HATE (IS WHAT I AM) -
Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man
You'll wear your crown
When you're lyin' 6 feet underground
Don'tcha think it's odd
Man was created in the image of God
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before
Yes, Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man
So you're lookin' for a saviour
But I'm here to tell ya
You gotta save yourself
Lead a lamb to slaughter
All you ever did was follow orders
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Hey listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before
Hate
HAATE!
Yes, Hate is what I am
Cuz underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man
Man
MAAAN
RAIN (DOWN ON ME) -
Tell me what you want me to be
I can't stand myself anymore
Tell me what you want me to see
I can't find my way off the floor
Took me like a hurricane
I think it's gonna rain, yeah
I think it's gonna rain
Rain down on me
Tell me what you want me to hear
Whisper words inside of my head
Thunder like a gun in my ear
Clouds are burstin' over my bed
Wash me like a hurricane
I think it's gonna rain, yeah
I think it's gonna rain
I think it's gonna rain down down down
I think it's gonna rain
Open your eyes
You can't deny
It's just a fantasy, yeah
Some things will end, some will begin
Some things will never be
Yeaaah
Rain down on me
Tell me what you want me to know
Tell me what you're dyin' to say
Throw your feelings up in the air
Let the pieces fall where they may
Open your eyes
You can't deny
It's just a fantasy, yeah
Some things will end, some will begin
Some things will never be
Yeaaaaah
I think it's gonna rain
I think it's gonna rain
I think it's gonna rain, yeah
I think it's gonna rain
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
TELL ME -
Life, a movie in my head
A page of lines we read
The words remain unsaid
Time, a race you never win
Look back at where we've been
And throw the towel in
(chorus)
Every time I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just wanna take my turn
Now before I crash and burn
Yeah
Hope, a candle burning bright
A temporary light
'Till we return tonight
Love, the mighty drug we crave
The master and the slave
Will rule us to our grave
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just want a place to rest,
Count to four and catch my breath
One, Two, Three, Four...
I don't know what to feel
Don't know what to say
Don't know what to do
I don't know where to go
Don't know who to be
Don't know who to know
Life is never what it seems
It shakes you from your dreams
Wake up and start to
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just want a place to rest
Stop and let me catch my breath
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
Forget all that I've been told
I just wanna lose control
Everytime I see a sign
Tell me what's the bottom line
Tell Me
I just wanna take my turn
Now before I crash and burn
CHILDHOOD'S END -
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you
(chorus)
And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said:
You were always my friend from Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
It's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and roller
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you
(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)
You've got something about you,
You've got something I need...")
I WILL BE THERE -
Each and every day
People turn away
Change the things they feel
Change the things they say
We can never know
Where our lives will lead
Wherever you go
Whenever you need
I will be there
Wanna be there
I will hear you when you call
Give you anything at all
I will be there
Anywhere
Like a father to his son
You are just a child
All is yet to be
Growing all the while
Knowing when you leave
I will be there
Wanna be there
Only blood will run so deep
Seal the promise I will keep
I will be there
Anywhere
Like a father to his son
I can swear to only one
Time moves quickly as the years go by
All these moments slip away
When I'm gone and life will carry on
You will know someway
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Wanna be there
Only blood will run so deep
Seal the promise I will keep
I will be there
Like a father to his son
I must swear to only one
THE JUNGLE -
Here I go
Down below
The sun is goin' down
A jungle comes alive
The beast is waking up
To take another life
I can't sleep
In too deep
The man with nothing left
Without a place to hide
Will take a final breath
And tumble in the night
Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's fallen prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day
Whoooaaaaaoooohhhh, The Jungle
Mothers mourn
Fathers groan
The child takes a hit
And then he starts to cry
A mother never hears
Her baby's last goodbye
Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's fallen prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day
Whoooaaaaaoooohhhh, The Jungle
The sun is coming up
A city comes alive
The lamb will never see
A jungle in the sky
Yeah
Someone's safe at home
Someone dies alone
Someone's falling prey
Yeah
Some will take their fill
Like lions to the kill
Livin' day to day
Yeah
Someone dies alone
Someone's safe at home
All is flesh and bone
Whoooaaaaaoooohhhh, The Jungle
SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT -
He always wears his bible belt
The collar under his head
It's like a noose around his neck
His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Ears don't hear a sound
Seduction Of The Innocent
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin?
The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead
Whatever gets you through the night
Friends sing to clear your mind
Seduction Of The Innocent
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons
And don't know why
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
IT NEVER GOES AWAY -
Want it
You can have it
Come and take it
I don't need it
Power and possessions
Never quiet your obsessions
Outside, we search for something
Inside, we still have nothing
People deep in trouble
Let their money run for double
Outside, they search for something
Inside, they still have nothing
It never ends
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
Yeah
Heartless rich and greedy
Watch the churches rape the needy
While we pray for salvation
Preachers yield to temptation
It never ends
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
Blinded believers and doomsday deceivers
Are driving you out of your head
Look in the mirror, the answer is near
Though your sanity hangs by a thread
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even I could
And even I would
It never goes away
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
IN MY HEAD -
I'm obnoxious and no one's home
In my head
In my head
Cardboard boxes filled with hate
In my head
They're in my head
Nest of termites, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head
(chorus)
Look behind the mask
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me by the hand
Faded smiles behind dark shades
In my head
In my head
Plastic icons, glowin' red
In my head
They're in my head
I experiment with myself
In my head
In my head
Look behind the glass
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me
Aaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaa
Aaaaahhhaaaaaahaaaa
Look behind the glass
Try to find peace of mind
And you'll find
Just look behind the man
And lead me
Look behind the man
Look behind the glass
Look behind the mask
YOU CONFESS -
When I look into the mirror
Just can't believe, what do I see
There's no wakin' from this nightmare
And you're lost in your reality
So you tell me all your secrets
And you tell me that you're innocent
There's something in your eyes I can see
And my face keeps looking back at me
You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on
Another day, another sorrow
No today and no tomorrow
Try and wash away the shame
And you smile in your picture frame
You had a charmed life, but you think from grace
And you're long gone without a trace
You're all alone and wonder why
And you laugh when you wanna cry
You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and you can't go on
You Confess
You can't help yourself
This living lie that you can't go on
You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime and it can't go on
It can't go on
God never spoke to me about your sin
So livin' in our lies will test the faith
So cut your straight lines on the mirror
And dip your hands in holy water
Try and wash away the shame
Cuz all you've got is your father's name
(repeat choruses)
(Take A Look) IN THE MIRROR -
You were in the right
Until you're left stuck in the middle
I still wonder why
You gave it all for such a little
You
Tell me you're only
Scared to be lonely
On and on
You
Livin' on credit
Want it, you get it
Right or wrong
(chorus)
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
You appear to me
Appear to be lost in confusion
I don't wanna live
Only to die in your illusion
You
Dial information
Station to station
On and on
You
Lie to your lover
Make him your cover
Blindfold on
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
Take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you by
Only a matter of time
Leavin' illusion behind
Tick Tock
You won't realize
'Till all the eyes are truly open
You can't hide away
Throw what you may, when all is broken
Go on and take a look in the mirror
All your fear gettin' nearer
Nothin' left to get you buy
You oughtta take a look in the mirror
Every line's gettin' clearer
See the face you can't deny
