Album Lyrics
1. Trust
Lost in a dream nothing’s what it seems
Searching my head for the words that you said
Tears filled my eyes as we said our last goodbyes
The sad scene replays of you walking away
My body aches from mistakes betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much that in nothing we trust
Time and again she repeats let’s be friends
I smile and say yes another truth bends, I must confess
I try to let go, but I know we’ll never end ’til we’re dust
We lied to each other again (but I wish I could trust) but I wish I could trust
My body aches from mistakes betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much that in nothing we trust (in nothing we trust)
God help me please, on my knees (on my knees) betrayed by lust (by lust)
We lied to each other so much (so much) now there’s nothing we trust
How could this be happening to me (I’m lying when I say “Trust me”)
I can’t believe this is true, (trust hurts) trust hurts, why does trust equal suffering (suffering)?
My body aches from mistakes betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much that in nothing we trust (in nothing we trust)
God help me please, on my knees betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much (so much) now there’s nothing we trust (nothing we trust)
My body aches from mistakes betrayed by lust (by lust)
We lied to each other so much (lied to each other so much) that in nothing we trust
God help me please (help me please), on my knees betrayed by lust (lust)
We lied to each other so much absolutely nothing we trust
2. Almost Honest
I lied just a little when I said I need you
You stretched the truth when you said that you knew
Just can’t believe it there’s nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost
Living alone, can’t stand this place
It’s four in the morning and I still see your face
I was nearly pure, when I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere, you said, “I’d bleed for you”
We were kind of candid now you’ve gone away
You were almost honest, almost
Living alone, falling from grace
I want to atone but there’s just empty space
I can’t face tomorrow (I can’t face tomorrow), now you’re not coming back (you’re not coming back)
Walked off in the night (walked off in the night) and just left me the tracks (and just let me the tracks)
I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don’t have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don’t ask who’s to blame? I don’t know
Living alone (living alone), falling from grace (falling from grace)
I want to atone (I want to atone) but there’s just empty space (but there’s just empty space)
I can’t face tomorrow (I can’t face tomorrow), now you’re not coming back (now you’re not coming back)
Walked off in the night (walked off in the night) and just left me the tracks (and just let me the tracks)
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
Almost, almost almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
Almost, I was honest
Almost
3. Use the Man
I heard somebody fixed today, there was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out, I heard somebody turned to dust
Looking back at what he left, a list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung, these are the things he won’t get done, the things he won’t get done
I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use the man)
I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle (To the gutter on their hands)
The fight a war but it’s fatal (It’s so hard to understand)
I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use the man)
Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry, cry, cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in
He hangs his head and wonders why, why the monkey only lies, lies, lies
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose
He hung his head inside the noose oh
I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use that man)
I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle (To the coffin on their hands)
They fight a war but it’s fatal (It’s so hard to understand)
I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle in his hand)
Cryptic writing on the wall (The beginning of the end)
I’ve seen myself use the needle (Seen the needle in my hand)
I’ve seen the man use the needle (Seen the needle use that man)
I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle (To the coffin on their hands)
They fight a war but it’s fatal (It’s so hard to understand)
I’ve seen myself use the needle (Seen the needle in my hand)
In my hand
In my hand
In my hand!
4. Mastermind
Anonymous existence, rendered useless to mankind
Destroy the logic volume in the confines of the mind
Enmassed and purposeless, marching in a perfect line
Neo-neuro torture, mental meltdown, a heinous crime
Mastermind, I tell you what to think
Mastermind, I tell you what you need
Mastermind, I tell you what to feel
Mastermind
Invade the core of souls (invade the core of souls) to wipe the lives away (to wipe the lives away)
Design vacant beings (design vacant beigns), welcome the inhuman race (inhuman race)
Encrypted horror codes (encrypted horror codes), directive psyche overwrite (directive psyche overtime)
Processing brains to pabulum (processing brains to pabulum), delete, format living drives
Mastermind, I tell you what to think
Mastermind, I tell you what you need
Mastermind, I tell you what to feel
Mastermind, I tell you what’s real
Hail to the power age, lest the viral hour comes
Raise the flag of voltage, bow to circuitry unknown
Kneel (before the processor), kneel before the processor, (lords of static laugh) lords of static laugh
(Electrons in submission) electrons in submission, (you must know) you must know who I am
I tell you what to think, I don’t care what you thought
I tell you what to get, I don’t care what you got
I tell you what to think, I don’t care what you thought
I tell you what to get, I don’t care, I don’t care what you got
Mastermind, I tell you what to think, (I don’t care what you got)
Mastermind, I tell you what you ne-ne-need
Mastermind, I tell you what to feel, (I don’t care, I don’t care what you got ah)
Mastermind, subject
5. The Disintegrators
The slayer has arrived on a black horse of steel
Trouble is coming, Hell on two wheels
Hide in the shadows awaiting defeat
Or live by the sword and choose to be free
We say retribution, we say vengeance is bliss
We say revolution with a cast iron fist
Coming down the road, watching every move
Kicking in the doors, taking what we choose
Anarchy’s coming to town
A fiery invader
Burning it down to the ground
The disintegrators
Oh!
