Playing With Fire 05:14
lyrics
Hey hey man I know your plan You want me as your right hand Hey hey man I know your game But I ain’t so easy to tame Let you in, the ice is thin, you won’t win Hey hey man I see your work Broadcasted on the TV networks Hey hey man try all you want I’m here then I’m gone Let you in, the ice is thin, you won’t win Playing with fire, gets me wired, you don’t tire I don’t know why I just can’t help myself To flirt with the devil is not good for my health She’s my reason, my grounding view I only deny this for the sake of you Haunt me, taunt me, lead me, bleed me Let you in, the ice is thin, you won’t win Playing with fire, gets me wired, you don’t tire

Sin City 05:18
lyrics
Touching down on the black tarmac Not knowing what to expect First thing seen are the one armed bandits Just begging for your bet A mesh of wonders worlds apart Some just out of this world All designed to blow your mind Misleading boys and girls A short ride and your deep inside Home of life’s temptations Money really can buy all Senses flooded with sensation A mesh of wonders worlds apart Some just out of this world All designed to blow your mind Misleading boys and girls It’s sin, sin city Bottomless holes where the dice roll All hungry for your cash The Pleasure Pit, that’s my shit But you better tip or be out on your ass It’s the place, the place to be Just as long, as long as you leave A mesh of wonders worlds apart Some just out of this world All designed to blow your mind Misleading boys and girls Exotic cars, all the stars, immigrants with their escort cards Bet high, bet low, red or black which are you gonna go Get a chopper just to see the canyon It’s the place to be, just as, long as you leave, it’s the place for me It’s girls, booze, tattoos, win or lose It’s the place to be, just as long as you leave, it’s the place for me Make sure that you see a cage fight

Suppressing the Grail 05:37
lyrics
5000 years of use not abuse A friend to man biochemically fused This quirk of nature a spiritual saviour The healing of body, mind and soul History of remedy, joined symbiotically Nature’s gift to us, its use is a must Suppressing the grail Allowing greed to prevail the system has failed Enter allopathic medicine Treat symptoms with poisons for profit margin This plant black listed, the truth has been twisted For money, power and all out control Feeding us lies, averting their eyes Premeditated genocide, how long can they hide Suppressing the grail Allowing greed to prevail the system has failed In present days a cancerous plague Culls the masses while the money is made While we are left to suffer and endure They turn their backs and they run from the cure Hypocrisy, bureaucracy, conspiracy to make us believe In the fallacy of democracy, they’ve demonised, criminalised Bloodshot eyes on the prize, this message must metastasise Your wed of lies can’t be disguised, now it’s time to legalise Suppressing the grail Allowing greed to prevail the system has failed Suppression of the grail

Barefoot & Wasted 05:00
lyrics
Starting early like a thousand times Only purpose is to lose my mind Poisons vary to achieve this goal Don’t know why it seems to sooth my soul Where am I, dark skies Lost in the street, ground surging beneath my feet Driven by a force Looking for the source Barefoot & wasted Abort the comfort of familiar space Disorientation, my mind starts to race Suburban jungle to wreak havoc through Brain overload, psychosis ensues Where am I, dark skies Lost in the street, ground surging beneath my feet Driven by a force Looking for the source Barefoot & wasted Insanity is a part of me Return from absence like the prodigal drunk Enlightened like a humble monk What unfolded in time passed Head hazy possibilities vast Barefoot & wasted

Lethargy 05:15
lyrics
Apparent from childhood Thought denial would make it go away Adolescence arrived and my destructive side Reared its ugly head and thrived Tell me where’s the direction Nothing but indecision Drained, sedate, like a blatant apathy Can’t seem to motivate when bound by lethargy Drawn to the darker side Thou shalt not abide, you could say I had some hide Until a fork in the road that left me on the road Nearly ended pointless life Still lost in the maze Confusion stays Drained, sedate, like a blatant apathy Can’t seem to motivate when bound by lethargy Disdain, malaise, through the fog you cannot see Self-medicate when bound by lethargy Powerlessness manifests When you’re lower than low but you don’t let it show With the aid of a crutch you can pick yourself up Drained, sedate, like a blatant apathy Can’t seem to motivate when bound by lethargy Disdain, malaise, through the fog you cannot see Self-medicate when bound by lethargy

