I was so frightened
I almost ran away.
I didn't know that I could do anything I needed to.
And then a bolt of lightning hit me on my head
Then I began to see I just needed to believe in me.
Now I
I believe in me
And I
I believe in something more
Than you can understand
I believe in me.
Listen I
I believe in me
. . .
They said I didn't stand a chance
I wouldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
there's nothing I can't do.
Ain't no pretending
ain't no make believe -
Well
I've got to be the one
I gotta do what must be done.
'Cause I
I believe in me
. . .
Well
you know that I
I believe in me
. . .
I don't need no money
I don't need nofame . . .No.
I just need to believe in me and I know most definitely.
Don't need to get wasted
it only holds me down
I just need a will of my own and the balls to stand alone.
'Cause I
I believe in me
. . .
And I
I believe in me
. . .
I believe in me
I believe in me
[Instrumental]
I am anger
Under pressure
Locked in cages
A prisoner
The first to escape
I am wiccan
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one
Chorus:
I - I - I
Everything that I see is for me
Yes, I am giant
I'm a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don't try it
The power's in one
Chorus:
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But the knife can't cut the hero down
I am virgin
I'm a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I'll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You'll never
Be stronger than me
Chorus:
I - I - I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I - I - I
Don't follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed
( No, no , no )
I am hunger
Feed my head
All together
You'll never
Never make the hero bleed
I (Bad Brains Cover)
Not as much but with such intensity
I'd like to be what they would not want me to be
I like to cram their chivalry inside their guts
I'd like to leave it all behind with the rest of the nuts
I... I...
Not as much but with more feeling now
I'd like to forget about you and try to break it somehow
I'd like to push it aside until I can see some more
I'd like to leave you where I found you liyin' on the floor
I... I...
I guess it's too bad, I guess it's too bad
I guess it's too bad, too bad for you
It seems the truth always prevails on your face
And in the end I see what's in it's place
So in the future you just may see
That what you'll receive is
What you gave to me
I came from a place I forgot
I woke up in a parking lot
Far from a meal and a cot
On the corner
Where all the streets got the same name
Maybe my brains on the brink of insane
Pain between the papers while sleepin' on the train
This the land of milk and honey
Know what I'm sayin'
The invisible man times three black, down and out
Out standing on a corner no doubt
Now a nation of homeless sleepin' in bus stations
Another win for the pilgrims who said no more Haitians
As I proceed someone to feed me is what I need
Through three blocks of dealers tryin to hit me off wit weed
Avenue and boulevard hungry as a motherfucka
Hope to get a ride from a trucker
Everybody know I ain?t no sucker
Everyone used to drop 30 at the rucker
Away from crazy kids in generation wrecked
Dissin' pyramids while praisin' projects
Walk past old folks gettin' no respect
Callin' young folks a bunch a no good rejects and I walk on
An eye for an eye I can?t recognize the man in the mirror
Is it I, it is I now who this cat I'm lookin' at
'Cause I've been waiting so long to get where I'm goin'
An for an eye in this country tis of thee
Now how the hell can I be free
Who this cat I'm lookin' at
'Cause I been lost so long without anybody knowin'
So I move on and I walk on
Past the preachers and the pimps gettin' their talk on
Now why do home gotta be where the negative roam
To be or not to be so I roll alone
I'm trapped within this skin and these bones
Temporary kings on cellular phones
Can I last as I walk past
Cigarette billboards and malt liquor ads
Walkin' on broken bottles and potato chip bags
Everyone I see got the nerve to brag
Where they from what they got and don?t own squat
Disrespect where they from and ya might get shot
Zombies askin' me what the latest bomb be
Should shot the fuckin' sheriff and the fuckin' deputy
For okay in the drug trade and lettin' it be
But I know prison for me is an industry so I walk
I heard the best things in life be free
Didn?t god make the land the air we breathe
Not for the homeless don?t give a damn about me
In the mirror somebody else is starin' at me
Maybe prison is the skin I'm within
All this time I been sufferin' can?t fix it wit a bufferin'
Plus they said I'll never work in this town again
Damn so I keep on walkin'
An eye for an eye, I can?t recognize the man in the mirror
Is it I, it is I now who this cat I'm lookin' at
'Cause I've been waiting so long to get where I'm goin'
An for an eye in this country tis of thee
Now how the hell can I be free
Who this cat I'm lookin' at
'Cause I been lost so long without anybody knowin'
Li'l day day is big day and just did time
Seen him standin' on the unemployment line
Which collided wit the line of the health clinic
I seen crazy Stacy her ass standin' up in it
No more welfare cut her Medicaid
Damn my mama used to do her braids
I keep walkin so they don?t see me
But I doubt if they doin' any better than me
So I walk on never take the planet for granted
I paved the concrete, asphalt and granite
I walk past 3 brothers sittin' on the porch
Wit a yard of dirt and littered wit Newports
Talkin' how they comin' up while they sittin' on their ass
As I walk past em I'm a target of their laughs
And one said lets get 'em for his fuckin' stash
As I walked fast past the other yards wit grass
Had a li'l cash tried to make it last
From a few deals I made from cleanin' windshields
I ran like a rally they caught me in an alley
Can?t get out the ghetto from New York to Cali
I thought I had nuthin' till I felt the knife
All hail, hail me back
feel my aim look through me now
come to me, fly in me
get on the top and throw it down my soul
I burn it all here comes the sun
Ask your goal to lead your dream
stay on the line speak the truth
walk my path bright and clear
I lead your soul I send you through
send a prayer to those who felt
Peace & Love in der Welt
read me well between the lines
for I'm what I meant to be
forgive me now
forget me not
hold your fight
take that light
we don't need another war
let shine inside what we send you here
all I heal, heal me back
let heaven shine on all my sins
turn the wheel move your will
to where your wish is guided to
just wait for a while
till what you ask comes down your way
Ask your goal to lead your dream
stay on the line speak the truth
walk my path bright and clear
I lead your soul I send you through
send a prayer to those who felt
Peace & Love in der Welt
read me well between the lines
for I'm what I meant to be
Woke up this morning and you weren't there,
The only scent was your perfume in the air.
How could something come and go so fast?
I guess this was just a one night romance.
I, I loved you
I loved you true,
I loved you and you and you.
I, I remember
I remember you,
I remember when we fell in love.
And when I look into your eyes I realize
That you're the only one for me.
You, you make me smile,
You make me cry,
You make me see how love is meant to be.
And when I look into your eyes I realize
That you're the only one for me.
Yeah yeah
I, I loved you
I loved you true,
I loved you and you and you.
I, I remember
I remember you,
I remember when we fell in love.
And when I look into your eyes I realize
That you're the only one for me.
Only one, only one for me.
