The Taking

Duff McKagan's Loaded The Taking Lyrics
1.Lords Of Abaddon

We are criminal, our crimes have payed,
Makes no difference, what your leaders say,
We earned our right, to kill and and take,
Rape and murder, and we take no blame,

We are the lords of Abaddon,
We are the kings of agony,
We are the lords of Abaddon,
We hold the keys to tragedy,

World full of indifference, distrust and pride,
Borderline aggression, God is on our side,

We are the lords of Abaddon,
We are the kings of agony,
We are the lords of Abaddon,
We hold the keys to tragedy,

We are the lords of Abaddon,
We are the kings of agony,
We are the lords of Abaddon,
We hold the keys to tragedy
Come on!
We are the lords of Abaddon,
We are the kings of agony,
We are the lords of Abaddon,
We hold the keys to tragedy
Come on!


2.Executioner's Song

Kill with a Judas kiss
Revenge ain't sweet when the blood is on your lips

Democracy is such a whore
Fools and kids march off to war

Cold comes the reaper's grin
How will we pay for our greatest sin?

Democracy is such a whore
(Know your history)
Fools and and pawns march off to war
(Without victory, there's no history)

Down underground
Where will you go when the witch hunt turns around?

Democracy is such a whore
(Know your history)
Brothers and sons march off to war
(Without victory, there's no history)
No one wins, no one wins, no one wins


3.Dead Skin

You, you're so god-damn hard to please
You confuse and frustrate me, why must we both go through it?
I said you, it isn't so hard to see
Those things that you did to me, why must you keep them secret?

Break through those clouds
See the stars shine down find solid ground
And peel off all that dead skin
And peel off all that dead skin
You can leave it all behind

Because I, can't seem to get through to you
Your past is something I can't undo, it's so clear you've been
wounded
So why, must I pay now for his deeds
I'm not the one who steals and cheats, what must I do to prove
it?

Break through those clouds
See the stars shine down find solid ground
And peel off all that dead skin
And peel off all that dead skin
And peel off all that dead skin
You can leave it all behind

I will not bend, I am not him!
The past has spoken
You're not dead and broken

Break through those clouds
See the stars shine down, find solid ground
Forget all what has been
Past scars and sins
Peel off all that dead skin
And peel off all that dead skin
And peel off all that dead skin
And peel off all that dead skin you can leave it all behind


4.We Win

Someday you might find, that victory,
Is well worth the bitter fight,
But you've got to give it a try,
You've got to want to deny - the enemy,

We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win

There were days they pushed us around, for all to see,
But we brushed it off and got up from the ground,
When you've got a chance at the crown,
Will you be the one to back down? No,

We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win

The moment when you hit your stride,
Blood and tears been cast aside,
Iron will can't be denied,
We're done waiting for this moment,

We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win
We win, we win, we win, we win, yeah we win


5.Easier Lying

As for now my heart goes out,
You brought me everything but the caged bird still sings,
So many hands they pull me away,
It seems impossible to navigate,

Nothing ever stays the same that will never change,

You wanted a star, to shine on a stage,
But don't you know that hearts will wander when they're
unchained,
I needed a place, cover from the storm,
Now all that bound just seems forever torn,

Nothing ever stays the same that will never change,

Nothing is easy when nothing is true,
It never gets easier lying to you,
Burning the days down and hiding from you,
It never gets easier lying to you,

When you wake up, in the mirror tell me what's the greatest fear
that you got,
Face down undercover have you wandered to another lover,

Nothing is easy when nothing is true,
It never gets easier lying to you,
Burning the days down and hiding from you,
It never gets easier lying to you,
It never gets easier lying to you,
It never gets easier lying to you,
It never gets easier lying to you.


6.She's An Anchor

Saw the tears run down your face,
Guess we saw the signs too late,
Now the wind is gone, you're drifting all alone,

Lift my anchor from your sea,
That vast tranquility,
I was overcome and blinded by the years,

Placing blame and, hiding all the things that shame them,
Fading, hating, you'll never stop this heart from bleeding,

Set my sights on foreign shores,
Woke up there wanting more,
Never saw myself as one to float away,

Placing blame and, hiding all the things that shame them,
Fading, hating, you'll never stop this heart from bleeding,

You only need me when you're drunk and dirty,
You only use me when you feel alone,
You did my drugs and then you take my money,
I'm leaving, you're on your own,

Yeah yeah, you're on your own now,
yeah yeah, you're all alone yeah,
Yeah yeah, you're on your own now,
yeah yeah, you're all alone yeah,

Placing blame and, hiding all the things that shame them,
Fading, hating, you'll never stop this heart from bleeding,

Placing blame and, hiding all the things that shame them,
Fading, hating, you'll never stop this heart from bleeding,


7.Indian Summer


8.Wrecking Ball

Red turns blue the anger burns in you,
When spoken true it spills right out of you,
Ain't too hard to see, you're planning to leave,
You wear that smile while you're lying,

If you're leaving again, (You're just a wrecking ball)
And if you're talking to him, (You're just a wrecking ball)
I will destroy it all, (You're just a wrecking ball)
No one could make me crawl,

