01. Dead To Rights

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Is this what you came for
I know what I'm here for
Knocked down right to the floor
Commited to kill!
What you don't know
Can't just let it go!
They webbed me in this

Take cause you need more
Don't ask what's in store!
You'll be knocked down right to the floor
Committed to kill!
What you don't know
Can't just let it go
With all their hypocrisy!

My stomach's in knots
Throw at me what you got
'Cause I will break free,
of all the webs that bind me
My stomach's in knots
Throw at me what you got
'Cause I will break free,
of all the webs that bind me

I'm fit to be tied
I've got you dead to rights
It's like a suicide
Living alongside you

So...
Get what you came for
Fucked up on the floor
Kick straight out the door
Get yourself up
And bend to no man
No man
Who webbed me in this

Take cause you need more
Don't ask what's in store!
You'll be knocked down right to the floor
Committed to kill!
What you don't know
Can't just let it go
With all their hypocrisy!

My stomach's in knots
Throw at me what you got
'Cause I will break free,
of all the webs that bind me
My stomach's in knots
Throw at me what you got
'Cause I will break free,
of all the webs that bind me

I'm fit to be tied
I've got you dead to rights
It's like a suicide
Living alongside you

Webbed me up!
You webbed me up!
Hung me out to dry
Had no idea
I've got you dead to rights
Dead...to...rights!

Don't take it so personal
Its just that trouble is coming

You know it to be goddamn true!!!

I've got you dead to rights!
I've got you dead to rights!
I've got you dead to rights!
I've got you...
I've got you dead to rights!
I've got you dead to rights!
I've got you dead to RIGHTS!

02. Bring The Fight (To The Floor)

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Torrid tales from the rats,
They're filled with disgust
I'm closer to closure now than
I've ever been
It's so honestly honest just who's my friend
And who's riding the coattails 'til the end

Sure as shit
There's nothing that will change me
There's nothing sure as shit

Now there's no quick fix
You're broke,
no quick fix
You're broke,
no price for power

Bring the fight
Bring the fight
To the floor
No price for power
Bring the fight
Bring the fight
To the floor
No price for power

I'm pushed to the limit,
in my heart I've got malice
Cultivated in Cali...
And wasted in wonderland
Better the devil you know,
Than the one you don't
You can not trust
Another and you know you won't

Sure as shit
There's nothing that will change me
There's nothing sure as shit

Now there's no quick fix
You're broke,
no quick fix
You're broke,
no price for power

Bring the fight
Bring the fight
To the floor
No price for power
Bring the fight
Bring the fight
To the floor
No price for power

Annihilate to obliterate
Step fucking in
And redeem your fate...
Shot to the center of everything
Welcome to the new world!

[SOLO]

Bring the fight
Bring the fight
To the floor
No price for power
Bring the fight
Bring the fight
To the floor
No price for power

03. Hardened

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Outlast, outrun and kill the strong
We run as one, the hunt begun
I lay in wait out with my pack
'til dawn of day when we attack!
The first ones down without a sound
Then comes the second round
Where screams of pain and throws of lust
Have just begun to quench us!

With tooth and claw
We use our might
To tear them down,
Secure the fight
To sounds of screams that fill the night
The end is near,
The meal in sight
If might makes right
Then we ignite
Like moth to flame,
They cry in pain
The ones who escape
Remember our name,
Remember our name,
Remember our name!

Hunger drives a wolf...
From the woods when he comes to hunt,
Kill
Or hell, stay for good

Hardened (Hardened towards your world)
Hardened (Hardened towards your...words)
Hardened...in eternal vigil
Hardened like steel
Hard as hell

This thirst is on,
The carnage on
Take out the weak,
Take out the strong
We come in quick and hit them hard
And cut them down with little sound

With tooth and claw
We use our might
To tear them down,
Secure the fight
To sounds of screams that fill the night
The end is near,
The meal in sight
If might makes right
Then we ignite
Like moth to flame,
They cry in pain
The ones who escape
Remember our name,
Remember our name,
Remember our name!