[Chorus]
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
[Verse 1]
While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherf-cker
I was enraged, feeling it like a motherf-cker
Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
Went out separate ways, but I was happy she was killing it
Bittersweet, she was up, I was down
No lie, I feel good for her, but what do I do now?
Forget the records
Off the record, I was going through some bullshit
Post-survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bullshit?
Meanwhile, this nigga putting his hands on me
I swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry
[Chorus]
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
[Verse 2]
And it’s almost been a decade
I’m behind them black shades
Roll up like it’s all good, right up out that escalade
(Lyrics - Tucker, Music - Azagthoth/Tucker)
I am the void of light, silence, I am the dawn of time
I am the all you see, emptiness I am the non
I am the air you breathe, treachery, I am your wine
I am the soil and seed, mundane, I am the in between
taste of my knowledge
come bleed me weak
of my force feed
drink of my power
breathe of the mist dine upon divinity
from the earth and wind
our return is now
forever and now again
our voice is one
voice of the ancient ghosts
now your chains are stripped away
I am the void of light, silence, I am the dawn of time
I am the soil and seed, mundane, I am the in between
taste of my knowledge
come bleed me weak
dine upon divinity
from the earth and wind
our return is now
now the chains are stripped away
we're keeping busy yeah we're bleeding stones
with our machinations and our palindromes
I am seeing tunnel vision in a world thats dark and cold,
I cannot believe how much I've changed since the days of old,
I know it's temporary but I need to focus straight,
I cannot believe I lost control of my fate,
I need forgiveness from the people I truely care about,
I need support behind my back to help me spit it out I am gonna win,
I can't afford to blow this one,
I hate myself sometimes,
I love myself,
I need this way of life because it holds me.
contradictions the way of life happiness is wealthyness is healthy
now I've made it through those lies and deceit,
I think whats done is done and I can't complain anymore i am sure,
now that I've found myself again it feels great I can't believe
That day I said I was going fishing well
I lied
But I did manage to pull my head from
The water
And watched as all my stupid ideas poured
From my eyes and my-y ears
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo)
They ran downstream and picked up steam to rise
Through the sky
Forever become the clouds that come down on
My saddest days
When I'm reminded that it was my bright idea
To leave you
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
All I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah) Now I'm baiting a
(Ah, ah) Tongue to be flung around town
(Ah) In hopes of finding
(Ah, ah) Someone on the way down
(Ah) Now I'm baiting a
(Ah, ah) Tongue to be flung around town
(Ah) In hopes of finding
(Ah, ah) Someone on the way down
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
And all I did I did
(uh-huh-huh-huh-hoo, hoo)
I-this fractal illusion burning away all structure toward the obscene.
I- to cleanse, to purge, to breach eternity and smother all life.
Blind- these mortal men of clay, divine and dying in their harnessed form.
I-this furnace of limitless hate.Bestial, pure.
The pendulum swings semi-attached to the centre of all
I drug these minds into ruin and contempt -the acid smoke of burning souls.
This is an anomaly.Disabled. What is true?
Not destined for incarceration, I crave my nothingness.
The illness that they whisper of, is that what makes me fail?
I see through the eyes of the blind.
Not clear what it is to be this self I dread, the immense, the rabid I am.
The cogs turn, grinding away at ceaselessness-willing it to dust.
Re-disintegration. Convulse. A dead universe-Impales this twilight.
Fear aligns.Sadistic me. Meant to devour.Despair.
Sickened by the fact that immortality is not mine to have.
A snail along a straight razor-dividing itself through motion.
I charge this feeble product of god.
Laughing, drenched in the bile of millions.
Chewing on the stinking flesh of the crown of creation.
Solitude is splendor has been rivalled.
Shrouds stained with tarblack vomit.
Veiling the rotting eyes of the masses.
The strain of armageddon evolves.
Shifting through worlds from chaos, to chaos, to chaos.
I devour this manure of existence -infertile, barren, whole.
Rancid redeemer. Virulent deterioration of faith.
Sacrilege in persona. In truth, fundamentally twisted
A witness to this savage carnage. A frenzy of animosity
The will to mutilate. Dominant deviation
The worship of the sick and degenerate will spread
I - The nihilist, not the lunatic
Ridding my godlike being in doubt
Obliterating all hope of escape
I - Enter the echoes of despair
Miracles inverted by default, a reflex to devastate
Soaking in the will to violate, to castrate
Soiling the purpose of mankind. Deus ex machina on hold
The orgasmic, the splendid, the beginning of the end
Conception derived from misconceptions
The dimensionless features of truth
Silence in the core of undoing
Untie its knots and set it loose
The inertia of my existence is clear
Premutation of slaughtered worlds
I alone will behold the dying sky
A servant of eternity
Progress finally, emergence of doom complete
Here only to reverse the flow of life
namida wo fuite kaze wo kanjiteiru ho o hirogete
kumo no kire naka ga hikari no KA-TEN o sora ni kazaru
jikan sae oitsukenai hayasa de KIMI to kakenuketeku
fuki areru kanashimi no naka de yuru ga nai kokoro o daite
toozakaru chiheisen o se ni sailing to the universe
itsumo tonari de hohoemun de kureta ne shiki no naka de

tada, tsuyoku daremo mita koto no nai keshiki mitai to negau

Not as much but with such intensity. I'd like to be what they would not want me to be. I like to cram their chivalry inside their guts. I'd like to leave it all behind with the rest of the nuts. I, I. Not as muich but with more feeling now. I'd like to forget about you and try to break it somehow. I'd like to push it aside until I can see some more. I'd like to leave you where I found you lyin on the floor. I, I. I guess it's too bad, I guess it's too bad. I guess it's too bad, I gues its too bad for you. It seems the truth always prevails on your face and in the end I see what's in it's place. So in the future you just may see, that's what you'll receive is what you gave me
I am the wind that tears your sails
The broken cross rejecting nails
I am the holy crucified
Yet sinful are my lusts and pride - I
I am ashes I am dust
I'm always held within disgust
Don't follow me for I mislead
Yet all these words you never heed - I
I'm the junkie with a gun
Pushing people's opium
Floating round the universe
I'm driving in my cosmic hearse
I'm intrusion I defy
I am immortal, never die
I am to take you hell and back
The one to break you on the rack
Suffer torment anguish pain
I'll violate all your domains
I am lies and I am truth
I am the portent, I am youth - I
I am the future and the past
Except the now which cannot last
I am Death Church, I am peace
Yet never granting sweet release
My betrayal burns your pain
For I beget you, you become me
You are, betrayed
Yet you still want to play the game
You're victim, you'll expire
Feeding life and all desire
Your life, your pain
Searching for your eternal gain
Flesh is weak, but still it calls
You who makes your own flesh crawl
Covet, your soul
You will never have your own
Thoughts betray and falsify
(? Si non credideritis, non intelligetis?
