01 KILL THE KING(3:43)

Broken down, feeling naked
Leaving me unfulfilled
Promising compromise
Championing mediocrity

Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to

Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king, God save the king

Kill the king, the king is dead
I am the king, long live the king
Kill the king, the king is dead
I am the king, long live the king

I reveal a deceiver
In the highest seat in the land
His idle hands the devil's workshop
Generate more smoke than heat

Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to

Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king, God save the king

Kill the king, the king is dead
I am the king, long live the king
Kill the king, the king is dead
I am the king, long live the king

A new precedent in pain, a new precedent in pain
Mankind is blown to dust, mankind is blown to dust
An explosion of the brain, an explosion of the brain
Spontaneously combust, spontaneously combust

Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king
Kill the king, (I) the king is dead, (I am) long live the king
I am the king
Kill the king, (I) the king is dead, (I am) long live the king
I am the king
Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the king
I am the king

02 DREAD AND THE FUGITIVE MIND (4:23)

Let me introduce myself
I'm a social disease
I've come for your wealth
And leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry
I got here on my own
I won't ask for mercy
I choose to walk alone

Ooh, what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
If you shake my hand, better count your fingers

What if I do get caught?
What if there is no judgement?
If I'm right, I lose nothing
If you're right, I lose it all
I ought to get caught
Because I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty, haunted by my fears
And the only consequences
Are dread and the fugitive mind

You built walls to protect you
So no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there
That vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find
What you really left behind
You don't know when the end is
But it's coming fast

Ooh, what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
If you shake my hand, better count your fingers

What if I do get caught?
What if there is no judgement?
If I'm right, I lose nothing
If you're right, I lose it all
I ought to get caught
Because I'm doing something wicked
I'm guilty, haunted by my fears
And the only consequences
Are dread and the fugitive mind

03 CRUSH 'EM (4:59)

Enter the arena and hit the lights
Step up now, you're in for a ride
This is war, ain't no fun and games
We get it up, you go down in flames

Party time, going down
You better not mess us around
The stakes are rich, take a hit or stay
The price is high, someone's gonna pay

Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice, don't think twice
And we crush, (crush) crush 'em, (crush 'em)

Looking for trouble, now you've found it
You're a drum and we're gonna pound it

Last one standing wins the fight
Hear us scream and shout all night
Down on the floor and eat the grit
This is gonna hurt a little bit

Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice, don't think twice
And we crush, (crush) crush 'em, (crush 'em)
Now we lay you down to rest
You'll never be more than second best
Step inside, you're in for a ride
And we crush, (crush) crush 'em, (crush 'em)

(Crush) (Crush) (Crush) (Crush)

Don't need reason, don't want names
Just a John Doe to put to shame
Step aside let me explain
The name of the game is pain
Now we've found you, we're gonna pound you
We're gonna beat you, gonna defeat you
We're gonna bust you, we're gonna crush you
We're gonna crush 'em!

Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice, don't think twice
And we crush, (crush) crush 'em, (crush 'em)
Now we lay you down to rest
Never never be more than second best
Step inside, you're in for a ride
And we crush, (crush) crush 'em, (crush 'em)

(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)
(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)
(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)
(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)
(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)
(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)
(Crush, crush, crush, crush 'em)

04 USE THE MAN (4:35)

I saw her today
I saw her face, it was a face I loved
And I knew, I had to run away
And get on my knees and opray
That they'd go away, but still they pretended
Needles and pins...

