Tracks



01. Shadow Man

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Asleep in black
There's no light in the crack
The crooked fingers for you
No don't ya dare say a prayer
It's just the nights n your mare
Oh the long forever you'll do

Oh free at last
With a heart in the black
Forever shadowing you
Don't you swear to the terror
Your god never cares
Oh come whatever your do

No mercy - no coming back
No mercy - forever fade to black

Oh where's the god that made you
Oh your're superman
Going down forever - to never land
Oh where's the God you pray
Forsaken again
It's never Heaven - oh
The Shadow Man

Where's the god that made you
Oh you're superman
Going down forever to never land
Don't runaway or hide again
No gates of Heaven

02. My Wicked Heart

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Am I free
Am I done believing
Oh God Jehovah
I've never known religion

Lost int the darkness of my memories
Deep in the darkness of my heart
Coiled in the grass's that torment me
There lies my serpents in the dark

Father I'm here in the dark
And I know it's forever night
Oh tell me can you change forever
My wicked heart
Father I'm here in the dark
And I know my heart is the darkness
Oh tell me can you claim me never
My wicked heart
Because nothing can change
My wicked heart
Nothing can tame
My wicked heart
Nothing unchains
My wicked heart

Am I too far
Beyong forgiving
A borrowed soul
Ain't never known believing

Lost in the dark can you forgive me
Deep in the darkness of my heart
Coiled in the grass's that torment me
There lies my serpents in the dark

03. Black Bone Torso

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Black bone torso, black bone torso
Cyanide a suicide
No thoughts of pain
Genocide a crucified martyr's
Laid down to dust there to fade away
All geeks and circus freaks
Come play with me
Pimps to bring my sex friends

Molesting me
Round to the lust my debauchery
Destined here to reign supreme
Your bloodied king
Dying for the world
Oh death where is thy sting
My black bone torso's
Bleeding me

04. Hell For Eternity

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Where ya gonna run
Ya never should have come
But welcome to the ball

My hands on the trigger
MY guns getting bigger
I'll introduce you all

Won't you say
Hello to my little friend
Won't you pray
Get on your knees
And pray to die
Oh - you're gonna burn tonight

Nothing's gonna sava ya
Oh ya better pray - to
Whatever God you want

Yeah I'm a killer
Oh I'm a thriller
I'm Godzilla with a gun

Hell - Kill'em to Hell for Eternity
Oh - Tonight
Hell - Send'em to Hell for Eternity
Oh - It's allright

Oh don't you cry
To your God for mercy
Oh woah you're gonna die
Lke a shot from my gun
You're gonna burn, burn, burn
Yeah you're gonna burn, burn

05. Hallowed Ground

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Come and take me down
The dark beyond
And take me there
Where I come from

Take me down
To the place where I'll kneel
And let me lay my shadow down
In through the eyes
Of a child's inner me
No pain to heal my bloodied brow

There is no rain
To save this silent town
There is no rain to save at all
There is no place
To save this silent ground
There is no place to save at all

Oh Father take me
Unto where I'll lay me down
On Hallowed Ground

Oh the sky is falling
And I don't know where my home is now
My Hallowed Ground

Oh and can you take me
For I have tasted Hallowed Ground
Oh all around

Father - Oh do you hear me
This pain I will not cry aloud
Father - I know you hear me
My head is bludgeoned but unbowed

06. Revengeance

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Why's my blood race
Why I gnash my teeth
Sand man's come here
With his misery
You wrought with pain
As you slash my flesh
Wrath's revenge lives again

Cane killed Abel did his brother's deed
Cursed all time
Damned to spread his seed
Pricks to blind

Thorns in my side
Oh, slay thy brother's life

I'll kill your pain oh the seeds of Cane
I ain't no stranger giving love
Don't ya plead
Oh won't ya bleed for me
Hell's be raining from above

I'm coming home
Vengeance be thy name
I'm coming home
Revengeance scream my name

Oh your God's got you dying to be
Oh your martyr's in the sand
I'll hunt you down like the dogs that you be
Your Armageddon's in my hands
Come to me I'll set you free
Come to me will you die for me

07. Trail Of Tears

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
There's a thousand voices in my head
Long ago
Come inside, see yourself tonight
Let me in, floating on the wind
Oh, I don't know
The sounds you hear
Are silent in the night

The lost road of destiny
I ride away home
Head to lay on velvet nails tonight
And will I lay
Me down to close my eyes
Oh, I don't know
Spirit wind with broken wings to fly away home

My feet are raw from the
Trail where I've been
Oh God these tears are evermore
My heart is gone
Oh to never come again
I'll walk the stars
On my way home
God I'm on a trail of tears
Where tomorrow never knows
A resurrection closer to a
Light I've never known
Play the game existence to the
Living end I go
Take me down to the trail of tears
Where tomorrow never knows
Oh I'm on a trail of tears
Where tomorrow never knows
Oh I'm closer to a light
I've never known
Play the game of existence to the
Living end I go
Down to the trail of tears where
Tomorrow never knows
Let my people go

08. Stone Cold Killers

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
Think about the sorrow
You brought
Think of all the horror
You made
Lying to a world
That you wrought
Dying for the world - oh
That you made

What'd you get for
Souls that you bought
The bloody dead in the trades
Don't never blame
The souls that you lost - on
Upon the whores of Babylon
That you laid

Johnny get your guns
You'll need all of those prophets you pray
Oh yeah Johnny get your guns
I've come to kill the god that you made

I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
Stone cold killer's what I am
Your widowmaking ones come
You can't hide
I'm gonna murder superman
Murder superman
I got a heart breaker in my hands
Yeah here I come
Oh - You're gonna die

Your lying messiah you know isn't real
How will you die for the one that you kneel
Better get your guns
I'm gonna kill your god
My God will kill your god

09. Rubber Man

Music & lyrics by Blackie Lawless
The man of steal is
Master of lies
This rubber mother's
Tied to me for life
Heart breaker the snake
He'll do it to you
Oh he's killing me alive
I'm tied to rubber
I'm tied up for life

The son of Charlie
Morgue of liars
Don't let him get ya
Oh or he'll sodomize you
Ball breaker and raper'll
Do it to you
Rubber man's a fucking liar

I'm dying from pain
Let me go
Here he comes I'm hiding my hole
Don't give me your grease
I'm dying for rubber
I'm dying from pain
I'm dying no
Don't give me your love
Get down on your knees
And give me your rubber
