Brainwashed 03:09
Radio An insidious form Helping shape thoughts Making You conform, Programming Music Easy Listening Helps you to achieve That moronic grin Playing you Regurgitated Pap Selling products That are mostly Crap Rarely hearing music You wanna hear It has an effect Over all these years Why don't you think for yourself??? Live in this self made Hell.... Television The idiot tube Helps to raise our Children as fools Watch the news They only want to see Our awareness is Limited by network VPs Moronic sit-coms One sided news Alter your feeling Give you conformist Views Why can't you get that Garbage out of your Head You're better off to Read a good book Instead... Why Can't You Think For Yourself????? Live in this self made Hell.... Newspapers What do they say?? Not much I think When they want School kids to pray Getting some facts from Some daily news You hate the system But adhere to it's views Blaming the dead 'Cause they can't Complain Shielding officials Holding them Above the blame You better wake up and see What's plain to see Or end up a willing part of the machine.....

Don't look at me as if I didn't know Your vanity is all you ever show What you believe and advocate Fanatic dogma recycled from yesterday Got a master plan Genocide Can't understand People of the lie You are to me the waste of flesh and blood I'd love to see you buried in the mud And when you die no one will she'd a tear So pass me by don't need your hatred here Got a master plan Genocide Can't understand People of the lie Prejudice, intolerance, eye for an eye [SOLO - FRANK] You cannot hide behind those empty claims Your racist pride is nothing but a game And you will lose for right is on the side Of those who choose to fight for humankind Got a master plan Genocide Can't understand People of the lie You can't believe Don't be deceived

Welcome to out sanguinary sect of worship. Feel at home in our black conventicle, As we anathematise All of those who oppose us. Don't summon the devil, Don't call the priests, If you need the strength The conjuring. Obey!!! Behold the flames rise From the compass' cardinal points. Burn the sacred oil, And, with the ashes you'll annoint. Arrange the symbols, Of the wizard, and, magician. Light the candles, Place the parchment paper in position. Between it's leaves place The lash from a black cat's eye, A straw of a broom, Fold, and, burn, and, centralise. Don't summon the devil, Don't call the priests, If you need the strength, The conjuring. I am the devil's advocate, A salesman, if you will You know my name. [You know my name] I met your father years ago, Gave him what he'd please. He called my name, you'll do the same. I'm claiming what is mine by right, It's time to close the deal. You're bought and sold, bought and sold. Come join me in my infernal depths, Mephisto's hall of fame. I've got your soul, I've got your soul. The conjuring. Obey!!!

Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe So the world we know is dying slow in south america Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground Time is running low, we can't stay no more Wealth these people see, fight for eternity Lies they televise paid by the government There on! it lingers on And they don't even care if they... Seal the planet's fate Crimes they perpetrate Wasting precious land It's time to take a stand Our only hope to breathe again To stop the madness closing in What will we do when all is lost Environmental holocaust... Our only hope to breathe again To stop the madness closing in What will we do when all is lost Environmental holocaust... Foes these people go, someone destroyed their home Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees Laws protect the land, social justice in demand Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere Now it's time to see a cycle of a tragedy On! it lingers on, and they don't even care if they... Seal the planet's fate Crimes they perpetrate Wasting precious land It's time to take a stand Our only hope to breathe again To stop the madness closing in What will we do when all is lost Environmental holocaust... Our only hope to breathe again To stop the madness closing in What will we do when all is lost Environmental holocaust...

Allison Hell 05:00
["a young girl, terrified, there's something out there. but is it real? it must be, because it's watching her. her pleas for comfort and reassurance are ignored, and soon, all she has left is her imagination... and that's the most terrifying thing of all."] Alice, isn't it frightening? Alice, aren't you scared? Alice, isn't it wonderful? Living life afraid Don't look around the corner I might be lurking there Under the bed at night You're up till dawn again Alison hell, your mind begins to fold Alison hell, aren't you growing cold? Alison hell, you are looking blue Alice in hell, what else can you do? Alice I begin my rule, life hideous in your mind Crying out, you've lost your doll It isn't worth a dime Alison hell, your mind begins to fold Alison hell, aren't you growing cold? Alison hell, what are you looking for? Alice in hell, soon I close the door Sitting in the corner, you are naked and alone No one listened to your fears, you've created me Alice, isn't it frightening? Alice, aren't you scared? I was killed at birth I shoot this final scene You're in the basement You're trapped insanity Alison hell, what were you looking for? Alison hell, as I close the door Alison hell, here you shall dwell Alison hell, Alice dwells in hell Alice Alice Alison Alice In hell Goodbye

