The World Is Yours Lyrics
(2010)
(Lyrics to the Full Album on one page)

Born To Lose

Go ahead put the blame on me, another reason to disagree,
Deaf to all the truth for sure, hear the hammer knocking at your door.
But you know it's all fairy tales, a heavy heart like a bag of nails,

Stand up! Show your face, another victim of the cold embrace.
Before too long, no more singers, no more songs.

Oh no, last call, you had a chance, you lost it all.
Got some, bad news, never learned to dance, born to lose.

Telling lies just makes it worse, another loved one, blind and cursed,
Don't speak the truth, only lies, all we need is a reason why.
But then you always miss the point, your perfect time is out of joint.

Stand Up! Bite your tongue, hell coming and it won't be long.
Your wasted life, cut to ribbons with a thousand knives

Right now, right here, lose your mind, but show no fear.
Burn slow, no excuse, so unkind, born to lose.

Be still, turn your back, you can't survive, and that's a fact,
I know you can't believe it's true, the evil years catching up to you.
Now your face, is awful pale, never thought you were gonna fail.

Stand up! We cut you down, the worm awaits you in this barren ground.
Your last goodbye, sweet justice for your wasted life.

Right now, no doubt, in a world of pain, no way out.
Be still, can't refuse, in a world of shame, born to lose.
No remorse, can't cope, no getaway, up in smoke.
Fade out, we accuse, time to pay, born to lose. Born to lose.

I Know How To Die

Say the word and I'll be yours, save me from the killing floor.
Outta time outta sight, creeping up on you tonight.
Can't see your face no more, hanging in the sky.
Might be gone forever and that's a long long time.

If I could find the cure I wouldn't have to cry,
I know the law I know how to die.

Thousand years lost in time, outta shape and outta line.
Flying high you know it's true, searching all the world for you.
Take the wild ride, teach you how to fly,
Be on my side I hate them long goodbyes.

Don't believe in miracles and I won't even try,
I know the law I know how to die.

No more lies no excuse, walk a mile in my shoes.
Outta luck out on bail, run like hell stay out of jail.
Can't see the way no more needles in my eyes,
Rotten to the core hang me out to dry.
Give me satisfaction or a damn good reason why,
Cross your heart and hope to die.

Stay on the right track; you can't live a lie,
Make sure you don't go back, look me in the eye,
Know I ain't no angel, broken wings don't fly,
I know the law I know how to die.

Get Back In Line

We live on borrowed time, hope turned to dust,
Nothing is forgiven we fight for every crust.
The way we are is not the way we used to be my friend,
All things come to he who waits, the waiting never ends.

We are the chosen few; we are the frozen crew,
We don't know what to do, just wasting time.
We don't know when to quit, we don't have room to spit,
But we'll get over it, get back in line.

Stuck here ten thousand years, don't know how to act,
Everything forgotten, specially the facts.
The way we live is running scared; I don't like it much,
All things come to he who waits but these days most things suck.

We are the chosen ones, we don't know right from wrong,
We don't know what's going on, don't know enough to care.
We are the dogs of war; don't even know what for,
But we obey the law, get back in line.

We are trapped in luxury, starving on parole,
No one told us who to love, we have sold our souls.
Why do we vote for faceless dogs? We always take the bait.
All things come to he who waits, but all things come too late.

We are the sacrifice, and we don't like advice,
We always pay the price, pearls before swine.
Now we are only slaves, already in our graves,
And if you think that Jesus saves, get back in line.
If you think that Jesus saves, get back in line.

Devils In My Head

Nobody's mad like me, I don't know how to speak,
Sometimes my eyes are open, sometimes my knees are weak.
Nobody's mad like me, I like to see the sky,
But I would rather see it baby from the other side.

Riding on wings of fire, nothing could get me higher.
Nobody knows me, knows what I desire.

I know where the lightning strikes,
I know why the vampire bites,
I've spoken with the restless dead,
I know the minds of rats,
And the wrong side of the tracks,
I hear the devils in my head.

Nobody's on your side, forgotten how to scream,
Sometimes your eyes are blind, sometimes you're in my dreams.
Nobody's on your side, you think you're oh so smart,
But you got a stone cold stone, not a beating heart.

Riding on wings of flame, never be this high again.
Nobody sees you, nobody sees your pain.

