I am the bringer of evil
I am the bringer of fright
I am the one with the power
Try me I'll show you I'm right
How can you say you're almighty
Just take a look at yourself
Where is your lovin' and kidness
It's hidden away on a shelf
CHORUS: I will make you burn
From Hell ther's no return
I will make you burn
So you will have to learn
You say you created the oceans
You say you created all land
Ans as an end to your workin'
You say you created the Man
How can you say you're almighty
Your creatures are livin' in shame
You did not create love and kidness
And you threw the blame on my name
CHORUS
Von bösen Zungen wird immer noch behauptet, The Almighty würde bis heute immer noch
keine Sau kennen, wenn Ricky Warwick (v,g), der die Band 1988 zusammen mit Gitarrist
Tantrum, Basser Floyd London und Drummer Stumpy Munroe irgendwo in Schottland
gründete, damals nicht mit Vanessa Warwick verheiratet gewesen wäre.Selbige war
nämlich MTV Moderationsschlampe von Headbanger's Ball (R.I.P. schnüff) und sorgte
für entsprechenden Airplay der Combo ihres inzwischen Ex-Mannes. Doch die Band wäre
sicherlich auch ohne entsprechende Rückendeckung nicht unbeachtet geblieben.Polydor
nahm den Vierer '89 unter Vertrag und brachte "Blood, Fire and Love"
heraus, dem kurz darauf eine Live-Mini-LP nachgeschoben wurde, auf der eine
Coverversion von "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" von Bachman Turner Overdrive
enthalten war."Soul Destruction" und die Hit-Single "Free'n'Easy"
brachte '91 den Durchbruch in Europa und Almighty eine Tour im Vorprogramm von Alice
Cooper ein. Dort lernten sie auch Peter Friesen kennen, der Tantrum an der Gitarre
ablöste.1992 unterbrach die Band kurzfristig ihre Aufnahmen zu
"Powertrippin'", um auf den Donongton Monsters Of Rock im Vorprogramm von
Maiden zu spielen und gleichzeitig eine weitere Mini-Live-Scheibe mit zu schneiden,
die einer limitierten Auflage von "Powertrippin'" beigelegt wurde. Im
Anschluss an die Veröffentlichung ging die Band '93 auf Tour durch die USA, in deren
Verlauf sie auch für Metallica eröffnete.Nach ihrer Rückkehr drängten Polydor dann
auf eine Neuveröffentlichung innerhalb von vier Monaten, so dass sich die Band
gezwungen sah, im Frühjahr 1994 zu Chrysalis Records zu wechseln. Dort brachte man
1994 "Crank" heraus, welches trotz der Produktion von Chris Sheldon (u.a.
Therapie?) und durchaus ansprechenden Songs etwas unterging."Just Add
Life" kam '96 zur Welt und beinhaltete mit dem Song "All Sussed Out"
eine Single, die die Fans dazu aufrief, ja nicht die Conservatives zu wählen.
Musikalisch waren inzwischen immer deutlicher die Punk Roots zum Vorschein gekommen,
was die Band einige Fans kostete. Kurze Zeit später verließ Ricky die Band und man
musste vom Ende von Almighty ausgehen.Doch zur Jahrtausendwende meldete sich Meister
Warwick zusammen mit Stumpy und neuem Gitarristen namens Nick Parson mehr als
eindrucksvoll zurück. Obwohl im Booklet von "The Almighty" nur ein Photo
von den Dreien ohne Bassist London abgebildet ist, spielt er weiterhin in der Band
und ist auch mit auf Tour (wieder mal mit Iron Maiden). Wie heißt es so schön auf
der Homepage: "Good God Almighty...They Are Fuckin'
Back".2001 Psycho-Narco2000 The Almighty1996 Just Add

I found it hard to believe
Got all caught up being freed
Everything that I had
You wrenched it out of my hands
[Chorus:]
Yeah, you got me wrong
You never even tried
To change your way of thinking
Now you better decide
Whose side are you on?
When the tension breaks
And lying's as natural as breathing
I'm going to invite you right down
To rise to the occasion
Why don't you say what you mean?
Why don't you show what you feel
Tainted by your own self doubt
Say you hate to leave, well let me help you out
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost damaged
Sometimes I get so hungry for tension
All wound up and nowhere to go
I just murdered another day
[Chorus:]
You got to go with what you know
Find the time to re-arrange
But you love to suffer in silence
When you know that you're
Welcome to defiance
Get up, get out and try it
Sometimes I get so sick of it all
Sometimes I feel like I've been branded
Wait a lifetime to get what you wanted
A stonewashed soul and a double standard
[Chorus]
Everything is crystal clear
A million failures a million tries
A million reasons to justify
I only wanted out of frustration
I guess sometimes we all get taken
[Chorus]
Open up your eyes
Get a little introspection in your life
Time to realise
What you have inside
Sometimes you've got to wear it out
[Pre-chorus:]
I'm not giving anymore
I'm not taking anymore
I'm not feeling anymore
I'm not guilty anymore
[Chorus:]
Take it way beyond belief
I don't need a reason
No matter what it takes
It's just another phase outgrown
Confront yourself
A change for the sake of it
Won't change anything
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
So just keep it out of reach and take it way beyond belief
What ever you think you need to take it way beyond belief
[Pre-chorus]
They say you got to live with what you believe
Am I living up to what you want me to be?
