that was just your life
the end of the line
harvester of sorrow
disposable heroes
one
broken beat and scarred
cyanide
sad but true
the unforgiven
the judas kiss
kirk solo1
the day that never comes
master of puppets
damage inc
kirk solo2
nothing else matters
enter sandman
stone dead forever
phantom lord
seek and destroy
that was just your life
like a siren in my head that i was placed to repeat,
like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat,
like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
like an illness that i'm about to waken from its state.

contradiction,
a premonition,
now are the aids who i deny,
i deny.

i blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
i stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
i blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
i open just in time to say goodbye.

almost like your life,
almost like your endless fight,
cursed, the day is long,
realize you don't belong,
disconnect somehow,
never stop complaining now,
almost like your fight,
and there it went,
almost like your life.

like a bullet, keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
like a raging river, drowning when i only need a drink,
like a poison that i swallow, but i want the world to die.

like a release from a prison that i didn't know i was in,
like a fight to live the present, i pictured it like this,
like a general without a mission until the wars start again,
start again.

i blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
i stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
i blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
i open just in time to say goodbye.

almost like your life,
almost like your endless fight,
cursed, the day is long,
realize you don't belong,
disconnect somehow,
never stop complaining now,
almost like your fight,
and there it went,
almost like your life.

[solo]

like a touch from hell, i feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
that brings you straight down to your knees,
like a touch from hell, i feel how hot that it can get if i get caught,
like a strike from heaven to reprieve,
that brings you straight down to your knees.

[dual guitar solo]

almost like your life,
almost like your endless fight,
cursed, the day is long,
realize you don't belong,
disconnect somehow,
never stop complaining now,
almost like your fight,
and there it went,
almost like your life.
that was just your life.

the end of the line
need more and more
tainted misery
bleed battle scars
cannot cool up enity
reign legacy
in a sense corrode
stain right away
catatonic overload
choke asphyxia
snuff reality
scorch kill the light
obliterate celebrity
reefer butchery
call the amputee
bloodline redefy
death contagious deity
who came to this deceiver?
need more and more
into the endless fever
need more and more

new consequence machine
run through all your gasoline
fly them overtime
nevermind you've reached the end of the line
time choke the clock
steal another day
die make believe
lost statistic fade away
twisted choke the rail
shattered crowd below
reaper chase the ghost
the lastest high to all time low
who came to this deceiver?
need more and more
into the endless fever
need more and more

new consequence machine
run through all your gasoline
fly them overtime
nevermind you've reached the end of the line
drop the hourglass of time
spinning sand we will not find
as we gather here today
we bid farewell
the slave becomes the master

the slave becomes the master
need more and more
right now and ever after
need more and more

new consequence machine
run through all your gasoline
fly them overtime
nevermind cannot go back through time
sand we will not ever find
we gather here today
say goodbye
'cause you've reached the end of the line

the end of the line
you've reached the end of the line

harvester of sorrow
my life suffocates
planting seeds of hate
i've loved, turned to hate
trapped far beyond my fate

i give
you take
this life that i forsake
been cheated of my youth
you turned this lie to truth

anger
misery
you'll suffer unto me

harvester of sorrow
language of the mad
harvester of sorrow

pure black looking clear
my work is done soon here
try getting back to me
get back which used to be

drink up
shoot in
let the beatings begin
distributor of pain
your loss becomes my gain

anger
misery
you'll suffer unto me

harvester of sorrow
language of the mad
harvester of sorrow

all have said their prayers
invade their nightmares
see into my eyes
you'll find where murder lies

infanticide

harvester of sorrow
language of the mad
harvester of sorrow
language of the mad
harvester of sorrow

disposable heroes
bodies fill the fields i see, hungry heroes end
no one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
victim of what said should be
a servant `til i fall

soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, greeting death
he's yours to take away

back to the front
you will do what i say, when i say
back to the front
you will die when i say, you must die
back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
more a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields i see
the slaughter never ends

soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, greeting death
he's yours to take away

back to the front
you will do what i say, when i say
back to the front
you will die when i say, you must die
back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

why, am i dying?
kill, have no fear
lie, live off lying
hell, hell is here

i was born for dying

life planned out before my birth, nothing could i say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
looking back i realize, nothing have i done
left to die with only friend
alone i clench my gun

soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, greeting death
he's yours to take away

back to the front
you will do what i say, when i say
back to the front
you will die when i say, you must die
back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

back to the front.

