I hate this lands
The dimension of flesh
Lifeless I am
But still I breathe
Cold as winter I stalk the gates
As reaching out from unearthed grave
Black Dragon in my dreams
Spread your wings of poison
I hate this maze, emptiness, nothingness
I believe in Death
The dream will end tonight
Desert, Storms
Black Serpent from my dreams
Let me taste your poison
I am the rapist of the Jesuit whores
Breeding the sodomizers of the lamb
I am the slayer of Golgotha
Sodomizing the lamb
The earth rumbles as Hell's belfry chimes
The moon turns red as blood from dead angels
The stars fall to the earth as fire through the sky
Legions beleaguer the throne of Christ
I am at one with the fist of Gog
To smash the pearly heaven gates open
I am at one with the fist of Magog
To tear Christ from his golden throne
I am at one with the sword of Satan
To slaughter the 12 angels dead
I am at one with the fire of Hell
To burn the 7 churches down
The earth rumbles...
I am the rapist...
No I donÂ't need a reason to be breathin, just give you what I can
No I donÂ't want a family who would dare me to resent everything I am
I donÂ't need to prove to all the ones who feel that I need to fit in
No I donÂ't ever tell you that I failed you, IÂ'd rather start life over again
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Now I can see it clearly why you fear me why you gotta bring me down
No I donÂ't wanna fight you just to spite you but IÂ'm not afraid to take you out
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
Everybody expects me to break but IÂ'll never breakdown again
Everybody expects me to give up, but youÂ'll never see me givin in
Everybody wants me to lose, but IÂ'll never lose who I am
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
No IÂ'm sorry to say thereÂ'll be no sacrifice today
A Twisted Mind
You can't see them because you're blind
But I see them clear as crystal
Fooling and laughing at you
The demons are everywhere
Try not to deny the truth
And seek the dark reality as it is
Join me in this dark madness
And feel the power of the demons
Let the demons come!
You are sheep without a mind
Worshipping a god which don't exist
You are following the followers
Into emptiness
Persuaded and blinded by a weak religion
You shall face eternal pain
And you will meet no savior
To ease your suffering
Open your eyes
And deny religion
Open your mind
I-10
Mean aquatic machine
Generate evil at sea
Unholy underwater mystery
Bring your burning misery
'Till there's nothing left to see
... 'Till the death of your enemy
Like a Vader, like a wolf
Stalk your victims from invisibility
Spawn of the serpent of the deep
Steel-spirit - hunt down all ships
Son of evil industry
Dark danger of the sea
Japanese war machine
Diesel-demon unseen
Let the water burn
Bring the scum to their knees
Move to attack formation
Devouring devastation
Move to attack formation
Primeval Fear
The sun is dead now
And all that godly eyes could ever see
The image of the world is fading
Storms and chaos there will forever be
Sepulchral voice of darkness
The daemon rise with grotesque eyes
Divine madness will prevail
The archenemy has risen
Primeval fear
I am thy mouth madness
Lurking within the shadows of the human soul
I am thy sepulchral voice of darkness
The daemon who has risen
Human - where is your god now?
As primeval fear impaled your spirit
Human - die by your own hands
Cause mankind is now forlorn
The archenemy has risen
The world is chaos
Possessed
[Lyrics by Nag]
Shadows raises from Beyond
Eternal Cold and Dark
When they are secking through the Mountains
As Wolves hunt their prey
Possessed by Ghouls and Spirits
Possessed by Evil and Hate
The only Light is from their Torches
And the freezing Desert Moon
When they are riding with their Weapons
And the Darkest Medieval Paths
Possessed by Ghouls and Spirits
Possessed by Evil and Hate
As the Evil Creations they are
They're hunting you down
Raping your Whores
Killing you Child
Burning your Houses
Then, they'll slaughter you!