Open up your eyes - take it way beyond belief
Time to realise - take it way beyond belief
What you have inside - take it way beyond belief
I don't need a reason, I don't need a reason
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
(Relentless) we get born and raised
(Relentless) broken promises made
(Relentless) the days cut like razors
(Relentless) with no guarantee on saviours
(Relentless) everyone's addicted
Coz everyone's a victim
(Relentless) I've seen the movie
It did nothing for me
(Relentless) patience is a virtue
That ain't worth waiting for
(Relentless) I'll buy you a coke and sing
I'd like to teach the world to scream
[Pre-chorus:]
We're just dying to be like you
In this...
[Chorus:]
United state of apathy
Got no motivation
United state of apathy
Strung out on a diet of pure frustration
(Relentless) the voices in your head are calling
(Relentless) they don't tell you what you want to hear
(Relentless) another smoke on inspiration
(Relentless) to take you anywhere, anywhere but here
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
Freedom of choice or a choice of freedom
Paying the price for the cost of living
Sit up straight eat your Jesus flakes
All good things come to those you hated
[Chorus]
(Relentless)
United state
United state
United state of apathy
We're just wasting away
Don't give it all away
Don't give it all away
I tried to save myself
But you wrote me of anyway
When will I feel like I wanted to
What in the world has come over you
What in the world are we going to do
[Chorus:]
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to use
Nothing left to give
Nothing left
Nothing left to prove
This only gives me frustration
I pile it in my mind
I almost had a weakness
And you almost made me smile
It's just a small town life sentence
And I tried to drown it out, you're taking this the wrong way
And you think that it's alright
[Chorus]
I left this place the way I found it
Everything the same
When I was young I didn't know what I wanted
It's nice to know I haven't changed
Don't give it all away
[Chorus]
You're the unreal thing
In the safety of your own delusions
You preach it but you don't believe it
I never wanted to be what you needed
What gives
What gives you the right
Picking up the pieces
Until you get the rest of my life
[Chorus:]
Backbiter
You're the unreal thing
So have a toke and a smile
And ease your junkfood mind
Who needs entertainment
When the walls are here to climb
I knew
I knew it would come to this
I've been hanging on for weeks
By the skin of my beliefs
So come on and cut me down
You're just a...
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of being wrong
I'm just scared of being right
[Chorus:]
Backbiter
You're the unreal thing
You can't beat the feeling
I never listen to reason
Coz I got no reason to listen
Put your mind inside a bodybag
It's in a terminal condition (right)
[Pre-chorus:]
You love, hate and kill my time
Love, hate and kill my time
Now I want to rise and shine
[Chorus:]
Sorry for nothing
Why should I feel
Sorry for nothing
I believe deep down inside
You think you're Jesus fucking Christ
Point the gun, aim to please
Coz I know, you know, I know I'm right
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
I hope you're feeling bitter
I'm so happy I could die
You told me I could count on you
But I can't count that high
[Pre-chorus]
I hope you're feeling bitter
Sorry for nothing
It's all so fucking pure
That I can see right through
Saw myself for the first time in years
With no room without a view
Well I'm not the only one spoilt by mistakes
How much damage do you think it takes?
[Chorus:]
Looking for a way out
Want to lose your skin
I got to move
Move right in
We're all out for a killing
Forgot the safety catch
Wipe the smile from my Irish eyes
And tell me it's a lack
So please don't try to do me any favours
It's just that sometimes life can make me nervous
[Chorus]
It's just a token of infection
That runs in the family
Accidentally born without a purpose
And just dying to be free
I was reaching down to pull myself back up
When all the time I know that I'm fucked
[Chorus]
You're the Jesus that didn't get nailed
Everyone loves a righteous cause
I got everything that I need to be free
I got masturbation and cable TV
[Chorus:]
I know, I know
I know you got a Jonestown mind
I couldn't change it if I tried
Another day in the life of a dead man
I hope you're happy now
You got no hope, but you got enough rope
Just to keep on hanging around
[Chorus]
Trained to drain
Why you can't explain
You're everything that you don't want to be
You're just chocking on your coca-cola
Chocking on your dreams
I know, I know
I know you got a Jonestown mind
You're the Jesus that didn't get nailed
[Chorus]
It makes no fucking difference
If it's all the fucking same
I swear to God that I
Don't believe a fucking thing
I don't want to sleep
3 A.M. knows my secret
I could have been anyone
But I'm just somebody I used to be
[Pre-chorus:]
Want this need this
Hate this love this
Needfreak
Want this need this
Hate this love this
Fuck this
[Chorus:]
I've been up for weeks
I have been losing sleep
On crank and deceit
I want you to feel this too
What makes you think I give a fuck
Well maybe I'm just paranoid
Am I paranoid enough
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
You know me better than I know myself
I've been up for weeks
I've been losing sleep
Dirt starts smelling sweet
Feeling obsolete
On crank and deceit
Maybe this would be easier
Second time around
But every time I bring it up
You try to bring me down
Find someone else to crucify
Coz didn't we have fun
Don't you know that a little pain
Never hurts anyone
[Chorus:]
Why can't you let it be
You're living all over me
Try taking a different view
It's good for me and it's better for you
Crack-down
Right now
So don't believe the powers that be
They're colour blind and they can't see
Can't understand what you can't kill
You always have and you always will
[Chorus]
This isn't the answer to anything
Love and damage
[Chorus]
Confidence broken
We fight for control
All my friends are hollow
And no one else is whole
[Pre-chorus:]
I'm not your anxiety
I'm not your anxiety
[Chorus:]
Stop taking, stop taking
Stop taking the easy way out
Caught me wide open
Take what you see
Tear the world to pieces
Dying by degrees
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
I'm not living for you
[Pre-chorus + chorus]
Stop taking the easy way out of this
Reading the bible in a cheap hotel
Am I in Heaven or a decadent hell?
