Guard the Gate
[verse]
Come dance with the walking dead
Eternal sleep in Satan’s bed
Lay down, while the beast will decide if you shall die
Three heads looking down on you
The underworld obey the rules
The dog, won’t hesitate to regulate
[chorus]
Open hells door
Chewing up the souls and spit them out
Open hells door
You shall not pass you leave no doubt
Open hells door
Patiently await accept your fate
Open hells door
Dear Cerberus you guard the gate
[verse]
Mortals come but they lightly tread
The dungeon of Hades web
One year, you will reside if you survive
The only out the keeper dies
Rise up immortal cries
Set free, the hero known as Hercules
Guard the gate
Guard the gate
Oh
[chorus]
[outro]
Guard the gate
You guard the gate
You guard the gate
C’mon

Hunted Man
[verse]
Day breaks, so bright
Survived the death of night
Never be free
For as long as I breathe
Waste of a life
I did wrong but thought it was right
Stuck in the sights
The walking sacrifice
[pre chorus]
My backs against the wall
Yeah they’re coming for me
See the whites of their eyes
Oh that cannot be
How far can I run?
Without being seen
I’m human prey
I might die today
[chorus]
The stars shining bright
On these sleepless nights
Oh you’ll never understand
What it’s like to be a hunted man yeah
[verse]
The mind wears thin
My thoughts all turn to grim
Hard to remain
The border of insane
No where to hide
I am buried alive
Hold me again, again
Once more before I’m dead
[prechorus]
[chorus]
The stars shining bright
On these sleepless nights
Oh you’ll never understand
What it’s like to be a hunted man
I remember reaching for your hand
But God changed the plans
Oh you’ll never understand
What it’s like to be a hunted man yeah
They’re coming for me
They’re coming for me
They’re coming for me
Hunted man
[final chorus]
Those stars shine bright
Those sleepless night
You’ll never know
What it’s like
What it’s like
What it’s like

Memory Fades
[verse]
Times crept up on me yeah
One of life’s mysteries
Holding to the years as they fly by on by
Can’t remember the days
Damn it’s the hell the price that you pay
Through the laughs, the tears and the cries
We survived
Can’t hit rewind
Or stop the hands of time
Keeps marching on and on
After we’re gone
[pre chorus]
As the days keep passing by
More and more thoughts escape my mind
[chorus]
Into the darkness we shall fade away
Reaching back
Searching for the brighter days
Keep on looking all around
But they’ve gone away
Moment’s right, hold it tight
The memory fades
[verse]
Stories that we told yeah
Precious moments that we hold
Melting in my brain and they’ve gone away, away
Seasons always change
But your stamp on the world remains
Living for today
Makes my past more gray
[pre chorus]
[chorus]
[outro]
Locked away
Never seen again
It’s lost and its gone
Time crept up on me
Not ready to go
The moment’s right
You better hold it tight
The memory

Lift the Curse
[verse]
Got this hex put on me
It’s messing with my head
Nothing’s going right now
Disaster strikes my life again
But I won’t stop, oh no I’ll never quit
Even through of all of the dark of it
To find that fighter inside of me
And set it free
[chorus]
Lift the curse (lift the curse)
Free your mind and live again (live again)
Bad luck see me come
I get tired of running
Lift the curse (lift the curse)
Trust tomorrow’s a better day (be a better day)
Even if it’s not
I’m pushing it forward
Oh yeah
[verse]
Time to break me free
I’m done with all of this
Hit me when I’m down again
Rise up, I’m the better man
Can’t lay down
No that would be a sin
Feels as though I will never win
Shake this black cloud from me
And leave it be
[chorus]

Torn
[verse]
I like the way that it feels yeah
I guess I went and found a better addiction
A selfish way to be, they say
I need to move in another direction yeah
[pre chorus 1]
The demons call on me no fear
My self loathing, loving so clear
Won’t you take me away?
When I need to escape
There’s no helping me
On the deep descend
[chorus]
So I go
On until I reach the end
I’m so torn
Don’t know where to begin
I love the wrong how do I go on?
[verse]
Love the nectar of guilt so sweet
My newest euphoric obsession
Begging for another taste
Infatuated with this disease, yeah
[pre chorus 2]
The voices dancing in my head
Keep calling me but I’m already dead
Would you stay with me?
Even if it will hurt
I might love you more
For what that’s worth
[chorus]
[2nd half chorus 2]
Where this leads
The road will always deceive
One bad turn
Cast me away from home
[2nd half chorus 3]
Where this leads
The road will always deceive
One bad turn
Cast me away from my home

