Say your prayers little one,
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone,
Tuck you in, warm within,
Keep you free from sin,
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with your eye open, gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light, Enter: night,
Take my hand, off to never never land
Something's wrong, shut the light,
Heavy thoughts tonight,
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars,
Dreams of dragon's fire,
And of things that will bite
Sleep with your eye open, gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light, Enter: night,
Take my hand, off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Pray the lord my soul to keep,
If I die before I wake,
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word,
And never mind that noise you heard,
It's just the beasts under you bed,
In your closet, in your head
Sleep with your eye open, gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light, Enter: night,
Take my hand, off to never never land
Hey, I'm you life,
I'm the one who takes you there,
Hey, I'm your life,
I'm the one who cares,
They, They betray,
I'm your only true friend now,
They, They'll betray,
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real,
I'm your eyes, when my must steal,
I'm your pain, when you can't feel,
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray,
I'm your eyes, while you're away,
I'm your pain, while you repay,
You know it's sad but true
You, You're my mask,
You're my cover, my shelter,
You, You're my mask,
You're the one who's blamed,
Do, Do my work,
Do my dirty work, scapegoat,
Do, Do my deeds,
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real,
I'm your eyes, when my must steal,
I'm your pain, when you can't feel,
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray,
I'm your eyes, while you're away,
I'm your pain, while you repay,
You know it's sad but true
Hate, I'm your hate,
I'm your hate when you want love,
Pay, Pay the price,
Pay, For nothing's fair,
Hey, I'm your life,
I'm the one who took you there,
Hey, I'm your life,
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real,
I'm your eyes, when my must steal,
I'm your pain, when you can't feel,
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray,
I'm your eyes, while you're away,
I'm your pain, while you repay, You know it's sad but true
No More! The crap rolls out you mouth again,
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin,
Little whispers circle around your head,
Why don't you worry about yourself instead
Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue,
You lie so much you believe yourself,
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou,
You are
Holier than thou,
You are,
You know not
Before you judge me take a look at you,
Can't you find something better to do,
Point the finger, slow to understand,
Arrongance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are it's who you know,
Others lives are the basis of your own,
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth,
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou,
You are,
Holier than thou,
You are,
You know not
New blood joins this earth,
And quickly he's subdued,
Through constant pain disgrace,
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in,
This whipping boy done wrong,
Deprived of all his thoughts,
The young man struggles on and on he's known,
A vow unto his own,
That never from this day,
His will they'll take away
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives,
To running all of his,
He tries to please them all,
This bitter man he is,
Throughtout his life the same,
He's battled constantly,
This fight he cannot win,
A tired man they see no longer cares,
The old man then prepares,
To die regretfully,
That old man here is me
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me,
I'll label you,
So I dub thee unforgiven
...And the road becomes my bride,
I have stripped of all but pride,
So in her I do confide,
And she keeps me satisfied,
Gives me all I need
...And with dust in throat I crave,
Only knowledge will I save,
To the game you stay a slave,
Rover, Wanderer, Nomad Vagabond,
Call me what you will
But I'll take my time anywhere,
Free to speak my mind anywhere,
And I'll redefine anywhere,
Anywhere I roam,
Where I lay my head is home
...And the earth becomes my throne,
I adapt to the unknown,
Under wandering stars I've grown,
By myself but not alone,
I ask no one
...And my ties are severed clean,
The less I have teh more I gain,
Off the beaten path I reign,
Rover, Wanderer, Nomad, Vagabond,
Call me what you will
But I'll take my time anywhere,
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere,
And I'll never mind anywhere,
Anywhere I roam,
Where I lay my head is home
But I'll take my time anywhere,
Free to speak my mind anywhere,
And I'll take my find anywhere,
Anywhere I roam,
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone,
My body lie, but still I roam
Wherever I may roam
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail,
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail,
Never begins it, never but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
Don't tread on me
So be it,
Threaten no more,
To secure peace is to prepare for war,
So be it,
Settle the score,
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite,
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike,
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance,
The eyes, they never close, emblem or vigilance
Don't tread on me
So be it,
Threaten no more,
To secure peace is to prepare for war,
So be it,
Settle the score,
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
Don't tread on me
So be it,
Threaten no more,
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail,
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
So be it,
Threaten no more,
To secure peace is to prepare for war,
So be it,
Settle the score,
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...