I got the anti-Christ on my TV screen
Selling household gods that I don't need
Give me something I can hold on to
This love, hate, love I'm going through
[Chorus:]
Taking Hold
Taking it all the way
Taking hold
Taking hold of my beliefs
My culture clashed and it ain't no fun
Today I feel like I need a gun
Now the Woodstock nation's the Pepsi generation
If it kills me I'll find my salvation
I hope to God that my hope won't die
Am I just too low to high
[Chorus]
I love the things I used to kill
I hate the way I used to feel
I was lying through my teeth
Taking hold of my beliefs
[Chorus]
I feel uneasy
What you don't know can hurt you
Only lies behind your back
I feel infected, take another blast
Got a rosary of razor wire
And my future tense has passed
[Pre-chorus:]
There's too much nothing
To be left in so much doubt
Too much nothing's
Something I can live without
[Chorus:]
I need somebody to use
God I've tried so hard
I want somebody to bleed
Cos I'm so sick and wired
I feel uneasy
A kinda freedom's hard to find
No train of thought on
A one track mind
[Chorus:]
I need somebody to use
God I've tried so hard
I want somebody to bleed
Cos I'm so sick and wired
I need somebody to use
I get so uninspired
I want somebody to bleed
Cos I'm so sick and wired
Hiding the scars
Of my own intentions
So sick and tired
Of these soul pretensions
[Pre-chorus & chorus]
Temptation rising in my soul
I've been counting on my bones
Meet thy maker, time to end
They're playing Jesus Christ again
Gods, guns and gasoline
Coke adds life, conscience clean
T.V. babies, horsepower mind
Shooting up kills the time
[Chorus:]
I want something real
I need, I feel
Powertrippin'
Get the needle miss the point
Just say no! now pass the joint
Holyroller blown away
H.I.V. C.I.A.
[Chorus:]
I want something real
I need, I feel
Powertrippin'
Shine on
So come on join the resurrection
Does my conscience bother you
Screwing the world without protection
It's the corporate thing to do
You'd better start believin'
That it's just another dream
Killin' in the name of love
They put you down for freakin' freely
Coz they need someone to blame
So cut the crap and see more clearly
A world of difference is just the same
You gotta give it
You've gotta give it 'til it hurts
They're trippin' on your destiny
[Chorus:]
Don't fight it
Feel it
Do what you will
I' got a nerve and you're on it
Yeah what I want is what I lack
I hung my hang-ups on a meathook
That I've got buried in your back
[Chorus]
It doesn't trouble me
So why should it trouble you
Save your roses for the dead
I'll lick the honey from your thorns
I'm feeling up
I'm looking down
My angels beat my devils
Now I'll lay my doubts in waste
What I believe
Is what I need
What I believe
Can't be convicted
By a rhyme without a reason
Someone always loves you
Even if it is yourself
Below my dick
There's neither truth or religion
My indignance has flown
To better things
What I believe
Is what I need
What I believe
Is keepin' my spirit alive
[Chorus:]
Give me
Give me possession
When will you learn to let it ride
You got no guts
You'll get no glory child
Your rusty soul bleeds Coca-cola blood
And you try to tell me
It's the real thing
What I believe
Is what I need
Is keeping my spirit alive
[Chorus]
Seems like all your heroes
Dance among the dead
I used to want to join them
Think I'll live instead
Living seems so easy
Distorted point of view
Why won't you acknowledge
The hell that we've been through and
Change - Change
Change for the better
Change what you feel inside
[Chorus:]
You're pushin' me over the edge
You're pushin' me over the edge
You lift me up take me to the ledge
You're pushin' me over the edge
Life could be so easy
If you see things my way
Save me from tomorrow
Someday things are gonna have to
Change - Change
Change for the better
Change what you feel inside
[Chorus]
Grab a hold of the reins
Suicidal precision
Going down again Dead man's intuition
Another book that I almost read
When I flipped to the last page
The hero was dead
Life could be so easy
Reasons to my rhymes
Lovers came to heal me
And left me crucified
Change - Change
Change for the better
Change what you feel inside
[Chorus:]
You're pushin' me over the edge
You're pushin' me over the edge
You lift me up take me to the ledge
You're pushin' me over the edge
You're pushing me over the edge
Bleeding my soul killing my head
You're pushing me over the edge
Season's changing like my mind
In the room of my wants killing time
You called me up to put me down
Fill my head and I hope I drown
Covering the bruises
With too much gloss
Paying the price
When I can't stand the cost
[Chorus:]
I'm out of season
Feeling out of place
Out of season
I'm out of faith
Lying back scratching the sky
Wasted but I can't get high
Right here, right now won't let me be
Right here, right now means shit to me
Got no reservations
Living hand to mouth
When feeding on frustration
Means eating your heart out
[Chorus]
Driving the needle of my mind
Into the heart of it all
Throwing light on a dark horse
Fire walking through blazing thoughts
I'm kicking tomorrow into today
Tainted adrenalin drifts away
[Chorus]
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give right now
You're so addicted to
Self-righteous indignation
Breaking the back of love
Then you bleed into temptation
Try and understand
That there's a price to pay
If you lust for life
You can't drain away my....
