1. Insomnia

Insomia…

I’m running in quicksand, somethings haunting me
The guilty past I’ve buried, my mind won’t let me sleep
I’ll do anything for peace (I keep waking up), a solemn oath I make
Cross my heart, please let me sleep (I keep waking up), how much more do I take?

My head’s talking to me, I don’t know what it needs
But the loudest voice is the one I heed

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights

I, I, I can’t sleep
I, I, Insomnia

I’m twisting and turning (I keep waking up), the madness I must tame
My candle is burning (I keep waking up), both ends again today

The whole house is creaking, I know they’re out there
The things kept from sight, I bend to the shadows they can’t sleep

Insomnia, footsteps on the walk
Insomnia, I hear someone knock
Insomnia, I wish it was a dream
Insomnia, can you hear me scream?

Ah! Auh! Ah!
Guah!
I can’t sleep!

Insomnia, my swollen bloodshot eyes
Insomnia, awake till morning light
Insomnia, stirring deep inside
Insomnia, somebody turn out the lights

Insomnia, insomnia, insomnia, insomnia, insomnia
I, I, I, insomnia, I can’t sleep, insomnia, I, I can’t sleep, I, I can’t sleep, insomnia, I
I can’t sleep, insomnia, insomnia, I can’t sleep, insomnia, I can’t sleep, insomnia, I can’t sleep, insomnia

2. Prince of Darkness

My victims are rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak
I ‘cause millions of accidents, I am cancer in your bones
I fathered the lie, twist what you say, speak not the truth
I am insidious impartial, deep inside your chromosomes

I take what you love and leave you in tears
I imprison your soul, your hopes are my games
I strip you of pride (I strip you of pride), my promise is in vain
While you burn at the stake, I dance with the flames

I bring poverty sickness and death
A worthless handshake, the slickest thief, (the slickest thief, I steal your breath) I steal your wealth
I answer your prayers for greed and lust
More than evil I laugh at your trust

I am more powerful than all the armies of the world
I am more violent than violence, more deadly than death
I have destroyed more men than all the nation’s wars
I am relentless, unpredictable waiting for your last breath

Ss-ah! Ah!

More evil than violence
(Violent) More violent than death
(Deadly) More deadly than man
(Than man) Yeah yeah, I’m evil, I am

My kingdom corrupt with dissent, your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer I wallow in sin let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer, prince of darkness

Uah! Ah!

I take what you love and leave you in tears (leave you in tears)
Imprison your soul, your hopes are my games (your hopes, my games)
I strip you of pride, my promise is in vain (pomise in vain)
While you burn at the stake (at the stake, at the stake), I dance with the flames

My kingdom corrupt with dissent, your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin, let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer, prince of darkness

Ss-ah!

Uoh! Prince of darkness, your satanic highness
Prince of darkness, mm the most beautiful angel
Prince of darkness, the devilish serpent, the dreaded Lucifer
Prince of darkness, unpredictable, the prince of darkness, prince of darkness

Iah! Iah!

Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go

Just a John Doe to put to (crush) shame

5. Breadline

Ain’t got no job, ain’t got no smoke
Ain’t got a car, his life’s a joke
Living on the skids, thinks the world’s just fine
Forgot what he did, dancing on the breadline

No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him

About to lose his lifeline
He’s dancing on the breadline

Forgot who he is, forgot who he was
Used to call the shots, now, he can’t connect the dots
Uh a mover and a shaker, getting closer to his maker
Lower than a hemline, dancing on the breadline

No one there to bind him
Nothing to remind him
Nowhere left to find him, ah nowhere

About to lose his lifeline
He’s looking for a headline
Sniffing up the white lines
He’s dancing on the breadline (he’s dancing on the breadline)

Watch him dance

About to lose his lifeline
He’s looking for a headline
Uh sniffing up the white lines

He’s dancing on the breadline
Uh about to lose his lifeline
He’s dancing on the breadline

No one, nothing, nowhere
Dancing on the breadline
Dancing on the breadline
He forgot and he ain’t got nothing

6. The Doctor Is Calling

Daddy, daddy, the doctor is calling

It’s that sound, it’s that sound
That sound, that sound, that sound
Ah!
Ah!

The doctor is calling (the doctor is calling)
The doctor is calling (the doctor is calling)

Something’s going wrong, nowhere do I belong
I listen to the voices in the dark room
Something’s going down but I can’t make a sound
Looking past the bars of my mind

The coat arm’s falling
I hear the doctor calling
The family crest is falling
I hear the doctor calling

Auh!
Auh!

Always sharing trips, remove me from your lips
Sight and mind is still and never go away
One too many tantrums, deviated symptoms
Better lock the phantom away

The coat arm’s falling (the coat arm’s falling)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling)

The family crest is falling (the crest is falling)
I hear the doctor calling (the doctor calling

I see the chalkline crawling
I hear the doctor calling me away

This place is my home
My mind still runs free
The doctor’s prescription
Less for you and more for me

Nanana…

Uh the coat arm’s falling (the coat arm’s falling)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling)

The family crest is falling (the family the crest is falling)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling)

Uoh I see the chalkline crawling (the coat arm is falling)
I hear the doctor calling (I hear the doctor calling)

A merciful embalming (priest is falling)
I hear (I hear) the doctor calling me away

Away…

7. I’ll Be There

I heard the voice of redemption
For me there is no exemption
Well I started praying

