Lyrics: Billy,
Peterson, Skolnick
You think your
lifeīs so grand
You donīt believe a word you say
Your feet arenīt on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make your mind go blank
and then you lose control, then you lose control!
I never was the one, the one to say
the things you say
Never seem to wonder what you say
You think youīve got your life completely in control
Youīve got a lot to learn, the bridge you burned
Itīs gonna take its toll!!! Pay the burnt bridge toll!!!
So practice what you preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
You think your lifeīs so grand
You donīt believe a word you say
Your feet arenīt on the ground
You let your life just slip away
Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make your mind goes blank
and then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Practice What You Preach!
Lyrics:
Skolnick
Bold is the
one who dares to say what he feels
Renegation man, to no one he yields
The bleeding hearts and empty minds, hiding words they fear
Blind is the one who censors what we see and hear
Come into my world and take a journey with me
Paint me a portrait now, of the things you see
Men are poor and lost in war of ideology
No solution will prevail unless we can be
Free of anger, free of pain
Free of hatred that we obtain
Tell me what this place was meant to be
Can you see? Can you see what it does to me
Can you hear? Can you read?
Can you see what it did to me!
Totalitarians in a perilious nation
Forcing thought control turns to desolation
Listen to the leader speak heīs your only friend
Take a stand in the motherland, take it to the end
Say now what you will, before they make it illegal
Time to draw the line, between the bad and the evil
Distant times had friendly rules, became its deadliest foe
We have heard it all before, the morals come and go
Men are poor and lost in war of ideology
No solution will prevail unless we can be
Free of anger, free of pain
Free of hatred that we obtain
Tell me what this place was meant to be
Men are poor and lost in war of ideology
No solution will prevail unless we can be
Free of anger, free of pain
Free of hatred that we obtain
Tell me what this place was meant to be
Can you see? Can you see what it does to me
Can you hear? Can you read?
Can you see what it did to me, Can you hear? Can you read?
Can you see what it did to me
Can you hear? Can you read?
Can you see what it did to me...
Lyrics:
Peterson
In regards to
the nature used with pacts of magic
spirits from the vastly deep
Respond the calls from their broken silence
Make sure your reach does not exced your grasp
All that is to be done before you act
In a pact of invoking spirits from the past
Have you lost your mind
The dark souls of time
Ending Life!
Ending Life!
They see you calling out their names and getting ready
Chant in darkness shrouding near
Through your virtued youth theyīll strike a deal
Whatīs to obtain if no pain no gain
But to sell your soul you must be insane
Wrote your name in blood and then they came
Youīre as good as dead
The lost souls of time
Envy Life!
Envy Life!
Come on down to the house of pain
You hear them calling
Shouting out their names in vain. Envy Life!
In regards to the nature used with pacts of magic
spirits from the vastly deep
Respond the calls from their broken silence
Make sure your reach does not exced your grasp
All that is to be done before you act
In a pact of invoking spirits from the past
Youīre as good as dead
The lost souls of time, Envy Life, Envy Life! Envy Life, Envy
Life!
Lyrics: Billy
Yeah! The way
I feel, seems to me to be so real
So sick and tired you know just how I feel
Cops they dress in black, they bid their lives
The bribes they stack, so sick and tired
of the same old this and that
The time is coming, itīs too son I canīt quite tell
I donīt know, I think my world has gone to hell
The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel
I donīt know, thatīs the way that it makes me feel!
The man I most resent
You might know him through the government
Heīll tax our lives the money spent
Heīs just the president!!!
The land liberty for all mankind and all to see
Whatīs the use, laws a conspiracy
The time is coming, itīs too son I canīt quite tell
I donīt know, I think my world has gone to hell
The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel
I donīt know, thatīs the way that it makes me feel!
Searching for answers to make life complete
No need to search for more question
There for you to see!
The wars that we must fight
You dodge the draft before, you drive
so sick and tired, why canīt, why canīt they realiza
The rights they sympathize
Life is just a big disguise
So sick and tired, why canīt we live our lives
The time is coming, itīs too son I canīt quite tell
I donīt know, I think my world has gone to hell
The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel
I donīt know, thatīs the way that it makes me feel!
