavy guns
For the secular seventh son

But I wonder
(When will my work be done?)
Yeah, I wonder

Get up
Make sure the first bite is the last bite

You say oowah, hoowah
When will God's work be done?
My god, we put a price on the setting sun, sun, sun
You say oowah, hoowah
When will God's work be done?
When a man dies, I feel alive
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

"Single file, when I give you an order
You will execute that order
You will deliver to me a victory
And if we can't find a way
We will make a way
Do you understand me?
We will make a way"


4. NO CHILDREN LAUGHING NOW

I don’t care about anyone
‘Cause no one cares about me
And I don’t cry for anyone
‘Cause no one cried for me, no

And I don’t feel any more emotions
As I walk the halls, a familiar sound
Hide and seek, I almost missed you
Such a shame that you’re crying now, I said

Oh, I can make you happy
I’ll be the one to put you down
With the other dogs, they’ll be dying to seat you

And oh, I can change the world
There are no children laughing now
All the crowd, not a sound

I don’t care about anyone
‘Cause no one cares about me
And I don’t cry for anyone
So don’t you cry again, again

And when I see your facе I see you clearly
‘Cause I watched thе way that you looked at me
And I don’t think that I’m better than you
But it’s clear to me that you think I do, I said

Oh, I can make you happy
I’ll be the one to put you down
With the other dogs, they’ll be dying to seat you

And oh, I can change the world
There are no children laughing now
All the crowd, not a sound

Running out of time now
I will count to three - One, two, three
And do unto others
As they have done to me

If you could only hate me
As much as I hate you
Don’t you dare try coming near
Nothing left to do


5. DESTINY

Careful now, don't stray too far
You take one step forward, two steps back

...And it's a long way, all by yourself
They'' try to pay for you to stay
To be someone else

But I won't beg for mercy,
I won't take another dime and I'll tell you why

Destiny calling me, I was born to be
What I'm meant to be

Destiny

Destiny calling me, I will forever be
What I'm meant to be

You're laughing now, but I don't mind
You'll get what you deserve in due time

...And you're best years will get away from you
And when you die you'll wonder man,
Why so soon?

I won't beg for mercy
I'll be laughing dead and gone
And I'll tell you why

Destiny calling me,

I was born to be
What I'm meant to be

Destiny

Destiny calling me, I'm flying free,
I will forever be

It's my destiny


6. LITTLE BIRD

Bird in the sky
I'll clip you in no time
Have a laugh as you're falling from grace
Down in the dirt
I'll clean you in a coal mine
Take your diamonds when you're dead
And gift you dust 'til then

And you can't be the only one who doesn't know
Who doesn't know?

You're gonna fly away from here, little bird

Down on the earth sometimes it's harder
But you can't let that stop you my son
Cause I'll hit you when you're down
I don't want you around

Fly away from here

Gonna stop you from saving your soul
You've gotta go
You gotta fly away from here

Little bird

No you can't be the only one who doesn't know...
Who doesn't know

You're gonna fly away from here

Little bird


7. WHY

Once again
The same old story
I've gotta make the rent
I gotta eat the same old shit
And see what the day has in store for me
I wish that I could sleep
But I've got to keep on moving

I always wonder why
I always wonder

Why I suffer to survive
And why
I gotta stay alive yeah
Why should I love my fellow man?

Why?

All in all
The world keeps turning
...But still this pain washes over me
I don't know what to do
I don't know what I'm doing


8. JUST A MATTER OF TIME

Innocence dies in a single night
And I cry in the pouring rain
Drag myself up all those stairs
I gotta be a man again

Such lonely night
There's a man in the sky looking down on me
It's a bittersweet
Discomforting emotion

You are heard
I hear your last words

Son of mine
It's just a matter of time
The wheel turns around again and
The cold air's kind yeah
Men are first to see the signs but
It's just a matter of time
For men are small and dying embers
The smoke is small
The smoke is fine

Working on air, aint ashamed to bear
Its weight that works on me
We can wait here and weekend there
But can we wait another week?

Would you go to bed
Where's it going to be when the winters end?
It's a bittersweet
Discomforting emotion

I don't know
Which way the wind blows

You are heard
I hear you speak

And don't you mind, air turns to wind to water
The cold air's kind yeah
No don't you mind
Win or lose the wind's forever


9. HELL IS FOR CHILDREN

They cry in the dark
So you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
So you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget
All the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child

Because hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell from the swing

Because hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh
No, hell is for children

Hell, hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell, hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children

Hell, hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for children
Hell is for children
Hell is for children


10. SUMMER LIGHTNING

Demon next to me
Could you ever tell me why?
Every time I try to move just like you
I fall behind

Demon next to me
Tell me can I touch the sky?
If I have to fly keep up with you
I will try

If I touch the sun, on a summer day
Will a chain of lightning strike me down?
What will be found, on the hard ground
If I fail again?
If I touch the sun on a summer day
Will a chain of lightning strike me down
Before I hear the sound?

Demon next to me
Can I make it through another year?
Sometimes it seems to me it's hopeless
This cross I have to bear

Demon next to me
Tell me brother can you hear?
Whispers in the wind again
Those tender eyes and tears

I touch the sun on a summer day
But a chain of lightning strikes me down
And what I found on the cold ground
Is I fail again...
I touch the sun on a summer day
But a chain of lightning strikes me down
Before I hear the sound

Open your eyes and take a look around
You won't find what you're looking for
Only what needs to be found

When the summer lightning's over
Will you be here when it's over?
When the summer lightning's over
Yeah, I'll be here when it's over
And dream again...

I'll touch the sun on a summer day
If a chain of lightning strikes me down
I won't be found on the cold ground
I won't fail again
I'll touch the sun on a summer day
As a chain of lightning strikes me down
Before you hear the sound yeah

And I'll take it
While you give it away
And I'll make it
While you throw it down


11. INSTINCT

I never sleep
I get around
I'd rather die
Than touch the ground

I push it hard
I keep it straight
I'll never stop, won't fall behind
I never wait

I pierce through the iron clouds
Of a world so cold
I hammer the thunder down
From the skies above
I need to know

I cut the wire with a steady hand
And get to fly far, far away
I touch down on a new ground
Thank god, god's far away

One million years
Don't shed a tear
But sweating hard
Pressing on persevere

And many fall
Many die
I pass them all
Pick it up double time

I suffer the falling ran
As a man I come
To puncture the pulsing vein
'Till the man is gone
I'm where I belong

I cut the wire with a steady hand
And get to fly far, far away
I'm stone faced when the chips are down
Thank god, gods far away

You can't deny me, I ever last
I'm burning hot shooting stars flying past
I kill the pain, I cut the chain
Good god, god's gone away


12. STRENGTH

Broken
Brother, what have we become?
Beating on the workers drum
Unaware of the hours
Unaware that we are here

The circle closes again
No beginning or end
The years have closed our dreaming eyes
And it's hard to find a friend

An hour's over
An hour gets away

Dying
Counting on another year
Worthless figures counting time
Honor for those who stay
Honor when they call my name

The circle closes again
No beginning or end man
In the desperate eyes of a dying boy
And the dust within his hands,

An hour's over
An hour gets away

Who will fall behind?
Who will go a littler further?
Who will climb?
Who?
I,
I decide

Who will earn the right?
Who will take their time?
Who will live or die?

Strength

Oh, how the story goes

We can make some money
We can all make some
But we won't make a living
It cannot be done, no
A sand of gold or silver
We can all make some
But we don't deserve the pain
When the work is done

Strength!
