1. Time To Burn

No I don’t know what to say, I just bleed it on the page
And let you motherfuckers scream it like I schemed it anyway
Straight from the heart I seethe like I’m a part
Of every breath you ever breathe as I weave this wicked art

Homicidal, kill your idols
Your heroes are whores and your only god is you
Fuck the title, it’s a brand new bible
A hymn for the condemned
Let me hear you burn

This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you sing halle-fuckin’-lujah
Now is the time, time to burn
Let me hear you sing it

Don’t believe the print, every word you read is shit
Yeah I’ve seen the second coming and it ain’t these pricks
Don’t get suckered in, yeah they’d sell their fucking skins
The lamb is the hand you hold and holds you down

Homicidal, kill your idols
Your heroes are whores and your only god is you
Fuck the title, it’s a brand new bible
A hymn for the condemned
Let me hear you burn

This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you sing halle-fuckin’-lujah
Now is the time, time to burn
Let me hear you sing it
(Lord have mercy)
This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you sing halle-fuckin’-lujah
Now is the time, time to burn
Let me hear you sing it

This is the time
This is the word

This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you say
This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you say halle-fuckin’-lujah

This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you sing halle-fuckin’-lujah
Now is the time, time to burn
Let me hear you sing it
(Lord have mercy)
This is the time, this is the word
Let me hear you sing halle-fuckin’-lujah
Now is the time, time to burn
Let me hear you sing it

Yeeow!

2. Like A Revolution

Rock is dead and gone, the same old song
Another sickening sing-along
The pop d’jour, a faceless whore
And I can’t take it anymore

More I see the more it makes me scream
And they take it away…and they take it away…and they take it away
No not from me, all that I wanna do is

Burn, can’t keep me quiet I’m a riot rippin’ through your head (through your head)
Burn, burn, burn
Go on and try it I’m a riot revving in the red
Like a revolution
Like a revolution

Can you feel the fangs sink so deep
While you pray your soul to keep
The last drop dries the blood-stained floor
And I can’t take it any more

More I see the more it makes me scream
And they take it away…and they take it away…and they take it away
No not from me, all that I wanna do is

Burn, can’t keep me quiet I’m a riot rippin’ through your head (through your head)
Burn, burn, burn
Go on and try it I’m a riot revving in the red
Like a revolution
Like a revolution
Like a revolution
Like a revolution

Burn, can’t keep me quiet I’m a riot rippin’ through your head (through your head)
Burn, burn, burn
Go on and try it I’m a riot revving in the red
Like a revolution (Riot, yeah, baby)
Like a revolution (Riot, yeah, baby)
Like a revolution (Riot, yeah, baby)
Like a revolution (Riot, yeah, baby)

3. Take Me Away

The black that bleeds the dreams she leaves
Are open veins that stain her sleeves
And now the lonely street’s her only friend tonight

But the lights are cold, the lies are old
And all she wants is to go home
She bites her lip and shuts her eyes
And sings herself a lullaby

Take me away
Hold on tight and kiss the night, there’s nothing left to say
Take me away
Open wide and whisper, I can almost hear her say

She loves the rush, she loves the thrill
She loves the hunt, she loves the kill
Deep inside she knows it’s her who dies each time

But the lights are cold, the lies are old
And all she wants is to go home
She bites her lip and shuts her eyes
And sings herself a lullaby

Take me away
Hold on tight and kiss the night, there’s nothing left to say
Take me away
Open wide and whisper, I can almost hear her say

Just take me home
Take me home

Wipe back the black to free the blue
Now honey it’s just me and you
And I’ll kill ‘em all if you ask me to
But all she says is…

Take me away
Hold on tight and kiss the night, there’s nothing left to say
Take me away
Open wide and whisper, I can almost hear her say

Just take me home
Take me home

4. So Loud

Quiet down, don’t you even make a sound
Mind your mouth and do just as you’re told
I love to stir up shit with every word I ever spit
That’s right if it’s too loud then you’re too fuckin’ old
Here we go

