Lyrics

The headless lover of three
An unspeakable affair

The lady on the hill creates a glorious departure from her everyday life
Constant swelling of the ankles
A pleasant cry for help
She began to unfold her story
A grieving widow mothered this headless wonder
A perfect crime, that soon lived on
A different life it had to develop
Gripped by every limb it could hold, the lifeless ideas it grew onto its own
A much needed surrender
Trees soon started to grow from what seemed like a lifeless neck
From a monster to a beauty in quick months
Its life seemed to be on its way to a rare freedom
It decided it should take advantage of this idea
(The average traveler hints at this every single day of their lives)
A mixture of plantings soon took course in its body
A spectacle none the less
Walking proud through life letting its branches guide the way
A path which seemed to be covered in sunshine
It must be human, for its qualities seem
To outdo even the grandest occupant of the town
This started to catch the attention of the un-branched
It had never experienced an affection of this kind
A wonderful and frightening new obstacle in its life
Years went by as it finally found true love
the love of others, three to be exact
Letting them into every secret
Feeding from every branch
Every part used for their lives
This went on with no negative scents ’til the 5th year came around
It noticed its walking seemed more staggered than normal
The breeze didn’t flow like it used to
The heart seemed to pound slower and slower
What caused this
It seen was noticed that these three had torn every branch, every single stem
Torn to its last life
How hadn’t it noticed a drastic change in the surroundings
It didn’t think anything could go this wrong

“Comfort…”

It thought life was constant
Happiness if constant happiness was all that was given out
(It left its entire existence up to these three lovers)
Hints and all, they did as they pleased
And not it’s starting to wilt away
They will see this lost perfection
It will come back around
will the newborn live to tell this story

Lyrics

And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you’ve been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don’t want to be my slave
But you’re staring at me
Like I need to be saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like its the coming of the lord
And I swear to you
That I would never feed you pain
But you’re staring at me
Like I’m driving the nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like its
The coming of the lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn’t pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor
In your Jesus Christ pose

Damnation game
Damnation game

Now I won my freedom
But I had to pay the price
I keep on searching
But I never seem to find what I need
It’s all just like a dream
The European I had to fight
I had no choice but it made me wiser
And now I won’t fall into the night
Now you must roll the dice
Roll the dice
And meet your own demise
The European always lies
Always lies

Nobody wins
In this damnation game
Nobody wins
In this damnation game

I draw the card
It’s the ace of spades
I always play for keeps
And I’ll never ever fade away
It’s the devil to pay
Patience is a virtue
But now it’s wearing thin
You play the game
But you will never ever win
Your living a sin
Now you must roll the dice
Roll the dice
And meet your own demise
The European always lies
Always lies

Nobody wins
In this damnation game
Nobody wins
In this damnation game
Nobody wins
In this damnation game
Nobody wins
In this damnation game

Lyrics

If there was a single day I could live
A single breath I could take
I’d trade all the others away

The blood’s on the wall
So you might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains
Commit to forgetting it
You’re better off empty and blank
Then left with a single pathetic trace of this

Smother another failure
Lay this to rest

Console yourself
You’re better alone
Destroy yourself
See who gives a fuck

Absorb yourself
You’re better alone
Destroy yourself

I’ll chain you to the truth
For the truth shall set you free
I’ll turn the screws of vengence
And bury you with honesty

I’ll make all your dreams come to life
Then slay them as quickly as they came

Smother another failure
Lay this to rest

Console yourself
You’re better alone
Destroy yourself
See who gives a fuck

Absorb yourself
You’re better alone
Destroy yourself

See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck
See who gives a fuck

Failure

If there was a day I could live
If there was a single breath I could take
I’d trade all the others away
I’d trade all the others away

Lyrics

My life’s on time
But again my sense is late
Feel a might unsteady
But still I have to play
Six to one’s the odds
And, we have the highest stakes
And, once again I gamble with my very life today

Highly polished metal
The oil makes it gleam
Fill the terror chamber
Your mind begins to scream
Your life is like a trigger
Never trouble till you’re squeezed
Now you crack a smile
As you give the gun a tease

Place the piston down
Now give the gun a spin
Soon as the spinning stops
Oh no, the game starts in
A hateful way of vengeance
A bit of playful sin
Load another bullet
Now the second round begins

A couple grains of powder
A couple grams of lead
A touch against the trigger
A touch inside the head
Take another drink, and
Raise the last bets
Think about my last words
They might be what I just said

A click comes from the hammer
That couldn’t drive a nail
Sense the numbing cold blue
Or the red of Hades’ grill
A fraction of a second
Do you lose, or maybe still
Pass it to the left
And collect your mighty kill

Add another bullet
The third round begins
Soon as the spinning stops
Oh no, the game starts in
Please, no I. O. U.’s
No markers for death
Does anybody play? Anybody
Somebody, anybody play

You, you, next victim, you next to die
You, come on, next victim, your turn to die

Lyrics

Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul

Lost illusions of mind control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night

I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I’ve found
I can never get enough

Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I can’t let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night
Blistering

Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
Falling down through the night
Sprawling everywhere

Searching left, searching right
Panic setting in
I can no longer fight
When will this end?

Accelerate, dislocate
Set to crash and burn
Haven’t got time to waste
Not planning to return

Aggravate, Agitate
When will I ever learn?
There’s no way out of here
Nowhere to turn

Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts of neat disorder

Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I cant’ let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night
Blistering

Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I can’t let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Can’t stop the wheels from turning

Traveling through both space and time
You get yours and I got mine
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
I can’t let up, I can’t let go
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night
Blistering

Lyrics

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion,
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion.
I was soaring ever higher,
But I flew too high.

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man.
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man.
I hear the voices when I’m dreaming;
I can hear them say:

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.

Masquerading as a man with a reason,
My charade is the event of the season.
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don’t know.

On a stormy sea of moving emotion,
Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean.
I set a course for winds of fortune,
But I hear the voices say:

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.

Carry on-
You will always remember…
Carry on-
Nothing equals the splendor…
Now your life’s no longer empty;
Surely heaven waits for you.

Carry on, my wayward son.
There’ll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.
No more…

Lyrics

What do you mean I don’t believe in God?
I talk to him everyday
What do you mean, I don’t support your system?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean, I can’t get to work on time?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, I don’t pay my bills?
Why do you think I’m broke? Huh?

If there’s a new way
I’ll be the first in line
But it better work this time

What do you mean, I hurt your feelings?
I didn’t know you had any feelings
What do you mean, I ain’t kind?
Just not your kind
What do you mean, I couldn’t be the President
Of the United States of America?
Tell me something, it’s still We the people, right?

If there’s a new way
I’ll be the first in line
But it better work this time

Can you put a price on peace?

Peace
Peace sells…
Peace
Peace sells…
Peace sells… but who’s buying?
Peace sells… but who’s buying?
Peace sells… but who’s buying?
Peace sells… but who’s buying?
No, peace sells… Ah

Lyrics

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified

Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified

Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see

Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me

I am paralyzed
So afraid to die

Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show

Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don’t know why I’m constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I’m in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress

A stifling surge
Shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly I’m insane
Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don’t know why I’m constantly reeling

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Lyrics

Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He’s half man and half machine

Rides the Metal Monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Planets devastated
Mankind’s on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas

Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts fo steel
Evils going under deadly wheels

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Faster than a lazer bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns

Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They’ve been brought back from the grave

With mankind ressurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly wheels Painkiller
