Come on in. We've have something for everyone's taste. You seem like a bright young boy. What's the matter, you afraid?"



NOTHING'S FREE

You and me understand Shake my hand Last chance, little man Ain't it grand? It's a bargain It's a steal 30 pieces of silver And a deal's a deal Sign upon the dotted line I'll be yours and you'll be mine Nothing's free Eventually Nothing's free from the rules and laws of morality Free to take your fill Free from your own free will Nothing's free My, boy, it's getting late I'll raise the stakes So close Control your fate Why hesitate? Seal the deal Close the sale Take my hammer Drive the nail Sign upon the bloody line A drop of yours, a drop of mine Nothing's free Eternally Nothing's free from your conscience Or free from the consequence Free to sin to death Free till your final breath Nothing's free, ah no Free from the claws And flaws of your family Free from obedient life You're cut like a double-edged knife Nothing's free Nothing's free Ah, you pay me Free to ignore the bore of authority Free to spit in the face Be the winningest rat in the race till judgement day Then nothing's free Bow to me if you wanna be free Free from life, come and die with me And when we're dead, it's for eternity Come on, little one, and dance in the fire The heat's getting close and the flame's getting higher When the music's over there's a hush in the choir Nothing's free When the trumpets sound and his light is all around The saints all raise from the graves in the ground We'll be going way downtown, way downtown I wanna be free... But you're free Isn't that what you wanted?

STOLEN PRAYER

I walk the streets alone On feeble bones, I ride My sins are etched in stone I got no place to hide Well, I was unshakable In what I did believe I feel so breakable But have I been deceived? You showed me your paradise And your carnival of souls But my heart keeps telling me That ain't the place to go Well, I'm not invincible So I want you to leave Well, I'm so convincible But have I been deceived? I take your words and try 'em on Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy You tell me one size fits us all Yeah, like an old straightjacket Well, tell me why I'm so afraid All my words are spoken All my words are spoken All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer I remember yesterday When things were black and white Never thought I'd get confused On what was wrong and right Well, I'm not unbreakable With armour on my skin Well, it's not unthinkable I could be fooled again Well, I take your words and try 'em on Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy You tell me one size fits us all Yeah, like an old straightjacket Well, tell me why I'm so afraid All my words are spoken All my words are spoken All my words are spoken in a stolen prayer You steal another minute from my life, uh-huh You cut a little deeper with your knife You steal a little breath from my air And you don't care And even thought I'm chokin' All my words are spoken I take your words and try 'em on Yeah, it's a perfect fit, boy You tell me one size fits us all Yeah, like an old straightjacket Take this world and try it on Man, you're lookin' good boy Stick your neck out on the block So you won't miss nothing Stretch your finger, grab your hair Don't you feel like screaming?

LULLABY

I was the boy who said all of my prayers Laid my clean face on the pillow Tucked in real tight So safe and secure through the night I heard a noise, it was probably nothing It pulled me right out of a dream If I knew it was you I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream I'm the one who growls in your closet I'm the one who lives under your bed Get down Back where you started Get down Back into hell Your black soul You know you're black hearted I smell your sulfurous smell All of my things that I play with in daylight You turn into monsters at night My toys were my friends Until you taught them all how to bite You showed me things little boys shouldn't see You scared me with visions of fire You danced on my bed With the flames on your head dancing higher I'm the one who growls in your closet I'm the one who lives under your bed Get down Back where you started Get down Back into hell Your black soul You know you're black hearted I smell your sulfurous smell I tell you right now, I don't want your reptile embrace I don't want to follow you down to your place I don't want to be a child of disgrace, oh You can take your whiskey soaked Foaming at the mouth, toilet talking Pea soup spewing, sweating blood Demon breath out of my face Get down Back where you started Get down Back into hell Your black soul You know you're black hearted I smell that brimstone Get down Back where you started Get down Back into hell Your black soul You know you're black hearted I smell that sulfur I was the boy who said all of my prayers Laid my clean face on the pillow Tucked in real tight So safe and secure through the night

CLEANSED BY FIRE

I don't know but I've been told The streets of hell are paved with gold Crazy, crazy You told me that nothing's free Except my own insanity Crazy, maybe Wake me, shake me Wake me, shake me You offer me the world and all its wealth All for myself You promised me a life eternally And drink to my health I may seem only half-glued But I can see right through you Burn it up, burn it down Burn this sucker to the ground Oh yeah, oh yeah Going, going, going, gone There's a party going on Do you think I don't know who you are? A fallen star When I feel my soul scream out at night I know you're not far You need a better disguise This one won't win any prize Burn it up, burn it down Burn this sucker to the ground Oh yeah, oh yeah Going, going, going, gone There's a party going on And on and on and on and on and on Cleansed by fire Cleansed by fire I may seem only half-glued But I can see right through you What about dark? What about light? What about wrong? What about right? What about death? What about sin? What about the web you're trying to spin? What about truth? What about life? What about glory? What about Christ? What about peace? What about love? What about faith in God above? What about war? What about hell? What if I stumble? What if I fell? What about blood? What about greed? And all of these things you're offering me? Going, going, going, gone There's a party going on And on... Yeah, what about me? Little me You lose, I win You couldn't suck me in It's over, you have no power You're lost And I'm found And I'm, I'm Heaven bound Go back to where you belong To where you fell Go to hell
