1. 25 Cents For A Riff

They thought you'd come with a bang
New age to end all their fears
Lightnings would Flash, steel would clang
It was a gift, not a joke
Mercy is dead – what a shame
Culture has gone up in smoke
A life and a riff worth the same...

Hope I'm not being unwise
But your price isn't too high
I must admit I despise

Stuck in this place for ages
How to move on – you don't know
The battle in you still rages
Just find a moment to spare
The crowd will show you the game
Black bargain's on fair and square
A life and a riff worth the same...

Time to make shit more precise
Your pedigree is enough
To raise the minimum price
Souls goin' cheap, who's to blame?
Business don't make any sense
A life and a riff worth the same

Bidding is through, ain't no jive
Hammer comes down with a biff
25 cents for a life and 25 cents for a riff

Bidding is through, ain't no jive
Hammer comes down with a biff
25 cents for a life and 25 cents for a riff

2. Me

Disgusting...
Disgusting individual...

Excuse me, please! Anything wrong?
Oh yes, I happened after all
Good thing I did – pressure was strong
I had no say, I couldn't stall

If I had not just come to be
Not a soul would have been touched
If by some chance there was no me
The world would not lose very much

The story is different with you
Though like before, I had no say
Your presence does pierce me right through
Your influence is here to stay

If it had not been for me
'You' would never be the same
If you had not come to be
'I' would have less guilt and shame

Disgusting...
Disgusting...
Disgusting...
Disgusting...
Disgusting individual...

Excuse me, please! Anything wrong?
Oh yes, I happened after all
Good thing I did – pressure was strong
I had no say, I couldn't stall
And if I happened somewhere else
Where black wind's rage is like a peck
Would I be in a better place?
Believe the burden round my neck?

Disgusting...
Disgusting...
Disgusting...
Disgusting...
Disgusting individual...

If I had not just come to be
Not a soul would have been touched
If by some chance there was no me
The world would not lose very much

3. God Hampered His Life

He never meant to do no wrong
But memories of his good deeds fade
He didn't take him very long
To raise the first black barricade

So if you're bothered by your god,
If ten commandments are for naught...

He never meant to do that, no
But he always fuckin' right
And always knew it, friends or foe?
The mostly kept him satisfied

So if you're bothered by your god,
If ten commandments are for naught,
You just remove him surgically
Reset your whole anatomy

One day the lord stood on his way
And took his women, the whole lot
He never did confirm his faith
He needs them all, no matter what

So if you're bothered by your god,
If ten commandments are for naught,
You just remove him surgically
Reset your whole anatomy

White powder soon became his choice
Hoping that god would miss the ploy
His brain was soon full of white noise
All friend were gone, fortune destroyed

Then god just took aways his booze
He never did confirm his faith
His inspiration had to loose
He broke his burbon DNA

So if you're bothered by your god,
If ten commandments are for naught,
You just remove him surgically
Reset your whole anatomy

4. Don't Drink Evil Things

They all say:
Don't drink evil things'
Wonder what they mean
They tell me:
Don't drink evil things'
Have they all been clean?

They all say:
Don't drink evil things'
Don't you swim upstream'
But I know what shit current brings
I'd lose my self-esteem.

Evil ones never go to hell
Yeah, it's time to fill the glass
We may fly, I may break the spell
Or fall on my ass.

They all say:
Turn this shit around,
Don't drink evil things'
Change the world? It will drag you down
Break your fuckin' wings.

Evil ones never go to hell
Yeah, it's time to fill the glass
We may fly, I may break the spell
Or fall on my ass.

I sure know where they're coming from
Crawling on lost ground
Where reason or words of wisdom
Could never be found.

Don't drink evil things'
They all say:
You know that's insane'
But they're all pouring me new drinks
Fuckin' with my brain.

Evil ones never go to hell
Yeah, it's time to fill the glass
We may fly, I may break the spell...

5. Chewed Alive

It was like an early warning
He was shaving in the morning
He felt bitten and empowered
As if he was being devoured

Wasn't much of a drug-taker
Dope don't seem like his life-breaker
God almighty from a distance
Played a trick with his existence

Whole house is filled with darkness
Demons speak with so much starkness

Soul was waning
Slowly draining
I'm chewing myself
Piece by piece

He would often call me crying
Saying half of him was dying
Then he'd write his tragic verses
On his life he'd throw his curses

Every morning he felt beaten
Half-devoured, partly eaten
Always struggling, always striving
Concentrating on surviving

Whole house is filled with darkness
Demons speak with so much starkness

Soul was waning
Slowly draining
I'm chewing myself
Piece by piece

Whole house is filled with darkness
Demons speak with so much starkness

Soul was waning
Slowly draining
I'm chewing myself
Piece by piece
Soul was waning
Slowly draining
I'm chewing myself...

6. Not By It's Cover

Coincidences?
He's more 'n' more suspicious now
Those controversial...
New revelations leaked out.

Whitewash
Stonewall

All deep dark secrets
Fabrication cover up
Wrapped in mystery
Even spookier than we thought.

7. Demise

A chic I knew back in the day
Has fallen in a nasty way
Why get her up after the fall?
She's not my woman after all.

And in a way, I borrowed her
She ain't my bitch, why should i care?
'Your bitch – your business', they all say
But she'll be yours just the next day.

I knew the day would finally come
when all breaks would fail the chum
The crash was loud, heard it from here
His cheeky grin just disappeared.

Ispent the last three drinking nights
With this one guy away from bright lights
Then he decides: 'Time to get off'
The night was dark but he looked tough.