Lyrics: Billy,
Skolnick, Peterson
All that can
escape me, all I realize
that it will come back to me the day my father dies
His burning eyes would stare at you
I was born a masochise
I cried out in pain, as he clenches up his fist
Slowly as the years go by, the darkness builds inside
Trying to find a passage out, before I lose my mind
Ingestuous temptation but what is wrong or right
Why must I fall victim of hereditary spite
Soon! We will arise, forming despise
Conceptual intent
Blessed in contempt!
Thoughts have now come back to me
Itīs time to perpetrate
take me to my sanity, before it gets too late
Hear me as I call to you, right here down below
Resurrect my will to live, come before I... go!
Soon! We will arise, forming despise
Conceptual intent
Blessed in contempt!
Lyrics:
Skolnick
Fools the ones
who stray, the rain forest burns away
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe
So the world we know is dying slow in south america
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground
Time is running low, we canīt stay no more
Wealth these people see, fight for eternity
Lies they televise paid by the government
There on! It lingers on
and they donīt even care if they...
Seal the planetīs fate
crimes they perpetrate
wasting precious land
itīs time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
to stop the madness closing in
what will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Our only hope to breathe again
to stop the madness closing in
what will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Foes these people go, someone destroyed their home
Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees
Laws protect the land, social justice in demand
Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere
Now itīs time to see a cycle of a tragedy
On! It lingers on, and they donīt even care if they...
Seal the planetīs fate
crimes they perpetrate
wasting precious land
itīs time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
to stop the madness closing in
what will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Our only hope to breathe again
to stop the madness closing in
what will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Lyrics: Billy,
Skolnick, Peterson
The day
vanished in the night, soon the children pray
Pray themselves alone, the hate built from their pride
You canīt take away, canīt take what they own!
The eyes watching from the sky, guides them through the haze
Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night
Oh let them pray!
False sense of pride, satisfies
Thereīs no reason for suicide
Use your mind, and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence...
The crys answers wonder why, why its time to die
Time to die alone, cause Iīm wasting too much time
Wandering down the live reasons why I go my own!
False sense of pride, satisfies
Thereīs no reason for suicide
Use your mind, and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence...
The eyes watching from the sky, guides them through the haze
Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night
Oh let them pray!
False sense of pride, satisfies
Thereīs no reason for suicide
Use your mind, and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence...
False sense of pride, satisfies
Thereīs no reason for suicide
Use your mind, and hope to find
Find the meaning of existence...
Lyrics:
Skolnick, Peterson
Iīm not one
to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
I pray to see another day
My heartīs feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
My friend do you think that we ever will
I know we are free...
The games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I donīt mind doing time, Iīm happier being alive
Now I know the means to my opression were all lies
The only truth is your own most sacred lesson Iīve ever learned
I know we are free...
Iīve been robbed, Iīve been fooled
I intend now to make my own rules
Daggerīs edge cut the line, Iīve been down that road
too many times
Whatīs to fear, fear no more
Show my conscience what fearsīs for
Now I know this is so real
Whatīs done is done so do as you will!
Iīm keeping alive! Go on, no donīt look back
Just realize where youīve gone
Where are you going to, no lifes not done with you
Youīre only just begun, to live your life!
for you...
Lyrics:
Skolnick
You wanted
money, you wanted fame
You broke the rules before you knew the game
Wounds tearing you up like a knife
Wish it was the end of your life, itīs a nightmare
Going down that road on account of you
No escape from the things you put me through
I donīt know, I donīt care, I cant go anywhere,
itīs a nightmare coming back to you!
Donīt wanna die, just wanna live!
Iīve got stop taking wath they give
So many roads moving all around
I only see the one going down, itīs a nightmare
Going down that road on account of you
No escape from the things you put me through
I donīt know, I donīt care, I cant go anywhere,
itīs a nightmare coming back to you!
We got to fight, we got to try
When all is gone weīll know the reason why
To kill the enemy we will win the wars
To find the place our life was before, itīs a nightmare
Going down that road on account of you
No escape from the things you put me through
I donīt know, I donīt care, I cant go anywhere,
itīs a nightmare coming back to you!... to you! to you!...
