01. Hell Written

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[C.]
I got hell, can't you see
I got hell, written all over me

[1.]
Riding with the living dead I'm riding high I'm riding free, yeah
The thoughts that fill up my head are wicked and obscene
So if you're riding with me, your riding damned, free from the grace of god
Demon eyes yeah demon life, see with my eyes and keep yours shut

[2.]
We all have beasts that dwell within, and I have set mine free
I've let loose my devil spree, to fill the emptiness in me
I've sold my soul to a carnal ghoul, the devil? I've shaked his hand
I sold my soul and then time takes its toll, forever I stay damned

[REPEAT C.]

[3.]
Burning as I feel the flames getting higher, will I become a victim of my own desires
Still I'm more then satisfied, with my life, yeah the life of the wild side
As you carry on your pathetic existence, I'll be my own god and master
And I'll keep on spitting on your beliefs, and I'll keep laughing at your chosen one

[REPEAT C. x3]

[4.]
Riding with the living dead I'm riding high I'm riding free, yeah
The thoughts that fill up my head are wicked and obscene
I've sold my soul to a carnal ghoul, the devil? I've shaked his hand
I sold my soul to rock'n'roll, forever I stay damned

[REPEAT C.]

02. Uncontroll Me

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
I feel that chains are holding me down
"The normal norm" is keeping me bound
I need to face and vent my extremes
I need my hate and violent dreams

[2.]
Yeah! I need to face and vent my extremes
Hey! Yeah! I need my hate and violent dreams

[3.]
Seems like a lifetime since I let myself loose
I need that rush like a drunk needs his booze
I need an overdose yeah of adrenaline
Free me from grace and let me live in sin

[4.]
Only my own terms, in my own world I need to fuel the fire
This killing spree, inside of me is what keeps me high

[C.]
Uncontrol me
I need to face and vent my extremes
Uncontrol me
I need my hate and violent dreams
Uncontrol me
I need to face and vent my extremes
Uncontrol me
Insanity controls me supreme

[5.]
A voice inside, tries to break free
A fucking choir screams in me
This useless carcass is my own cage
I cannot handle the rage
What I'll become will not be humane
As my own body keeps me restrained
I'll bet my life I'll be an ugly sight
No fucking looks but high on might

[REPEAT 4.]
[REPEAT C.]

[6.]
Uncontrolled, unsynchronized, unorganised
My own asylum, my head is filled with cries
Every ounce of sanity is pulverized
Like a blind man I wonder, my release will be when I die

[REPEAT C.]

03. No Destiny

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
We live our lives in our daily fashion
Confuse our lives with unanswered questions
Seems everybody needs a reason to live
Seems everybody has someone to forgive

[2.]
So they control their life with destiny
Blame it on "It was meant to be"

[3.]
I won't be a part of the role
I'd rather stay uncontrolled
I just believe in odd accidents
I have remorse that I can't repent

[C.]
It's just another race to be run
And your day is what you make it
And just maybe I want it undone
But I just have to face it

[4.]
So live your life in your daily fashion
Forget your questions and live by passion
You don't need anything to obey
And if things go wrong, well you just have to pay

[REPEAT 2.]
[REPEAT C.]
[REPEAT 1.]
[REPEAT 4.]

[REPEAT C. x2]

04. Demon I

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
The stranger it seems, the clearer it gets in my eyes
It's like all that is wicked, is natural with my sight
As damned as I may seem to you, the feeling gets me high
Cause I do feel I'm blessed, with the demon eye

[2.]
With eyes of a damned, and sense of the insane
The stark raving mad, run without shame

[3.]
The stranger it seems, the stronger I get in my mind
You'll all be subhuman, inferior to my shame

[4.]
The demon am I, and demon my eyes
I am the power, watch me arise

[5.]
Sacred sights of fire
Blinds my human eyes
Truth as spooked by liars
Leaves me drained and dry

[C.]
Demon eye, bless my sight
Let me live without the light
The demon is not a part of me
I, am part of the demon

[REPEAT C.]

[6.]
N' the clearer it gets, the quicker it darkens the skies
And I'll become king, of all that you despise

[REPEAT 2.]
[REPEAT 5.]
[REPEAT C. x2]
[REPEAT 2.]

Demon eye, demon

05. Not Of This World

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
Come follow me, yeah into the night
Let me show you something, oh the greatest fright
The ultimate of horrors, that man can't explain
A fucking living nightmare, you'll ask yourself if you are sane
Is this the outer limits, is this the twilight zone
Or from another planet, a motherfucking UFO
Do you feel in doubt, of your sanity
Can you believe your eyes, is this really what you see
You get down on your knees, saltwater in your eyes
Well if you're sure of something, you are sure that it is...

