Friday night five o'clock has come. I hit the store. A fifth of rum and cokes are down before I hit the bar. I stumble into 10th St. for three shots. I am a drunken orgy of stupidity, but I don't care Then I go to Neurolux, when I know I’m out of luck. But, I will not remember it at all I drink until I'm 86ed, but I am not done getting ripped. At home, again, I drink until I fall Get shit faced! I wake up with my pride in stitches. Where the hell are all the bitches? Still I feel the bugs from my D.Ts I crack a beer and light a smoke. The hairy dog is hell. I choke it down with force of will and an Aleve I'm still drunk from last night. I Might as well stay drunk for tonight. What will go first, my liver or my lungs? Put on my shades and beater, and throw up on my friends blue-heeler. Then I drink some more because I am young Get Shit faced! I might as well just keep drinking. What the hell-fire am I thinking? I don't care, I'll have another round Burn the wick at both ends, while I make love to my liquid friend, and soon I will be face first on the ground I wake up in a pool of my own filth. I finally banged that milf, but I passed out before I got off rocks Now I better dry out, for a couple days at least. My bloody ulcer made me puke up on my socks Get shit faced!

Step Outside 03:41
There was a time when we were friends, and I’d turn my head from the things you'd do But you have crossed over that line, and I have to choose between me or you There's no where to run. There's no where to hide. Put away your fears, because you know it’s time. Everything was cool. Everything was fine. Now I think it’s time for us to step outside There’s not a reason you’d believe, if I told you exactly how I feel But, you can believe these feelings aren’t new, and you’d better look at me different now Look at me different now! There's no where to run. There's no where to hide. Put away your fears, because you know it’s time. Everything was cool. Everything was fine. Now I think it’s time for us to step outside There's no where to run, there's no where to hide Won't you step outside

Any Faith 03:56
He knows. He waists his time in all these so called dreams. But, he wants to live his life in all this fantasy Nobody understands anymore - why he’s chosen different ways. There's no reason to begrudge him a soul. He still prays, Any faith can save She looks into the sky and wonders about him She’s turned her back on a life, that she doesn't believe it is a sin Nobody understands anymore - why she’s chosen different ways There’s no reason to begrudge her a soul. She still prays Any faith can save They tried to work things out - at least a hundred times. But, there love shattered and drifted apart And, so they’ll move on with broken hearts Nobody understands any more - why they've chosen different ways. There’s no reason to begrudge them a soul. They still pray. Any faith can save.

Proud, I was a man. I worked so hard with these strong hands to build my life What is it worth, when we are all condemned at birth - to die in vein? What else can I choose - now that I have nothing to loose? Take up the knife! Breaking of earth, has shattered what a life is worth. Kill to survive! Massive devastation breeds insanity through hatred, with the boiling of the bloody pools we bath in All society is rotting - begging on our knees into The Sky - is falling down - flames raining - scorching flesh and ground - the end of days Flood to clean the filth - is rising. Humans are the filth - Earths vengeance. Acid rain and gas – suffocates - human airways close – annihilate! Massive devastation breeds insanity through hatred, with the boiling of the bloody pools we bath in Breaking Of Earth

Suffer the masses who feed on his scraps It doesn't matter how many he traps They cannot see that his gospel is filth He sends his armies to gain more wealth Son of desire Controlled by demons with suits and ties Foolishly thinking that they tell no lies Forced to cater to his vengeful needs Regardless of how many will bleed Son of desire He sleeps in his throne room with his dogs and fools He hasn't known true men since his fathers ruled Weakened backs shatter from the weight of his pride But his jesters are demons. In his ears they have lied He cherishes nothing that he takes for free He keeps on walking while they grasp at his feet Spinelessly noble seeing not what he's done White eyes are reddened dark times have begun Son of desire.

Creature 05:19
I am climbing upward from the bottom to the top and if you try to stand in my way I will crush you. Take you to the bottom of the pit where I have come from where the pain can be more than you imagine. Waiting for the thunderstorm that beckons for the moment when she will be able to destroy my prison. Then I will be set free from the thousand years of torture that was given by the village priest who damned me. CREATURE Waiting for the season when the sun will sink from heaven and the skies will overflow into the darkness. Underneath the ocean is a population growing of the creatures that will re-inhabit the earth.  Massive devastation breeds insanity to hatred with the boiling of the bloody pools we bath in. Fisted flying fury reeking havoc upon nature bringing prayer to a screaming halt in a heart beat. CREATURE Trash this human species who has reigned for countless eons while I suffered writhing helplessly in torment. Human beings are the first to bask inside my vengeance as I rip and tear their world into a blood pool. Creatures then will line them up and bring them into slaughter to be butchered just like cattle to sustain me. Then I will be once again the master of all nature and ascend to claim my throne inside the heavens CREATURE