one
i can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside i feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me

now that the war is through with me
i'm waking up i can not see
that there is not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now

hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me

back in the womb its much too real
in pumps life that i must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when i'll live

fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me

hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god,wake me

now the world is gone i'm just one
oh god,help me hold my breath as i wish for death
oh please god help me

darkness imprisoning me
all that i see
absolute horror
i cannot live
i cannot die
body my holding cell

landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell

broken beat and scarred
you rise you fall your down and you rise again
what don't kill you makes you more strong
you rise you fall your down and you rise again
what don't kill you made you more strong
rise fall down rise again
what don't kill you makes you more strong
rise fall down rise again
what don't kill you made you more strong
through black days through black nights
through pitch black insights

breaking your teeth on the high life?? are coming
show your scars
cutting your feet on the hard earth running
show your scars

broken beat and scarred
but we die hard

dawn the death the fight to the final breath
what don't kill you made you more strong
the dawn the death the fight to the final breath
what don't kill you make you more strong
dawn death fight final breath
what don't kill you make you more strong
dawn death fight final breath
what don't kill you make you more strong
the scratch me they scrape me they cut and rape me

breaking your teeth on the high life?? are coming
show your scars
cutting your feet on the hard earth running
show your scars

breaking your life and broken beat and scarred
but we die hard

breaking your teeth on the hard life?? are coming
show your scars
cutting your feet on the hard earth running
show your scars

braiding your soul in a hard luck story
show your scars
spilling your blood an a hot suns foray

breaking your life and broken beat and scarred
but we die hard

we die hard!!!
we die hard

cyanide
sleep,
and dream of this,
death angel's kiss,
brings finalness;
don't believe it!

empty are they;
death; wont you let - me - stay?
empty they say;
death; wont you call - your - name?
ooh, call your name!

[chorus]
suicide - i've already died,
it's just the funeral i've been waiting for.
cyanide - feeling dead inside,
break this empty shell forever more.

wait, wait patiently,
your death-black wings,
unfolding, scream;
spreading for me!

empty they say,
death wont you let - me - stay?
empty they say,
death you can call - your - name?
ooh, call your name!

[chorus]

days that rain or are they tears?
that sting your concrete face for years?
crying, weeping, shedding strife,
year after year, life after life.

and arrow thrust in broken ground,
a concrete angel, never lie down.
calm anew that swallows fast,
it's peace at last, oh peace at last!

empty they say,
death; won't you let - me - stay?
empty they say,
death; let me call - your - name!
ooh, call your name!

[chorus]

forever more!
forever more!
just the funeral i've been waiting for!

the unforgiven
new blood joins this earth
and quikly he's subdued
through constant pain disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known

a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me
what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what i've felt
what i've known
never shined through in what i've shown
never free
never me
so i dub the unforgiven

you labeled me
i'll label you
so i dub the unforgiven

the judas kiss
when the world has turned its back
when the days have turned pitch black
when the fear abducts your tongue
when the fire's dead and gone
so what now?
where go i?
when you think it's all said and done
when you are the ostracized
selfish ridden, dead goodbyes
twisting of the tourniquet
when the pieces never fit
so what now?
where go i?
when you think it's all said and done
bow down
sell your soul to me
i will set you free
pacify your demons
bow down
surrender unto me
submit infectiously
sanctify your demons
into abyss
you don't exist
cannot resist
the judas kiss
when the storm has blacked your sky
intuition crucify
when the ego strips your reign
assassinate the living flame
so what now?
where go i?
when you think it's all said and done
venom of a life insane
bites into your fragile veins
internalize and decimates
patronize and complicates
so what now?
where go i?
when you think it's all said and done
bow down
sell your soul to me
i will set you free
pacify your demons
bow down
surrender unto me
submit infectiously
sanctify your demons
into abyss
you don't exist
cannot resist
the judas kiss
judas lives, recite this vow
i've become your new god now
follow you from dawn of time
whisper thoughts into your mind
watched your towers hit the ground
lured the children never found
helped your kings abuse their crown
in the heart of evil man
plant the seeds of my own plan
the strong and powerful will fall
find a piece of me in all
inside you all so bow down
sell your soul to me
i will set you free
pacify your demons
bow down
surrender unto me
submit infectiously
sanctify your demons
into abyss
you don't exist
cannot resist
the judas kiss

the day that never comes
born to push you around
you better just stay down
you pull away
he hits the flesh
you hit the ground
mouths so full of lies
tend to black your eyes
just keep them closed
keep praying
just keep waiting

waiting for the one
the day that never comes
when you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
no the sunshine never comes

push you cross that line
just stay down this time
hide in yourself
crawl in yourself
you'll have your time
god i'll make them pay
take it back one day
i'll end this day
i'll splatter color on this grave

waiting for the one
the day that never comes
when you stand up and feel the warmth
but the sunshine never comes
no the sunshine never comes

love is a four letter word
and never spoken here
love is a four letter word
here in this prison
i suffer this no longer
i put it into
this i swear!
this i swear!
the sun will shine
this i swear!
this i swear!
this i swear!

