1. Reckoning Day

I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch
And how I make you wanna scream in pain
And feel your life is just a losing game

I like the way that you let me in
The way you look when the walls cave in
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop

I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there’s nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies, empty skies

Don’t want no revenge
Ain’t no pay back time
It ain’t called getting even
Here comes the reckoning day, day, day, day

I like the things that you try to fake
And your face when I see you break
And that you say you will pray for me
You realize you are prey for me

I like the way you stay on attack
No matter what, I keep coming back
And how you try to hold me down
But you end up driven to the ground, to the ground

Don’t want no revenge
Ain’t no pay back time
It ain’t called getting even
Here comes the reckoning

Don’t want no revenge (Don’t want no revenge)
Ain’t no pay back time (Ain’t no pay back time)
It ain’t called getting even (It ain’t called getting even)
Here comes the reckoning, here comes the reckoning day, day, day

Here comes the reckoning day
Here comes the reckoning day
Here comes the reckoning day
Here comes the reckoning day

Here comes the reckoning
Here comes the reckoning day
Uh, here comes
It’s coming to get you

2. Train of Consequences

I’m doing you a favor as I’m taking all your money
I guess, I should feel sorry but I don’t even trust me
There’s bad news creeping up and you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is trouble, I’m coming in for the kill

In for the kill
Uh, and you know I will

Set the ball a rolling, I’ll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o’ style
My thinking is derailed, I’m tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain’t no turning back auh

No horse ever ran as fast, the money that you bet
I’m blowing on my cards and I play them to my chest
Life’s fabric is corrupt, shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked up brains, packed my bags and headed west

I hocked my brains
Headed west

Oh, set the ball a rolling, I’ll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o’ style
My thinking is derailed, I’m tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain’t no turning back

Oh, set the ball a rolling, I’ll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o’ style
My thinking is derailed, I’m tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain’t no turning back

Set the ball a rolling, I’ll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o’ style
My thinking is derailed, I’m tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain’t no turning back

3. Addicted to Chaos

Only yesterday, they told me you were gone, all these normal people, will I find another one?
Monkey on my back, oh aching in my bones, I forgot you said, “One day you’ll walk alone”
I said, “I need you, does that make me wrong? Am I a weak man? Are you feeling strong?”
My heart was blackened, it’s bloody red, a hole in my heart, a hole in my head

Who will help me up? Where’s the helping hand?
Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand?
In a dream I cannot see, tangled abstract fallacy
Random turmoil builds in me, I’m addicted, addicted to chaos

Light shined on my path, turn bad days into good, turn breakdowns into blocks, I smashed ‘em ‘cause I could
My brain was labored, my head would spin, don’t let me down, don’t give up, don’t give in
The rain comes down, cold wind blows, the plans we made are back up on the road
Turn up my collar, welcome the unknown, remember what you said, “One day you’ll walk alone”

Who will help me up? Where’s the helping hand?
Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand? Oh
In a dream I cannot see, tangled abstract fallacy
Random turmoil builds in me, I’m addicted to chaos

Who will help me up? Where’s the helping hand?
Will you turn on me? Is this my final stand, stand?
In a dream I cannot see (in a dream I cannot see), tangled abstract fallacy (tangled abstract fallacy)
Random turmoil builds in me (random turmoil builds in me), oh, build, builds, builds

In a dream I cannot see (in a dream I cannot see)
Tangled abstract fallacy (tangled abstract fallacy)
Random turmoil builds in me (a random turmoil builds in me)
I’m adicted to (addicted), I’m adicted to the chaos (addicted to chaos)

Addicted (addicted)
Addicted (I’m addicted) to chaos (I’m addicted)
Chaos (addicted)
Addicted to chaos (addicted), chaos (addicted)

4. À tout le monde

Don’t remember where I was, I realized, life was a game
The more seriously I took things, the harder the rules became
I had no idea what it’d cost, my life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished, all my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
Smile when you think of me
My body’s gone that’s all

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words, I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There’s nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words, I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

So as you read this, know my friends
I’d love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body’s gone that’s all

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words, I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words, I’ll ever speak
And they’ll set me free

5. Elysian Fields

Uneasy feeling, burning out my eyes
I hope the end is less painful than my life
I stand on trial before the Gods on Judgment Day
A blink of an eye between the cradle and the grave