[Chorus:]
Lifeblood
Coz I'm staying high
Lifeblood
Burning in my veins
I ain't dying to die
Something's gotta give
A turned on revelation
In your blood-shot mind
You wanna save your life
I wanna spend mine
And your damming rivers
Tryin' to kill the flow
Your drowning sorrows
But they're sinking too slow in this
[Chorus]
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
One nail drives another deep inside of me
[Chorus]
I never wanted
I never needed
I never begged
And I never pleaded
To a god unknown
That I won't let in
Cos religion is business
And there's money in sin
You're blind and offended
When reality hurts
But I've never seen Jesus
Inside a church
And I've prayed
I won't pay to be saved
Buying a brief burst of heaven
Immaculate deceptions
Going on everyday
Still you follow the clowns
Who give the circus away
Reaching for something
That's never been felt
And they're tightening their grip
On your bible belt
Dead eye disciples
Who sin too deep
Jesus loves you
But his love don't come cheap
And you pray
Yeah, you pray to be saved
Buying a brief burst of heaven
I never wanted
I never needed
I never begged
And I never pleaded
Pained by beliefs
Of lies and deceits
When cash must be shown
To this god unknown
And we pray
We're too frightened to stray
Buying a brief burst of heaven
Jesus loves you
But I don't
Jesus loves you
But I don't
Jesus loves you
Kill your idols
Religion induced insanities
Pained by beliefs
Pained by beliefs
That I don't believe anymore
A new day rising
And I'm sinking slow
I've been following my instincts
To the corners of her soul
You want it
Need it
Give it
Take it as it comes
Teach me how to fuck
Without the indignation
Gonna lick the flame
Coz I can't resist temptation
[Chorus:]
You find it hard to swallow
Swallow my pride
It's a love like hell
Crying in her mind's eye
About the damage done
I can't hold back my kingdom
When I know it's gonna come
You want it...... etc
Teach me how to fuck
Spare me degradation
If I knew how to relax
I wouldn't need sedation
[Chorus]
You want it...... etc
Teach me how to fuck
Senseless stimulation
Can desire be fulfilled
In a no win situation?
[Chorus]
What the fuck is going on?
You've been high and mighty now
For far too long
And I know the reasons why
You saw too many clouds
And not enough sky
Hoe does it feel?
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be a problem?
[Chorus:]
You stoned me to my soul
Like fucking for virginity
We don't see
Eye to Eye
What will it take to make you see?
That all the bones I picked with you
Belonged to me
So where the fuck are you coming from
If ignorance is bliss
You must be comfortably dumb
[Chorus]
[Chorus:]
You stoned me to my soul
Like fucking for virginity
We don't see
So just go forth and multiply
Coz we don't fucking see
Eye to Eye
You, you're not justified
To take my flesh and blood child
And rape my pride
I, I got a holocaust in my soul
You tried to shape me
But I broke the mould
My beliefs flow like blood from a stone
As I fight to stay within the dream
That rusts inside your soul
[Chorus:]
Realize what you're giving me
Is feeding my addiction
You, love everything you're shown
It's times these you gotta
Keep us with the Jones's
Entertaining my ideas
I haven't felt this good in years
Shining on your crucifix
The love you preach
Is the hell you kissed
[Chorus]
Realize what you're giving me
Justify all your casualties
Realize I'm gonna break these chains
Justify, don't take my love in vain
[Chorus]
[Warwick / James]
I got a chip on my shoulder
You can't knock off
If you and make me run
I'll just walk
The system tries to legislate
Can't break the wings that we wear
Yellow brick road leads to nothin'
I don't care
[Chorus:]
If I bleed in buckets
Would I be your debutante
Tell me what more,
What more do you want?
Dollar signs are for the blind
You can't break destiny
You can take away my freedom
But you know I'll always be free,
You can all say that you love me
But love is just a four letter word
Talkin' bout me degeneration
Sounds so absurd
[Chorus]
If I dropped my disguise
Would you put up a front
Tell me what more,
What more do you want?
It ain't about the fortune
It ain't about the vice
As long as I got the groove
Then I'll be alright
Still got a chip on my shoulder
You can call it attitude
Long as you label me nothing
Then I've got nothing to lose
You can all say that you love me
But love is just a four letter word
And talkin' bout my degeneration
Sounds so absurd
[Chorus]
If I dropped my disguise
Would you put up a front
Tell me what more
What more do you want?
