Losin' Your Mind
From the album Pride & Glory (1994)

Woke up early this morning
As I looked around
My world be crumblin' down
What I saw
I couldn't believe
Who are you ?
What might I be ?
Oh, the things you do

Stare at the sun
1 means 3
At the helm insanity
If you'd look Mama, ya just might find
But you're too far gone
Now you're just losin' your mind

Wanting to get away
One more fix you'll be o.k.
The things ya do
Try and try to talk you down
You're so damn high, can't hear a sound
Oh, what's going on ?

Once you start
You can't stop
Start to shake
Fall apart
Engine's burnin' burnin' out of time
You're too far gone
Now you're just losin' your mind

Pass through time
Without a move
You're the one that's being used
If you'd look
You must might find
But you're too far gone
Now you're just losin' your mind

Horse Called War
From the album Pride & Glory (1994)

If the end be a comin'
I soon be a bummin'
All you Jesus freaks I hope you're wrong
I've got so much left to live for
All these religions without God's supervision
All you Jesus freaks you kill yourselves
All in the name of the Lord

You're gonna meet your maker
Soon he be comin' to town
You tear the horse a comin'
Mercy on your soul when you're found

Been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war
Ain't no denyin'
You can't bury a horse called war

All of this hatin'
Just social masturbation
All you Jesus freaks we need you now
What the hell are you waiting for
Through all the pollution
Ain't seen no solution
For you Jesus freaks that ride the horse called war

You're gonna meet your maker
Soon he be comin' to town
You hear the horse a comin'
Mercy on your soul when you're found

Been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war
Ain't no denyin'
You can't bury a horse called war

Everyone's talkin'
But nobody's walkin'
We keep feedin'
It keeps eatin'
We'll be down, down, down on the killin' floor

You're gonna meet your maker
Soon he be comin' to town
You hear the horse a comin'
Mercy on your soul when you're found


Been out ridin'
Ridin' a horse called war
Ain't no denyin'
You can't bury a horse called war

 Between Heaven & Hell
From the album Book Of Shadows (1996)

Dying to live, living to die
Ain't no hellos here, nothing but goodbyes
It's like singing a song that cannot be sung
It's like having to end, child,
what's yet to have begun

Chorus

Hey, hey, hey now
Where I am at times I just can't tell
Hey, hey, hey, now
I'm lost somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

All that you know and all that you knew
In the end, child, tell me what's it all mean to you?
Don't forget just who and where you are --
You can spread your wings son
But don't you spread yourself too far, yeah

Hey, hey, hey now
Where I am at times I just can't tell
Hey, hey, hey, now
I'm lost somewhere Between Heaven and Hell

Sold My Soul
From the album Book Of Shadows (1996)

Without you, woman, by my side
I'm contemplating suicide, torn from all my pride
A man tells me, "son, that ain't the way
Gonna make a deal with you child,
Gonna live another day
Just sign right here, son
Everything will be alright"

CHORUS:
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do
All and everything for you
Your love is all I know and ever knew
Therefore, I have sold my soul for you

I was told by this man it'd be worth my while
He'd return me to my woman
Return me to my smile ----
It's all I ask for in this life
Whatever's wrong, son, he told me he'd make right

Just sign right here child
Everything will be alright

CHORUS

All for you

SOLO

Just sign right here son
Everything will be alright

CHORUS

OUT SOLO

Bored To Tears
From the album Sonic Brew (1999)

Tired Of This
Done With That
Never Satisfied With Where I'm At
I Sit And Think
What To Do
Just A Motherfuckin' Bore
Without A Clue

Shot My Drugs
Drank My Booze
Tired Of Joy And Self Abuse
Eternally Jaded Through And Through
Just A Self Loathing Dick
Without A Clue

Oh
Bored To Death
I'm Just Bored To Tears
Same Old Shit Just Different Day & Year
Killed Myself But That Got Boring Too
So Beyond The Point Where It's Not True

