Lights Out

Wherever you go, death follows In the shadow of your step Waiting lurking like a vulture Watching every move See him feeding on the souls Your armies will kill next Of those who walk among us Your evil won't be matched With the proper lies The public folds It's all out war The unholy alliance God and money seals the pact Old friends turn into enemies When greed has set your path Children dying, mothers screaming The story is the same Wherever you point your finger All survivors curse your name Pain and constant suffering comes from their kind They always try to rule us Letting fear control our minds Shipping boys to slaughter But you're sparing your own sons Their families are shattered While you cash your checks of blood An industry of murder Scratching the right backs Watch out for their bombs Here comes a new attack Just like the ones before you The eagle is your mark In history lies the future Your empire will fall

How low, how long? Lower than the sea Too long to go Too far to even try to reach And don't you even try to let it go While everything around me is breaking down so slow Where will you go When we all fade away? Where is your silver touch Above the sun next to us? So when you walk outside to see the reasons fall Do not forget the light that doesn't make you crawl So I just stay at home, oh, just the saddest news There is no side to choose And the numbers grow and push you down so low Don't ever let it loose Don't ever let it loose Oh, wasn't it a long way down They leave us behind So stay where you are Don't come around no more But it has gone too far I've been asking for you No, I won't see you call The way the others do If these are your prayers I won't follow you through When the flame turns blue Not even you will lead us through That's why I never go If you see me, I move slow My head runs off I spread the bad news where I go You'll see the ones that lost their minds into their hole Like all your loved ones played the best part of their role I can't help you now When you ask me how I see the trouble in your way If you're out of time You just stay in line Don't ever let it loose Don't ever let it loose Oh, wasn't it a long way down They leave us behind So stay where you are Don't come around no more But it has gone too far I've been asking for you No, I won't see you call The way the others do If these are your prayers I won't follow you through When the flame turns blue Not even you will lead us through Don't ever let it loose Don't ever let it loose Oh, wasn't it a long way down Long way down Not even you will lead us through When the flame turns blue

From the seeds and the growth That you've already got For the ones you choose to thrill And the ones that you forgot And the others that you already sold Do you somehow see it coming close? When the numbers in your head Get punished whenever you get fed You better turn away Let it get you at the end of this day You are no less than the past And the stories that they never told And the test to be a part of the fun So they made you lose an open eye I got a troubled mind but I believe in what I think is true All, all this time Breaking through the lines All, all for one The spiral brings you down Cause every reason's already gone And sometimes it's hard to play along It was a dream to begin but they'll kill it every way they can So if you see another way don't pretend, just hide in the herd That's their love for their gods that they show Tell me, is this why I feel so old? Well this is what it's like when your soul is growing hard and cold You better turn you head Let it show in the end of your thread All, all this time Breaking through the lines All, all for one The spiral brings you down All, all this time Breaking through the lines All, all for one The spiral brings you down

Standing at the base of the pyramid But it's never gonna meet the eye You're not supposed to know that it exists When nothing's there, there's nothing to deny If you leave your place in the foundation See the castle made of sand Watch it fall into the sea and wither away A new dawn's here, are you feeling okay? The suits, the law and the uniforms Bringing greed, borders and patrols Time is what you got So do you know who is getting yours? When they say it's cheap they're just hiding costs Here comes the swine dressed in diamonds and pearls The suits, the law and the uniforms Bringing greed, borders and patrols You know that life was meant for so much more than this More than wages, profit and control Oh, I don't want your job No, I won't live your lie No, I won't live your lie So I won't kneel for you No, I ain't gonna bow No, I ain't gonna bow I see ourselves and I don't understand What it is that makes a man? When I hear them say they love to own I hear a sister with broken bones If we can make it through their new deal The world will come a-tumbling down It's the suits, the law and the uniforms Bring greed, borders and patrols You know that life was meant for so much more than this More than wages, profit and control Oh, I don't want your job No, I won't live your lie No, I won't live your lie I won't kneel for you No, I ain't gonna bow No, I ain't gonna bow It's the suits, the law and the uniforms Bring greed, borders and patrols You know that life was meant for so much more than this More than wages, profit and control It's the suits, the law and the uniforms Bring greed, borders and patrols You know that life was meant for so much more than this More than wages, profit and control No, I won't live your lie No, I ain't, I ain't gonna bow

