1. Food For Worms
I live my life by simple rules
Try to separate all the dirt from gold
Learned to tell whose friend or foe, when to rise above you know
Times change so I've realized
There's scum out there of a different kind
You've got to know how to sort them out, gonna teach you how
First: they're worms, like ghosts they walk the earth
Don't ever show sympathy for they won't show it to you
Remember: they feast, they thrive on prejudice and lies
Never on their own, never all alone
So take this advice
Keep your enemies close – fire in the hole
And out came the wolves
Fire! (Burn in every lair!)
Let fire (fill the air!)
Keep your enemies close – always keep them close
And out came the wolves
Fire! (Torching every creep)
Why fire? ('Cause fire's fucking cheap!)
In new shapes – subtle forms
Still the same shit 'bout pride and war
The black caps back in '45 now replaced by suits and ties
Ignorance is bliss they say
And history tends to repeat its way
You got to know how to lure them out, I'll show you how
First: they're worms, like ghosts they walk the earth
Don't ever show sympathy for they won't show it to you
Remember: they feast, they thrive on prejudice and lies
Never on their own, never all alone
So take this advice
Keep your enemies close – fire in the hole
And out came the wolves
Fire! (Burn in every lair!)
Let fire (fill the air!)
Keep your enemies close – always keep them close
And out came the wolves
Fire! (Torching every creep)
Why fire? ('Cause fire's fucking cheap!)
2. Chaos Royale
Hear me out
Most of my time I've spent thinking about
Like who I am what I'm supposed to be
I've tried it all: school and dead end jobs
But now I know that there's a higher purpose for me
I will rule this whole universe
Assemble my own terror regime
I'll ban all laws and commercial T.V.
Start to sound pretty cool now you better well goddamn agree
Kill the king
Long live my tyranny
I'll give you anarchy, for all I give you anarchy
So kill the king and let the revolution sing
All shall obey or die and hail my chaos royale
Gonna build a giant killing machine
No one will dare to stand up or oppose
Enslave the earth with an iron fist
Now the whole world is my personal bitch
I'll put an end to all music that sucks
According to my flawless taste
No hipster shit, radio rock, bubblegum DJ pop
Heavy metal all of the way, make no fucking mistake
Thou shalt have no other 'fore me
Or you won't live to regret!
There's a choice of complete submission or certain death!
Kill the king and long live my tyranny
I'll give you anarchy, for all I give you anarchy
Kill the king and let the revolution sing
All shall obey or die
Have no fear cause I will end democracy
I know what you need so no one dare to question me
Kill the king and let the new era begin
All shall submit or die and hail to the chaos royale
And thou shall have no other 'fore me
'Cause all the others are dead!
There's a choice of complete submission
Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth – ye shall serve me till death
Kill the king
Long live my tyranny
I'll give you anarchy, for all I give you anarchy
Kill the king and let the revolution sing
All shall obey or die
Have no fear 'cause I will end democracy
I know what you need so no one dare to question me
Kill the king and let the new era begin
All shall submit or die
Hail chaos royale!
3. Au Revoir
Welcome in to my world of darkness
Come on down watch the angels cry
Here I dwell in all grief and sadness
Hell is where my heart resides
Deep water rising, tidal waves unleashed
The roaring thunders here to chase away the summer breeze
There's no tomorrow, no innocence no more
Sign off with a syringe kiss – Au revoir
Chemicals they speak inside my head
The day that I met you, you brought me death
No regret – sticks and stones
So long – I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Welcome in to my world of darkness
Come on down watch the angels cry
Here I dwell in all grief and sadness
Hell is where my heart resides
Where my heart resides
Down on the highway, wrong side of the road
The good lord took his only child and Hell knows he'll be joining soon
"There's no tomorrow" he screamed inside the car
Took his foot from the brakes
Au revoir – Un deux tuez moi
The imagery is stuck inside my head
The day you left me here you left me dead
Brace for impact – here I go
Hey son – I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Welcome in to my world of darkness
Come on down watch the angels cry
Here I dwell in all grief and sadness
Hell is where my heart resides
Where my heart resides
And I can see it in your eyes
What once was there has come to die
This is it – say no more
Walk with me – I'll take you home
I'll take you home
Welcome in to my world of darkness
Come on down and watch the angels cry
Here there's room for all grief and sadness
Hell is where my heart resides
Au revoir
4. Desert Queen
In the witching hour
Comes a rider in black – cold through and through
Enslaves by desire
Just like a drug, she's consuming you slow
You can't love like you used to before
And you can't find trust in nothing else anymore
Those pale lips, the bourbon-soaked kiss
She's the den of your sins – the slit of a wrist
"I was forged by fire – a daughter of the canyon lands"
"Hell's spawn of liars – raised by the dead in the sun-scorched desert sand"
Heed the killer of hearts
Face the angel in black where the desert starts
Hear her ravenous tune
A call to the wild in the white light of the moon
Spawned out of the dark
Under blood-red skies below falling stars
Fall onto your knees
Surrender your soul to the crimson desert queen
Time stops – turns to reverse
A thousand years passed, haven't you heard?