Power and glory
Freedom and love
If I got it all then
What more do you want?
[Warwick]
Anything goes when anything's free
You got something to lose child lose it on me
Soul vibrations in the neon light
Still burning from the city lights
What the hell is wrong with you
I did it every way that you wanted me to
With a lifetime and a little luck
Gonna show you how to love,
Show you how to...
You got a bad religion
And it's bringing you down
Love is hard to find
When there ain't no love around
[Chorus:]
Well it ain't no sin
Sin against the light
Well it ain't no sin
Sin against the light
She's my first, last and always child
Can't keep her down unless she's tired
Turn on the lizard king
Shut the doors in your head
You wanna crucify me for the love I've bled
Take it down easy
Take it down slow
And try to understand
That deep inside your soul
[Chorus]
Whisky bottles and razor blades
Lust for life starts to fade
Ain't breakin' no laws just breakin' on through
That sweet disease got a hold on you
Anything goes when anything's free
You got something to lose child lose it on me
Shout at the red eyed sky above
Love is the law and the law is love
You got a bad religion
And it's bringing you down
Love is hard to find
When there ain't no love around
Take it down easy
Take it down slow
And try to understand
That deep inside your soul
[Chorus]
[Warwick / London / James]
Soul free ghetto sister, shakin' loose
On a psycho holiday
Wilderness angel
She's comes to blow my cares away
You can't resist temptation
If you do then life's a bore
State of love situation
I'm the one who knows the score
Searching for some Lucy take me in the sky
Spirit of her love gonna take me high
[Chorus:]
Praying to the red light
Getting too far down the line
Praying to the red light
Getting too far down the line
Dirty punk with a rebel funk
I'm too young to be old
White trash love disciple
Too free to be sold
Untamed education searchin' for my space
Sex, religion, TV
This rat has won the race
I believe in love, I believe in hate
And lovin' ain't a sin so hell can wait
[Chorus]
Dirty little minds, dirty little money
Reeperbahn delight going down honey
I believe in love, I believe in hate
Sold in sin city you know I can't wait
You know I can't wait
To keep on...
[Chorus]
[Warwick / London / James]
I won't believe no resurrection
I won't believe no gospel train
I won't see the light thats never ending
I won't be coming back again
I live in hell ain't got no mercy
No guardian angel from above
Don't talk to me about religion
When the only thing I need is love
[Chorus:]
Got a love religion
It's my saving grace
And no holy roller
Can change the hand of fate
Got a love religion
Guaranteed salvation
Ain't no time for penance
No need to fear damnation
Maybe, I might just be a sinner
When I look around me that's not true
Maybe I'll never get to heaven
But I don't care 'cos I got you
Don't need no preacher jiving on me
Heaven knows I've had enough
Don't talk to me about religion
When the only thing I need is love
[Chorus]
Preacher, you say I don't believe
Cos hate and love is the only God I breathe
My pretty child your my serenity
You're my religion when everthing's unreal
[Chorus]
[Warwick]
Loaded in the boulevard of broken dreams
White lightning soul serene
Can't seem to find my way
No I don't have the time
'cause I don't know the day
What you see is what you get
These things I do I don't regret
[Chorus:]
Gettin' loaded
Every fuckin' time
Getting loaded
Loaded down
Under my skin like a rose tattoo
This rose ain't red, man, this bitch is blue
From no mean city down to bullshit town
Going round in the underground
Outta sight and outta mind
I can't see that love is blind
[Chorus]
I'm just a crazy mixed up little kid
I never meant to do the things I did
Please believe me when I lie to you
I'm so far gone my soul's black and blue
Well I'm a hit and run problem child
I'm halfway to hell and still alive
Everything's free if you got the money
You can keep the milk I'll take the honey
What you see is what you get
These things I do I don't regret
Outta sight and outta mind
I can't see that love is blind
[Chorus]
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want, do it anyhow
God it's too late to save me
'cause I'm already gone
I'm hooked into your love machine
Honey turn it on
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want to, do it anyhow
Beat up Chevys kickin'
She kills me in the back
Just one look from you sweet child
Gives me a heart attack
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
[Warwick / Tantrum]
Emptiness inside my soul
Feelings scattered all around
I need somewhere to lose myself
But everywhere has been found
Sad eyes staring out the window
Tequila tears come raining down
And pain comes to leave you cold
So many miles between us and
So many endless roads
[Chorus:]
We're all searching for deliverance
When there ain't nowhere to run
Let your spirit down easy
Cos we're always gonna be
A little lost sometimes
And when there's nothing to believe in
Sometimes these words are not enough
And promises, so hard to keep them
It's hard to feel what you can't touch
Yesterday is yesteryear
Spirits bleeding into dust
Give me time to understand
This pretty thing that we call love
[Chorus]
What is this feeling rising over me
I might look alright but I'm scared as hell
The more I know the less I understand
Put me together before I fall apart again
[Chorus]
[Warwick / London / Tantrum]
Like a serpent but got no where to slide
Out makin' cars pretending how to live
Her virgin fires been kissed so many times
But hay man it's his to be wasted all the time
All the animals come out at night
Snakes and lizards been sleeping in your bed
Hanging out in the dollar hotels
You've spent your whole life sitting on the jon
[Chorus:]
Hollywood will never learn
Play with fire and you'll get burned
Joy bang one time
Gettin' high and feeling fine
Joy bang one time
Show me how you lose your mind
All alone, dead in the city
You're doing horse child don't look too pretty
Don't need no money cause it's heaven sent
But you don't tell nobody it ain't cool to pay the rent
One day you'll wake up wasted and done
Look in the mirror and you won't see no one
Just a crazy child who wanted to be free
You did it once but now you won't let it be
[Chorus]
The lights go down
And there's a haze of love
You tell your lies to dark
Cause it never gets enough
[Chorus]
[Warwick]
It's hard to believe when your dead inside
It's hard to believe that it's good to be alive
Well I've been down so long
And now I wanna break free
Wanna break these chains
They keep puttin' on me
How long will the rain
Keep fallin' down on me
Cause I got something to say
When I get outta here
There'll be hell to pay
[Chorus:]
Hell to pay
Hell to pay
When you come my way
There'll be hell to pay
I've loved many and trusted few
I been fucked up and crazy too
A blond bitch came to ease my mind
We got it on and I'm feeling fine
You think you're so righteous
Lookin' down on me
You wanna kiss my ass
But when my back is turned
You wanna see me bleed
You wanna see me burn
And there'll be...
