Reckoning Day
Train of Consequences
Addicted to Chaos
A Tout Le Monde
Elysian Fields
The Killing Road
Blood of Heroes
Family Tree
Youthanasia
I Thought I Knew It All
Black Curtains
Victory

RECKONING DAY
I LIKE THE WAY THAT I MAKE YOU ITCH
AND ALL THE REASONS
I GIVE TO THE BITCH
AND HOW I MAKE YOU WANNA
SCREAM IN PAIN
AND FEEL YOUR LIFE
IS JUST A LOSING GAME

I LIKE THE WAY THAT YOU LET ME IN
THE WAY LOOK
WHEN THE WALLS CAPE IN
I LIKE THE WAY
THAT YOUR STOMACH KNOTS
AND HOW TO CRY FOR IT ALL TO STOP

I LIKE THE WAY
THAT YOU FOOT YOURSELF
AND MAKE BELIEVE
THERE'S NOBODY ELSE
I LIKE THE WAY THAT YOU STAND IN LINE
AND BEG SALVATION
FROM THE EMPTY SKIES

DON'T WANT NO REVENGE
AIN'T NO PAY BACK TIME
IT AIN'T CALLED GETTING EVEN
HERE COMES THE RECKONING DAY

I LIKE THE THINGS THAT YOU TRY TO FAKE
AND YOUR FACE WHEN I SEE YOU BREAK
AND THAT YOU SAY YOU WILL PRAY FOR ME
YOU REALIZE YOU ARE PRAY FOR ME

I LIKE THE WAY YOU STAY ON ATTACK
NO MATTER WHAT I KEEP COMING BACK
AND HOW YOU TRY TO HOLD ME DOWN
BUT YOU END UP DRIVEN TO THE GROUND

TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES
I'M DOING ME A FLAVOUR
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...
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'STYLL
MY THINKING IS DERAILED
I'M TIED UP TO THE TRACKS
THE TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES
THERE AIN'T NO TURNING BACK

NO HORSE EVER RAN AS FAST
AS THE MONEY THAT YOU BET
I'M BLOWING ON MY CARDS
AND I PLAY THEM TO MY CHEST
LIFE'S FABRIC IS CORRUPT
SHOT TROUGH
WITH CORRODED THREAD
AS FOR ME I HOCKED MY BRAINS
PACKED MY BAGS AND HEADED WEST

ADDICTED TO CHAOS
ONLY YESTERDAY THEY TOLD ME
YOU WERE GONE
ALL THESE NORMAL PEOPLE,
WILL I FIND ANOTHER ONE?
MONKEY ON MY BACK, ACHING IN MY BONES
I FORGOT YOU SAID
"ONE DAY YOU'LL WALK ALONE"
I SAID I NEED YOU
DOES THAT MAKE ME WRONG?
AM I A WEAK MEN,
ARE YOU FEELING STRONG?
MY HEART WAS BLACKENED, IT'S BLOODY RED
A HOLE IN MY HEART, A HOLE IN MY HEAD?

WHO WILL HELP ME UP?
WHERE'S THE HELPING HAND?
WILL YOU TURN ON ME?
IS THIS MY FINAL STAND?

IN A DREAM I CANNOT SEE
TANGLED ABSTRACT FALLACY
RANDOM TURMOIL BUILDS IN ME
I'M ADDICTED TO CHAOS

LIGHT SHINED ON MY PATH,
TURN BAD DAYS INTO GOOD
TURN BREAKDOWNS INTO BLOCKS,
I SMASHED `EM CAUSE I COULD
MY BRAIN WAS LABORED,
MY HEAD WOULD SPIN
DON'T LET ME DOWN, DON'T GIVE UP,
DON'T GIVE IN
THE RAIN COMES DOWN, COLD WIND BLOW
THE PLANS WE MADE ARE BACK
UP ON THE ROAD
TURN UP MY COLLAR,
WELCOME THE UNKNOWN
REMEMBER THAT YOU SAID
"ONE DAY YOU'LL WALK ALONE"

A TOUT LE MONDE
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 PLANES DENIED

SO JOY READ THIS
KNOW MY FRIENDS
I'D LOVE STAY WITH YOU ALL
PLEASE SMILE WHEN YOU THINK OF ME
MY BODY'S GONE THAT'S ALL

A TOUT LE MONDE
A TOUT LES 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 WASVSTILL 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

ELYSIAN FIELDS
UNEASY FEELING,
BURNING OUT MY EYES
I HOPE THE END
IT LESS PAINFUL THAN MY LIFE
I STAND ON TRIAL BEFORE
THE GODS ON JUDGMENT DAY
A BLINK OF AN EYE BETWEEN
THE CRADLE AND THE GRAVE

