Guess I've been bad all my life
Yeah I've sinned - bad all the time
I should have never learned
To play with fire - Oh, no, no
I got my front seat in hell
That my momma said I would get
And all us dirty devils there
Are high tonight
Yeah I know that I should have learned
If ya play with fire ya burn
No deposit, no return
On my life
Oh but there's a party down in flames
And I got no time to waste
No I ain't feeling no pain
Too high to die
Oh, I'm getting - high on the flames
Oh, I'm gonna - ride on the flames
Oh, I'm getting - high on the flames
Oh, tonight
Too high to die
Asleep in black
There's no light in the crack
The crooked fingers for you
No don't ya dare say a prayer
It's just the nights in your mare
Oh the long forever you'll do
No mercy - no coming back
No mercy - forever fade to black
Oh where's the god that made you
Oh you're superman
Going down forever - to never land
Oh where's the God you pray
Forsaken again
Never knew forever
The Shadow Man
Oh free at last
With a heart in the black
Forever shadowing you
Don't you swear to the terror
Your god never cares
Oh come oh whatever your do
[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]
[Repeat chorus]
Where's the god that made you
Oh you're superman
Going down forever to never land
Don't runaway or hide again
No gates of Heaven
Fifty million miles below my feet
There's a lot of people
I'd like to meet
There's thieves and killers
Harlots and whores
All were misguided
But not any more...
So I see their fate
In the black of the doom
Waves of fire in the storm
Creatures howl at the moon
They're screaming intensely
Their cries are heard for miles
A prince resides there
Lake of fools, burning wild
YOU KNOW I deceived ya
You see it's all in my eyes
A marquee of madness
DeSade I claim that you're mine
The mad eyes of your lover
In through my eyes you see
No you'll never run
I know your emotions
Are slaves I've bound and I've tied
You'll never be free
Cause you Master's chained to your life
The mad eyes of your lover
In through your soul I see
No you'll never run
I got no face
But I've a name
I'll touch, and add you to my fame
I'll set you free but understand
Mom and daddy made me what I am
The mad eyes of your lover
In through your soul I see
No you'll never run
I know you hate to
Love me, love me
No matter what you do
I know you hate to love me, love me
Oh no you got nothing to lose no, no
Deliver me
To the bad I was born
I'm a sinner in flames
I was schooled by Lucifier's horn
And bad religion all along the way
Play with me
I won't do you no harm
No - I ain't been a saint
If I
Do the time - then I'll do the crime
I'll be raising hell in flames
If there's a hell
Then I'll buy a round
Cause I'm going anyway
No don't let
Five minutes with the Devil fool ya'
Oh yeah ya' got some hell to pay
Damnation angels
Yeah I'm going
Down with the angels
Into the fire
Damnation angels
Yeah I'm going
Down with the angels
To the flames I'm bound
Ooh I'm on the road to hell you see
The road to terror dome is calling me
[Jesse to Congregation]
Don't you take me to
Your preachers
And blind me with
Their teachings
Take your sorrowed souls
And give'em to the blind
Are the Gods that made you lying
To the bloodied faces
And never cry
How long you all
Been waiting to die
Blinded by your teachers
Now they'll be hiding
You'll be seeking
Will you give'em mercy
Hang'em on high
Johnny get your guns for dying
It's time for right'n all the wrongs they've lied
Give me a shotgun
Make it alright
Don't tell me your
Maker's laughing
You're bleeding the world he made
Shotgun the walls of wailing
Come tell me
When it starts again
Running for our lives - will ya
Tear down the walls and smile
God in Heaven save us all tonight
Show me the nerves twitching on your face
Killing the flesh on the bone
You're just one final scream away
You love it to death ya know
Tell me ya lie on your bed of nails
Tell me you're losing control
Nightmares in ecstacy ya need
A razorlike crown of thorns
Hey, hey, yeah take the addiction
Hey, hey, yeah just a little, It's just one pretty kill away
Hey, hey, yeah kiss the affliction
Oh a pretty kill away, a kill away tonight
Screaming babies on razor blades
Into the hole you slide
Barbed-wire and twisting snakes
In a bed of nails you die
Hey, hey, yeah take the addiction
Hey, hey, yeah just a little, It's just one pretty kill away
Hey, hey, yeah kiss the affliction
Oh a pretty kill away, a kill away tonight
[BONUS TRACK]
Big mondo fun, the land of the rising sun
A monster rising in my eyes
My eyes are red with blood
And I can't see the sun
Come with me and you're gonna die
There ain't nowhere to run
Tokyo's gonna burn
The devil is here in my eyes
And you better run Banzi Itchi-Ban
Cause Tokyo is burning all night
Itchi-Ban of sin I'll be the night time king
Take me to the devil's hole
And let me feel your roar
Your demon alcohol
My monster ain't got no control
There ain't nowhere to run
Tokyo's gonna burn
The devil is here in my eyes
And you better run Banzi Itchi-Ban
Cause Tokyo is burning all night
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
There ain't nowhere to run
Tokyo's gonna burn
The devil is here in my eyes
And you better run Banzi Itchi-Ban
Cause Tokyo is burning all night
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
Tokyo's on fire
I was the boy unwanted, a prisoner I'm born to them
My brother was the one, the couldn't do no wrong
And I was there dying in the shadow of him
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah I'm the new whipping boy
Who am I - the orphan son you would never need?
Who am I - cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Who am I - the slave you gave just the air I breathe?
Who am I - cause I'm the boy only the mirror sees
Oh I got the same old reruns, horror movies in my head
And I can't rest, the scare me to death
But if I'm not alive, how can I be dead?
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy?
Feel the strap, cross my back
Yeah I'm the new whipping boy
Oh, why me?
The mirror
Why him
Can you tell me?
It's confession again?
Come talk to me, I see in your eyes
Titantic misery, ashamed that you're alive
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
I'm the mirror my boy
Wanna tell you a story
Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
Oh, she steals the show
Ain't exactly pretty
Bitch ain't exaclty small
14-39-56
You can say she's got it all
Never met a woman
Never met a woman like you
Doin' all the things
Doin' all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bone
But you give it all you got
Weighin' in at nineteen stone
You're a whole lot of woman
A whole lot of woman
Whole lotta Rosie
You're a whole lotta woman
Oh honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one that turns
Only one that turns me on
All through the night-time
All around the clock
Too much advising
Don'tcha never stop
She's a whole lot of woman
A whole lot of woman
Whole lotta Rosie
You're a whole lotta woman
If I could only stand and stare in the mirror could I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Do you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
If I could only stand and stare in the mirror would I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
ll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
ere is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
There's a thousand voices in my head
Long ago
Come inside, see yourself tonight
Let me in, floating in the wind
Oh, I don't know
The sounds you hear
Are silent in the night
Take me down to the trail of tears
Where tomorrow never knows
A resurrection closer to a
Light I've never known
Play the game existence to the
Living end I go
Take me down to the trail of tears
Where tomorrow never knows
The lost road of destiny
I ride away home
Head to lay on velvet nails tonight
And will I lay down to close my eyes
Oh, I don't know
Spirit wind with broken wings to fly away home
[Repeat chorus]
My feet are raw from the
Trail where I've been
Oh God these tears are evermore
My heart is gone
Oh to never come again
I'll walk the stars
On my way home
[Repeat chorus]
Jesse to God] Oh tell me my lord
Why am i here?
Lost in all our pain and sorrow
Are we to live in pain and fear?
Oh, tell me my Lord
Why am I here?
I ride, I ride the winds that bring the rain
A creature of love and I can't be tamed
I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him
And I'll touch your face and hot burning skin
No, he'll never ever touch you like I do
So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth
I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do... I want you
Tell me, tell me the lies you're telling him
When you run away cause I wanna know
Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find
That you run to me when he lets you go
Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire
So come turn me on and turn the flames up higher
I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do... I want you
A naked heat machine, I want your love
When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does
I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you
My heart's in exile I need you to touch me
Cause I want what you do I want you
[Jesse to God]
Oh tell me Lord, why am I here?
Lost in all our pain and sorrow
Are we to live in pain and fear?
Oh tell me Lord, why am I here?
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Ooh, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
All last night sat on the levee and moaned,
I said left my baby and my happy home.
Going, go'n' to Chicago,
Go'n' to Chicago,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Going down, going down now, going down.
Don't they make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down South
Then there's no work to do,
And you're going on to Chicago.
To Chicago
Going down, going down, going down
[Billy to Jesse] Time to go away
Down a road I cannot hide
Will I have no name
For destiny’s I cannot find
Will I wander alone
Forever’s lonely road of time
Am I looking for what
I’ll never find
Did you call my name
I will be leaving from this dream
Can you feel the pain
Slowly leaving me
Will you hold my hand
And ease me to the other side
Am I looking for what
I’ll never find
Can you hear me
Can you hear me in the night
Will you feel me
If you leave me will I cry?
Can you hear me
Can you feel me say goodbye
Oh I, I was marked from the day I was born
A rebel and I was the one who I am
My father could not understand the fire in me
There was, there was times I was crazy for real
So crazy I just couldn't feel, no, no, no
Confusion would stand in the door and tell me lies
But now I stand on my feet so alive
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Oh I, I did not choose, the music chose me
I was christened and destined to be who I am
The one that they said would be damned
A hellion child that...?
I stand at the mirror and sing
I dare to be different and dream, now I am
Big thunder that rolls on the land forever wild
But still, this feeling inside never die
I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, Come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
Raise your fist and support your rebel outlaws
Cause nobody rides for free
The freedom we lose today, you lose tomorrow
Because freedom means something to us...
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll let out a cry
I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune
Ah, come take a stand
Together we'll never say die
I WAS HERE when time began
I was in them all
A wicked one magician's hand
I'm what John had saw
I'm a thing that lives and breathers
With slaves to worship me
There are many that are born of me
Anytime there are many me's
Crowned messiah, I crucified him
And still ya don't believe
I am Kings - I am queens
Unholy terrors me
I'm the feces of the species
Still you're all in awe
I'm something a prophet saw
Hister with a rise all fall
Obsessed with Lennon
Manifested Marx
I'm incest in the hearts of dark
I'm riding on some atomic bomb -
To blind you all into King-dom-come--
I am - I am - I am - I am
[Originally performed by Queen]
Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
Schoolbabe
Your mamma says you don't
And your daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever got from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweet heart band
To put a stop to all that
Grousin' an' shipin'
Tie your mother down -
Tie your mother down -
Take your little brother swimmin'
Tie your mother down,
Tie your mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine
Your mamma and your Daddy gonna
Plague me till I die
Why can't the understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down...

....
There's never a day, that's passing my way
That I never need it
My hands on the wheel, my foot's on the steel
'Cause I gotta feel it
[REFRAIN:]
The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah
The rock rolls forever on - ooh, forever on
Like thunder - coming down, ooh, yeah
It blows through my veins like thunder and rain
And I can't live without it
I scream for the crowds, and turn it up loud
'Cause I gotta feel it
[REFRAIN:]
Six string and lightning strikes
Come make me blind
Ooh burn it up
Bring down the pedal to the metal

Forever never stop
[Jesse to the Invisible Circus]
Welcome to my world
To my kingdom of make believe
I'm your new Messiah
You'll worship at my feet
Welcome Kingdom Come
To disciples that I preach
Will ya, bow down before me and
Will you remember me?
[Invisible Circus] Dying for you