When a red moon rises over barren terrains
The black-backed jackal howls; calling her name
"For I am the sinister savior – commander in his Lucifer's reign"
"The new world creator – here to see to, blood will fall like rain"
Heed the killer of hearts
Face the angel in black where the desert starts
Hear her ravenous tune
A call to the wild in the white light of the moon
Spawned out of the dark
Under blood-red skies below falling stars
Fall onto to your knees
Surrender your soul to the crimson desert queen
In the dead of the night
Under blood-red skies
Fall to your knees
Before the crimson desert queen
Heed the killer of hearts
5. Count Me Out
I don't want your number
I don't want your love
I don't feel what you feel
I don't need politics
Promises don't equal shit
I don't share your beliefs
And you
Don't speak to me about religion and faith
Your God ain't mine, I never asked to be saved
It's nothing personal, I hate it all; the fake concerns and vanity
Your superficial cause
Stay the fuck away from me
Out of sight and mind
It's all I ever asked of thee
Now we're way beyond a shadow of a doubt
So just count me out
I don't get your passion
Flash cash and shallow fashion
Can't relate to them needs
I don't expect support
Of any kind or any sort
I can fend for myself in this hell
For I
How could I rely on authority?
Whatever you do you've done nothing for me
It ain't personal, I hate you all
When everything's said and done, it's all I got
You better stay the fuck away from me
Out of sight and mind
It's all I ever asked of thee
Now we're way beyond a shadow of a doubt
So just count me out
6. Stones Throw
Deliver me your darkest hour
And let me tell you this; laughter don't deform this face no more
Nothing left here worth to savor
You know it'd come to this, the time to leave you with
Scars from the past dear mother
Hope it hurts you to know I came out stronger
No headstone or cross, no prayers no god
A shallow grave is all there be to your memory
Make no mistake; I'll be better off this way
You never brought this bastard down
My will be done
Say again but don't come closer
Silence when you speak to me!
Seasons pass and I've grown colder
Tables turn and cards play out, ain't it ironic how
How life came about dear mother
In the end it's just you, it's you who'll suffer
No headstone or cross, no prayers no god
A shallow grave is all there be to your memory
Make no mistake; I'll be better off this way
You never brought this bastard down
My will be done
No pity or shame, forgiveness nor blame
Just history fading away
Spare me the lies, all the tears and your trials
Stones lay as thrown just like you would know
No headstone or cross, no prayers no god
A shallow grave is all there be to your memory
Make no mistake; I'll be better off this way
You never brought this bastard down
No pity and scars in my body and heart
No monument or sympathy to your memory
Make no mistake; I'm well off and on my way
You never brought this bastard down
My will be done
7. The Jinx
Can you walk through fire and don't get burned?
Can you do hard time and don't get turned?
Could the sun out there wash your blues away?
Can you wear those chains for one more day?
Can you live in this world and keep the jinx away?
Hate in your bones, blood on your hands
Now you used to be such a righteous man
It's like the more that you try the faster you sink
And it's hard to smile when you never win, when you never win
Shakin' the jinx
If I'd say sorry would it make amends?
Or would it come right back to my face again?
You said that I failed to plan but did I plan to fail?
Doesn't really matter anyways
Because I'm cursed that way, cursed I'd say
Such a long way down
And I know that it will always be there to make sure that I'll fall to the ground
Shakin' the jinx
Can you walk through fire and don't get burned?
Can you do hard time and don't get turned?
Could you wear these chains for just one day?
If I say I'm sorry would it make amends?
Would you throw it back in my face again?
Never failed to plan but did I plan to fail
It wouldn't even matter anyways
'cause I'm cursed this way
Such a long way down
And I know you will always be there to make sure that I'll fall to the ground
Still shakin' the jinx
8. Ruled By None
Hear it echo in the streets
Roaring from the underground
An unrelenting violent sound
Thirteen demons on a leash
Monitor the movement growth
Underneath and up above
Can you see it now?
Can you feel it now?
Scratching through your skull and bones, unto the heart and soul
We're everywhere and all around, in the air can't hold it down
Whispers in the wind and screaming out from deep within
Forever and always at your side
Never to betray, deceit or lie
From this day forward are you with me now?
Rise to reclaim, Brothers
This is a call to arms
Stand!
Align by my side, Sisters
Wherever you are for whatever may come
Ruled by none
Outlaws 'n' sons, daughters alike
All the restless souls, rebel minds
Misfit kids and wretched ones
We're everywhere, high and low to never change our hearts for show
Fuelled by rage, defiance flowing through our veins
Forever and always at your side
Never to betray, deceit or lie
From this day forward are you with me now?
Rise to reclaim, Brothers
This is a call to arms
Stand!
Align by my side, Sisters
Wherever you are for whatever may come
Ruled by none
9. Sail North
Turn it up, gimme volume or blood
Make that bass sound pound through the walls
This is what we do where there's nothing to do
In the country of rain and snow
Crank it up gimme volume and blood, c'mon baby shake that ass
Hit it all again 'cause we never grow old
This is what we do up in the cold
This is what we do where we come from
How we do it where we call home
Take a ride on the hellway to high
Where the moon shines bright and tears don't dry
Pay a visit to where silence is gold
Here no one ever speaks unless spoken to
Sail north – Scandinavian bound
Sail north – to where only weekends count
Rev it up hun, give it some gas
And push the pedal right down through the floor
This is what we do when the weekend get slow
This is how we roll
Rev it up, give it gas – gotta make that engine roar
Hit it again 'cause it never gets old
This is how we roll up in the north
This is what we do it where we come from
How we do it where we call home
Take a ride on the hellway to high
Where the moon shines bright and tears don't dry
Pay a visit to where silence is gold
Here no one ever speaks unless spoken to
Sail north – Scandinavian bound
Sail north – to where only weekends count
