Burn My Eyes


Davidian
Blind man ask me forgiveness
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my wealth
I feed off pain, force fed to love it
And now I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast

Burn my fist to the concrete
My fear is my strength
Power, rage unbound because
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet connects at last
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast

Scarred
Pour the salt in the wound
Unscarred


Old
I am the man that defends all things profane
6000 years is the time that I shall reign
And with a grin drank the blood of holy swine
Impurity made the blood turn into wine

[Chorus:]
Old man, dead hand
If only their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept

I am the pain that feeds off your weakness
A sickening born of hate, not of the blessed
And with the time I will crush all things you prey
Destroying all from the known to the arcane

[Chorus]

Burn my eyes and try to blind me
Bury me so they won't find me
Try to suck my power empty
Got no crown of thorns on me

So burn my eyes and try to blind me
Bury me so they won't find
Try to suck my power dry
You got no crown of thorns on me

[Chorus]


A Thousand Lies
What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that is a person that I know to well
Don't want to know, but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some sh*t, I'll f**kin' pound you, son
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside

[Pre-chorus:]
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long

[Chorus:]
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive

What is a man that stays true to the game
But can't believe some of the things he sees
Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

What is a man don't stay true to the game
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our souls burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherf**kin' cold blood boil

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]


None But My Own
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with these two fists
You have asked forgiveness
You have asked respect
Only something that you did forget

All you gave you had planned to take
Beat upon me but I won't break
Stripping everything from me? No!

Will to me your anger, will to me your rage
Will to me your lies, your sufferings
Not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands

Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own

Burn
Burn

I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with these two fists
Not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from your hands

Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own

Burn
Burn

My heart bleeds for none but my own...


The Rage To Overcome
This world does not want me
This world does not care
And I am a product of this world
Confused, I'd say that's fair
This pain will never leave me
It's scared upon my brain
Destroying everything that brought this
Just to keep me, just to keep me sane

A hatred burns inside me
Emotion out of hand
But I've the will to focus this
Survive, contrive, command
From pain come a courage
The strength from injustice
The rage to overcome it all
An open mind
With a closed fist


Death Church
Well I look at justice in a different light
I been to jail, it didn't make me right
Try and conform, but won't be deaf, blind, dumb
Been beaten down, just harder I've become

[Chorus:]
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising

Hey Jesus can't you help me with my pain
Mainline me some religion, keep me sane
Christ suffering upon my TV screen
Send in your money to the faith obscene

[Chorus]

Strength, truth and honor, words I strive to live
Your faith's profane, it takes, never gives
'Cause I'm gonna die standing upon my feet
You're gonna die groveling on your knees

[Chorus]


A Nation On Fire
Well I see, I feel
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure

It hardens me, the things I see
But I won't break, it gives me strength

[Chorus:]
Our suffering, won't always be
We'll dominate, this nation on fire

The media it
Blinds our eyes
A people divided
And force feds lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes

So take my hand across this land
I won't go down, stand my ground

[Chorus]

This nation's built on fighting war after war
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
'Cause I won't break, Your truth is fake
If blood ran red, You's leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire

You tell me peace, Well I hear gunshots all night
The scars I have, I've earned 'cause I've had to fight
An endless pain, and it won't change
We just sat by, and watched this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire


Blood For Blood
I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth

[Chorus:]
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood

Beatings is what you'll inherit this time
Fast bait, your new name
Your pain is my shine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation

[Chorus]

I was born of tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson

[Chorus]


I'm Your God Now
So pain told you to take her
Well I learned to accept that feeling
'Cause I found how to numb it
If only for just a short while
I'd get so high, I'd forget my own name
I scarred my fist, I scarred my brain
I think that i'm going insane
I think that I'm going insane

So Drink up, so shoot in
Why must this feeling end
I crawled in my narcotic shell
Was crucified in my own hell
A gutter's where I found myself
Among the waste I chose to dwell
I chose to dwell

So now I'm in your system
And I'm what helps you numb your pain
With time you will confide in me
So lonely my friend, I've made you lose control
You'll use me more and more with time
Our friendship grows with each mainline
So glad that you could be so blind
So glad that you could be so blind

