Album Lyrics
1. Sudden Death
His wicked Highness, born from disaster, to dominate and to kill
A glistening murder machine, false majesty standing perfectly still
A blitzkrieg raining down evil on a mountain of black ice
Like a good old fashioned beating within Inches of your life
While alone and left abandoned, with the sentence you’ve been handed
All your angels will ignore you as your life flashes before you
Even still you keep on fighting through the thunder and the lightning
And now Heaven sends its love… your sudden death from above!
Once frozen like a prisoner depraved, perched high atop the lithosphere
Set free from beneath the depths of hell, bequeathing anything but despair
The beast is genetically programmed, time to destroy, time to go berserk
To see the end of all wars, to see the end of the Earth
Stopping at nothing, punch drunk from the blood that he’s tasted
Tearing your soul apart, not one bit of your pain will be wasted
Now death descends upon you like a bloody white dove
Bringing your retribution… your sudden death from above!
While alone and left abandoned, with the sentence you’ve been handed
All your angels will ignore you as your life flashes before you
Even still you keep on fighting through the thunder and the lightning
And now Heaven sends its love… your sudden death from above!
2. Public Enemy No. 1
Public enemy number one, jail break and a smoking gun
You won’t believe the things I’ve done and the killing is just for fun
Public enemy number one, a stolen car and I’m on the run
Through the night till the rising sun and the trouble has just begun
Roses on your grave
I’ll be on my way
There’s no time to stay
With the enemies I’ve made
I’m invincible, you might say despicable
Punishment’s reciprocal, public enemy number one
I’m unbeatable, my mind’s untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable, public enemy number one
Public enemy number one, watch the authorities come undone
With every stand-off that I’ve won, flirting death just for fun
Public enemy number one, born a fugitive father’s son
Another heist of a bank is done and the trouble has just begun
Roses on your grave
I’ll be on my way
There’s no time to stay
With the enemies I’ve made
I’m invincible, you might say despicable
Punishment’s reciprocal, public enemy number one
I’m unbeatable, my mind’s untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable, public enemy number one
The posters say I’m wanted “Dead or Dead”
Anyone who’s tried got a bullet to the head…
I’m invincible, you might say despicable
Punishment’s reciprocal, public enemy number one
I’m unbeatable, my mind’s untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable, public enemy number one (auh)
Public enemy! (auh)
Public enemy! (auh)
Public enemy! (auh)
Public enemy!
3. Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)
Uh, you’re just in time to get inside my head
Uh, the war of words, you’re underneath my skin
You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go, I see you in the shadows
You think you know what’s best for me
You hate everything you see in me, have you looked in a mirror?
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
Cost so much more than the price I ain’t going pay
You only point out fault, anxiety attack
You running your mouth, you stab me in my back
You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go, I see you in the shadows
You think you know what’s best for me
You hate everything you see in me, have you looked in a mirror?
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
Cost so much more than the price I ain’t gonna pay
Running your mouth…
Running your mouth…
Stab me in the back…
Anxiety attack…
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
Cost so much more than the price I ain’t gonna pay
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?
Hey! Just whose life is this anyway?
Just whose life is this anyway? Just whose life is this anyway?
