I’ve been called many names, even painted a traitor
Born just to be my father’s doom
A pawn to be used sooner or later
But already cursed inside the womb
How can I forgive the man
Who’d devise a plan
Meant to kill his own blood
Sending boys my age out on the sea
Hoping one of them was me
Just to be free
Now I’m branded
Stranded
Like an evil spirit lost in time
Branded
Left empty handed
But I’ll be back and claim what’s mine
He’s wrong to believe that he can defy me
’cause I won’t rest till justice is done
I’ve got a right that he can’t deny me
His incestuous rebel bastard son
Like a wolf outside the pack
Ready to attack
Only waiting for the right time
I’ll take the Crown by sheer surprise
Confront him with his lies
He’ll pay the price
Cause I’m branded...
That night I made him lose his innocence
His only heir begotten in ignorance
He should have traced me
Found me and raised me
But he chose to hate me instead
For what you did there is no remedy
You took his seed to make his enemy
He’ll never accept you
Befriend and protect you
No, he only wanted you dead!
Like a wolf outside the pack
Ready to attack
Only waiting for the right time
I’ll take the Crown by sheer surprise
Confront him with his lies
He’ll pay the price
So we’re branded
Stranded
Like an evil spirit lost in time
Branded
Left empty handed
But I’ll be back and claim what’s mine
We’re branded
Branded
(Anderson/Riley)
Did you know I was a danger, did you know I was a threat
I might even be a killer, but they ain't pushed me that far yet
I've been branded, branded
I wear the mark of the slave on my head
Branded, branded
I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck
Branded, branded
I bear the scars of the lash on my back
Branded, branded
I've had enough and now I'm gonna fight back
Gonna fight back
Did you know I was a rebel, yes I've always been one out
And though they tried so hard to kill me, you will always hear me shout
I've been branded, branded
I wear the mark of the slave on my head
Branded, branded
I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck
Branded, branded
I bear the scars of the lash on my back
Branded, branded
I've had enough and now I'm gonna fight back
Because I need to fight back
Yes...fight back
Did you know I was a danger, did you know I was a threat
I might even be a killer, but they ain't pushed me that far yet
Did you know I was a rebel, yes I've always been one out
And though they tried so hard to kill me, you will always hear me shout
'Cause I've been branded, branded
I wear the mark of the slave on my head
Branded, branded
I know the feeling of the yoke on my neck
Branded, branded
I bear the scars of the lash on my back
Branded, branded
I've had enough, I'm gonna fight back
I'm gonna fight back
Yes, 'cause they branded me
They hunted me, they ??? me
They hunted me like an animal
They branded me a slave
They invaded my home
They put a yoke around my neck
They made me work...they beat me
Like an animal
They made me, they made me want to kill
Just to be free
They beat me, they took away my freedom
They took away my dignity
They tried to destroy my soul by breakin' my heart
They tried to change what I believed
By breakin' my very will to live
Drove me, they hounded me
I was beaten, I was driven
I was thrown in jail for the things that I said
I got a million thoughts runnin' in my head
I got a million words, that my mouth has just got to say
I gotta speak out, I gotta speak out
I'm gonna reach out and touch your heart
Before they tear us...tear us apart
I gotta tell you about the lies
Outside
Locked outside
The mainstream territory marked
Empty
So empty
We draw the line
Piss ourselves
Branded [x4]
Caged in
You’re caged in
Decorate the bars outside your cell
Splinter
You splinter
Caught like flies in shit
You can’t rebel
Branded [x4]
Branded [x4]
Branded [x4]
The times are changing, see the boys in drag
No kisses in their wine (?)
We see the girl stand still when she learns to kill
Are we in the wrong time?
Why do we laugh a lot?
Why do we cry a lot?
At the things that people say
The boys will be girls
And girls will be boys
But it's a game that we can't play
'Cause we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
'Cause we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
We see the boys all run at the sight of a gun
The men lay down and die
We see the bitch with a butch in the city lights
Their mothers start to cry
Why do we scream at night?
Why do we dream at night?
Of the life we never saw
We got false illusion
And world confusion
But we are...what we are
And we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
And we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
Why do we scream at night?
Why do we dream at night?