[Chorus]
I lose my mind so I can talk to the mindless
I take my love anyway I find it
Caught in the West End colours in my head
Screamin' at the asphalt to take me to bed
You bought yourself a little mercy for a while
Well I'm a serpent God with a love tattoo
Son of a bitch let loose on you
And there'll be...
[Chorus]
Hell to pay
Hell to pay
When you come my way
They'll be hell to pay
Well you can take my heart
Take my soul
But you better start believing that I want it all
Or there'll be hell to pay
How long will the rain keep falling down on me
Man, I don't give two fucks what you say
Cause when I get outta here there'll be
Hell to pay
[Chorus]
[Warwick / London]
Ain't no use in running
'Cos I'll get to you
Ain't no use in praying
God won't see you through
I believe in nothing
So don't believe in me
We all have our sins, baby
Hold on and you will see
I don't want it
Make me bleed
No medicine man's
Got what I need
[Chorus:]
Everything's so free 'n' easy
Everything's so free 'n' wild
Everything's so free 'n' easy
My pretty one, I'll take you for a ride
Don't need no fire
To fuel my soul
There's enough bitchin' baby
To do it on it's own
And if I get too lazy
I don't need no shove
How did I say I believed in nothin'
When Lord, I believe in love
[Chorus]
[Warwick]
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
That crazy woman put a spell on me
She said come closer I got something to tell
Got a heart full of soul and a soul full of hell
This crazy child will be the death of me
Better buy yourself some
Freedom 'cos it don't come free
Love flows like blood sweet angel dust
Pain leads to pleasure love leads to lust
She said...
[Chorus:]
Love only love,
Love is the devil's toy
She took me down in her soul asylum
She took me down
And she begged me to try some
Raises me up and we walk the sky
I kissed the flame of the fire in her eyes
God only knows and the devil may care
That love is my religion, love is my prayer
Lost in the darkness she was selling me light
Painful and beautiful hold on me tight
[Chorus]
Livin' on love and gasoline
Takin' me somewhere that I've never been
Losing my hold on reality
Give me deliverance, Lord deliver me
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Can't bring me down when I'm alone
Love flows like blood sweet angel dust
Pain leads to pleasure love leads to lust
[Chorus]
[Warwick]
Some twisted mutha wants to get me down
Watch me bleed, watch me hit the ground
I took a trip out from inside
Won't sell my soul just to let my spirit ride
Don't you talk to me like you've seen God
Cos you know alot about nothin'
Who gives a damn about the things you do
Come back and see me when your something
[Chorus:]
I'm in a private hell
I won't get fooled again
They wanna see me die
They wanna crucify
You spend your nights getting dirty
Spend your nights feeling low
Don't piss on me and say it's raining
I think it's time you let go
[Chorus]
You gotta please me pretty baby
You gotta please me pretty child
Cos when it comes to lovin' you
You make it such an easy ride
[Chorus]
[Warwick / James]
Sittin' lone inside my head
No mirrors to reflect
Is this here the season of joy
Or the season to inject
Lord this must be judgment day
Take a close look at myself
Are you happy?