4. We the People
Secret bureaucracy, it’s just a lie
The devil’s henchmen, in suit and tie
A sacred brotherhood, an ancient rite
Politicians and the double lives they hide
Violate your rights, no more equality
Surrender freedom, your Social Security
We the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die
Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves
The land of liberty needs a regime change
Until you no longer know right from wrong
The constitution isn’t worth the paper it’s written on
Violate your rights, no more equality
Surrender freedom, your Social Security
We the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die! In revolution we die
Screams from the future, warn of calamity
The coming plagues of the new disease
The illuminati, one world currency
One world religion, one World everything
Violate your rights, no more equality
Surrender freedom, your Social Security
We the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die
We, the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die
We, the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die
5. Guns, Drugs & Money
Drinking cold cerveza in a boiling hot saloon
Chasing shot of tequila, just about high noon
Outside Nuevo Laredo, deep in no man’s land
Become a killer or be killed, face down in the Rio Grande
Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he’ll soon forget what he had
Guns, drugs and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs and money, pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs and money, a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you’re rich, you die if you choose lead
He had a suitcase full of money, plenty of ammo for his gun
The sweat roll down his dirty face, his plans have all come undone
It’s just a matter of time, no matter how he tries
He hears “plata o plomo, gringo” the last words before he dies
Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he’ll soon forget what he had
Guns, drugs and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs and money, pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs and money, a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you’re rich, you die if you choose lead
Guns, drugs and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs and money, pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs and money, a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you’re rich, you’re gonna die if you choose lead
Guns, drugs and money
Guns, drugs and money
Guns, drugs and money
Guns, drugs and money
6. Never Dead
Killers lie in wait for innocent blood
To swallow alive some harmless souls
Walking a crooked path, their wicked names will rot
Evil lives in the dark, its right is doing wrong
The torment never ends… it never ends
The fire that burns inside, that’s blistering their brains
That makes them sacrifice, that’s driving them insane
Trapped in this “no man’s land” where angels dare to tread
Forever banned to the realms of the Never Dead
There’s no one you can trust from this grave
Die with those they swear to defend
Feeding on the ones they’ll feed off in the end
Evil lives in the dark, its right is doing wrong
The torment never ends… it never ends
The fire that burns inside, that’s blistering their brains
That makes them sacrifice, that’s driving them insane
Trapped in this “no man’s land” where angels dare to tread
Forever banned to the realms of the Never Dead
Death sits before you to press on is suicide
Life spills out of your body, you wither and die
For the rest of your life in the realms of the Never Dead
The fire that burns inside, that’s blistering their brains
That makes them sacrifice, that’s driving them insane
Trapped in this “no man’s land” where angels dare to tread
Forever banned to the realms of the Never Dead
7. New World Order
Where hath the Apostles gone? Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass, New World Order will hold the mass
A book written by the man, used to control and command
All rights will be denied without the mark you shall die
No confession, all is known (all is known)
New world order, you shall be shown (shall be shown)
No confession, all is known (all is known)
New world order, you shall be shown
Monitoring all wages, New World Order comes stages
Currency is obsolete, feel the agony of defeat
A symbol of society today, a must have or you shall pay
As humans flesh leads the mind, just as a pawn the last martyr dies
No confession, all is known (all is known)
New world order, you shall be shown (shall be shown)
No confession, all is known (all is known)
New world order, you shall be shown
Where hath the Apostles gone? Joining hands with wicked ones
Revelation has come to pass, New World Order, complete disorder, will hold the mass
8. Fast Lane
You don’t know what I feel, I get behind the wheel, a feeling in my soul
I hyperventilate as I accelerate till I’ve lost all control
My speed becomes relentless, contesting all my senses
White line appearing faster, prompting death and disaster
My supersonic machine
Get out of my
Fast lane, like a jet plane, like a freight train
I’m driving insane, addicted to the fast lane
Rushing to my brain, no time to explain
This is my domain, addicted to the fast lane
I look into mirror, red lights are drawing nearer, they think I’ve met my match
But I shift into high gear, soon they just disappear, you can’t jail what you can’t catch
My speed becomes relentless, contesting all my senses
White line appearing faster, prompting death and disaster
I hear the engines screaming
I’m burning up the
Fast lane, like a jet plane, like a freight train,
I’m driving insane, addicted to the fast lane
Rushing to my brain, no time to explain
This is my domain, fast lane
Fast lane, like a jet plane, like a freight train
This is my domain, addicted to the fast lane
9. Black Swan
I thought a desires worth any pleasure
Could never really be a sin in vain
One hundred and one shots of opportunity
I’d gladly take them all again and again and again
My angel’s left me, sorrows are my own
And now I’m here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, craving after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
I promised on my soul, not to get carried away
It always starts on psychedelic and then it turns to black
My head starts swaying, I forgot what it was that I was saying
I don’t know where I am and I’ll never, never make it back
I sealed my fate and I paid my debt
I fell from grace with deep regret
My angel’s left me, sorrows are my own
And now I’m here, with the Devil on my own
Just like a churchyard shadow, craving after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there’s nothing left to see
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
My angel’s left me, sorrows are my own
And now I’m here, with the Devil on my own, on my own!
Just like a churchyard shadow, craving after me
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, there’s nothing left to see
It’s only there to terrify my mind, a black swan keeps haunting me
Just like a churchyard shadow, oh, craving after me
There’s nothing left to see, there’s nothing left for me
10. Wrecker
It doesn’t matter what car you drive, she’ll wreck it!