Isaiah VII: 9
L'Ange Albe)
? Everything, except God, has in itself some measure of privation,
Thus all individuals may be graded according to the degree
To which they are infected with mere potentiality?
Was there not an inconceivable loss of knowledge at Bethlehem?
Christ's abasement, His subjecting Himself to the laws of human birth
And growth and to the lowliness of fallen human nature...
Did the Son remain the transcendent Logos,
Is there not a radical and fatal discontinuity between the consciousness?
Of the transcendent Logos and the secular Jesus?
Obedience to the point of death,
Falling down through increasing
Pressure
Into the deathlike region
Of ooze and slime and decay
These are the fruits and symptoms of the abasement of the World,
The assumption of humanity and the simultaneous occultation of Divinity
(Immaculata
Du wirfst mich in den Moderstaub des Todes)
? And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist?
Triune God,
Morphed into a Being of apparent theanthropic nature
Deprived of the Light of Splendor
Dost thou still stand in undiminished Majesty
After the exinanition of divine attributes
The face of profound fire gone astray,
Exhaling austerities in concealed, divine radiance?
Kenosis, O' theory of great peril!
Blinded, sanguineous eyes and with a trembling hand,
A frail androgynous being holds the perilous doctrinal balance,
Robed in a maculated garment spattered with the sordid blood
Of the Flagellation, of the lacerations and fierce wounds
Carved by royal attributes, of the crimson spurts
Dripping without end,
As was celebrated the High Mass of the Comforter
Kenosis, O' theory of great peril!
Rob God of any attribute and fill the shattering universe
With the pestilent scent of putrefaction and the glorious cloud of death,
For steadfast, at any cost, He must be
Solely the incarnate Word proclaimed by all the prophets and apostles
Would have, in dying, an infinite value,
Sufficient to atone, by His astonishing work,
For the Sins of the world
Res rapta...
Res rapienda...
Hast thou succumbed to the original malady?
? For being empty himself, He giveth empty answers
To empty enquirers; for whatever enquiry may be made of Him,
He answered according to the emptiness of the man?
In visceribus...
A willing expiatory Victim, calling constant shame and ignominy upon itself
Was thine irretrievable substance still intact in this Sinai of global Penitence,
Dost thou remember thine past Theophanies, the burning bush
And the Angel of the Lord?
(Et vestitus erat veste aspersa sanguine
? Le fond de ma pensée est que dans ce monde en chute toute joie éclate
Dans l'ordre naturel et toute douleur dans l'ordre divin?)
? In the next place, it never approached an assembly
Of righteous men; but avoideth them,
And cleaveth to the doubtful-minded and empty
And prophesieth to them in corners,
And decieveth them, speaking all things in emptiness to gratify their desire...?
Art thou working on collective deliverance?
Observe Merkabah, the chariot of the glory of God
Adrift and exiled, the Pilgrim of Light, grandiose and weeping
Thine aura, compared, is but pale and frail, alike to the one of an ailing child...
Vacillating faith, thine salvific virtue shall fail to make nil
A cataclysm of Judgment
The suffering of the Just shall be aggravated in grotesque proportions,
Pillaged, ravaged, overthrown
The realms of warmth and reassurance, of a maternal womb,
Shall disappear gradually under the crumbling yoke of Sin and Time...
The advent of Plerosis is the destiny of Man and shall shatter up to the Heavens,
A savage aperture to the High Mass of the Comforter:
? Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed,
Not only in my presence,
But so much more now in my absence,
Contigo sufrio
Conmigo vivio
Y con tus mentiras
Llenastes su vida
De desilucion
No le hables de amor
Ya no sirve un perdon
Tu tiempo ha pasado
No vengas pidiendo
Una explicacion
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Eliel!)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
Y tu la hicistes llorar
Yo la hice mujer
yo soy tu hermano, no te quize ofender
Y aunque el tiempo pasa, hoy te toco perder
Y si en realidad tu quieres saber
Aqui fue usted quien fallo
Y a ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
Entonces dime que diablos le hicistes
Como pudistes, como tanto la heristes
Y aunque te duela que soy yo
De quien tu mujer se enamoro
Da la vuelta sin tu explicacion
Que a ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
(Oooh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh...)
A ella quien la vio llorar fui yo
I’m all alone
Holding on to memories while you’re moving on
Let me take you back to when we first said goodbye
Cuz I need you
I try because all that I can do is hope that loves enough
To pull you close enough to hold you, I’ll close my eyes
And I see you
Even when the sky falls and I’ve lost it all I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I’ll keep looking cuz I know I will find you
there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there
So tell me why
Why you want a world between us
Let me try I know you know this time I mean it
Say you still care and you need me
So where’d you go
Something in your voice that says you’re not alone
Do you remember when I said I’d always be there
Believe me
Even when the sky falls and I’ve lost it all I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I’ll keep looking cuz I know I will find you
there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there
We’re timeless, we're fearless, we're always gone, we're brilliant, we're
broken
We’re burned and on
Even when the sky falls and I’ve lost it all I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I’ll keep looking cuz I know I will find you
there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there
Even when the sky falls and I’ve lost it all I know I will find you there
Even when my heart stops I’ll keep looking cuz I know I will find you
there
You know I will find you I'll find you I will find you there

I said its hot as hell a nigga need some lemonade
Bump it its 2000 a nigga needs some Minute Maid
Go head and act up get cut with this switch blade
let down through the breakthrough
i travel as i hunger for the darkness below me
when i'm praying for the light above
to save this soul inside me
should i? would i? could i?
outcast from my own kind never knowing
soaring through my own mind never knowing
how could they live with what their doing
twist of my spine
oh god fuck
i don't get it
breathe with me
just breathe with me
it's up to me as i hunger
lay slow and still as i wonder
pray for darkness down in this hollow
but i try to grope
it's up to me as i sleep again
my body lays down as i holler
it's all inside but i confess in me
Look at my behavior
I can't help myself
One feet before the other
Hope you didn't notice
I'm fourteen days ahead of you
In my head you're already mine
I hope I don't seem
Like the desperate kind
Sometimes I, melt I
I don't know where to put myself
But I'm not alone, 'cause right outside
Still people just falling in love, yeah yeah
I see you're looking
But are you looking my way
I'd like to think so
I can only say
Sometimes I, melt I
I don't know where to put myself
But I'm not alone, 'cause right outside
Still people just falling in love
Some other time, some other place
Well maybe I'll show you my real face
Sometimes I, melt I
I don't know where to put myself
But I'm not alone, 'cause right outside
Still people just falling in love
Sometimes I, melt I
I don't know where to put myself
But I'm not alone, 'cause right outside
Come with the raising,
Of you.
