When Angels and Serpents

Payable On Death When Angels and Serpents Lyrics
1.Addicted

Intoxicated world,
boys and girls.
Fill me up,
but not the hint of self mutilation.
And let me blow my brains, go insane
Throw it in my face,
and watch me chase it.
Stimulate, wide awake,
need to stop this pain inside my head,
cause it's laughing at me.
Injection, explosion,
burning as it surges through my vein.

Cause I, I'm Addicted,
To all the colors that I see,
that you hold in front of me.
And you have changed,
yeah you have changed me.
Why do I love you when I know,
love you when I know,
Your wrong.

Over and over-indulges in anyone or
anything that makes you feel so alive.
I am electrified, I'm so high,
known to all of you,
who are just out to get me.
Fascinate, magic state,
cast a spell and maybe
I might forget who I am.
Cowardice, selfishness,
thank you for letting us watch you die.

Because I, I'm Addicted,
To all the colors that I see,
that you hold in front of me.
And you have changed,
yeah you have changed me.
Why do I love you when I know,
love you when I know.

That I, I'm Addicted,
To all the colors that I see,
that you hold in front of me.
You have changed,
yeah you have changed me.
Why do I love you when I know,
I love you when I know,
Your wrong.

Liar! You are a liar!
Liar! You are a liar!

Because I, I'm Addicted,
To all the colors that I see,
that you hold in front of me.
And you have changed,
yeah you have changed me.
Why do I love you when I know,
love you when I know.

That I, I'm Addicted,
To all the colors that I see,
that you hold in front of me.
You have changed,
yeah you have changed me.
Why do I love you when I know,
I love you when I know,
Your wrong.


2.Shine With Me

So why don't you come with me
Take a trip to the other side?
Where you, you and I,
we can sing, we can fly
We can dance as the stars go by.
And if the heavens should open up
With a vision inside 'Jah love
The earth, and the moon,
and the sun will align
With the voice from the sky above
One love.

So come on and shine with me
like the beautiful star you are.
So come on and shine with me
Shine with me

Float through the sky
And look through my eyes
And then you will see what happens.
Nowhere to hide,
look deep down inside
In life you must take your chances
and come with me, and you will see
My love is like La La La La La La...
and come with me, and you will see
One love.

So come on and shine with me
like the beautiful star you are.
And leave it behind with me
'Cause forever is not that far
So come on and shine with me
like the beautiful star you are.
And leave it behind with me
And shine with me.

Shine On! Shine On!
Shine On! One Love!

So come on and shine with me
like the beautiful star you are.
And leave it behind with me
'Cause forever is not that far
So come on and shine with me
like the beautiful star you are.
And leave it behind with me
And shine with me.

Shine with me
Shine with me


3.Condescending

And this is not pretend,
And you have no reason to feel secure,
Cause this world, It waits for no one.
So don't you fool yourself,
Get out of this imaginary place you call
Reality, it's so deceiving.

You don't get it your way.
Your so Condescending.
We don't do what you say.
Your so unforgiving.

So tell me once again,
How easy it would be if we'd listened,
To you, your paying attention.
So what's the point in you,
Showing us the way
if we don't even care,
To be like you, or even know you.

You don't get it your way.
Your so Condescending.
We don't do what you say.
Your so unforgiving.

You don't get it your way.
Your so Condescending.
We don't do what you say.
Your so unforgiving.

I can't do what you say!
I can't do it your way!
I can't do what you say!
I can't do it your way!

I can't do what you say!
I can't do it your way!
I can't do what you say!
I can't do it your way!
You don't get it your way.
Your so Condescending.
We don't do what you say.
Your so unforgiving.

You don't get it your way.
Your so Condescending.
We don't do what you say.
Your so unforgiving.

Your patronizing,
Your overbearing,
And your so unbending.
You don't understand me.


4.It Can't Rain Everyday

This little on tries
as hard as she can,
Do anything just so she can fit in.
She wants a friend so bad
She'll do whatever they tell her.
To make them smile she would misbehave
But all the while
they would laugh in her face
She begins to cry because
She thought that they liked her

Even though you feel all alone
It can't rain everyday
It don't rain forever
Your sunshine may be gone and I know
It can't rain everyday
It don't rain forever

He works hard everyday of his life
For his son on the way
and his beautiful wife
But today he got a call from his job
They got something to tell him
They laid him off now
he's out on the street
He's got to do what it takes
so his family can eat
Can't even look at his wife
Because he feels like he failed them

Even though you feel all alone
It can't rain everyday
It don't rain forever
Your sunshine may be gone but I know
It can't rain everyday
It don't rain forever

It don't rain
It don't rain forever
It can't rain
It don't rain forever

Reign down, reign down, reign down.
So let it reign down,
reign down, reign down,
Reign down on me now

A young lady's been lost for awhile
But thats okay now
she's having a child
She finally got what she wants
She's got someone who loves her
But this morning she woke up in pain
Nobody had to tell
'cause she knew right away
So she started to cry
because she won't be a mother

Even though you feel all alone
It can't rain everyday
It don't rain forever
Your sunshine may be gone and I know
It can't rain everyday
It don't rain forever

It don't rain
It don't rain forever
It can't rain
It don't rain forever

Reign down, reign down, reign down,
Reign down on me.
Reign down, reign down, reign down

And they won't stop

7.End of the World

It feels like the end of the world
What happen to peace here on earth?
It never gets better but worse
It feels like the end of the world to me