Of the life we never saw
We got false illusion
And world confusion
But we are...what we are
And we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
'Cause we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
I hurt her hard, she hurts me harder
She loves me well, I love her more
She calls me up and I'm there waiting
All this is true
Chorus:
She's the wind that turns my head around
She's the sun that burns my face
She's the light that never goes out
Sometimes it burns too bright for me to take
And I'm branded by her
I'm young at heart but she is younger
I've been around but she's seen more
My touch is strong but hers is stronger
All this is true
Chorus
And then I'm branded by the pain and pleasure
Just like I'm branded by each memory of desire
Tonight she'll come and I will take her
But I know that it will still be me
That comes like sking to fire
I'm branded by her
The times are changing, see the boys in drag
No kisses in their wine (?)
We see the girl stand still when she learns to kill
Are we in the wrong time?
Why do we laugh a lot?
Why do we cry a lot?
At the things that people say
The boys will be girls
And girls will be boys
But it's a game that we can't play
'Cause we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
'Cause we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
We see the boys all run at the sight of a gun
The men lay down and die
We see the bitch with a butch in the city lights
Their mothers start to cry
Why do we scream at night?
Why do we dream at night?
Of the life we never saw
We got false illusion
And world confusion
But we are...what we are
And we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
And we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
Why do we scream at night?
Why do we dream at night?
Of the life we never saw
We got false illusion
And world confusion
But we are...what we are
And we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?
'Cause we are branded
We are branded
And by the cradle ?

There's nothing more to hide as I slip into oblivion once again.
No less than paranoid when I know, I know my numbers up for my sins.
Cut myself to stop the suffocation, all my dumb luck's dried up
No one knows of the humiliation, a prisoner held by guilt
Now I'm wearing it, wearing A
Would you fall to save my name at all?
Behind closed doors I'll be dead by dawn
Would you fall to save my name at all?
Self-contempt, hating myself
When I'm wearing it, wearing A
There's nothing more to hide as I strip myself of all my pride
Once again I've slipped
Finding quick to realize that it was, it has, and always will be my life.
Would you fall to save my name at all?
Behind closed doors I'll be dead by dawn
Would you fall to save my name at all?
(Music And Lyrics: R. Medina)
Cry...into the wind
Vivd warning time to take heed
They soon await for
A systematic regime
One world! One card!
Flashes on my T.V. screen
Security success, shines on a pedestal
Swallowed in by our peers,
Destructive atmosphere
We've all come short/
Make the choice
Who will you serve?/
Save your soul
Lead: JG
Purchase so easily,
Comfort in buying,
Right through your screen
One chip! One scan!
Trapped souls back to the beast
Computer technology,
Recognize numbers fed to them
Futuristic unconsciousness,
Monetary resource grip
Collected power thruogh bankruptcy
Beheaded by corporate guillotine
Financial slave/How could you know?
Trick from hell/There's no choice
Need not to justify/
Hopes and dreams which you rely
A better place still yet to see
Don't take the mark, don't be deceived
Branded...Branded...Branded...Branded...
Branded...Branded...Branded...Branded...
lead: DF
Grind into your skin,
Laser technology,
Don't look back,
The time is here for you
Tribulation imminent,
The Prophecies will unfold
When they come to brand the mark,
Forget not the holy son
The battle's on and we will fight,
To hold on the light
We've all come short/
make the choice
Who will you serve?/Save your soul
Need not to justify/
Hopes and dreams which you rely
A better place still yet to see
Don't take mark,
Don't be deceived.
For life, by life.
Born into my skin, shedding filth within.
Final game of sin, breeding faith again
Step a little closer to see,
touch upon the scar that's healed
Every little bit of me rests upon the agony in my head.
But I have seen the pain, covered scars still remain
Lost in my own game, I'm killing fate again
Branded-branded-branded-branded
crawl inside my head
But I have seen the pain, covered scars still remain
Lost in my own game, I'm killing fate again
Branded-branded-branded-branded
crawl inside my head
Branded for life
Branded for life
Branded by life.
American economy kind of like American dreams
We see with American eyes, we hear American lies
For all the stars and stripes,for all the patriot lies
This country is build on shit racist government political hypocrites
Ah now you will fit in
Now you're working over time
Your part of the grind
You've got your number branded
Castrated left here to die
You paid your dues
You're supposed to be getting somewhere
The more you work
Seems you're getting nowhere
Practice what they preach
Till they tell you not to do your very best
They will never notice you
Now your branded
