1.Nice guys

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Everybody givin', nobody takin'
I'm tried to be a nice guy in the past
Well see this boy a livin'
He's sinkin' and a swimmin' and
Nobody knows he's drownin' fast

Well I met her today
A lady and a lawyer, she told me
Of my reward for all the
Things I've done the truth to her
Was none, now I lay my
Guilt down on her

I say nice guys, they finish last
Don't give me another chance
If you do I'll take my guns
And watch you dance
I say nice guys, they finish last

Well I saw her today
You know things have changed
It's time to get my revenge
For all the things I've done
The truth to her was none
I lay all my guilt down on her

I say nice guys, they finish last
Don't give me another chance
If you do I'll take my guns
And watch you dance
I say nice guys, they finish last


2.Just like me

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

I think about you
And I dream about you
In your white night life
But you your not quite right
You make me believe in the night
Yes this is your life

Well you're just like me
You're not a king
And you're not a queen
You're just like me

And I have a sole
I never really lost control
And you, you have not right
Can't you see, can't you see
You're just like me
Your identity is lie a leaf on a tree
You look you listen you follow me
The father wind blows from the far north
Your mind is somewhere under the parch
You're like me, you're just like me
You're like me, you're just like me
Tell me of your sacred prayer
Look at me with your green-eyed stare
All your lies, they sound the same
To me it doesn't really matter
We're all the same, you're just like me


3.In time

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Flashing red lights tell the time of day
Fucked little boxes you can sit and watch you life pass
Thoughts of yesterday when things were alright
The caring are cared for you didn't have to fight

People become bodies rotting smelling flesh
It, it's all over it's all over in time
And time again passes enemies become friends
Survivors start over in a new place, in a new time


4.Hell On Earth

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Mike Roche, Marshall Rohner, Joe Wood

Suicide, it's on the TV
Homicide, it's on the streets
Try to ask your momma
She say, she don't know
Try to ask your daddy
But he's got to go, yeah

Your looking out your window, baby
What you see is what you get

Welcome to hell on earth
Welcome for what it's worth

Every night I reach inside
Staring in the mirror
I wonder why, I said
â½Welcome to hell on earthâ

It's all inside, It's never easy
Cut and die, I live or die
Try to ask your best friend
He say, he don't know
Try to ask your daddy
But he's got to go, yeah

Your looking out your window, baby
What you see is what you get

Welcome to hell on earth
Welcome for what it's worth

Every night I reach inside
Staring in the mirror, you wonder why
Welcome to hell on earth

In the night you hear the sirens
Every night you wonder why
There is no one to turn to
There is no place to hide
If you want to pull through
You got to reach inside

I said, welcome to hell on earth
Welcome for what it's worth


5.Angel

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Jim Faraci, Mike Roche, Marshall Rohner, Joe Wood

Empty arms torn apart
Angel walked out, left me broken heart
Everyday I take the blame
I let my whole world slip away

I had an angel
That time was everything to me
In the beginning we were, we were forever

Clouds in my future
Now all alone I'm in the rain
The pain, it whispers my name

Empty arms torn apart
Angel walked out, left me broken heart
Everyday I take the blame
I let my whole world slip away

Never so lonely
Alone I'm locked down in this cage, the key
She took it from me

Someone release me
I've done my time, now set me free
Oh, I need, I need someone to help me again

Empty arms torn apart
Angel walked out, left me broken heart
Everyday I take the blame
I let my whole world slip away

I remember when we were lost back then
Lost in time on our own
I'll see your face forever
Your eyes, your touch I'll never
When I'll never feel again, I'll never feel again

Empty arms torn apart
Angel walked out, left me broken heart
Everyday I take the blame
I let my whole world slip away

Empty arms torn apart
Angel walked out, left me broken heart
Everyday I take the blame
I let my whole world
My whole world slip away


6.Blow By Blow

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Marshall Rohner, Joe Wood

I've played the game with the fat man in the city
I've seen the lies become the truth
I've learned the name of the game is have no pity
I've learned it's all inside of you

You got to throw away those sympathy feelings
Stick to your guns and make a stand
You got to throw away those cards that they are dealing
You got to take it while you can

When it rains you know it's gonna pour
The storm outside is knocking at my door
The pain it brings something you'll never know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow

All your wicked nightmares you say that you don't know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow
All the time it's coming blow by blow
Blow by blow

Sometimes I wonder what is going wrong
And where my next heartache is coming from
I hear the thunder I know it won't be long
Before I see the night take down the sun

You got to throw away those sympathy feelings
Stick to your guns and make a stand
You got to throw away those cards that they are dealing
You got to take it while you can

When it rains you know it's gonna pour
The storm outside is knocking at your door
The pain it brings something you'll never know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow

All your wicked nightmares you say that you don't know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow
All the time it's coming blow by blow
Blow by blow

When it rains you know it's gonna pour
The storm outside it's knocking at your door
The pain it brings something you'll never know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow

All your wicked nightmares you say that you don't know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow
All the time it's coming blow by blow

The pain it brings something you'll never know
And all the time it's coming blow by blow
All the time it's coming blow by blow
All the time it's blow by blow


7.Change Today

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Well, ain't we gonna let us know what is going on?
Yeah, people lie and so will I, and I still wonder why
I wonder why, why people lie? Why people lie, I wonder why?

Well, don't ask about tomorrow, tomorrow's just the same
Yeah, people die and so will I but I still wonder why
I wonder why, why people die? Why people die, I wonder why?

Well, why can't they just tell us what will happen?
No they shouldn't have to lie
Well, why can't they just tell us what will happen?
The future lies right through their eyes
Right through their eyes, right through their eyes

Machine moves on until you stop it
Yeah, you'll be unseen, you're riding atop it
You're too young to kill and you're too old to drop it
So change today, change today, 'cause we ain't gonna forfeit
I wonder why, why people lie? Why people die, I wonder why?


8.How do

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Well I don't mind if you drink or smoke
It makes no difference to me
But when you start puttin' words in my throat
The point there I just can't see
See I'm the kinda guy who's easy to please
I just do what I do
Nothing gonna make me change my ways
Not money, not drugs, not even you

So don't mind my mind
It's just another thought to pass the time, How Do

Well everybody do what you wanna do
Gonna work now naturally
No one here gonna tell you how
Or tell you what to see
See life is easy and it's not that hard
If you know what you gotta do
So go make it happen cause life is action
And fate is up to you

So don't mind my mind
It's just another thought to pass the time, How Do

Well we don't mind if you drink or smoke
It makes no difference to us
But when you start puttin' words in our throats
The point there we just can't see
See we're the kinda guys that are easy to please
We just do what we do
Nothing gonna make us change our ways
Not money, not drugs, not even you


9.Red Shadows

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Something has changed today
Everything is out of place
You said we had to go
Because you saw the red shadows

You can close your eyes it won't go away
You know the end is here today
Say goodbye, turn your head
The time has come just like you said

Red, red shadows
Oh, red shadows

I can feel the electric rains
The night won't come again
And your face, it has turned so gray
You wish it was yesterday, yesterday

Goodbye my love, I'll see you soon
I don't know where I don't have a clue
Don't look back, don't make the turn
They told me that these red shadows burn

Red shadows
Oh, red shadows

Tell me now is it true
Are these red sky's really blue
Tell me well is it a lie
Because I don't see any sky at all

Just red shadows
Oh, red shadows

I can feel the electric rains
The night won't come again
And your face, it has turned so gray
We all wish it was yesterday, yesterday

Tell me is it true
Are these red sky's really blue
Tell me is it a lie
Because I don't see any sky at all, at all
No sky at all, at all, at all, at all


10.Revenge

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

I am a sinner and I'll be back
I am a gypsy I get what I can
I've got one thing and I like to call it
Revenge, revenge

I've been rocked, you know I've been rolled
I've been kicked around and you know I've been told
I've got one thing and I like to call it revenge, my best friend
Well I've got one thing and I like to call it revenge

Another gun shot there is blood on the street
I see the fear in everyone I meet
They live in L.A. too many years
They see the games come and go
On people's fears for revenge, my best friend
Revenge, my best friend

Too many funerals there's too many tears
Your mamas crying and you don't even hear
She live in L.A. too many years
She seen the games 'cause she knows
Those peoples fears for revenge, for revenge