Take me

Love me
A crown of thorns on my heart
Change me
Save me
Will you love me?
Forever nailed to your cross
There's a red worm crawling in my head
Cut in half worm, in my blood he lies red
And I see him in my head
It's my nightmare, oh it's my dream
He's inside here silencing my screams
Alone on a razor's edge
Alone sliding on the razor's edge
I'm the horror on the edge
Cause I, I'm the worm that cometh
I am him I am hell, I am god, I'm the devil all in one
The eyes that hide the face inside
Come stare into my eyes
A killer's listening to horrors in my head
He's bleeding, sliding on the razor's edge
Through my eyes he watches me
He lies inside watching me
There's a red noise deep inside my head
An obscure noise and the smell of slow death
If there's a hell then I'll be there
I am god, obscene death
I'm the worm on razor's edge
All pigs die
Kill, fuck, die
I am hell, godless me
I am pagan idolatry
Kneel before the horror
Kneel before the horror
Fuck me, kill me, drink my blood
Fuck me, kill me, drink my blood
All pigs die, kill, fuck, die
I'm the horror on the edge
Cause I, I'm the worm that cometh I am him I am hell
I am god, I'm the devil all in one
The eyes that hide the face inside
Come stare into my eyes
[Jesse to God] A storm is come
One war of sun and rain – within me
A raging storm
Lost crossroads thundering – in the wind
Dark and son
Who’s the only one
To lay claim of me
Altars of store
Righteous temptations
Here at my feet
Give me love
To rage in me can you see?
Only love
Is saving me
Give me love, oh love
That rage in me
It rages on
Of mourn and memories
In the wind
A warring storm
My soul is bargaining – in the end
Is there no sun?
With only love in vain – and it’s pain
Hear me oh Lord
Cleanse me evermore with
Your blood of rain
Holy war for my soul
Scars of memories remain
Oh, tell me why am I here
Storms of crossroads and rage
He came from the East
They called him a beast
This king of terror insane
Neutron Ronnie, the people would whisper his name
Dangerous and mad
A torch in his hand
Spread fire by the light of the moon
Ooh, pyrotechnical wizard of doom
Oh no here comes Ronnie
Ah the bombers insane
Ah till he dies it'll burn in his eyes
A phantom so cool
A midnight would rule
And molotov cocktail would rain
Babies screamin'
And house would go up in flames
When next Ronnie goes, nobody knows
But inside him's where Lucifer hides
Ooh, he's the boy with the bombs at his side
Ooh no here comes Ronnie, ah the boy with the flame
Ah his life has been burning inside
Oh no no here comes Ronnie
Ah the bombers insane
Ah till he dies the burning in his eyes
Oh no here comes Ronnie
Ah the boy with the flame
Ah his life has been burning inside
Oh no no here comes Ronnie
Ah the bombers insane
As till he dies the burning in his eyes
One night as I rolled down some long winding road
I saw you and I knew I couldn't let you go
Half child and all woman, vision fantasy
Lost against the moonlight bathed in ecstasy
Leopard's skin and cat's eyes
Has the jungle made you wild
The prey you're after, is you faster
Will it make you smile
Ride with me, I'll set you free
Chains can't hold us down
I need you, if you want me
Lovers we are bound
[REFRAIN:]
Sweet cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me
Cheetah, cheetah
I love it when your claws run through me
Fever, fever, I love it, babe
Come do it to me now
Skin tight you move in so slowly to thrill
Waiting for the nightmare then you're in for the kill
Amazon so sleekly you know what to do
Eat the flesh, and save my heart
And leave it when you're through
Pain and pleasures all mine
Untamed and running wild
Sink your teeth into me
Lick your lips and smile
Take my hand and ride the land
Forever you and me
Hold on tight to me all night
And set your spirit free
[REFRAIN:]
Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
A privileged invitation to the last rights of me
Remember me? You can't save me
Mama you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see
Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million
I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
The idol of a million lonely faces look at me
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
There is no love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free
I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy
The strap on my back
Red, crimson red, no I was never to be
Only one crimson son, no it never was me
Living in the limelight little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
With these six-strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide
Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the imposter, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free
No love, to shelter me, only love
Love set me free
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
And wild ones of all ages
Step right up, I welcome you to come on in
Inside the Electric Circus
The music is your passport, your magic key
To all the madness that awaits you
Feel the thunder and the frenzy
And see all the unusual animals
And the animals?
Well they're something else
Give me a ticket on a jet airplane!
I'm a going to take it up!
I lead my life in the fast lane
The only way to make it
It might keep me going all night long
Cause that's the way I like it
And with what you've got
In the heat of the night
I know we've got to try it
Until the flame burns out!
Until the flame burns out!
So turn it up,
Your radio
Everybody shake it
I'm a 100 degrees
With wild fantasies
And I need someone to make it
Out!
Show Me a place where love is sweet
I ain't going to take it
I need a girl
Who just wants my love
Cause now is the time to make it
Before the flame burns out!
Before the flame burns out!
Before the flame burns out!
Before the flame burns out!
Out! Out! Out! Out! Out!
I'm gonna make
Your hips on fire
It's so hot, I've got to try it
Show me the spot
And I'll hit the mark
Baby, I've got the gasoline
if you've got the spark
Yeah, before the flame burns out!
Until the flame burns out!
I saw my face in the mirror
And now I understand
Johathon Jonathon Jonathon....
I'm just a man
There was no love to shelter me
Love

When the truth is found to be lies
You know the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You Better find someone to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
Find somebody to love
When the dawn is rose, they are dead
Yes and you're mine, you're so full of red
Your eyes, I say you eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Tears are running
Running along down your breast
And your friends baby
They treat you like a guest
Oh, all I need was someone to love me

I'm looking to beat hell, looks like
I've got to run to be the leader
As my forces yell, you can hear 'em, can't you hear them?
All the way-we'll go the distance
All the way-stand behind me now
All the way-no turning back
All the way cause we are together
I'm standin' proud, we're screaming loud
I'll lead the crowd
Running wild in the streets
A heavy dose of mean, yeah, I'm a lethal combination
Hear my forces scream, you can see them, can't you see them?
All the way-we'll go the distance
All the way-stand behind me now
All the way-no turning back
All the way we are together
I'm standin' proud, we're screaming loud
I'll lead the crowd
Running wild in the streets
'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of American. And
to the republic for which it stands. One nation under gob,
indivisible... with liberty and justice for all!'
My eyes are burning
Bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clock's wailing
Class bells screaming
I can't hear!
A text book mad house
Twelve years
I'm here in a rage
A juvenile jail
And I'm here locked up
In their cage!
School daze! School daze!
I'm here doing time
School daze! School daze!
My age is a crime
School daze! School daze!
I'm here doing time
School daze! School daze!
I'm attending 'Hell high'
A blackboard jungle tows the line
The rulers made
A homework hellhouse
Screams at me
Yes, it's a grave!
Tick-tock, 3 o'clock
I'm sitting here
I'm counting off the days
A fire bell's ringing hell
And I'd sure like to see the blaze!
Write it down!
School daze! School daze!
I'm here doing time
School daze! School daze!
My age is a crime
School daze! School daze!

Nobody here

I pledge no allegiance
And I bet
They're gonna drive me craze yet
I'm dying here
And trying to get free!
Wow!
I'm a night rider burning the highways, no brakes I ride
Tasmanian Devil, a mean streak as wide as the sky
As wild as the night
Cause I'm a wild screaming eagle
I thunder and roll down the line
No one can see that I got to be free
All that I need's just to ride in the breeze
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Don't tread on me cause I'm living to be
S-s-s-s-s-savage
I'm a fur stroking monster, I'll eat you alive
My heart is my smoking sportster, cross me and you'll not survive
My wheels are my life
No one can see that I got to be free
All that I need's just to ride in the breeze
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Don't tread on me cause I'm living to be
S-s-s-s-s-savage
Don't dare touch me
Five hundred c-c-c-c-c-c-s
No one can see that I got to be free
All that I need's just to ride in the breeze
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Don't tread on me cause I'm destined to be
Savage
To be free, ride in the breeze
No don't you touch me
I'm running today, I'm still bound to stay
Sa-sa-sa-savage
Thunder pounding my brains in
A six string rock and roll razor
Nobody's gonna save me
The whole world drives me crazy
I hate work, I hate school
I got a case of the rock's dead blues
Friday night I'll be raging
Midnight gonna be wasted
Friday I'm raising
Hell, I'm gonna be wasted
Time to party, raise a glass
Tell everybody to kiss my ass
Let me go-dead or rock, dead or rock
Dead or rock, dead or rock
If rock and roll dies
I'll take my last breath Rock and roll to death
Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets please, dead or rock
Find me a grave, help me dig it
If rock's dead then bury me with it
Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets please, dead or rock
To death do us part to my last breath
Gimme rock or gimme death
Why's my blood race
Why I gnash my teeth
Sand man's come here
With his misery
You wrought with pain
As you slash my flesh
Wrath's revenge lives again
I'll kill your pain oh the seeds of cane
I ain't no stranger giving love
Don't ya plead
Oh won't ya bleed for me
Hell's be raining from above
I'm coming home
Vengeance be thy name
I'm coming home
Revengeance scream my name
Cane killed Abel - did his brother's deed
Cursed all time
Damned to spread his seed
Pricks to blind
Thorns are in my side
Oh, slay thy brother's life
[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]
Oh your God's got you dying to be
Oh your martyr's in the sand
I'll hunt you down like the dogs that you be
Your Armageddon's in my hands
[Repeat chorus]
[Billy to Jesse] We are the lost of timeless
Hazes never found
We walk the new rays of the rising sun
In here’s a heaven where no pain is found
[Jesse to Billy] Take away the pain of life for me
Take me where I’m numb
Take me tripping to the light I see
With magic colors of the rising sun
[Billy to Jesse] In here are the doors of blindness
Trails of rainbows round
Lost asylums of forgotten sons
Will you rise up will you touch your God.
The sky’s slip into the rising seas
And drown your Neon One
Come touch the faces of the Gods you seek
In the Red Room of the Rising Sun
[Jesse to Billy] Is there love to save me
Or just illusion
Is there none to claim me
Just delusion
[Billy to Jesse] Open the doors to your mind
And hide in your dreams
The Red Room is laughing
The Red Sun is happy
Close the holes here inside
Don’t believe all you think
The Red Room is crying
The Red Sun is rising
Hold on, hold on
Touch the faces of God and roll on
Into the Red Room
And free your Neon One
Hold on, can you roll on
Fly the haze’s along
Into the Rising Sun
And feel your Neon love
Hold on, can you hold on
Oh – can you feel it shining
See it rising with the sun
Hold on, can you hold on
Oh – can you feel shining
See it rising
With this love.
ANGEL OF ORLEANS in me
I'll tell you no lies
Ravens have bore me wings to fly
King of the night time forever
It's all I'm living for
I'll embrace my immortal
Forever night
One crimson kiss is bleeding
My raven heart
Tales of the darkside here is all right
Bring me the nighttime forever
It's all you're dying for
Take me hand and I'll show ya
Forever night
Raven - say you want me to
Rain the dark on forever you
Raven heart
No there ain't nothing dark that I won't do
My raven heart'll bleed all over you
Dancing with danger
Right out your door
The silk hat you buy
And you sell
Mommy and daddy said
The life that you led
Will probably lead your way to hell!
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I want you
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I need you
Playing with fire
Lusting with burns
Thrusting the flames in your eyes!
Sex is painted same
They're really the same
Just use and abuse them
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I want you
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I need you
On your knees
that's where you all shall be!
Well, I'll get you contest
Your first really sin, ha-ha-ha!!!
Running in the wild wind!
And the dark fills the mystery!
We'll all be there someday!
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I want you
On your knees!
Are you sassy?
On your knees!
Cause I need you
Yeah!

[Judah to Jesse]
Where will we go from here
My Neon One
Or will we wander from now on
Is there a promised land we hear
Of ever Neon sun

Red rising sun
Stoned wilderness
And give us love
You blew a breath into our ears
With your dying dove
Are we all hellbound forever

