ROPE
WILL THIS BE THE END?
THERE’S STILL SOME TIME TO GO
LOOK DEEP INSIDE YOUR BONES
YOU’RE STANDING ON YOUR OWN
OWN THE SPACE IN WHICH YOU BREATHE
‘COS SOON IT’S TIME TO LEAVE
WONT YOU LET YOUR MANTRA BE
“THIS ONE’S FOR ME”?
I BET YOU WISH THIS WAS THE END
WELL IT’S YOUR FINAL THROW
SO PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME
IT’S ALL YOU’RE LEFT WITH NOW
NOW YOU’VE TRADED-IN YOUR FRIENDS
AND YOU LOST YOUR SELF RESPECT
ALL I EVER WANTED TO SEE
WAS YOUR HAND RAISED IN PROTEST
GIVE YOU ENOUGH ROPE
BUT STILL YOU’RE YET TO HANG
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO HOLD
IT’S YOU THAT BINDS YOUR HANDS
HANDED EVERYTHING YOU NEED
YOU COULDN’T GROW THIS FROM THE SEED
ALL I EVER HEAR YOU SCREAM
IS LET ME BE FREE
YOU CAN MAKE ME WAIT
I SAID I’M POISED WITH BAITED BREATH
AND I’M FAR BEYOND THE DEPTH
OF WHERE YOU LAY TO REST
REST THE EYES THAT COULD NOT SEE
YOU COULDN’T PAY FOR YOUR RELEASE
I WONT ASK YOU TO BELIEVE
THE WORDS OF A THEIF

BATS
Yeah, MEET ME DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE
BE THERE JUST AFTER DARK
YOU’LL KNOW ME WHEN YOU SEE ME
I’LL BE STANDING IN THE MOONLIGHT
NEAR WHERE THE BATS ALL ROOST
AND I’LL BE LOOKING AT THE SKY (X2)
THROUGH A TELESCOPE THAT YOU CANT SEE
LOOKING AT THE SKY
I'll TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY TO THE OUTER LIMITS
AWAY FROM HERE SO FAR AWAY
NEARER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE
AWAY FROM HERE SO FAR AWAY
Yet NEARER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE
TAKE YOU TO THE PARADOX
STAND you ON THE SHORE
SURF WASH UP AROUND YOUR MIND
LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE
YOU CANT GET ENOUGH
No YOU CANT GET ENOUGH
You CANT GET ENOUGH
YOUR’E ON YOUR OWN
YOU CANT GET ENOUGH
No YOU CANT GET ENOUGH
You CANT GET ENOUGH
YOUR’E ON YOUR OWN

Crystals
Conjuring your demons
Crystal balls will tell you
Lies about your future
Crystal balls they lie
Get your dirty hands off me
When I see you
I am happy
I don’t worry
Get your dirty hands off me
And she told me
That we’d meet up
Just like this
Get your dirty hands off me
You only learned to serve yourself
Your world and nothing else
Conjuring your demons
Crystal meth will tell you
Lies about your future
Crystal meth will lie
Get your dirty hands off me
I don’t hate you
Yes I hate you
Now I love you
Get your dirty hands off me
It’s in your eyes
See reflections
Are they demons?
Get your dirty hands off me
You only learned to serve yourself
Your world and nothing else
Conjuring your demons
Crystal balls will tell you
Lies about your future
Crystal balls they lie

Feed the Greed

Feed the greed
I can taste it in the air
This place I know
Wish I could stay
Wish I could go
Would It kill me to end up here?
For all the bad and all the good
The same everywhere
You’ve got your paradise and I got mine
Don’t tell me what’s best where
Wear me down
Wear me out
You’ll see I’m indestructible
Strong, stronger than I’ll ever be
You’d better watch out
I’ll take you out
Think twice
And I’ve taken you down (Down, down, down)
Greed 24/7 always
You play the game
You know the rules
Sell your life for one last spin of the wheel
Wear me down
Wear me out
You’ll see I’m indestructible
I can taste it in the air
This place I know
Wish I could stay
Wish I could go
Would It kill me to end up here?
For all the bad and all the good
The same everywhere
You’ve got your paradise and I got mine
Don’t tell me what’s best where
Roll your dice
Six Six Six
They’ll see
I’m indestructible

FROM SAND
FROM SAND
WE BUILD OUR CASTLES
FINGERS CROSSED THEY WILL WITHSTAND
THE SEA AND ALL OUR STUPID BATTLES
BETWEEN YOU AND ME
I’VE SEEN THEM FALL BEFORE
THEY WILL BECOME THE SHORE
WE’LL WALK ACROSS THEM ALL ONCE MORE
GRAIN BY GRAIN
WE WILL COUNT
FLAME BY FLAME
WILL GO OUT
UNTIL WE COUNT AGAIN
FIRST HAND
WE LEARN OUR LESSONS
BRING ACROSS THE BETTER MAN
HIS WIFE THEIR KIDS AND THEIR POSESSIONS
BETWEEN YOU AND ME
YOU’VE MET THEM ALL BEFORE
THEY WILL BECOME THE CORE
WE WILL HIDE BEHIND THEM ALL ONCE MORE
GRAIN BY GRAIN…
ONE OF US NEEDS TO GROW, ONE OF US NEEDS TO KNOW
THE OTHER ONE SHOULD REMAIN IN THE DARK UNTIL THE DAY WHEN THE PATH TO THE LIGHT IS SHOWN
IF WE EVER GET THERE, IF WE EVER GET SCARED
WHO WILL HOLD THE HAND OF A WOMAN OR A MAN UNTIL THE DAY THAT THEY’RE SPARED?
GRAIN BY GRAIN
CELL BY CELL
CREEPING INTO YOU
BUT YOU CANT TELL
UNTIL WE COUNT AGAIN