ON LAST LOOK
AT VISIONS OF FLESH
THE LAST BEST HOPE
OF MAN ON EARTH
PONTIOUS PILATE
STILL WASHING HIS HANDS
THE WORLD DON'T WANT TO BE
SAVED
ONLY LEFT ALONE

ELYSIAN FIELDS...
WE ARE STORMING THE HEAVENS
TO RAISE THE SWORDS AND SHIELDS
WE ASCEND TO OUR DESTINY
TO THE ELYSIAN FIELDS

SOARING TO THE SUN
WITH BLOOD UPON THEIR WINGS
SUPERSTITIOUS DUST
LEFT TWISTING IN THE WIND
MAN STILL HAS ONE BELIEF,
ONE DECREE THAT STANDS ALONE
THE LAYING DOWN OF ARMS
IS LIKE CANCER TO THEIR BONES

THE KILLING ROAD
AGAIN WE STALK THE STAGE
AT MUCH WE ENGAGE
FEEDING PEOPLE'S RAGE
THE BIG CAT'S LEFT IT'S CAGE
BACK IN THE BUS AGAIN
TO CATCH ANOTHER PLANE
THIS BEHAVIOR'S QUITE INSANE
BUT WE DO IT FOR THE FAME,YEAH

I LOST MY MIND
I LOST ALL MY MONEY
I LOST MY LIFE TO THE KILLING ROAD

THE ROAD WILL NEVER END
IT ALWAYS STARTS AGAIN
ANOTHER SHOW'S
AROUND THE BEND
ANOTHER LONG LOST FRIEND
FACELESS AS THE SNOW
THERE'S NOTHING SPECIAL
ABOUT THE ROAD
IT'S JUST ANOTHER HANE
IT'S JUST TOO DAMN LONG
THAT'S ALL,YEAH

BLOOD OF HEROES
WALKING STIFF LET ME TELL YA
BETTER LEFT FOR DEAD
AND NOW WE ARE ON A MISSION
WELL IT'S FULL SPEED AHEAD
MY LEGION'S
WHEN WE DO THE CRIME
LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT
TO GET THERE EARLY IS ON TIME
AND SHOWING UP ON TIME IS LATE

LADIES AND GENTS
WE'RE STILL ALIVE
BY THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH
NOW IT'S KILLING TIME
ANGEL IN OUR POCKET,
DEVIL BY YOUR SIDE
WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE CUZ
HEROES NEVER DIE

STILL ALIVE
BLOOD OF HEROES
NEVER DIE
THEY NEVER DIE

WE'VE BEEN RUN DOWN EVERY KILL
CHASED UP ALL THE
DEAD AND STREETS
BUT IF YOU TRY TO CUT US OUT
YOU'LL GET A KICK IN THE TEETH

LADIES AND GENTS
WE'RE STILL ALIVE
BY THE SKIN OF OYR TEETH
NOW IT'S KILLING TIME
FASTEN UP YOUR HEAD BELTS
TIME TO RIDE THE SKIES
IT'S TIME TO BE IMMORTAL CUZ
HEROES NEVER DIE

FAMILY TREE
FORGOTTEN THINGS REMEBERED
THE TIGERS EAT THEIR YOUNG
THE BODY STAYED
BUT INSIDE HEAD
THE MIND WAS ON THE RUN
A CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
THE ONLY WAY OUT OF PAIN
IT TURN AROUND
RUN TROUGH IT MAN
TOO WET TO COME IN
FROM THE RAIN
TELL THEM...

I KNOW THEY WERE
DOING IT TO YOU
BUT DON'T TRY DOING IT TO ME

LET ME SHOW YOU
HOW I LOVE YOU
IT'S OUR SECRET,YOU AND ME
BUT KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY TREE
THE SECRET OF THE FAMILY TREE

WHEN YOU HEAR THEM SAYING
"TRUST ME"
DON'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S NEXT
THROWN TO THE WOLVEWS
FOREVER TRUSTING
RAISED IN A FORM OF LIVING HELL
SING A ONE NOTE SONG OF RAGE
LIVE AND DIE WITHIN YOUR HEART
SO BEWARE IN THE SHADOWS
YOUR FAMILY TREE
WAIT IN THE DARK
I SAY...