But where do we go from here
We really wanna know
It is down, down, down, down
Or is it our Neon God
I was born Jonathon Aaron Steel, to the parents of William and Elizabeth steel.
I am a Leo, born under the sign of the lion and I was raised in a lower middle class family with only one brother Michael whom I love dearly.
He was five years my senior. My father's nickname was Red which I
could never understand why because his hair was sandy blond. Nevertheless,
the name stuck. So when my brother was born my father became Big Red and
my brother Little Red. I should have known from the first time when I
realised their special connection, that I just didn't fit in to my
father's plans. And as I grew older the constant comparison between my
brother and myself left little doubt who was the image of perfection in my
father's eye. To him, my brother could do no wrong and I became The
Invisible Boy, the proverbial 'black sheep' and I soon figured out that
red and black don't mix. The beatings I received became more and more
frequent to the point where I would ask my father 'Am I the orphaned son
you would never need'? But oddly enough I worshipped the ground my father
walked upon.
My brother and I were a strange mixture, as different as daylight and
dark. Looking back, it's hard to imagine we came from the same parents. I
sometimes wondered if we had the same father, but I always dismissed that
idea as my mother was far too religious, my father as well, to ever even
think of such a thing. But my brother who had always sensed my parent's
instilled insecurities tried his best to encourage me. For I was born
different and he knew it. He often told me when I was born an angel flew
over my bed and christened me with a magic wand and said 'You shall be the
one'. And I had no idea what 'The one' was, but as I grew older I began to
understand. Most boys put their mother on a pedestal and worship them like
the Virgin Mary but with her too my relationship was different and not for
the good. She was opinionated, uneducated, sometimes prejudiced,
overbearing, believed everything she read, true or not, and when it came
to religion was over-zealous to say the least. A mind boggling combination
but she was pretty, very pretty and I would often wonder, bordering on
complete confusion, how a person of this description could rationalise life.
This was a series of characteristics that many times in my life I would
look back on in bewilderment and the women I sought after when I was older
would be nothing like her. In the pain of youth, the misery of my neglect,
would manifest itself in many ways; depression - my enemy, fear - my
friend, hatred - my lover, and anger - fuel for my fire. These four
characteristics of my personality would become the guiding force of my
life and would control everything I did or was to become. I shall explain
later in the story about them which I call my Four Doors of Doom.
The mirror, the great plaything for man's vanity. The mirror was to
become, at times, my altar of refuge and other, my alter ego and its
magnificent obsession with a relentless pursuit of attention. It served as
a chilling reflection of my own wretchedness and my greatness. It was the
one place I could go to see inside myself, to find love, in an otherwise
loveless household where I could be great, where I could be anything or
anyone I wanted to be - one hundred percent pure escapism until I
discovered its precious secret. The mirror lives, it breathes, it talks,
it lies, it has a personality all its own. It is a genie that grants all
the wishes you could ever dream, at least in my case - all except two.
It was my 14th birthday, the day that changed my life forever. My brother
Michael, the one person who was my guiding light, my friend, my hero, was
killed by a drunk driver in a head-on collision. He died instantly. I
couldn't even bring myself to go to his funeral. My agony was so great I
just couldn't come face to face with him that one last time. My failure to
attend intensified my parents' resentment for me even more. But from that
moment on, nothing seemed to matter, especially that living hell called
'home'. For one year after his death I roamed the streets in a fog barely
conscious of anything or anyone. I discovered alcohol, and girls, drugs
and in general a life I had never known which was exciting, frightening
and wonderfully dangerous. And it was then as I staggered through a down
town city street in one of my drunken rages I stumbled across a small
music shop and in the window stood the instrument, the fiery tool that
would become the object of my new found desire. The instrument of my
passion, my obsession, the blood-red six string. It was like I'd known
the thing all my life.
I soon found it was the only way I could truly express myself. It was a
way to vent all my frustrations and all my pain - completely opened all my
Four Doors Of Doom and I found myself going to the mirror for counsel less
and less. Because of this my songs seemed to write themselves and I knew
my destiny was in my music but I was going to have to get out of this
backwards town I was in if I was ever going to succeed. I was 16 going
nowhere and the only thing my parents knew was 'live, work, die. ' And if I
stayed there that was exactly what was going to happen to me - I was gonna
die. So I ran away to the big city with the lights, excitement and danger
and a chance for me to finally live and do my music without the
persecution I had known for so long. I hitchhiked all the way with a
suitcase in one hand and my guitar in the other and as I stood at the edge
of the city the magic of the place was incredibly intense. It was to be my
new home the place I would call the 'Arena Of Pleasure'. I lived and
struggled in the arena for two years trying to get a break in music and
make a record and that's when I ran across a delightful business man named
Charlie. He had been a lawyer for 25 years before he discovered he could
fuck over more people in the recording industry then he ever could in a
court of law and he was the president of one of the biggest record
companies in the world. The music business to Charlie was nothing more
than a sacrificial lamb to be led to slaughter and the weapon of choice
was his record company that he'd wield like a mighty sword. The great tool
he would lovingly refer to as 'The Chainsaw'. The morgue, Charlie said,
was the music business where everyone sells out. Where all the artists
will eventually whore themselves to commercialism, the place where the
music comes to die. And through him I learned everything I needed to know
about the music business and even things I didn't want to know. He said he
could make me a star, one of the biggest things the world had ever seen.
The big time was calling and I was on my way. He introduced me to an
aspiring young manager named Alex Rodman and together we took on the whole
fucking world and kicked it square in the ass.
Just before the release of my first album I was sitting on the steps in
front of my apartment when a gypsy woman passed by. She stopped and asked
me if I would like my fortune read and I had never had it done so I was
more than happy to say yes. She revealed a deck of Tarot cards and began
to tell me of my past in which she went into great detail about the pain
of my youth, my brother and my parents. She saw my present with my great
struggle to succeed and fulfillment of my dreams and new found happiness
but after about ten minutes she stopped and I wanted to know of my future
and pleaded for her to go on and finally she spoke. She showed me a very
disturbing vision of where I was going. I told her that I wanted a
phenomenal wealth and fame and in the cards she saw a fallen hero and
looked at me and said 'Be careful what you wish for - it might come true,
for the face of death wears the mask of the King of Mercy'. I asked her if
she was sure of what she had seen and with a blank stare she turned and
walked away leaving me with the cards and a haunting that would follow me
the rest of my life.
Success agreed with me with amazing ease. The more records I sold the more
excess I had of everything - friends, money, women, cars, houses. It was
at one of my nightly hedonisms where a flash individual entered the room.
He introduced himself as the Doctor. I asked him what kind of doctor and
he smiled and said, 'meet my friend Uncle Sam'. The mirror that was once
on the wall, my alter ego, was now talking to me from the table and the
next three years were a blur. Drugs became the new candy and alcohol
became the new Coca Cola and Doctor Rockter was my new best friend and I
never heard the mirror speak again until tonight.
I was at the peak of my career and the world saw me as I had always wanted
it, The Idol, the Great Crimson Idol. Now I had everything it seemed,
everything but the one thing that would have meant more to me than
anything. The pain that manifested itself into my obsession, the
acceptance of me by my father and mother, who I had not spoken to since
I had left home.
One morning my manager Alex came in and broke up one of our nightly Easy
Rider Parties. An Easy Rider Party was when everybody would come over to
my house, the band, the doctor, hot and cold running women etc. And we'd
watch the movie and do everything going on the film only a lot more. And
he threatened to leave me if I didn't clean up. It was not that he cared
about me as a person he was only interested in my talent and what I could
do to further his own career as a true showbiz mogul. But it was then I
realised just how far things had gone. So I sat there alone in my palace
of pain and I was just numb from the alcohol and the drugs but equally as
intoxicated by my own fame and I had just enough courage to pick up the
phone and dial the number. My mind went into a whirlwind thinking of what
would happen and the fear overcame me and I started to put down the phone
but before I could a voice at the other end rang out and it sent a chill
through me that I had never known. It was my mother. It was hard for me to
speak, my heart pounding out of my chest but when I did I did the best I
could. She was very cold. But I knew the shock of suddenly hearing from me
after all these years was overwhelming and I was hoping that all the time
that had passed would heal the deep wounds between my parents and me
but... I desperately wanted them to approve of me, to accept me - it was
all I ever wanted. I hoped my success would finally prove my worthiness
and they would welcome the prodigal son home. All I wanted was for them to
be proud of me but less than 50 words were spoken. The last four were 'We
have no son'.
Some wounds never heal and mine had scarred me for life. A great star fell
from the sky that night and with its descent left a scorched path in its
way - a great path of self-destruction before burning out. And on this
night the great finale is finally here. 'Be careful what you wish for - it
may come true. ' Long live, long live the King of Mercy
Am I free
Am I done believing
Oh God Jehovah
I've never known religion
Lost in the darkness of my memories
Deep in the darkness of my heart
Coiled in the grasses that torment me
There lies my serpents in the dark
Father I'm here in the dark
And I know it's forever night
Ain't nothing gonna change forever
My wicked heart
Father I'm here in the dark
And I know my heart is the darkness
Oh tell me can you claim me never
My darkest heart
Am I too far beyond forgiving
A borrowed soul ain't never known believing
Lost in the dark can you forgive me
Deep in the darkness of my heart
Coiled in the grasses that torment me
There lies my serpents in the dark
[Repeat chorus]
Because nothing can change my wicked heart
Nothing can tame my wicked heart
Nothing unchains my wicked heart
You see me, a man and machine
All my life so hungry and lean
Watch me bleed and I feel no pain
I'm going wild, and slowly insane
[REFRAIN:]
Mantrollic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantrollic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
One fast lane on top of the world
Balls of steel, mechanical pearls
I pay my dues and suffer alone
Feels like hell and cut to the bone
[REFRAIN:]
Be careful now
Because what you wish for
May just come true
If you look
Behind that door
[REFRAIN:]

He come slow, the slither man
So long crawls out of his own dead skin
He come, he come
I come here for your pain
I come take all your pain away
Two in me, they can't see who they are
No, no, no little voice, with big horror
Come meet the advocate's devil
Leave your soul at the door
And come on inside
Asylums of lost insane
A kiss from some slowly dying face
Two in me, they can't see who they are no, no, no
Sex and death and the american west
Fuck us all, farewell to flesh
I want you, I want to, I want to kill you
Wanna kill your pretty face, kill your pretty face
Come on give me a little piece of death
The darkened heart inside the self
To lives to sleep, to dies awake
Kill your pretty, kill your pretty face
Kill your pretty face
Tear the heart out of mother and mother bleeds
Cut mother open, and the wounded mother dies
A scream unlock the cage
The roars rock the stage
Hunger of the animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage
Raw prints on the page
The room's going wild, walls are falling
Lights shine illumination bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight
[REFRAIN:]
Welcome, I bid your welcome, to live
Inside the electric circus
Hang on,hang on to your life
The animals are all insane - God help us
Electricity to burn
Amplifiers churn
Three ring madhouse calls the action
It's life upon the road
Insane asylum grows

A strange world that you might wanna know
When it comes alive - crank, crank, crank, crank the show

Signed and sealed

I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me (yes, I do)
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery
I don't need no doctor
Well, the doctor said I need the rest - ooh, ooh
He put me on the critical list - ooh, ooh
Keeping me safe from harm - ooh, ooh
All I need is her sweet charm - ooh, ooh
He gave me a medical option, that wouldn't do
Ooh, yeah, my motion, oh, yeah, no doctor, no
I don't need no doctor
Come and take me down the dark beyond
And take me there where I come from
Take me down to the place where I'll kneel
And let me lay my shadow down
In through the eyes of a child's inner me
No pain to heal my bloodied brow
There is no rain to save this silent town
There is no rain to save at all
There is no place to save this silent ground
There is no place to save at all
Oh Father take me unto where I'll lay me down
On Hallowed Ground
Oh the sky is falling
And I don't know where my home is now
My Hallowed Ground
Oh and can you take me
For I have tasted Hallowed Ground
Oh all around
Father - do you hear me
This pain I will not cry aloud
Father - I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbowed
[Repeat chorus]
I ride all alone and can't see
The road to nowhere anymore
And shadows whispers are calling me
To forbidden forests by the shore
And there she fell, deep in the night
One breath away from heavens light
And she said - don't cry for me I'm leaving you
The wind cries her name in the breeze
But I can't hold her anymore /no, no, no/
Some fallen angel had come to me
And fell too heavy on my soul
And stole from me the love that I heard
Lords of time say never die
And she sad - don't cry for me, because I'll be
Riding the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
I'll ride the wind forever free
High in the wind forever free
Forever in my hearts a fire, a fire burning
I wake up nights and hear her crying, crying my name
Come and take me down the dark beyond
And take me there where I come from
Take me down to the place where I'll kneel
And let me lay my shadow down
In through the eyes of a child's inner me
No pain to heal my bloodied brow
There is no rain to save this silent town
There is no rain to save at all
There is no place to save this silent ground
There is no place to save at all
Oh Father take me unto where I'll lay me down
On Hallowed Ground
Oh the sky is falling
And I don't know where my home is now
My Hallowed Ground
Oh and can you take me
For I have tasted Hallowed Ground
Oh all around
Father - do you hear me
This pain I will not cry aloud
Father - I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbowed
[Repeat chorus]
I'm the picher you're the catcher
I ain't talking bout baseball
You're a sweet switch hitter
I want it all
Aah, if you wanna play the game baby
Aah, wanna play it right now
I can show you how to do it
I'm gonna show you how
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on give it to me
Burn me with your love
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on, hurt me honey

Got a wild one on the wire
It's getting hot where I stand
Catch the heat and feel the fire

We're gonna sweat and touch each other
I wanna feel it alright
We're gonna push it to the limit
We're gonna do it all night
Flesh and fire, fire, I want you
Come on give it to me
Burn me with your love

Come on over now and set yourself on down here
Tell me everything that you want
Aow, come on over now and whisper in my ear
Tell me everything that you wanna hear
YOU STAND OUTSIDE the circle lonely
Here in darkness' eyes
Are the lives realized all the same
Or are they magic of mind
Ooh if I leave
Will I - be here again
Ooh what remains
Is Evermore in the wind
Do the shadows of my memory
From a long ago time
Lead a path to the other lives of me
Souls of past great divides
Ooh, give me wings
Will I be here again
Ooh and its embrace
Is in the arms of the wind
And only those who stand within
Can hold the keys that let us in
But if the magic in us dies
Ooh then the souls within us cries
Beyond the wall of tears we wander
Evermore in the wind
Beyond the wall of tears we wonder
Will I be here again
The magic of the circle lays
Somewhere between the dark and light
The magic circle never dies
Ooh, Evermore winds of change
Will I be here again
Ooh, will I rise on my wings
Evermore in the wind
Ooh, am I ever the same
Will I come back again
Ooh, give me wings for my change
Evermore in the wind
Oh will I come back again
Ever free in the end
Ooh, will I be here again
Into the arms of the wind
Destiny's To Come
[Judah to Jesse] There's a new world
I see it, coming here after you
If you knew where
And when it was coming
Maybe you'd know
Know you're through
New world, it's all been changing
There's nothing you can do
It's a new time
Disciples arranging
The Pay-Per-View end of you
You were forewarned
I'd betray you for everything
That you'd do
You're leaving this world
Don't let me stop
Your destruction of you
Could you do more
Oh, if only someone
Ever loved you
You could've been someone
The world's waiting
Oh, testament of your truth
New day
A new world is coming
No Resurrection's due
Oh, well give'em tickets
To the crucifixion
Oh, the last of you
Goodbye my Neon Dion my Darkness
My Neon God of Eden's so blind
Because I wish away all of your sorrows
I wash my hands of your life
Ain't nothing that can change a thing
Nothing can blame your death to be
Nothing can change our destinies
To come
Destinies to come
Destinies to come
This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy living
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven
[REFRAIN:]
Easy living, and I've been forgiven
Since you're taking your place in my heart
Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I have walked behind you
[REFRAIN:]
Waiting, watching, wishing my whole life away
Feeling, fainting, ready for my happy day
Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on the winding road
I have walked behind you
[REFRAIN:]
I guess you didn't make it
Do you wanna go now?
This ain't no joyride
It ain't your Daddy's Oldsmobile neither