One last look at visions of flesh (Ah)
The last best hope of man on the Earth (Ah)
Pontius Pilate still washing his hands (Ah)
The world don’t want to be saved only left alone

Elysian fields! We are storming the heavens
Elysian fields! We raise the swords and shields
Elysian fields! We ascend to our destiny
Elysian fields! To the Elysian fields

Soaring to the sun with blood upon their wings
Superstitious dust left twisting in the wind
Man still has one belief, one decree that stands alone
The laying down of arms is like cancer to their bones

One last look at visions of flesh (Ah)
The last best hope of man on the Earth (Ah)
Pontius Pilate still washing his hands (Ah)
The world don’t want to be saved only left alone

Elysian fields! We are storming the heavens
Elysian fields! We raise the swords and shields
Elysian fields! We ascend to our destiny
Elysian fields! To the Elysian fields

Elysian fields! We are storming the heavens
Elysian fields! We raise the swords and shields
Elysian fields! We ascend to our destiny
Elysian fields! To the Elysian fields

Elysian fields! We are storming, we are storming the heavens
Elysian fields! We raise the swords, we raise the swords and shields
Elysian fields! We ascend, we ascend to our destiny
Elysian fields! To the Elysian fields

6. The Killing Road

Again we stalk the stage, at mach speed we engage
Feeding people’s rage, the big cat’s left it’s cage
Back in the bus again to catch another plane
This behavior’s quite insane but we do it for the fame

I lost my mind, I lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road
I lost my mind, I lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road

The road will never end, it always starts again
Another show’s around the bend, another long lost friend
Oh, faceless as the snow, there’s nothing special about the road
It’s just another haul, it’s just too damn long that’s all

I lost my mind, I lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road
I lost my mind, I lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road

I lost my mind, lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road
I lost my mind, lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road

I lost my mind, lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road
I lost my mind, lost all my money
I lost my life to the killing road

7. Blood of Heroes

Walking stiff let me tell ya, better left for dead
And now we are on a mission, well it’s full speed ahead
My legion’s when we do the crime, let’s get one thing straight
To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

Ladies and gents, we’re still alive
By the skin of our teeth, now it’s killing time
Angel in our pocket, devil by our side
We ain’t going nowhere cuz’ heroes never die

Still alive, blood of heroes
Never die, they never die
Still alive, blood of heroes
Never die, they never die

We’ve been run down every hill, chased up all the dead end streets
But if you try to cut us out, you’ll get a kick in the teeth

Ladies and gents we’re still alive
By the skin of our teeth, now it’s killing time
Fasten up your head belts, time to ride the skies
It’s time to be immortal, ‘cuz heroes never die

Still alive, blood of heroes
Never die, they never die
Still alive, blood of heroes
Never die, they never die

Blood of heroes
Blood of heroes
Blood of heroes
They never die

Still alive, blood of heroes
Never die, blood of heroes
Still alive, blood of heroes
Never die, blood of heroes ah…

8. Family Tree

Forgotten things remembered
The tigers eat their young
The body stayed but inside the head
The mind was on the run

Conspiracy of silence
The only way out of pain
Is turn around, run through it man
Too wet to come in from the rain

Tell them “I know they were doing it to you
But don’t try doing it to me”

Let me show you how I love you
It’s our secret, you and me
Let me show you how I love you
But keep it in the family

When you hear them saying, “Trust Me”
Don’t wait to see what’s next
Thrown to the wolves forever trusting
Raised in a form of living hell

Sing a one note song of rage
Live and die within your heart
So beware in the shadows
Your family tree waits in the dark

I say “I know they were doing it to you
But don’t try doing it to me, no, no”

Let me show you how I love you
It’s our secret, you and me
Let me show you how I love you
But keep it in the family tree

Let me show you how I love you
It’s our secret, you and me
Let me show you how I love you
The secret, ha, of the family tree

Let me show you how I love you
It’s our secret, you and me
Let me show you how I love you
But keep it in the family tree

Let me show you how I love you
It’s our secret, you and me (It’s our secret)
Let me show you how I love you
The secret of the family tree (The secret of the family)

Let me show you how I love you
It’s our secret, you and me (Beware of the shadows)
Let me show you how I love you
But keep it in the family tree (Thrown to the wolves for ever tusting)

