Black Lotus

I live my life by simple rules Try to separate all the dirt from gold Learned to tell whose friend or foe, when to rise above you know Times change so I've realized There's scum out there of a different kind You've got to know how to sort them out, gonna teach you how First: they're worms, like ghosts they walk the earth Don't ever show sympathy for they won't show it to you Remember: they feast, they thrive on prejudice and lies Never on their own, never all alone So take this advice Keep your enemies close - fire in the hole And out came the wolves Fire! (Burn in every lair!) Let fire (fill the air!) Keep your enemies close - always keep them close And out came the wolves Fire! (Torching every creep) Why fire? ('Cause fire's fucking cheap!) In new shapes - subtle forms Still the same shit 'bout pride and war The black caps back in '45 now replaced by suits and ties Ignorance is bliss they say And history tends to repeat its way You got to know how to lure them out, I'll show you how First: they're worms, like ghosts they walk the earth Don't ever show sympathy for they won't show it to you Remember: they feast, they thrive on prejudice and lies Never on their own, never all alone So take this advice Keep your enemies close - fire in the hole And out came the wolves Fire! (Burn in every lair!) Let fire (fill the air!) Keep your enemies close - always keep them close And out came the wolves Fire! (Torching every creep) Why fire? ('Cause fire's fucking cheap!)

Hear me out Most of my time I've spent thinking about Like who I am what I'm supposed to be I've tried it all: school and dead end jobs But now I know that there's a higher purpose for me I will rule this whole universe Assemble my own terror regime I'll ban all laws and commercial T.V. Start to sound pretty cool now you better well goddamn agree Kill the king Long live my tyranny I'll give you anarchy, for all I give you anarchy So kill the king and let the revolution sing All shall obey or die and hail my chaos royale Gonna build a giant killing machine No one will dare to stand up or oppose Enslave the earth with an iron fist Now the whole world is my personal bitch I'll put an end to all music that sucks According to my flawless taste No hipster shit, radio rock, bubblegum DJ pop Heavy metal all of the way, make no fucking mistake Thou shalt have no other 'fore me Or you won't live to regret! There's a choice of complete submission or certain death! Kill the king and long live my tyranny I'll give you anarchy, for all I give you anarchy Kill the king and let the revolution sing All shall obey or die Have no fear cause I will end democracy I know what you need so no one dare to question me Kill the king and let the new era begin All shall submit or die and hail to the chaos royale And thou shall have no other 'fore me 'Cause all the others are dead! There's a choice of complete submission Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth - ye shall serve me till death Kill the king Long live my tyranny I'll give you anarchy, for all I give you anarchy Kill the king and let the revolution sing All shall obey or die Have no fear 'cause I will end democracy I know what you need so no one dare to question me Kill the king and let the new era begin All shall submit or die Hail chaos royale!

Welcome in to my world of darkness Come on down watch the angels cry Here I dwell in all grief and sadness Hell is where my heart resides Deep water rising, tidal waves unleashed The roaring thunders here to chase away the summer breeze There's no tomorrow, no innocence no more Sign off with a syringe kiss - Au revoir Chemicals they speak inside my head The day that I met you, you brought me death No regret - sticks and stones So long - I'm coming home I'm coming home Welcome in to my world of darkness Come on down watch the angels cry Here I dwell in all grief and sadness Hell is where my heart resides Where my heart resides Down on the highway, wrong side of the road The good lord took his only child and Hell knows he'll be joining soon "There's no tomorrow" he screamed inside the car Took his foot from the brakes Au revoir - Un deux tuez moi The imagery is stuck inside my head The day you left me here you left me dead Brace for impact - here I go Hey son - I'm coming home I'm coming home Welcome in to my world of darkness Come on down watch the angels cry Here I dwell in all grief and sadness Hell is where my heart resides Where my heart resides And I can see it in your eyes What once was there has come to die This is it - say no more Walk with me - I'll take you home I'll take you home Welcome in to my world of darkness Come on down and watch the angels cry Here there's room for all grief and sadness Hell is where my heart resides Au revoir

In the witching hour Comes a rider in black - cold through and through Enslaves by desire Just like a drug, she's consuming you slow You can't love like you used to before And you can't find trust in nothing else anymore Those pale lips, the bourbon-soaked kiss She's the den of your sins - the slit of a wrist "I was forged by fire - a daughter of the canyon lands" "Hell's spawn of liars - raised by the dead in the sun-scorched desert sand" Heed the killer of hearts Face the angel in black where the desert starts Hear her ravenous tune A call to the wild in the white light of the moon Spawned out of the dark Under blood-red skies below falling stars Fall onto your knees Surrender your soul to the crimson desert queen Time stops - turns to reverse A thousand years passed, haven't you heard? When a red moon rises over barren terrains The black-backed jackal howls; calling her name "For I am the sinister savior - commander in his Lucifer's reign" "The new world creator - here to see to, blood will fall like rain" Heed the killer of hearts Face the angel in black where the desert starts Hear her ravenous tune A call to the wild in the white light of the moon Spawned out of the dark Under blood-red skies below falling stars Fall onto to your knees Surrender your soul to the crimson desert queen In the dead of the night Under blood-red skies Fall to your knees Before the crimson desert queen Heed the killer of hearts