Two years ago in the woods,
Saw a branch,
Fall in the brook.
I'll lead you, i'll lead you,
To your throne.
But it's up to my knees now,
Build me up, for the breakdown.
And i carried this all for you,
And you know i did.
And i bottled it just for you,
And you know i did.
Taking hold caught a rash,
Well I remember all that she said to me
How it made me a tongue twisted mass
When she told me of her leaving
Four years she was not to come back
So don't go can't you feel me breathing
I'm still standing beside you
My heart is shaking
What am I suppose to do
Now I scared because of lonliness
And fragile through despair
Fear that in her solitude
She'd find someone new for whom to care
If just to forge my smile i could spindle my happy lies
Lies I'd have to tell over and over all the rest of my life
Cause my existence now lies in solitude
And anger a constant trend
Though i have rubbed elbows with friendship
It was a lonely life in the end
So as i try to pass words of wisdom in the hope
That you migh prevail
Grab on to what you hold dear in life
Another bullet shots a victim
Someone is taken to his grave
I never be a hero
It's becoming harder to be brave
Everyone seems blinded
How do I feel myself from pain
The more I think about it
As I slowly go and say
Say...
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
I, I don't let you take me down
I, I ain't gonna lose my mind
I, I lose myself inside the underground
Don't you ask me I can't save the world
Remove the mask you wearing
I wanna starr into your eyes
I'll never be a plaything
You look so lovely when you lie
Continue until deny me
Can't escape the voices in your head
Try to think about it
Look for the monsters you have feared
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
I, I got no answer to take me down
I, I ain't gonna lose my mind
I, I lose myself inside the underground
Don't you ask me I can't save the world
I'm going in circles around in my brain
I'm trying to find my direction
You're breathing the live out of me
(8x) again
I, I don't let you take me down
I, I ain't gonna lose my mind
I, I lose myself inside the underground
Don't you ask me I can't save the world
I, I don't let you take me down
I, I ain't gonna lose my mind
I, I lose myself inside the underground
Don't you ask me I can't save the world
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
I cannot live don't wanna die
In this region the winds whisper a rumour of a being
A hermit banal, with a mind frail as his frame.
When he speaks it is in violent bursts
And insects recoil from his voice.
He speaks to the trees
for they are the only truly living creatures on this
earth.
They share his misanthropic view and converse on wild
topics
They are both arrogant, the tree digs it's roots deeper
as the soil rejects it's clasp
And the hermit deeper animates the notions of the world,
as the world casts him into the abyss.
"I respect you because whether in drought or flood
You always seem to grow, and expand the length of your
skeletal branches
They claw at the sky and reach out to strangle
The exiting order, the prevailing lie.
I draw influence from your stubborn attempt
To steal the watery lifeforce of fellow nature for your
Up on the seaside
Gaze down at the waves below
Standing so strong and high but my
Spirits so low
What now for a warrior?
Cry out in the burning light
I’m feeling the fire but I
Can’t find my fight
So where is the glory
Who sings my name
Like heroes before me
Proclaimed
From the horizon
The sun now speaks to me:
You’re just a simple man and that’s
All that you’ll be
Your courage is foolish
Forget those dreams of fame
No triumphs await you so just
Find a new way
Silence you bastard
I know my way
Into the ocean
Away
Perfect water
Silence in waves
Quiet as a grave
Enter darkness
Take a deep breath
My destiny is death
And so it is done
I am the one
[Petey]

Granddad in the field pickin beans and corn-corn
Mama never saw that a star was born-born
Mama said star go mow that lawn-lawn
I said its hot as hell a nigga need some lemonade
Bump it its 2000 a nigga needs some Minute Maid
Go head and act up get cut with this switch blade
Nigga you better pay attention what the hook say
Turning the page I can see fearfully in your mind
Your weapon of choice is deception
It's working just fine
Well, it's easy to say we will fight to the end
When you sit in your hole afraid to defend
Every life is at stake, fucking including yours
On the wall is your face, watch it fall to the floor
Oh, it's your destination
Oh, prime time sensation
I don't care about your religious nation
I refuse to give my life for free
I was born, I am my father's creation
But when I die I'm going to die, going to die
Die for ME!
Prowl in your home through the waves of a digital time
In a blink you appear, moving in for the kill
What a crime
An inconspicuous was part of the web that you weave
I'm impressed with the fact that you made ‘em believe
You're looking out for our backs as we head to the front
It's not so easy mother fucker when your under the gun
Oh, it's your destination
Oh, prime time sensation
I don't care about your prestigious nation
I refuse to give my life for free
I was born, I am my father's creation
But when I die I'm going to die, going to die
Die for ME!
(Spoken words)
Solo
Oh, the famed won't save us
Oh, release the shameless
I don't care about the fate of all nations
I refuse to give my life for free
I was born, I am my father's creation
But when I die I'm going to die, going to die
Going to die, going to die
Going to die, going to die
Die for ME!
I've got nothing
Left for you to take away
I know you blame me
For every time you walked away
So what you hate me
And everything I seem to do
So look back
Don't turn away
It was my face that you
Were lying to
And in our lives
We could find
Everything just separates
And in my live
You could find
Everything you want to take away
So what its not the same
Every word out of your mouth is shit
So look back
Don't turn away
It was my face and I am through with it
Why its all its old
And every part it takes
I know your faith
You give but take another way
So what you hate me
And everything is seem to do
I know that you blame me for everytime
I walk out on you
I've got nothing
[Bonus track on the ukrainean version of the "Goat Horns" album]
No defence against the indefensible.
The space between words and things is once again total.
No defence against the indefensible.
The space between words and things is once again fatal.
All naming is already murder: serviced muck on the killing floor.
Soft-violence as pragmatic necessity: bullbaiting with the starved dogs of rhetoric.
An arena sport like no other.
Bring on the organ-grinders, carnival barkers, snake-oil paddlers, pork-barreling mouthpieces.
Parceling out concerted blows of categorical reification.
Deep bites with self-confirming payloads.
Live seed for excessive entitlement and a snare for every congenital impulse.
Absent a shot, we are condemned to be at war with words.
The function of representation comes to grief when words lose their connections with things - in short, when language represents itself.
[Mark Poster, The Mode Of Information]
No defence against the indefensible.
The space between words and things is once again total.
I am anger
Under pressure
Lost it cages
A prisoner
The first to escape
I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one
I - I - I
Everything that I see is for me
Yes, I am giant
I'm a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don't try it
The power's in one
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But the knife can't cut the hero down
I am virgin
I'm a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I'll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You'll never
Be stronger than me
I - I - I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I - I - I
Don't follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I - I - I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I - I - I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed
( No, no , no )
I am hunger
Feed my head
All together
You'll never
Never make the hero bleed
Timid, he was a broken loner
In this ghost town,
And it drained the hate from his mind,
Now there's nothing left inside
Rumors and lies
Are all you've got, they're all you've got, are all you've got
Mother, Father, where have you been?