Hunger drives a wolf...
From the woods when he comes to hunt,
Kill
Or hell, stay for good

Hardened (Hardened towards your world)
Hardened (Hardened towards your...words)
Hardened...in eternal vigil
Hardened like steel
Hard as hell

Send them packing
Stranger in my home
Godd riddance,
I never knew you
In the eyes of the fight the righteous bleeding
The blood that boils but god I love the killing!

[Solo]

Look to the skies, see the anger is seething
I'm gonna come with all at you, all at you!
Full guns out and blazing
The bodies fall as the stench thickness

Hardened
I'm hardened towards your world
Hard as hell!
Hardened
I'm hard as hell
Hardened

04. Shitlist

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Pure manifestation of evil
It's black and it's dismal
You'd never know until its upon you...
You're on a bender
I'm desconstructing the disease

You've burned the bridges
You've sowed the lies
You've burned the bridge
You're on the shitlist!

You've burned the bridges
You've sowed the lies
You've burned the bridge
You're on the shitlist!

Hate holds me together
Your skin's not worth the saving
Just keep my name outta your mouth
On your fuckin' benders
I'm desconstructing the disease

You've burned the bridges
You've sowed the lies
You've burned the bridge
You're on the shitlist!

You've burned the bridges
You've sowed the lies
You've burned the bridge
You're on the hit list!

The tables have turned
I've opened my eyes
Look at all you've burned
You're an the shitlist!

Fear will do what must be done
Death will reign from above

[Solo]

You've burned the bridges
You've sowed the lies
You've burned the bridge
You're on the hit list!

The tables have turned
I've opened my eyes
Look at all you've burned
You're on the shitlist!

You know who you are
You're on the hit list!

05. Talons Out (Teeth Sharpened)

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
What was said was like thunder in my head
I felt the earth quaking
The absence of atonement, all smiles...
Feed on me while you bring the unmaking

From the abyss without remiss
I pledge my person
I pledge my demon
No cure for money and allure
I pladge my person
I pledge my demon

Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down
Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down!

Antisocial, you're uncontrollable
Get away with murder
The absence of atonement, all smiles
It's all war from here

From the abyss without remiss
I pledge my person
I pledge my demon
No cure for money and allure
I pladge my person
I pledge my demon

Your glue
It's not gonna stick
Tape won't mend a broken heart
And some things you just can't fix

Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down
Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down!

Lift yourself up from the ground
Come at them with teeth sharpened
Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down!

It's a pre-emptive strike so bring the fighting
You're the first in line
Something tells me
The fix is all around me
So bring the fighting, so bring the fighting
Bring it

[Solo]

Tape won't mend a broken heart
And some things you just can't fix

Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down
Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down!

Lift yourself up from the ground
Come at them with teeth sharpened
Talons out and teeth sharpened
Don't let the fuckin' world beat you down!

Beat you down!

06. You Make Me Sick

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Pass them by
'Til all their pain subsides
As the lamb (the lamb) lays by your side
The last season is upon us tough to deal with a real hard case
Make no mistake
No bones about it
Never fit in but I've found my place!

Going in dirty as pigs
Sacred secrets of the sorrow bound
Going in dirty as pigs
Watching as it comes unwound

You make me sick!

Irreverent and full of wants
Shaking at the foundation
Gone again but not gone for good
Living in sedation
Think so little of yourself to think of no one else, hope no one tells
Make no mistake no bones about
It never fit in but I've found my place!

Going in dirty as pigs...
Sacred secrets of the sorrow bound
Going in dirty as pigs
Watching as it comes unwound

You make me sick!

With everything you do
With everything you are
Everything you say you take it too far
You make me sick, you make me sick!

This sour taste remains
This sour taste remains
Disdain, disdain, disdain


Sick!

Your actions speak louder than words
All I do is throw the curse

You make me sick! [x4]

With everything you do
With everything you are
Everything you say you take it too far
You make me sick, you make me sick!