Fire in the Hole

FIRE IN THE HOLE
Come with me to rob the graves
In the city of the dead
Discover the hypocrisy
And our species could be saved
From sand the pharaohs rise
Temple of fucking lies
Are you prepared for this?
Enter the necropolis
I feed on your flesh, become one with me
Sold your soul and bought what they said
Another victim of the spider’s web
Took your body now I’m in your head
Enter my world of the living dead
You’re dead…you’re dead… you’re dead… you’re dead…
Ride to the temple, joining hands,
Lay yourself out for me
Die on the inside, darkness falls
With these hands I take your dreams
There’s a bomb, there’s a bomb, there’s a fire in the hole
There’s a bomb, there’s a bomb, there’s a fire in the hole
There’s a bomb, there’s a bomb, there’s a fire in the hole
There’s a bomb, there’s a bomb, there’s a fire in the hole
Come with me to fill the graves
In the city of the dead
Dismantle your theocracy
And our species could be saved
From sand the armies rise
Another temple of fucking lies
Are you prepared for this?
Enter the apocalypse
I drank the wine and you broke the bread
Blinkered eyes only seeing red
Some will starve but we’re over fed
Leave the world of the living dead
I drank the wine and you broke the bread
Blinkered eyes only seeing red
Some will starve but we’re over fed
Leave the world of the living dead
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die
If you come with me you will never die

Pure Alcohol
These spare tyres in here
Are piled around
Weighing me down
When they set me on fire
The flames will rage higher
My funeral pyre
Please don’t burn me
My blood is pure alcohol
I’ll take you with me
This fire is out of control
These vampires in here
Are creeping around
Hunting me down
When they sink in their teeth
The blood tastes so sweet
They feed for a week
Please don’t bite me
My blood is pure alcohol
I’ll take you with me
This hunt is out of control
So now I’m like them
No need to pretend
Surrounded by friends
You can be with us too
If you know what to do
If you fuck all the rules
You fuck all the rules…(Repeat)

PIG BITCH
FREEDOM IS WHAT YOU WANT
BUT WHAT YOU WANT
YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD ANYWAY
THESE DAYS WHAT YOU NEED
WHAT YOU NEED
IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAY
BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU LIKE
BUT WHAT YOU LIKE
IT ISN’T ALWAYS GOOD FOR YOU
SO LEAVE IT AND WALK AWAY
WALK AWAY
AND MAYBE WE WILL FOLLOW YOU
MAYBE YOU’LL FOLLOW ME
MAYBE WE’LL FOLLOW YOU
MAYBE YOU’LL FOLLOW ME
MAYBE WE’LL FOLLOW YOU
Oooh Yeah Yeah Allright

Yeah Yeah Allright
You're the Pigbitch baby
Your MOUTH LIKE A SCATTER GUN
YOU’RE THE PIG BITCH BABY
YEAH YOUR WORDS ARE EMPTY
Your MOUTH LIKE A SCATTER GUN PIG BITCH MOMMA
ALL MEN ARE EQUAL HERE
BUT IN YOUR EYES
NONE OF THEM WILL RISE TO YOU
RAGE CRAWLS BENEATH YOUR SKIN
BENEATH YOUR SKIN
THAT IS WHERE THE HATE BEGINS
FEED HOPE WHEN YOU PREACH
BUT WHEN YOU PREACH
IS IT ONLY GOOD FOR YOU?
YOU MAY TALK
TALK ALL DAY
BUT WILL THE MASSES EVER HEAR A WORD YOU SAY?
Oooh Yeah Yeah Allright
You're the Pigbitch baby
Yeah Yeah Allright
You're the Pigbitch baby
Your MOUTH LIKE A SCATTER GUN

M.O.M
You won’t even swallow
All those lines you bought
Like there’s no tomorrow
All you do is talk
You want to find me well I’m walking away
Come back and see me when you’ve something to say
I couldn’t catch you when you wanted to fall
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all
You want to find me well I’m walking away (away)
Come back and see me when you’ve something to say (to say)
I couldn’t catch you when you wanted to fall (to fall)
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all........
Yeah I can see it all over your face
Yeah, Those white lies might come back round
And though you’re comfortable in your disgrace
Don’t let it pull you down
You won’t even swallow
Call yourself a whore?
Don’t care who you follow
All you need is more
You want to find me well I’m walking away
Come back and see me when you’ve something to say
I couldn’t catch you when you wanted to fall
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all
You want to find me well I’m walking away (away)
Come back and see me when you’ve something to say (to say)
I couldn’t catch you when you wanted to fall (to fall)
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all........
Yeah I can see it all over your face
Yeah, Those white lies might come back round
And though you’re comfortable in your disgrace
Don’t let it pull you down
You won’t even swallow
Those pills to make you sane
Steal what you could borrow
And don’t pass on the blame
You want to find me well I’m walking away
Come back and see me when you’ve something to say
I couldn’t catch you when you wanted to fall
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all
You want to find me well I’m walking away (away)
Come back and see me when you’ve something to say (to say)
I couldn’t catch you when you wanted to fall (to fall)
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all
You ask for nothing
You ask for nothing
(x4)
You ask for nothing but you’re taking it all………. (Go go) x7