YOUTHANASIA
WHO'D BELIEVE
WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE HERE
WE'D BE GOING ANYWHERE TELLING
PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE?
WHO'D BELIEVE WE'D SPEND MORE
SHIPPIN' DRUGS AND GUNS
THAN TO EDUCATE OUR SONS? SORRY
BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DID

I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK,
SOMEONE'S FORSAKEN YOU AND ME

LUCK DESERTED ME AND THE TRUTH
BEAT OUT MY BRAINS
MEN RISE ON STEPPING STONES OF
THEIR SELVES TO HIGHER THINGS
I'VE STEPPED OVER LOTS OF BODIES
ON MY WAY
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION
DON'T NEED NO MORE ANYTHING

WE ARE THE DAMNED
OF ALL THE WORLD
WITH SADNESS IN OUR HEARTS
THE WOUNDED OF THE WARS
WE'VE BEEN HUGH OUT TO DRY
YOU DIDN'T WANT US ANYWAY
AND NOW WE'RE
MAKING UP OUR MINDS
YOU TELL US HOW TO RUN OUR LIVES
WE RUN FOR YOUTHANASIA

I THOUGHT I KNEW IT ALL
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A REASON WHY
THINGS GO LIKE THEY DO
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A REASON WHY
SOMETHING JUST FALL TROUGH
WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE THEM FOR
WHAT THEY REALLY ARE
BUT I KNOW THERE'S A REASON,JUST
CAN'T SEE IT FROM THIS FAR

MAYBE I DON'T LIKE IT,BUT I HAVE NO
CHOICE
I KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE,SOMEONE HEARS MY VOICE

I THOUGHT I KNEW IT ALL
I THOUGHT I HAD IT MADE
HOW COULD IT END THIS WAY?
I THOUGHT I KNEW ALL

SOMEWHERE THERE'S THE REASON WHY
THINGS DON'T GO MY WAY
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A REASON
THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN
JUST LIKE THE CHANGE OF SEASON
JUST MAY NOT BE TURN
BUT I KNOW THERE'S A REASON,THE
LESSON'S MINE TO LEARN

BLACK CURTAINS
HEY...LOOK AROUND YOU
EVERYTHING'S HELTER-SKELTER
LISTEN UP...I WARN YOU
RUN FOR COVER,RUN
BANG...IT HAPPENED
TIME'S UP,ARMAGEDDON
FIRE...MELTDOWN
THE SKY IS CRUMBLING IN

BLACK COURTAINS...NEVER ENDING

ESCAPE...YOU'RE JOKING
CAN'T FIND NO PLACE TO RUN
HAIR...IS BURNING
MY FLESH IS BUBBLING UP
BLOOD...IS BOILING
TASTE COPPER ON MY TONGUE
FATE...IS COMING
WELCOME IT WITH SMILE

BLACK CURTAINS-NEVER ENDING,FALL

AM I DREAMING?
MY HEART POUNDS MY CHEST
HELD FOR RANSON IN A SPIDER'S WEB
SUFFOCATING,NO ONE HEARS MY CALLS
NEVER ENDING,
TILL THE BLACK CURTAINS FALLS

SNAKES...SURROUND ME
OFFERING THEIR DEATH KISS TO ME
DOWN...I'M DROWNING
HOW LONG,I HOLD MY BREATH
DOGS...ARE CHASING
MY LEGS ARE PARALYZED
PRAY...DON'T FIND ME
MY LIFE IS FADING FAST

VICTORY
NOW,ONE DAY I STARTED TELLING
EVERYONE THAT
"KILLING IS MY BUSSINES"
AND I WAS HUNG LIKE A MARTYR
FOR "LOOKING DOWN THE CROSS"
MY "SKULL BENEATH THE SKIN"
PROPHESIED "LAST RITES/LOVED TO
DEATH" MY FRIENDS
THEN I STARTED SEEING
"BAD OMENS" IN MY HEAD
"GOOD MORNING/BLACK FRIDAY"
WILL I "WAKE UP DEAD"?
IF I "AIN'T SUPERSTITIOUS"
THEN THIS WON'T MEAN A THING
BUT SOME CRAZY SHIT HAS
HAPPENED SINCE "THE CONJURING"

HAD FINGER IN MY EYES,
HAD NEEDLES IN MY VEINS
A KNIFE RIGHT THROUGH MY HEART,
I AM A VICTORY

CAME "ANARCHY" TO
"SET THE WORLD A FIRE"
PAIN OF "HOOK IN MONTH
"IN MY DARKNEST HOUR"
CORRUPTION ON THE WORLD "PEACE
SELLS...BUT NOBODY'S BUYING"
IGNORANT RELIGION "HOLY WARS"
AND THE DYING,YEA
"TORNADO" NEARLY GOT ME BY THE
"SKIN OF MY TEETH"
"THIS WAS MY LIFE","FORECLOSURE
OF MY DREAMS"
MAY THE PAST "RUST IN PEACE" IN
"HANGER 18"
AND "COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION"
JUST BE A BAD DREAM
"LUCRETIA" SAID...
