VERSE 1 Reaper´s hands can be harsh they can be so cruel Taking things held dear before it´s due What to do, what to say, it can be so hard Just know that their passing touched this heart VERSE 2 The timing of his call we can´t decide Come take a walk with me through the afterlife You never know what it is that you might find A sea of dreams or flames in those eyes CHORUS This is One for the fallen Hold on Never let them go This is One for the fallen Stay strong Carry on down the road VERSE 3 Some times if he could let them go Reset the sands of time before the curtain falls In us all they will live on Wake in mourning but sorrows will move on CHORUS BREAK AND SOLO SECTION CHORUS X2 Carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on down the road

VERSE 1 Look to the skies heaven is falling down Stupidity reigns and it´s flooding my soul The streets are on fire blackened and scarred No one seems to notice No one seems to care No justice under foot on the streets of despair No one seems to notice No one seems to care CHORUS The tragedy of history is victory has taken it´s toll Our conscience speaks morality but apathy has taken a hold Insipid personalities devoid of all humanity And I wonder What the hell is going on We´re losing, we´re losing, we´re losing control VERSE 2 Peace has been bought a billion bullet holes I pray for the day the world bleeds no heroes Pull the trigger move on just do what you´re told No one´s gonna notice No one´s gonna care Or get buried alive by the weight of it all No one´s gonna notice No one´s goon care CHORUS BRIDGE The tragedy of history is victory has taken it´s toll ..taken it´s toll In moments of clarity insanity´s behind it all ..insanity´s behind it all What the hell is going on What the hell is going on CHORUS

VERSE 1 I´ve got a disease Called addiction It´s my friend My enemy It brings me down Lifts me up when I am weak It speaks os clear But blinds the truth CHORUS Rehab relapse rewind and I blow my mind Rehab relapse rewind and I blow my mind VERSE 2 I´ve got a disease Called addiction It lies to me And in turn to you Its made a home A secret place I cannot reach It turns the knife Inside of me CHORUS VERSE 3 I´ve got a disease Called addiction It feels like heaven Then it feels like hell For all the angels That are watching over me There are demons I cannot shake CHORUS

Dirty Mind 04:26
VERSE 1 Through falling for angels she devil will do She asked for the world so what could I do But tear it apart one piece at a time All for one piece of her dirty mind CHORUS Her dirty mind will always defeat The innocence inside of me always buried sleeps Her dirty mind wakes the devil in me Tempted by each carnal sin forced onto me Her dirty mind VERSE 2 With silvered tongue She pulls me in She drags me down, down, down it´s poisoning These blackened hearts Were written in the cards Dealt wicked hands right from the start PRE CHORUS She devil´s game I can never win But I don´t care Just let me in To CHORUS VERSE 3 Inked wings and stars Paint coloured scars A living canvas through her soul She draws the line Just one more time She devil twists and takes control PRE CHORUS To CHORUS BRIDGE Is calling And I… She devil is crawling And I´ve fallen CHORUS
5.
Fresh Lies 04:02
VERSE 1 You stand on your platform preaching your shit A political marionette spitting deceit You think no one can see you tattered and flawed A pathetic inflated ego blind to the storm I´ll be there when the reign burns on the ground And the clarions call thunders out PRE CHORUS No ones buying the lies that you sell Stop denying what we know to well Waters rising but you can´t cleanse your soul If it´s wicked, vile from the start CHORUS No one buys Lies, lies Your fresh lies Lies, lies Don´t deny Lies, lies More fresh lies Lies, lies VERSE 2 Time to.. Dying in the streets the innocent bleed While the architect laughs bent down to feed No one can see you embezzle and choose Through a window washed red by the clean you abuse I´ll be there when they rise dragging you down To spit on your grave with a smile PRECHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE At the end of your days When you see what you hope Calcic steps you´ve built Will not carry you home To elysian fields For the power you crave Is wicked, vile, dark PRE CHORUS CHORUS
6.
Right Down 03:41
VERSE 1 I´m so sick and tired of you Everything you fucking do When you´re up I am down Hate´s cycle goes round and round CHORUS Why can´t you see what your doing to me When all of your sins they burn right down I´m screaming inside but you´re blind to see That all of your sins they burn right down Right down VERSE 2 I take pity on you the fool Cause I´m so much damn better than you High and mighty sit on your throne Would you have gotten there on your own CHORUS x3
7.
VERSE 1 If something comes from heaven You gotta hold it in close And take care of it When you realise you just can´t take any more You gotta a wrap it right up And take yourself one more draw PRE CHORUS You were everything to me And I just couldn´t break free Smouldering with light I breathe you into my life And I will never let you go Never let you go I just need you to see That I will never let you go Never let you go You´re just so bad for me VERSE 2 I crave you near You´re in my head And when we´re done you know I´m closer to death You´re the product of fire I´ll play with you You burn me on touch to spread your cancer right through PRE CHORUS CHORUS I need you I want you I cannot live without you I cannot wait to drag you in My nicotine kiss CHORUS BRIDGE Let you go Let you go I just need you to see that I will Let you go Let you go Cause you´re so bad for me and I will Let you go Let you go I just need you to see that I will Let you go Let you go Cause you´re so bad for So bad for me So bad CHORUS OUTRO My nicotine kiss You set my heart on fire My nicotine kiss My nicotine kiss