I heard somebody fixed today
There was no last goodbyes to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the things he won't get done
The things he won't get done

I've seen the man use the needle
(Seen the needle use the man)
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
(To the gutter on their hands)
They fight a war but it's fatal
(It's so hard to understand)
I've seen the man use the needle
(Seen the needle use the man)

Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry
(Cry, cry...)
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders why
Why the monkey only lies
(Lies, lies...)
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose
He hung his head, inside that noose, oh

I've seen the man use the needle
(Seen the needle use the man)
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
(To the coffin on their hands)
They fight a war but it's fatal
(It's so hard to understand)
I've seen the man use the needle
(Seen the needle in his hand)
Cryptic writing on the wall
(The beginning of the end)
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hands

I've seen the man use the needle
(Seen the needle use the man)
I've seen them crawl from the cradle
(To the coffin on their hands)
They fight a war but it's fatal
(It's so hard to understand)
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hands

In my hands, in my hands
In my hands

05 ALMOST HONEST (4:02)

I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
I just can't believe it
There's nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost

Living alone, can't stand this place
It's four in the morning and I still see your face

I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I'd bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you've gone away
You were almost honest, almost

Living alone, falling from grace
I want to atone but there's just empty space
I can't face tomorow, now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks

I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know

Living alone, falling from grace
I want to atone but there's just empty space
I can't face tomorow, now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks

Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest
Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest

06 TRUST (5:11)

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said
Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again
She repeats let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We'll never end till we're dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust, but I wish I could trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
God help me please, on my knees (on my knees)
Betrayed by lust (by lust)
We lied to each other so much (so much)
Now there's nothing we trust

How could this be happening to me
I'm lying when I say, "Trust me"
I can't believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering?

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
(And we tr)-God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much (so much)
Now there's nothing we trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
(We lied to each other so much)
My body (help me please) aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Absolutely nothing we trust

07 A TOUT LE MONDE (4:27)

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on, is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free

So as you read, know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all

A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free
A tout le monde, a tous mes amis
Je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free

08 TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES (3:26)

I'm doing you a favor
As I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry
But I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up
And you feel a sudden chill
How do you do, my name is Trouble
I'm coming in for the kill...in for the kill
Ooh, and you know I will

Set the ball a-rollin, I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back, no

No horse ever ran as fast
As the money that you bet
I'm blowing on my cards
And play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt
Shot through with corroded thread
As for me I hocked my brains
Packed my bags and headed west
I hocked my brains, and headed west

Oh, et the ball a-rollin, I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back

Set the ball a-rollin, I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back
Set the ball a-rollin, I'll be clicking off the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back

09 SWEATING BULLETS (5:03)

Hello me... meet the real me
And my misfits way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession
Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
You speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story... tell it to Reader's Digest!

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
And my air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit
And my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets

Hello me... it's me again
You can subdue, but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Thinking down to your level
You just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know his limitations

Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been
I'm in trouble for the things I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the axe
And my palms are getting wet
Sweating bullets

Well, me... it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me, and my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands, and I don't know where I've been

Once you committed me (commited me), now you've acquitted me (acquitted me)
Claiming validity (vlidity) for your stupidity (stupidity)
I'm chomping at the bit, I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets

10 SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION (4:02)

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a-roll
A-roll, a-roll...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony Of Destruction

Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony...
Swaying to the Symphony Of Destruction

The earth starts to rumble
The world powers fall
A warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Stands tall, stands tall...

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony...
Swaying to the Symphony Of Destruction

11 HANGAR 18 (5:14)

Welcome to our fortress tall
I'll take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended state of cryogenics
Selective amnesia's the story
Believed foretold but who'd suspect
The military intelligence
Two words combined that can't make sense

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

12 HOLY WARS... THE PUNISHMENT DUE (6:36)

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the
Holier-than-thou-could-be messenger of God

...The Punishment Due

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die, they die

They killed my wife, and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake!
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't thinkin' it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream
Of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings, mercy killings
Mercy killings, killings, killings, killings

Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away

13 IN MY DARKEST HOUR (6:16)

In my hour of need
Heh, no, you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand

Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of

You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better
When I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand
Knowing you I'm probably wrong

But oh how I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes
Tell me who you think you are

I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God, send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you
Alone so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain
Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away

14 PEACE SELLS (4:04)

What do you mean, I don't believe in God
I talk to him every day.
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
I'm just not your kind
What do you mean, I couldn't be 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?

Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Peace sells, but who's buying?

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, no no no no, peace sells...
Peace sells...