I don't want your number I don't want your love I don't feel what you feel I don't need politics Promises don't equal shit I don't share your beliefs And you Don't speak to me about religion and faith Your God ain't mine, I never asked to be saved It's nothing personal, I hate it all; the fake concerns and vanity Your superficial cause Stay the fuck away from me Out of sight and mind It's all I ever asked of thee Now we're way beyond a shadow of a doubt So just count me out I don't get your passion Flash cash and shallow fashion Can't relate to them needs I don't expect support Of any kind or any sort I can fend for myself in this hell For I How could I rely on authority? Whatever you do you've done nothing for me It ain't personal, I hate you all When everything's said and done, it's all I got You better stay the fuck away from me Out of sight and mind It's all I ever asked of thee Now we're way beyond a shadow of a doubt So just count me out

Deliver me your darkest hour And let me tell you this; laughter don't deform this face no more Nothing left here worth to savor You know it'd come to this, the time to leave you with Scars from the past dear mother Hope it hurts you to know I came out stronger No headstone or cross, no prayers no god A shallow grave is all there be to your memory Make no mistake; I'll be better off this way You never brought this bastard down My will be done Say again but don't come closer Silence when you speak to me! Seasons pass and I've grown colder Tables turn and cards play out, ain't it ironic how How life came about dear mother In the end it's just you, it's you who'll suffer No headstone or cross, no prayers no god A shallow grave is all there be to your memory Make no mistake; I'll be better off this way You never brought this bastard down My will be done No pity or shame, forgiveness nor blame Just history fading away Spare me the lies, all the tears and your trials Stones lay as thrown just like you would know No headstone or cross, no prayers no god A shallow grave is all there be to your memory Make no mistake; I'll be better off this way You never brought this bastard down No pity and scars in my body and heart No monument or sympathy to your memory Make no mistake; I'm well off and on my way You never brought this bastard down My will be done

Can you walk through fire and don't get burned? Can you do hard time and don't get turned? Could the sun out there wash your blues away? Can you wear those chains for one more day? Can you live in this world and keep the jinx away? Hate in your bones, blood on your hands Now you used to be such a righteous man It's like the more that you try the faster you sink And it's hard to smile when you never win, when you never win Shakin' the jinx If I'd say sorry would it make amends? Or would it come right back to my face again? You said that I failed to plan but did I plan to fail? Doesn't really matter anyways Because I'm cursed that way, cursed I'd say Such a long way down And I know that it will always be there to make sure that I'll fall to the ground Shakin' the jinx Can you walk through fire and don't get burned? Can you do hard time and don't get turned? Could you wear these chains for just one day? If I say I'm sorry would it make amends? Would you throw it back in my face again? Never failed to plan but did I plan to fail It wouldn't even matter anyways 'cause I'm cursed this way Such a long way down And I know you will always be there to make sure that I'll fall to the ground Still shakin' the jinx

Hear it echo in the streets Roaring from the underground An unrelenting violent sound Thirteen demons on a leash Monitor the movement growth Underneath and up above Can you see it now? Can you feel it now? Scratching through your skull and bones, unto the heart and soul We're everywhere and all around, in the air can't hold it down Whispers in the wind and screaming out from deep within Forever and always at your side Never to betray, deceit or lie From this day forward are you with me now? Rise to reclaim, Brothers This is a call to arms Stand! Align by my side, Sisters Wherever you are for whatever may come Ruled by none Outlaws 'n' sons, daughters alike All the restless souls, rebel minds Misfit kids and wretched ones We're everywhere, high and low to never change our hearts for show Fuelled by rage, defiance flowing through our veins Forever and always at your side Never to betray, deceit or lie From this day forward are you with me now? Rise to reclaim, Brothers This is a call to arms Stand! Align by my side, Sisters Wherever you are for whatever may come Ruled by none

Turn it up, gimme volume or blood Make that bass sound pound through the walls This is what we do where there's nothing to do In the country of rain and snow Crank it up gimme volume and blood, c'mon baby shake that ass Hit it all again 'cause we never grow old This is what we do up in the cold This is what we do where we come from How we do it where we call home Take a ride on the hellway to high Where the moon shines bright and tears don't dry Pay a visit to where silence is gold Here no one ever speaks unless spoken to Sail north - Scandinavian bound Sail north - to where only weekends count Rev it up hun, give it some gas And push the pedal right down through the floor This is what we do when the weekend get slow This is how we roll Rev it up, give it gas - gotta make that engine roar Hit it again 'cause it never gets old This is how we roll up in the north This is what we do it where we come from How we do it where we call home Take a ride on the hellway to high Where the moon shines bright and tears don't dry Pay a visit to where silence is gold Here no one ever speaks unless spoken to Sail north - Scandinavian bound Sail north - to where only weekends count