You sit and learn children live and let live
Because diet means dead in the end
In the end there is no more revenge in the end
No, no, no, no, no
'Cause in the end there is no more revenge in the end


11.Black Magic

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

No, I don't don't don't don't don't believe

I believe in magic
I don't believe in love
'Cause I read your starlines
I didn't see no love

'Cause I saw your black cat
I saw your witch crafts
I don't need your 666 pack
I don't need your love

Well, you left yourself naked
For me and my friends to see
Your iced over graveyard
Supposed to put a spell on me

I believe in magic
I don't believe in love
We don't rate your starlines
I didn't see no love

I saw you walkin' downtown
With a man in black yesterday
No ifs, ands or buts
It doesn't really matter what you say

'Cause I saw your black cat
I saw your witch crafts
I don't need your 666 pack
I don't need your love

I believe, I believe, I believe
In black magic
I believe, I believe, I believe
In black magic

I believe, I believe, I believe
In black magic
I believe, I believe, I believe
In black magic

I believe, I believe, I believe
In black magic
I believe, I believe, I believe
In black magic


12.Still the Same

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

How sweet is music to a deaf man's ear
Tell me who could dream sweet dreams in this world of fear
How beautiful is love when you can't see that far
Wish a wish with me on that falling star

In my dreams
One thing never changes in my dreams

Well, it's still the same
Only the faces change in my dream
Only the faces change in my dream
I can't find no one to blame

Well, it's still the same
Only the faces change in my dream
Only the faces change in my dream
I can't find no one to blame

So little in my world so tall
So big in my world so small
Everthin' matters but nothin' matters at all
A nothin' matters at all, no, no

I looked through my window, I watched you say goodbye
You didn't hear me cry, you didn't see me die
Oh, this livin' nightmare, oh, will it ever end
Oh, will I find a friend, oh, will I live again

Oh, in my dreams
Oh, one thing never changes in my dreams

Well, it's still the same
Only the faces change in my dream
Only the faces change in my dream
I can't find no one to blame

Well, it's still the same
Only the faces change in my dream
Only the faces change in my dream
I can't find no one to blame

So little in my world so tall
So big in my world so small
Everthin' matters but nothin' matters at all
Nothin' matters at all, no

It's still the same
I can't find no one to blame
All my dreams are still the same
It's still the same


13.Let Me Go

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Mike Roche, Marshall Rohner, Joe Wood

Hey, Mister police man
Better make the call
I think your bullet, it hit me
Before it hit the wall

Don't bring me no doctor
Just let me fall and fade away

Well, I close my eyes now and I see I'm not alone
I hear the angels and they want me to come home
'He was the joker', they'll be writing on my stone
Just lay me down, just lay me down and let me go
Just let me go

I never wanted no trouble
But it follows my name
Just the way the cards fell
At the end of the game

Don't call me no preacher
Just let me fall and fade away
I don't need no preacher
Just let me fall and fade away

Well, I close my eyes now and I see I'm not alone
Well, I hear the angels and they want me to come home
'He was the joker', they'll be writing on my stone
Just lay me down, just lay me down and let me go
Just let me go, just let me go

Hey, mister police man
Well, I place no blame
Fate has its reason
Well, I was in the way

Don't call my sister
Just tell them all, I went away
Don't call my sister
Just tell them all, I went away

Well, I close my eyes now and I see I'm not alone
I hear the angels and they want me to come home
'He was the joker', they'll be writing on my stone
Just lay me down, just lay me down and let me go
Just let me go, just let me go, just let me go


14.American Zone

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

There's blood on the streets again today
All the people dying, what a price we have to pay
Around the world they're fightin', it's not that far away
Feel the darkness, can we change our ways?

We line in the American zone
Free of fear in our American home
Swimmin' pool and digital phone
What do we say when Johnny comes home?

Johnny just got back from war today
Beiruit weekend, the powder keg
He was 20 years old and he lost both of his legs
We're all really sorry today

We line in the American zone
Free of fear in our American home
Swimmin' pool and digital phone
What do we say when Johnny comes home?

