MACHINE HEAD LYRICS

1. Enter The Phoenix

2. Desire To Fire

Fuck this place up
We turn desire to fire
Electric spark to the wire
Higher the stakes when we brought
This monster life
Prevail by daring to fail
Others content just to sail
Hail the future we bring

We bring chaos to blocks
Like riots to Watts
Blow up spots, taking the crown
Off the top notch
Create the pace
That you all will follow
Sporadic flow buckles up
Like a Calico
We D-O smoke sensmill-o
Vodka and C-O-K-E
Is the real deal
You're flubber, never had to suffer
Life's getting hard
And it's only get rougher

Save some for me
Can't stop what were going to be

Walk with me
And take this seed
A fire for you
So dare to fail
Will you?

Pen hits pad
It results in catastrophe
Words and verbs come
To form your disaster
You want it? You got it
Never hit I spot it
Now come and watch me rise

On the fools, I blew
More money than Latrell
You tell, I don't know you
Think I know you too well
You fell and stumbled
Laughing as you tumble
I guess you forgot
About the power we rock
'Cause "ALL HAIL THE"
Machine Head battery
The good, the bad, the ugly
Damaging capacity
Yeah you been fucked
Stuck in a rut
Your life has been sucked
Your tail has been tucked

Save some for me
Can't stop what were going to be
Just watch as as I demonstrate
The reason we dominate

Walk with me
And take this seed
A fire for you
So dare to fail
Will you?

If we stand alone
And believe in whole
And you tell me
It's all I believe in
Yes we stand alone
And believe in whole
If you tell me
It's all I believe in
Because we chew and spit you out
And pray upon the weaker
Take what we want
Chew and spit you out

Walk with me
And take this seed
A fire for you
So dare to fail
Will you?

3. Nothing Left

Withered away I see it
Every day complacence
Desecrates the fabric of lives
Emptiness fills inside me
Bitterness has denied me
Faith that this world
Could every really give a shit

When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away

I hear the things that you found
Might leave a face without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
This iron strength will never fall
Will never

Withered inside
This soul has petrified
As concrete fills the skies
This life in disarray
Consequence every action
Brings violence from the passions
Loneliness the emotion
Buried inside

When I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away

I hear the things that you found
Might leave a face without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
This iron strength will never fall
Will never

I feel around the falling sun
For so long I been away… away
For years to now been holdin' on
For so long I been away.. away

I have nothing left for nobody else
I got nothing left for nobody

Can I feel it
Come falling
I turn you away

I hear the things that you found
Might leave a face without a sound
Don't push my back against the wall
This iron strength will never fall

4. The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears

Oh yes I walk the path, that righteous
Many men have walked before
And this pain's held
A broken shell
Straight shackled onto the floor

So welcome to the world
That I lived in
Puking up bile and hate
My world entered
A false enclosure
Sickening broken state

But then I see
These things in me
That make me want it
More than you

Want to deny your flesh
'Cause pain's my wish
Get wasted on self destruct

So hold on to the end

It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years

Yes I walk the path
That gives me
Confidence strong and pure
Now I realize
That freedom rises
From confronting the source

I built these walls around me
And I can break them all away
And I'll focus all the strength
I call unstoppable energy

So hold on to the end

It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years

Hold on
I'm falling
I'm falling down again into

It's all about
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Attribute to the strength
Built through the years

I'll tell you 'cause
Time will sear the wound
Time will sear the wound
Time will sear the wound

5. Silver

Yes I hold some keys of gold
With cigarettes and silver bullets
Angels cry and devils lie
The world is our stage
Look inside and try and find
The part of me that's whole
I wish I knew
But I got threw behind

Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this, all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell in time

I see a mirror to me
The lines along my face are drawn in
I believe reflections bleed
The sorrows of our souls
Let me know the hurt that shows and wish it all away
'Cause now you'll see
Why the pain and me
Collide

Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this, all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell in time

I see the walls around me
Fall around me
And everything is alright
I see the god among me
Fall among me
And everything beside
I see those walls surround you
Tie and bound you
You'll drown 'cause you're so
Cold
Cold
Cold
Cold

Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this, all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell in time

6. From This Day

You gotta
Stand tall and cut away the ties
Drop walls and hold that head up high
The world is fast and youth ain't gonna wait
So grab a hold before it gets to late
Bare your soul and strip away the cold
Of withered life that's past so gray and old
'Cause all the pain that that's filled these eyes you see
Has only made them bleed just recently
Tears that made me
Ashamed to be me
But that gave me
Strength to see me
Made a spark that
Lit the dark and
Let me shine

Time to see, believe this in me
The pain that I feel deep inside

'Cause it's time we come together
Be on because I'm 'bout to now
So do it now or never
I fall sleep to freeways far from here
Spend half the night just drinking beer
"From this day" on shall be the words
My flesh and bones shall make it heard
Don't you test I'll, have to mess with you
Do my best so, fuck the rest of you
One of these days
You'll see I've always been right, right

Time to see, believe this in me
The pain that I feel deep inside

And it makes me glad
When I see the sun
And it makes me sad
When you feel my one
And I thank my god
Got a girl like you
And I think my god
Did you save me?

