Forever love it loud, yeah

Face your fear
Accept your war
It is what it is.

What's In You?

Step inside this nightmare where I live
The madman rolls inside my head
Step inside this nightmare where I live
The madman rolls inside my head

Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?

Helter skelter running through my veins
Satan's coming on his way
Helter skelter running through my veins
Satan's coming on his way

Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?

Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?
Oh, what's in you now?

Suicide Messiah

Crawl through the flames that eat your flesh
Drowned in the waters that know you best
S
tep inside, I've been waiting here for you
Underneath where you shall crawl
Flying so high youll never fall
Step inside we've been waiting here for you

Bow down, you chose your maker
He never gives, he's always a taker
The electric burns that fuel the fire
It's just your suicide messiah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Bow down, you chose your maker
He never gives, he's always a taker
The electric burns that fuel the fire
It's just your suicide messiah

Walk through the streets that know your name
All that's pure, is now insane
Step inside i've been waiting here for you
Another trip, another lie
Life's hand of doom has you feeling fine
Step inside we've been waiting here for you

Bow down, you chose your maker
He never gives, he's always a taker
The electric burns that fuel the fire
It's just your suicide messiah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Bow down, you chose your maker
He never gives, he's always a taker
The electric burns that fuel the fire
It's just your suicide messiah

Oh yeah,
B
ow down, you chose your maker
He never gives, he's always a taker
Bow down, you chose your maker
He never gives, he's always a taker
The electric burns that fuel the fire

Forever Down

Take a look inside
The warped and the sick
Forever born again
Just to die so quick
The floodgates of the damned
Shall crash and burn once again

Nuclear obsession
The fall of the weak
Atomic demolition
Destroy all you seek
The floodgates of the damned
Shall crash and burn once again

Down, down, down, forever down
Down, down, down, forever down

Terrified reflections
That rip through the sky
Apocalyptic birth
The screams and the cries
The floodgates of the damned
Shall crash and burn once again

The reverend of the grave
The mother of the end
The wings of the bastard
shall spread once again

Down, down, down, forever down
Down, down, down, forever down

Down, down, down, forever down
Down, down, down, forever down

Down, down, down, forever down
Down, down, down, forever down

In This River

I've been around this world
yet I see no end
all shall fade to black
again and again
this storm that's broken me
my only friend, yeah

In this river
all shall fade to black
in this river
ain't no coming back
In this river
all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn, I step away
just to find myself
the door is closed again
the only one left
this storm that's broken me
my only friend, yeah

In this river
all shall fade to black
in this river
ain't no coming back
In this river
all shall fade to black

In this river
all shall fade to black
in this river
ain't no coming back
In this river
all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

In this river
all shall fade to black
in this river
ain't no coming back
In this river
all shall fade to black

In this river
all shall fade to black
in this river
ain't no coming back
In this river
all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

You Must Be Blind

Take a look for you’ll never see
Inside my realm of mass insanity
I feed off fear inside a world that’s wrong
Take my hand now
Won’t you come along

Pure Psychosis in this madhouse
Which I call my home
Degradation in its purest form
You’re not alone

You must be blind

Another trip inside the acid bath
No salvation and the grave is coming fast
Synthetic dreams are my drug of choice
Embrace confusion all is gone and lost

Death March

Where have we gone
what have we done
where have we gone
nowhere left to run

pray for war

pray for hate
pray for all that you know
all these years ain't nothing's changed
and you know and you know yeah

spiral of darkness
as the fools await
peace through destruction
has sealed our fate

pray for war
pray for death
pray for hate
pray for all that you know
all these years ain't nothing's changed
and you know, and you know, yeah

pray for war
pray for death
pray for hate
pray for all that you know
all these years ain't nothing's changed
and you know, and you know, yeah

Too Tough To Die

Take through this darkness
Carry me through this world
Insane and lost confusion
forever always pushing for more

Hold me once again

Oh, you can't cry
Oh, when you're too tough to die

Forever high,

Forever high,

Been A Long Time

The death, the lies
in lies, the truth
all that it is
what was ain't true

i was down but now i can see
the pain, the hurt, the misery

oh lord it's been a long time
doing my best, i'll try and get it next time
oh lord it's been a long time
doing my best, i'll try and get it next time

this cross you bear
i've come to carry for you
this cross you bear
i've come to break it in two

i was down but now i can see
the pain, the hurt, the misery

Oh lord, it's been a long time
doing my best, i'll try and get it next time
Oh lord, it's been a long time
doing my best, i'll try and get it next time

Dirt On The Grave

Ashes fly, ashes burn
The sun is black, ain't no return
Ashes fly, ashes burn
Over and over, ain't no need to learn

It's all dust on dust
It's all you and me
Outdone, completely outplayed
Just shovel some more dirt on the grave

The choices you made
And the choices that are
With heaven so close and heaven so far
Ashes fly, ashes burn
Over and over, ain't no need to learn

It's all dust on dust
It's all you and me
Outdone, completely outplayed
Just shovel some more dirt on the grave

It's all dust on dust
It's all you and me
Outdone, completely outplayed
Just shovel some more dirt on the grave

I Never Dreamed

My daddy told me always be strong son
Don't you ever cry
You find the pretty girls and then you love them
Then you say goodbye
I never dreamed that you would leave me
But now you're gone
I never dreamed that I would miss you
Woman won't you come back home

I never dreamed that you could hurt me
And leave me blue
I've had a thousand, maybe more
But never one like you
I never dreamed I could feel so empty
But now I'm down
I never dreamed that I would beg you
Woman I need you now

It seems to me I took your love for granted
It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong
Oh Lord now I feel so lonely
I say woman won't you come back home

I tried to do what my daddy taught me
But I think he knew
Someday that I would find one woman like you
I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord
That two could be one
I never knew about sweet love
So woman won't you come back home
Oh baby won't you come back home