Turn it up, can you hear me?
Turn it up, or do you turn away?
Turn it up, you’ll never turn me down
And I can’t even hear you ‘cuz I’m

So loud, so here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now

All I need is the bass and the beat
And the bones beneath my skin
I’d sell my soul for rock ‘n’ roll
And let those lovin’ snake eyes send me home (send me home)

Turn it up, can you hear me?
Turn it up, or do you turn away?
Turn it up, you’ll never turn me down
And I can’t even hear you ‘cuz I’m

So loud, so here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now (here we go now)

Turn it up, can you hear me?
Turn it up, or do you turn away?
Turn it up, you’ll never turn me down
And I can’t even hear you ‘cuz I’m

So loud, so here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now (here we go now)
(So loud) So loud, so it’s a showdown
(So loud) So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now
(So loud) So loud, so it’s a showdown (So loud)
(So loud) So loud, so here we go now
So loud, till here we go now (here we go now)

5. Save Me

Shhhh, Hush now don't you scream
With what little breath that your lungs have left, now bleed just for me

Cause you should be
Just like me
Broken like I used to be
Now that you're gone there's nothing to save me

I can't believe I let you leave
Let you walk right out on me
I can't believe I let you leave me lonely
Who's gonna save me (now)

Smile so I can see
Your skin is so pale and your lips are so frail they bleed
Just for me

Cause you should be
Just like me
Broken like I used to be
Now that you're gone there's nothing to save me

I can't believe I let you leave
Let you walk right out on me
I can't believe I let you leave me lonely
Who's gonna save me (now)

I can't believe I let you leave
Let you walk right out on on me
I can't believe I let you leave me lonely
Who's gonna save me (now) [2x]

[Solo]

I can't believe I let you leave
Let you walk right out on on me
I can't believe I let you leave me lonely
Who's gonna save me (now?)

6. Close Your Eyes

Where do you go
When you turn away
How do I know
That you're hear to stay

Why do I believe
The promises you make
Because they sound so sincere
Even as they break

And you never felt so far, as when you're right beside of me
No farther then my fingertips, but further than can be
I close my eyes to close you out, you're all I can see
I never wanted more to be anyone else but me

So close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes
Won't you set me free
After all your lies
When you close your eyes
Do you, do you think of me

Where can I run from my memories
When I close my eyes, and you're staring back at me
Screaming in my sleep and writhing on the floor
Whispering "I can't love you anymore"

So close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes
Won't you set me free
After all your lies
When you close your eyes
Do you, do you think of me

[Solo]

Just in case you think I ever needed you
I wanted more for us, to try and see it through
Just one more glance and I'll be gone
Just one more chance to be
Just one more glance and I'll be gone
God help me

So close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes
Won't you set me free
After all your lies
When you close your lies
Do you think of me

So close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes
Won't you set me free

7. Godless

I am not a man of superstition but your body’s my religion
Any cost your world to worship as I press my palms to her lips
And I say, come…with me

As we plummet through the heavens
From the summit of our endless ecstasy
On your knees pray to me
Quiver like the thunder trembling
Taste my passion and surrender unto me
My god… what have I done?

What am I left with as I watch you go?
Without a prayer you leave me here so godless
Preach to me heresy
Oh and I’m electric, baby now that you’re gone
Without a prayer do you feel so godless?
Preach to me heresy

When all I need is to be needed
All you make me feel is needy
“I need some space,” need I go on?
I’d kill to be your hero
But I’ll die before I make myself your martyr
Here’s your part now push me harder

What am I left with as I watch you go?
Without a prayer you leave me here so godless
Preach to me heresy
Oh and I’m electric, baby now that you’re gone
Without a prayer do you feel so godless?
Preach to me heresy

