1. VOICE OF SANITY

There's a scream at midnight or a child who's time has come
With a beauty so fresh and new just twenty years she'd just begun
Now the hour is coming strong only to crush the innocent ones
Crimes of passion and pleasure the reasons for what is done

Hear it echo through the stages
Voice of Sanity

As its flowing through your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain

Looking from the hindsight of a world no longer strong
Thinking you are protected you don't realize your sadly wrong
You can walk the straight line but that straight line will be gone
The voice is always watching and soon you will sing its sweet song

Hear it echo through the stages
Voice of Sanity

As its flowing through your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain

As you see the new dawn and praise the safety of lighted day
Just like the young child we must all have a price to pay
And if we're all mad sanity is for who to say
When the voice calls us we must all heed and come out to play

Hear it echo through the stages
Voice of Sanity

As its flowing through your mind
Let it bring you pain
Rivers turning blood red
Let it drain your brain


2. HIROSHIMA

Flashback Pearl Harbor attack
Incoming bombers, no way to fight back
Chaos blood in the sand
The enemy is coming the threat is Japan

It must fall to flame - Hiroshima
Fall to flame - Hiroshima

Fighters strike from the air
Machine gun fire no time to prepare
Wounded ships have been sunk
People will say kamikaze's the one

It must fall to flame - Hiroshima
Fall to flame - Hiroshima

One plane carries the bomb
Orders are given the city is gone
Spreading flesh it will burn
Revenge has been taken and now the have learned

It must fall to flame - Hiroshima
Fall to flame - Hiroshima
It must fall to flame - Hiroshima
Fall to flame - Hiroshima


3. INSULT TO INJURY

A fallen soldier takes a hit
And is left behind
Comrades boots across his back
Who masterminds the sneak attack

And of course the innocent
Is the One who pays the price

Insult to Injury
Insult to Injury

A knife will twist into the back
the body hits the ground
And the culprits smiling face
is looking upon the waste

And of course the innocent
Is the One who pays the price

Insult to Injury
Insult to Injury

The missing lone ingredient
Salt into the wound
Is an insult to the pride
You better put yourself respect aside

And of course the innocent
Is the One who pays the price

Insult to Injury
Insult to Injury


4. DEMENTIA THIRTEEN

Take it it's for free
Soon it starts to please
Take as much as you want
Take as much as you need
It kills all pain
No need to feel ashamed
Now it starts to hit home
Straight to the bone

Dementia Thirteen

Now you're feeling stoned
Pains are small and few
This feeling's all that you own
Never let them try to take it from you

It's fucking me up
I think Ive had a little too much speed
And I can hardly see
What the chords I'm hitting
What the otes to play
Yo, are we all in tune
What did that dude just say

Dementia Thirteen


5. ESSENCE OF EVIL

The last brick has been placed trapped in a wall of stone
Buried without a trace left to rot to the bone
Two men had been close friends fought a war side by side
Greed and lust lead to the end one man buried alive

The undead has life essence of Evil
Crawling and crawling stair after stair
It cries in the night essence of Evil
Revenge on the one that has put it there

So one talks of a truce he lures the other to his home
Let us drink and forget the reason we walk alone
A smile on his face but murder is on his mind
A taste of poison too late how could he have been so blind

The undead has life essence of Evil
Crawling and crawling stair after stair
It cries in the night essence of Evil
Revenge on the one that has put it there

Upstairs the killer sleeps as its clawing tooth and nail
Raw flesh finds loose stone it escapes from its jail
And now the killer wakes as the door swings open wide
The essence has sealed his fate there is nowhere to hide

The undead has life essence of Evil
Crawling and crawling stair after stair
It cries in the night essence of Evil
Revenge on the one that has put it there


6. WITNESS TO THE TERROR

Smoke so thick you start to choke
Among the ruin the dogs of war
You feel the end drawing near
Air raid sirens wailing in your ears

But you hear them
When it strikes it's too late
Now you see them
Burning bodies squirming screaming
Staring in your face

Witness to the terror
Life appearing from the shelter
The lone vulture last survivor
Life is tasting bitter

Search the earth look around
Hopeless case there is none to be found
Save your breathe final plight
Suicide you never get it off your mind

But you hear them
When it strikes it's too late
Now you see them
Burning bodies squirming screaming
Staring in your face

Witness to the terror
Life appearing from the shelter
The lone vulture last survivor
Life is tasting bitter

Kneeling down final sight
Twitching hand it cuts the ego like a knife
Pray for death pray for light
Live in hell pray to the one that's wrong or right

But you hear them
When it strikes it's too late
Now you see them
Burning bodies squirming screaming
Staring in your face

Witness to the terror
Life appearing from the shelter
The lone vulture last survivor
Life is tasting bitter


7. BATTLE SCARS

Stitch in time for a dime
Passion crime a penny saved is a penny earned
Get rich quickturn your trick
Make it quick another bailbonds court adjourned
The rat race sets the pace
Leaves a trace tyo teach you what you've never learned

The wear and tear has taken its toll
Twelve hundred scars another years old
The wear and tear has taken its toll
Each battlescar the blood runs cold

White or black the meat rack
On your backbut not until the price is paid
Mind at ease aim to please
On your knees cause that's the way the money's made
Time slips by to tough to cry
You wonder why your morals have now decayed

Pay the dues black and blues
It's what you choose to live life the way you want
Familiar face that's the case
But no disgrace your memory they will always haunt
Time will tell end this hell
What you sell you will someday no longer flaunt

The wear and tear has taken its toll
Twelve hundred scars another years old
The wear and tear has taken its toll
Each battlescar the blood runs cold


8. RAPE OF THE MIND

With the sun sinking slowly and the vultures flying low
Out on the streets again with nowhere to go
You've taken you last chance and there's nothing left to lose
Pull the gun your on the run and caught by the man in blue

Does the punishment fit the crime
It's a rape of the mind

Take a look at the rich man at the people that he owns
Watch the smile on his face eviction from their homes
Caught for tax evasion on the new he's taken away
Out a day later ain't got nothing he wants to say

His money pays for his time
It's a rape of the mind

Now the padded cell is waiting and the doctors come to call
Shock treatments aren't helping still your shocked some more
Take your mind from you and your freedom in return
With the hopes one day a lesson has been learned

Does the punishment fit the crime
It's a rape of the mind

Rape of the Mind

10. PISTOLWHIPPED

Pistolwhipped

Four cold dark walls closing gasp for air
Prison cell bars laughing as they stare
Scream in vain what a desperate cry
Silent echoes the room comes to life

Contemplate plan to escape vision of breaking out
Chance to flee free from the arms of the law

Pistolwhipped - pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped - pistolwhipped

Footsteps keys ring music to the ear
No more waiting chance in hell is here
Beams of light shine knock'em on the floor
Must break free now open cell block door

Contemplate plan to escape vision of breaking out
Chance to flee free from the arms of the law

Pistolwhipped - pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped - pistolwhipped

Fence is near scream as the sirens sound
Chase begins blood pumping the heart pounds
Cross a field taste freedom legs in pain
Crushing blow butt of a gun meets your brain

Contemplate plan to escape vision of breaking out
Chance to flee free from the arms of the law

Pistolwhipped - pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped - pistolwhipped
