Peel away the Earth and raise the dead
Back from the grave to strike again
We have come as children of the night
Sworn to drain everything of life

When I'm dead and gone, I'm gonna rage in hell
I believe in nothing but believe in myself

One day, I'm gonna go
Coming back to haunt you as a motherfucking ghost

One for the butcher
Rising high with sharpened knives,
There's no soul to hide behind these eyes
One for the butcher
It's a full moon tonight
At midnight, the butcher will rise

When the sun goes down, you best not find yourself with no one home
You're not alone
You'll all be dead by dawn

One day, I'm gonna go
Coming back to haunt you as a motherfucking ghost

One for the butcher
Live in the dark long enough until your eyes adjust
One for the butcher
Born of primordial ooze, I've got no pulse and I've got nothing to lose

We are what nightmares are made of
What the feared fear most on this day of the living dead
All hallow's eve where the dead rule the night
Translucent apparitions come into plain sight
Six more hours till the sun lights the sky
No one is safe on Halloween night
Unearthed from the ground
Spirits manifest from the gates of hell
Flickering flames pierce the lingering veil
Tonight, we forget the bounds of right and wrong

Come summer's end when the leaves turn brown
Creatures buried deep won't stay in the ground

Come take a walk on the dark side with me

Peel away the Earth and raise the dead
Back from the grave to strike again
We have come as children of the night
Sworn to drain everything of life

Here we go again
Down that same old dead-end path
Nothing to my name; just a head full of dreams
Nothing to prove and nothing to lose
Take my hand if you're headed my way
We can leave and never look back
Only got the one chance
We can leave and never look back

One more thing before I leave this world
Drop the match in the path of gas; the flame will find its way
Burn it down
Burn it down with them locked inside
Don't give a fuck if you live or die
This city is full of thieves
This city is full of thieves, which prey upon our hopes and dreams

Now it is I who cast the stones
Now it is I who steal your dreams

Down that same old dead-end path
Take my hand or get out of my way
Here we go
So drop the match
Watch the flames erase our past
Erase our past
Burn this motherfucker down

And if I forget to tell you
Drop the match in the path of gas; the flame will find its way
Burn it down
Burn it down with them locked inside
Don't give a fuck if you live or die
This city is full of thieves

Walk with me down the road of hollow dreams
In chaos, we shall strive
In chaos, we shall reign
Where lost souls remain
Once lost but now were found
My own personal hell

Burn it down with them locked inside
Burn this motherfucker down

Soldier of fortune, an army of Ooe
Battle-born, I'm a motherfucking patriot
I write to you from this recon to hell
Been recruited from this generation
Kill, kill, kill

I was born to crush you
Kill, kill, kill
I was built for war

A day without blood is like a day without sunshine
All I need is this firepower at my side
I write to you from this recon to hell
Never had a chance
Here we go, kill, kill, kill

I was born to crush you
Kill, kill, kill
I was built for war

Lock and load
Mount the guns
You better run
Pull them back
Let them fly
I was born to crush you

I stand and fight while the cowards run and hide
Step aside as I come ripping through
Or fall victim like the countless many other do
A single move and get wasted by my crew

Swing the hammer with the force of a raging bull
I won't rest until the snap of your neck
Fuck the best and die like the rest
You better know I am built for war
Take your shots and make them count
I'll chew the bullets and spit them out
Now you're choking on my full-metal rounds
You better know I am built for war
Armed to the teeth, I'm a killing machine
Your artillery will never fucking stop me
When you come, you better bring an army
You'd best believe I am built for war

I walk this Earth alone with broken bones
I fear no evil
Evil fucking fears me
Your time has come, looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
I am the shadowed one

Evil fucking fears me

I am refined in the fire
From the furnace, I emerge casted in steel
I am refined in the fire
From the flames, we march on to victory

Evil fucking fears me

I am refined in the fire
I am the weapon of choice for the warrior king
Recognize, I'm refined in the fire
You'll see the dragon tremble at the song we sing
I am refined in the fire
And will his kingdom fall?
Know that time will tell
Recognize, I'm refined in the fire
Under the blood, I stand to bring war on hell

I represent the army of the shadowed realm
I am a soldier for the damned
The broken
You will know me from my path of destruction
I write to you from hell
Forward

You want a war?
You'll get a war
I was trained with pain, hate, and agony
Desensitized from this fucked world around me
I'm going out, and I'm taking you with me

