and bite your tongue
Fake lies I can't hear ya
Wrapped in lies, bathed in truth
If I could see I'd see nothing

I don't feel the same today
This soothing makes me very afraid

Paint your eyes and bite your tongue
Fake lies I can't hear ya
Wrapped in lies, bathed in truth
If I could see I'd see nothing


2. You Don't Understand

I'll take a bullet for you in the night
Is what we're fighting for wrong or right?
I lie awake in my tomb, so confused
Who wins the battle when we all lose?

You don't understand
Wash this blood away from my hands
All I gotta do is give my life for you

I try and hide, but I'm in plain sight
Will I live to see the morning light?
Will I live to see my dreams come true?
Will I ever make it home to you?

You don't understand
Wash this blood away from my hands
All I gotta do is give my life for you

The sickly stench of death is all around
Brothers,sisters,mothers,children
Six feet underground
Is it justified?
Why do I feel so hollow inside?

I don't understand what it takes to be a man
What I gotta do is give my life for you?
You don't understand
Wash away the blood from my hands
All I gotta do is give my life for you


3. Back In The Saddle

I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones she crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink that's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink that make a grown man cry

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back

Come easy, go easy, all right till the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks I scream for more
Fools' gold out of their mines the girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Already


4. (Love Is) A Bitchslap

Rollin' down the avenue
I got my fist in the air
Checkin' out of the rat race
& I really don't care

I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
I'm just havin' a good time
Just havin' a good time

Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise

Livin' in the stratosphere
Ain't always cloud nine
I don't even know if
It's what I was hopin' to find

I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
Gettin' out of my mind,
I'm gettin' out of my mind

Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise

Tryin' hard to push me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all behind

Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise

Tryin' hard to fuck me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all
I'll leave it all behind


5. Stuck Inside

I feel you taking on
Everything that I said
That I Want
And then you said it's over

Cause I'm stuck inside
Cause I'm stuck inside

I'll take all you got
And everything you said
That I can't
And then you said it's over

Cause I'm stuck inside
Cause I'm stuck inside

I won't let you break away
I know your feelings change
From everything you said today
Peeling the layers of emotions away

I'm breaking down again,you'll see
I need just one more special thing
Now I,1 2 3 4 5 6,I count away my time
All my life is empty; Now I said it's over

Cause I'm stuck inside
Cause I'm stuck inside


6. American Metalhead

Brothers in one, ageless at heart
Shoulder to shoulder, we'll never die
Legions tonight, hellborn and dark
Souls are alive as time marches on

Glorious might, sons of the Gods
Tyrants of loud, our hearts?- Red, black
We breathe in terror and breathe out the light
Live to survive, we are one tonight

We live we die we kill we rise
We live we die we kill we rise
American Metalhead
American Metalhead

Burn through the night, wolves are a pack
Forgotten sons and daughters alike
Lords of forever left stealin' from God
One live to live, we are taking it now
Evil bows tonight

We live we die we kill we rise
We live we die we kill we rise
American Metalhead
American Metalhead

One soul, one mind, one heart, one life
One soul, one mind, one heart, one life
Rise up!

American Metalhead

7. Negative Light

Nothin' lasts forever
Nobody rides for free
For twenty years I took a stand
You're not takin' no chance on me

Some slow to anger
Some quick to hate
When you've given all you got
And you just can't satiate

We all live in negative
Can we ride to the light?

Deal in desperation
Peddling in spite
If it's a war you're lookin' for
You won't look far tonight

I'm sick of restitution
Paying back in blood
All I ever wanted was a little action
And maybe just a little love

We all live in negative
Can we ride to the light?

Why you gotta make it
harder than it has to be?
We could come together
And show the world we're free.
Break free!

Negative light comes to me out of the shadows
Negative light gives me what I need
Negative light gives me what I need
Negative light the part of me I don't want you to see
Negative light gives me what I need


8. Live And Die

Where do we fit in a
world that sells us lies?
It's so hard to be
your perfect kind

Truth is vital
yes that's what's inside
Cover yourself
You yourself deny

Like stars sky high we live and die
Free your body, your soul, your mind

Where do I fit in a
world that sells me lies?
It's so hard to be
your perfect kind

Like stars sky high we live and die
Free your body, your soul, your mind
Like stars sky high we live and die
Free your body, your soul, your mind

Blessed with light and showered in dark
While we're here we'll make our mark
Blessed with light and scarred by pain
Roll the dice begin again

Don't be afraid to win or lose
The money stays,
but the pain stays with you

We are showered in dark
And scarred by the pain
Begin again

Like stars sky high we live and die
Free your body, your soul, your mind
Like stars sky high we live and die
Free your body, your soul, your mind