Your actions speak louder then words
All I do is throw the curse!
I'll burn it down before it turns black
There's no solutions so I'm on the attack

07. Coldblooded

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Choking on the ladders you're hoping to climb
Swimming through the oceans divine
You keep wishing on stars that won't take you far
Wish me wish me far away

Beyond the voices is where the snakes lie the world is venomous
Beyond the fences is where they go to die
The world is venomous, it's fucking relentless!

Scrutinized, no one denies
You play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded they watch your lies, no one denies you play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded

There's fire in the goddamn sky
Dead but still dreaming
Lean on the dream that won't take you far
Wish me, wish me far away

Beyond the voices is where the snakes lie the world is venomous
Beyond the fences is where they go to die
The world is venomous, it's fucking relentless!

Scrutinized, no one denies
You play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded they watch your lies, no one denies you play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded

Scrutinized, no one denies
You play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded they watch your lies, no one denies you play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded

Deeds of the flesh, all put to rest stay steady
Coldblooded, coldblooded
They watch your lies, no one denies
You play the victim
Coldblooded, coldblooded

08. Blur

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
It's no wonder that you hang
Together... Can't keep myself sane
I flee in solace forever
Life's short, so duck for cover
Walls have ears, and the ears have eyes
They're all allies against the same enemy

[Chorus:]
I don't know what the future holds,
If you search for gold, better not sleep alone

I don't know you but I fucking hate you,
And what I am saying is it's been a blur.
I don't know you but I fucking hate you,
And what I am saying it was all a blur.

It's all about the opinion
I'm in solitary confinement
What I' am saying is
You and yours will face the judgement
Walls have ears, and the ears have eyes
They're all allies against the same enemy

[Chorus]

Self-loathing son of a bitch
Pick up the pace, pick up the pace

Obliterate the suffering now
This is a sacrifice
Burn it all away, I'll burn it all down
Separate the arrogants

Obliterate the suffering
This is a sacrifice
Burn it all away, I'll burn it all down
Separate the arrogance

I don't know you but I fucking hate you

You're a marked man, a marked man
You're a marked man, a marked man

I don't know you, I fucking hate you
I don't know you, I fucking hate you.

09. The Blame Game

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
I've got the ground, out from under you (Let me die!)
It's your mistake, it's your fault

It's a long walk home, but you've, hit rock-bottom...
It's a long walk home, and you'll never get home...
Give me a reason, to speak my mind...
Give me a reason, I'm not your bitch, every time.....

Blame me, you always
Blame me, for everything
Blame me, you always
Blame me, for everything
My mind is pure
My heart is true
You're a thankless piece of shit
I. BLAME. YOU!!

Pushed inside yourself (Fucker!), what do you see?!
It's your mistake, it's your gun.....

It's a long walk home, but you've, hit rock-bottom...
It's a long walk home, and you'll never get home...
Give me a reason, to speak my mind...
Give me a reason, I'm not your bitch, every time.....

Blame me, you always
Blame me, for everything
Blame me, you always
Blame me, for everything
My mind is pure
My heart is true
You're a thankless piece of shit
I. BLAME. YOU!!

Transgressions not forgotten, cutting off the cost
Iron-cast, bound forever, to fight for triumph or tragedy.....

I blame you!(You..)(You..)
I put the blame on, I put the blame on you!!(You, you..)(You, you..)
I put the blame on, I put the blame on(Put the blame on!) YOU!!!
I. BLAME. YOU!!

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
[16 Horsepower cover]

11. Crowns Of Creation

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
[Verse 1]
You're a fucking hustler,
Wearing crowns of creation!
I was born a troubler,
Spitting venom, I've been a hunter!

I was on probation, you were on parole,
When you're wrong, you're wrong... You know!
To err is Human, to forgive divine,
What's yours is yours, what's mine is mine!

[Chorus]
Life is hard,
No one makes it out alive!
Seek higher ground!
No matter how bad it gets,
There's someone worse off than you!
Seek higher ground!

[Verse 2]
Men are evil, all men are vain!
Pride dies first... within the grave!
Worries are wasted, all cares put to ease...
As the claw scratches us like fleas!