I see you right through the charade Now I’m going back again Giving in for all that’s bad Seems to me it’s all I’ve got I was born to endless night All my trying is in vain Some people think that I am mad Because I’ve thrown away all that I had I don’t fool no one else So many tries have gone to hell I was born to endless night All my trying is in vain Some people think that I am mad Because I’ve thrown away all that I had One last try before things fail With my luck I’ll end up in jail I’m going to war, to war with myself Putting my head, my head on a shelf I’m losing all battles all over again I’m going to war, to war with myself I was born to endless night All my trying is in vain Some people think that I am mad Because I’ve thrown away all that I had

Darling, I’m leaving now But it’s only for a while It won’t seem that long Once I’m back into your arms Each night I’ll go to bed Wishing I was at home Next to you I know you wonder what I do when I’m gone ‘Cause honey I know what you have heard And I know what people say And sure I’ve tasted fruit of many kind Once I got a piece of you There was no need for nothing else No one else Stay with me and see what tomorrow brings ‘Cause baby I know there’s days I let you down But we’ll make it through Through these hard times Ooh, baby, you And me Are the same Slightly used And damaged That’s okay I even think It’s good No matter what They say ‘Cause it got you here Today Right here with me It was something in your eyes That made it clear I knew that it was right Not a shadow of a doubt When I felt your touch I know there’s days I let you down But we're gonna get through these hard times See what tomorrow brings Please love me and stay with me forever The pieces came together The pointless random people Have felt my last caress No more faces passing by I know there’s days I let you down But we're gonna get through these hard times See what tomorrow brings Please love me and stay with me forever I got no need for no one else No one else Once I got a piece of you There was no need for nothing else No one else

I remember when it hit me Couldn’t see a way back The power and the fury The pleasure and the thrill What did you expect When it all began? What did you think Your music was to bring? Feel like I lived a thousand years And not a life at all The time I spent waiting Is a lifetime in itself Guess how many fools Now call you a friend? I hope that you know That you are one of them? Why did you think that you can have it all for free? Could you see the hours that you would spend? Did you think that it would be an easy ride? Can’t you see that you’re the fool in the end? You’re the fool in the end It’s been there, all my life It ain't something I choose I know that I was born With the restless blues Sometimes you should leave But you can't let it be It’s been there, all my life It ain't something I choose I've got the restless blues I've got the restless blues Why did you think that you can have it all for free? Could you see the hours that you would spend? Did you think that it would be an easy ride? Can’t you see that you’re the fool in the end? Why did you think that you can have it all for free? Could you see the hours that you would spend? Did you think that it would be an easy ride? Can’t you see that you’re the fool in the end? You're the fool in the end You're the fool in the end You know you're one of them You're the fool in the end

Shaking, aching, faking Tryin’ to be honest Admitting to myself I got nobody left to call a friend I wanna drink again Wining, dining, crying, lying, denying Pouring up the comfort Holding back my tears, I never felt like one of them I wanna drink again Ain’t no light in my tunnel But the gold tooth in the devil’s smile I walked the wide road a thousand times It never led me anywhere Ain’t no light in my tunnel But the gold tooth in the devil’s smile I walked the wide road a thousand times It never led me anywhere Boozing, bragging, losing, slipping, sliding I know that I am dying No use to pretend I see the reaper coming 'round the bend I wanna drink again Wheeling, dealing, stealing, cheating, beating Burning all my bridges I ain’t got no pride These trembling hands got nothing to defend I wanna drink again I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar It’s coming through the wind The bottle keeps on sliding Weeping out my blues I'm praying it will end Ain’t no light in my tunnel But the gold tooth in the devil’s smile I walked the wide road a thousand times It never led me anywhere I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar It’s coming through the wind The bottle keeps on sliding Weeping out my blues I'm praying it will end