Orange that's in me
I curse the darkness
Impassioned plea
And tear the heart out
And watch me bleed
I'll sacrifice my blood for free
To satisfy the vengeance in me
Oh all I need was someone
To love me
Oh all I needed was one
There's no one who cares
I'VE A BREATH in minds of men
With the lies I breath
No man's ever ruled the world
Not knowing the curse of me
I'm some of the seven sins
Vanity in the lust of men
I'm the Alfa - omega man
I'll show you who I am
Hypnotic charm, mesmerizing face

Oh let me burn the words forever mine
Across your heart, across your mind
Take your hands and feel my heart beat

Oh take me all the way
There's only one way
Only one thing I need, all I need
Take me way down
Come and lay down on me
Black bone torso, black bone torso
Cyanide a suicide
No thoughts of pain
Genocide a crucified martyr's laid
Down to the dust there to fade away
All geeks and circus freaks
Come play with me
Pimps to bring my sex fiends
Molesting me
Round to the lust my debauchery
Destined here to reign supreme
Your bloodied king
Dying for the world
Oh death where is thy sting
My black bone torso's
Bleeding me
One woman down my street is too hot for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eyes
Wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning, hot with love
A come-on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
Said call me up baby
It's gonna 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Ooh - no mama's baby, this child
She's a killer wrapped in high-heel shoes
Touch the skin - it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said, come on, babe, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberated means
Do it to me baby
I'm losing my mind
Said call me up honey
Tonight I'm 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Some bad habits are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming
I got to shake, shake, shake
9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
[Jesse to self]
All my life
Lost in a dream
Through my eyes
A world no one sees
All my life
No place for me
Through me eyes
A child no one needs
I can't take it no more
Can't take it no more
What spirits come from my soul
Can't wait any more
Can't hate any more
Last steps to freedom I go
Can't take it no more
Forsaken for sure
My wishing well's
For washing the lost
Can't wait anymore
My pain is too much
No one hears me
There ain't no love
No shame no more
No blame for sure
My wishing well is
Calling me home
[Jesse to Sister Sadie, His mother, Judah and The Disciples]
Please don't touch me
Please don't touch me
Please don't fuck me
Please don't touch me
Please don't touch me
[Jesse to God]

It's time, now it's time
Jack Action, where are you?
It's been too long since I've known
Won't give up on you till I'm done
You'll be dead soon, you can't run, no
Cause I'm looking for, looking for
Looking for Jack Action
To get my satisfaction
Looking for Jack Action
I'm looking, looking...
Money makes me crazy
Money makes me insane
Diamonds, silver, gold, and precious steel
I want it all It's mine to claim
I hold my hands out, I take it all
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name
Fortune come here to me, it's power that rules the game
Seduction of silver and lawless greed
I love it all, I damn the shame
The root of all evil can hear me call
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name
Solitaire, come cast a spell of magic
The smell of green I stack my dollars high
Intoxicating, my mind's wreaking havoc
A famous face, I get what you can't buy
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
I live for the glory and fame
I want a fistful, fistful of diamonds
The millions are calling my name
Oooh, I'm sitting down thinking about losing my mind
Cause I keep telling myself I'm only one of a kind
My life is broke because my dreams were shattered
For so very long nothing else mattered
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies
I'm standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
Yeah, they pull at my hair, and call out my name
They think I'm cool and got worries with fame
But I'm living to lose and dying to win
With those people around here my patience wears thin
I'm hearing Cries in the Night I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies
I'm standing cold in the light I lose the dream and I go crazy
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
Yeah, I'm trying to get away, get away from it all
I stand and scream, I'm not gonna crawl
The dream never dies
That's why I sing the song
Like my maddening world, it turns on and on
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
I can't wait another day
No, no, no, tell me no lies
I'm standing cold in the light
I lose the dream and I go crazy
I'm hearing Cries in the Night
These fits of depression are torturing me
The lives that I seen won't breath again
A sad child of madness, they'll never be free
Born again to die, the agonies begin
And soldiers keep coming - like warriors they die
But gang land's alive when mothers cry
Cause hate's blind addictions, a killing machine
And it burns on the fuel of shattered lives - lost child, lost child
The seeds of all evil are sown in their minds
And harvest the sad fields of woe
Cause dead boys are martyr
That live on forever
But now it's too late for their souls
Standing on sanities too fragile edge
And worship the 'Lord of Flies'
And wade through the slaughter
You've made of the brother
And drown in his blood then when he dies
You see in their eyes
They're the lost child
See in their eyes
You see in their eyes
They're the lost child
See in their eyes
Don't turn out the lights
Cause there's demons in the night
And they prey on the fears in us all
They hide inside and wait
And they shun the light of day
The screams in their dreams fill us all
Children of a night
Such a sad tune they rhyme
The bloody boys that sing a wicked song
And for all of them they're just memories in the wind
Rise and see
It's the down of insanity
Keeper of the gates of fire
And the Heretic has said
You don't have to be afraid
Till I - till I come to get ya
And child in time
On the swords edge you ride
And cast a spell of Heresy
And die in vain
Like a wild dog in chains
And no-one can save
Or set you free
A tattooed madman, I am hell on wheels
Born a wicked child left alone in the fields
My father was the wind, my mother was fire
Raised by the wolves and I grew up wild
A kamakazi man, a hollering 'Banzai'
Never crash and born, never donna die
Cannibal is me, ya squeal and shout
I chew ya up and spit ya out
Storms a c-c-coming and it's gonna be me
Here comes Trouble, with a capital 'T'
Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man, riding the wind
And know I'll be damned
All the way, all the way
All the way
Chewbacca in the rye
The water of fire,
A terror in the flesh, a killer for hire
California man
I'm white line,'Homer'
The unruly one they call the 'Blond Bomber'
Scooter gypsy, I'm a renegade
An orphan of the road
A live hand grenade
Never gonna quit before my time
When the moon gets high, then I'll be blind
Mad dog 20-20's king
I drink that stuff and start getting obscene
Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man
I gotta scream that's what I am
All the way all the way
Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned
All the way, all the way, all the way
I'm a motorcycle man
Don't never give a damn
I lie when the truth serves better
The Marquis De Sade
I cheat and steal and rob
A Heavy Metal Creature
Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man
I gotta scream, that's what I am
All the way, all the way
Cause I'm a mean mother fucking man
Riding the wind and know I'll be damned
All the way, all the way
Demolition, mission-man
The old boy is hating me
I've become the one, they warned me about - oh he's gonna die before me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
nothing to lose
Oh I am one
18 bloody roses, each a year that bled my soul
18 and numb, I'm somebody's son
Mama, look what I've become
Will he take me down to the gallows
And kill the boy inside the man
I'm just a rock and roll nigger
I know he don't know what I am
I don't see my face in the mirror
And more, or understand
Why am I the chosen one
I'm the crimson man
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
The tarot is fate, said the Gypsy Queen
And she beckoned me, to glimpse my future she'd seen
She said, do you see what I see?, be careful to choose
Be careful what you wish for, cause it may come true
When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool?
Will it turn up sorrow? If it does then you lose
I'm the lost boy can you help me
Yeah, I'm the lost boy can you help me
Then the illusion was real, a crimson idol I saw
But the higher he'd fly, then the further he'd fall
I'm the lost boy can you help me
Yeah, I'm the lost boy can you help me
I just wanna be, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
The crimson Idol of a million
I just wanna be, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
The crimson Idol of a million eyes
Of a million
A scream unlocks the cage
The roar's rock the stage
Hunger of animals are calling
Thrive upon the rage
Paw prints on the page
The roam's going wild, walls are falling
Lights shine illumination bright
Reveal all the madness here tonight
Welcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us
Electricity to burn
Amplifiers churn
Three ring madhouse calls the action
It's life upon the road
Insane asylum grows
Night after night, the main attraction
A strange world that you might wanna know
When it comes alive - crank up the showWelcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us
Welcome, I bid you welcome, to life
Inside the electric circus

Inside the electric circus
Hang on, hang on for your life
The animals are all insane - God help us

