All Through The Night
03:38

All through the night
The demons come to fight
Angels come to sing
And slay the evil beings
Rings filled with eyes
Burning in the night
Watching all the lambs
And sentencing the damned
If an earthquake rips apart the world
If the stars split open from the sky
If blood starts raining from the clouds
If hellhounds come from underground
Would you stand there all throughout the night
Would you stand there and wonder why
You stand there all throughout the night
You stand there asking God why
Through the night
The demons weave their might
Angels in the air
A sight no longer rare
Cosmic combat
We could never comprehend
Taking the flames out
Of hells eternal pit
If an earthquake rips apart the world
If the stars split open from the sky
If blood starts raining from the clouds
If hellhounds come from underground
Would you stand there all throughout the night
Would you stand there and wonder why
You stand there all throughout the night
You stand there and asking god why
All through the night
The demons come to fight
Rings filled with eyes
Burning in the night

Do It Yourself
03:26
|
|||
You can't take the easy way all your life
Gotta do some things with pain and strife
Gotta work real hard every fucking day
To put food on the table for your baby
Learn a fucking skill, get a fucking job
Just do something but rot like a log
I can't do it for you it's all in your head
You just gotta do it yourself my friend
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Gotta do it yourself
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Gotta do it yourself
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Gotta do it yourself
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Gotta do it yourself
If you're gonna stop reveling in sin
You don't know where to look or where to begin
You refuse to ask the questions or pretend to play along
I guess it's cause you're afraid of always being wrong
Learn a fucking skill, get a fucking job
Just do something but rot like a log
I can't do it for you it's all in your head
You just gotta do it yourself my friend
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
Do it yourself
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Gotta do it yourself
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Why can't you see
Gotta do it yourself
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Gotta do it yourself
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Can't you believe
Gotta do it yourself

Face the Fear
03:27
|
|||
Remember we had fun in the sun
Everything was okay on another lazy day
Taking life for what it was worth
Enjoying hot rays on the California surf
Fair weather friends all came today to complain about life
On a warm sunny day
Face the fear
Our time is drawing near
Go back to the start
Everything's half off
I can't relate to the shit you permeate
Cause everyone there had gone insane
I don't really know what happened to us
Did we wither? Did we grow? I believe in my soul
That the world will never really know
Midnight trips to the old fishing pier
Where all we had was a warm case of beer
Bonfires on the beach of mire
Would serve as a man's funeral pyre
Our time was up and we parted ways
Half of us stuck in a dumbfounded gaze
Face the fear
Our time is drawing near
Go back to the start
Everything's half off
I can't relate to the shit you permeate
Cause everyone there has gone insane
I don't really know what happened to us
Did we wither? Did we grow? I believe in my soul
That the world will never really know

Isn't It Weird
02:28
|
|||
Isn't it weird or is it me
Decades of time flow endlessly
Pleasure and pain all wrapped in one
And we go to see it come undone
What's the catch?
What's the catch?
What's the catch?
Well I just don't know
Isn't it weird to see such things
Flowers and people with their dreams
Witness it bloom and fade away
You know life's mysteries just seem grey
Why're we here I just don't know
Isn't it weird to see you go
What's the catch
I just don't know
Isn't it weird or is it wrong
That the world's getting smaller as time goes on
People disappear from your sight
But the memories burn until morning's light
What's the catch
What's the catch
I just don't know
Isn't it weird to see such things
Flowers and people with their dreams
Witness it bloom and fade away
You know life's mysteries just seem grey
Why're we here I just don't know
Isn't it weird to see you go

Enlightened Eddie

The bright nuclear sun
Really Beams down on one
Radioactive man
With really bad plans
Leather skin shriveling in the light
Wasting and fading in plain sight
Enlightened Eddie rules the roost
And he's the only one who knows the truth
He knows of the gods
speaks of their laws
named all the stars
sees from his car
Enlightened Eddie
Enlightened Eddie
Leather skin shriveling in the light
Wasting and fading in plain sight
Enlightened Eddie rules the roost
And he's the only one who knows the truth
He lives with the rats
But moves like a cat
With holes in his hat
Enlightened Eddie
Enlightened eddie
Enlightened eddie
Leather skin shriveling in the light
Wasting and fading in plain sight
Enlightened Eddie rules the roost
he's the only one who knows the truth
On leather skin he carved the scene
He saw that day in the sky of green
Enlightened Eddie rules the roost
He's the one who wrote the truth
He knows of the gods
He speaks all their laws
Enlightened Eddie
Enlightened Eddie

Playing in Pollution
03:16
|
|||
We played down the street at the old creek
Triple headed frogs make all girls freak
You say one plus one it equals too
You can tell they didn't think this thru
And all you saw us do was play in pollution
There is no solution
For playing in pollution
Freddie had a tumor at thirteen
Suzie thinks her brother is a queen
Wonder all the time why were so dumb
Then I recall where we had some fun
'Cause all you saw us do was play in pollution
There is no solution
For playing in pollution
Used to ride my bike along the street
Smiling to people that I'd meet
Breathing in the radiated dust
And eating microplastics with my lunch
'Cause all you saw us do was play in pollution
There is no solution
For playing in pollution
We played down the street at the old creek
Triple headed frogs make all girls freak
Wonder all the time why were so dumb
Then I recall where we had some fun

Time is Rushing By
02:46
|
|||
I feel the world around myself
Quickly rushing by
I want to slow it down but hell
Ill never even try
I've tried to ask for help
And I've tried to find a way
But I guess that I am stuck here
On this fucked up holiday
I walked along the hidden tracks
And I could clearly see
The reaper dressed all in black
And he's running fast to me
The whole entire world
Seems to stumble around my soul
Screaming bloody murder helps
To bring me in control
feel the stare of others eyes
Gaze into my soul
I see them either laugh at me
Or feel a bit of woe
I've got to find a way to stop
This feeling deep inside
But I just cant stop the feeling
That I'm running out of time
I look inside my self to see
A weakened raging mind
Bottle filled anxiety
And I'm running out of time
I'm done

Pointless Persistance
05:22
|
|||
The pulsing vessels of my corpse reanimate my failing heart
And my brain, is brimming with rotten hope
See I have an idea why there's a worm inside my ruptured mind
And I'm stuck here, till the end of time
Plugging in my electric chair
Sit and wonder pulling out my hair
Have I lost it?
All normality
And I know what I'm doing is right
Rational alludes my mind
Medication only a waste of my time
Pointless persistency
And I know what I'm doing is wrong
Plugging in my electric chair
Sit and wonder pulling out my hair
Have I lost it?
All normality
And I know what I'm doing is right
Rational alludes my mind
Dedication only a waste of my time
Pointless persistency
And I know what I'm doing is wrong
Upon the stage you shine a light
Laughing at my daily plight, and I feel a little bit insecure
I thought my life was mine to lead but I am trapped inside a dream
And I know I'm stuck here forevermore

Pain Forevermore
03:09
|
|||
I never dream
I'm Never seen
They think I'm mean
Life's obscene
I can't redo
Begin anew
I hardly try
To stay alive
Abandoned you, another empty shell
They bought you to be the greatest thing in hell
You, told me
There would be honor back at home
Now I lie in pain forever more
I lie in pain forever more
I lie in pain forever more
I lie in pain forever more
Lock the door
Scream some more
Lose control
Hit the floor
As I lay
Awake in bed
I shout and pray
For my death
Ripped from your hands, some things you wont get back
Now I sit here just ruined by some hack
And now I'm writhing, no one's hearing
All the screaming kills me slow
