1: Desire to Fire
Won't you fuck this pressure , c'mon, yeah/ We turn desire to fire electric spark to the wire/ highered the stakes when we brought this monster/ life prevail by daring to fail others content just to sail/ hail the future we bring/ we bring chaos to blocks like riots to watts blow up spots,/ taking the crown off the top notch/ create the pace that you all will follow/ sporadic flow buckles up like a calico/ We D-O smoke sensmilla vodka and C-O-K-E is the real deal/ you flubber, never had to suffer/ life's gettin harder and it's only getting rougher/ save some for me cant stop what were going to be / Chorus: walk with me and take this seed a fire for you so dare to fail will you/ when my pen hits pad it results in catastrophe/ words and verbs come to form a disaster/ if you want it, you got it never hit I spot it/ now come and watch me rise/ all the tools, that blew more money than Latrell/ you tell, I don't know you think I know you too well you fell/ and stumbled laughin as you tumbled/ I guess you forgot about the power we rock/ coz "ALL HAIL THE" Machine Head battery/ the good, the bad, the ugly/ damaging your battery yeah you been fucked stuck in a rut/ your life has been sucked your tail has been tucked/ save some for me can't stop what were going to be/ just watch as as i demonstrate the reason we dominate/ chorus/ If we stand alone and believe it all and you tell me it's all I believe in/ yes we stand alone and believe it all if you tell me it's all we believe in / because we we'll chew and spit you out/ and pray upon the weaker / take what we want / chorus/
2: Nothing Left/
Withered away I see it/ Every day complacent/ Desecrates the fabric of lies/ Emptiness fills inside me Bitterness has denied me/ Faith like this well/ Could I really give a shit/ When I feel it/ Come falling/ I turn you away/ I am the things that you fear/ My leap of faith without a sound/ Don't push my back against the wall/ Yes I have strength will never fall, will never/ Withered inside/ This soul has petrified/ As concrete fills the skies/ This life is disarray/ Consequence every action/ Brings violence from the passions/ Loneliness the emotion withering inside/ When I feel it/ Come falling/ I turn you away/ I am the things that you fear/ My leap of faith without a sound / Don't push my back against the wall/ Yes I have strength will never fall/ I feel around the fall is on/ For so long I've been away..away/ For years to now been holdin' on/ For so long I've been away.. away/ I have nothing left for nobody else/ I have nothing left for nobody/ Feel it/ Come falling/ I turn you away/ I am the things that you fear/ My leap of faith without a sound/ Don't push my back against the wall/ Yes I have strength will never fall/
3: The Blood, the Sweat, the Tears/
Yes I've walked the path thats righteous/ Many men have walked before/ Yeah this pain cell, the broken shell/ Scraped, shackled onto the floor/ So welcome to the world that I lived in/ Puking out violent hate/ My world entered a false recluse/ Sickening from disease/ But then I see/ This thing in me/ Make me want it more than you/ But I deny your flesh/ Cause pain's my wish/ Racing on self destruct/ So hold on to the end.../ Its all about the blood, the sweat, the tears/ A tribute to the strength built through the years/ Oh yes I've walked the path that / gives me confidence strong and pure/ Now I realized that freedom rises / from confronting the source/ I built these walls around me/ And I can't break them all away/ And I focus on the strength I call/ Insufferable and insane/ So hold on to the end.../ Its all about the blood, the sweat, the tears/ A tribute to the strength built through the years/ A tribute to soul.../ Take this/ Focus/ Madness/ To take.../ ...hold...on...on...on.../ hold on.. falling.. please let go../ hold on.. i'm falling... i'm falling down again.../ Its all about the blood, the sweat, the tears/ Attribute to the strength built through the years/ A tribute cos time will set 'em off/ Cos time will set 'em off/
4: Silver