I'm the tin man, But I'll make you a star
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, but I'll make me the star
I don't know where I'm going, but I can't wait to get there,
All I know is, I'm just going
I ran away from home last night, gone forever
I was running for my life
And I've heard the words of what I should be
Live, Work, Die, I am the orphan of the night
Take me down, I'm coming home, the road to ruins
Inside the pleasure dome
Take me down, I'm coming home, arena of pleasures
Where I belong
I'm in the eye of my rage, where no hurricane dies
I'm in the eye of my rage, where the hurricane lies
Oh, a storm's in my eyes
And like the beast that's in my soul, I'm the restless child
Ah mama, I'm running for my life
I was sixteen going nowhere, will I see seventeen alive
And I was running from the nightmare
stand at the promised land with fire in my eyes
I'm at the crossroad of my destiny and desire
Oh, God, what will I be
And my obsession is the gasoline to feed my fire
Oh it's burning in me
Don't waste the tears on my wasted years
Mama I'm outta here
(3:45)
Thunder pounding my brains in
A six string rock and roll razor
Nobody gonna save me
The whole world drives me crazy
I hate work, I hate school
I got a case of the rock's dead blues
Friday night I'll be raging
Midnight gonna be wasted
Friday I'm raising
Hell, i'm gonna be wasted
Time to party, raise a glass
Tell everybody to kiss my ass
Let me go - Dead or rock, dead or rock
Dead or rock, dead or rock
If rock and roll dies
I'll take my last breath
Rock and roll to deathDead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock
Pass the bullets pleasure dead or orck
Find me a grave, help me dig it
If rock's dead then bury me with it
Dead or rock, dead or rock, dead or rock,
Pass the bullets please dead or rock
To death do us part to my last breath
Give me rock or gimme death
I went away for a whole lot of days
And stripped the soul right outlaw me
Lead away in a crimson haze
The red was rain over me
There ain't no way outta here
I try to scream, I can't even speak
Why am I the only one
I can't get out and I can't go on
There ain't no way out of here
Forever red and I'm never free
Climb the wall, I can't hold on I can't go back and I can't go on
There were faces in the dark and
In me I could not see
The mirror cracked in a million pieces
And so did I cause Johnny's me
I'll fade forever black away
I'll give all my tomorrows for just one good today
I'm numb to feel, don't know what's real
The ghost is killing me
I can't laugh I can't cry I can't see inside of me
Don't know the reason why
I ain't straight
And I ain't high
I'm the ugly in between
Can't live and I can't die
I wanna scream
And I can't win
My life's a living soundtrack
For a human horror film
I can't feel
And I can't love
My mama never showed me how
I never was enough
I can't laugh
And I can't smile
I'll sacrifice my aged elders
To show me how to die
I can't love
And I can't feel
And my mother never loved me
Deep down she hated me
I can't fuck
I can't feel
I'm one bizzare motherfucker
What the fuck's inside of me
I'll kill the beast so to free my soul
And smash the mirrors that won't let me go
Oh if there's a smile that ya see
It's only the clockwork orange that's in me
I curse the darkness impassioned plea
And tear the heart out and watch me bleed
I'll sacrifice my blood for free
To satisfy the vengence that's in me
And bury the mirror that's inside me
Listen to me now
No words, I can say, can describe
How I hate your fucking face
And do you hear me now
You stole my soul with your lies
Your killing zone's where I lie
There you watched me die
You fucken suck
Can you see yourself I lie in my bed
Fantasizing your death
Here I lie
Can you see yourself
And how do you sleep with what you are?
What you turned out to be
Fuck you, kill yourself
You fucken suck
Liar you know I do I wish you well
Liar I died for you I wish you well in hell ...in hell
Hooray for the last of the madness
Hooray for no more misery
Cause I'm in the middle of darkness
Ya see no hope's a dangerous thing
Come on and kill me
I know that's what you want
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, I know that's all you want
Kill me, I know that's all you, all that you want
One way takes away all the sadness
One way take away all of me
You pushed me to a suicide darkness
Gimme some death mama, my name's misery
Come on and kill me
I know that's what you want
Kill me, I wanna die in your arms forever
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, so my tortured eyes
Never see you again
There's hate on face, the last that I'll ever see
As I stare into the eyes of my misery
And I'll leave you with the memory of me
My sweetest revenge lies here in your misery
Hooray for the horror of darkness
Horray for the horror is me
I'm inside on the dark ride of madness
Gimme some death daddy, my name's misery
Come on and kill me
I know that's what you want
Kill me, I wanna die in your arms forever
Kill me, I know that's what you want
Kill me, so my tortured eyes
Never see you again
So I never see you again
So I never see you again
(Blackie Lawless and Chris Holmes)
You see me, a man and machine
All my life, so hungry and lean
Watch me bleed, and I feel no pain
I'm going wild, and slowly insane
Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
One fast lane, on top of the world
Balls of steel, mechanical pearls
I pay my dues, and suffer alone
Feels like hell, and cut to the boneMantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
Be careful now
Because what you wish for
Just may come true
If you look
Behind that door
Mantronic, I'm on the loose
Bionic, my neck in the noose
Mantronic, I'm still the king
Bionic, half man and machine
So you wanna know what's going on
When we get wild, and we're up until dawn
The parties and the stories, they're all true
Ain't nothing left when we're through
One distant land where it's all sin and sand
[REFRAIN:]
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're goin' for bust
We live a life, that's hell of wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in
[REFRAIN:]
Sodom and Gomorrah - ooh, sweet Gomorrah
We're the present tribe - the present tribe
Children of the fire - of the fire
Burning up alive, alive, alive, alive
[REFRAIN:]
You say you don't wanna run and hide
A face that no-one knows
And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
You hold your fist up high,
And rule the zoo
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out
I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
You say you don't wanna starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't wanna beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin me
Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out
I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I want shiny cars and dirty money
Lotsa rock and roll
I will live in fame and die in flames
I'm NEVER gettin' old
I wanna be somebody,
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I'm gonna be somebody,
I'm gonna be somebody
Hell hound!
Hot leather on your legs,
They're smoking power kegs
Your ranting on means
It's hell bound!
And you're the one they claim
Is going down in flames
You're acting in Hades grave
Hellion! The devil's hellion in town
Hellion! We'll never have to die!
Well, child,
You're sweating and you're stoned
They've got to knock you down
Makes you crazy all night!
You're in never ending pain
And drink the devil's rain
You're screaming out your name
Hellion! The devil's hellion in town
Hellion! We'll never have to die!
The Gods you worship are steel
At the altar of rock and roll
You kneel,
A slave who forever rocks
His tail in the devil's locks
A slave like the bloody exile
Hellion! The devil's hellion in town
Hellion! We'll never have to die!
A thousand years I've roamed the plains
And waved the hand of doom
I've seen the tears that fall
Like rain from the waste and ruin
A shadow's cast from me to you
A time to claim
All that's mine, my wrath is blind
The balance is where you hang
I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
I'm the WidowMaker
The cries of sadness never heard
Fall deaf upon my ears
The stench of madness, raging wars
I've seen a million years
The smell of sorrow fills the fields
And lingers in the sky
The littered ground will swallow down
The souls that fill my eyes
I'm the WidowMaker
I'm the Lord of the Wings
Bang, bang, banging in your head
You're banging on the walls
Hang, hang, hanging up youself
You're hanging by your balls
And you, you die but no-one hears or cares
And hope's the rope that keeps you tied in knots
The torture never stops
The torture never stops
Suck, suck, sucking at your life
Your master sucks the juice
Shoot, shoot, shooting at youAnd the hangman's noose is loose
And you, you cry but no-one hears or cares
And hope's the rope that keeps you tied in knots
The torture never stops
The torture never stops
Your masters beat you bloody
Still you're running back for more
And every day, you lay down and play the whore
The torture never stops
Close your eyes, make me last forever
Hold inside, immortal mine
Close my eyes, lay me down in heaven
Embrace my lie, your soul in time
Won't you take me up inside you
Am I more than you can take
I'll be your father's heart of darkness
When you wake
Black blood is pounding drive your
Heart through my stake
Slide up inside you till your
Hearts start to break
Is it taste of bloody kisses
Is it more than you can fake
Feel me deep inside you
Is it your faith that I shake
Forgive me father for your
Sins that I break
My hand to the promise land
Your soul that I prey
Won't you take me up inside you
Am I more than you can take
Hide me deep inside and let me
Be the one forsaken
Won't you take me up inside you
Cause there's no more I can wait
Hold me in your eyes until there's
No more of you that I can take
Take, take, take
Touch, touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial,
And your finger's in the fire.
Look, look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our lie
Taste the love, The lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire
Taste the love, the lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire
I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn
Taste the love, The lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire
Taste the love, the lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
Lady have you known me-
The perfect love machine,
I'm Virgo, My Leo's rising
Venus made me King
That trail of broken hearts
They all belong to me
Magic runs through my fingers-
One touch you'll see
L.O.V.E All I need's my love to sing oh
L.O.V.E All I need's my love to sing oh
tonight
What can I do for you,
Am I your wildest dream
What do I move in you
Am I what I seem
My eyes they lie and you cry
Love brings you pain
And if you try to love me
You'll not feel the same
L.O.V.E All I need's my love machine
An El Paso hellhole couldn't get higher
White lightning moon shine tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on the floor what I said is
"I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes
My eyes, my eyes"
I drank Dallas whiskey, lost my mind
Had high balls in Houston three for dime
Everything starts to spin loaded on gin
I fell out the door what I said is
"I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes"
San Antonio and the West Texas town, El Paso
Corpus Christi and Waco the yellow rose is wild
Raisin' hell in Austin just after sundown
When the Hoosegow police decided to come 'round they said
"Boy what's the matter with you, what you trying to do?"
I looked at the man and I said
"I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind in Texas
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind in Texas
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind in Texas
I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight"
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind in Texas
I'm blind
[Jesse to Self]
There's place where I'm
Oh - with sorrowed lives
And all the souls
Oh - they're wishing they could die
Take me down
And drown this the orphan forever
Ya know I do
Wish away the pain
And wash away my life
Find me down inside a shallow pool
Down a wishing well
No more bleeding
No more screaming tonight
Wash away my pain
Oh - in the well of sighs
For I have no face - oh
Abandoned for all, for all time
[Jesse thinking of his mother]
Why, why am I nothing?
Oh mamma why, why'd you leave me
A throw away for life
Oh - oh why, why am I nothing
Oh and mamma why
Can you feel me there
Oh God I wanna die
[Judah to Jesse]
You'll be so far out of control
You'll be out of your mind
You'll feel nothing, it's taking a hold of you
Won't you leave all your pain behind
XTC Riders, riders out of control
Get you higher, higher oh yeah
XTC Riders, riders
Ain't never going home
Oh, just let it ride
You'll feel my X is taking control
You'll be numb and blind
Come kneel and pray for me, for a little while
To the neon God that's in your mind

Dresses all in black
Are you the chosen one?
I'll get you higher, no turning back
My neon son
Riding the XTC

Narration:
I was born Jonathon Aaron Steel, to the parents of William and Elizabeth steel. I am a Leo, born under the sign of the lion and I was raised in a lower middle class family with only one brother Michael whom I love dearly. He was five years my senior. My father's nickname was Red which I could never understand why because his hair was sandy blond. Nevertheless, the name stuck. So when my brother was born my father became Big Red and my brother Little Red.
I should have known from the first time when I realised their special connection, that I just didn't fit in to my father's plans. And as I grew older the constant comparison between my brother and myself left little doubt who was the image of perfection in my father's eye. To him, my brother could do no wrong and I became The Invisible Boy, the proverbial 'black sheep' and I soon figured out that red and black don't mix. The beatings I received became more and more frequent to the point where I would ask my father 'Am I the orphaned son you would never need'? But oddly enough I worshipped the ground my father walked upon.
My brother and I were a strange mixture, as different as daylight and dark. Looking back, it's hard to imagine we came from the same parents. I sometimes wondered if we had the same father, but I always dismissed that idea as my mother was far too religious, my father as well, to ever even think of such a thing. But my brother who had always sensed my parent's instilled insecurities tried his best to encourage me. For I was born different and he knew it. He often told me when I was born an angel flew over my bed and christened me with a magic wand and said 'You shall be the one.' And I had no idea what 'The one' was, but as I grew older I began to understand. Most boys put their mother on a pedestal and worship them like the Virgin Mary but with her too my relationship was different and not for the good. She was opinionated, uneducated, sometimes prejudiced, overbearing, believed everything she read, true or not, and when it came to religion was over-zealous to say the least. A mind boggling combination but she was pretty, very pretty and I would often wonder, bordering on complete confusion, how a person of this description could rationalise life.
This was a series of characteristics that many times in my life I would look back on in bewilderment and the women I sought after when I was older would be nothing like her. In the pain of youth, the misery of my neglect, would manifest itself in many ways; depression - my enemy, fear - my friend, hatred - my lover, and anger - fuel for my fire. These four characteristics of my personality would become the guiding force of my life and would control everything I did or was to become. I shall explain later in the story about them which I call my Four Doors of Doom.
The mirror, the great plaything for man's vanity. The mirror was to become, at times, my altar of refuge and other, my alter ego and its magnificent obsession with a relentless pursuit of attention. It served as a chilling reflection of my own wretchedness and my greatness. It was the one place I could go to see inside myself, to find love, in an otherwise loveless household where I could be great, where I could be anything or anyone I wanted to be - one hundred percent pure escapism until I discovered its precious secret. The mirror lives, it breathes, it talks, it lies, it has a personality all its own. It is a genie that grants all the wishes you could ever dream, at least in my case - all except two.
It was my 14th birthday, the day that changed my life forever. My brother Michael, the one person who was my guiding light, my friend, my hero, was killed by a drunk driver in a head-on collision. He died instantly. I couldn't even bring myself to go to his funeral. My agony was so great I just couldn't come face to face with him that one last time. My failure to attend intensified my parents' resentment for me even more. But from that moment on, nothing seemed to matter, especially that living hell called 'home'. For one year after his death I roamed the streets in a fog barely conscious of anything or anyone. I discovered alcohol, and girls, drugs and in general a life I had never known which was exciting, frightening and wonderfully dangerous. And it was then as I staggered through a down town city street in one of my drunken rages I stumbled across a small music shop and in the window stood the instrument, the fiery tool that would become the object of my new found desire. The instrument of my passion, my obsession, the blood-red six string. It was like I'd known the thing all my life.
I soon found it was the only way I could truly express myself. It was a way to vent all my frustrations and all my pain - completely opened all my Four Doors Of Doom and I found myself going to the mirror for counsel less and less. Because of this my songs seemed to write themselves and I knew my destiny was in my music but I was going to have to get out of this backwards town I was in if I was ever going to succeed. I was 16 going nowhere and the only thing my parents knew was 'live, work, die.' And if I stayed there that was exactly what was going to happen to me - I was gonna die. So I ran away to the big city with the lights, excitement and danger and a chance for me to finally live and do my music without the persecution I had known for so long.
I hitchhiked all the way with a suitcase in one hand and my guitar in the other and as I stood at the edge of the city the magic of the place was incredibly intense. It was to be my new home the place I would call the 'Arena Of Pleasure'. I lived and struggled in the arena for two years trying to get a break in music and make a record and that's when I ran across a delightful business man named Charlie. He had been a lawyer for 25 years before he discovered he could fuck over more people in the recording industry then he ever could in a court of law and he was the president of one of the biggest record companies in the world. The music business to Charlie was nothing more than a sacrificial lamb to be led to slaughter and the weapon of choice was his record company that he'd wield like a mighty sword. The great tool he would lovingly refer to as 'The Chainsaw'. The morgue, Charlie said, was the music business where everyone sells out. Where all the artists will eventually whore themselves to commercialism, the place where the music comes to die. And through him I learned everything I needed to know about the music business and even things I didn't want to know. He said he could make me a star, one of the biggest things the world had ever seen. The big time was calling and I was on my way. He introduced me to an aspiring young manager named Alex Rodman and together we took on the whole fucking world and kicked it square in the ass.
Just before the release of my first album I was sitting on the steps in front of my apartment when a gypsy woman passed by. She stopped and asked me if I would like my fortune read and I had never had it done so I was more than happy to say yes. She revealed a deck of Tarot cards and began to tell me of my past in which she went into great detail about the pain of my youth, my brother and my parents. She saw my present with my great struggle to succeed and fulfillment of my dreams and new found happiness but after about ten minutes she stopped and I wanted to know of my future and pleaded for her to go on and finally she spoke. She showed me a very disturbing vision of where I was going. I told her that I wanted a phenomenal wealth and fame and in the cards she saw a fallen hero and looked at me and said 'Be careful what you wish for - it might come true, for the face of death wears the mask of the King of Mercy.' I asked her if she was sure of what she had seen and with a blank stare she turned and walked away leaving me with the cards and a haunting that would follow me the rest of my life.
Success agreed with me with amazing ease. The more records I sold the more excess I had of everything - friends, money, women, cars, houses. It was at one of my nightly hedonisms where a flash individual entered the room. He introduced himself as the Doctor. I asked him what kind of doctor and he smiled and said, 'meet my friend Uncle Sam.' The mirror that was once on the wall, my alter ego, was now talking to me from the table and the next three years were a blur. Drugs became the new candy and alcohol became the new Coca Cola and Doctor Rockter was my new best friend and I never heard the mirror speak again until tonight.
I was at the peak of my career and the world saw me as I had always wanted it, The Idol, the Great Crimson Idol. Now I had everything it seemed, everything but the one thing that would have meant more to me than anything. The pain that manifested itself into my obsession, the acceptance of me by my father and mother, who I had not spoken to since I had left home.
One morning my manager Alex came in and broke up one of our nightly Easy Rider Parties. An Easy Rider Party was when everybody would come over to my house, the band, the doctor, hot and cold running women etc. And we'd watch the movie and do everything going on the film only a lot more. And he threatened to leave me if I didn't clean up. It was not that he cared about me as a person he was only interested in my talent and what I could do to further his own career as a true showbiz mogul. But it was then I realised just how far things had gone. So I sat there alone in my palace of pain and I was just numb from the alcohol and the drugs but equally as intoxicated by my own fame and I had just enough courage to pick up the phone and dial the number. My mind went into a whirlwind thinking of what would happen and the fear overcame me and I started to put down the phone but before I could a voice at the other end rang out and it sent a chill through me that I had never known. It was my mother. It was hard for me to speak, my heart pounding out of my chest but when I did I did the best I could. She was very cold. But I knew the shock of suddenly hearing from me after all these years was overwhelming and I was hoping that all the time that had passed would heal the deep wounds between my parents and me but...I desperately wanted them to approve of me, to accept me - it was all I ever wanted. I hoped my success would finally prove my worthiness and they would welcome the prodigal son home. All I wanted was for them to be proud of me but less than 50 words were spoken. The last four were 'We have no son.'
Some wounds never heal and mine had scarred me for life. A great star fell from the sky that night and with its descent left a scorched path in its way - a great path of self-destruction before burning out. And on this night the great finale is finally here. 'Be careful what you wish for - it may come true.'
Long live, long live the King of Mercy.