Time to see, believe this in me
The pain that I feel deep inside

7. Exhale The Vile

Can't match the stare within these eyes
Do you have the strength for all your lies
Can't stand the pain with which I seethe
This integrity is what I breathe
I inhale this life I gave to you
And exhale the vile

Time will tell
Because my friend and
Never will I concede the end
'Cause cataract resin fills my eyes
Never gonna see the man
Through your fake lies

Tell me the things
That'll take time
To help see the things
That'll take this
Burn inside of me

Can't feel the sting from words gone by
Can't keep the papers filled with lies
Ten fold, this confidence I breed
Created back the words I see
I'll inhale this gift I gave to you
And exhale desire

Kill this fire with gasoline
Convictions I spit, my faith obscene
Heretic Jackals worship liars
Forever I'll be the god that you desire

Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things that'll take this
And hold onto things that'll make my
To make me the thing that breaks this
Burn inside of me

Time will tell because my friend and
Never will I concede the end
Heretic Jackals worship liars
Forever I'll be the god that you desire

Tell me the things that'll take time
To help see the things that'll take this
And hold onto things that'll make my
To make me the thing that breaks this
Burn inside of me
Burn inside of me
Burn inside of me
Burn inside of me

8. Message In A Bottle

[The Police Cover]

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
There's no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my notes
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep us together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

9. Devil With The King's Card

I will see you rise and fall
I will be you rise and fall
I will make you rise and fall
I create your rise and fall
And I will be you

Come burn with me because I
Burn with conviction
From a pain you'll never ever understand, understand
Never forget what I said 'cause you ain't half of me
I'll tear down and break anything that stands in front of me
I'm taking down what the fuck is ever in my way
So get away

I will see you rise and fall
I will be you rise and fall
I will make you rise and fall
I create your rise and fall
And I will be your

Come burn for me, won't forgive, despise your actions
'Cause you never ever ever backed the words you said
That you said
Give into it and admit
That you're the one who quit
You said it yourself, I'm the best
And you can't handle it
So come watch how Machine Head takes it all, it all

And I feel for you
'Cause your eyes they whore
And I think I hurt
'Cause of something more
You see I'm falling
All apart
'Cause your eyes they
Despise your heart

Rise and fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
And I will make the walls fall
Down.. Down.. Fall down.. Fall down..

I will see you rise and fall
I will be you rise and fall
I will make you rise and fall
I create your rise and fall
And I will be your

10. I Defy

Be my one
Would you take my son?
Would you tell someone whether we had fun?
With your heroes, double zeroes
Runnin' in circles 'round your fear
And I'm never ever falling again
Would you take my grace
Look into my face
With your limp handshake
And your smile that's fake
Would you back my fight?
Say you're down for life?
Well it's easy to say, when you words don't mean nothing

Anger makes me long for a better way
You'll fear my strength if I'm backed into a cage

Because I,
I defy
I defy
I defy
I defy

See my fate
Underestimate
I intoxicate while you emulate
With the losers and the users
Suckin' up to the abusers
And I'm never ever fallin' again
For the tricks you play
Or the fronts you claim
And you just can't fade
The respect I made
You're a parasite
You conform on site
You're the link in the chain
That was weak and always will be

Anger makes me long for a better way
You'll fear my strength if I'm backed into a cage

Because I,
I defy
I defy
I defy
I defy

So bring me the poison

I'll give it away
I'll see
Why didn't you end the pain

I can't take this
I can't fake this
I will break this
I will make this

'Cause
I defy

11. Five

I remember, was the month October
In a garage, I was standing scared and somber
I could smell your breathing, and the pain your leaving
So ashamed, I'm feeling
And now I am left is to fate

For all the times I'd be losing my mind
You molested, destroyed, just a five year old boy
How you'd make me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
I was only...

I remember words that never left me
For a skull of silver here's what you'll do for me
If you tell, I'll kill you
Rip the child out from you
Wish that I could stop you
Please god make this go away

For all the times I'd be losing my mind
You molested, destroyed, just a five year old boy
How you'd make me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
Innocence was lost

And I feel it
I can't take it
I don't want it
Anymore

I was only five
And I feel it
Can't take it anymore

For all the times I'd be losing my goddamn mind
Made me swear that if I saw you,
I'd make you suffer, make you suffer
Motherfucker

For all the times I'd be losing my mind
You molested, destroyed, just a five year old boy
How you'd make me suffer, motherfucker
Ripped my heart out
...I was only five...
...Five...

12. The Burning Red

I see the sun begin to rise
And I'm blinded too
I've seen the world through jaded eyes
That I'm crying through
I watch the darkness hypnotize
And confided

Hold on I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
As an ocean has opened
These scars need to heal over

Caress the needle prick in my...
The tears fell like rain
I've rode the phoenix as she glides
And I've gone insane
I've seen the light of suicide
And I'm dying

Hold on, I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
As an ocean has opened
These scars need to heal over

Hold on I'm falling, can't breathe... breathe

Colder and colder
Just hold onto me
