The Long Haul
01:27
|
|
||
oh, you're appetite
am i another thing for you to bite?
can you stand the long haul?
oh, you're simple needs
just an illusion of democracy
can you stand the long haul?
beaten down by the world you live in
dark dreams of a dispassionate killer
stand in the water trying to get clean
it's just more noise from the burning machine
oh, you're all appetite
the world's another thing for you to bite
can you stand the long haul?

Island of the Damned
01:58
|
|
||
island of the damned!
- they're gonna kill you
island of the damned!
- you're just another prey
island of the damned!
- you'll never get away
island of the damned!
- this is a child's world!
trying to get away from the hustle and the bustle for
a weekend vacation to a paradise island
everything so idyllic and beautiful
you'd never know there was something amiss!
right away you see something's not quite right
no adults anywhere in sight!
here comes an old man hobbling down dirt road
little girl runs out and smashes in his fucking head!
CHORUS
who can kill a child even if they're gonna kill you?
can they be responsible for something this dire?
try to justify but killing kids is way too fucked up
even when they're gonna bathe in your blood!
daughter takes her daddy to the slaughter! slaughter!
run!
hide!
bleed!
die!

Da Nu
02:08
|
|
||
left behind in a blinding snowstorm
crossing deserts of pure white windblown
destination like a compass at full mast
following the magnet of a coronary bypass
mixed signals keep blind in the flurry
you want everything to come in a hurry
dark walls, castles and snow fall
all the world is coming, sitting tight for the drumroll
da da da nu nu nu
what the hell you want me to do?
da da da nu nu nu
back and forth it comes from you
da da da nu nu nu
can't you give me something new?
da da da nu nu nu
what the hell am i supposed to do?
left/right, up/down and peeling
back teeth too much revealing
fight hard, cold winds are blowing
consciousness is bad enough without the pain of knowing
all we want is to be endured
further complications for the uninsured
separate protection for the terminus of elements
we're back to california and i'm eaten by those fucking ants!
can you tell me what will be?
the future is no solid certainty
you can't tell me what to do
my decisions are mine just as much as you
da da da nu nu nu
what the hell you want me to do?
da da da nu nu nu
back and forth it comes from you
da da da nu nu nu
can't you give me something new?
da da da nu nu nu
what the hell am i supposed to do?.
da nu
what the fuck's the world comin' to?

Ghoul School
02:19
|
|
||
woke up that morning, it was just a day
with my alarm just a-ringin' away
who would've thought i'd wake up from a dream
and step into a nightmare the world had never seen
it was a ghoul school
i'd never seen these zombies before
now all my teachers are laid out on the floor
i got to school about a half-past eight
wouldn't you know it i was running late
i smelt a stench seeping down the halls
and saw a slime covering all of the walls
it was a ghoul school
i couldn't believe my eyes!
what the hell brought these zombies to life?
now we're all food for the crawling undead
they'll suck our blood and eat the brains out our heads
they've got an appetite like you've never seen
what can we do to stop these zombie machines?
i saw my best friend becoming a snack
he had no chance when the zombies attacked
as i ran screaming i heard him cry in pain
and then i swear i heard them calling my name
as i left ghoul school
i'll never go to classes again
nobody will believe what i've seen
i'll run until i can't even feel
cause i hear the zombies right on my heels!

Imitation Human
03:23
|
|
||
these leather straps are tight, my arms they bite, they don't let the blood flow
what are these tubes in me, they're draining me, they steal my substance
the doctors watching me, can't let them see the pain i'm feeling
is this the end of me, a memory for those i've left behind
the lights get brighter now, i'm fading now, my consciousness is gone
they cut my organs out, i'm just a shell, my heart stops beating
replacing all of me, i start to see through eyes of plexiglass
what have they done to me, erasing me, i can't believe it
CHORUS
the power coursing through me
am i a person anymore?
absence of feelings
an imitation human
programmed with purpose now, i'm not a frail poor pitiful human!
i'm the future now, don't cross my path or i'll send you sprawling
no ties to bind me to anyone, i'm not of your race
i'm unique to the earth, no one alive can ever stop me
i kill as others breathe, i never need no rest or feelings
my only appetite is to crush the skulls of those that i see
made me a killing machine, i'm crumbling the walls of history
i'll do what they want me to but when i'm done i'll see them dying too
my makers can't control me
i'm no one's pawn anymore
they all know what i am
an imitation human

Mortality
02:01
|
|
||
you can't look me in the eye
i'm your only company on the day you die
beast to many and a saint to some
i'll say when you are said and done
waiting behind the bedroom door
waiting until you'll breathe no more
waiting under your safe warm bed
no escape until you end up dead
maybe you'll roll down a hill
maybe you'll take too many pills
maybe that car's not as far as it looks
it's gonna take from you, and i'll get what it took
are you afraid of me?
MORTALITY
are you afraid of me?
MORTALITY
are you afraid of me?
MORTALITY
are we born just to count down the seconds of life?
do you live just to wait for the moment you die?
you can't look me in the eye
i'm your only company on the day you die
beast to many and a saint to some
i'll say when you are said and done