What do we say, what do we say
What do we say when Johnny comes home?
And he lost his legs


15.It's Gray

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Once around the cycle you can get used to it
Twice around the cycle you can get used to it
Three times around the cycle and you start to get sick
Four times around the cyle and you wonder is it worth it

Well I don't know what it's all about
And it makes me wonder will it ever work out
Well I don't know and it makes me feel so down
It's crazy

You tell me that you love me when you know it's just a lie
You tell me that you love me causes you know it makes me cry
Well I look into your eyes and see all I fear
This gray game you're playin' keeps me cryin' black tears

Well I don't know what it's all about
And it makes me wonder will it ever work out
Well I don't know and it makes me feel so down
It's crazy

You can look one way, you can feel the gray game
You look the other way, you can see it's just the same
We live out our lives in fear and shame
Lies, and adultry and everything else that maims

Well I don't know what it's all about
And it makes me wonder will it ever work out
Well I don't know and it makes me feel so down
It's crazy


16.John

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

Hey
There's rain on my door step, I got music in my mind
Time on my hands to sit and wonder why
In this world of dark angels and blood ridden reapers
With money and the power of life, they live as our keepers

I wanna be alone today 'cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain, the sadness gonna numb the pain everyday,
everyday

They give you golden promise, the knowledge of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings, rosy faces
I saw the wart on TV today, a speech for all, but nothing to say
And I wonder, why, I ask myself, why, I believe
Well, it looks like I've been deceived

I wanna be alone today, yeah, that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain, the sadness gonna numb the pain everyday
Do you know your name, all alone in the rain
Now we're all the same, I'm gone today

They give you golden promise, the knowledge of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings, rosy faces
Golden promise, the knowledge of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings, rosy faces

Golden promise, the knowledge of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings, rosy faces
Golden promise, the knowledge of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings, rosy faces

Golden promise, the knowledge of the ages


17.Flowers By the Door

Lyricist:Mitch Dean, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, Joe Wood

All my life it has been a dream
An endless nightmare so it seems
Tonight's the night, yes this is the end
You've heard it before, this is what I said

All I think about gone yesterdays
All the things that people would say
Well tonight's the night, I'm gonna find the truth, oh yeah
Tonight's the night, goodbye to you, goodbye, goodbye

I can't take it anymore
No, I can't make it anymore
No don't say nothing 'cause baby there ain't no more
Just leave your flowers by the door, leave 'em by the door
Leave 'em by the door

Girl you can't see me now, 'cause I'm in the day
It's all over, no one left to pay
I'm finally happy with no yesterday, no
I'm still alive, but I'm in the grave, I'm in the grave

Because I can't take it anymore
No, I can't make it anymore
No don't say nothing 'cause baby there ain't no more, oh
Just leave your flowers by the door, leave 'em by the door
Leave 'em by the door


18.Code Blue

Lyricist:Todd Barnes, Ronald Emory, Jack Grisham, Micheal Roche

I never got along with the girls at my school
Filling me up with all their morals and their rules
They'd pile all their problems on my head
I'd rather go out and fuck the dead

'Cause I can do what I want
And they won't complain
I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck the dead

Middle of the night so silently
I creep on over to the mortuary
Lift up the casket and fiddle with the dead
Their cold blue flesh makes me turn red

Do what I want
And they won't complain
I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck the dead

And I don't even care how she died
But I like it better
If she smells of formaldehyde

Never on the rag or say leave me alone
They don't scream and they don't moan
Don't even cry if I shoot in their hair
Lying on the table she smiles and she stares

'Cause I can do what I want
And they won't complain
I wanna fuck, I wanna fuck the dead


19.80 Times

Lyricist:Todd Barnes, Ronald Emory, Jack Grisham, Michael Roches

80 times was all it took for him
He has no more tries
No one seems to care too much for him
You can see it in his eyes

Drive down the street that he's on
Don't look his way
You keep going on and on and on
But you can't hear him say

'Help, help, help me, help, help'


20.Superficial Love

Lyricist:Todd Barnes, Ronald Emory, Jack Grisham, Michael Roche

Superficial love, only for a fuck
But love is incest and it's only for a fuck
Peace time, war time, country's in vein

All die for this land, some over seas
We live for the summons
They serve our country
Army, Navy, Air Force or jail

But that's the American way
What it is to be free
If that's what they call freedom
It's not for me