Once again they ride lonely
Among the Blackened trees
Seeking for Blood
Eriphion Epistates
Come morbid death
May the shadow forever be
Scorched in the face of
The desolate earth
Lightning races across the sky
Fire rains from above
We feast upon the decay
Of the lords creation
Eriphion epistates
Dark clouds approach
The green forest withers
As the black wind
Hurls towards it's goal
Lightning races across the sky
Fire rains from above
We feast upon the decay
Of the lords creation
Awaken all men
Hold your eyes open
And behold the eyes
Of the daemon lord
As the wind of death
Destroys you all
Lightning races across the sky
Fire rains from above
We feast upon the decay
Of the lords creation
Thousands of soulless men
Upon the dying grass
No life shall ever exist
Bloodshedding Horror
We arose from the pits of hell
To wander the earth
We are the storm of evil
The strong, the might Tsjuder
Slaughtering, butchering
We are feared out through the lands
Murdering, raping
You will feel the intense pain
Unholy creatures of the night
Desecrating people of the light

Human I despise your humanity
Your Blood shall boil!
Apocalyptic Storms from beyond
As the Stars fell to the Earth
I penetrated the Fabric of Reality
Cause I have seen through the Illusions of Light
And I have walked the Fields of Blight
Now the soil are Dying for my step
Witness the Day of Return
Feasting in Chaos, celebrating Death
Wrapped in Shadows I strike from above
The one spawned in Chaos
The Keeper of Ancient Hate
Apocalyptic Storms from beyond
As the Stars fell to the Earth
I penetrated the Fabric of Reality
Cause I have seen through the Illusions of Light
And I have walked the Fields of Blight
Now the soil are Dying for my step
Witness the Day of Return
Mankind - Face your final Death
The eve of Chaos
Mankind - Face the Black Menace
The eve of Satan
Written by Draugluin 1994
When night falls
Silence
It's so silence down there
I can feel your hunger
You who dwelth down in the unknown realms
Hear my hollow voice as I call upon thy name
Through the black shadows of Death
O' mighty Dead Ones
Wake up from your funeral rest
The earth can no longer grant your silence
When night falls
Mighty storms of damnation
As I summon my nocturnal power
The hordes of Death will rise again
You who dwelth down in the unknown realms
Hear my hollow voice as I call upon thy name
Through the black shadows of Death
O' mighty Dead Ones
Wake up from your funeral rest
The earth can no longer grant your silence
In the name of the almighty emperor
I summon you
And you can now deny me
For I am one of you as much
Written by Trygve 1996
Under the rising moon
Man's spirits rise
As they believe to soon reach
The pinnacle of ecstacy
Under the full moon one can hear
wolves screaming
In the dead of night
Commencing the gruesome war
Of the spirits
With man anaware of
The shattering of their dreams
Under the declinig moon
Wolves gather
To make a tribute
To the decay of man's spirits
Under the black moon
The wolves rejoice
As their victory is complete
In the Darkness
Written by Diabolus Mort 1997
I am the rapist of the Jesuit whores
Breeding the sodomizers of the lamb

Sodomizing the lamb
The earth rumbles as Hell's belfry chimes
The moon turns red as blood from dead angels
The stars fall to the earth as fire through the sky
Legions beleaguer the throne of Christ
I am at one with the fist of Gog
To smash the pearly heaven gates open
I am at one with the fist of Magog

To slaughter the 12 angels dead

I will tear this world apart
All praise to the Destroyer
All praise to me!
I can feel the Evil Spirits calling
They whisper my name in the Dark
I can see beyond the Daemon Gates
And enter the realms beyond
I kneel before the ancient altar
A servant of Madness, The angel of the Dark
I am the Manifestation of Chaos
By my word this world will burn!
Lord of Terror - Slay the lambs of god
Lord of Terror - Drown them in their blood
Lord of Terror - The Black Divinity
Lord of Terror - Rule for eternity
The Portal to the realm beyond
Splits the Night wide open
The sky turns black shadowed
By a thousand Unholy Daemons
The Holocaust has begun!