Who cares about death?
Right now I'm alive
My two feet upon this earth
Under her skies


9. By Your Side

So long my dear departed
where did you go
I can't believe you're gone and
the lights go out so slow
I'm missing you each morning
Days gone by
Again I feel the longing
to look you in the eye

You know I'll never let you go
You know I'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never let you go
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch my tear
I will be right there by your side

I feel you when you're watching from afar
To young to leave me standing
I wonder where you are
The precious time we spent
my fondest memories
I'll hold on to the promise
That You made to me

You know I'll never let you go
You know I'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch with tears
You are right there by my side

I stare into his eyes
and then I see your face
A dying love inside
a love you can't replace
You're looking down with pride
And let me show what I can tell

So long my dear departed
where did you go
I can't believe you're gone and
My lights go out so slow

You know I'll never let you go
You know I'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never let you go
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch with tears
You are right there by my side


10. Our Love Is A Lie

Five O'clock in the mornin'
Floatin' over my bed
Temptin' fate is a pleasure
Goin' straight to my head

Not one for collegiate
Never one for respect
I take what I am given
I never needed what I never get

What if I told you a secret?
You promise you'll never tell?
I wanna get into you now, baby
Get me outta this hell

Semi-good lookin' seducer
Slither in the street
I gotta suck out the venom
Desire's killin' me

So go ahead and shoot me
'Cause I ain't goin' down
Aim and fire your best shot
I ain't hittin' the ground

What if I told you a secret?
They ask and we'll just deny
I wanna hit into you now, baby
Tonight our love is a lie

I can't control myself
My passion reigns
A victim of my lust
Delicious pain


11. Take You Down With Me

Why is it no suprise
I'm succumbing to fear?
Unforeseen alibis
In my head I can hear

Devil on my shoulder
Taking control over
Action, reaction
I just can't set it free

Take you down
If I'm gonna die
Take You Down With Me
Take you down
And I know it ain't right
Take You Down With Me

I try to understand
War, suffering and pain
Turning mankind against man
A generation is slain

Angel on my shoulder
Fighting control over
My temptation to
Destroy all that I see

Take you down
If I'm gonna die
Take You Down With Me
And I know it ain't right
Take You Down With Me

Take you down
If I'm crucified
Take You Down With Me
From the mountain on high
Take You Down With Me

Take you down
If I'm gonna die
Take You Down With Me
And I know it ain't right
Take You Down With Me
From the starry sky
Take you down with me


12. Stabbing Daggers

Circumstances beyond my control
Take advantage of my very soul
Time forgotten by all but one
Misbegotten son of broken love

Take what you're givin' for the last time
Nothin' I'll never know
Stabbin' Daggers through my back
Through the heart they go

Turnin' circles, spiral down in spite
Contesting your very life
Need some answers down from on high
To the questions- Father, who am I?

Take what you're givin' for the last time
Nothin' I'll never know
Stabbin' Daggers through my back
Through the heart they go

Circumstances beyond my control
Take advantage of my very soul
Time forgotten by all but one
Misbegotten son of broken love

Take what you're givin' for the last time
Nothin' I'll never know
Stabbin' Daggers through my back
Through the heart they go

I think you're talkin' to the wrong guy
I'm someone you'll never know
Stabbin' Daggers through my back
Through the heart they go


13. You Bring Me Down

I wait for you to sacrifice
Hopin' again, again
You'll raise me up again to life
You will save me now

I am less than I have been
This is the falling
Become nothing, man again
You just break me down

There is nothing more
In this life to take away
Until my dying day
You bring me down

I opened up another door
Looking for you there
No one can light the darkened room
Who will save me now?

After everything that you
Tried to put me through
All you ever do is
Bring me down

You bring me down


14. Falling Into You

Here I am
Slippin' back in time
Starin' in your eyes
Like it's all the same

Look at you
You haven't changed at all
The devil's deja vu
Has lead me down
and back into this deadly fall

You take me
Break me
Build me up and then forsake me
Our love is my world
Then you cut me down with one word
Strung out, it's true
Try to run but I'm falling into you
You're the devil's deja vu

Bring it on
Bend my will again
Undress the story's end
And make this heart believe

There's a light
In the darkness of my mind
Hangin' by a thread
Like a spider
Spinnin' out a brand new web

You take me
Break me
Build me up and then forsake me
Our love is my world
Then you cut me down with one word
Strung out, it's true
Try to run but I'm falling into you

Think about me
My love is your salvation
Taste my mind
Give in to all temptation
Embrace complete destruction
Wait wait wait wait wait wait

You take me
Break me
Build me up and then forsake me
Our love is my world
Then you cut me down with one word
Strung out, it's true
Try to run but I'm falling into you
You're the devil's deja vu
