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 you to 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 you look when the walls cave in 
I like the way that your stomach knots 
And how you cry for it all to stop 

I like the way that you fool yourself 
And make believe there's nobody else 
I like the way that you stand in line 
And beg salvation from the empty skies 

Chorus 
Don't want no revenge 
Ain't no pay back time 
It ain't called getting even 
Here comes the reconing 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 prey 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 

Chorus

Train of consequences
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 

Chorus 
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 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' 
Headed west 

Chorus

Addicted to chaos
Only yesterday they told me you were gone 
All these normal people will I find another one?
Monkey on ny 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 man, are you feeling strong?
My heart was blackened, it's bloody red 
A hole in my heart, a hole in my head 

Pre-Chorus 
Who will help me up?
Where's the helping hand?
Will you turn on me?
Is this my final stand?

Chorus 
In a dream I connot 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 blows 
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 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 
  
Chorus 
A tout le monde 
A tout 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 

Chorus 

Solo 

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

Elysian fields
Uneasy feeling, burning out my eyes 
I hope the end is less painful than my life 
I stand on trial before the gods 
On judgement day 
A blink of an eye between 
The cradle and the grave 

Pre-Chorus 
One last look at visions of flesh 
The last best hope of man on earth 
Pontius Pilate still washing his hands 
The world don't want to be saved 
Only left alone 

Chorus 
(Elysian Fields') We are storming the heavens 
(Elysian Fields') To raise the swords and sheilds 
(Elysian Fields') We ascend to our destiny 
(Elysian Fields') 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 mach speed 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 

Chorus 
I lost my mind, I lost all my money 
I lost my life to the killing road 
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 haul 
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 our side 
We ain't going nowhere 'cause heroes never die 

Chorus 
Still alive 
Blood of heroes 
Never die 
They never die 
Still alive 
Blood of heroes 
Never die 
They never die 

We've been run down every hill 
Chased up all the dead end 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 our teeth, now it's killing time 
Fasten up our head belts, 
Time to ride the skies 
It's time to be immortal, 'cause heroes never die 

Solo 

Chorus 

Blood of heroes 
Blood of heroes 
Blood of heroes 
They never die 

Still alive 
Blood of heroes 
Never die 
Blood of heroes

Family tree
Forgotten things remembered 
The tigers eat their young 
The body stayed but inside the head 
The mind was on the run 
Conspiracy of silence 
The only way out of pain 
Is turn around, run through it man 
Too wet to come in from the rain, 
Tell them... 

Pre-Chorus 
I know they were doing it to you 
But don't try doing it to me 

Chorus 
Let me show you, how I love you 
It's our secret, you and me 
But keep it in the family' 

When you hear them saying “trust me” 
Don't wait to see what's next 
Thrown to the wolves 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 waits in the dark 
I say... 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus 
Let me show you, how I love you 
It's our secret, you and me 
Let me show you, how I love you 
But keep it in the family tree 
Let me show you, how I love you 
It's our secret, you and me 
Let me show you, how I love you 
The secret of the family tree 

Solo 

Chorus 
Let me show you, how I love you 
It's our secret, you and me 
Let me show you, how I love you 
But keep it in the family tree 
Let me show you, how I love you 
It's our secret, you and me 
Let me show you, how I love you 
The secret of the family tree 
(Repeat Chorus)

Youthanasia
Who'd believe with the way things are here 
We'd be going anywhere telling people how to live?
Who'd belive we'd spend more shippin' drugs and guns 
Than to educate our sons'  Sorry, that's what they did 

Chorus 
I can't help but think, 
I can't help but think, 
I can't help but think, 
Someone's foresaken 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 

Chorus 

We are the damned of all the world 
With sadness in our hearts 
The wounded of the wars 
We've been hung 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 

Solos 

We are the damned of all the world 
With sadness in our hearts 
The wounded of the wars 
We've been hung 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 

We are the damned of all the world 
With sadness in our hearts 
The wounded of the wars 
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 somethings just fall through 
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 

Pre-Chorus 
Maybe I don't like it, but I have no choice 
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice 
Maybe I don't like it, but I have no choice 
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice 

Chorus 
I thought I knew it all (I thought I knew it all) 
I thought I had it made (I thought I had it made) 
How could it end this way' (How could it end this way') 
I thought I knew (I thought I knew) 

Somewhere there's a 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 my 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 

Chorus 
Black curtains' never ending 
Black curtains 

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 toungue 
Fate' is coming 
Welcome it with a smile 

Chorus 
Black curtains' never ending 
Black curtains' fall 

Am I dreaming'  My heart pounds my chest 
Held for ransom in a spider's web 
Suffocating, no one hears my calls 
Never ending, till the black curtain falls 

Solo 

Snakes' surround me 
Offering  their death kiss to me 
Down' I'm drowning 
How long, I hold my breath 
My legs are paralyzed 
Pray... don't find me 
My life is fading fast 

Chorus 
Black curtains' never ending 
Black curtains' fall 
Black curtains' never ending

Victory
Now, one day I started telling everyone 
That “Killing Is My Business'” and I was hung like a martyr 
For “Looking Down the Cross” my “Skull Beneath The Skin” 
Prophisized “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” 

Pre-Chorus 
Not even close' 
Not even close' 
Not even close' 
To overdose 

Chorus 
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins 
A knife right through my heart, I am a Victory 
Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins 
A knife right through my heart, I am a Victory 

Came “Anarchy” to “Set the World Afire” 
Pain of “Hook in Mouth”, “In My Darkest Hour” 
Corruption of 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”,“Forclosure of My Dreams” 
May the past “Rust in Peace” in “Hangar 18” 
And “Countdown to Extinction” Just be a bad dream 
“Lucretia” said'