It doesn’t matter where you sleep at night, she’ll wreck it!
It doesn’t matter where you go to work, it doesn’t matter where you go to church, it doesn’t matter just how bad it hurts, she’ll wreck it!
My bleached bones in the desert, it’s all she’s left of me
Poison ivy in your touch
Being with you destroyed so much, home wrecker!
Deadly venom in your kiss
Hell can’t be worse than this, home wrecker!
It doesn’t matter what you pretend, she’ll wreck it!
It doesn’t matter what you defend, she’ll wreck it!
It doesn’t matter how you lived your life, it doesn’t matter anymore to your wife, it doesn’t matter even how you die
She’ll wreck that too! Like a vulture picking my bones clean, it’s all that’s left of me
Poison ivy in your touch
Being with you destroyed so much, home wrecker!
Deadly venom in your kiss
Hell can’t be worse than this, home wrecker!
It doesn’t matter where you live
It doesn’t matter what you drive
Home wrecker!
Poison ivy in your touch
Being with you destroyed so much, home wrecker!
Deadly venom in your kiss
Hell can’t be worse than this, home wrecker!
11. Millennium of the Blind
Line up all of you and turn in your eyes
You just won’t need them anymore
When your mind is ours to do with what we please
Everything you own and everything you need
Sacrifice your leaders, like it or not
Or else you’re going down with a ship, death on the rocks
Blind follow, blind lead
All our hopes and dreams washed out to sea
All your money’s ours to bankroll corrupt wars
You can’t see what you’re fighting for
Trust your leaders as they send you out to die
The true face of evil can’t be seen without eyes
Sacrifice your leaders, like it or not
Or else you’re going down with a ship, death on the rocks
Blind follow, blind lead
All our hopes and dreams washed out to sea
At the start of time, many centuries ago, came the spawning of Christ and the Antichrist and darkness fell upon our people
And the children, they were born faceless, without eyes they could not see
Born unto themselves, they lived and they died in the millennium of the blind
Blind follow, blind lead
All our hopes and dreams washed out to sea
12. Deadly Nightshade
Come now my lovely, won’t you take a midnight stroll with me?
Through the misty air the things, I keep I shouldn’t dare
My garden’s so inviting, and its deadly blooms are hiding
Be careful what you touch, lest the grave is what you lust
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
Uh from the deadly nightshade
Each night at midnight dating back into the fog of time
Another victim falls, the things I’ve done, the voices call
The hourglass runs out on us, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The killers must be fed, the soil is red, now that you’re dead
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the deadly nightshade
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the deadly nightshade
Delirium! Your burning throat
Mania! Your heart rate soars
Hallucination! You’re losing your mind
Suffocation! Cannot breathe, you’re going blind
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the deadly nightshade
Draw the blinds, you’re getting tired
Paralyzed, don’t close your eyes
Gripped with fear, your dreams become nightmares
From the deadly nightshade
Deadly Nightshade
Deadly nightshade, shah…
Nightshade… yeah
Nightshade
13. 13
Thirteen times I went to the well to draw my thoughts, I’ll gather and tell
Like bricks that I’ve laid to build my life, those that crumbled only caused me strife
Thoughts became words, cast into the sea but they returned, always haunting me
Like a severed arm washed up on the shore, I just don’t think I can give anymore
Because I’ve lived, how many times do I have to die?
Because I’ve lived, how many lives do I have to die?
Thirteen times and it’s been lucky for me
After everything, you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I’m still alive
At thirteen I started down this path, fueled with anger, music was my wrath
Years of clawing at scars that never healed, drowning my mind, the thoughts are too real
Because I’ve lived, how many times do I have to die?
Because I’ve lived, how many lives do I have to die?
Thirteen times and it’s been lucky for me
After everything, you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I’m still alive
I can’t get out
I can’t jump out
Too much to face
I can’t erase
Because I’ve lived, how many times do I have to die?
Because I’ve lived, how many lives do I have to die?
Thirteen times and it’s been lucky for me
After everything, you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see the devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I’m still alive (and I’m still alive)
I can’t get out (I can’t get out)
I can’t jump out (I can’t jump out)
Too much to face (Too much to face)
I can’t erase (I can’t erase)
Thirteen times and it’s been lucky for me