Blood of the dog, a man is not a man
Without blood on his hands
These scars I've earned, I've earned on my own
Distant memories... away from home

[Chorus]
Life is hard,
No one makes it out alive!
Seek higher ground!
No matter how bad it gets,
There's someone worse off than you!
Seek higher ground!

[Pre-Breakdown]
The world goes by,
You've gotta make it alone now!
Put that shit on the shelf and become a man!
Work hard, count only on yourself!
Seek higher ground!

[Pre-End]
The world never fought for me!
In fact it's been heartless 'til the end.
With everyone helping me go down,
And all the misery that's around!
My blind vision!
You'll all dead by morning!
My blind vision!
Now all the blood is pouring!

[Ending Verse]
Disavow everything that they say!
Disavow everything that they're about!
Seek higher ground!

12. Lend Myself To The Night

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
These spirits exact a heavy toll
I've had it
Thrown caution out of the window
Let evil in at times...
Paid an exact price for all my crimes
Bathed in blood but came out...
Clean as a holy shrine

Lend myself to the night
Thrown myself to the wind, fuck it!
It's worth the risk, it's worth the risk
It's worth believing in

Bells ringing in the eyes of fire
I've had it
Watch what you seek, it really exists
Let evil in at times...
Paid an exact price for all my crimes
Bathed in blood but came out...
Clean as a holy shrine

Lend myself to the night
Thrown myself to the wind, fuck it!
It's worth the risk, it's worth the risk
It's worth believing in

True, I've been there and back again
Found myself face down on the tracks, face down

13. Lost

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Eat your inners, choke on your tongue
Rip off your flesh, be gone
Gouge eyes, drown in your spit
Self-loathing son of a bitch - That's it
Who needs friends when I've got these meds
And I know where the trouble stems
Who thinks it's all set to fail ?
This is not the case

Punch the numbers, push the button
Keep life living... Escape
Punch the numbers, push the button
Keep life living... Escape

When justice meets revenge
There's much to ascertain
After the trigger is pulled...
Fools... All learn it the hard way

Lost (Amputate/Dismember)
Lost (Tank treads and train tracks)

Pull your Hair out, eat poison
Jump from that window
Scratch your eyes out, fall down stairs
Just fucking die though
Who needs friends when I've got these meds
And I know where the trouble stems
Who thinks it's all set to fail ?
This is not the case

Concern is not your care
Shovel to the back, to the back of your head
Stare down this frozen glare
Nothing to fear, Nothing
Nothing !

Lost (Amputate/Dismember)

14. Fortune Favors The Brave

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Christ-like in the composition
You're the brunt of the problem
It's my bone of contention
So many faults I fail to mention
When the house is blowing down
And you're fighting for the crown
You got to learn to manifest the sound
That gets them all running

You have a history of missing the point
So let me point this one out
Every time has it's season
Every last moment it's reason

Fortune favors the brave
This city is a dying whore
It's too late to save
And it will never change

Nauseous at the site
Furious towards it's vice
I get sick thinking about it
Insane, faint-hearted
When the house is blown down
And you're fighting for the crown
I get sick just thinking about it
It gets them all running

You have a history of missing the point
So let me point this one out

Change!

Don't let down, cold night
Falling down to my knees

15. Grinfucked

Music & lyrics by Devildriver
Lights on, but no one's home
I should've left you alone
You can't stand the heat; you're all alone
Yeah!
Horseshoes and hand grenades
Coulda, woulda, shoulda; your bed is made
Another man down and gone

Take advantage, manipulate
Take advantage, you piece of shit

Grinfuck
Debt paid in full!
You won't grinfuck me!

This time, the advantage is mine
This time, vengeance is mine
Come seeking treasure
Without a map
It's in the journey and you'll never find your way back

Take advantage, manipulate
Take advantage, you piece of shit

Grinfuck
Debt paid in full!
You won't grinfuck me!

Drop down!
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
You've been grinfucked
