Still Not Black Enough

W.A.S.P. Still Not Black Enough Lyrics
1.Black Forever

There¹s red in my head
But I don¹t want it
The blues were swarming
There¹s in my soul
Shadows over me and
The only colours I can paint my soul

I want black and don¹t fade away
I want it black forever
Inside of me, all I wanna see¹s
The colours in my head
I¹m in black, the only way
And made it black forever
Go inside and go inside and
Never come back out again

Don¹t colourize me
Cause I don¹t want it
The ravens taken over my soul
The only thing I want is
The only way I wanna go

The reds were my head, the blues were my soul
Swirl in my mind, never let go
Blind my eyes, with a cold embrace
I¹ll lay my veil all across my face
Everyone I used to know
Sees me strange, sees me bold
Everything I used to hold
Will fade away my soul

No confessions, and no regrets
I¹ll paint the black all across my chest
Gimme darkness, and gimme rest
Gimme blackness, or gimme death


2.Breathe

You don¹t have to hear my heart beat
All you need is to look into my eyes
All tell me, I¹m the one your heart needs
I¹m the only one you run to in the night
Oh- let me, burn the words forever mine
Across your heart, across your mind

Take your hands and feel my heart beat
Come and let me feel it in your eyes
All you have to do is touch me
Oh - And lay your flame across my fire
Oh - Let me spread your wings and come inside
And take your heart and make you mine

Come and lay down your heart on me
All that I wanna feel is
Breathe in me
Lay down your heart on me
Feel you inside of me
Breathe on me
Come and take me on, take me down
Oh, take me all, all the way
There¹s only one way
Only one thing I need, all I need
Take me way down
Come and lay down on me


3.Goodbye America

I¹m politcally incorrect
And damn proud of it
I love my country,
But I¹m scared to death of it¹s government
Ya believe what you read,
Cause it¹s all that we give ya
Coz all of history is written by winners
I¹m engaged in a frenzy
Of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I¹m wholeselling hatred
And international incest

To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft feast
I¹ve mastered the arts of death
And foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me
Commit national suicide

I¹m the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
I killed them all and I stole their land
Enslaved the blacks and slaughtered the red man
In god we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth

I have more pigs than I have tits to feed
I embrace the world¹s phoney leaders
And hold the sucklings to my breast
And I¹d fool ya all as I¹d feed ya
I¹ll prop ya up, then strike ya down
And lick your blood up from your ground
Humpty-fuckin¹-dumpty
My empire¹s falling down

Breakdown goodbye America
So long the music¹s died
Freedom last hero¹s wasted
I made you, I¹ll break you
Breakdown goodbye America
It¹s all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knee¹s where
My nation died


4.I Can¹t

I can¹t laugh
I can¹t cry
I can¹t see inside of me
Don¹t know the reason why

I ain¹t straight
And I ain¹t high
I¹m the ugly in between
Can¹t live and can¹t die

I wanna scream
And I can¹t win
My life¹s a living soundtrack
For a human horror film

I can¹t feel
And I can¹t love
My mama never showed me how
I never was enough

I can¹t laugh
And I can¹t smile
I¹ll sacrifice my aged elders
To show me how to die

I can¹t love
And I can¹t feel
And my mother never loved me
Deep down she hated me

I can¹t fuck
I can¹t feel
I am one bizarre motherfucker
What the fuck¹s inside of me

I¹ll kill the beast
So to free my soul
And smash the mirrors
That won¹t let me go
Oh, if there¹s a smile that y see
It¹s only the clockwork orange that¹s in me
I curse the darkness impassioned plea
And tear the heart out and watch me bleed
I¹ll sacrifice my blood for free
To satisfy the vengeance that¹s in me
And bury the mirror that¹s inside of me


5.Keep Holding On

Your sad eyes, never told me
No paradise, here for the lonely
But I hold on, half a heart here in my hands
Been so long, would you know me
Who¹s holding you, who¹s gonna hold me
If you want me, then I¹ll be your man

And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
Can you take me to heaven
Show me the way, cause I¹m no angel
I am lost and
Can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you was holding you down

Will I have your memory
Or will your memory have me
I don¹t know, only time
Knows if I¹ll ever know peace of mine
Only time knows if you¹re mine, knows if you¹re
Mine

And I keep holding on
Holding on till you come back to me
And I keep holding on
Holding on till you run to me
All I can hold is a shadow of a heart that¹s gone
And left me shattered
I¹m lost and
Can I hold you one more time
I guess me holding you
Was holding you down
I guess me holding you
Was holding you down
I guess me holding you
Was holding you down


6.No Way Out Of Here

I went away for whole lot of days
And stripped the soul right outlaw me
Lead away in a crimson haze
The red was rain over me