True Colors 03:56
Opportunities arise, open your eyes don't decline. Open the door. What's right for you may not be what's right for me. Ultimatums shown us or them I don't know. Open the door. Take our hands cause you know we're your friends. You call me a friend, but stab me in the back again. From this deed now I learn. On you, my back I never turn. What was mine was always yours. But you're slammin' all the doors. True colors my are growing bright. But you're still stuck in a grey life. Jealousy, can't you see what it's done. Open the doors. I thought I knew, what kind of friend are you. Honesty flows through me - with purity. Open the doors. Once again, we were friends, we're through. Because of you and your TRUE COLORS. Let them shine.

I know, you know Something's gotta break If this shit don't come to a halt There's not much more I can take Wheels are spinning, lawyers are grinning To see what I'm gonna do Minds arranging, I'm tired of changin' Something's gotta pull me through Club owners say, "Didn't make your pay, I think we must got took" Don't fuck with me, I'm glad to see You're smarter than you look, No vacancy, no vacancy, everywhere I stop When you see me doing, 83 in a 55 I might kill a cop 'Cause I'm Climbin' the walls standin' on the edge Climbin' the walls insanity's the ledge Climbin' the walls till I can't catch my breath Climbin' the walls I'm gettin' closer to death I ain't got no money and that ain't funny Check is in the mail Agents are barkin', the fire ain't sparkin' And I'm livin' in a private hell People say you gotta pay To play in a winners game Well I am me, a lunatics friend And nothing else stays the same 'Cause I'm Climbin' the walls standin' on the edge Climbin' the walls insanity's the ledge Climbin' the walls till I can't catch my breath Climbin' the walls I'm gettin' closer to death

Warriors of Sheol ride the storm Coming to retrieve the human forms Black cloak rider, force of sin Mission to destroy white magic's kin Curse their holy souls In fire they will die Good comes to an end Steal the power from their eyes High priests pray to their one above But the winged beasts of evil kill their loved Phantoms of eternal hell watch on As darkness slays, light's now gone Lives of earthen tame Torn to shreds alive Taken by the blade Laughing at their cries Evil stalks the lives of men, they can't be saved Hapless victims falling hard to meet their grave Terror reigns, insanity lives in human fear Blackened world, malicious souls, hell is here Specters hunting freeze you with their hateful eyes Luring victims to their death, petrified Sacrifice to lord of evil, glorified For merciless onslaught, all must die City lies in flame as troops march on Pillaging and plundering from dawn till dusk till dawn Turing the earth into eternal fire Legions of death will leave you crucified

I, Being The Judge Of This Legal Court Motion For The Accused To Arise. Stand Up Boy, Here's The End Of Your Life. Now All Be In Awe Of My Upper Hand And You Watch As I Detain. I Swallow Time, Twenty Years Of Your Life, I Have Obtained. Sorry In A Cell, With The Rest Of The Dogs I Do Nothing But Wait. I'm Being Fed Shit, Tormented, Such Hate. Bashed, Beaten, Battered, Some Inmates Here Just Cannot Defend Their Lives. That For Me, The Luxury In Here Is Only To Die. [ Solo: Flynn ] Now You're In, Here To Stay Life Sentence, Convicted, And Now You Must Pay. So Watch Your Back And All That You've Got. Stealers Take, Killers Kill, But Usually In The Dark Cold And Empty Grey Matter Of Your Brain Would Spray. Unpleasant Taste It Leaves In Your Mouth. This Place Is Hell, This Place Is What We Call. World In A World And You Fear This Fucking! World In A World Guilty You'll Rot. [ Solo: Demmel ] Warden Hates Because He's Playing The Part He Makes His Point By Turning Guns On The Unarmed. Or Solitary Confinement They'll Keep You You Resist And A Battered Mess, And Oh I Regret When You're In Here Slop Is All You'll Be Fed. And When You're Tired And Needing Some Sleep The Cement Floor Is All They Feel You Need. World In A World And You Will Fear This Fucking. World In A World Guilty You'll Rot. World In A World Held Out Of All Sight. World In A World. To Be Here Is To Die!