I know where the black flags fly,
I know where immortals die,
I have heard the mountain giants tread,
I have seen the death of worlds,
I know the wizards words,
I hear the devils in my head.

Nobody crazy like me, I'll make you believe,
Sometimes I wear other faces, sometimes I sit and grieve.
Nobody's crazy like me, I know the nights alive,
But you can't be too sure just who's on your side.
Ride the electric storm, to the infected dawn.
Nobody would believe what we have spawned.

I know the way to hell,
I know the padded cell,
I have seen many heroes die.
I know your nightmares too,
And who sends them to you,
The one who makes the children cry.
I see the cruel insane,
I feel their unknown pain,
I feel the knives inside their heads.
I see we are all doomed,
I see blood on the moon,
I hear the devils in my head.

Rock 'n' Roll Music

Time goes by real slow, and you know how it feels.
Time goes by in its own bad way, your life stuck under the wheels.
Time is tight but that's alright, we give it room to breathe.
Time crawls by and time's real sly, but you can keep time with me.

Rock n Roll music is the true religion.
Never let you down you can dance to the rhythm.
Stay home and watch it on your television, walk out across the sky.
Rock N Roll even gonna set you free.
Make the lame walk and the blind to see.
Gonna take you back to where you wanna be,
Do it till the day I die.

We can shake it all night long, everybody got to dance.
Romantic fool trying to be cool, hoping he's in with a chance.
Get out tonight, high as a kite, under the yellow moon.
Make you feel good, get some real wood,
Put that together real soon.

Rock n Roll music is the true religion.
Never let you down you can dance to the rhythm.
Stay home and watch it on your television, walk out across the sky.
Rock 'n' Roll even gonna set you free.
Make the lame walk and the blind to see.
Gonna take you back to where you wanna be,
Do it till the day I die.

Rock music can wake the dead.
You know it's true when it fills your head.
Better remember what I said, you never get enough.
When the band hits the road, that's the time to save your soul.
That's the time to reach for the gold, you know it ain't so tough.

Rock n roll music is my religion; I don't need no miracle vision.
I don't need no indecision, look me right in the eye.
Rock n roll music gonna set you free?
Know its gonna knock you outta your tree,
Gonna get you right to where you wanna be, do it till the day I die.

Rock 'n' Roll, Rock 'n' Roll, Rock 'n' Roll,
Rock 'n' Roll, dance to the music.
Rock 'n' Roll, you know you can't refuse it.
Rock 'n' Roll, don't you abuse it.
Rock 'n' Roll, Rock 'n' Roll, Rock 'n' Roll, save your soul.

Waiting For The Snake

I don't know what I like, I don't know what I am,
I don't know where I'm going and I don't give a damn.
I say the world is crazy, know there's no one to save me,
I know a few things baby; I know we're in a jam.

Black hole in the sun, I don't like the way we always run,
And if your eyes are closed I better stay awake.
You sleep like an angel baby, but I know you're truly crazy,
And I think that we've grown lazy, waiting for the snake.

You are a mystery, you are a bitch to me,
You don't see why I stay why I don't turn and run.
You think your life is good, but you're a babe out in the wood,
Do what you think you should, sleeping with the gun.

Black cloud on the moon, feels like the rain is coming soon,
The way I feel tonight, you'll never see me break.
You live in constant sorrow, and I refuse to follow,
We might not see tomorrow waiting for the snake.

I think you know the score, I don't know what we're waiting for,
Hiding behind the door, don't get us any place.
I know that you believe, and so before the freeze,
Before we feel the squeeze, before the monster wakes.

Black Death in the room, you sing a different tune,
And it will bring your doom, the city starts to shake.
I see the world is dying, you know I sure ain't lying,
I see you pale and crying, waiting for the snake.

Brotherhood Of Man

Now your time has come a storm of iron in the sky,
War and murder come again, lucky if you die.
No way to rescue destiny, scream and curse in vain,
You will never be remembered, no one knows your name.

When the music changes then all is broken down,
Mighty cities laid to ruin, burning to the ground.
Murder is become the law; you cannot make a stand,
Chaos rules the world now mortal, brotherhood of man.

You cannot hide the truth from me I know what's in your heart,
Greed and jealousy each equal, all your days now dark.
Mighty mountains fall in dust the world falls into hell,
Faith in lying prophets, no one to lift the spell.