Then he was found with lifeless eyes
Some shitty dump saw his demise
they cut him off a linen rope
A night like this never brings hope.

I knew the day would finally come
when all breaks would fail the chum
The crash was loud, heard it from here
His cheeky grin just disappeared.
I knew the day would finally come
when all breaks would fail the chum
The crash was loud, heard it from here
His cheeky grin just disappeared.

A guy I knew half of my life
Adrenaline his only wife
He liked to live in the fast lane
Bald tires on to make each turn, yeah!!

I knew the day would finally come
when all breaks would fail the chum
The crash was loud, heard it from here
His cheeky grin just disappeared.
I knew the day would finally come
when all breaks would fail the chum

8. Riot In Eden

A riot in Eden
Dark spirits are feeden'
On evil that's breedin'
Did ya think it would come to this?
The meadows of Heaven
Idyllic like Devon
But peace is now deadened
And wine's being turned into piss.

Heavenly police press
Use force to clean this mess
Rebelion to suppress
Good clubbing redeeming the saints

There's devilish flyers
And funeral pyres
I see burnin' tires
Right under the Paradise Tree
Devour the serpent
How long can you just lent?
Is what Adam and Eve meant
The righteous just long to be free.

Heavenly police press
Use force to clean this mess
Rebellion to suppress
Good clubbing redeeming the saints.

This gale so unholy
Destroys Eden wholly
And slowly but surely
The terror turns Heaven to Hell.

Heavenly police press
Use force to clean this mess
Rebellion to suppress
Good clubbing redeeming the saints.

Heavenly police press
Use force to clean this mess
Rebellion to suppress
Good clubbing redeeming the saints.

9. The Noose

So you don't know what to do
And this nightmare gets to you
Like a steam engine it will roll
Press and push against the wall

Just get ready for the noose
It will never let you loose
The receiver barks at you
Blondie will not see you through

And this wall is dark and rough
Pissed on, smelly – all that stuff
But its thickness is a shield
And some coldness it will yield

And the healer's on the blink
The whole town is on the brink
Sundays smelling of the dead
Jimmy making his death bed, yeah...

Hear the voices of the hord:
'Reconcile with our lord!'
But he's gonna let you down
having fun out on the town

Jimmy, please! Listen to me!
Don't you know it's plain to see?
Death is calling you right now
Answer her and don't ask how

And the healer's on the blink
The whole town is on the brink
Sundays smelling of the dead
Jimmy making his death bed, yeah...

And the healer's on the blink
The whole town is on the brink
Sundays smelling of the dead
Jimmy making his death bed, yeah...

10. Madman's Joint

It's hard to wake up in dirty hole,
I sleep with dogs, I'm hunting with ghosts,
It doesn't matter what you are thinking of me,
I really don't care,
You're not my friends anymore,

I smell another victim at dawn,
I know I have to live this hell on my own,
I'm sensing a conspiracy close,
But I'm not sure if it's fake or real, so...

Another head is burning
Another heart is boiling
I leave my bed like a walking dead
I'm going mad, oh yeah!

My god has good fun watching this game,
And I'm a player, I judge myself again,
But never hope nobody can win,
Cause lifeless beings never conquer, no...

Another head is burning
Another heart is boiling
I leave my bed like a walking dead
I'm going mad, oh yeah!

Another head is burning
Another heart is boiling
I leave my bed like a walking dead
I'm going mad, oh yeah!

11. Enjoy Your Death

He turned on the carousel
Spinning fast! Slow down? No way!
'Rollercoaster' – he would say
'It is merely a child's play'

He was always driving fast
Quite often also wasted
He would pinch death in the ass
Kamikaze's life he tasted

Ride with Death in the fast lane
Walk upon the razor's edge, o yeah!
When the heart roars like a train
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!
Ride with Death in the fast lane
Walk upon the razor's edge, o yeah!
When the heart roars like a train
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!

He enjoyed his games with death
On her hand his fist would clench
He would face her, feel her breath
That medieval ghastly stench
Ride with Death in the fast lane
Walk upon the razor's edge, o yeah!
When the heart roars like a train
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!
Ride with Death in the fast lane
Walk upon the razor's edge, o yeah!
When the heart roars like a train
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!

In the crypt his head would dive
That just made his body shiver
But he wouldn't give his life
He was never, ever a big giver

Ride with Death in the fast lane
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!
Ride with Death in the fast lane
Then the mind is on the legde
Enjoy your death!

There's a law that we have found
When the lungs are pumping fear
And blood's dripping on the ground
Vultures are bound to appear

Ride with Death in the fast lane
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!
Ride with Death in the fast lane
Then the mind is on the ledge
Enjoy your death!
Enjoy your death!
Enjoy your death!
Enjoy your death...

12. My Soul's Among The Lions

Allright...
Where were you yesterday night?
At the club, my eyes were spying
Your footprints are on the site
I can't see your body lying

What is that got you scared?
Locked inside your silent hell
Cruel deeds never to be shared
Do they make you wanna yell?

What happend here last night?
You were out, I heard your cry
Did it get too rough to fight?
Did it once again! But why?

She said:
I'm burning – my soul's among the lions
She said:
I'm dying under their power
She asked:
Can you get me out of here?
I said:
No way, you're lost my dear
You are lost...

She said:
I'm burning – my soul's among the lions
She said:
I'm dying under their power
She asked:
Can you get me out of here?
To save the rest of me...
No way!
You're lost my dear...