I needed you,
I needed you
What have we become,
Mere shadows, standing alone, inside and out,
This incarceration is tearing me down
What have we become,
Mere shadows, standing alone, its inside and out,
This incarceration is tearing me down
And, oh, have I become a mere shadow standing alone,
Inside I cry out,
Screaming I make no sound
Screams
He finds,
I'm the one who haunts her dreams,
Her life torn at the seams,
I am the void of light, silence, I am the dawn of time
I am the all you see, emptiness I am the non
I am the air you breathe, treachery, I am your wine
I am the soil and seed, mundane, I am the in between
taste of my knowledge
come bleed me weak
of my force feed
drink of my power
breathe of the mist dine upon divinity
from the earth and wind
our return is now
forever and now again
our voice is one
voice of the ancient ghosts
now your chains are stripped away
I am the void of light, silence, I am the dawn of time
I am the soil and seed, mundane, I am the in between
taste of my knowledge
come bleed me weak
dine upon divinity
from the earth and wind
our return is now
[Hook:]
These nigga don't like me, I don't know why

I know that they plot, I can see it in they eye
But they got me fucked up, they must know about I
I, I, I'm a motherfucking vet, big homie
I'm the one that run the set
I, I, I
I'm the one they call it done
I, I, I

Already a star, fuck I need a feature for?
Already have hard, what the fuck I need a keeper for
I got several cars, on 3 piece swift
I got 7 cribs, I could be where I wanna live
Already a star, fuck I need a feature for?
Already have hard, what the fuck I need a keeper for
I got several cars, on 3 piece swift
I got 7 cribs, I could be where I wanna live
Them niggas a'ight but them niggas is not
But you hearing they voice, they tryina try
I'm a that nigga they tryina be
I'm like the ace of something they can't see
In the streets I am a giant, tryina dust that fbi
Keep baseball rbi, you niggas must not know about I

I'm the one that run the set
I, I, I
I'm the one they call it done
I, I, I
I keep a pocket full of money
Shades cover my eyes, still my eye on the prize
Feet 10 tall, with my eyes to the sky
Robbers wanna try I, but I don't know why
They got some better fight, they must not know about I
But I tell them hang around, aiming for they eye
Oj made em say, ey, I'm a make them say I

deny
[Hook:]
These nigga don't like me, I don't know why
I can see you hate nigga, corner of my eye
I know that they plott, I can see it in they eye
But they got me fucked up, they must know about I

I came from the gutter, I was raised up on butter
On toes I carry that toast while I was slanging that
butter
For the most part of straight out, owe it all to my
mother
Owe it all to my granny, granny was my daddy
I seen my daddy rarely, I don't let that shit determine
I'm a motherfucking hustler, I live these streets they

I'm the answer, the question where that money
Go get a shovel, I done stacked a sack of money
Do you know how much cash I have sitting on
I don't either, I stopped counting that shit in 97
Think I had a million bars in 1997
Ain't gonn quit stacking this shit until I'm 97
[Hook:]
These nigga don't like me, I don't know why
I can see you hate nigga, corner of my eye
I know that they plott, I can see it in they eye
But they got me fucked up, they must know about I
I, I, I'm a motherfucking vet, big homie
I'm the one that run the set
I, I, I
I'm the one they call it down
I, I, I
Now that we don't pay much attention
To what goes up or must come down
We decided not to follow
Apart from that we just don't care
From a decent crowded journey
Into a private desert land
Up-to-the-minute reviewed autonomy
Proof of independent anonymity
When the highest point of individuality
Culminates in loneliness
We reject our identity
And declare all reflections to be wrong
We, as a team of soloists
Are so unlike that we are desolate
Do we get a kick out of it?
This is just organised limitation
Bridge)
Are we strong enough for our egos?
Is there room to give us space?
Ref)
I am on my own
Because I sent everybody else away
No one knows how to take me
Without being told
You are on your own
Because you sent everybody else away
No one knows how to take you
Without being told
We can no longer differ from the mainstream
'Cause we're insisting on a distinct minority
When finally everybody's different
Will we again be the same?
With emancipation-labelled foreheads
We proudly present our disintegrity
No box seems shapeless enough
Well I live a bearable life
and I see your eyes looking down at me on the ground
well I
I live a safe ridden life
I've got to push beyond the walls that bound me keep me surround me
well I
And you cry move up and out beyond
I tried I'm left within alone
I see the things you see in me
I see the things I want to be
You are the things that runs through
You're running through my mind
You lift me, ground me,
Keep me, surround me with you
And I can't stand to see the pain
I cry, can't hear me through the rain
What are these things you see in me
What are these things I want to be
One to another
The circle never ends
One feeds the other
And drives it on again....I cry
So true are the things that you do
What good are words when
Your actions scream the facts in my
ears well
I try, I'm left within alone
I cry, I'm out here on my own
What are these things you see in me
What are these things I want to be
Poarta-a vintului incet deschide, aspru suier 'ncet purcede
Iarna incuiata, codru inverzit.
Alb si negru sa-mpleteste, timpu tainic daspleteste
Picatura pica, piatra sa daspica,
Hora sa-nvirteste, apa daspleteste, ghiata inchegata,
Da vechi timp purtata, din miaz munte da piatra;
Samn ca timpu sa porneste. Dalasine. Si p' ales fagas.
La-ndasitu codrilor, in glasu vinturilor,
Si-n umbra pietrii, chip sfrintat, 'n munte, 'n 'nalt Ceahlau
Ce din gheata inghetata, lua forma ce-i fu data. Vesnic!
Chiparus... prin para si foc, vijelios... joc;
Ca prin foc sa arza, dincolo sa treaca, prin jar si cenusa
Sus pe calea cea apusa, ce-a alesului fagas.
Frati blajini, rohmani! Din aievea fiind, da dupa apa Simbetii,
Dupa brazda lu Novac,
Din scorbu pamintului, al din naltu muntelui,
Muntelui caruntului, s-al bradului,
Bradului, viteazului.
La virfsori da munte, la bradui marunti, la stina batrina,
Unde iarba creste, da-n patru sa-mpleteste,
Cerbu runcului, fiara cimpului, s-a pamintului, agale-n plai coboara...
Toti copaci in calea sa, crengile-s pleca
Coarnele-i margaritare s-impunzatoare
Laganat purtat, spre al tainic loc, fagas.
Cum urzica sa nunteste, sa-nunteste s-nfloreste,
Din intins cuprins da lume, scaun da lege sa aduna
Vorba sa o spuna, raspicat si pentru tati.