Monsters rule your world are you too scared to understand?
You shall be forever judged and you shall surely hang,
We live and scrape in misery; we die by our own hand,
And still we murder our own children, brotherhood of man.

Blood on all our hands we cannot hope to wash them clean,
History is mystery do you know what it means?
Slaughter, kill and fighting still and murdered where we stand,
Our legacy is lunacy, brotherhood of man.

We are worse than animals, we hunger for the kill.
We put our faith in maniacs the triumph of the will,
We kill for money, wealth and lust, for this we should be damned.
We are disease upon the world, brotherhood of man.

Outlaw

Live or die, stand or run, shoot 'em down, smoking gun.
In the time it takes to tell, another dreamer sent to hell.

Just like movies, time to move, bad gunslinger, evil dude.
Know you're fast, hope you're quick, quick draw gun law make your hit.
Born to shoot, hope it's true, today you know the slow one's you.

Outlaw, cut down in your prime,
Outlaw, see the blue sky one last time,
Outlaw, that's all.

Live or die, win or lose, can't be sure, no excuse.
In the street a man lies dead, another dreamer bloody red.

Just in time, lightning speed, frozen moment, time to bleed.
Know it's all about to change, try, die, or live again.
Born to die, we all know that, today you know the first is last.

Outlaw, cut down in your tracks,
Outlaw, so much for the man in black,
Outlaw, that's all.

Die or live, shoot to kill, the old routine you know so well.
Gun law rules that's what I said, another dreamer woke up dead.

Justice means the fastest gun, no appeal, done is done.
Know it's quick, hanging tree, courthouse, whorehouse set you free.
Born to live, don't know how long, never know right from wrong.

Outlaw, face down in the dirt,
Outlaw, the one that kills you never hurts,
Outlaw, lying in the street,
Outlaw, the last gunslinger you will meet,
Outlaw that's all.

I Know What You Need

You better turn me loose, I got a trick up my sleeve.
If you don't want to wake up bleeding, you better tell me I can leave.
Now the dark man's coming, he's gonna strike you to the bone.
He's a voodoo Medusa, gonna turn you into stone.

Will you obey the master when he sets you free?
Don't you think there'll be a price?
I know what you are, I know what you need.

Are you dreaming in your coma, how do you know for sure?
Could be your mind in the silence, could be they couldn't find a cure.
Now a bad man coming, gonna shoot you full of holes.
He's a true believer, gonna crucify your soul.

Can you pay the jester to watch you while you sleep?
Can you be sure his heart is pure?
I know what you are, I know what you need.

Now here's the execution all around your bed,
Are you gonna feel the axe blade when It separates your head?
See the hooded man coming, may be the last thing you see.
You can struggle like a maniac but you'll never get free.

Can you play the traitor? Can you make men believe?
Will you to turn and laugh as they burn,
I know what you are, I know what you need.

Can you play the dead man? Can you cease to breathe?
Will you cry when you're buried alive?
I know what you are; I know what you are, I know what you need, I know what you need.

Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye

You don't know me baby but I know you so well,
Tried to make a fool of me, tried to ring my bell.
Sneaking round behind my back didn't make me cry,
But I'm gonna have my sweet revenge; pay back all your lies.

Gonna make a fool of you, watch out.
Make your life a misery; make you shut your mouth.
Gonna tell a tale on you, make your blue eyes cry,
And then you know we're truly through, bye bye bitch, bye bye.

You know all the reasons and I know all their names,
Trying to keep secrets babe ain't your strongest game.
Running round this city, running outta tales,
I'm gonna make you sorry honey, I'm gonna make you wail.

Gonna be a sad day for you soon.
Make your life a mockery, twist you out of tune.
Gonna do some work on you and only you know why,
And then it's time to say 'so long', bye bye bitch, bye bye.

You don't know a goddamn thing about the real world,
Here's a short sharp lesson, and I mean every word.
You tell me that you love me but I'm just some other fool,
So bite the bullet, eat your words, I'll teach you the rules.

Gonna make a fool of you, watch out.
Make your life a misery; make you shut your mouth.
Gonna tell a tale on you, make your blue eyes cry,
Then you know it's adios, bye bye bitch, bye bye.