Don't tread on me
All that is, was and will be,
Universe much to big to see
Time and space never ending,
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending,
Limitations of human understanding,
Too quick to criticize,
Obligation to survive,
We hunger to be alive
All that is, ever,
Ever was,
Will be ever,
Twisting,
Turning,
Through the never
In the dark, see past our eyes,
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens,
On a quest, meaning, reason,
Came to be, how it begun,
All alone in the family of the sun,
Curiosity teasing everyone,
On our home, third stone from the sun
All that is, ever,
Ever was,
Will be ever,
Twisting,
Turning,
Through the never
On through the never,
We must go,
On through the never,
Out the the,
Edge of forever,
We must go,
On through the never,
That never comes
All that is, ever,
Ever was,
Will be ever,
Who are we,
Ask forever,
Twisting,
Turning,
Through the never
Never
So close no matter how far,
Couldn't be much more from the heart,
Forever trusting who we are,
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way,
Life is ours, we live it our way,
All these words I don't just say,
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you,
Every day for us something new,
Open mind for a different view,
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do,
Never cared for what they know,
But I know
So close no matter how far,
Couldn't be much more from the heart,
Forever trusting who we are,
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do,
Never cared for what they know,
But I know
Never opened myself this way,
Life is ours, we live it our way,
All these words I don't just say,
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say,
Never cared for games they play
, Never cared for what they do,
Never cared for what they know,
And I know
So close no matter how are,
Couldn't be much more from the heart,
Forever trusting who we are,
No nothing else matters
Off through the new day's mist I run,
Out from the new day's mist I have come,
I hunt,
Therefore I am,
Harvest the land,
Taking of the fallen lamb
Off through the new day's mist I run,
Out from the new day's mist I have come,
We shift,
Pulsing with the earth,
Roaming the land while you sleep
Shape shift, Nose to the wind,
Shape shift, Feeling I've been,
Move swift, All senses clean,
Earth's gift, Back to the meaning of life
Bright is the moon hight in starlight,
chill in the air cold as steel tonight,
We shift,
Call of the wild,
Fear in your eyes,
It's later than you realized
Shape shift, Nose to the wind,
Shape shift, Feeling I've been,
Move swift, All senses clean,
Earth's gift, Back to the meaning of life
I feel a change,
Back to a better day,
Hair stands on the back of my neck,
In wildness is the preservation of the world,
So seek the wolf in thyself
Shape shift, Nose to the wind,
Shape shift, Feeling I've been,
Move swift, All senses clean,
Earth's gift, Back to the meaning of wolf and man
Pride you took,
Pride you feel,
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Not the word,
Not the love,
Not what you thought from above
It feeds,
It grows,
It clouds all that you will know,
Deceit,
Deceive,
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes,
Never you hear the discouraging lies,
I hear faith in your cries,
Broken is the promise, betrayal,
The healing hand helf back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Find your peace,
Find your say,
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave,
A child to save,
Left you cold and him in grave
It feeds,
It grows,
It clouds all that you will know,
Deceit,
Deceive,
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes,
Never you hear the discouraging lies,
I hear faith in your cries,
Broken is the promise, betrayal,
The healing hand helf back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
I see faith in your eyes,
Brokenis the promise, betrayal,
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Pride you took,
Pride you feel,
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Trust you gave,
A child to save,
Left you cold and him in grave
I see faith in your eyes,
Never you hear the discouraging lies,
I hear faith in your cries,
Broken is the promise, betrayal,
The healing hand helf back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
You just stood there screaming,
Fearing no one was listening to you,
They say the empty can rattles the most,
The sound of your own voice must soothe you,
Hearing only what you want to hear,
And knowing only what you've heard,
You You're smoothered in tragedy,
You're out to save the world
Misery, You insist that the weight of the world,
Should be on your shoulders,
Misery,
There's much more to life than what you see,
My friend of misery
You still stood there screaming,
No one caring about these words you tell,
My freind before your voice is gone,
One man's fun is another's hell,
These times are sent to try men's souls,
But something's wrong with all you see,
You You'll take it on all yourself,
Remember, Misery loves company
Misery,
You insist that the weight of the world,
Should be on your shoulders,
Misery,
There's much more to life than what you see,
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming,
My friend of misery
Reaching out for something you've got to feel,
While clutching to what you havd thought was real
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you,
No way of showing your gratitude,
So many things you don't want to do,
What is it? What have you got to lose
What the hell,
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite,
Boredom sets into the boring mind
Struggle within, It suits you fine,
Struggle within, Your ruin,
Struggle within, You seal your own coffin,
Struggle within, The struggling within
Home is not a home it becomes a hell,
Turning it into your prison cell,
Advantages are taken, not handed out,
While you struggle inside your hell
Reaching out,
Grabbing for something you've got to feel,
Closing in,
The pressure upon you is so unreal
Struggle within, It suits you fine,
Struggle within, Your ruin,
Struggle within, You seal your own coffin,
Struggle within, The struggling within
Reaching out for something you've go to feel,
While clutching to what you had thought was real,
What the hell
What is it you think you're gonna find,
Hypocrite,
Boredom sets into the boring mind
Struggle within, It suits you fine,
Struggle within, Your ruin,
Struggle within, You seal your own coffin,
Struggle within, The struggling within