You're all deceived for love
You don't know what's in our hearts
This is our time, we've made our mark
And can't you understand, we'll fight till we fall?
But what do you want to do?
The time is right for you
To stand on your feet and answer the call
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command
A thousand times I had this dream, the flag was high I heard a scream
That cut through the still of the night just like a knife
But that was yesterday, the darkness has gone away
I stand on the edge, and I pledge my life
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command
The destiny that I control will sever
And break the bonds and set me free forever!
Stand up, for the first time, and shout it, woah-oh
The last command is heard across the land
Stand up, for the first time, and cry out, woah-oh
Hear the call we are, the Last Command
These fits of depressions are torturing me
The lives that I seen won't breathe again
A sad child of madness, they'll never be free
Born again to die, the agonies begin
And soldiers keep coming- like warriors they die
But gangland's alive when mothers cry
Cause hate's blind addictions, a killing machine
And it burns on the fuel of shattered lives
Lost child, lost child
The seeds of all evil are sown in their minds
And harvest the sad fields of woe
Cause dead boys are martyrs
That live on forever
But now it's too late for their souls
Standing on sanities too fragile edge
And worship the Lord Of The Flies
And wade through the slaughter
You've made of thy brother
And drown in his blood then when he dies
You see in their eyes they're the lost child
See in their eyes
You see in their eyes they're the lost child
See in their eyes
Don't turn out the lights
Cause there's demons in the night
And they prey on the fears in us all
They hide inside and wait
And they shun the light of day
The screams in their dreams fill us all
Children of the night
Such a sad tune they rhyme
The bloody boys that sing a wicked song
And for all of them they're just memories in the wind
Rise and see
It's the dawn of insanity
Keeper of the gates of fire
And the Heretic has said
You don't have to be afraid
Till I- till I come to get you
And child in time
On the swords edge you ride
And cast a spell of Heresy
And die in vain
Like a wild dog in chains
And no one can save
Or set you free
Father come save us from this
Madness we're under
God of creation are we blind?
Cause some here are slaves
That worship guns that spit thunder
The children that you've made
Have lost the minds
This monster that we call the earth
Is bleeding
Cause the children have been
Left along too long
This thing that we've made is fat
And feeds on the hate
Of the millions that it's taught to sing
The song
The headless children
The screams that fill the night
Fill the night fill the night fill the night
Oh the headless children
The madness steals the light
Steals the light steals the light steals the light
Time bombs in the hands of all the wicked warbabies
Light the fuse of temptation and we all burn
Four horsemen sit high up in the saddle
And waiting are ride the bloody trail of no return
Sleeping in the arms of a nightmare and
Wake to find we've been away too long
This Frankenstein of flash
Stitched together back from death
And preying on the souls of everyone
The headless children
The screams that fill the night
Fill the night fill the night fill the night
Oh the headless children
The madness steals the light
Steals the light steals the light steals the light
Jonathon
The tarot is fate, said the Gypsy Queen
And she beckoned me, to glimpse my future she'd seen
Gypsy to Jonathon
She said, do you see what I see?, be careful to choose
Be careful what you wish for, cause it may come true
When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool?
Will it turn up sorrow? If it does then you lose
Jonathon to the Gypsy
I'm the lost boy can you help me
Yeah, I'm the lost boy can you help me
Jonathon
Then the illusion was real, a crimson idol I saw
But the higher he'd fly, then the further he'd fall
Jonathon to the Gypsy
I'm the lost boy can you help me
Yeah, I'm the lost boy can you help me
Jonathon to the Gypsy
I just wanna be, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
The crimson Idol of a million
I just wanna be, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
The crimson Idol of a million eyes
Of a million
Will ya let me learn you something
Oh I will, indoctrinate your mind
Wont ya let me be your love your mother
The greatest of all time
On your knees confession your obsession
I'll dominate you dark
I gave you hell to take you to heaven giving you
Star spangled hearts
In the time end oh you've learned nothing my brother
Teacher to your kind
Oh independence one [won] you nothing but a
Sudden death in overtime
Salute the flag's oppression your blessing

Than all you fucking beggars all ya put together
I'm uncle Sammy's son
I will be your teacher baby
I will be your flame
Slide to reach you maybe
I won't know no shame
I will be your teacher preacher
On your knees and you pray
Father of your addiction, tell me
Am I the one that you'll blame
Just a little bit west of old Pasadena
Is the place I go, I call it home for me
Call it what you will, Tinseltown for real
It's the open edge where the debutantes run free
Hollywood, California, Rocktown USA
Cruising down the stirp is where I'll be
At the Rainbow bar and grill
I'll drink till I get my fill
The home of the movie stars is where you'll find me
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
It's paradise on the faultline tonight
Everybody's lost in the land of Disney
Ecstacy and Sister Misery
Save your soul boy, but not to the stars
Ha ha ha
It's the land of the twenty four hour party
And my fist firmly wrapped around a fifth of Bacardi
On the Sunset Strip's where the orphans play tonight
So if you wanna get really rude
Jus come on down and we'll get crude
Cause there ain't no place like here
Baby I mean nowhere
Cause in here's the land of sun and sin
All the freaks here gonna let you in
The shooting stars and the poseurs are gonna be there
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
Desolation Boulevard I ride
Gimme gimme home on Sunset
It's paradise on the faultline tonight
Think about the sorrow you brought
Think of all the horror you made
Lying to a world that you wrought
Dying for the world, oh that you made
Johnny get your guns
You'll need all of those prophets you pray
Oh yeah Johnny get your guns
I've come to kill the god that you made
I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
Stone cold killer's what I am
Your widowmaking ones come
You can't hide
I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
I got a heart breaker in my hands
Yeah here I come
You're gonna die
What'd you get for the souls that you bought
The bloody dead in the trades
Don't never blame the souls that you lost
Upon the whores of Babylon that you laid
[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]
Your lying messiah you know isn't real
How will you die for the one that you kneel
Better get your guns
I'm gonna kill your god
My God will kill your god
Paint a shadow on my heart
In shades of ebony
Paint the sun out of the sky
That rains over me
Black sun, rain on me
I need one, black sun
Rain on me, rain on me
Tie me to my blackness there
Where I'm ever free
Taken to the dark edges of
My wicked memories
Paint my soul in indigo, and ebony for me
No colour seen in my eyes, none in my eyes
I'm naked in my misery
Emotions stripped to bone
I see inside the heart of me
It's still not black enough for me
No colour in the heart of me
No colour run in my veins
I hold the black to my breast
It bleeds over me
I can't go on till I get off
For me it's still not black enough
With darkness gone, my fear is seen
My fear is real, my fear is me
Touch, touch in the flame's desire
Feeling the pain's denial,
And your finger's in the fire
Look, look in the candle light
See in the flame of life
And my spell our lie
Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire
Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire
I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn
Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one
You're sleeping in the fire
Taste the love
The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
You're sleeping in the fire
Show me once more, I cannot hide
Cause I am here now but I'm lost inside
Voices I hear but cannot see
Cause I will never be free
No good, darkened through, I walk this line
Skin walk my darkness, skin me alive
Two in me we can see who we are
Take me and rape me alone in the dark
Two inside there's a scream in my ear
Skin walk my head ain't no way out of here
Is there no corner where I can hide?
To suffer in the silence of my mind
Two in me we can see who we are
In my dark cranium
No good, darkened through, I walk this line
Skin walk my darkness, skin me alive
Two in me we can see who we are
Take me and rape me alone in the dark
Two inside there's a scream in my ear
Skin walk my head ain't no way out of here
Oh try to scream but I can't speak
Silent tongue of deceit
Oh the torture don't stop
My head's chained to the rock
Can you help me?
When I awake dreams have closed my eyes
Dancing shadows, black in my mind
It crawls my skin where I cannot see
Will I ever be free?
Two in me we can see who we are
Take me and rape me alone in the dark
Two inside there's a scream in my ear
Skin walk my head ain't no way out of here
Oh, look out, here comes trouble!
All my life I've taken what I want
Give an inch, take a mile
Always on the hunt
Ooh- sex, money, fast cars, never get my fill
I ride hard and die free
Paying for my thrills
Firewater moonshine going to my head
Me and my pistol's loaded
Go out and knock 'em dead
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
Cock it and let 'er rip
Hot sweaty steel, a woman's fingers on my gun
Pull it hard, touch the trigger, squeeze it when I'm done
Ooh- come woman, touch me, put it in your hand
Take a hold, heart and soul
Honey I'm your man
Cock the hammer slowly, and aim it at your love
Put my barrel in your holster
Like a velvet glove
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
Cock it and let 'er rip
Hot and sticky, here it comes
Emotion you can't tame
Kinda tricky watch it run
Smoking like a flame, flame, flame, flame
Hot and sticky, here it comes
I got the bullets, load it up
Slide it into place
My emotions
Coming down all across your face
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
I don't never miss
I'm gonna shoot it, bang boom
Shoot it from the hip
Got it loaded bang, pull the trigger boom
Cock it and let 'er rip