Far Beyond High
Dramatically Low
Eternal Stare As If I Care To Know
All Of This Struggle
All Of This Work
In The End You Die Like Some Moronic Jerk

Shot My Drugs
Drank My Booze
Tired Of Joy And Self Abuse
Eternally Jaded Through And Through
Just A Self Loathing Fuck
Without A Clue

Oh
Bored To Death
I'm Just Bored To Tears
Same Old Shit Just Different Day & Year
Killed Myself But That Got Boring Too
So Beyond The Point Where It's Not True

The Colors I See Are All Bleeding
The Sound That Was Is Now Standing Still
I Wonder When It Was It All Faded
A Dullen Corpse That Cannot Be Killed

Oh
Bored To Death
I'm Just Bored To Tears
Same Old Shit Just Different Day & Year
Killed Myself But That Got Boring Too
So Beyond The Point Where It's Not True

Bleed For Me
From the album 1919 Eternal (2002)

This grave of life I give to you
And all what was you know it's true
Realms of fear they speak the truth
What has passed I hand to you

Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
I'll see you

I'll dig the hole, and bow my head
To see you smile, I wish my death
Realms of fear they speak the truth
What has passed I hand to you

Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
I'll see you

Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
Bleed for me, I've bled for you
Embrace me child, I'll see you through
I'll see you

Counterfeit God
From the album Stronger Than Death (2000)

Can't you see I feel your pain?
I've got Jesus running through my veins
In this hopeless life that's turned on you
Give yourself to me, I'll help you through
I feed off your unanswered fear
When visions of life's end appear
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me

(CHORUS)
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me

In this world when at it's best
Of never ending hate and death
Abandon all and trust in me
Escaping from reality
My world it has no space or time
The crippled walk and the sick feel fine
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me

Chorus

Beyond this wall of life unknown
I'll lead you where you need to go
Void of worry, stress and pain
Left with nothing but your name
We've washed your brain and cleansed your soul
Till' nothing's all you need to know
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me

Chorus

Stronger Than Death
From the album Stronger Than Death (2000)

Hunt me down, seek me out, bring your best
That's how I want it to be
Full of doubt, full of fear, all's unclear
It's over cuz now I can see
Like a tank, seething strength, crushing all
Pulling you under my treads
Lost some years, lost some days, that's O.K.
I piss on what's in my way

(CHORUS)

Your two-faced abusin'
Mindless confusion
Resolution
(I feel I'm breathing my first breath)
Manipulation
Dyin' salvation
You'll never rest
(You can't kill what's stronger than death)

Looked inside, found myself, it was me
Waitin' there at the well
If you're green, you ain't seen, life's a game
Sometimes it's just hard to tell
Gouging eyes, breakin' bones, eatin' flesh
Puts a smile on my face
Crawlin' through glass, eatin' nails, losin' blood
It's all part of findin' your place

Chorus

Demise Of Sanity
From the album 1919 Eternal (2002)

It's gonna break you son
it's gonna run you through
Forget the past and all you ever knew
You've never known such fear
You've never shed such tears
It'll have you wishin you were never here

Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down
Forever on the wrong side
Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down

All that has been,
All that's to be
No tomorrow,
no Demise of Sanity
All that has been,
All that's to be
No tomorrow,
no Demise of Sanity

Straight to the depths of hell
Ain't got no soul to sell
Death on death, the enternal funeral bell
You've never known such fear
You've never shed such tears
It'll have you wishin you were never here

Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down
Forever on the wrong side
Where have I gone?
Blacked out on my death ride
Twisted and broken down

All that has been,
All that's to be
No tomorrow,
no Demise of Sanity
All that has been,
All that's to be
No tomorrow,
no Demise of Sanity

We Live No More
From the albumThe Blessed Hellride (2003)

you say you don't know what its all about
just look around, youll see there is no doubt
the worms and maggots gather for the feast
an endless slave behind your beliefs

ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhh
choose what you wish to beleive
ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhh
choose what you wish to see
ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhh
the hatred one can't ignore
let the gathering begin
for, we live no more

you can't erase the past, that will not die
life's countless suffering, your countless lies
dead and buried, peace let you turn away
hate on hate was born here to stay

ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhh
choose what you wish to beleive
ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhh
choose what you wish to see
ohhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhh
the hatred one can't ignore
let the gathering begin

ohhhhhhhh

choose what you wish to see

the hatred one can't ignore

Stillborn
From the album The Blessed Hellride (2003)

Blind me, erased what was
Stillborn I have become
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

So empty, just a shell of a man
Stillborn, this I understand
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you for so very long

The Blessed Hellride
From the album The Blessed Hellride (2003)

break me down and roll me once again
got no time to think of now and then
catch my breath pick myself up off the floor
one more drink, a nervous breakdown, then another war

oh, you can never get too low,
when youre so damn high
oh, been out rolling
on the blessed hellride

Through the lines, aint no in betweens
Gardens of filth, the obscure and the obscene
catch my breath, pick myself up off the floor
one more drink, a nervous breakdown, then another war

oh, you can never get too low when you're so damn high
oh, been out rolling, on the blessed hellride
you can never get too low when youre so damn high,
on the blessed hellride


oh, you can never get too low when you're so damn high
oh, been out rolling, on the blessed hellride
you can never get too low when youre so damn high,
on the blessed hellride

Crazy Or High
From the album Hangover Music Vol. VI (2004)

I thought I knew who you were
I thought I did, now I ain't so sure
I can't believe what I see
I take a look and I know what you need

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Days have changed and rolled by
They are forever 'till the day that I die
You tried to kill me again
I feel no pain although the scars never mend

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high
Out of your mind
Oh, you must be crazy or high

House Of Doom
From the album Hangover Music Vol. VI (2004)

Take all that you can
Take it all
I know you'll do it again
Rape, rape me again
I'll take the fall
I know you'll do it again

Oh, another truth
And there's nowhere you can hide
Oh, in this house of doom
No one gets out alive
Oh, once you step inside
No one gets out alive

You lie, and you lie again
You've got your plans
And you sure ain't no friend
Oh, there ain't no turning back
They say "you reap what you sow"
Hell, if that ain't a fact!

Oh, another truth
And there's nowhere you can hide
Oh, in this house of doom
Ain't no one gets out alive
Oh, once you step inside
No one gets out alive

Oh, another truth
And there's nowhere you can hide
Oh, in this house of doom
Ain't no one gets out alive
Oh, once you step inside
No one gets out alive

  Doomsday Inc.
Previously Unreleased from 1919 Eternal sessions (2002)

Holy and high
The engines start to grind
the shotgun speaks the final word
the race to the end
keep killing all that you can
beneath the ground what can't be heard

roads paved in flesh
the bombs which have been blessed
the blackout through the doom
the race to the end
keep killing all that you can
the casket which fills the room

Slither with the maggots and the worms below
Warped confusion, mental illness bestowed
An inward view, an outward pass is all you can see
disillusioned warhead of reality

Gathered for the feast
the table is set for the deceased
how's the dead, no peace, no rest
the race to the end, keep killing all that you can
doomsday calling 'till nothing's left

  SDMF
Previously Unreleased from The Blessed Hellride sessions (2003)

You beat me down
and you ripped my soul
you must have thought i was through
you should have killed me when you had the chance
I cant describe whats gonna happen to you, to you

when heads roll
the more the better
strength determination merciless forever
when heads roll the more the better
strength determination merciless forever

As I lay bleeding in my pool of blood
I listen while you laugh
retribution in its purest form
you should have killed me while you had the chance, the chance

when heads roll
the more the better
strength determination merciless forever
when heads roll the more the better
stregnth determination merciless forever

when heads roll
the more the better
strength determination merciless forever
when heads roll the more the better
strength determination merciless forever