21.Abolish Government/Silent Majority

Lyricist:Todd Barnes, Ronald Emory, Jack Grisham, Michael Roche

Abolish government, it's nothing to me
Forget about god, He's not here to see
We live by a system a perfect mold
People perfect people who are poor and old

Lives were spent on the ladder of success
Working for nothing in this, in this worthless mess
Presidents a name, presidents a label
Highest man on the government table

America, land of the free
Free to the power of the people in uniform

People are so blind they just can't see
Send your son to boot-camp, send him off to war
If he comes back he'll be dead and nothing more
Struggle for a land, for a country, for a freedom
All you mindless people looking for someone to lead them

Wake up to the same old shit
Live your life to suit their fit
Some people, they don't like your hair
Police, they just don't care

Snipers that want to be
Rifle sites are aimed at me
Wake up silent majority

The government, they don't want us here
You folks can't feel that fear
You can walk the streets today
You can walk in your own way

People think that I'm crazy
These people just can't see
Wake up silent majority

Live your life day by day
Doing everything that they say
Silent majority

Promote freedom, let it be heard
Don't forget that it's only a word
Silent majority
When you gonna wake up?


22.Die For Me

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

You never knew me until you needed me
That's when you called on the phone for me
That's when you called for me, one life to live

You give it to your country
Somehow I knew that you were lying to me
That's when you called for me, one life to live

I'm a number, not a name
I'm a pawn of your game
I'm a number, not a name
I'm a pawn of your stupid fucked up game

You took me to your factory
You made a robot outta me
Learned to kill so swiftly
How to die with dignity


23.Weathered Statues

Lyricist:Barnes Francis, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd, Roche
Michael Paul

Weathered statues
Tin soldiers that march in our parks
Wrapped in yellowed newsprint
On their benches in the dark

Their faces filled with sadness
Sorrow drawn from your nights
Survivin' on old glories
But now the, the glories have died

Lonely men who are tortured
Once proud but not for long
Gnarled hands hold canes
Where the guns once were before

Taunted by the children
Whose parent's lives he saved
Forgotten by a state
Whose leg in war he gave

Silver gleams upon his chest
Though sweat gleams on his brow
Darker days and sable nights
Who work upon his soul

His honor flew away from him
Like pigeons on the wind
Spendin' his last pennies
On cheap wine and sins

Still they make the soldiers
And soldiers still grow old
Hundred minds with dignity
They let the young men die

Another day, another statue
Falls out in the dawn
Weathered statues
Still march on and on


24.Funeral March

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

Cry above a nameless grave
But all that's there is motionless
Angels sob with vermin's fangs
A funeral dirge drifts slowly by

Puppets they who come and go
And laugh but smile no more
Evil things in robes of sorrow
They are neither man nor woman

Hear the menace of their tones
In the silent watch of the night
Evil things in robes of sorrow
They are neither man nor woman

Cry above a nameless grave
But all that's there is motionless
Angels sob with vermin's fangs
A funeral dirge drifts slowly by


25.Property Is Theft

Lyricist:Barnes Francis G, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd,
Roche Michael Paul

Says to shut my mouth
Make me quit my thoughts
Can't stop me from thinking
About the hope I had

Property is theft
Property is theft

This for just another day
Don't care what they've to say
Why should they want to talk to you?
Maybe it's 'cause we know the truth

Property is theft
Property is theft

Money runs the world
God's the only way
Don't think you can win
'Cause we'll just make you pay

Property is theft
Property is theft

This for just another day
Don't care what they've to say
Why should they want to talk to you?
Maybe it's 'cause we know the truth

Property is theft
Property is theft


26.You Don't Have To Die

Lyricist:Isaac Hayes

It's 1980 and things aren't so steady
Now you've got four years to live
Are you going to be the next one standing in the traffic line?
Well, you better say your prayers, son
Because it's now or never
You don't have to be their puppet boy
You don't have to die

Sooner or later you'll give it a try
It's now or never to think of something to do with your life
Sooner or later you'll give it a try
It's now or never to think of something to do with your life

It's 1980 and things aren't so steady
Now you've got four years to live
Are you going to be the next one standing in the traffic line?
Well, you better say your prayers, son
Because it's now or never
You don't have to be their puppet boy
You don't have to die

Sooner or later you'll give it a try
It's now or never to think of something to do with your life
Sooner or later you'll give it a try
It's now or never to think of something to do with your life