False prophets claim to be the answer
Misleading us and claiming your name
You can see that all the people,
they are dying
Hear the rumors of war
so blow us all away

It feels like the end of the world
What happen to peace here on earth?
It never gets better but worse
It feels like the end of the world to me

Famine in the land of your fathers
Feel the earth giving birth to the dead
In these tribulations,
preach his kingdom
And this is how you know
that it's the end

It feels like the end of the world
What happen to peace here on earth?
It never gets better but worse
It feels like the end of the world to me
It feels like the end of the world
Are we getting what we deserve?
So take it for what it is worth
Cause it feels like
the end of the world to me

It feels like the end of the world
What happen to peace here on earth?
It never gets better but worse
It feels like the end of the world to me
It feels like the end of the world
Are we getting what we deserve?
So take it for what it is worth
Cause it feels like
the end of the world to me
It feels like the end of the world
What happen to peace here on earth?
It never gets better but worse
It feels like the end of the world to me
It feels like the end of the world
Are we getting what we deserve?
So take it for what it is worth
Cause it feels like
the end of the world to me
It feels like the end of the world
What happen to peace here on earth?
It never gets better but worse
It feels like the end of the world to me
It feels like the end of the world
Are we getting what we deserve?
So take it for what it is worth
Cause it feels like
the end of the world to me


8.This Ain't No Ordinary Love Song

I don't belong
Too many wrongs
I'm so undeserving.
I'm lost inside confusing minds.
a slave to what I'm feeling.
Scared of what I'm thinking.
I'm not worried about forgiving you
The simple truth

This ain't no ordinary love song

This love undone
Words left unsung
Now i have become me.
The reasoning escapes my soul
that leads to understanding
Loving you to death is stopping
someone else from living too
Now it's killing you.

This ain't no ordinary love song
Losing control to all my thoughts
I want to let go but i cannot
This is my love it's all i got
Don't take there in hell I'll rot

This is my love it's all i got

This is my love it's all i got

This ain't no ordinary love song
This ain't no ordinary love song


9.God Forbid

We have cause to be uneasy
The evil-utionary process has
begun in a world that hates you
These secrets revealed belong to us
And when worst comes to worst
My peoples come first

God forbid
That i should lose, lose my mind
God forbid
Insanity is just a thought away
God forbid that i should lose my mind
God forbid
Balancing the good that's left in me
Too many things going wrong around us
Too much to be done and so little time
We're so used to bowing down
that we forget how to stand up
And we settle for last in line
But not this time!

God forbid
That i should lose, lose my mind
God forbid
Insanity is just a thought away
Balancing the good that's left in me


10.Roman Empire


11.When Angels & Serpents Dance

Rhythmically moving
Emotions are rising
Quivering to music
Trembling bodies in song
Go unsteadily sliding
Devious gliding
So beautifully sailing
and floating on

Life's real when angels
and serpents dance

Life's real when angels
and serpents dance

Twistedly slipping
Radiant soaring
Winding. maliciously creeping
Flowing
Righteous, moral and just.
Deceitful.
the creature is crawling
The guardian's flying.
the dance is breathing
Who's leading?

Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Who's leading you?
Everything you say?
Everything that you do?
Believing what is true?
One must lead in the dance
Who's leading you?

Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Life's real when angels
and serpents dance
Who's leading you?
Everything you say?
Everything that you do?
Believing what is true?
One must lead in the dance
Who's leading you?


12.Tell Me Why

A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Still repeating his story
To make ourselves clear
A voice is unheard
when it shouts from the hills
Your king in his castel
Never died on this feels

His blood on your hands
A smile on your face
But wicked intentions
When his money to be made
A room with no windows
And a heart that can't feel
Shame with no convictions
and a view to a kill

Tell me why
And why must we fight
And why must we kill
in the name of
what we think is right
and no more
no war
is how do you know

The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
A hand that kills the innocence
who quit to do wrong
your belly is full
While we fight for what remains
The rich getting richer
While the poor become slaves

We kill our own brothers
The truth is never told
If victory is freedome
Then the truth is untold
Surrender your soldiers
Like everyone else
If love is my religion
Don't speak for myself

Tell me why
And why must we fight
And why must we kill in the name
of what we think is right
And no more
No war
Is how do you know

And how do you know ? (4X)

And please tell me why
And why must we fight
And why must we kill in the name
of what we think is right
And no more
No war
Is how do you know

I'm living this life
I'm givin this lies
And how do i die for the name of
what you think is right
And no more
Hoh Lord
Is how do we know
And how do we know?


13.Rise Against

what's the point in knowing
what's the use on going on
if all you do is nothing

what is it you're showing
to all the people lookin' on
leaving us with nothing
just a voice with no sound
what's holding you down?

rise against
rise up for what is right
stand alone
stand alone
are you willing to try?

rise against
and stand up for what is right
when man alone , man alone
are you willing to die?

what's the point in living
what's the use in moving on
if you keep pretending
like there's nothing wrong

what is it you giving
to all of us who wait and hope
for someone we can follow
if you'll lead I'll go
but only you know

rise against
rise up for what is right
stand alone
stand alone
are you willing to try?

rise against
and stand up for what is right
when man alone , man alone
are you willing to die?

what's the point in knowing
if all you do is nothing
what's the point in living
if you keep pretending
if you'll lead I'll go
but only you know

rise against
rise up for what is right
stand alone
stand alone
are you willing to try?

rise against
and stand up for what is right
when man alone , man alone
are you willing to die?