[C.]
Not of this world, as I know it, I feel my fear growing
Not of this world, which we live in, is this a new beginning

[2.]
So come follow me, to the edge of sanity
If you're a non-believer, well this you cannot flee
Cause when you see the sights, of this brightened night
You can't look away, the light is too fucking bright
You have nowhere to run, no fucking place to hide
Your mind rips apart, this is the way I'm gonna die
You get down on your knees, saltwater in your eyes
Well if you're sure of something, you are sure that it is...

[REPEAT C.]

[3.]
You pinch your skin in despair
You cannot breathe your gasping for air
The sights you see, you don't wanna believe
Convince yourself that your minds been deceived

Bang your head!

[REPEAT C.]

06. Dead I Walk

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
All is dead in me, except my will to be
Living blood no longer feeds me
Need no sympathy, for the life of being dead
Of being eternally, I'm no stranger to this afterlife
There's no puzzles, there's no strife
Cause to me I'm real, and the things I feel
Are things you can't even dream

[2.]
Through the night a stalk, like a dead I walk
Have no clue what it is that is driving me
My nocturnal ways, seems to save me
Everything is black and white and grey
Like a vagabond, yet an undead one
Roaming the land 'til I feel that my race is run
Have no misery, of this life alone
No blood in my veins and feel that my heartbeats gone, uh!

[C1.]
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died

[3.]
All the things you fear, as the night draws near
That is the world, witch I choose to live
Where the nightmares are made, where the beasts
Under your bed have much lighter shade
In a human shell, this is not my hell, now I feel
I'm growing. By dying, I'm knowing
When was I deceased, when was my release
Eternally thankful am I to death divine

[C2.]
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died
If you talk the talk, learn to walk the walk
That's a rule that you live and die by
That's the rule I lived and died

[4.]
Dead I walk, dead I walk

07. Born, Breed, Bleeding

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
Kneel down, yeah down on your knees
We are superior, do as we please
Won't let you up, we'll keep you restrained
We'll make sure, that your life is pain
You are the poison that sickens our land
Keep you under water, so you can't make your stand
We are infected and you're the disease
Let you live like animals so you powers won't increase

[2.]
You're a slave, make no mistake
This is the order, you give and we take
From the start , we'll keep you in chains
Ball and chain, that you barely can lift
So stay down, down in your pit
You are a venom you fucking misfit
We'll make you normal and keep you in shape
Free from emotion can't love nor hate

[3.]
No emotion, you feel your mind is drained
Your mind is slowly brainwashed
Soul distortion, an empty feeling fills you
We grind your love and hate to shreds

[C.]
What will it take for you to realize
That you are killing yourselves
What will it take for you to open your eyes
Are you beyond all help
What will it take for you to realize
That you are killing yourselves
What will it take for you to open your eyes

[4.]
You're a slave, make no mistake
This is the order, you give and we take
From the start , we'll keep you in chains
Ball and chain, that you barely can lift
Kneel down, yeah down on your knees
We are superior, do as we please
Won't let you up, we'll keep you restrained
We'll make sure, that your life is pain

[5.]
Psychic violence keeps you restrained
Forever your our slave
Keep you looking with ball and chain
Leeds you to the shallow grave

[6.]
No emotion, enslaved
Your mind is slowly brainwashed
Soul distortion, an empty feeling fills you
We grind your love and hate to shreds

[REPEAT C.]

[7.]
Born, breed, bleeding...

08. Bleed You Dry

Music by Edge Of Sanity
Lyrics by Dread
[1.]
I am the one that makes you weak
I am the one that makes you feel like a spineless creep
I am the one without no heart
I am the one that tears your fuckin' life apart

[2.]
And so you wonder where I came from
Look deep inside
And so you wonder why have I come
There ain't no reason why

[C.]
A parasite from within
Feeding from your own sins
Draining your sanity, 'til insanity arrives
I came to bleed you dry
I came to see you die
I came to bleed you dry

[3.]
And you're the one that keeps me strong
And you're the one that keeps me going on and on
Yeah you're the one that feeds me
And when you die, I will still be

[4.]
No chains or ropes can ever hold me back
I'm breaking you down, crack by crack
Yeah you're the one that feeds me
And when you die, I will still be

[REPEAT 2.]
[REPEAT C.]

[5.]
I came to bleed you dry
I came to see you die
I came to bleed you dry
I came to see you die