Let me show you how I love you

9. Youthanasia

Who’d believe with the way things are here
We’d be going anywhere telling people how to live?
Who’d believe we’d spend more shipping drugs and guns
Than to educate our sons? Sorry but that’s what they did

I can’t help but think
I can’t help but think
I can’t help but think
Someone’s forsaken you and me

Luck deserted me and the truth beat out my brains
Men rise on stepping stones of their selves to higher things
I’ve stepped over lots of bodies on my way
Thanks for the information, don’t need no more anything

I can’t help but think
I can’t help but think
I can’t help but think
Someone’s forsaken you and me

We are the damned of all the world with sadness in our hearts
Of the wounded of the wars, we’ve been hung out to dry
You didn’t want us anyway and now we’re making up our minds
You tell us how to run our lives, we run for youthanasia

We are the damned of all the world with sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars, we’ve been hung out to dry
You didn’t want us anyway and now we’re making up our minds
You tell us how to run our lives, we run for youthanasia

We are the damned of all the world with sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars, we run for youthanasia

10. I Thought I Knew It All

Somewhere there’s a reason why things go like they do
Somewhere there’s a reason why somethings just fall through
We don’t always see them for what they really are
But I know there’s a reason just can’t see it from this far

Maybe I don’t like it, but I have no choice
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice
Maybe I don’t like it, but I have no choice
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice

I thought I knew it all (I thought I knew it all)
I thought I had it made (I thought I had it made)
How could it end this way? (How could it end this way?)
I thought I knew (I thought I knew)

Somewhere there’s a reason why things don’t go my way
Somewhere there’s a reason that I cannot explain
Just like the change of season just may not be my turn
But I know there’s a reason the lesson’s mine to learn

Maybe I don’t like it, but I have no choice
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice
Maybe I don’t like it, but I have no choice
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice

I thought I knew it all (I thought I knew it all)
I thought I had it made I thought I had it made)
How could it end this way? (How could it end this way?)
I thought I knew (I thought I knew)

I thought I knew it all (I thought I knew it all)
I thought I had it made (I thought I had it made)
How could it end this way? (How could it end this way?)
I thought I knew (I thought I knew)… I thought I knew

Thought I knew, thought I knew
Thought I knew, thought I knew
Thought I knew, thought I knew
Thought I knew, thought I knew-oh

11. Black Curtains

Hey, look around you, everything’s helter-skelter
Listen up, I warn you, run for cover, run
Bang, it happened, time’s up, Armageddon
Fire, meltdown, the sky is crumbling in

Black curtains never ending
Black curtains

Escape, you’re joking, can’t find no place to run
Hair is burning, my flesh is bubbling up
Blood is boiling, taste copper on my tongue
Fate is coming, welcome it with a smile

Black curtains never ending
Black curtains, fall
Black curtains never ending
Black curtains

Something’s under my skin, somethings very strange
Playing with my mind tempting me to do you in

Am I dreaming? My heart pounds my chest
Held for ransom in a spider’s web
Suffocating, no one hears my calls
Never ending till the black curtain falls

Eah!

Snakes surround me offering their death kiss to me
Down, I’m drowning, how long I hold my breath
Dogs are chasing, my legs are paralyzed
Pray, don’t find me, my life is fading fast

Black curtains never ending
Black curtains, fall
Black curtains never ending
Black curtains

12. Victory

Now, one day I started telling everyone that killing is my business and I was hung like a martyr
For looking down the cross, my skull beneath the skin, prophesied last rites, loved to death my friends
Then I started seeing bad omens in my head, good mourning black Friday will I wake up dead?
If I ain’t superstitious then this won’t mean a thing but some crazy shit has happened since the conjuring

Not even close
Not even close
Not even close
To overdose

Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory

Came anarchy to set the world afire, pain of hook in mouth, in my darkest hour
Corruption of the world peace sells but nobody’s buying, ignorant religion holy wars and the dying, yeah
Tornado nearly got me by the skin o’ my teeth, this was my life, foreclosure of my dreams
May the past rust in peace in hangar 18 and countdown to extinction just be a bad dream

Lucretia said “Hahahahaha…”

Not even close
Not even close
Not even close
To overdose

Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory

Not even close
Not even close
Not even close
To overdose

Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory

Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory
