1. Enter Sandman

Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son, to include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never-never land

Something’s wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight and they aren’t of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragon’s fire and of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never-never land

Hehe…

Now I lay me down to sleep (Now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (Pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (If I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take (Pray the Lord my soul to take)

Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never-never land

Yeah hahaha…
Ouh!
Ye-yeah!
Youoh!

We’re off to never-never land
Take my hand
We’re off to never-never land
Take my hand

We’re off to never-never land (to end)

2. Sad but True

Hey! I’m your life, I’m the one who takes you there
Hey! I’m your life, I’m the one who cares
They! They betray, I’m your only true friend now
They! They’ll betray, I’m forever there

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true

I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad but true

Sad but true

You! You’re my mask, you’re my cover, my shelter
You! You’re my mask, you’re the one who’s blamed
Do! Do my work, do my dirty work, scapegoat!
Do! Do my deeds, for you’re the one who’s shamed

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true

I’m your dream, mind astray
I’m your eyes while you’re away
I’m your pain while you repay
You know it’s sad but true

Sad but true

I’m your dream
I’m your eyes
I’m your pain

I’m your dream (I’m your dream)
I’m your eyes (I’m your eyes)
I’m your pain (I’m your pain)
You know it’s sad but true

Hate! I’m your hate, I’m your hate when you want love
Pay! Pay the price, pay, for nothing’s fair
Hey! I’m your life, I’m the one who took you there
Hey! I’m your life, and I no longer care

I’m your dream, make you real
I’m your eyes when you must steal
I’m your pain when you can’t feel
Sad but true

I’m your truth, telling lies
I’m your reasoned alibis
I’m inside, open your eyes
I’m you

Sad but true

3. Holier than Thou

No more, the crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven’t changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don’t you worry about yourself instead?

Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Before you judge me, take a look at you
Can’t you find something better to do?
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It’s not who you are, it’s who you know
Others’ lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges and build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Yeah! Who the hell are you?

Ye-hey yo!

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Uoh… not!

4. The Unforgiven

New blood joins this Earth and quickly he’s subdued
Through constant pain disgrace, the young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in, this whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts, the young man struggles on and on

He’s known a vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they’ll take away-eay

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known, never shined through what I’ve shown
Never be, never see, won’t see what might have been
What I’ve felt, what I’ve known, never shined through what I’ve shown
Never free, never me, so I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives to running all of his
He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same, he’s battled constantly
This fight he cannot win, a tired man they see no longer cares

The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me-eay

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known, never shined through what I’ve shown
Never be, never see, won’t see what might have been
What I’ve felt, what I’ve known, never shined through what I’ve shown
Never free, never me, so I dub thee unforgiven

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known, never shined through what I’ve shown
Never be, never see, won’t see what might have been
What I’ve felt, what I’ve known, never shined through what I’ve shown
Never free, never me, so I dub thee unforgiven-ah ouoh

Never free, never me, so I dub thee unforgiven-ah ah
You labeled me, I’ll label you, so I dub the unforgiven-ah ah
Never free, never me, so I dub thee unforgiven-ah ah
You labeled me, I’ll label you, so I dub the unforgiven-ah ah

Never free, never me, so I dub thee unforgiven-ah ah

5. Wherever I May Roam

And the road becomes my bride…

And the road becomes my bride, I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide and she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need and with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save to the game you stay a slave

Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will yeah

Oh! But I’ll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home yeah

And the Earth becomes my throne…

And the Earth becomes my throne, I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I’ve grown, by myself but not alone
I ask no one and my ties are severed clean
Less I have, the more I gain, off the beaten path I reign

Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

Ye-yeah will! But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll never mind anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home ye-yeah

But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind
And I’ll take my find anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home, that’s right!

But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still I roam ye-yeah!

Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam ouoh
Wherever I may roam
Wherever I may roam yeah

Wherever I may wonder, wonder, wonder
Wherever I may roam
Ye-yeah wherever I may roam
Ye-yeah wherever I may roam

Wherever I may roam (to end)

6. Don’t Tread on Me

Don’ tread on me
Say don’t tread on me

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged…
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Say don’t tread on me

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore…

Hey!

Don’t tread on me

Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Uhh no no no…

Say don’t tread on me

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore…

Don’t tread on me

Rah!

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore…

Don’t tread on me

7. Through the Never

All that is, was and will be
Universe much too big to see
Time and space never ending, disturbing thoughts, questions pending, limitations of human understanding
Too quick to criticize, obligation to survive, we hunger to be alive yeah

Twisting, turning, through the never
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be ever
Twisting, turning, through the never

In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens, on a quest, meaning, reason, come to be, how it begun
All alone in the family of the sun, curiosity teasing everyone, on our home, third stone from the sun yeah

Twisting, turning, through the never
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be ever
Twisting, turning, through the never

On through the never, we must go
On through the never, out to the
Edge of forever, we must go
On through the never, then never comes

Twisting, turning, through the never
All that is, ever
Ever was, will be ever
Twisting, turning

Who we are, ask forever
Twisting, turning, through the never

Never!

8. Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know, but I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know, but I know

And never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know and I know yeah!

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters

9. Of Wolf and Man

Off through the new day’s mist I run
Out from the new day’s mist I have come
I hunt, therefore I am, harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day’s mist I run
Out from the new day’s mist I have come
We shift, pulsing with the Earth
Company we keep, roaming the land while you sleep

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I’ve been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning, back to the meaning of life

Bright is the moon, high in starlight
Chill in the air, cold as steel tonight
We shift, call of the wild
Fear in your eyes, it’s later than you realized

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I’ve been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning, back to the meaning of life

I feel a change, back to a better day
Shape shift, hair stands on the back of my neck
Shape shift, in wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I have been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning of wolf and man yeah

10. The God That Failed

Pride you took, pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneel
Not the word, not the love
Not what you thought from above

It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows)
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed

Find your peace, find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave, a child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows)
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed ye-heh

I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed

Hey!

Pride you took, pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneel
Trust you gave, a child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed

Follow the god that failed yeah
Broken is the promise, betrayal, betrayal yeah!

11. My Friend of Misery

You just stood there screaming, fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most, the sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear and knowing only what you’ve heard
You, you’re smothered in tragedy and you’re out to save the world

Misery! You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery! There’s much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming, no one caring about these words you tell
My friend, before your voice is gone, one man’s fun is another’s hell
These times are sent to try men’s souls but something’s wrong with all you see
You, you’ll take it on all yourself, remember, misery loves company

Misery! You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery! There’s much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery, my friend of misery

Misery! You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery! There’s much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You just stood there screaming ouh
My friend of misery
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

12. The Struggle Within

Reaching out for something you’ve got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real

Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don’t want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?

(What the Hell) What the Hell?
What is it you think you’re gonna find?
(Hypocrite) Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, the struggling within

Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell

(Reaching out) Reaching out
Grabbing for something you’ve got to feel
(Closing in) Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, struggling within

Struggle

Go!

Reaching out for something you’ve got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell? What is it you think you’re gonna find?
Hypocrite Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, struggling within