Up turns down you drink in wasted ground,
Turning round this drunken jester's crown,
It's easy to see, how cool things could be,
If you'd stay here and stand your ground,

If you're leaving again, (You're just a wrecking ball)
And if you're talking to him, (You're just a wrecking ball)
I will destroy it all, (You're just a wrecking ball)
No one could make me crawl,

And if I quit right now, you can ride it out,
And if I should fall, you could have it all,
As it stands right now, it is my call,
You cannot stall, I'll f*cking wreck it all,

If you're leaving again, (You're just a wrecking ball)
And if you're talking to him, (You're just a wrecking ball)
I will destroy it all, (You're just a wrecking ball)
No one could make me crawl,

And if you're leaving again, (You're just a wrecking ball)
And if you're talking to him, (You're just a wrecking ball)
I will destroy it all, (You're just a wrecking ball)
Yeah yeah, I will destroy it all
Yeah yeah, I will destroy it all
Yeah yeah, I will destroy it all
Yeah yeah, I will destroy it all


9.King Of The World

I've risen through the ashes of tragedy,
I've fallen babe you've seen the worst of me,
And you've seen me fly, hid when I got high,
Now that's all gone by,

Look into my eyes,
I'm the king of the world now honey,
Come along for the ride,
Cause I don't wanna bring anyone else no,

Been witness to the whore this world can be,
I sit in dumb wonder as it falls around me,
Now that's all gone by,

Look into my eyes,
I'm the king of the world now honey,
Come along for the ride,
Cause I don't wanna bring anyone else no,

Don't you try to hide,
I got you in my gaze now honey,
It's like getting high,
Going down in a fire fight, yeah

When everything is upside down,
And the world's burnt to the ground,
I am the nuclear cloud,

Look into my eyes,
I'm the king of the world honey,
Come along for the ride,
Cause I don't wanna bring anyone else no,

Don't you try to hide,
I got you in my gaze now honey,
It's like getting high,
Making love in a fire fight, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's like getting high,
It's like getting high, yeah, yeah, yeah

Look into my eyes,
I'm the king of the world
You're my forgotten girl


10.Cocaine

Empty bottle of Vicodin,
The dirty clothes that I slept in,
Today I'm finally through, it's time for something new,

Morning coffee and Ritalin,
Haven't slept since I don't know when,
I need a friend or two, someone I haven't used,

Tremors, shakes, can't break this chill that's in my veins,
Tremors, shakes, can't stop today, at least I quit cocaine,

You dirty f*ck you lied again,
This isn't black tar heroin,
To get me through the day, I'll do it anyway,

I hid a gun in a darkened place,
A simple short arm's length away,
Somebody's gotta pay, I hate the world today,

Tremors, shakes, can't break this chill that's in my veins,
Tremors, shakes, can't stop today, at least I quit cocaine,

You can't stop me, I can't stop me,
Yeah, can't cure this chill that's in my veins,

Turn, go away, stop knocking,
Turn, go away, stop knocking,
Turn, go away, stop knocking,
Can't you tell there's no one home,

Tremors, shakes, can't break this chill that's in my veins,
Tremors, shakes, can't stop today, I guess I quit cocaine,
Tremors, shakes, can't break this chill that's in my veins,
Tremors, shakes, can't stop today, at least I quit cocaine,


11.Your Name

Read a letter from you today,
In short it said that you've been so far away,
It said where you've been, what's been on your mind,
It makes you feel so much better when there's something to hide,
You're shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Move on from there, get up and go on,
Wait any longer you'll be stuck where you are,
Leave all your things, clean up your face,
The scars of the past are the dust that remain in the way,
Stop shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

How could it be that you sunk down so low?
Word around town is you got no place to go,
Your story's got a crack and you got no one to follow,
I couldn't care less,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Cry to yourself about it,
Drive all your friends insane,
You failed to prove your story,
I will forget your name.


12.Follow Me To Hell

I don't know what I'd do if I ran into you,
I think I'd take a rope and I'd make you a noose,
Watch you kick and flail as you take your last breath,
If the fall first didn't break your neck,

To break your curse,
I'd go one worse,
I'd rid your type,
Exterminate,

For all the hurt, and all the pain,
You feel no wrath, you take no blame,
For what it's worth, I wish you no well,
And I'm going first, follow me to hell,
Follow me to hell, follow me to hell, follow me to hell

You're an animal that just should have been left caged,
A no good mother f*cker with a black and twisted brain,
If I knew first about your deviant plan,
I would have warned that girl about the evils of man,

To break your curse,
I'd go one worse,
I'd rid your type,
Exterminate,

For all the hurt, and all the pain,
You feel no wrath, you take no blame,
For what it's worth, I wish you no well,
And I'm going first, follow me to hell,
Follow me to hell, follow me to hell, follow me to hell

For all the hurt, and all the pain,
You feel no wrath, you take no blame,
For what it's worth, I wish you no well,
And I'm going first, follow me to hell,
Follow me to hell, follow me to hell, follow me to hell