Blood is bleeding from my eyes
As Thunder roar from Darkened skies
I laugh as Blood stains my pale skin
This Battle I was predicted to win
Lord of Terror - Slay the lambs of god
Lord of Terror - Drown them in their blood
Lord of Terror - The Black Divinity
Lord of Terror - Rule for eternity
The Portal to the realm beyond
Splits the Night wide open
The sky turns black shadowed
By a thousand Unholy Daemons
The Holocaust has begun!
Written by Diabolus Mort 1997
Alas...
The return of the Beast
Unleashed from chasm depths
Spawned forth from an inferno of fire
Eons lost beyond the furthest of moons
It's an Unholy night of bestial love
The sacrilege vows are blessed by Hell
The princess of the Arges is enthroned
It's an Unholy night of suffering
Alas... The rotten fruit of her womb roars
The return of the Beast
Yeah... alas
The King of Kings is born... Satan
Kill for Satan... Sacrifice
The King of Kings is born... Satan
The four corners of Hell praise the unborn
Tidings of wrath the four princess
of Darkness bestow
The golden gates of heaven burn
Lucifer draws is fork
Demons ravage the heavens
Beelzebub raises his horns
Seraph flesh torn apart
Belial snaps his whip
The return of the Beast... Hail!
Beherit stamps his hooves
Yeah... Alas...
Written by Diabolus Mort 1997
Tonight is the night
The night of my death
The night of Satan!
I venture into a dark planet
A hellspawn I am
I walk the demon paved left path
[spoken]
A moment in the time of Gods
A lifespan in the time of Man
I see into the raptured eyes of the cobra
I eat the occult poison of the scorpion
I drink the chalice with the wine of wrath
Demonized I soar
With the angels of death
Into the Cocytus of the Abyss
I descent alongside fallen angels
Once bestowed their magic upon me
At the altar worms devour my physical capsule
And...
Beyond the grave!
Beyond the grave of Gehenna!
Beyond the grave!
Beyond the grave of Gehenna!
...to unlearn what was learned
[spoken]
With the flaming sword
I am sanctioned into a secret inter galactic order
The new breed awakes
Alongside celesial beings
Galactic High Priests bestow their magic upon me
My crystal pearly eyes see through the 3D veils of reality
They have pierced the side of Christ
Witness the great secret empire unfold
By an inter galactic brotherhood
Not of human race
Soon my legions will devour off your flesh
Your molten wax capsule rotten to the bone
You shall never be enlighten
You shall never awake
Only too late
Worm
Ridden
Filth...
Written by Nag 1995
Follow me on my Darkened path
Through mountains and thorns
You are bound to leave the light behind
Can you feel the apperence of Death?
Daemons! Open the Gate!
Enter my world beneath
Smell the raw and rotten air
Going through your veins
Feel the blood dripping
From the eternal stone walls
Can you hear the screams of suffering?
Carry your soul with the strength of Darkness
For no light will you ever see again
In my catacombs they fly
Those with no hearth and love
You will become one of them...
In the depths of the Darkest Dark
I sit on my throne of Evil
As my hordes of Daemons
Unholy Paragon
[Lyrics by Draugluin]
Embraced by the Cold Northern Light
Under the Throne of the Megalith
A Chilling Voice penetrates my Mind
I drank the Seas of Knowledge
Under the flaming Sun I saw them
The Twelve holy Disciples
To Regin the Creation of a God
And Bend Their Knees for Millenniums to Come
The Word Spreads...
And the New Seeds are born
Pagan Souls Raise your Torches high
The Holy Shall Burns
Their Bones Shall Build Palaces
The Paragon of Sin
And Delight of the Coven
We Shall Arise...
Under the Throne of the Northern Darkness
With my Art and Knowledge
I am Gods Triumphator
Written by Nag 1999
I am the ultimate Satanic warrior
My sword will slay you to the ground
Your guts is the paint on my walls
Your flesh is the food for my wolves
Raping Christianity [x3]
Fuck off!