Yes, I hold some keys of gold/ A cigarrette, a silver bullet/ Angels crying day and night/ The world is our stage/ Look inside and try and find the part of me that tore/ I wish I knew what I got through Behind.../ Take my hand across this land/ Escape this, all the hell inside / Create this man to make my stand / And break this hardened shell inside/ I see the man in me/ The lines along my face are drawn in / I believe reflections bleed / The sorrows of the souls / Let me know the hurt that shows / And wish it all away / Cos now you'll see all this pain in me collide.../ Take my hand across this land / Escape this all the hell inside/ Create this man to make my stand / And break this hardened shell in... / I see the walls around me fall around me/ And everything's alright/ I see the god amoung me fall amoung me / And everything's beside / I see the walls around you, tie and bound you / Drown cos you're so cold.. Cold.. Cold.. / Take my hand across this land / Escape this all the hell inside/ Create this man to make my stand/ And Break this hardened shell inside/ So take my hand and cross this land/ And Break this hardned shell in, hardened shell in, hardened shell inside.../
5: From This Day
Go, 1,2,3,4,/ Yeah, Yeah, You gotta / Stand tall and cut away the ties/ Drop Balls and hold that head up high/ The world is fast and youth aint gonna wait/ So grab a hold before it gets to late/ Bare your soul and strip away the cold/ Of withered life thats past so gray and old/ Cause all the pain that thats filled these eyes you see/ Has made them bleed just recently/ Tears that made me/ Ashamed to be me/ But that gave me/ Strength to see me/ Made a spark that/ Lit the dark/ Let me shine/ Chorus:/ Time to see, believe this in me/ This pain that i feel deep inside/ Cause its time when you come together, peel together/ Better now so do it now or never/ I fall sleep to freeways far from here/ Spend half the night just drinking beer/ >From this day on shall be the words/ My flesh and bones shall make it heard/ Dont you test Ill have to mess with you/ Do my best so fuck the rest of you/ One of these days/ You'll see I've always been right/ Chorus I can feel this pain is real I never wanted anything from you, you/ And it makes me glad/ When i see the sun/ And it makes me sad/ When you feel my one/ And i thank my god/ Got a girl like you/ And i thank my god/ Did you save me/ Chorus/
6: Exhale the Vile/
Can't match the stare within these eyes/ Do you have the strength for all your lies/ Can't stand the pain with which i see/ This integrity is what i breathe / I inhale this life i gave to you / And exhale the vile/ Time will tell Because my friend and/ Never will I concede the end / Cause catarac resin fills my eyes / Never gonna see the man Through your fake lie/ Tell me the things that'll take time/ To help see the things That'll take this / Burn inside of me/ Can't feel the sting from words gone by / Can't keep the papers filled with lies / Ten fold, this confidence I breed/ Created back the words I see/ I'll inhale this gift I gave to you/ And exhale the vile / Kill this fire with gasoline/ Convictions I spit, my faith obscene / Heretic Jackals worship liars / Forever I'll be the god that you desire / Tell me the things that'll take time/ To help see the things that'll take this/ And hold onto things that'll make my/ To make me the thing that breaks this/ Burn inside of me/ Time will tell because my friend and/ Never will I concede the end/ Heretic Jackals worship liars/ Forever I'll be the god that you desire / Tell me the things that'll take time/ To help see the things that'll take this / And hold onto things that'll make my / To make me the thing that breaks this Burn inside of me/ Burn inside of me, Burn inside of me, Burn inside of me/
7: Message in a Bottle
Just a castaway/ An island lost at sea / Another lonely day / There's no one here but me / More loneliness than any man could bare/ Rescue me before I fall into despair/ I send an SOS to/ I send an SOS to / I hope that someone gets my... / I hope that someone gets my... / I hope that someone gets my.../ Message in a bottle... Message in a bottle... / A year has been since I wrote my note / But I should have known this right from the start / Only hope can keep us together yeah / Love can mend your life but love can break your heart/ I send an SOS to / I send an SOS to/ I hope that someone gets my/ I hope that someone gets my/ I hope that someone gets my/ Message in a bottle Message in a bottle / I'm sending out an SOS.../