27.Love Story

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

Last night I lay awake
My eyes were dry with the pain
Sometimes I wish that I would just die
Save me from seeing you again

I knew you used me but I didn't care
I was happy just being together
Sometimes I wonder if I should be with you
All you ever do is ignore me

You never talk when your friends are around
Too bitchin' to see you with me
Won't call, won't waste your time
Too busy to send your love to me

That time I held you so tight in my arms
I was just wishing the night wasn't ending
That's when you told me you couldn't see me
I thought our love was just beginning

Forever is just that with you it ends
Though you're in mind as I lay here
Can't stand it no longer I've gotta give in
I call you again and again and again

Forever is just that with you it ends
Though you're in mind as I lay here
Can't stand it no longer I've gotta give in
I call you again and again and again


28.World War III

Lyricist:Barnes Francis G, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd,
Roche Michael Paul

Jimmy carter ran for President again
You voted for who you want but the Government wins
It's not a question of who can do the job
It's just a matter of how much money you have

In the world war three
World war three
Where do I stand in this form of power?
Where do I fit in this Government?
I find no choice
Third world war
And you're the victims
Third world war
And you're the victims

If I don't register, I have to pay
I refuse to go there's no fuckin' way
The systems lookin' for a drastic change
Don't look at me 'cause I'm out of your range

In the world war three
World war three
Where do I stand in this form of power?
Where do I fit in this Government?
I find no choice
Third world war
And you're the victims
Third world war
And you're the victims

In the world war three
World war three
Where do I stand in this form of power?
Where do I fit in this Government?
I find no choice
Third world war
And you're the victims
Third world war
And you're the victims

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

I won't go
I won't go
I won't go
I won't go

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

I won't go
I won't go
I won't go
I won't go

Don't go


29.Dance With Me

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

Dance with me my dear
On a floor of bones and skulls
The music is our master
The devil controls our soul

Swirling and swirling
The music all our turning
Swaying to the sounds of a demonic beat

All dead our partners
As we walk into the room
Frightening but delighting
Our host unearthly gloom

Cold blood in my veins roars
I've been too long uncaged
My body's in wild convulsions
As I'm falling into the dust

A ring of death is on me
Like a halo to the Gods
I'm bathed in mortal sorrow
My innocence is lost

Dance with me my dear
On a floor of bones and skulls
The music is our master
The devil control, control

Swirling and swirling
The music all our turning
Swaying to the sounds of a demonic beat

A ring of death is on me
Like a halo to the Gods
I'm bathed in mortal sorrow
My innocence is lost


30.Sounds Of Laughter

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

I can hear the sounds of laughter
Could it be they're laughing at me
I can hear the roar of thunder
I'm mad, I'm deranged

I see clown in costumes voices that carry
Their message to my mind
I'm like a child so young and carefree
My eyes see what they want to see

Lights are flashing, the colors are blurring
There are patterns in my mind
Things are hidden to the world around me
But still they say I'm blind

They wrap me up in a web of lies
Meet the man who's locked inside
I'm too many people in too many places
I've a split personality

I can hear the sounds of laughter
Could it be they're laughing at me
I can hear the roar of thunder
I'm mad, I'm deranged

I see clown in costumes voices that carry
Their message to my mind
I'm like a child so young and carefree
My eyes see what they want to see


31.Word Is

Lyricist:Barnes Todd F, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd, Roche
Michael Paul

I used to love her a long time ago
When things were fine now that's not so
I'm searching through dark clouds for silver linings
And I'm always searching but I'm never finding

Look to my eyes and tell me what you see?
I'm empty inside but a small part of me
It's listening to rumors and believing lies
That parts always searching but it's never finding

Now I've met another and she's just the same
She fools around and she plays her games
I'm so tired of losing the games she is playing
I'm so tired of losing but my heart keeps on playing

She says she loves me, my friends say she don't
I'm so confused don't know which way to go
So I'm back to the dark clouds looking for silver linings
And I'm always searching but never finding

I used to love her a long time ago
When things were fine, now that's not so
I'm searching through dark clouds for silver linings
And I'm always searching but I'm never finding

Look to my eyes and tell me what you see?
I'm empty inside but a small part of me
It's listening to rumors and believing lies
That parts always searching and it's never finding


