Monster 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Dark and dingy, the womb of a whore Maggots and worms litter her floor A lab of torture and intoxication The place of creation of the abomination The sinister plot begins to unfold Chip away the flesh to devour the soul The heart is blackened, the blood is tainted The perfect slave is instantiated Pre-chorus: Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails That’s what little boys are made of Sugar and spice and everything nice Beat the bastard into compliance Chorus: I am a hater, controlled by anger I cannot forgive and I cannot forget I am in a rage, breaking from my cage I am the monster you created Shriveled and shaking, shackled to the corner Spoon fed carcinogen, the eyes tell the horror Voodoo child needs to be clean Wash the away sins with gasoline The plan of action is nearly complete Dance on innocence, triumphant defeat Subversion of the dirty prodigy No strength or voice left to beg for mercy Pre-chorus Chorus Cauterize, lobotomize Surgical perfection behavioral correction Scar the truth in my eyes Serialize, sterilize Pathetic and neutered, the scapegoat will go on to torture and terrorize I am nobody, I am no one Chorus I am nobody, I am no one

Contact 03:17
lyrics
buy track
A universal bond unique and true A transcending network connecting us to you Calling out to you, trying to get through Deliver the message from us to you Pre-chorus: Reach out across space and time Point to point read the signs Zero in on your location Sonic signal from the station Chorus: We are the preacher, you’re the believer Music is the common ground that we share We're the transmitter, you’re the receiver Available to you anytime and anywhere A constant flow of data across the broadcast Traveling at the speed of sound in motion Existing apart, yet still connected Bridging over the digital ocean Pre-chorus Chorus Chorus

Confession 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I have a secret, something to tell It’s been on my mind and I know it so well I consider the thought of letting it bleed From the place in me where darkness seeds Chorus: Can you see what lies? Behind the stare of my eyes Can you see what hides? Obscured by flesh and locked inside I turn out the lights so you can't see in You listen for clues but the walls aren't thin Desperate to uncover the things that I know Is that you that’s looking through my window? Chorus That which I know has become your obsession Talking circles trying to form the question Watching and examining my expression Waiting for the words that are my confession Chorus

Invincible 05:24
lyrics
buy track
I clear my mind and cut through the clouds Traveling at the speed of sound Climbing high like a bird in the sky The force of gravity I resist and defy Pre-chorus: Hold on tight, here I go The ground disappears below Man in flight, amazing how No one can touch me now Chorus: Fly high, soar the sky I am invincible Metallic bird made of steel Intense altitude is my ideal The sunlight reflects off the wings The engine thrust drives the upswing Pre-chorus Chorus Pre-chorus Chorus

King of my World 03:48
lyrics
buy track
I am the man, I do just what I want to do Living for today, ignoring all your rules The streets are my paradise, Heaven in the midst Life revolves around me, you don't exist Chorus: Take a step inside my shoes and see what I see This is what I see, king of my world Going nowhere fast, got nothing to do No basis for my thought, lacking any clue Doing as I please, playing a fool Total independence, irrelevant to you Chorus This is what I see, in my world This is what I see, in my kingdom Answering to no one, it’s all about me Like looking in the mirror, all I see is me I do as I please, my concern is untrue I am all that matters, there’s no room for you Chorus

The One You Love 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Here I stand without you Wrapped in fear, torn in two My heart sinks to the floor I can't take anymore Pre-chorus: The choices you made dug our grave Could it be too late for us to save Watching the dirt fall in from above You only hurt the one that you love Chorus: Now that your gone Do I pick up the pieces or run? Cuz I cannot hide from the pain inside Are we done? I can't decide I'm alone without you I feel undone and blue The emptiness in my life Overwhelms my sight Pre-chorus Chorus We had it all; was it not enough? Is it me, is it you? What didn't we do? Do we have hope? Can love conquer all? Can we survive what we are going through? Chorus

Standalone 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Profile of the wrong man, welcome to the game Actors are the criminals, the street is the stage A twisted world where cops hunt the decoy team And the villains live the American dream Chorus: Word, Rap, Fall Millions of dollars and you can have it all Word, Rap, Fall Choose to standalone, divided they fall The simplest of systems, an underground network Clients have the cash, wrong men have the turf It’s time for a show - signature weapon or fist Stun gun, brass knuckles or chains; turn this disco into a pit Chorus Oh my God, what have I done This is not what I wanted, not what I thought it would be I want my life when it was mine I don't want to be a wrong man A slave to the client's hand I don't want to be a wrong man A slave to the client's hand Chorus

Three 04:20
lyrics

All eyes upon us as we walk into the club I take the lead to stop at the bar and medicate They’re playing our song, run, don't walk to the dance floor So move with me, groove with me, feels so good it must be fate Chorus: Everywhere I look I see millions of girls But they can't replace The center of my world Hand in hand we spin around Where has the time gone? Always goes too damn fast 1, 2, 3, 4 dancing away the night at Three How cool is that? As a matter of fact I can't think of another place I'd rather be Chorus Tracing your eyes and your lips, emotion overflows They don't walk like you or talk like you I can't let you go Chorus

Kill Site 03:12
lyrics
buy track
A slave to the system, a pawn in the game A puppet for the one who has no name Pedal and push the drugs that make me rich When you fall to the cops I don't exist Pre-chorus: Follow the plan, do as your told No way out, your bought and sold Nowhere to run, it’s as you fear Cross the system and you'll disappear Chorus: I am your nightmare I can make you disappear The judge, the jury I'm the executioner Dump the surveillance, leave it on the street Draw the heat away before we meet Know the locations and the routines These are the places you shouldn't be Pre-chorus Chorus The victims are random, they pay the price No one can hear them, taken out of the way The kill site is never the same place twice Move the body to a different place to decay Chorus

F.I.S.T. 04:20
lyrics
buy track
I play the game that drives me insane Adrenaline rush on my brain I got the focus and the attitude Do or die, I've got no time to loose Pre-chorus: This time it’s for real I stand to face the challenge Clenching fate in my fist Victory will be mine in the end Chorus: F.I.S.T. Survival of the fittest F.I.S.T. Curl my fingers to a fist I bring it and throw it down Is that your ass on the ground? In the zone and full of Zen You gonna get up and try again? Pre-chorus Chorus I'm on fire It’s come down to the wire I feel the hesitation I sense the tension I see the opposition Now begin my demolition I unleash the beast onto the street King of the mountain, the one to beat Out for blood and going for the kill Unstoppable and iron will Pre-chorus Chorus

Pieces of Eight 05:14
lyrics
buy track
All aboard the man-of-war Scurvy dog leave ye mistress ashore Gunners and monkeys, all hands on deck Land lubber dare ye join us and challenge death Pre-chorus: The scourge of the seven seas Making legends and history Pillage, plunder and rape Feed the hunger of me mates Chorus: Dead men tell no tales Death before surrender Me only true love be the sea Running rum and gold league after league Over the home of mermaids and whales The breath of God be the wind in our sails Pre-chorus Chorus No prey no pay, you'll get your weight in gold Pieces of eight, from the treasure we stole Attempt mutiny and walk the plank To Davey Jones Locker ye shall sink Chorus

Sharp Dressed Man (ZZ Top cover) 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Clean shirt, new shoes And I don't know where I am goin' to. Silk suit, black tie, I don't need a reason why. They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Gold watch, diamond ring, I ain't missin' not a single thing. And cuff links, stick pin, When I step out I'm gonna do you in. They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Top coat, top hat, I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat. Black shades, white gloves, Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love. They come runnin' just as fast as they can 'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