With the hand that you've been dealt
[Chorus:]
The bells they toll silently
Inflict invisible pain
Tell me which is more righteous
Chivas Regal or cocaine
Friends won't answer your phone calls
Call your long distance family
Well I hope someone is listening
As I sing on bandaged knees
On this holy day
I took to the skies
Are you tryin' to find yourself
Or just rearrange the time
Open up your spirit boy
Pass that liquid love
Do you prefer possessions
Or the purity of the dove
[Chorus]
Sing to me my little sister of mercy
Inspiration of my life
You know I can't stand the pain
But you know that I never cry
I play for you my love song
Sung only for the damned
I wish I could spend tonight with you
But you know that I can't
Look inside my black lines
Telling stories without couth
You might not like what they say
Cause they only speak the truth
Play for me tarot
Slip my neck through the belt
You can't change the ways of the game
When the cards are already dealt
[Chorus]
[Warwick]
You got my love
Yeah, you know you got it good
But still you keep takin'
Alot more than you should
And that ain't right
You're one crazy mother
I can see it your eyes
You treat me like some dog
Now you don't want my love
You don't want my love
Do you feel it baby
Now you lost your mind
Do you need it honey
Before you go too wild
You've gone wild
You've gone wild
You've gone wild
You've gone wild
Lately I've been thinking
I've been thinking about you
But you're so far gone baby
I don't know what I should do, no, no, no
Tellin' lies to angels
Can get you what you need
But they can hurt you honey
They can make you bleed
They can make you bleed
You've gone wild
You've gone wild
You've gone wild
You've gone wild
[Warwick / London]
I've taken all I can from the skies up above
I don't believe in God but I do believe in love
Don't tell me how to do it 'cos I don't need that shit
I've found something new and I'm fuckin' lovin' it
All the things I wanted I never could get
They're a little closer now but they're not mine yet
I'm on a jungle train to paradise
I want it all baby not those God damned lies
Drive me fuckin' crazy, won't you take me high
C'mon honey and show me something
Wild, wild and wonderful
Wild, wild and wonderful
I feel alright I got those good times blues
I ain't no fool won't stand for no rules
Baby let me show you something
Something that I learned, I learned out of school
Drive me fuckin' crazy won't you take me high
C'mon honey and show me something
Wild, wild and wonderful
Wild, wild and wonderful
Why do I feel this way
Sometimes I feel so alone
I've learned how to love and hate
But I've got somethin' I won't let go
No No No
Late at night when I'm lying in a haze
I think about her and all the things that she says
I think about sex you know it's on my mind
Give me some lovin'my sweet honey child
C'mon give me some lovin'
Wild, wild and wonderful
Wild, wild and wonderful
[Warwick / Tantrum]
God won't give me everything I want
They're always seems to be a price to pay
But when I look into your eyes
I didn't believe that much, no not anyway
It's only love
So just c'mon back
It must be easy
Like some ritual sweet child that we go through everytime
Some resurrection
Down on the streets I feel like I was born to lose
And no fire water could ever pull me through
Just like a lost soul on the wrong side of the tracks
Your can preach your Gospel baby 'cos I'm never comin' back
Because I've gone
I'm leaving here
And I can't get you
They can't get to me
They wanna kill me
Cover me in flowers
Resurrection
Resurrection mutha I feel her rising up
Resurrection
Resurrection mutha you're taking far too much
It's only love
So c'mon back
It must be easy
Like some ritual sweet child that we go through everytime
Some resurrection
Resurrection
Resurrection mutha
I feel her rising up
Resurrection
Resurrection mutha you're taking far too much
[Warwick]
I'm chained in by the arms of God
It seems to me I cannot move
I sold my car for some free and easy
But in my mind they're out to get me
No one makes me feel like you do
Satisfaction's my reaction
Some bitch told me that she was easy
Sweet sixteen she tried to please me
Give me love
Give me power
Give me love and power
And give me freedom
I'm a savage boy no one can tame me
I run down alleys reach out to grab me
In the sea of love we're all just fools
There is nothing I won't use
Give me love
Give me power
Give me love and power
And give me freedom
Don't hold me back and let me run away
Don't talk so much when you've nothing to say
Just come with me on a highway ride
We don't go that fast 'cos our hands are tied
Give me love
Give me power
Give me love and power
And give me freedom
[Warwick]
We lost our souls jammin' up the sky
Some bad ass child taught me how to try
She blew my mind in every fuckin' way
Then she clouded my eyes and took my heart away
Sister love has come to set me free
Lord knows what it's doin' to me
Crazy little flower child
She'll take your love and set you wild
New love
New love sensation
We got a new love
A new love sensation
She's a mercy mother down on the streets
Gonna turn up the fire, turn up the heat
Drink from the fire 'cos I feel fine
Take it easy baby yeah, take your time
Feel the heat of the rising sun
This ain't '69
I ain't no angel baby
But I can set you free one more time
New love
New love sensation
We got a new love
A new love sensation
[Warwick / Tantrum]
Yeah, you're some kind of angel
'Cos your my kind of girl
And I wanna love you
I wanna give you my world
We got it all now
Yeah, it's feelin' alright
Take you down in the city
Lets kill the night
Lay down the law
You're my prisoner of love
Lay down the law
'Cos I can't get enough
We'll go cruise in your Cadillac
Now that the time has come
We'll do things my way
The revolution of love
We got it all now
Yeah, it's feelin' alright
Take you down in the city
Lets kill the night
Lay down the law
You're my prisoner of love
Lay down the law
'Cos I can't get enough
Give me the strength
Give me the power