Stop scaring me-it's bedlam in paradise
Stop I can't see-nowhere I can hide
Scared to run, this monstrous marathon of fear
I run the races with a dark horse to win
Across a finish line of fear
I swim a sea of skin, afraid to drown in flesh
X-generation, revolutions here
Scared to have sex-I don't wanna die
Scared I'll be next-I'm scared for my life
Dying to live, but there ain't no way outta here alive
All we're all scared there's
Nowhere to run-I'm scared to death
Nowhere to hide-scared I'll be next
Oh-stop, stop, stop, stop
Nowhere to run-I'm scared to death
Nowhere to hide-scared I'll be next
Oh-stop, stop, stop, stop
Am I a prisoner of the universe?
Is destiny fixed among the stars?
Should I cry or laugh?
All I know is that
The best time to laugh is any time you can
Life's one big party-thrown here by God
We all get invitations-if we want them or not
It's all truth or dare and nothing is fair
No no no
We're all scared there's
Oh, it's the decade of fear
No way out of here, no, no, no
No, no, no -no, no, no -no, no, no
Oh scream in my ears
Oh stop what I hear, no, no, no
No, no, no -no, no, no -no, no, no
Alright, all of you bloody bastards
Better hold tight
Oh yeah
It's Saturday night
Cockfighting rumbles
Going all night, alright
Tonight
Oh yeah it's cockfighting saturday
And I say Oh say Oh
All right, I'm gonna fuck or fight
It's my way, it's alright tonight
Oh it's saturday night
Oh I'm getting high and I say
Alright so high
At midnight
I'm out for blood and I say
Oh yeah, it's alright tonight
Give me your life
I'll give you mine
Oh a rumbles on tonight
It's do or die
An eye for an eye
Oh it's alright tonight
Spending all my time to make it right
Push me always to the limit
Try to make it better all my life
Living for the music
Every day you're gonna find the way
Every day we're gonna run to the future
Anyway I wanna save the day
Every day we're gonna run to the future
I don't wanna keep on walking around
Looking for my real true nature
Try to make things better all the time
Leaving with the music
The man of steal is
Master of lies
This rubber mother's
Tied to me for life
Heart breaker the snake
He'll do it to you
Oh he's killing me alive
I'm tied to rubber
I'm tied up for life
I'm dying from pain
Let me go
Here he comes I'm hiding my hole
Don't give me your grease
I'm dying for rubber
I'm dying from pain
I'm dying no
Don't give me your love
Get down on your knees
And give me your rubber
The son of Charlie
Morgue of liars
Don't let him get ya
Oh or he'll sodomize you
Ball breaker and raper'll
Do it to you
Rubber man's a fucking liar
[Repeat bridge]
[Repeat chorus]
Why's my blood race
Why I gnash my teeth
Sand man's come here
With his misery
You wrought with pain
As you slash my flesh
Wrath's revenge lives again
Cane killed abel did his brother's deed
Cursed all time
Damned to spread his seed
Pricks to blind
Thorns in my side
Oh, slay they brother's life
I'll kill your pain on the seeds of cane
I ain't no stranger giving love
Don't ya plead
Oh won't ya bleed for me
Hells be raining from above
I'm coming home
Vengence be they name
I'm coming home
Revengeance scream my name
Oh your God's got you dying to be
Oh your marty's in the sand
I'll hunt you down like the dogs that you be
You Armageddon's in my hands
Come to me I'll set you free
Come to me will you die for me
[Jesse to Congregation]
Fall before me
And bring me love
In here we are all pagan
Naked celebrations of
[Disciples to Congregation]
Oh, we are the dark descending
Feel the magic
The never ending son
Oh, we are the lost ascending
Last of Eden
Never ending heathen love
[Jesse to Congregation]
Show me your
Blind submissive love
Paint my name across
Your face in everlasting blood
Won't you come to me
Don't you believe in your god of love
I'm your god you need
I'll give you heathen love
Oh won't you believe
I come to breathe life into your doves
And I'll make you see
Make all believe neon
[Congregation to Jesse]
Change us all forever
Claim us all for life
Take us all to your heaven
Change us all for love
For so long now, I'm racing on in the wind
On this road, I'm moving on
I feel her heat, the desert sun burning skin
Never stopping, always on the run
Ooh, forever all I want is you here by my side
But I can't wait too long, no
Holding me is like taming the seven seas
[REFRAIN:]
I want restless gypsy, all I need
Is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me restless gypsy, to the end
Riding free - is all I need
My spirit's in the wind
Move too fast no never hold me down
Catch me if you really think you can
Feel my touch, two lovers, cry that sound
Never ever knowing who I am
Ooh, I want you closer, baby, don't you take too long
'Cause tomorrow I'll be gone, yeah
And holding me is like holding the seven seas
[REFRAIN:]
Easy rider on the highway
Got the wind in my hair
Come on, you can touch me where I lay
Running free without a care
Come on, restless gypsy, all I need
Is to catch the wind, where my heart's in
And I'm riding in the breeze
Call me, restless gypsy, to the end
Riding free - is all I need
My spirit's in the wind
I live my life like
A shot in the wind
If tomorrow don't come I know
I stole me share of fun for me
Cause I'm too fast, too rad
I'm going wasted when I go
The cost of freedom's never free
It's the deep six it's my fix
It's my best friend
Cause it's my way, or the highway
I tell ya it's the living end
I'm a rebel in the F.D.G.
And I say only God in the heaven knows
I'm a bad child, come and love me
And I say oh, yeah
I'm a rebel in the F.D.G.
And I say only God in the heaven knows
I'm a bad child, come and love me
And I say oh, yeah
If you're fast ya might last
Show ya gotta go
A wild one in the decadent zoo
Ooh, I lick up all my seven deadly sins
Cause I'm too hot, too cool
I might burn, but I'll burn in the wind
It's the deep six it's my fix
Cause it's my way or the highway
I'll tell ya what I am
Oh I, I feel the heat and I
I touch the flesh and bone
And I feel the kiss of fire
Too fast to live, too fast to die
Mom and Daddy say,'I'm dancing in the fire'
Sometimes I feel like an animal in a cage
I pace back and forth, and look around
For something to sink my teeth into
But nobody knows what's going on inside me.
Come look at me do you like what you see?
If you smash the mirror you'll still not be free
Look in the glass and you'll see who you are
And you'll run but you'll not run far
If you talk to me maybe I'll talk to you
We'll tell lies together but never the truth
Just you and me and I'll see what you do
You'll watch me, and I'm all over you
Come to the mirror my boy
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
A Phantom, I'm hiding inside
Yes I'm what you see
When you see in my eyes
My doctor said listen I'll help if I can
But you're psychosomatic so I'm not your man
The head doctor made me, give you what you need
Some sedation to stop what you see
But no one can help me
I hide in my room, but he moves and lets loose
My Four Doors of Doom
Just let me out, you'll see who I am
I'm controlling the man
Come to the mirror my boy
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
A Phantom, I'm hiding inside
Yes I'm what you see
When you see in my eyes
Don't act surprised
I see what you do
Can't let your....? And kill off the boy that's in you
Trust me you fool
The price that's inside you
Two will kneel
They can't see who they are
A reflection is cast
On a conscience of war
I am the mirror
The plaything of men
The true alter ego
The phantom within
Come to the mirror my boy
I'm the face that you see
When the face isn't yours
A Phantom, I'm hiding inside
Yes I'm what you see
When you see in my eyes
I see your red door and I want to paint it black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Never see the sight of me that changes every day
I want you to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
I want you to paint it, paint it, paint it, paint it black
No more will my dream's eagle turn a deeper blue (handcuffed, handcuffed)
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black
Paint it, paint it, paint it black as night, black as tar
Wanna see the sun blotted outside
Paint it black
Gimme peace, gimme hope
Gimme love, love
Just one life to be free
Just one world live in peace
One love, love
Cause in a sea, feed my soul
Save one world, save us all
One love, love
Lift my hands, raise my heart
I touch the sky, the face of God
Rain all your love down on us all
Show me peace, show me love
I'll still see only one
One love, love
Rain you love down on me
Fill my soul, set me free
Give me love, love
Mississippi Queen - you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen - she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg around Lousisiana way
There's a cajun lady called the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of those dudes where gettin' their kicks
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was gettin mine
Mississippi Queen - if you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen - she taught me everything
This lady she asked me if I would be her man
You know that I told her I'd do what I can
To keep her lookin pretty, buy her dresses that shine
While the the rest of them dudes was makin their bread
Buddy beg your pardon I was losing mine
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of those dudes where gettin there kicks
Brother beg your pardon I was gettin mine
Ohhhhh Mississippi Queen
Look out, Helter Skelter!
Wouah ha ha ha
'Okay, put it up, let's see what we got'
'Man, that one note is a fucking bitch...'
I'm gonna take you, lay you face
Down on my bed
On bloody roses see you smile
Ooh your screaming heart is bleeding
Black and beating loud
You got no prayer nowhere
There ain't noway out tonight
I feel your face embrace the sweat
Fall from my head
My name is vain and flames you cry
Ooh and your bloody lips you raise to kiss
Away goodbye
You wicked bitch I'll take you
Take you away and make you mine
I'll make you cry for mercy
I'll make you cry out loud
You're gonna lie and curse me
Hurt me, burn me now
Gonna make you cry for mercy
Nobody never gonna hear you now
I'll make you mine but first I
I'll make you cry out loud
Out loud
Ooh out loud
Ooh out loud
I heard the rhythm
I was rocking at two
I had the Rock & Roll Blues
I had a vision
Down at the crossroads
To give the Devil the news
Gimme a name
And all the hell I can raise
No I had nothing to lose
I wanted fame but now
The price that you claim's oh
My soul be given to you
Cause I won't make no deal
With the Devil tonight
No I won't make no deal
To give him my life
Cause I won't make no deal
With the Devil tonight
No I won't make no deal
To give him my life
I got a pain and I
I got a band
The road to paying my dues
A million times he shoved that
Dotted line at me
To sing away my Blues
Oh, the pen he had
Had my blood on his hands
For all Eternity too
Don't sell your soul to
No Rock & Roll Crossroads
He'll come collecting his due
There ain't no deal
No there ain't no deal
No deal no Devil here tonight
There ain't no deal
No there ain't no deal
No deal no Devil here tonight
No I won't make no deal
Oh, tonight
No I won't make no deal
No tonight
Turn loose the lightning metal hawgs
And set me free
Turn loose my crying metal hearts'
1200 C.C.
Cold steel forever I'm gonna ride
And burn the flame
That breaths the fire - breaths the fire
And can't be tamed
Thunder rolling down the highway
These wheels of fire eat you alive - them
Outlaw riders going my way
A Harley child until I die
Maneater - born free I ride
Maneater - wings of freedom
Born the line for metal minds
Run to the scorching desert sun
V-twins will scream
Into the blackness of the night, at twisting speed
High on the hawg I'm riding on
Engines explode
It feels like thunder it's breathing fire
It rules the road
Milwaukee metal on the highway
These wheels of fire eat you alive - them
Outlaw riders going my way
Only the strong here will survive
Maneater - born free I ride
Maneater - wings of freedom
Born the line for metal minds
Them bad boys riding on forever
When they die they ride in Harley heaven
Maneater - born free I ride
Maneater - wings of freedom
Born the line for metal minds
Maneater - born free I ride
Maneater - wings of freedom
Born the line for metal minds
Where you gonna turn to
Burning Bush's lie
God he's listening to ain't mine no
Big oil is wicked master
Slave god of gasoline
Ride the Armageddon mile
Sow your seed asunder
Kill you for a smile
Knead your beast and watch it rise
Feed your children to the
Halibutron war machine
Game is fixed and you're all blind
But still to get along we gotta
Long, long way to go
Oh, oh, oh no nearer to God we gotta
Long, long way to go
You sing a bloody song, you gotta
Long, long way to go
Bastard, bloody bastard
Bastard, bloody bastard
Rolling down the highway, going to a show
Stopping on the by ways, playing rock n roll
Getting robbed, getting stoned
Getting beat up, broken boned
Getting had, getting took
I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock n roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
Hotel motel, make you wanna cry
Baby's on the hard sell, know the reason why
Getting old, getting grey
Getting ripped off, underpaid
Getting sold, second hand
That's how it goes playing in a band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
Gotta tell ya
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll
It's a long way, it's a long way, it's a long way
In the Shuffling madness of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all time loser, headlong to his death
He feels the piston scraping steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train that watched her go
You know he couldn't slow down
No he couldn't slow down
He sees his children jumping off at stations one by one
His woman and his best friend in bed and having fun
Crawling down the corridor on his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train that watched her go
No he couldn't slow down
No he couldn't slow down
He hears the silence howling catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideons Bible open at page one
I thank God he stole the handle and the train that watched her go
You know he couln't slow down
No he couldn't slow down
Get your forehead into my kiss
Embrace me, careful darkness
All my love fades away

The target is me, a monster you flee
I hate what you say and you do
A mirror is there and look if you dare
The fool that you see's only you
Oh, no, you won't nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
No kingdom reigns over me
Despise all the liars I see
Don't give me your
'Save my soul' cure
[REFRAIN:]
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive
Can't understand, the lord of the land
Your heart and your head made of stone
Lay in the sand my blood on your hands
For God's sake just leave me alone
Oh, no, you won't nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
Restless is all I can be
Ruthless and reckless you see
I don't need your
'Save my soul' cure
[REFRAIN:]
Force suppression, that's what you do
Feel me, what's in it for you
Listen, I'm on to your game
All your lies are the same
[REFRAIN:]
Guess I've been bad all my life

That my momma said I would get
And all us dirty devils there

Yeah I know that I should have learned
if ya play with fire ya burn
No deposit, no return
On my life
Oh, but there's a party down in flames
and I got no time to waste
No I ain't feeling no pain
Too high to die
Oh, I'm getting - high on the flames
Oh, I'm gonna - Ride on the flames
Oh, I'm getting - high on the flames
Oh, tonight
Too high to die
I hear the motor running
Burning up the road
Tail-pipes-a-draggin'
Fire in the smoke
And I say 'Hell yeah!!'
I say 'Hell yeah!!'
Ooh she's a monster
Take me on home
This ain't no joyride
Do you wanna go?
This ain't your Daddy's Oldsmobile, no!
I hear the beast a-coming
To get another load
Of fire and brimstone
Do you wanna go?
And I say - Hell yeah!!
I say - Hell yeah!!
Ooh it's a monster
Rolling me (on) home
This ain't no joyride
No, no oh
Do we get a driver?
You bet your ass we do!
Tonight - It's all over now
Ooh, Hell's just one mile down the road
Goodbye - it's all over now (so long)
My Helldorado's goin home
Take me to Hell
Cause I'm going there
Hot rods to Hell
Helldorado
Take me to Hell