Raping Christianity [x3]
You shall die!
I am the knight you will always fear
My power is greater than all your gods
My hatred is so strong
I am the ultimate Evil
Raping Christianity [x3]
Fuck off!
Raping Christianity [x3]
You shall die!
Mouth Of Madness
[Lyrics by Drakehow]
Decaying Moonlight in my Veins
I hear the Shrieks of Ghouls
Riding the Nightwind
The True Believers Gather
To feed upon the hanged Witch
Fall asleep screaming every Night
Lost in Familiar, And Wilderness
An Alien Monstrosity
Looking upon through a still Lake
Midst Titan Mountains
Its faces are Legion... it's faces are Mine...
A Vision of Pandemonaeon
Feeding my Insanity
A Gateway to unknown Realities
I'm Entering the Mouth of Madness
The Image of the Goat still burns within
Its Pale Dead faces stares Empty
Back at Me as I gaze into
The Darkest Pools of the Soul
Cold Horror as Sanity Declines
The Sentient Creature is Awake
The Walls of Reality are caving in
In my State of Gnosis
I'm on the Outside
Reaching for the Ether
Chaotic Winds of new Revelations
The Ritual is Complete
A Vision of Pandemonaeon
Feeding my Insanity
A Gateway to unknown Realities
Time is torment and my flesh is cold
I walk the path of undead damnation
I hunger for the true kiss of the scythe
Dead flesh walking
Bloodless
Lifelessly deprived and forgotten
Deadness
A holocaust soul
The black moon witnessed a soul entombment
Lifeless, faded and forever damned
My flesh still seeked the tombworld
But the path of damnation seemed endless
Bloodless
Lifelessly deprived and forgotten
Deadness
A holocaust soul
In the darkest chamber of my soul
The poisoned fire my only light
A dark embrace and madness prevail
Morbid Lust
[Lyrics by Draugluin]
Sepulchral Whispers in the Night
So Silent, So Cold
Carried by a Funeral Wind
Seductive hellish Desires
Her Carnal Tombvoice haunts Me still
As I Enter the City of Death
Her Lifeless Breath
Restless Morbid Lust
In a Coffin Lies my Beauty
Alone and Awake... Waiting for Me
Dressed Only in White Silk
The Ravenous Grim and Those Black Eyes of Yours
Your Bluish for Me to hold
My Flesh hunger for the tombworld
For a Kiss of your Cold Lips
Cold Steel... My Veins are open
In a Cold forgotten Mausoleum
Where only the Funeral Wind blows
Where only Death and Grief blooms
Aren't you tired yet?
do you ever get confused with all the games you play with my mind
check mate, here's your prize
a damaged heart for you to throw away and these emotions
i just want you to know that i hate you
i hate you and everything you stand for
check mate, here's your prize
a damaged heart for you to throw away...
all the neglect and your self-righteous anger, you can take it all back
i want no memories of you except the one where your begging for life
Final protocol
its now or never
take your hands off your eyes
and watch me beat you into oblivion
the sky here is missing the night
air assassin
i keep running but i don’t know where to go
forever's lost... never again
it seemed simpler as a boy
look at this bruised arm and tell me i’m good
(trust me) this situation is all wrong
I knew it was something else
its always easier to believe what they say
you filled that void of emptiness
i must acknowledge failure each time i see you
thoughts were once perfect are now as fragile as glass and break in a whisper
sincerity is meaningless like words on a paper
when i opened up to you, so impressionable
i am but a stained glass reflection of stupidity
i am but a paper model, to experiment with, do with me as you must (6x)
i dredge on, so open so vulnerable
i'll make sure that
i'll will be more than i was that time.