Legea bitii si cea fricii. Drept!
Pieptu ursului brazdat,
Da Focu Viu, da dupa Strimba Oilor
In mijlocu poienilor, si-n mijlocu padurilor,
Flacara-i rasfringe, si din foc si singe
Mugur verde da brad, imbucat, insingerat... s-ntrupat... dascatusat.
D-aci, incotro... dincolo...
Fagas!
[English translation:]
Open gates of wind, a whistle slowly crawling in
Locked winter, greened forests.
Black and white are blending secretly untwining time
The drop falls, splitting the rock,
The round dance starts to circle untwining waters; the strong ice
Which has long traveled, from the rocky mountain's heart;
A sign: the beginning of time. By itself. On the chosen path.
At the forest's heart, in the wind's whispering,
In the rock's shadow... a sculptured face on the heights of Ceahlau Mountain
Which, from icy ice, took the shape it had been given. Forever!
Pepper... through flames and fire, stormy... game;
Burned in fire, through embers and ashes, crossing beyond
Upwards on a faded path - that of the chosen path.
Kind-hearted brothers, rohmani! Coming from the real, from beyond Apa Simbetii,
Beyond Novac's furrow,
From the heart of the earth, in the mountains high,
The grayish mountains, and of the fir tree,
Fir tree... the brave!
In the mountains high, through the small firs, at the old sheepfold
Where the grass grows, interweaving four by four,
Stag of the defrosted realm, beast of the fields and of the earth, slowly descending...
The trees in his way they all bend their branches
His goading antlers like pearls
Swinging gait... towards the secret place - the path.
Stinging nettle sprouting, and blooming,
From the vastness of the world a law is taking shape
To utter the word, bluntly, and for all.
Law of the club and of the fear. True!
Furrowed bear chest,
By the Living Fire, from beyond Strimba Oilor
At the heart of the clearings, at the heart of the woods,
Its flame throws back, and from fire and blood
Green fir's bud, gobbled up, stained with blood... embodied... unchained.
From here, to where... beyond...
The path!
I, I, I, iiiii.
What if I, had chosen to,
Make a left, when I should have made a right and,
What if I, followed though,
And chilled with my crew last night.
What if I, took the call and
Stayed on the phone when I should have been gone.
And What if I, hadn’t turned around and seen you there.
If I could go back in time,
To when the stars aligned,
Would I find the strength again to talk to you,
Walk up to you.
If I could do it all again,
I wouldn’t change a single thing.
Don’t need to compromise, what I feel inside,
Don’t need to clarify my position I,
Submit to destiny, so baby come with me,
Let’s take it for a ride,
Baby, baby, I, I, I.
And furthermore, if you’re looking for,
Someone to be around, baby I’m down,
Let’s take it to the point, no need to justify,
Baby, baby, I, I, I.
What if we, hadn’t been,
In the same place that very same time and,
What if we, hadn’t seen, all the possibilities.
What if he,
What if she, Stop!
I don’t want to think about it,
What if I,
What if I,
Ooh, Never mind.
If I could go back in time,
To when the stars aligned,
Would I find the strength again to talk to you,
Walk up to you.
If I could do it all again,
I wouldn’t change a single thing.
Don’t need to compromise, what I feel inside,
Don’t need to clarify my position I,
Submit to destiny, so baby come with me,
Let’s take it for a ride,
Baby, baby, I, I, I.
And furthermore, if you’re looking for,
Someone to be around, baby I’m down,
Let’s take it to the point, no need to justify,
I have these fears you know
To let my feelings show,
My everything.
Am I anything to you?
I've lost the will to speak
And I have no air to breathe
Am I surrendering?
Am I anything to you?
If we could swim like the seas
Or change our colors like the leaves
Would we still want it?
Want it all
We have no seeds to sew
We have no space to grow
Am I uncovering?
Am I anything to you?
If we could swim like the seas
Or change our colors like the leaves
Would we still want it?
Would we still want it?
In I
A moment's space in
I
Oh what are we like
A moment's space in
I
We want our hearts to bleed
I wait for songs to sing
We sell our souls to be
I wait for everything
In I
A moment's space in
I
Oh what are we like
A moment's space in
I

* I let my fantasies fascinate me
My passions permeate me
Breath of God infiltrate me
Creation of course create me
My inner self locate me
The folks I hate'll hate me
That's no one, as of lately
Sporty words illustrate me
Let no man castrate me
Let my low points sedate me
Only deaf ears can negate me
Meditation medicate me
Emcees can not escape me
Planet earth's movements shape me
We revolve and rotate
We want you all to notate the
Way that I flow so faithfully
Lives, lessons landscape me
Accept my gifts gratefully
Knowin' excellence won't wait for me
That's why I'm reachin' up and takin' the
Opportunity that was made for me
No goals can dare evade me
So once my mind is made we
Record to high-quality tape we
Distribute we duplicate we
Stay humble in hopes of safety
'Til I'm
buried, they may cremate me
But let me not be too hasty
Switch it up then cut and paste the
Delicacies, damn they tasty
Interests intoxicate me
My senses stimulate me
And they never get pastry flaky
Not one emcee every ate me
So don't ever underrate me
And with no further wait see
How brilliant Bavu Blakes be
I'm able to speak, thankfully
Pleased when I do, frankly
I undid all the tapestry
From scratch, interwove it innately
Let less and less frustrate me
Smooth despite what used to chafe me
Let my voice box resonate me
God force navigate me
Wanna find me, gotta scrape the
Bottom of the contiguous United States we
Don't take hip-hop so playfully
Not surprisin' we risin'
'Cause it's nearly hot as Hades
I blow this hot air on any man
With hopes to deflate me
And bust out of my shell
For he who puts the South on safety
Make additions to this in two-cent increments
you'll never break me
We figured let's try a different style
And I'll end up pullin' it off greatly
Hold up wait the
Beat just sorta delayed me, basically
My mission in this is to innovate the
Parameter of what rap is
Without havin' to overstate the
I'm into kickin' my own ass
That's a very bad habit
You forget things
It helps that
Kinda like being high a lot
It gives me a..."New York" feelin'
People around just can't seem to catch on
My charismatic ways
They call me a wannabe philosopher
..I don't think so...