There ain¹t no way outta here
I try to scream, I can¹t even speak
Why am I the only one
I can¹t get out and I can¹t go on

There ain¹t no way outta here
Forever red and I¹m never free
Climb the walls, I can¹t hold on
I can¹t go back and I can¹t go on

There were faces in the dark and
In me I could not see
The mirror cracked in amillion pieces
And so did I cause Johnny¹s me

I¹ll fade forever black away
I¹ll give all my tomorrows for just one good today
I¹m numb to feel, don¹t know what¹s real
The ghosts is killing me


7.Scared To Death

Grit your teeth, and listen for the gun
Get in the runners block and kneel
And run the human race
That decadent decathlon and
Let the games begin for real
Stop scaring me - It¹s bedlam in paradise
Stop I can¹t see - Nowhere I can¹t hide
Scared to run, this monstrous
Marathon of fear

I run the races with a dark horse to win
Across a finish line of fear
I swim a sea of skin, afraid to drown in flesh
X-Generations revolutions here
Scared to have sex - I don¹t wanna die
Scared I¹ll be next - I¹m scared for my life
Dying to live, but there ain¹t no way
Outta here alive - All we¹re all scared there¹s

Nowhere to run - I¹m scared to death
Nowhere to hide - Scared I¹ll be next
Oh - Stop, stop, stop, stop
Nowhere to run - I¹m scared to death
Nowhere to hide - Scared i¹ll be next
Oh - Stop, stop, stop, stop

Am I a prisoner of the universe ?
Is destiny fixed among the stars ?
Should I cry or laugh ?
All I know is that
The best time to laugh
Is anytime you can
Life¹s one big party - Thrown here by god
We all get invitations - If we want them or, not
It¹s all truth or dare and nothin gis fair, no, no, no
We¹re all scared there¹s

Oh, it¹s the decade of fear
No way out of here, no, no, no
No, no, no - No, no, no - No, no, no
Oh scream in my ears
Oh stop what I hear, no, no, no
No, no, no - No, no, no - No, no, no


8.Somebody To Love

When the truth is found to be lies
You know the joy within you dies

Don¹t you want somebody to love ?
Don¹t you want somebody to love ?
Wouldn¹t you love somebody to love ?
You better find someone to love

Find somebody to love

Find somebody to love

Find somebody to love

When the dawn is rose they are dead,
Yes, and you¹re mine, you¹re so full of red

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his,
Yeah, but in your head, baby,
I¹m afraid you don¹t know
Where it is.

Tears are running,
Running along down your breast
And your friends, baby,
They treat you lik a guest.


9.Still Not Black Enough

Paint a shadow on my heart
In shades of ebony
Paint the sun out of the sky
That rains over me

Black sun rain on me
I need, one, blacksun
Rain on me, rain on me

Tie me to my blackness there
Where I¹m ever free
Taken to the dark edges of
My wicked memories

Pain my soul in indigo, and ebony for me
No colour seen in my eyes, none in my eyes
I¹m naked in my misery
Emotions stripped to bone
I see inside the heart of me
It¹s still not black enough for me

No colours in the heart of me
No colour run in my veins
I hold the black to my breast
It bleeds over me
I can¹t go on, till I get off
For me it¹s still not black enough
With darkness come, my fear is seen
My fear is real, my fear is me.


10.Rock And Roll To Death

Wasp
Rock And Roll To Death
Rock And Roll To Death
Written by Blackie Lawless
From the Album 'First Blood - Last cuts'


Thunder pounding my brains in
Six-string rock and go racing
No-one can save me.
Who will drive me crazy
Oh I hate work -
I hate school;
I got a case of the rock town blues

Friday night I feel ragin' - Midnight gonna be wasted
Friday I'm razin' - And I'm gonna be wasted -
Time to party - raise a glass
Tell everybody to KISS MY ASS!!

Let me go -
Dead or Rock!
Dead or Rock!
Dead or Rock!
Dead or Rock!
Oh as Rock and Roll comes to take my last breath -
Whooo! Rock and Roll to death!!!

Dead or Rock! - Whoah oh oh,
Dead or Rock! - Dead or Rock,
Dead or Rock! - Pass the bullets please,
Dead or Rock!
Oh - find me a grave - help me dig it,
If Rock's dead then bury me with it.

Dead or Rock! - Whoa oh oh,
Dead or Rock! - Whooo!
Dead or Rock! - Pass the bullets please,
Dead or Rock!
Oh - to death do us part 'til my last breath
Give me Rock or give me death.

Dead or Rock!
Dead or Rock!
Dead or Rock!
Dead or Rock!
If Rock and Roll dies then take my last breath -
Whooo! Rock and Roll to death!