master of puppets
end of passion play, crumbling away
i'm your source of self-destruction
veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
leading on your deaths construction
taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how i'm killing you

come crawling faster
obey your master
your life burns faster
obey your master
master

master of puppets i'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
blinded by me, you can't see a thing
just call my name, `cause i'll hear you scream
master

just call my ame, `cause i'll hear you scream

needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror
taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how i'm killing you

come crawling faster
obey your master
your life burns faster
obey your master

master, master, where's the dreams that i've been after?
master, master, you promised only lies
laughter, laughter, all i hear and see is laughter
laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season
i will occupy
i will help you die
i will run through you
now i rule you too

come crawling faster
obey your master
your life burns faster
obey your master

master of puppets i'm pulling your strings

damage inc
dealing out the agony within
charging hard and no one's gonna give in
living on your knees, conformity
or dying on your feet for honesty
inbred, our bodies work as one
bloody, but never cry submission
following our instinct not a trend
go against the grain until the end

blood will follow blood
dying time is here
damage incorporated

slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
stepping out? you'll feel our hell on your back
blood follows blood and we make sure
life ain't for you and we're the cure
honesty is my only excuse
try to rob us of it, but it's no use
steamroller action crushing all
victim is your name and you shall fall

blood will follow blood
dying time is here
damage incorporated

we chew and spit you out
we laugh, you scream and shout
all flee, with fear you run
you'll know just where we come from

damage incorporated

damage jackals ripping right through you
sight and smell of this, it gets me goin'
know just how to get just what we want
tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
fuck it all and fucking no regrets
never happy ending on these dark sets
all's fair for damage inc. you see
step a little closer if you please

blood will follow blood
dying time is here
damage incorporated

couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are

trust i seek and i find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know

enter sandman
say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white

dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now i lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if i die before i wake
pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

stone dead forever

motorhead's song

you think you see me in the glass 
you think you hear me you better listen fast 
i think i see you gone to seed 
the only reason was your guilt and greed 
 
you're out there on your own 
your face has turned to stone 
whatever happened to your life 
stone dead forever. 
 
you're a financial wizard, a top tycoon 
sweet lounge lizard with a silver spoon 
you know you've never had it quite so good 
and you didn't know that you even could 
 
the dark side of the road 
and it's your time to go 
whatever happened to your life 
stone dead forever 
 
it's been a long time 
and a long long wait 
and you caught your fingers in the pearly gates 
you better leave your number 
and we'll call you 
you know your problems they ain't exactly new 
 
but your time has come today 
your feet turn to clay 
whatever happened to your life 
stone dead forever.

phantom lord
sound is ripping through your ears
the deafing sound of metal nears
your bodies waiting for his whips
the taste of leather on your lips

hear the cry of war
louder than before
with his sword in hand
to control the land
crushing metal strikes
on this frightening night
fall onto your knees
for the phantom lord

victims falling under chains
you hear them crying death pains
the fists of terrors breaking through
now there's nothing you can do

hear the cry of war
louder than before
with his sword in hand
to control the land
crushing metal strikes
on this frightening night
fall onto your knees
for the phantom lord

the leathered armies have prevailed
the phantom lord has never failed
smoke is lifting from the ground
the rising volume metal sound

hear the cry of war
louder than before
with his sword in hand
to control the land
crushing metal strikes
on this frightening night
fall onto your knees
for the phantom lord

fall to your knees
and bow to the phantom lord

seek and destroy
we are scanning the scene
in the city tonight
we are looking for you
to start up a fight
there is an evil feeling
in our brains
but it is nothing new
you know it drives us insane

our brains are on fire
with the feeling to kill
and it will not go away
until our dreams are fulfilled
there is only one thing
on our minds
don't try running away
`cause you're the one we will find

running,
on our way