I heard the voice of satisfaction
Needing me for benefaction
Well I started pleading

I heard the bells begin to chime, warning me oh
Don’t let this be my time
Don’t let this be my time

I’ll be there for you when you walk through the fire
I’ll be there for you when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life, I’ll be there for you, I’ll be there

You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
We started screaming

When skies are dark, no sun shines through
I know I see the light in you
We stopped dreaming and started believing

Oh I’ll be there for you when you walk through the fire
I’ll be there for you when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life, I’ll be there for you, I’ll be there

In my hour of need you were there always
Now it’s time for me to be there for you too
Always, always

Uoh! Oh! I’ll be there
I’ll be there for you
Oh! I’ll be there
I’ll be there
Yeah, I’ll be there
I’ll be there

You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
When skies are dark, no sun shines through
Well I’ll be there

I’ll be there for you
Oh oh
I’ll be there
I see the light in you
Oh I’ll be there
I’ll e there
I’ll be there
Oh!

8. Wanderlust

As sure as the sun rises in the east
Another gunman will come seeking my defeat

Mm, will he be as fast as me?
Are his nerves quiet and still?
Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill?

I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone

Bone, bone, bone, bone, bone, bone

As I ride into the sunset to take another town
Thank you for the invite but I just can’t settle down

Bone, I just can’t settle down
The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns
Dust is shootin’ down another dozen clowns

Oh, I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
Oh, I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone

A drum beats for me, it’s louder every day
The cadence tells me that soon, I’ll meet my judgment day (my judgment day)
My judgment day (my judgment day)
My judgment day (my judgment day)
My judgment day (my judgment day)
My judgment day (my judgment day)
My judgment day (my judgment day)
My judgment day (my judgment day)

Ah! A drum beats for me, it gets louder every day
And the cadence tells me that soon, I’ll meet my judgment day
Life’s an endless showdown never knowing when they’ll come
I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun

Oh! My smoking gun, uoh, uoh, uoh

The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame so I brought some relief
They were dying for fame
I have brought ‘em some relief

Oh, I’m an outcast riding into town alone
And I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I’m an outcast with lightning in my hand
Oh, I got wanderlust lost in no man’s land

Oh, I’m an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
I’m an outcast with lightning in my hand
Oh, I got wanderlust lost in no man’s land

I got a lust for wandering lost in no man’s land
Oh, I got wanderlust

9. Ecstasy

You live in a world of fantasy
You live in a web of deceit
You will want it all including me
You like it all to be neat

And I come to you when shadows fall
And I leave as the dawn arrives
I hide the truth to deceive them all
How my good intention lies

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy, the sin I bring ecstasy

Secret meetings that we hide
Deeds of iniquity
The price of foolish pride
The cost of immorality

And we hide the truth to deceive them all
And the pain of what will never be

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy, the sin I bring ecstasy

Mm… Ah!

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy

Try to silence the suspicions
Feeding the dark inhibitions
We can never let anyone see
The sin I bring called ecstasy

The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring called ecstasy
The sin I bring ecstasy

Uoh, ecstasy
Mm ecstasy
Uh uh ecstasy
Uh ah ecstasy

10. Seven

Full of greed, you sell your soul
Full of pride a heavy load
You eat yourself gluttony
Resent yourself, you envy me

Oh, everything turns into wrath
You lust yourself to death

Deep fears that drive us
They’re hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within
Or forgive my deadly sins

Procrastination always giving up
Something better comes to interrupt
Cast your verdict down to me
Spare me your bleeding sympathy

Only care how you appear
Clearly see, you can’t see clear

Deep fears that drive us
Hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within
Or forgive my deadly sins

Deep fears that drive us
Hid beneath disguises
Judge the world within
Or forgive my deadly sins

Greed, gluttony, pride, envy, wrath, sloth, lust, deadly seven
Seven deadly sins of mine

On every streets and corner lie
Seven deadly sins of mine
On every streets and corner lie
Seven deadly sins of mine

On every street and corner lie
Seven deadly sins
On every street and corner lie
These seven deadly sins of mine

On every street (street) and corner lie (lie)
Seven, seven deadly sins
Seven deadly sins of mine

On every street and corner lie
These seven deadly sins of mine
The seven, yeah, the seven deadly sins
These deadly sins of mine
Deadly sins of mine, oh oh

11. Time: The Beginning

Father time, I’m running late
I’m winding down, I’m growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend, now I know I can’t tie your hands
The days I saved, I couldn’t spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time, taking time, it’s taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time, chasing time, creeps up behind
I can’t run forever and time waits for no one, not even me

An enemy I can’t defend
My final days, a deadly end
Life is just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can’t get any younger
Time has brutal hunger

Time, taking time, it’s taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time, chasing time, creeps up behind
I can’t run forever and time waits for no one, waits for no one, not even me

12. Time: The End

Oh I see chronos
His eyes are on fire
He holds my life
And I see my time expire

Beat the clock (Beat the clock)
Beat the clock (Beat the clock)
Beat the clock (Beat the clock)
Beat the clock (Beat the clock)

My head starts to spin (My head starts to spin)
My head starts to spin (My head starts to spin)
My head starts to spin (My head starts to spin)
My head starts to spin (spin)

Tick, tock (Oh tick, tock)
Tick, tock (Yeah yeah, tick, tock)

Oh I can’t let time win (Oh I can’t let time win)
Oh I can’t let time win (Oh I can’t let time win)