I just like to be opinionated
I'm no Confucius, my friends
I feel like a child sometimes
I act on my feelings when I do
I play with words, not always when I write
I'm uncomfortable---nervous---about
Letting people read my work
I spent my time, wasting time, losing time
On a dark day afternoon
Slowly but surely I find I go out of my mind
On the dark side of the moon
Cause no one ever told you it would be this hard
No one gonna break this foolish broken homeless heart
Hold her, I'm gonna hold her
I'm gonna cry
Easy come, easy go
I am who I am and I know what I know
Now I, yeah
I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be just fine
Now I
I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be just fine
You'll see
But I've been bruised, been burned by a light
How can you live with yourself
How can you live with yourself
Cause I don't know what you mean when you say you don't know who I am
I don't care, I don't feel any more, this is not what I plan
Easy come, easy go
I am who I am and I know what I know
Now I, yeah
I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be just fine
Now I
I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be just fine
Gonna ride out on a speedboat
Gonna ride out on the radio
Gonna fix my way possible
Gonna find myself a phone
We're so flammable
We glow we glow we glow
Mountains reach so close to the sun
One love takes you back where you've become
Oh the mountains
Gotta get free like a fat wave
Gotta get free from the circus
There's spaces for acrobats
But the jugglers are done
We're so flammable
We glow we glow we glow
Mountains reach so close to the sun
One love will take you back where you've become
Mountains
We fly so close to the sun
I need the heat of your love
We're falling seems we can't get up
I'm not losing you again
We're a step away from overload
Did you bring any water
We're so flammable
We glow we glow we glow
Mountains reach so close to the sun
One love takes you back where you've become
Somedays we get so far from where we've come
Mountains
Mountains
Mountains
We fly so close to the sun
I ride a wind of no return
My soul is cold my mind burns
I ride my fate with all my hate
This is my search this is my state
I ride a storm of no reverse
My spirit's dark this is my curse
I journey fast this time won't last
My fate is sealed there's no reveal
The storm I ride, again and again
A soul on ice
The storm I ride until the end
I ride a war that's on my own
My will is strong I bow to none
I am my fate I breathe my hate
Into your soul you're in the cold
The storm I ride, again and again
A soul on ice
It shoulda been 2 against the world
It shoulda been you and me removing disease
And once I'm dead you'll be leading the lost to a
better land
And I'm so glad the world is coming to an end
Maybe now we'll grasp each others unloving hands
I wonder were we meant for more, was I meant to have
you at all?
Time is running out, the shit is everywhere, the spread
won't stop
Maybe they're the fortunate ones
The walking dead still walking towards the sun
It shoulda been the 2 of us
You and me removing disease
And once I'm dead you'll be leading the lost to a
better land
We're all sick and dying
(Please don't go, I need you now more than ever)
Gypsies told me, we were soul mates
In a past life but not in this life
(I am cursed and so are you)
Always reaching
never there
Crawling through clay
Shattering old trees as twigs
Calling for immortality
Masters of living
Devourers of souls
Invocating ancestral rites
I command you for eternity
My words will transform life into decay
Already dreaming of imperial
Anthems for me
I will enslave this world made of scum
And I’ll reign from the skies as the blackest astre
I will smother all of you miserable weak
I will be the last king of your history
I will slay you all in intense suffering and
I will spread the plague that all of you fear
I am the child of unending frustration
Broken by life forsaken
By the one I believed and trusted
As those of the same blood
Now they all have to pay
I will break you all I swear
Have made of your life a burden
I will make of your life a hell on earth
Stars give me strength to take my revenge
Astres of light eradicate these lands
I am the father of plagues
He visto a los santos llorar por mí
He visto a los santos llorar por mí
lágrimas negras en estatuas de sal
fuiste lo que me pudo haber salvado
pero preferiste huir, alejarte de mí
Sólo miras sin decir nada
la historia sin principio ni final
los ángeles mueren cuando tu te vas
He visto a los santos llorar por mí
por los errores que he cometido
y yo sólo pienso en tí
Sólo pienso en tí
Mantz-Tucker
Aye means yes to a sailor
Eye in a needle I can thread
I is a capiltal letter
But I have to live in my head.
If I say I too often
Then I hear my vanity shows
In I there is no silence
I must think a thought no one knows.
To find out my identity
I cannot start by being me
But trust your eyes to truth or lies
Can I get by by being I?
I stand for isolation
Eye is the heart of a storm
I must react like my brothers
If I choose that I will conform.
I get lost in the shuffle
When I echo another's choice
So I appear to be sleeping
I survived a busted condom and swam through a douche
And planted myself in fallopian tubes
So I exist as the result of a broken Trojan
And implosion of a supernova's explosion
May tenth, eighty-five, this kid went live
For him to arrive somebody must've died
Cause that's just life, it's all give and take
We're along for the ride til someone hits the breaks
At eight years old, my childhood was sold
For a calendar and custody along the winding road
Told everything'd be all right, and everything was
I was lucky enough to be a product of love
But it's still fucked up.
And every move I moved with em
A year later I turned to Buddhism
Around that time the Hutus and Tutsis
Moved me to action, I found my voice to speak
But then my balls dropped and there came a new directive
Chased girls at school like an elective
Watched religion be a system that increasingly decided
It's the fate of other nations be conquered and divided
That's when I chose to write these 8's and 16's
Manifest dreams I chose to believe
Well anyways, the days of high school came and left
Like K-Fed's 15 seconds on Brit's breasts
I'm clinically insane to the point where they claim
That my brain's got the inmates of Bellevue contained
My mind's bound to change
More often that a senile masochist trying hard to cope with the pain
Most days I try to fight my way outta this conundrum
ButÉilligitamati non carbarundum
Each moment's impermanent so what I gotta do's
Stay true to my octagon path and prove
Nothing to anyone when I'm done the race is run
Against myself and no one else Ð achievements don't rest on a shelf
To be honest, I feel half the things I've done
Have been as useful as finding shade on the sun
When I was young I was aware everything was impermanent
Didn't learn to love the moments which made it worse when it
Passed by now I decided to fly
In the testament to those in the past that died
My last night of rest was when I was a fetus
And if you understood the kind of dreams I had you would believe this
Priorities in life are make music, make love
Take slugs out the barrels of loaded guns in slums
Still there's a lot of things I'd like to be
Momma said I could be anything, turned out that she lied to me
Cause I'd be a porn star in a minute
And marry Micah Moore but I'm not double digits
But I was given another responsibility
So when my veins get charged with electricity
The pen starts to move, the blood turns to boil
When the news shows more poor are stuck under soil
Now I think Bush is a Dick, that's true
But I don't rap about that to try to impress you