To carry on with this game
To tame this wild, wils flower
We got it all now
Yeah, it's feelin' alright
Take you down in the city
Lets kill the night
Lay down the law
You're my prisoner of love
Lay down the law
'Cos I can't get enough
[The Almighty]
Hey, sister I'm a wild one
Ain't got no time to play
Just like a hurricane pumping in your veins
I'll blow your cares away
I'm the God of lust you'd better believe
Here to resurrect your soul
Just give me a chance and I'll seek and destroy
Honey I can take it all
Full force
I'm a full force lovin' machine
Got so much that I wanna give
I'm possessed by the power of love
Oh I want to turn you on and there ain't no price to pay
Just lie back let the devil inside
Oh, and he'll start you up
We gotta grove down from the hips
This God damn machine will blow you bits
Full force
I'm a full force lovin' machine
Full force
I'm a full force lovin' machine
[Warwick]
You've got a sting like a scorpion
I'd like to see you try
You say that love is just a passing thing
It won't get you high
And you're one crazy mother
It's time to mend your ways
I'll put you on the streets with nothin'
Sit back and count the days
Take him
Take him to Detroit
C'mon and take him
Take him to Detroit
Everybody wants you
They want to break your back
Too much smack will bust your ass
Just get right out of here
I ain't no politician, I ain't no government man
But I've seen alot of shit like you
And I just don't give a damn
Take him
Take him to Detroit
C'mon and take him
Take him to Detroit
Lost souls in cheap hotels
Living in the gutter rattlesnakes eyes
Just a bit is far too much
You're gonna go crazy, you're gonna lose your mind
Take him
Take him to Detroit
C'mon and take him
Take him to Detroit
[Warwick]
She's got it and I want it
Yeah I want it bad
The way she moves across the floor
She's the sweetst thing I've had
I must be livin'
In a house of love
Sweet thing you move my way
And I know I'm hungry enough
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want, do it anyhow
God it's too late to save me
'cause I'm already gone
I'm hooked into your love machine
Honey turn it on
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
The way you love me is so God damn reckless
Yeah, honey it's wild
But that's the way I like it
You can do it anytime
Just one look at your body
And I'm all shook up
Sweet child you move my way
And I know I'm hungry enough
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want, do it anyhow
God it's too late to save me
'cause I'm already gone
I'm hooked into your love machine
Honey turn it on
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
Oh, I need you baby, Lord I need you now
Do what you want to, do it anyhow
Beat up Chevys kickin'
She kills me in the back
Just one look from you sweet child
Gives me a heart attack
She destroys me
She destroys me soul
She destroys me
Oh, and I want it all
[Warwick]
Fire is the one thing
That sets you eternally wild
Across and empty room
I can see a God given beautiful child
Do you believe, do you believe
Do you believe in love
I don't understand these things that we say
Don't take me baby I gotta stay
Start me up now baby
Give me blood, fire and roses
Start me up now honey
Give me blood, fire and love
Tangled in my soul
Hey, I'm so confused
Like a blood red haze in front of my eyes
Take me and set me wild
Ain't got no solution
Ain't got no compromise
Don't put the blame on those pretty ones
Set my mind in motion yeah, that's what to do
There's no time to rescue you
Start me up now baby
Give me blood, fire and roses
Start me up now honey
Give me blood, fire and love
Yeah, you blow my cares away

This can't be happening to me
You've come to set me free
Now set me free child
Start me up now baby
Give me blood, fire and roses
Start me up now honey
Give me blood, fire and love
[Warwick]
I believe in givin' you my soul
'Cos when you shoot me down
You talk like an angel
I won't ask you any questions
'Cos I don't wanna know
We got something for nothing child
So don't let go
I want you
I need you
I know you got it child
I know you got it all
You're a gift horse comin' ain't gonna let it go no, no
Gift horse baby ain't gonna let you go no, no
Well you push me to edge of happiness
I want to fall into your soul
Tear your dreams apart
There's too many reasons for livin'
When you're in my world
This must be heaven on earth
Sweet child

You're a gift horse comin' ain't gonna let it go no, no
Gift horse baby ain't gonna let you go no, no

I know you got it all
You're a gift horse comin' ain't gonna let it go no, no
Gift horse baby ain't gonna let you go no, no
I'm your master, cause I know the depths of your soul
I saw how you killed
Destruction of your own race but for what...for your lords?
You are to weak to lead yourself
You never learned to think!
You call yourself as humans
But you are only dogs, need your lord. Follow me!
I'm your desire, your hate. your agony
I'm your madness, the almighty!
Follow me, I'll guide you into the holy land
Follow me, I'll steal your mind
Follow me, I'll guide you into downfall.
Crawl, kneel, pray
I love to see you suffer!
Die for me the martyr-death
My little sheep's, come to me
At this my heart points
And leaps from its place.
Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice,
To the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven
And sends it to the ends of the earth.
After that comes the sound of his roar;
He thunders with his majestic voice.
When his voice resounds,
He holds nothing back.
He loads the clouds with moisture;
He scatters his lightning through them.
At his direction they swirl around
Over the face of the whole earth
To do whatever he commands them.
He brings the clouds to punish men,
Or to water his earth and show his love.
Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;
God comes in awesome majesty.
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
In his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
Therefore, men revere him,