So drink up, so shoot in
'Cause I'll make this feeling end
I built you this narcotic shell
I crucifies you in your hell
Your life not yours, you're just my slave
I am your messiah of pain
And time has come to
Time has come to, time has come to
There is no time to pray

'Cause I'm your God now


Block
Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
the decimation of all that is pure pure
A system that feeds the machine with
the blood, sweat and money of the poor poor
Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists
'cause nobody cares anymore anymore

f**k it all
f**k it all

White attack black, black attack back
the f**kin' media keeps us all blind blind
Children on crack, junkies on smack
you wanna close your eyes to hide hide
Pollution so dense, sickening existence
new world order, new world decline

f**k it all
f**k it all

The more the sense of ignorance
The more intense is the pain

Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
the decimation of all that is pure pure
A system that feeds the machine with
the blood, sweat and money of the poor poor
Believe in something if it stops your suffering
'cause all we have is nothing nothing

f**k it all

Bulldozer Into the battles, making cages rattle There's a pain that's inside us and we're letting it out Charge right in, we dare to fail No one is giving in, always we live to win A hunger turns and burns inside of all of us And it will not be denied Walking a path untraveled to reach higher level Challenging always going against the grain Blood for blood - that is the rule And we will make the rules, never be fortune's fool There's right and wrong in almost everything we do For us we do what is right Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall Bulldozer crushes all Somebody told me I should do what they told me But there's a hole in that plan and I'm tearing it down Trust our guts, follow our hearts No one can break these nuts, these lips ain't kissing butts The path of most resistance tests all of our strength This strength will not be denied Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall Bulldozer crushes all Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall Bulldozer crushes all Walking on paths untraveled Challenging one and all Deeper into the battles Alone and standing tall The more evolving changes The more we stay the same Full steam against the odds Go headfirst against the grain Full steam we go against the odds Headfirst we go against the grain Bulldozer goes against the odds Bulldozer goes against the grain Against the odds, against the grain We go against the odds, against the grain This is the bulldozer This is the bulldozer White-Knuckle Blackout!

And I was that kid getting bullied by the filipinos rollin with ABT Me and my friends reading the satanic bible thinking we should start a band Cutting class to jam, cutting class to jam In my dad's garage we learned to Act a fool - don't need to be cool Pissed off too and breaking the rules Mama told me stay in school don't rock 'n roll But this is my american high I was that kid that was crank-calling your girlfriend, couldn't get a goddamn date And I was that kid that was getting hella busted for pissin' on the bart train I f**kin' hated school except for hanging out with my friends, the outcast that was startin' up a band Fremont was the town, California-bound, bay area sound, taught me to Act a fool - don't need to be cool Pissed off too and breaking the rules Mama told me stay in school don't rock 'n roll But this is my american high I'm that kid you tried to punk in english class Now I'm in a band and you're kissing my...