Still you keep on killing me the same
A thorn by any other name

But we was always me and never really you and I
So I can see how easily you can let us die
And as you go you know I know you better than yourself
Through all the years and twice the tears
I’m just your empty shelf

What am I left with as I watch you go?
Without a prayer you leave me here so godless
Preach to me heresy
Oh and I’m electric, baby now that you’re gone
Without a prayer do you feel so godless?
Preach to me heresy

Godless just like me

8. Fight 'Em With Your Rock

I'm a renegade razor blade, ready like a hand grenade
Rippin through your radio dial
I got the gun smoke smother and there isn't any other
Motherfucker with a side so wild
Don't need the drink or the needle or the ink
All i need's a little fever scratch
I'm just a shot in the dark tryin' to kick a spark
Up in you're heart before you burn and crash

All the outlaws are outdated
And the cowboys have all been gunned down

And i don't know where the fire goes
All i know is that you, you gotta fight 'em with your rock

Takin' back the strip where the sun don't set
And the angels never come out to play
I'm a silver tounge with a poisen tip
And the licks to lay your city to waste
Rising from the slaughter so your mothers hide your daughters
'Cuz we love a litte runaway
So bang your head be shred or be dead
'Cuz were not gonna take it today
No, No, No way

All the outlaws are outdated
And the cowboys have all been gunned down

And i don't know where the fire goes
All i know is that you, you gotta fight 'em with your rock
I don't know where the fire goes
All i know is that you, you gotta fight 'em with your rock

(Burn this mother down) Let's Burn it down
(Come on say burn this fucker down) Oh burn it down
(Let's burn this mother down) Let's burn it
(Come on say) Burn this motherfucker to the fuckin' ground say

And i don't know where the fire goes
All i know is that you, you gotta fight 'em with your

Fight 'em with your (rock)
Said fight 'em with your (rock)
And fight 'em with your (rock)
And fight 'em with your (rock)
Fight 'em with your (rock)
Said fight 'em with your (rock)

And i don't know where the fire goes
All i know is that you, you gotta fight 'em with your rock
I don't know where the fire goes
All i know is that you, you gotta fight 'em with your rock

(Burn this mother down) Let's Burn it down
(Come on say burn this fucker down) Oh burn it down
(Let's burn this mother down) Let's burn it
(Come on say) Burn this motherfucker to the fuckin' ground say

9. Never Enough

The dangerous games that you play
You can't take away the words when you say
"I love you, you"

But I don't have a thing to live or to lose
And the light in your eyes sheds the lie that was you
Take my word but it don't mean much
And your making it worse with your touch

But I'm so lost inside of you
Cause I can't trust that this is true
Whoever's eyes I try my sight's still set on you
But I'm so scared to see this through
Because it's Never Enough

The Devious looks that you make
The promises stray
You push me away
I hate you

But I don't have a thing to live or to lose
And the light in your eyes sheds the lie that was you
Take my word but it don't mean much
And you're making it worse with your touch

But I'm so lost inside of you
Cause I can't trust that this is true
Whoever's eyes I try my sight's still set on you
But I'm so scared to see this through
Because it's Never Enough

10. Endlessly

Scream like I scream

I taste your lips on every kiss
Dig my fingertips into my mind
Why do you still hide, in every lie
Behind my eyes my eyes so blind

I want you to see
I want you to

Scream like I scream when I cry for you
Endlessly I bleed all my dreams just to die for you

I scrape my skin on every breath
Without and within I breathe your scent
I suffocate myself but I still drown in you

I want you to

Scream like I scream when I cry for you
Endlessly I bleed all my dreams just to die for you

I want you to

Scream like I scream when I cry for you, Endlessly
Undream all my dreams just do die for you

I want you to

11. The Chain

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
(Come to me)

Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love, damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark, damn the light

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain

Chain...keeps us together
(Run into the shadows)
Chain...keeps us together
(Run into the shadows)
Chain...keeps us together
(Run into the shadows)