Where do you fit it?
get your place and decide which side you are on
the one that’s forged in flames and tempered with a season of hope
or theirs built on lies, and an insatiable to desire to drain you life
drift alone on your own plain
seems you have no place to go
yet you're always chased by a sense of paranoia
while i’m always free no chains and nothing to hold me back
i'll help you through your pain
but i have no patience
for your lies
we'll make it together, and i wont let you down
What if you knew how i felt?
if i were made of glass you'd see how this separation is poisoning me
the effect of misplacing emotions is the opposite of beginning love anew
and through it all our promises will slowly shatter to tears
re-affirm the fact that you've made a big mistake and even now flashbacks turn you away
extend your hand so that i may spit in it
close it now and take my gift
i don’t want to see you anymore
i don’t wanna hate you like i do
Close your mind
stop trying to understand me
false psycho-analysis
just know that this life hasn’t been real good
broken home and more broken dreams than ever imagined
a question mark where a pretend dad once stood and a mother so consumed by regret
life hasn’t been real good
broken home and more broken dreams than ever imagined
there are no skies in my new utopia
I’m so spent now that i envy the dead
and my most intimate thoughts are on ways to kill everyone... even me
no one is safe
you must alleviate all the pain I’m going through
I’m sure i would walk to the end of the world for you
i’ve told you one thousand times before but it was never like this
you complete, you excite me to dangerous levels
i am only happy to be in your arms
my fondest memories are of us staring at stars together...
wondering how much brighter they would shine if we were them
if they could take part in this comfort and solace
out laughter in the face of sorrow and pain
i’ll retreat to you
and with each other we are one
paired we outshine the sun, separated we darken nights
Right now hurts more than life
and i’d never wish it back
it seems the changes that we made weren't the same
being alone and the only rider
sometimes makes me cry
at night i spend alot of time cursing you
i thought i could be the one
i thought i was the sun
but now you find out
that there's a difference when you close your eyes to what’s the truth
what’s so different now then it was before
would you find time to think of me if didn’t use that much of you energy
being alone and the only rider
sometimes makes me cry
at night i spend alot of time cursing you
i thought i could be the one
i thought i was the sun
but now i know that i don’t mean.. anything.. anything to you
when i friend becomes a shadow
its hard to see him in the light..
when a friend becomes a shadow, its hard to see him in the light
when my friend became a shadow, its hard to see him in the light
i see my friend became a shadow...
How are your lies so seemingly close to the truth
and how was i so seemingly close to meaning something
maybe i’m easily tricked, possibly?
or maybe you just suck, probably
most nights i pray that you'll never look at me again
that you'll find someone else's life and mind to complicate
but as it stands i’m still breaking mirrors with my fist and trying to drown myself
My heart
my life
i owe to you friend
how you used to light the night
and so accustomed i’d become to your smile
a comfort like none other and words as soft as feathers
and now to see you lying here
uneventful, awaiting entrance
into a place i cannot go
and i don’t know why, you must go
but if you have to then you must and life's been real selfish
keeping you, confined to us
caring like yours is so valuable...
and now its time for others to see what we've always known (2x)
(Jumping jumping) Ah wanna see you jumping

When I saw her
I knew it was time
like a movie
all around me froze
my eyes saw nothing else
She was so beautiful
A flower in the stone garden
A rainbow after rain
I made promisses
I tried to change things
A new direction
Yes, Anything to have her by my side
she promised that would be always with me
She gave me a new reason
Yes I could see a new future to her side
Her absence was unbearable to me
She was so beautiful
A flower in the stone garden
A rainbow after rain
I could see a new path
I was hopeful again
I had almost forgotten
that happiness is real
This is a beautiful day
The pain, the cry
turning into life
A Miracle is in my arms
Oh Lord, the tears i my eyes
I my lips a wide smile
A man in a uniform starts screaming "Hands up
you better not move
you better not talk
cause everything you say
will be useless
you are nothing to me
so you better stand still"
My hands are cuffed
I can't move
still someone hits me in the face
once, twice, three times
so I remember Peter
denying Jesus
That must have hurt too
But I cannot cry
cause nobody will dry my tears
I just let them pusghe me to the car
My time has come
and I'll have to pay, pay, pay...
