Original Sin

black horns, a broken halo
we’re born sinners, so why not sin?
atomic bomb with the end all payload
where do we go when this all ends?
the troops come and your house is next
your knees shake and your palms they sweat
ignite the sky and destroy the heavens
see the sight you’ll soon forget
cursed since time began
eve bit the fruit now here we stand
movin’ towards our bitter end
the original sin, original sin
calling out as you curse the sky
is there a god can he hear us cry?
will he come to shed some light?
will he come to save our lives?
cursed since time began
eve bit the fruit now here we stand
movin’ towards our bitter end
the original sin, original sin

The Drifter

well i’ve been roamin’ around
another sleepless night, another lonely town
seen so many lives come undone
it hurts so much, can’t stand what i’ve become
in the shadows they prey
on the weak led astray
they fall right in to their spell
there is no escape from this living hell
give me an out, i’m tryin’ to escape
a very thin line, crossed & sealed my fate
i’m movin’ on, i’m wearing thin
only god knows where i’ve been
feels as if i’m going to break
feel the weight of all my choices & mistakes
feels as if my head is spun
is this the end? ready for what’s to come
i’ve seen better days, slowly wasting away
soon only time will tell
standing at the edge with no soul to sell
give me an out, i’m tryin’ to escape
a very thin line, crossed & sealed my fate
i’m movin’ on, i’m wearing thin
only god knows where i’ve been

you see it on tv and in your dreams
everything you want, but nothing you need
to live your life or to get by
without any of it it makes you want to cry
you want it, you need it
like a child you’re kickin’ and screamin’
the life’s a must, you’re out of touch
you could have the world, but it wont be enough
i want more fun and better sex and more cash to spend, yeah
i want a mansion
i want more clothes and faster cars and famous friends, yeah
a long vacation
i’ve got my name in lights, smoking on private flights
red carpet events, where the flashes are so bright
dressed to the nines, yeah it’s my time to shine
bright like the sun, ready to blow tonight
a penthouse with models
downtown at the club poppin’ bottles
fortune and fame, crystal champagne
i’ve got it all, i hope it’s here to stay
oh i, i’m just gonna drop a mil tonight
tonight, tonight, yeah
i want more fun and better sex and more cash to spend, yeah
i want a mansion
i want more clothes and faster cars and famous friends, yeah
a long vacation

Left To Die

i woke up today to the sound of birds and the sun on my face
and it could be the last, i need to move, i need to act now
it’s sinkin’ in, i feel so afraid, i feel as if we’re near the end
we don’t get out alive
scared and alone, calling out but no one can hear it
no noise but the sound of the clock as it’s tickin'
when the light can’t be found and your heart stops beatin’
will you be proud of the life you’re leavin’?
clear your mind, set it free, while you can, try to make peace
with the ones that you love, yourself and with the stars up above
all alone in the moonlit sky, do you feel the breeze?
i want the world for just you and i
we don’t get out alive
scared and alone, calling out but no one can hear it
no noise but the sound of the clock as it’s tickin'
when the light can’t be found and your heart stops beatin’
will you be proud of the life you’re leavin’?

come out tonight, freak out tonight
let your hair down, do your makeup just right
forget the problems, forget all the fights
come on and take my hand, i won’t let you cry tonight
i don’t wanna go right now, stop the car turn back now
i don’t wanna go right now, stop the car turn back now
my head spins ‘round and ‘round, and i’m gonna black out now
i don’t wanna go right now, i’m high and i can’t come down
there you go again ditching all your friends
another night stayed in, it’s your life you’re wasting
come on and take a chance, you’ll thank me in the end
and i’m here for you, oh when you need a friend
i don’t wanna go right now, stop the car turn back now
i don’t wanna go right now, stop the car turn back now
my head spins ‘round and ‘round, and i’m gonna black out now
i don’t wanna go right now, i’m high and i can’t come down