I'll never respect you if you do to sound political
I Came From A Place I Forgot
I Woke Up In A Parking Lot

Lil Day Day Is Big Day And Just Did Time

Damn My Mama Used To Do Her Braids
I Keep Walkin So They Don¡�¯t See Me
But I Doubt If They Doin Any Better Than Me
So I Walk On Never Take The Planet For Granted
I Paved The Concrete, Asphalt & Granite
I Walk Past 3 Brothers Sittin On The Porch
Wit A Yard Of Dirt And Littered Wit Newports
Talkin How They Comin Up While They Sittin On Their Ass
As I Walk Past Em I¡�¯m A Target Of Their Laughs
And One Said Lets Get Em For His Fuckin Stash
As I Walked Fast Past The Other Yards Wit Grass
Had A Lil Cash Tried To Make It Last
From A Few Deals I Made From Cleanin Windshields
I Ran Like A Rally They Caught Me In An Alley
Can¡�¯t Get Out The Ghetto From New York To Cali
I Thought I Had Nuthin Till I Felt The Knife
Cross the woods of no return
Embrace the flames awaiting me
Cross the bridge where fire burn
Eternal deeps toward the pass
I'm beyond the darkness gates
Emerged into the shades
Searching for the wisdom of the ages
Crossing the bridges
Woods of passage to the north
Clouds divide an endless wind
Mountains here in fog they lay
Swept by mist all night and day
All majestic, all divine
Shields of wind and light
Locked beyond the shadowed paths
Under heavy skies
Searching for the wisdom of the ages
Feel the flame within my soul
Crossing the bridges of fire
Passing the bridges to the rivers of red
Souls on fire, head by head
Passing the gates to the infernal sky
Knowing the wisdom of all dark and night
Across the woods of no return
Embrace the flames awaiting me
Across the bridge where fire burn
Eternal deeps toward the pass
Searching for the wisdom of the ages
Suffering through all the years
Marching through the gates of fire
New battles on the rise
Breathing in the winds of war
Victorious desire deep inside
Tyrants' wrath upon this world
Bestow the might to throne
Battalions on the fields of war
To chaos we are bound
Nameless cities left behind
High fires in the air
Fear us those whose time has come
Awaiting in despair
Fury swings its blackened blades
From the sky a fire rain
Darkness marches on this night
On pride we fight
With the dying sun we ride
Into the honored age
Searching for the golden past
Bounded deep with rage
Magic moments magic times
Barbarians born to stride
Ride with splendor for the war
Battalions at our side
Fury swings its blackened blades
From the sky a fire rain
Darkness marches on this night
On pride we fight
Stories tel of fallen men
Great victories and fights
And all that rode towards the fields
To conquer thrones and might
Legends brought forward to tell
Tempting from another time
Devoted to the victories
They battled for themselves
Battalions
It's a great day for fire
It's a great day for wrath
It's a warrior's desire
Ride down the mountainside
Blinding days on the desert
Blinding sun in my eyes
Mighty cities before us
Ride with your heads held high
Hungry hordes rode the sands
Into the open fire
I ride through savage lands
For victory and desire
Steel glimpse - waving spears
This hunger's constantly
Passing through the endless world
Where great warriors sleep
From the mountainous regions
Awakens the day
Shining armours and horses
Head to the battlefields
It's a great day for fire
It's a great day for wrath
A man's fate is his own
Emerged from the shadows
Reincarnated by the walls
Into the blackened meadows
Straight into the darkside falls
All souls on fire
Coloured by a bloodred sky
The flames reaching higher
Feel the glimpse of red tonight
The curse of men
Has become our fate
It brought us here
To end our days
Countdown for the walls of time
The age of light will pass away
The storm race against us
A thousands days of misery
All fall in twilight
Burning for eternity
Oh what an age to reign
Blasting flames in the sky
Waiting for that moment
Journey to the other side
The curse of men
Has become our fate
It brought us here
To end our days
Countdown for the walls of time
The age of light will pass away
There's no essence, no future
You wouldn't know what I have seen
There's no essence, no future
Cursed we are - eternally
Fly souls of hatred
Spread your wings across the sky
To the end of the earth
Riding at the speed of light
All end in damage
Mindless voices call your name
Devoted to the darkness
Driven by the force that reigns
Cursed we are to die as men
Beneath the gods of ice and sand
Cursed we are - all
The earth man and sky shall fall
There's no essence, no future
You wouldn't know what I have seen
There's no essence, no future
On days of north wind infinity appears
Against the unknown allegiance of fear
Of pagan wisdoms and pagan sights
We created kingdoms blended by might
All fearless servants
Blind fortunes for the throne
For the ode of glory dominated here
On glorious horses through wide landscapes
Might poisoned the minds of men
From the age of passion
Soldiers of the hand
Under the wrath of the sun
They ruled the kingdoms
And built a new dawn
Dark kings hailed beyond all fate
Above the gates of infinity
Imperiums call the profane
On days of north wind illusions appear
Against the unknown allegiance of fear
Pagan wisdom - pagan sights
Create the vision blended by might
Dark empires beyond all fate
Above the gates of infinity
Clear sights through the depths I ride
Inside my mind the thoughts I hide
I ought to bear my existence
And burn to be...
The visions that was brought to me
Not different from my fantasy
Between two worlds I am
Quested not to be
I ride beyond the realms of the past
I see the sights of what won't last
From the blinding daylight
To the utter dark
The golden winter blows a breeze
Not different from my fantasies
Dark and light far in sight
Quested not to be
Too long I have dwelled in the shadows
Too long I have slept in the shades
Too long I have searched the desires
Release me so I can awake
Stone cold in the soul
With nothing to return to
Between two worlds
Between two worlds
Clear sights through the depths I ride
Inside my mind the thoughts I hide
I ought to bear my existence
And burn to be...
The visions that was brought to me
Not different from my fantasies
Between two worlds I am
Solar worlds open to us
Days are shadowed into the realms
We pass away not alive nor dead
Souls are sleepless eternally
Blackened by lights
Burning a long time now
We leave for the end, damned again
The sun won't heal our frozen souls
Winds are rolling here
Called for the dark
Solar worlds risen from the dust
Days are shadowed into the realms
We fall away not alive nor dead
Restless souls in the deep
The fire is gone
But still it smells
Sky is burning here
Called for the dark
Respect the force
Grounded long ago
We leave for the end, damned again
We won't heal, we won't feel
One soul in the cold
(dedicated to Quorthon)
Far beyond the quiet
Where the gods no longer reign
The ice once formed the landscapes
Into mountainsides and stains
Many miles to walk here
Still so many miles to stalk
A place to be remembered
Still the story is untold
Waiting for the darkness
Lights are soon to disappear
Black clouds in the horizon
Drift away in the open air
A man stands on the hillside
Watching the blackened sky
Memorizing times from another age
Now make his soul and spirit glance like fire
See the ravens fly there
Circling in the storm
Hidden from the new world
Where the spiritless are born
Watching from his mountain
Stands a man who knows his fate
He who brought the legends
And became a god himself
Far beyond the stillness
Where the gods no longer reign
The ice once formed the landscapes
Into mountainsides and stains
The wisdom from the Dark age
He brought forward to tell
The lightening in his spirit
