Persistence of Time
I got so much trouble on my mind Paranoia time I'm running out of life Clockwise and the seconds tick away Each line that cuts my face Cut as each hand moves into place Paranoia Amped and wired Bile black the thoughts that run my head There's so much to be said They're so much living dead Walking corpses shambling through life With nothing in their sight Dance on their bones, step in and fight Paranoia Amped and wired Life and death are fighting for my time I can't seem to find the time I want what's mine Time through the clock just keeps talking It just walks any damn place It feels like walkin' My mind keeps thinking Clockwise as the seconds tick away I make my move today Time and life Life and time To have and hold And sometimes find It isn't mine, it isn't yours Man to man I'll fight you for Time and life Life and time One day I'll get what's mine Through the persistence of time Life and death as words they don't mean shit It's what you do with it And how you live with it Raging like a bull inside a cage Just give me a stage Where this bull can rage Paranoia's got no hold on me, Time don't have nothing To do with how high you can, Time don't got nothing To do with how high you can count

What do you do when something dies A life together has ended, your living a lie When did this act become reality? Hello conscience, do I laugh or do I cry Nothing's ever perfect This is just a test Imagine, imagine saying what can be said Imagine, imagine each word a bullet 'til you're dead Imagine, imagine killing something you love Imagine, just think about living inside Blood on your hands, blood in my eyes Blood I can't keep, blood circumscribes Blood on your hands turns into blood in my eyes And with the blood I can't keep Our lives, blood circumscribes Brother on, brother on, brother on, brothers in blood A wave of hatred comes like the flood Brother on brother on, Brothers in blood Hate is so much easier to feel than love Brother on brother on, Brothers in blood Misery can be so attractive When making yourself happy is the only alternative At the expense of someone else's life Do it for yourself, damn it, do what's right! Imagine, think about living your life Imagine, think about being stabbed with a dull knife Imagine, think how sane you'll be when it's through Imagine, think real hard then do what ya gotta do

It's a long time, a long time comin' You tell me how you think I should be It's so easy You tell me what people want from me Well I'll just be myself It's the only way I can be, but you don't see You accuse, abuse integrity You don't know one damn thing about me Not one damn thing Build me up and then you tear me down Curse my name when I'm not around You're so hard until the truth is found What goes round always comes around And it's a Long time, long time A long time comin' A long time, long time A long time comin', a vicious circle In your face I'll come runnin' Try and stop me A long time, much too long And I'm comin' Try and stop me I like to keep my friends around me close But my enemies closer Friends accept me for just who I am Not someone I'm supposed to be Or something they expect for free Do you know me? I live with myself, I know my place Wipe that bullshit smile off your face The show is over You and me are gonna take a walk I think it's time we had a little talk I said, you and me are gonna take a walk And we're gonna do more than walk and talk Let me see how you think I should be You think it's so easy? Put yourself on trial everyday Against a hung jury You don't know a thing about me You believe the hype you see But in my heart God knows I'll be true To what my life will bring

You walk this earth without a heart You tear the innocent's souls apart You shovel your conscience into the grave You walk this earth without a heart Your uniform couldn't be taken off A tattoo burned into your flesh Your mind, your voice These are your instruments of death How could you dare to be so bold You only did as you were told Marionettes dancing in time To the apologetic lines For all the monsters of our time Who is evil, who is blind? In the name of who you'll find, A city of souls dying for peace Welcome to the belly of the beast One mind, one voice Welcome to the belly of the beast Who hears, your voice? Millions, never, never again Madness, never, never again Martyrs, dead that can't die Monsters Insanity, the normal state The left hand a hammer, the right the stake Driven so deep into the heart It's killing love, it's killing faith It's killing 'cause it's from the heart What better way to demoralize When your own children are your spies The things you trust are not the same Trust in grief, trust in death Trust in hope is trust in pain Who is evil, who is blind? In the name of who you'll find, You're not supposed to question faith But how do you accept this fate? Millions, you walk this earth without a heart Madness, tear the innocent's souls apart Martyrs, shovel your conscience into the grave Monsters

The enemy is dead I can't believe what I said The enemy is dead Did it only exist in our head? Sheltered from the evils of the world until the truth is seen Sheltered from realities of life, your human rights are free Freedom, taken for granted 'cause we don't know what oppression means Freedom, taken for granted by the leaders who would crush the dream A crack, exposing human rights Light against the granite sky A crack, exposing human life A fire burns For the freedom, for the freedom, for the freedom Never given but taken For the freedom Die for the reason One man stands Hard as he waits for freedom's hand A unified voice for freedom of choice One man stands for Life, He'll give his Would you give yours to fight for a cause One man stands And the wall, cracks, and the wall, cracks, And the wall, cracks, and the walls come crumbling Down with old ideals that could never work in modern times Free choice, religious freedom, basic rights are on the bottom line Down with all the icons of the past cold war and detente The flock no longer fears the wolf, the flock is taking what it wants One man stands for life - I never questioned One life costs us all - they love their children Everyman stands and fights - who is my enemy? One man's rule will fall - one man stands

I wait, I hate Silence kills you like a loaded gun My time, you waste Resolution turn your back and run Drunk with power Your ivory tower Never stood, never could And around and around You hit the ground Reservation hellbound Most people cry When a person dies You wanna know why? Run it through, Discharge! Most people cry Not when you die You wanna know why? Nobody cried You lived a lie You lived a lie! Your life, what life? What's the difference between you and death? Overdose, comatose You won't even leave a corpse that's fresh Drunk with power Go take a shower I wish you would, I wish you could And around and around You hit the ground Reservation hellbound A surreal vision Of a human being Self inflicted crucifixion Suicidal contradiction Clusterfucked you load it up Clusterfucked you self destruct Get off my dick, it's sick I refuse to feel sorry for you I can't, believe People put you on a pedestal Drunk with power Your ivory tower Never stood, never could And around and around You hit the ground Reservation hellbound A surreal vision Of a human being