Nausea One more time you've gotten into my head I've let your words get into me Every time I try to talk, you never listen You got the answers, I don't know a thing But you ask me what these lights are in my eyes They're a freight train ahead And they're straight coming your way You've tied yourself down to the tracks Now you want help from me to cut you free If it was me my hour of need You'd leave me there to bleed I'm f**king sick of you and all that sh*t you're pulling Your f**kin' attitude had better go on You cheat and you lie and you stole and denied And you turned on your friends when you burned all those bridges This time you won't be getting under my skin What you had I've taken away Tell me what you're gonna do, it doesn't matter You're always talking, it don't mean a thing So ask me what these lights are in my eyes They're a freight train ahead And they're straight coming your way You've tied yourself down to the tracks Now you want help from me to cut you free If it was me my hour of need You'd leave me there to bleed I'm f**king sick of you and all that sh*t you're pulling Your f**kin' attitude had better go on You cheat and you lie and you stole and denied And you turned on your friends when you burned all those bridges Well you sat there and cried As these words came to glide through your delicate skin leaving blood on these pages So how does it feel to be at one with the fate I seal They're a freight train ahead And they're straight coming your way You've tied yourself down to the tracks Now you want help from me to cut you free If it was me my hour of need You'd leave me there to bleed I'm f**king sick of you and all that sh*t you're pulling Your f**kin' attitude had better go on You cheat and you lie and you stole and denied And you turned on your friends when you burned all those bridges. Blank Generation They say we been going down and going down Been traveling on the road to nowhere Going down, round and round Trying to get to the place where we started When I was just a boy at four years old thought the world was joy As a kid I'd play, just create the day as I saw it my way But time blows by And strips us to the bone poisoned wind of woe Teach us that we're alone in this world We learned to see all the corruption and greed All its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence A toast to our blank generation They say we been going down, been going down Been traveling on the road to nowhere Going down, round and round Trying to get to the place where we started When I was seventeen realizing the world wasn't what she seemed Underneath the night San Francisco sky I would see, too clearly But time blows by And strips us to the bone poisoned wind of woe Teach us that we're alone in this world We learned to take all the corruption and greed All its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence A toast to our blank generation So here's to our collagen lips and saline tits To our growth hormones and antibiotics To the Hollywood world we made out of Barbie doll hearts After we melted them down so we could make our new start Here's to a generation scared and always wondering why Instead of playing doctor, we play shoot each other and die Instead of ring around the Rosie, we play hide from Mommy 'Cause Mommy's been drinking again and we don't want to get beat Even with all our tattoos, and all our cheap thrills there's still a hole inside of us that may not ever get filled So we give back a little bit of what the world's given us Giving back a bit of never giving a f**k Here's to the justice never dealt, to innocent, proven guilty Here's to bad cops turning cheeks when real cops are on the street Here's to the rat-tat-n-tat of gun shots, and your life is shattered Here's to "Gimme me your cash or your brains is gettin' splattered" Here's to mad cow disease and all that yummy MSG Here's to Mickey d's serving all those mutant chick-a-dees This is a toast to celebrate the end of our innocence This is a toast to celebrate how... We've become desensitized if life is to grow some life must die We learned to take all the corruption and greed All its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence our generation We now embrace all the corruption and greed, all its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence our blank generation. Trephination I used to want to take a drill to my head Let the pain out of the hole I used to want to cut the veins in my neck Cool the blood boiling my soul When I wondered, why my daily headaches thundered Tried to buffer, pushing down the pain I suffered Mutilated, feeling so humiliated Cannot wash the dirt off underneath my skin There was a part of me left far behind When at the age of five years old I had my innocence taken from me Emptiness would fill the hole Now a second grader, thinking why I don't feel better Why I'm filthy, why the hell I feel so guilty When drawing stick men of pornographic men and women Thinking all the time there's something wrong with me Everyday for three years from dawn 'til dusk a migraine would take me and break me And it'd cripple me so much that In dreams, it'd seem, with a hole in my temple that I could probably make my headaches finally go away Trephination trephination The enemy inside of me won't let me free wants me to bleed And after three years now my headaches wear off For reasons not quite to me known The acupuncture needles sticking my skin Pushed them down as far as they'd go But now I'm older and now inside my anger smolders from depression, to fighting Taking out my vengeance Consequences, now I'd question during sex if ... Is this how it f**king feels or am I faking it ? No longer the child that you left there at the bart tracks I'm now at 17, left in an empty blackness On drugs, with thugs, and thinking "Goddamn ?" I'm ending up in a failure, in the gutter passed out Trephination trephination This enemy inside of me won't let me free wants me to bleed Now I'm older and in this man an anger smolders Now I'm thinking a hole in you is what I'm seeing Your depression, is the dent I kick in you in vengeance Consequences are the pain I'd give to you I know that I'm dreaming, but in this dream I go in go through it, and end it And though I'd never do it I'm killing you, hand on the trigger - pull it Your final thought'll be a bullet in your f**kin' head Trephination trephination This enemy inside of me I'm now killing to make me free. Deafening Silence She looked right into my eyes and said to me The hurt that you try to hide is killing me You drink a thousand lies, to freeze the past in time I've tried to fill this silence up But now it's back again See the pain in my eyes see the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laughter I smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life She says that I'm insecure, I guess she's right 'Cause just when I think I'm sure, alone at night the agonies come back, this pain won't let me be I try to fill the silence up but now it's back again See the pain in my eyes see the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laughter I smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life Don't need your sympathy I just want for this silence to stop killing me It's deafening it's deafening this silence inside me I try to fill the silence up but now it's back again It's empty like a suicide this pain inside See the pain in my eyes see the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laughter I smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life Don't need your sympathy I just want for this silence to stop killing me.