Water to Wine
[verse]
Gather all around
For breaking of the bread
Join us in our prayer
By bowing your head
We need a miracle
We need a miracle
Touching of the hands
Curing the disease
Freeing all the sick
From their leprosy
We need a miracle
We need a miracle
[pre chorus]
We rise to fall
In your arms
We rise and fall
[chorus]
Down upon your knees (on your knees)
The skies will open wide (open up wide)
He’ll turn
Water to wine
Down upon your knees (on your knees)
The skies will open wide (they’ll open wide)
He’ll turn
Water to wine
[verse]
All that fell deaf
Can hear the babies cry
Stop all the bleeding
And healing of the blind
We need a miracle
We need a miracle
Resurrect the dead
For all the world to see
Genuflect respect
To the almighty
We need a miracle
We need a miracle

Chained
[verse]
Look in my eyes
And you will feel
The great divide
A heart so heavy and sad
That it cries
The darkest hours
They have come
Can’t trust anyone
Keep on pushing me away
[pre chorus]
Live for me
Breathe for me
Die for me
Oh I need your prayers
[chorus]
To walk the edge
Of good and evil
Can’t break free
Chained to me
I want to heed
But the devil’s in the air
So don’t push me
[verse]
Cut my flesh so deep
And smash my bones
Restrain is pain
And hope is none
As the anger builds
Can’t hold it back
The release will come
As this poison takes control
[pre chorus]
[chorus]
[last chorus]
To walk the edge
Of good and evil
Can’t break free
Chained to me
I want to heed
But the devil’s in the air
So don’t push me
Off the edge

My Skin
[intro]
At this point in time
Progress has failed
And we’ve reached an impasse
[verse]
I’ve been trying all of my life
Through the pain and sacrifice
I can’t be somebody else
Strike a match and watch it burn
Hold the world as it turns
I’m at peace with myself
Open up reject the change
Loneliness it fills my veins
I’m trying to be somebody else
[chorus]
They won’t ever see
The fires are burning in me
Feel the anger first
Come set me free at last
What lies beneath
My skin
[verse]
Oh I dealt the blow
And it got me labeled
A reckless son of a bitch
Oh pendulum swings in time
And it’s got me hypnotized
I’m a reckless son of a bitch
[chorus]
[outro]
Oh revenge
It lives in my skin
Deceit
It lives in my skin

Into the Fire
[verse]
The blue skies turned to grey
Smoke seeped in quiet and grave
Hell was on earth to stay
Terminate all, judgement day
Kill us, kill us all
For God to see
Failure
Death shall be
[verse]
The heavens will divide
To swallow all of mankind
The voices shout in pain
The creator forced his reign
[chorus]
Will you comfort me?
And catch my fall
As darkness comes
The divine will kill us all
Into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
Will you lay with me?
As death descends
The fire rains
Inferno of the end
Earth to Ash
Will you comfort me?
And catch my fall
As darkness comes
The divine will kill us all
Kill us all
[verse]
We let the savior down
In our blood we’ll die and drown
Those who think they will survive
Shall touch the flames and burn alive
[chorus]

Untied
[verse]
Oh, ready to go
Let’s stand toe to toe
Oh, you had this all coming
Now I’ll fix your ass tonight
Oh, I’m ready to fight
Let’s make it right
Oh, everyone’s watching
You can’t hide
[pre chorus]
Go behind my back
And you shame my name
You go and shame my name
Never knew words could drive me insane
You’re driving me insane
Now you’re standing here and you deny
You can’t deny
All the facts that you’re caught in a lie
[chorus]
Blind by pride
You wanna talk that shit?
And I’ll come untied
Blind by pride
You wanna talk that shit?
And I will come untied
Better walk away
[verse]
Oh, I see your fear
The time is here
Oh, you wanna make a break
But there’s gonna be a war
Your body falls
Ah, to the floor
Ah, shut your mouth
And talk that shit no more
[pre chorus]
[chorus]
[outro]
Oh I’m ready to go