Elephant Alibi
02:46
|
|
||
i was a broken cowboy, riding on the dusty trail
one day i saw a light that shone across the midnight sky
my horse pulled short and nearly threw me off into the night
what could it be? i asked myself as it fell from the sky
elephant alibi
it fell a mile or two from where my horse had thrown me off
i ran like a demon to see for myself what heaven had left for me
before i could arrive an explosion shook the earth around me
the ground was overhead and everything had blown to hell
i saw planets spinning
i saw nations crumbling
i saw people dying
i saw it all, though i was not there

Red Planet
02:25
|
|
||
crashing on the fiery surface
communications blown to hell
keep our weapons at the ready
we might not be alone in this hell
creeping underground the natives
slowly moving toward us now
human slaves for dire purpose
nothing left here for us now
CHORUS
welcome to the red planet
your death is ours to give
if you can prove you're worthy
we'll suffer you to live
trapped in red stone prison fortress
servants of the martian horde
killing us like eating breakfast
no key to this sealed door
earth is just a fantasy now
lost beyond the reach of space
dying here will be our final act
our only saving grace
CHORUS
welcome to the red planet
your death is ours to give
if you can prove you're worthy
we'll suffer you to live
red dirt blowing endlessly
our screams echo soundlessly...

Black Ice
02:38
|
|
||
black ice is what we never see
black ice is all you are to me
i've never seen the way the sunlight shines in your hair
there may never be a day, when both our lives aren't wasted
the wine left untasted turns to poison overnight
the tree of life is falling, and blinding me with sight
black ice is what we never see
black ice is all you are to me
the turns come faster now, no bridges left ahead
you stand away still beckoning, while left me here for dead
a canyon to the right of me, the mountain to my side
no traction left to save me now, no tunnels left to hide

Vampire Girl
01:23
|
|
||
born in Transylvania, a mistress of the dark
feeding on the life's blood of my beating heart
dark of hair and pale of skin, she was born to the night
i don't need no crucifix to know our love is right
i've searched the world for my vampire girl
her and i will rule the world
i've searched the world for my vampire girl
never more will i be mortal!
love is born in different forms, now who are you to choose?
i'll drink the blood of my young love and never again play the fool
living for eternity is our immortal destiny
a love to span the centuries, so step aside and envy me
i've searched the world for my vampire girl
her and i will now rule the world
i've searched the world for my vampire girl
never more will we be mortal!

Unfinished Business
02:02
|
|
||
time is just a fallacy, it's nothing we can't overcome
life is just a simulation, there's no war to be won
existence is all a ticket to eternity
but keep it to yourself, and watch out what you say to me

Monster
02:38
|
|
||
midnight, i am walking the earth
abomination, given life as a curse
cruising the back streets hidden away from the eyes of man
my existence they could never stand, no!
a blind man can see what i cannot reveal
give me shelter, give me food so i shall not steal
could a pair of eyes ever accept my frightening countenance?
or would they simply stare in horror and bring about my death?
creation, playing at god and robbing death's designs
patchwork corpses brought to life by the light from heaven's skies
hurl me into hell, i'll bring you down and crush your dreams
never find an equal, no one on earth can understand what "i" mean!
monster, i will walk the earth
driven by my loneliness and despair
nevermore to seek compassion, die in flames with ice surrounding
my death will purify your world

drunk with little power over stultified minds
defiling creativity, the only destiny you'll find
dance of the fascist pigs!
what's acceptable to minds already filled with lust?
you're the ones who keep them down, the ones they trust!
dance of the fascist pigs!
are we more than what we see or is all art futility?
are we more than what we see or is all art futility?
are we more than what we see or is all art futility?
are we more than what we see or is all art futility?
drag us to your pitiful pressed wood courtroom
denounce us as the fiends we are and spell your own doom
dance of the fascist pigs!
blind to opened eyes you sit in judgment on us all
the higher that you try to climb the farther you'll fall!
dance of the fascist pigs!

The Tunnel
04:07
|
|
||
here i sit waiting for night to arrive
passed on my last meal, no need to survive
so thankful for the years i've got under my belt
so many lives i taken, now it's time for something else
i see the light at the end of the tunnel
i see the light at the end of the tunnel
held by these bars that won't keep me forever
yes i've tasted blood, that i'll always remember
this night is my last, nothing ever will be the same
when they walk with me down the dark corridor, send the fire through my veins
i see the light at the end of the tunnel
i see the light at the end of the tunnel