Outlaw 08:36
VERSE 1 Hit the dirt they thought their shot was my last sound And now they´re dead ´cause you´ll never stop coming And now they´re dead ´cause you´ll never stop coming They should have known that I can never be kept down And now they´re dead ´cause you´ll never stop coming Never stop PRE CHORUS The ransom for my crimes Those dearest to me Now I have no brothers The colours they are fading in the wind This road is dusty The streets they hold no names Frontier justice I am labelled I am shamed CHORUS Outlaw I will stand and I will fight Outlaw I am taking back what is mine VERSE 2 Lying in wait One day revenge it will be mine You pull the trigger and they all start running You pull the trigger and they all start running Pray to God Forgiveness Here you will not find You pull the trigger and they all start running You pull the trigger and they all run PRE CHORUS No protection from the chapters They label me as dead In the eyes if the family I see greed for the money on my head He who shuns me Betrayals I have none Has the ear of the mother Has sent me on the run CHORUS BRIDGE Dear God I am down on my knees Please Forgive me There are those who need me So from a distance I watch the woman that I love Drying tears from her eyes If only I could reach her Remove the veil hiding truths Behind their lies And so she prays for me By a lonely stone She holds a part of me A reason to return So now I must fight for the right to survive I should thank the lord for living But retribution plagues my mind Tonight I fight for justice Their crimes I have judged Tonight I fight for freedom And freedom is my gun Yeah CHORUS 2 Outlaw Outlaw Outlaw And now they´re dead ´cause you´ll never stop coming Outlaw you pull the trigger and they all start running Outlaw And now they´re dead ´cause you´ll never stop coming Outlaw You pull the trigger You pull the trigger PRE CHORUS Now I fight for the right to survive I should thank the lord for living but retribution plagues my mind I ride to down on death with war as my gun Their blood is justice paid Their blood is freedom won CHORUS OUTRO Take it back Take it back Take it back

Bring It 04:26
VERSE 1 You´ve been killing for years In the name of what You´ve been killing for years Just to get off You´ve been killing for years In the name of wealth You´ve been killing for years Just for yourself VERSE 2 Well myself is sick and tired Of all of your hate I´ve got a heavy metal fist Show me your face Myself is sick and tired Of all of your shit I´ve got one thing to say Bring it CHORUS Self righteous So full of yourself Never giving what you take from everyone else Self righteous Better make no mistake There is no escape Step up to the plate and Bring it VERSE 3 You´ve been living a lie In a corrupted mind You´ve been living a lie Am I a fool or blind You´ve been living a lie Through the poisoned word You´ve been living a lie This will be heard VERSE 4 Cause it only takes the head For the body to die And it only takes a few For the masses to rise And if the master psychotic Gives a call to arms There is just one thing to do Bring it CHORUS BRIDGE Every day military men give their lives in the service of your country What have you given them? And what have they given you? A bag of skulls and a pile of money A paradise lost in a river of blood Where the wrathful and sullen drown for eternity Why should I care? Why should I lift a finger? So many questions Isn´t there an easy way out of this that will last So many questions Why not bury them all under a pile of ash? It could end right now VARIATION Well myself is sick and tired of all of your hate All of your hate All of your hate I´ve got a heavy metal fist show me your face Show me your face Show me your face CHORUS x2

VERSE 1 Time Can weather down good souls Burdening with hopes Unwon Life Can throw out fates cold hands Derail the best laid plans Undone PRE CHORUS Every day I pray that we will wake Shadows washed away by love This day can come If we act as one Find a way and rise above CHORUS Tear down the walls Step outside and be free Free from it all Tear down the walls Take life back Take control Be part of this world VERSE 2 Why Put faith in our wealth Forgetting in our strengths Inside Guilt Should live in here no more Our conscience can´t afford Our sins PRE CHORUS Misery Won´t survive if we believe That justice hears the words of our songs Dare to dream Indifference and hate Are failing and it can´t belong CHORUS BRIDGE Tear it down x3 Tear down the walls x3 CHORUS X2

VERSE 1 For our fire from the earth a modest maid Gifted by the gods For her cries it is not her that should be blamed Just like us she thought no harm PRE CHORUS They used her mind Deceiving to control Implanting punishment Adjudged for all Blessed speech Only words that they impart Trapped inside hope tears apart CHORUS Pandora Did they think about your heart When they made you They betrayed you And all you are VERSE 2 Curiosity supplanted over thought Leading to demise Bestowing gifts within Kindly on the eyes Lay waiting in disguise PRE CHORUS One fateful night No endeavour could resist With just one look All the evil did escape Stricken with sadness The blood set loose In a world she could not choose CHORUS BRIDGE War Blood for wealth Starve By famines touch Plague In silent mischief Grief For what is sewn Condemned In a prison of their making for all time She´s begging for her life CHORUS (Backing) You know they betrayed you I know You know You know That they betrayed you And all you are OUTRO When a person lies It kills something in the world I love you What have they done to you Pandora Pandora I love you They killed a little piece of my heart Under every olive branch lies the shade of deceit I love you And it hurts And it bleeds And it leaves me on my knees I know All things must end To begin again