I look through the window
I see the city lights
for the las time...
light jungle
for the last time...
like the song
Goodbye blue sky
But money is easy
it’s like the fresh meat in the ocean
attracting hungry sharks
Everyone wants their share
but it’s worse in the jungle
It’s not the surviving instinct
it’s the wish for power
so hard to be satisfied
They just want my blood but I´m ready
my best friend is still here
I know there are no winners in a war
But here is my place
I can’t run away
what can I do ?
I can only fight !
Look, the invaders are leaving
we won, this is still my place
we are stronger now
and I´m still the king of the fantasy land
I´m feel so good
I´m the king
Nothing can stop us, nothing can stop us …
But what I see makes my soul freeze
It’s not a hungry shark
But a 15-year-old innocence
Father, my time is coming
just a little more
just a little more
Father, you know, I caused so much pain
and the debt must be paid
I understand
I am just harvesting
the seeds I planted in this world
Still I know
it’s not too late for me
Father I have already found your love
and nothing can change that in my life
Father people can’t understand
your mercy lasts forever
when the lights are out
I’ll be with you...
Father, you gave me a new name
then you broke my chains
Eternal life for those who believe
Now I can see your light shining in my life
Father, you gave me a new chance
then you broke my chains
that’s your promise
I´ll be forever free
I can hear some people outside
“Kill the killer”
“Pain for your sins”
but I can also hear people screaming for mercy
Then evil whispers in my ears
“I had a devil wait for you”
but God reminds me
that seven angels will be by my side
when I close my eyes and leave
The phone didn’t ring and I’m at the hall
even so I remember a song
I am happy (I´m happy)
cause I can sing (haleluia)
I am happy (I´m happy)
Cause I’m free (Now I´m free) (2º vez)
And I´m free cause one day, my sweet Lord died for me
And to wash away all my sins
But the jungle, pacient, took its time
I remember what my mother used to say
“Sin pays with death”
But what’s in there for me
If honesty pays with misery ?
A looser, that’s how I feel
No chance, no change, no future
I won´t wait for death to come
Merciless and Indifference are the eyes of this world
I can hear evil
Calling my name
and I don’t know if I want to resist
I look at the sky
I try to find help
But the voices of the night ...
Everything’s back to what it used to be
Just hate grew
With the cry of the hungry child
tearing the heart
But everything’s alright now
Tears no more
There’s plenty of food
my best friend is back
I went back to hell
but that doesn’t matter
I don’t wanna live for a prayer
I can build my paradise
Build my paradise ...
Time goes by, everything seems alright
Now I am selling illusions
I sell cheap and to anyone
rich and poor, black and white
Everybody looks for me
Everybody wants to run away from reality
It’s alright, I am here
Director: Open the cell.. Hello Joe...
Joe: Hello Sir.
Director: So, let's eat?
Joe: Sure
Director: I tried to get everything you asked for. Sit
down please.
Joe: Oh, thank you sir. God bless you.
Oh god in Heaven, thanks for the meal and
for another day. And if I'm still here tomorrow,
I thank you for I know that you will be with me.
If I'm not, I thank you anyway for I know that
I will be with you. Amen.
Director: Amen... So, Joe, tell me something: How
could a man like you end up here?
You know this is no fantasy
This is the real life
I tried to keep my sanity
But that wasn't enough
I was just a lost boy hoping for a miracle
For a long time in vain
[verse 1]
Is all about unity, togetherness
Carnival time we love de jamming
All ah we collectively
In de bacchanal time to start de fete'n
[chorus]
One thing about my country
Everywhere we go we love to party
Where’s my posse get ready
Show me yuh rag
Don’t fail me now
So wave yuh rag high
Up in de sky
Take yuh rag and fly fly fly
We up in de air
Is rag everywhere
We ready for the festival again
[verse 2]
Appreciate don’t segregate
Everybody gotta love somebody
You and me in harmony

DIRTY KNEES
she's got dirty knees, dirty dirty knees knees
from the other boys that she sees
i've been playing this game too long
playing on the other team way too long
i was hurting like a heart attack
i was battling my brain
i was temporarily insane
i'm so much nicer than i really should be
just let it all slide
but there's facts that she cant hide
never ever gonna hide it, cause shes got...