8: Devil with the King's Card/
I will see your rise and fall/ I will be your rise and fall/ I will make your rise and fall/ I'll create your rise and fall/ And I will be your/ Got bored with me because I'm/ Born with conviction/ >From a pain you'll never ever understand, understand/ Never forget what I said cause you ain't half of me/ I'll tear down and break anything that stands in front of me/ I'm taking down what the fuck is ever in my way/ So get away/ I will see your rise and fall/ I will be your rise and fall/ I will make your rise and fall/ I'll create your rise and fall/ And I will be your/ But for me I'll forgive despite your actions/ Cos you never ever ever act on what you said/ That you said/ Give it to me, let it be,/ But you're the one who quit/ You said it yourself, I'm the best/ and you can handle it/ The cry, watch how Machine Head takes it all, it all/ And i feel for you/ Cos your eyes they whore/ And I think I hurt/ Cos of something more than/ You see I'm falling / All apart/ Cos your eyes they/ Decide your heart/ / Rise and fall/ And I will make the walls fall/ And I will make the walls fall/ And I will make the walls fall/ And I will make the walls fall/ Down.. Down.. Fall down.. Fall down../ I will see you rise and fall/ I will be you rise and fall/ I will make you rise and fall/ I'll create your rise and fall/ And I will be your/
9: I Defy/
Be my one/ Would you take my son?/ Would you tell someone whether we had fun?/ With your hero, double zero/ Gonna suck around your fearo/ Then I'm never ever falling again/ Would you take my grace/ Look into my face/ With your limp handshake/ And your smile thats fake/ Would you back my fight/ Say you're down for life/ Well its easy to say when you weren't doin' nothing/ My God makes me long for a better way/ You fear my strength if we're backed into a cage/ Because I,/ I defy/ See my fate/ Underestimate/ I intoxicate while you emulate/ With the users and the losers/ Suckin' up to the abusers/ And I'm never ever fallin' again/ For the tricks you play/ All the fronts you claim/ And you just cant fake/ The respect I make/ You're a parasite/ You conform on site/ You're a leak and a cheat/ Always weak and always will be/ Maker makes me long for a better way/ You fear my strength if we're backed into a cage/ Because I,/ I defy/ So burn it apart son/ I'll give it away/ I'll see/ Why didn't you end the pain/ I can't take this/ I can't fake this/ I will break this/ I will make this/ Cause/ I defy/
10: Five
I remember, it was the month October/ In a garage, i was standing scared and somber/ I could smell your breathing, and the pain your leaving/ So ashamed, i'm feeling/ And now i am left to fate/ For all the times i'd be losing my mind/ You molest and destroy just a five year old boy/ And you make me suffer, motherfucker/ Ripped my heart out/ It was so good/ I remember words that never left me/ For a scull of silver here's what you'd do for me/ If you tell, i'll kill you/ Rip the child out from you/ Wish that i could stop you/ Please god make this go away/ For all the times I've been losing my mind/ You molest and destroy just a five year old boy/ And you make me suffer, mother fucker/ Ripped my heart out/ Innocence was lost/ And i feel it/ I can't take it/ I don't want it/ Anymore/ Was only five/ And i feel it/ Cant take it anymore/ For all the times i heard you/ Say in my goddamned mind/ Make it sooner if i suck you/ I'd make you suffer/ Make you suffer/ Motherfucker/ For all the times i'd be losing my mind/ You molest and destroy just a five year old boy/ And you make me suffer, motherfucker/ Ripped my heart out../ ...I was only five.../ ...Five.../
11: The Burning Red
I see the sun begin to rise / And I'm wounded I've seen the world from painted eyes/ That I'm crying through I watch the darkness hit the tides/ And confide in... Hold On/ I'm falling / Can't breathe anymore/ The ocean has opened/ These scars need to heal / Caress the needle prick in my eye/ The tears fell like rain / I've rode the phoenix as she glides/ And I've gone insane I've seen the light of suicide / And I'm dying Hold on,/ I'm falling / Can't breathe anymore/ And the Ocean has opened / These Scars need to heal/ Hold on I'm falling, can't reach... reach... / Colder and colder Just hold onto me /