32.Man and Machine

Lyricist:Barnes Todd F, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd, Roche
Michael Paul

When I'm driving in my car
I don't care about anything
When I'm driving in my car
I don't care about anyone

Man and machine, machine and man
We're always together they can't understand
Give anything for her velvet seats
Do anything just to hear her squeal

Man and machine, machine and man
We're always together they can't understand
Foot's on the pedal, such a crazy thing
Never gonna stop loving this machine

Wheels are rolling with a rockabye motion
I love my car
Sirens screaming through the city speeding
But I'll never stop

But I'll never leave my car
Car and me such a crazy thing
And I'm never gonna

When I'm driving in my car
I don't care about anything
When I'm speeding in my car
I don't care about anyone

Judge on the bench made clear his demands
We're gonna have to have your license young man
Listen judge, don't you have a heart
I ain't a criminal, just in love with a car

Back on the streets behind the wheel
The paper's gone but I still got the feel
Life of danger, a life of speed
Life of trouble for my car and me


33.Silent Scream

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

Cobwebbed stairs, the ancient bones
I'm the shadow rippling cobblestones
I'm the stagnant swamp, the black lagoon
I'm the branches scratching at the moon

I'm the funeral service, the unknown mourner
I'm the demon cowering in the corner
I'm the sextons spade, the new thrown clay
I'm what's left when they walk away

I'm the ebony coffin, satin lining
Pale thin lips in the back room dying
The pale thin lips in the back room dying

I'm the walking dead, the fly by night
I'm the last of the fading light
In the unbarred door, the open encasement
I'm the stairs leading down to the basement

I'm the four post bed, the let down hair
I'm the cross that you forgot to wear
I'm the highest voltage, the shining slab
The crack of midnight in the doctors lab

I'm the night before, the morning after
Echoing of the barons laughter
Echoing of the barons laughter

Jonathan Harker, I'm Lucy's trance
Elegant counts hypnotic glance
I'm the wooden mallet, the sharpened stake
I'm the precautions you forgot to take

I'm the mummy's curse, the passing bell
I'm the fortune they wouldn't tell
I'm pyromania, I'm Transylvania
I'm out of breath, I'm worse than death

I'm the late night air, exhilarating
With you in the darkness, waiting
I'm with you in the darkness, waiting


34.The Triangle

Lyricist:Jack Grisham, Mike Roche, Ron Emory, Todd Barnes

We met two men from other sides
On a walk down by the river side
Trigger finger itching to see some action
He would tell me what I'd need to know

On a mission sent by the high command
Proceed with caution this man's dangerous
Double agent works for the other side
Do what you can then terminate his life

Reached for his lugger but I drew mine first
You're a better man than I were his last words
You're a better man than I were his last words
You're a better man than I were his last words
Was I really?

I've thought about it on my way home
Dingy room in a rundown hotel
Thought about who I really was
Where I am from and where I'm heading to

It never really bothered me this way
I guess I got the secret agent blues
All this killing is really got me down
I got the secret agent blues

I give in just can't stand it no more, I resign
Here's my badge and gun
But you can't quit like that with us
You're a traitor and must be disposed of

Reached for their weapons but I drew mine first
Others will come for you were their last words
Others will come for you were their last words
Others will come for you were their last words
I would be waiting

I'm hit up once or twice a week
Always different places and faces
Getting so tired I can't even sleep
Will they ever come for me again

So tired of all this running around
Getting edgy playing hide and seek
Can't take it got to get away
But there's no way out but death


35.Thoughts of Yesterday

Lyricist:Barnes Todd F, Emory Ronald Lewis, Grisham Jack Loyd, Roche
Michael Paul

I hear them walking down the corridor
Footsteps in the halls of time
Faintly I see their faces
On the back roads of my mind

Words in the darkness are always there
Raping me with their thoughtlessness
Dreams I can't clear from my head
I feel them calling to me

Naked night dance, shadows on my window
I lay alone with a memory
All my friends have died or gone away
I live my life for thoughts of yesterday

Away from the feelings I have in my head
If I could take back all the things I've said
Wish I could go back to

I watch them playing from the twilight of my years
Watching, waiting silent there
Children running as were my tears
I look back and