We say retribution, we say vengeance is bliss
We say revolution with a cast iron fist
Coming down the road, watching every move
Kicking in the doors, taking what we choose
Anarchy’s coming to town
A fiery invader
Burning it down to the ground
The disintegrators
Anarchy’s coming to town
A fiery invader
Burning it down to the ground
The disintegrators
Anarchy’s coming
Here it comes
Burning it down to the ground
The disintegrators
6. I’ll Get Even
I’m lonely and abandoned, washed up, left for dead, I’m lost inside the desert of every word you said
Like a nuclear reactor or T.N.T., I’m thinking about the times when you lied to me
All the innuendo, caught up on your hook, I was just a name in your little black book, ouh
In your little black book, oh
I’ll get even with you
I’ll get even with you, even with you
I’m bitter and I’m twisted, I haven’t slept in days, I’m lonely and I’m angry, I can’t make it go away
I’m like a bomb that’s ticking, I got voices in my head, I got a doll with needles in, wishing you were dead
I’ll get you back somehow, that’s what I’m gonna do, I’ll get you back somehow, your nightmare coming true ouh
It’s coming true
I’ll get even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do
Gonna get even with you
I’ll get even with you, even with you, even with you
You better look behind you ‘cause there I’m gonna be
I’ll be standing in the shadows with who I used to be
He’s slightly schizophrenic, me and me and me and me agree
That you are gonna pay for what you did to me
I’ll get even with you, I’ll get even with you
I’ll get even with you, gonna get even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do, gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, gonna
I’ll get even with you, even with you
Ah, that’s what I’m gonna do, gonna, I’m gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna
I’ll get even with you, I’m gonna get even with you
I’ll get even with you, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna
7. Sin
He had an unfamiliar face
Complete life in disarray
A simple man, power drunk
No worries of living, no more anything
Deep inside, I’ve seen it rise
Actions progress but to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the reasons that we sin?
I’m not one to be forgot
Spoiled rotten, so they say
Once burned, forever marked
Hurt by just a few but so many have to pay
Deep inside, oh, I’ve seen it rise
Actions progress but to no end
Mirror, mirror, please look inside
Do you see the reasons that we sin?
Pressure coming down
Down on me, gonna break
Broken fingernails
Digging in, scratch my face
Nervous like a cat
Gonna jump through my skin
Shadows on the wall
Stretching out and grope for me
(Reason) Deep in me, (reason) let me be
(Reason) Let me bleed, (reason) set me free
(Reason)Set me free, (reason) set me free
(Reason)Set me free, (reason) the reasons that we sin
8. A Secret Place
There’s a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there but their face don’t show
If you get inside, you can’t get out
There’s no coming back, I hear them shout
Uoh! Uoh! Uoh!
Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
How I arrived I can’t explain
You’re welcome to, if you wanna stay
But everyone just runs away
Oh there’s a secret place I like to go
Everyone is there but their face don’t show
If you get inside you can’t get out
There’s no coming back, I hear them shout
Let me in, get me out, can’t do more then twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace, found it again in my secret place
Let me in, get me out, can’t do more then twist and shout
Lost my soul without a trace in disgrace
I hide from those that try to find me
Scary things that’s right behind me
I lost myself, I must confess
I can’t explain how I got this mess
Uoh! Uoh! Uoh!
Welcome to my hide away, my secret place
How I arrived I can’t explain
You’re welcome to, if you wanna stay
But everyone just runs away
My secret place (There’s a secret place)
My secret place (There’s a secret place)
I like to go (My secret place)
There’s a secret place, I like to go, just runs away
My secret place
9. Have Cool, Will Travel
Mamas pack their lunches, kiddies pack their guns
Wishing it will go away, but nothings getting done
A shot heard ‘round the world, when a mother’s baby dies
We the people point our fingers, blame and wonder why
Eih! Ueih! Eih!
Face it and fight or turn high tail and run
‘Til it comes back again just like the rising sun
Say, “They do all they can”, it’s just another lie
The answer’s plain to see, nobody wants to try
Eih! Ueih! Eih!
Uh there’s no recess and no rules in the school of life
And if you listen very closely you’ll see what it’s like
Have cool, will travel
Uh there’s no recess and no rules in the school of life
And if you listen very closely you’ll see what it’s like
Tell myself it ain’t true, they just cannot see
I’m grown up or sewn up, the medicine’s worse than the disease
I have cool, will travel,
Here we go
Have cool, will travel
Have cool, will travel
10. She-Wolf
The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please
Priestess roars, “Get down on your knees”
Uauh!
The rite of the praying mantis
Kiss the bones of the enchantress
Spellbound searching through the night
A howling man surrenders the fight, the fight
One look in her lusting eyes, savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in, the bite of the she wolf
One look in her lusting eyes, savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in, the bite of the she wolf
My desires of flesh obey me
The lioness will enslave me
Another heart beat than my own
Sound of claws on cobblestone, I’m stoned
One look in her lusting eyes, savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in, the bite of the she wolf
One look in her lusting eyes, savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in, the bite of the she wolf
Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies
Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she wolf and her bite
Her hidden will to kill in disguise
11. Vortex
Internal combustion
Multiple personalities
Terror inside of me
A mask of silent agony
Curse the falling rain
The vortex of pain
As medieval as Merlin
A pact for power was made
Lucifer in transition
It’s time, time the price was paid
Scorching the domain
The vortex of pain
A telestic message, written in torment
Howl out dirges like the horns of Jericho
Distorted faces, writhing in rage, walls of purgatory tumble down
Endless death, the jewels of a crown
The jewels of the crown
12. FFF
Looking for a cure, within the human race
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take?
Burning up the tents, of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man’s mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take?
Fight for freedom
Fight authority
Fight for anything
My country tis’ of me
Cry for absolution, it’s not the end for me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war machine, don’t get in its path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man’s mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
I don’t know how much more I can take?
Fight for freedom
Fight authority
Fight for anything
My country tis’ of me
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
Fight for freedom
Fight authority
Fight for anything
It’s my country
Fight for freedom
Fight authority
Fight for anything
My country tis’ of me