Oh don't you cry
To your God for mercy
Oh woah you're gonna die
Like a shot from my gun
You're gonna burn, burn, burn
Yeah you're gonna burn, burn
[Repeat chorus]
Now I lay me down
A crown of thorns falls from my head
My lord you see my knees I fall
There's never been no time I ever been denied
Almighty lord
Ooh, God in heaven gonna give me
All I want
It's all right, all right, It's all right, all right
It's all right, all right, It's all right, all right
It's all right, all right, It's all right, all right
I'm a chosen one, I'm Lazarus
Rising from the dead
My bloody feet and knees I crawl
And my tithes he give me seven times
Gonna give me all I want
God in heaven gonna give me
All I want
My God's gimme, gimme
All the heaven's blessed
And everytime give me everything I prayed I'd be
My God's given to me all the heaven gives
And everytime give me everything I believe I need
I'm politically incorrect and damn proud of it
I love my country but I'm scared to death of its government
Ya believe what you read cause
it's all that we give ya
Cause all of history is written by winners
I'm engaged in a frenzy of mass self-destruction
I feed upon your famine to fuel my corruption
I'm wholeselling hatred and international incest
To carnivorous hyenas in a global theft fest
I've mastered the arts of death and foreign nations genocide
And those who turn on me commit national suicide
I'm the queen of the global dream
And I rule a declining nation
I sit and watch all the violent screams
From the throne of your desperation
I killed them all and stole their land
Enslaved the blacks and slaughtered the red man
In God we trusted and I gave birth
To would be kings to rule the earth
I have more pigs than I have tits to feed
I embrace the world's phoney leaders
And hold the sucklings to my breast
And I'd fool you all as I'd feed ya
I'll prop you up then strike you down
And lick your blood up form your ground
Humpty fuckin dumpty
My empire's falling down
Breakdown, goodbye America
So long the music's died
Freedom's last hero's wasted
I made you, I'll break you
Breakdown, goodbye America
It's all gone, kiss it goodbye
There on bloody bended knees where
My nation died
The tarot is fate, said the Gypsy Queen
And she beckoned me, to glimpse my future she'd seen
She said 'Try to run away, don't know what to do
Do you feel it's real do you believe it's true?
When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool?
Will it turn up sorrow? Is there one there for you?'
For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me
For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me
Illusions are real, and the dreams that you feel
I'll come back to you and voice the scream in your ear
She said 'Try to run away, don't know what to do
Do you feel it's real do you believe it's true?
When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool?
Will it turn up sorrow? Is there one there for you?'
For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me
For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me
A mind of its own, spawn out of fire
The demon becomes a God
A child, two-faced and innocent
Transcending
Control, fragments of nothing
Enslaving, reversed humane
Empires made out of nothing but air
Creation fails
Hungry he laughs at us all
Sacred is noyhing no more
In the eyes of the dead, at the edge of the night
In an oath of blood we are sacred
In the eyes of the dead, still nothing revealed
The wounds they still bleed, and won't heal
Blood in the sands, slaves to the hunger
Heaven denies them all
A god, a dome for its pleasures and lust
Possession
The falls prophets of nothing
Promise but take it back
The one, the futile and venomous son
Will torture
YOU STAND OUTSIDE the circle lonely
Here in darkness' eyes
Are the lives realized all the same
Or are they magic of mind
Ooh if I leave
Will I - be here again
Ooh what remains
Is Evermore in the wind
Do the shadows of my memory
From a long ago time
Lead a path to the other lives of me
Souls of past great divides
Ooh, give me wings
Will I be here again
Ooh and its embrace
Is in the arms of the wind
And only those who stand within
Can hold the keys that let us in
But if the magic in us dies
Ooh then the souls within us cries
Beyond the wall of tears we wander
Evermore in the wind
Beyond the wall of tears we wonder
Will I be here again
The magic of the circle lays
Somewhere between the dark and light
The magic circle never dies
Ooh, Evermore winds of change
Will I be here again
Ooh, will I rise on my wings
Evermore in the wind
Ooh, am I ever the same
Will I come back again
Ooh, give me wings for my change
Evermore in the wind
Oh will I come back again
Ever free in the end
Ooh, will I be here again
Into the arms of the wind

My mother was a douche bag
My sister was a douche bag
I guess that makes me one too
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues
Lord I just don't know what to do
I sold dynamite to the Arabs
Bullets to the Jews
Whiskey to the Indians
And I'll get you too
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues
I got the douche bag blues
Lord I just don't know what to do
Vinegar and water
The drink that I choose
I gotta tell ya brother
Tastes like pussy juice
Time flies when you're in a coma...
[Judah to Jesse]
There's a new world
I see it, coming here after you
If you knew where
And when it was coming
Maybe you'd know
Know you're through
New world, it's all been changing
There's nothing you can do
It's a new time
Disciples arranging
The Pay-Per-View end of you
You were forewarned
I'd betray you for everything
That you'd do
You're leaving this world
Don't let me stop
Your destruction of you
Could you do more
Oh, if only someone
Ever loved you
you could've been someone
The world's waiting
Oh, testament of your truth
New day
A new world is coming
No Resurrection's due
Oh, well give'em tickets
To the crucifixion
Oh, the last of you
Goodbye my Neon Dion my Darkness
My Neon God of Eden's so blind
Because I wish away all of your sorrows
I wash my hands of your life
Ain't nothing that can change a thing
Nothing can blame your death to be
Nothing can change our destinies
To come
Destinies to come
Destinies to come

[Judah to Jesse]
It is getting hard
For you to be
God of broken light
Will you be the martyr
Can't you see
We'll follow you for life
Come and walk on water
Let'em see
The Chosen One's Alive
Won't be their father
Don't you see
They all believe your lies
Are you coming back
To the black where we hide
Are you coming back
I'll make you larger than life
Judas and Jesus we're
Prophecies here for all time
And with a kiss and the our
Destinies are sealed for life
[Disciples to Jesse] Come back to black
[Judah to Jesse] Oh no don't you do it
[Disciples to Jesse] Come back to black
[Judah to Jesse] Where you gonna go

[Judah to Jesse] Come back forever
[Disciples to Jesse] Come back to black
[Judah to Jesse] Oh, the Prophet's home
Oh yeah, here I go again
Trading my sould to the night - but it's
Alright, I got no pain tonight
My demon alcohol's alive
Oh no I can't stand
Trading nine lives for tonight
But it don't matter much
Cause I don't give a fuck
Hell on wheels I wanna ride
But tonight
No I can't die tonight
Maybe I'll live forever
I just can't die tonight
Tonight
No I can't die tonight
So high I'll live forever
No I can't die tonight
Whiskey bar superman
I don't give a damn
Oh it's alright
I'm too numb to stand
And I don't give a damn
Oh too high to die
Can't die tonight
No, no not tonight
Can't die tonight
Oh no tonight
Listen to my heartbeat when it's calling
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Listen to my heartbeat when it's calling out for you
You're playing with my mind. (Boom boom boom)
It's tearing me apart. (Boom boom boom)
All I wish we'll never part. Never be apart again
No never, no never
Boom boom boom boom boom, my heart, my heart
Boom boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom boom
Listen to my heartbeat when it's calling...
You keep on fooling around (Boom boom boom)
Your love is hard to find. (Boom boom boom)
All I wish we could be together
Always be together forever and ever, and ever
There's red in my head but I don't want it
The blues were swarming there in my soul
Shadows over me and
The only colour I can paint my soul
I want black and don't fade away
I want it black forever
Inside of me, all I wanna see's
The colours in my head
I'm in black the only way
And make it black forever
Go inside and go inside and
Never come back out again
Don't colourize me
Cause I don't want it
The ravens taken over my soul
The only thing I want is
The only way I wanna go
The reds were in my head, the blues were in my soul
Swirl in my mind, never let go
Blind my eyes with a cold embrace
I'll lay my veil all across my face
Everyone I used to know
Sees me strange, sees me bold
Everthing I used to hold
Will fade away my soul
No confessions and no regrets
I'll paint the black all across my chest
Gimme darkness and gimme rest
Gimme blackness or gimme death
You hear
The cries of love
The sad tone
And feel the softly stinging
Love's wound
But, those tears you cry
Being of love's fame
They fall to love
Crying like a sweet rain
Cause bad girls
They do...
B.A.D.
BAD! Make your mommy and daddy say,
B.A.D.
BAD! It's the bloody fix you do
Oh look out!
You see what it's in your head
Only what you see
And need
But you can have B.A.D.
Call a spade a spade
Only if you want to
Cause by any other name
It's taboo!
Case bad girls, they do...
The bloody fix you do! Yeah?
B.A.D.
BAD! Make your mommy and daddy say
B.A.D.
BAD! Don't it drive your women mad!
Wow!
One woman down my street is too hot for the average man
Hard to handle, a fire in her eyes
Wants the hot rocks right in her hand
I know she's burning, hot with love
A come-on look and she ain't fooling
And she knows just what it does
She gave me a number to make me feel fine
Said call me up baby
It's gonna 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Ooh - no mama's baby, this child
She's a killer wrapped in high-heel shoes
Touch the skin - it burns like fire
I don't even care if I'm being used
Threw me down and then she tore off my jeans
She said, come on, babe, I mean business
I'm gonna show you what liberation means
Do it to me baby
I'm losing my mind
Said call me up honey
Tonight I'm 9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
N.A.S.T.Y., you're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
Some bad habits are hard to break
Like an earthquake coming
I got to shake, shake, shake
9.5. - N.A.S.T.Y.
You're everything I need
'Cause I want what you're giving
I'm yours to do with what you please
I can't take anymore
I have no more wings
I can't take anymore
The gates of heaven sealed
Don't you hear me
Don't you hear me
Don't you fear me
Of never coming back
Do you know what it's like
When heaven's hung in black
I can't take anymore
Our walls are black and bleed
I can't take anymore
No rooms here for your screams
Don't you hear me
Don't you hear me
Don't you fear me
Of never coming back
Oh, no more tears please
Hanging heaven black
No don't you leave me to die
Don't you leave me to die
Don't you leave me to die
No don't you leave me to die
And you'll know what it's like
The wailing wall of sighs
Hanging heaven black
And you'll know what it's like
When paradise is blind
When heaven's hung in black
Time – How can you say
That I've no time
Am I blind – now you say that
Heaven's blind, yeah
Across the bridge of sighs, blind, time, time
Oh lord, don't you leave me to die
No, don't you leave me to die
Don't you leave me to die
No lord, don't you leave me to die
And you'll know what it's like
The wailing wall of sighs
Hanging heaven black
And you'll know what it's like
When paradise is blind
Painting heaven black
Across the bridge of sighs
Your losing heaven's light
Heavens hung in black
I got pictures of naked ladies
Lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts a-Swelling inside my head
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy
I f*** like a Beast
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I'm on the prowl and i watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepsskins clothing
I lick my chops and your tasting good
I do whatever i want to, to ya
I'll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya
I f*** like a beast
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
I come round, round i come feel your love
Tie you down, down i come steal your love
Come ride, savage seduction
Ride, ride, ride
Hey, hey cowboy, hey cowboy
Ain't I seen you hanging around the nashville?
Didn't you used to be a packy back in the west end?
Is that right, is that right?
Well I see you been through so many changes
Heavy changes
I can't say I'm hip to where you're coming from
I can't say I hip to where you're going
Well I see something's growing in the back of your mind
I give you the willies
You don't like my kind
But I can sing like a jingle
Sting as bad as any
Hey, that you? is that still you?
You're looking mighty new wave
I hardly recognize you with that shish kabob through your face
But that's all right, yeah, that's all right
I guess you're trying to make a statement
You been out on the street
Looking for somebody to carve on
Well you can ramble,
Just don't go carving on me
'cause I don't mind the fashion
I've lived with your mind
I dig on the passions
The rest is just crap
I can sing like a jingle
And sting as bad as any
Hey, don't I know you?
Ain't I seen you before?
Yeah, you're the one doing a pyramid party
Down in marina del ray
With their spoon and friends
Still going through them changes
You got your pants full of money
And your nose in the air
You're a record producer
I don't really care
'cause I can sing like a jingle
I always figured
That I'd be free
Born to a white family
I'm white
Anglo
Saxon and
Protestant
And I ride
Through the night
Concealed in white
By the crosses light
White
Anglo
Saxon and
Protestant
And I ride
Through the night
Concealed in white
By the crosses light
Soon we wont have
To hide it anymore
We can put the
Swastika above our door
We are the
We breed materialism
We the Earth for all our worth
to our last breath
Like the doggie
White
Anglo
Saxon
Protestant
And we'll ride
Through the night
Concealed in white
By the crosses light
They're white
Anglo
Saxon and
Protestant
And they ride
Through the night
Concealed in white
