I prey upon your morbid fear Of terminal disease You won't know the difference Now it's time for surgery Another shot, another pill Two weeks therapy I take all major credit cards Your money is what I need [Chorus]: I'm a healer I will keep you all alive I'm a healer A villain at your bedside Take this and you'll be fine Severely educated Just pay your bill on time I think it's time for another test I need more of your blood Sign this affidavit So my insurance won't go up [Chorus] I'm a healer I will keep you all alive I'm a healer Research and development Spend millions every year You sickly and decrepit ones Keep my yacht safe on the pier You're dying on a stretcher We'll try to save your life If you can't afford my service I will let you die I'm trusted and respected Says my diploma on the wall Before I will do anything I'll give your bank a call [Chorus] I'm a healer I will keep you all alive I'm a healer I'm a healer I'm a healer Fake Healer

Integrity of construction The best money can buy Her size is greater than any A Belfast shipyard's pride Signal flags spelled out the word "Success" On her maneuvering trials Preservers and lifeboats were not in excess Unsinkable, no plans to save lives Athinai reports icebergs and field ice At seven bells ahead just five miles A black hulk against the night's darkness Disaster along starboard side Full speed astern were the orders It would do them no good No apparent collision A rip deep below the waterline Come at once, we have struck a berg Interference in transmission The newest, largest ship afloat Had two hours to live Lower all lifeboats, we have too few! Women and children first! Distress rockets fill the air Abandon Ship!" Sinking faster, every light ablaze Machinery, engines, crashing to the bow Arching vertical, stern points to the sky The great ship fractured Everyone must die Watching their families make it to safety Fifteen hundred went down The orchestra played to the last moment An eerie almost unreal sound The calm and icy North Atlantic Titanic's burial ground

A man exists alone Hidden by a shell Touched in such a wicked way No one could ever tell Is what he sees for real? Or only in his mind? The staring of the old man's eyes Chills him deep inside It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind He plots the awful deed He knows it must be done Precision of a madman's mind His goal is only one Is what he sees for real? The evil eye, the sun His pain and fear must lay to rest Piece by piece it's done It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind Twisting and tortured scars on my brain No one can touch me in here Trapped, fighting, driven to kill Forced to live with my fear When will it end? What can I do? Who will believe? Why is this fear haunting me? The end is the cure, the only way out To numb the source of my pain Death to life is insanity the anger is growing again When will it end? What can I do? Who will believe? Why is this fear haunting me? When will it end? What can I do? Who will believe? Why is this fear haunting me? How can he stand to bear the pounding of his heart? Something really must be done before he's torn apart Is what he hears for real, the heartbeat in his head I hear the pounding of his heart, but I know the man is dead It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind It is the eye That will destroy him Stuck in the mind It is the eye That will destroy me Stuck in my mind Stuck in my mind

Starved for destination, a beggar man by trade A desperate man needs more than someone else to blame Friendless he appears, he hides behind his tears For things he's lost, or things he'll never have at all The forgotten man wanders misplaced in the world Obscurity is all the eye can see, and I recall All alone again As we pass on by and continue with our day Can we appraise the quality of life some other way? All alone again When you take a longer look at someone on the run You may see reflections of yourself becoming one Take an extra moment when you find yourself at peace To think about your values and your own affluency Everything you've worked for and everything you've done May be thrown by the wayside, and you're not the only one Everything around you may seem worn and overused But imagine yourself removed from all that you're used to All alone again Once an influential man, once was in his prime He spends his days repeating lines like "can you spare a dime?" Shunned by those who loved you and by those who were your friends Can you adjust to a different life of living on the edge? The destitute find meaning in a different way of life The doorways that they dwell in are shelter in the night No shining crystal possessions set out for his display His purpose is to find the food to get him through the day All alone again Roaming aimless through the streets of supply and demand Once a gypsy disconnected, no more, no future plans Self discarded king of ruin, worthless to the world Fight to keep his sanity, his voice is never heard You may think he's thoughtless and his mind gone astray He always seems to find a reason get him through the day All alone again He staggers down the alley to drink his spirits by himself As he prays to God that he wakes up somewhere else

I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross Will take another life, we'll take another loss I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes The artic cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies God in heaven, my only friend Will I live to see my journey's end? As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed I make a promise to myself: Never again A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way No more paradise, no more soothing rain All the sacrifice, the pain is all the same Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies Will these lonely nights ever end? Will I live to see my journey's end? As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed I make a promise to myself: Never again A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky, Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won? Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed I make a promise to myself: Never again A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way

Rituals are carried out for reasons quite unknown The fact remains you have no mind to call your own Condoned by a bible I have written for myself No duplicates, there's only one inside my shelf [Chorus]: The spell can't be broken You all have been chosen You're dying for me Demoralized servant to my every need A system of tyranny rages uncontrolled One day soon you'll find it now controls your soul Nothing's changed for many years, your dreams are run with rats They won't hesitate to rip the shirt off your back [Chorus] The spell can't be broken You all have been chosen You're dying for me Demoralized servant to my every need What will you do when your future unfolds? Life as you've known it, you'll be much too old Days of your youth were all spent in defense Memories are painful, the thoughts you resent I know I was meant for much better things No time to sleep, so I've lost all my dreams Look forward to nothing, look back at the same I'll spend my life here and deal with the pain The choice has been made, you all will be slaves Unreasonable power I mock at the suffering and grow strong by the hour Hatred grows among the ones destined to be slaves But only life itself can lead you to your grave Lost in thoughts of what you're told to do for someone else I don't think you're superior, you're making my life hell [Chorus] The spell can't be broken You all have been chosen You're dying for me Demoralized servant to my every need

This track is instrumental.
On the pedestal you stand of promises to keep I can make the changes and keep you off the streets I will never let you down, together we can win All I need is your support, the funds keep flowing in I am the one who will make all the difference I am the one who cannot tell a lie My opposition tells you that I am the bad guy But I have done some research in his private life I feel that it's my duty to let the people know I know it's no one's business, I destroy to get a vote I am the one who will make all the difference I am the one who cannot tell a lie Raise those banners, raise those flags Raise your wages, raise your hands No more war, all at peace I have the solution to all the nation's needs Hail to government, hail to liberty Hail to God above, hail to me No more war, all at peace I am the solution to what this nation needs My missile proposition is effective as can be No trades for arms for hostages, no Star Wars shit for me I'm an average person, blue collar all the way Everyone will have a job, just cast your vote my way

It's more than understanding, to realize just what it means Interpretations, different meanings, can be drawn out of anything It all makes sense now, I see it clear The picture comes together, and I have lost the fear Your heart is the key The powers that be Are handed to me There is no suit of armor to protect you from the dark Just let your guard down, and the sword will hit the mark The words get twisted, you hear the lies Just take a look around you, and pray they realize Your heart is the key The powers that be My sanctuary It's not what you wear, it's what's in your mind It's not worth the emptiness inside I have left all blackness behind No more questions about black and white A gift of free will, the choice is all up to you Just let your faith rule, and you will know what to do The cults grow stronger, I'll stay away I'm looking at tomorrow, now I know the way Your heart is the key The powers that be Are handed to me The powers that be My sanctuary The powers that be