Sacred 06:00
Sacred you say - I don't believe. Sacred your way - it doesn't work for me. Holy you say - your lies I can see. Holy your way - you can't heal my pain for free.   Two thousand years of war and peace - of pestilence and disease. You feed yourself with bloody hands - you slaughter both women and man. Preying on our hopes and dreams - on our fear of loss you feed. I make my own destiny. You are not my god.   Hatred I say - selling our souls for free. Hatred I say - you think me blind but I see. Heaven you say - I'm just a pawn on a board. Heaven you say - enforcing your peace with a sword.   Two thousand years of war and peace - of pestilence and disease. You feed yourself with bloody hands - you slaughter both women and man. Preying on our hopes and dreams - on our fear of loss you feed. I make my own destiny. You are not my god.   Doctrine you preach - you buy your heaven with death. Doctrine you teach - you're still blind in your last breath. Blindness you preach - branding your lies from birth Blindness you teach -making us doubt our worth.   Two thousand years of war and peace - of pestilence and disease. You feed yourself with bloody hands - you slaughter both women and man. Preying on our hopes and dreams - on our fear of loss you feed. I make my own destiny. You are not my god.

The story begins with a child, born into this world. Taught how to think and how to feel - guided by what's real. Then came a time when he grew older, and opened up his eyes. He saw the world for what it was, and what his culture does.   The world is a hole. I'm falling over and down. The further I go, the less I'll find my way out. If darkness befalls, will I soon loose my crown? I only see the black before my hands as the world comes crashing down.   And we're bathing in ashes again. And we write the words that tell us we've sinned. Murder, power, and lies - our own fault. Can't you see we're damning it all?   Now he has grown into a man and no one does he trust? He can't believe in what he's learned - the truth long since been burned. Trusted the truth from his teachers and found out they had lied He filled in the blanks until he was gone - and led again by the blind.   The world is a hole. I'm falling over and down. The further I go, the less I'll find my way ou. If darkness befalls, will I soon loose my crown? I only see the black before my hands as the world comes crashing down.   And we're bathing in ashes again. And we write the words that tell us we've sinned. Murder, power, and lies - our own fault. Can't you see we're damning it all?   And as he lays feeling empty, on his dying bed.   He thinks of all that he has learned, and knows he'll soon be dead. And at the end of his life, he tried not to be a fool. Too hard and cold he did become, and he knows he's been a tool.   The world is a hole. I'm falling over and down. The further I go, the less I'll find my way ou. If darkness befalls, will I soon loose my crown? I only see the black before my hands as the world comes crashing down.   And we're bathing in ashes again. And we write the words that tell us we've sinned. Murder, power, and lies - our own fault. Can't you see we're damning it all?

Amadeus Jig 01:30

They say that metal's dead - who cares, so what? Long for the days of leather, motor bikes, and sluts. Heavy metal will come back - beat your drums with a baseball bat! Alternative music - alternative to what? I make better music with my butt. Breaking bones and ripping flesh. Trailer trash, mullets, and incest. I pick my teeth up off the bar room floor, I kicked your ass and slammed your dick in the door, brutha!

I Know I 02:39
I know I can set me free forever – for ever.   In my eyes is the sun and the sky for the last time.   As I dream of an easy way to die I cry.

Cry 04:29
If I could find my self again, I'd lose all who cry for me. Every day that they pretend - waste their tears they shed for me.   But all their tears will dry.   If I could fall down on my knees, I would beg them to let me die.   If I could make them hear my pleas, they would know how hard I cry.   But all my tears will dry.   Wasted years, and wasted greed - wasted life that's forced on me. Forced to live to fill your needs. I’m already dead, just leave me be.   I'm kept alive to please your god. An honest god would let this end. When my god sees me she cries. For she knows I'm already dead.   But all her tears will dry.   Wasted years, and wasted greed - wasted life that's forced on me. Forced to live to fill your needs. I’m already dead, just leave me be.   Coveted life I live in vein. All I want to know is death. We all have suffered from my pain. You dread as I prey for my last breath.   Then all our tears will dry.   Wasted years, and wasted greed - wasted life that's forced on me. Forced to live to fill your needs. I’m already dead, just leave me be.

Betrayal 07:10
Forever fighting - Kings blood it will last. Struggling to keep order - Our kingdoms they will clash   Until we die.   Struggling to keep order - the blood line of the crown. Resisting all false profits - in black blood they will drown.   Until they die.   Seething, screaming, usurpers of the line. Hating, waiting, in shadows they lie. The blessed fire seers their blackened hearts - power denied. Scepter of wisdom passes from my hand - preserve the line.   Born of twisted fury - defending to the death. Immortal sacred army - breathing our last breath   Until we die   All who stand before us - pass before the sword.   Victims of our vengeance - kneel before our lord!   Until they die.   Seething, screaming, usurpers of the line. Hating, waiting, in shadows they lie. The blessed fire seers their blackened hearts - power denied. Scepter of wisdom passes from my hand - preserve the line.   Vengeance met with honor. Bone will meet with steel.   - Allegiance to one banner. The dragon bears the seal.   Until we will die   Seething, screaming, usurpers of the line. Hating, waiting, in shadows they lie. The blessed fire seers their blackened hearts - power denied. Scepter of wisdom passes from my hand - preserve the line.
