Holier than Thou

Holier than Thou

No more, the crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven’t changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don’t you worry about yourself instead?

Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Before you judge me, take a look at you
Can’t you find something better to do?
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It’s not who you are, it’s who you know
Others’ lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges and build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Yeah! Who the hell are you?

Ye-hey yo!

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Uoh… not!

Don't Tread on Me

Don't Tread on Me

Don’ tread on me
Say don’t tread on me

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Say don’t tread on me

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore…

Hey!

Don’t tread on me

Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Uhh no no no…

Say don’t tread on me

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore...

Don’t tread on me

Rah!

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

So be it, threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it, settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear evermore...

Don’t tread on me

Of Wolf and Man

Of Wolf and Man

Off through the new day’s mist I run
Out from the new day’s mist I have come
I hunt, therefore I am, harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day’s mist I run
Out from the new day’s mist I have come
We shift, pulsing with the Earth
Company we keep, roaming the land while you sleep

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I’ve been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning, back to the meaning of life

Bright is the moon, high in starlight
Chill in the air, cold as steel tonight
We shift, call of the wild
Fear in your eyes, it’s later than you realized

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I’ve been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning, back to the meaning of life

I feel a change, back to a better day
Shape shift, hair stands on the back of my neck
Shape shift, in wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I have been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning of wolf and man yeah

The God That Failed

The God That Failed

Pride you took, pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneel
Not the word, not the love
Not what you thought from above

It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows)
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed

Find your peace, find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave, a child to save
Left you cold and him in graveIt feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows)
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries

My Friend of Misery

My Friend of Misery

You just stood there screaming, fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most, the sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear and knowing only what you’ve heard
You, you’re smothered in tragedy and you’re out to save the world

Misery! You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery! There’s much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming, no one caring about these words you tell
My friend, before your voice is gone, one man’s fun is another’s hell
These times are sent to try men’s souls but something’s wrong with all you see
You, you’ll take it on all yourself, remember, misery loves company

Misery! You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery! There’s much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery, my friend of misery

Misery! You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery! There’s much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You just stood there screaming ouh
My friend of misery
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

The Struggle Within

The Struggle Within

Reaching out for something you’ve got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real

Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don’t want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose?

(What the Hell) What the Hell?
What is it you think you’re gonna find?
(Hypocrite) Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, the struggling within

Home is not a home, it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell

(Reaching out) Reaching out
Grabbing for something you’ve got to feel
(Closing in) Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, struggling within

Struggle

Go!

Reaching out for something you’ve got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell? What is it you think you’re gonna find?
Hypocrite Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within, it suits you fine
Struggle within, your ruin
Struggle within, you seal your own coffin
Struggle within, struggling within

The House Jack Built

The House Jack Built

Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes just to have them close again
Well on my way yeah, on my way to where I’ve been
It swallows me as it takes me in its fog
Uah! I twist away as I give this world the nod

Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes just to have them close once again
Don’t want control, yeah as it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon or just a light that lights this dead-end street?
Uah! Is that you there or just another demon that I meet?

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Yes, this is the house that Jack built, heah

Open door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin (let the show begin, let the show begin)

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts
Yes this is the house that Jack built

The higher you walk, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body my temple, this temple it tilts, yes I am, I am, I am, uah

Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there?
Uh! I twist away, away, away yeah, away

Mama said

Mama said

One, two, three, four… One, two… Ah

Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
“Son, your life’s an open book
don’t close it ‘fore its done”

“The brightest flame burns quickest”
That’s what I heard her say
A son’s heart owed to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still, yeah still

“Rebel” my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains

Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Never I asked of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave

Never I asked of you but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I’m coming home
I’m not all you wished of me
A mother’s love for her son
Unspoken, help me be

Yeah I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me yeah
I need your arms to welcome me
But, a cold stone’s all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still

Oh!

Never I asked of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave

Never I asked of you but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

"Am I Savage?"

"Am I Savage?"


Ooooh,
Run away, the past will bite again
Ooooh,
No matter where you dwell
You,
Here again, a captive of the howl
You,
Welcome back to hell

Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding

Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks angers reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change

Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
I don't recognize you anymore

Ooooh,
Tooth is fang, twisting under skin
Ooooh,
Foul tongue, black breath
Change,
Snap inside, the Beast about complete
Change,
Soon infects the rest

Faithful, as the full moon is rising
Beauty and the Beast are colliding

Sharpened edge touch liquid flame
Deepened seed soaks angers reign
Arching back, shape-shift derange
Father, how I watched you change

Am I savage?
Howling at the door
Am I savage?
I don't recognize you anymore
Anymore


Ooooh,
Inheritance, the past has bit again
Ooooh,
The next heir of anarchy
Feel,
Stretching skin so far beyond belief
I feel,
The ever changing, you, in me

Am I savage?
Scratching at the door
Am I savage?
Howling evermore
Am I savage?
I don't recognize me anymore
Anymore

Anymore, ha ha ha
Am I savage?
