Hate

distortion sounds

Hate
Is what I am
'cause underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man

You'll wear your crown
When you're lyin' 6 feet
Underground

Don't ya 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
'cause 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
Hate

Yes, hate
Is what I am
'cause underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man

Man
Man

Rain

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
Yeah

Rain down on me
Tell me what you want me to know
Tell me what you're dying 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
Yeah

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

Master & Slave

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

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
'til we return to night

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
1, 2, 3, 4

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
Ah-oh

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

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
Since 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

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
Knowin' 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 will swear to only one

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

And now there's nothing left
Without a place to hide
We'll 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

Whoa
In the jungle

Mothers mourn
Fathers groan

A 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

Whoa
In 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

Whoa
In the Jungle

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

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

Ah-ah-ah-ah--ah----ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah--ah----ah

Look behind the mask
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

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 (people)
Deep in trouble
Bet their money
On the double

Outside
They search for something
Inside
They still have nothing

It never ends
There's nothing I can do (do do do)
There's nothing I can say (say say say)
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
Yeah

Heartless (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 clearer
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

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 praying

The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead

Whatever gets you through the night
Friends seem 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 praying

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 praying

I 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
Can't sleep at night
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
Can't sleep at night
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
Can't sleep at night
You can't go on

You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime
And you can't go on

You can't go on

God
Never spoke to me
About your sin
So livin'
In my eyes (??)
We'll testify(??)

So cut your straight lines on the mirror
And dip your hands in holy water
Try and wash away the shame
'cause all you've got
Is your father's name

You confess
You can't help yourself
Can't sleep at night
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
Can't sleep at night
You can't go on

You're possessed
You can't fool yourself
You're the crime
And you can't go on

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

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
'til all the eyes
Are truly open

You
Can't hide away
Throw what you may
When all is broke

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

I Walk Alone

I know deep inside of me
There's a place but its not plain to see
Where I belong
Where no on else can be

I'm searching for myself again
And here I'm all alone and when
I close my eyes
And no one else can see

I walk alone
Can't you see
I don't belong
Let me be

Everything I've dreamed of being
Is me
And I got myself to lean on
Got both my feet on the ground

And you don't know me
I don't know me
I can't see you
You can't see me
Close my eyes
And leave the world behind

So I got no heart
And I got no home
I got no somewhere I belong
And I don't worry
Everything is just fine

I walk alone
Can't you see
I don't belong
Let me be

Everything I've dreamed of being

And I don't belong
Can't you see
I walk alone
Let me be

Everything I've dreamed of being
Is me
And I got myself to lean on
Got both my feet on the ground

So I got no heart
And I got no home
And I got no somewhere I belong
And I don't worry
Everything's just

And I got myself to lean on
I got both my feet on the ground

And I got myself to lean on
I got both my feet on the ground

'cause I know deep inside of me
There's a place but it's not plain to see
Where I belong where
No one else can be

And I'm searching for myself again
And here I'm all alone and when
I close my eyes and
No on else can see