Falling from the Reach 05:55
lyrics
This ain’t gonna last for ever Hell bent on going hell for leather Time travels at a steady pace The foreseeable end to this manic race Only seen through beholder’s eyes Darkness blinding shed a little light On the cusp of desired prize Proximity deceives the mind Falling from the reach of unsuspected saviours Bordering the breach of acceptable behaviour Constantly brought to wits end Hard to see if your foe or friend Escape to a sanctuary Willing pawn of the powers that be Waiting for destiny’s shift Patience waning feeling set adrift Sobering moments of clarity Followed by delusional parody Falling from the reach of unsuspected saviours Bordering the breach of acceptable behaviour My life, my time, no crime Hanging by a fateful thread fatigue is setting in The agony of reality relieved by indulged sin There’s a line not to be crossed if it is all shall be lost Falling from the reach of unsuspected saviours Bordering the breach of acceptable behaviour

Hard Toils (No Spoils) 03:16
lyrics
Wake up, a little off, auto-pilot takes the wheel Near miss, clenched fist, bluff your way to seal the deal Going through the motions, nothing but an empty shell Uneasiness, no interest, trapped in a stagnating hell Hard toils, no spoils, unimpressed by all attempts Superior intellect, moral fairness you’re exempt All thumbs, you tool, fall from a modest perch Impact damage, not the job but feel the hurt Sitting there and your pockets are deep False facade but you’re a creep Looking out for number one Screw us over by the tonne Gorge yourself a little longer We are coming and are much stronger Waste your time seeking our mistakes Unwilling to give just take, take, take Stand over tactics, putting down to climb on up Underestimate, assume we’ll bend and take the cuts Know all, not quite, can’t comprehend your own rules Back down, cave in, we may be fools but you’re the tools Sitting there and your pockets are deep False facade but you’re a creep Looking out for number one Screw us over by the tonne Gorge yourself a little longer We are coming and are much stronger Waste your time seeking our mistakes Unwilling to give just take, take, take Proven wrong egg on your face Playing dumb to try to save grace Hoping that you’ll realise you are no better, your scum in our eyes Sitting there and your pockets are deep False facade but you’re a creep Looking out for number one Screw us over by the tonne Gorge yourself a little longer We are coming and are much stronger Waste your time seeking our mistakes Unwilling to give just take, take, take

Cheat Lie 05:08
lyrics
Let me tell you a story about a man, let me tell you a story He made mistakes time and time again, so many mistakes There are no more questions, no more questions after all these years I’ve broken down, peeled the skin, just to fucking breath again To tame the beast the cheapest lie, a bitter lust to come home too I have tried to lose this face, this face so now it’s time I don’t want to be the one to write your eulogy I am not your fucking private property I can’t afford you, this wasn’t part of my plan Homemade personal grief, frostbitten poltergeist You can’t injure a dead nerve anymore, you can’t kill a dead nerve Another evil chapter unfolds, another evil chapter You can keep your wealth, keep your wealth until the day that you die To cut the snake, deep gravel rash, a loaded gun to sweat the hate I walk again to drag the tide of all these shallow graves I have tried to lose this voice, to lose this voice and now it’s time I don’t want to be the one to write your eulogy I am not your fucking private property I can’t afford you, this wasn’t part of my plan Homemade personal grief, frostbitten poltergeist Past or present So now I live my life with an open hand Once a troubled child yet now a happy man This defines me, completes the person I am A dog fight parade delivers the fatal blow The blues of puberty, your absence leaves no excuse No opportunity, no ammunition to win I can’t afford you, this wasn’t part of my plan Homemade personal grief, frostbitten poltergeist