You'll get it Determined, ferocious Grit down and bite the bullet Dare to unbind Smash and redefine The hate you feel is nothing more Than love you feel to win this war The battle that rages inside you With bloodlust You must unchain your shackles You want more? You'll get it Determined, ferocious Grit down and bite the bullet Dare to unbind Smash and redefine Lion heart Never give in Unsatisfy every weakness You want more? You'll get it Determined, ferocious Grit down and bite the bullet Dare to unbind Smash and redefine Left Unfinished Why was I born? Sometimes I wish I didn't know Been times when I wish that I had just never been Why did you have me? Or better yet why'd you leave? So to the people that could f**k But then abandoned me I'll give to this world what you couldn't give Love the unwanted, every child born discarded Add to the flock The rejects you dumped on I'll never forget Life you disdain So to the parents that bore me this pain With all those things you left unfinished You never could love me I'm glad that you never did My parents that raised me Had plenty of that to give And for that I'll love them forever with all my heart But to you Don't let there be no mistake about it f**k you, you cocksucker f**k you, you whore I'll live my life the opposite of what you are Love will be my rock The rock that I stand on I'll never forget Life you disdain So to the parents that bore me this pain With all those things you left unfinished [Solo: Flynn] Don't try to reach out to me Don't try to call The boy that you created Is dead for all you f**king know You just pretend you've never heard or seen The name Lawrence Mathew Cardine Elegy Elegies are to be sung Winds of armageddon come Ignorance within your bliss Soon you will atone for this In your carcinogenic haze Baneful of a newer age Flower of a different scent Poisons of the earths lament A requiem Earth belong not to you Belong all we to her Take another deeper breath Inhale invisible death Pollution fills the land and sky Forever you justify Take a deeper look and see Nothing's left to future seeds Icicles melt into blood Ashes where there once was wood A requiem Earth belong not to you Belong all we to her Pain of life has pulled you under Left you there to bleed and wonder Open heart left torn asunder Wrong the wrongs that you've been suffered Kill we scream in roaring thunder Destroy all, leave all things plundered Acid rain cries her pain Full bloom, a world gone insane Her anger the flower Plays God with all of our lives A requiem Earth belong not to you Belong all we to her In The Presence Of My Enemies I never ask myself why injustice befell me Accepted of the fact, try and live a life of peace I'm not a violent man, but to those who'd threaten me My enemy, for my family I'll show thee Death I will fight you to Wrath provoked you cannot bear Our lives are not your toys Mercy, not a drop to spare You of destruction Of hope's deconstruction Kills Innocence is lost when The blood of innocents Spills I'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat But for every human that takes away a child's innocence Whether it by molest, or by all wars pointlessness Killer of life Corruptor of all that is pure I want your nose to break Shattered under clenched fist Smash face to concrete Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss You of destruction Of hope's deconstruction Kills Innocence is lost when The blood of innocents Spills [Solo: Demmel] To those that are to blame Destroyers of every dream Breaking of hatred's wings Mars' phoenix begins fading To those that monger war Claiming that this is to even scores This mantra I invoke No longer this fear will I choke There's no peace for the one who can't know peace Your every breath it only lives to take Someday the earth you will descend Not a regret I'll harbor in Tearless my eyes Flowerless my hands And that day when your moment is fleeting That thought keeps my heart beating When they lower your casket down Bitter the sweet within my mouth Ender of life Corruptor of all that's pure On Your Grave I Will Stand Days Turn Blue To Gray Thou have fathered Son and daughter Doth begat, yet raised not bother Paralyzed your children's lives Wither vines of family ties Self-destruction Make him function Crayons and clay Days turn blue to gray Days turn blue to gray Seventeen when Family begin Drinking, fighting, heroin Unquenchable addictions call Responsible to none above all Self-destruction Make him function Crayons and clay Days turn blue to gray Days turn blue to gray Lest I taste Its sweet grapes Glass to tongue Across it tips Cross my lips Swallow it down Please Won't you love me? Please help me see What did I do? Did I hurt you? And now that you're gone Emptiness lives on The guilt is all I feel No closure Father Motherf**ker No closure The strings of my heart You pulled on endlessly This twine is severed In tragedy Father Mother Destroyer Destroy her [Solo: Demmel] Your self-destruction What made you feel alive Your self-destruction Of your children's Lives Vim Words of