she's got dirty knees, dirty dirty knees knees
from the other boys that she sees
i've been playing this game too long
playing on the other team way too long
her life is like an ipod, shake it and it shuffles
heart made out of stone and it crumbles
for every word that i shouldn't have said there's another text message that i shouldn't have read
i never was a fan of liars, but now i am in love
with this girls impatient tongue
LOOKING LIKE A GHOST
this is breaking my heart- making me sick and it's gonna leave a scar
i don't know why i got involved in the first place
you want attention, well here it is
you said you're starving for attention, but is it mine or his?
love was never kind to me
it gave me a girl who got a little bit bored and decided to give it a whirl with someone else
but don't mind me, i'm just your past and your present and your future
maybe just a little better suited for you
the warm weather makes me nervous
i never know where you are, where you'll be, what you're hoping i'll never see
we get a little bit drunk at the bar
i'm looking for conversation and you're looking for something harder
i can't believe this shit is real
i'm reliving my past without a chance to heal
maybe i'm taking this a little too hard
but i won't apologize, you've taken this way too far
you act like you don't even know me, like you don't even care
you're slipping deeper into nothing
you're looking like a ghost
i will never forget the two of you, face to face
both of you in the drivers seat, face to face
you could only dream about how bad it tastes
it's the person that you love looking for a replacement
if all you wanted to do is get drunk and destroy me
i've been doing that on my own since i was eighteen
showing up at dive bars, showing off my heart scars
pulling on the seems and let it bleed, just let it bleed
she had dreams of a white dress, friends and an isle decorated in all the current styles
but now all i see when i try and fall asleep is that motherfucker telling you just to roll with it
i wanna quit everything and just fucking forget about it
i wanna quit my job, but i've got to make deposits
got so many words to fit in tiny little spaces
Five for a dollar
Cooks in three minutes
Tastes great
Ode to ramen (2X)
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too, maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Three Mile Island, Chernobyl
Tip of the iceberg
Capitalism and Communism alike
Sacrifice the environment
health of the people is destroyed
to amass power and profits for the few privileged
Nuclear power, nuclear weapons
inextricably linked
man's perceived mastery over nature
perceived mastery over his foes
Waste and nuclear subs poisoning the seas
cancer and pollution
thousand year legacy
From Chernobyl to Puerto Rico
Unsafe reactors stand
silently killing
Leaking deadly radiation
So called cold war is over
Military industrial complex still reigns
Still our money pays
For reactors and planes
oil companies still blocking research
into alternative energies
forcing our dependence on nuclear and fossil fuels
No more nuclear power
No more nuclear waste
No more nuclear weapons
Sacrificed upon the fire
consumed by man's mortal fire
such has been the woman's fate
dissent and burn at the stake
Today in Africa female circumcision
is brutally imposed to enforce submission
Crippling brutal mutilation to enforce male domination
barbaric clitorectomy to enforce patriarchy
Indian women burned alive
Their husbands they cannot survive
Women treated like property
Sold and murdered for their dowry
I know I'm supposed to understand cultural differences
but there's no way to justify these barbaric practices
Foreign culture easy to indict
Censorship on the left and right
Watch what you think
Watch what you say
Enforced Orthodoxy
Shoot some cocaine to pacify your brain
it's brought to you courtesy of the CIA
In Vietnam men didn't die in vain
The U.S. shipped back heroin in their body bags
My neighborhood's a shooting gallery
Because of crack dealing scum
Another kid blown away
Thirteen years young
What's your pleasure, what drugs did you do today?
Because of your habit, who died along the way?