the righteous We will not bend The odds keep stacking up against Strengthen our self endurance Break down the cycle Of errors past We have to face up to the truth Relinquish every grudge or bruise Every ounce of strength grasps One solid dream Violent soul Will be whole We have to face up to it For every second we're alive Let our light shine To our grave, we must pave A path for us to rise from Power surge, kills the urge Life and death collide Smash all the boundaries That hold us down Hold on to everything that loves Let go of anything that starves People with envy will hold us down Freedom is just a cut away Nothing can pass our life away Every ounce of strength grasps One solid dream Violent soul Will be whole We have to face up to it For every second we're alive Let our light shine bright To our grave, we must pave A path for us to rise from Power surge, kills the urge Life and death collide We take life's ebb and flow Testament to the things we know With the fight, we must roll Strength will follow Tooth and nail for the ground that we hold Failures from the start but we still grow Heads held high, rally for throne Holding our own Not just words we'll show you so [Solo: Demmel, Flynn] I can't remember These doubts I must dismember And trust in whole Follow your own lightness Follow your sound Believe in me 'Cause I believe in you All Fall Down Anticipating, salivating, intoxicating How I've been waiting To gently soak in Your dream that's broken Caress my hands Around your throat When I choke the last gasp of air out of you I'll mesmerize you, hypnotize you Paralyze you, my snake eyes blind you My tenderest tickle, my gentlest prickle The back of your neck I stab icicles My sweetest grin will pull you in Behind that grin a razor teeth smile Under your bed Inside your head I am the monster in wait Walk, run I'm the fear you've become Pray, hope Before it's your Downfall, and all falls down I patronize you, victimize you My false pretenses endear me to you I'm psychopathic, psychosomatic Believe everything you've heard about me Ate you alive since you were a child That's when the monster first appeared to you So know my name What is my name? My name is fear and I'm you Walk, run I'm the fear you've become Pray, hope Before it's your Downfall, and all falls down With faith I crawl In sadness, I fear what I've become 'Cause after all I'm acting, pretend my smile on Before the fall The pain washes over Hold on, hold on Survive Survive This Walk, run Free the fear you've become Fight back Before it's your Downfall, and all falls down Wipe The Tears Ask me how it feels To feel like you're a failure When everything that's real Burns the flame in anger I've heard it all before I've felt some pain and more More than you could ever dream More than it probably seems I've sat with head in hand Stressed by my demands Stomach tied in knots Alone I've sat and rot 'Cause the pain from all these fears Has built up all these years I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Don't give in Don't give up Walk the streets dejected Alone and left rejected Time does not care And sometimes life ain't fair Smashing bottles on the ground My head begins to pound I have lived amongst the garbage With those who rape and carnage Had many a promise broken And broken some myself The promise I have kept alive Is keep my inner wealth With my heart aimed at the world Destiny I watch unfurl I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Don't give in Don't give up Oppurtunities Wasting life away Choked upon its dust Puked out in disgust Let me tell you how it feels To feel like you're a failure Been climbing out this gutter For what seems like it's forever But one thing I must make clear The struggle of these years Has made every scar the stronger My lust for life the longer I will fight for what I love And I will fight for those I care I will fight at anytime And I will fight anywhere With my heart aimed at this world Destiny I watch unfurl I'll wipe away the tears Wipe away the tears Don't give in Don't give up Descend The Shades Of Night Sitting in the empty black The last slivers of dusk have passed Accept the dawn to ease the fear One day I will not be here Death she comes and with her thread Upon me ties a mask for dead Its tears of blood begin to seep And bleed the sky Descend the shades of night Death shines her golden light Across a blackened sky All our hate is a product of a world... We created Ashen clouds obscure my brain Doubts begin to turn to shame Insecureness tears at bliss I hate me for this weakness Faith drives me to carry on And take the road less travelled on Resentment swallowed means to drown The poison down The shades of night descend Descend the shades of night Death shines her golden light Across a blackened sky All our hate is a product of a world... We created [Solo: Demmel, Flynn, Demmel] Scream with me Bleed with me Seethe with me Sing with me Free me Free me Free me Descend the shades of night Death shines her golden light Across a blackened sky The shades of night descend