I walk this Earth alone with broken bones
I fear no evil
Evil fucking fears me
Your time has come, looking down the barrel of a smoking gun
I am the shadowed one

Between life and death
The inevitable end for heroes and lost souls
Lie a battlefield of purpose
The purpose of one
The unraveling of destiny
Our destiny
Endowed with greatness
Seeking perfection of our soul
Unscared and not created to squander it
True and faithful to a unique warrior spirit
I am I
Never on big knees begging for help or pity
Standing stout and appearing pressed
Penetrating the glorified eyes of a creator to discover
I am he
He is I
Sent forth to rise above shame and mediocrity
To give not one fuck for the idea of original sin
To actualize the warrior legend within my mind
To stand and deliver a destiny unlike any other
To live with heart of warrior that will, one day, speak from the tombstone atop my grave
I will do in my life what will live forever

Fearless
My nerves are calm and my thoughts collected
Kings and queens of this new generation
We won't stop till the guillotine chop
When the blade hits the block and my head slowly drops

You better fucking recognize
I'm untouchable
Unobtainable
Fuck around and find out that I'm unstoppable
I've been smashed into the ground
But make no mistake: I'll never be counted out
You will bow to my reign

This blade within your grasp, may its secrets lay in vain
The time will come when it's stained with blood
Nothing the rain can't wash away
May God grant my opponent strength for every step he takes
Once we come face to face, you'll never walk away

Fearless
Nerves of steel; eyes locked on my target
We won't stop till the guillotine chop
When the blade hits the block and my head slowly drops

You better fucking recognize
I'm maniacal
Diabolical
Self-proclaimed insane; completely certifiable
We will never be the same
But make no mistake
Don't ever speak my fucking name

Take this blade within your grasp; may its secrets lay in vain
The time will come when it's stained with blood
Nothing the rain can't wash away
May God grant my opponent strength for every step he takes
Once we come face to face, you'll never walk away

I will follow you into the depths of the unknown

Make way for the wrecking crew
Me and you against the world

Put your love, your trust, all your faith in me
I'll burn your dreams into the ground, you better believe

Believe me, kid: I've stood in your shoes
Don't buckle under pressure; you got to keep your head together
Skeletons are busting down the closet door
No longer is your secret safe
You are the world's disease
Believe me, kid: I've stood in your shoes
Don't buckle under pressure; you got to keep your head together

Put your love, your trust, all your faith in me
I'll burn your dreams into the ground, you better believe

I can't fight this urge as the claws extract
Goddamn
Wrong has never felt so right
Love casted from my heart
Now encased in steel
Two clenched fists is all I need to ensure my place in hell
Listen close to what your dreams are telling you
Your biggest fears, your nightmares are all becoming true
I regret to inform you that I just don't give a fuck

You're now in my world
Welcome to your doom; I'll see you through and through and through
Until you rot in hell

There is no escape from this
Now I await the flames to come and melt my sins away
No escaping this
The reaper has come to collect
The monster subsides, but when I get the twitch, I'll scratch the itch
The wolves come out as night

Put your love, your trust, all your faith in me
I'll burn your dreams into the ground
You better believe

I live my life as an outcast
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Most hated from day one
I find solace in solitude
Take my life in stride with a bad attitude

Fuck what you know
Fuck what you think
Until you say it to my face, your talk is fucking cheap
Fuck what you've heard
Fuck your self-esteem
Try talking shit when you're spitting out your teeth

I try to watch my mouth, but these words, they just keep coming out
It must stem back from the days of my youth
All these uptight pricks trying to tell me what to do
I'm going to do what I do
Fuck you

I'm 'a let that beat drop
Most hated
Go

The outcasts of society
We don't run the world
We run these streets
The outlaws of society
We don't ask for justice
We run these streets

I sit back always watching
Think you're on top because you came out stomping
Guess again
With the nod of my head, you'll be six feet deep, sealed up in a coffin
It must stem back from the days of my youth
I guess I'll go through life with a bad attitude

I'm 'a let that beat drop
Most hated
Go

You arrogant fuck
You think you're influential
You can't say shit, so we wrote an instrumental

Instrumental

Put your hands up
Reach for the sky
Do what I say or let the bullets fly

Another life lost in the city of angels
No rest for the wicked in the city of angels
Another dream dies in the city of angels
No mercy for the weak in the city of angels

Trudge through the angelic wasteland
Pure scum between my toes
Beacon of light beckons for me, but I choose to continue to roll
"Why, oh, why?" I ask myself again
What, oh, what has become of me?
Angels of doom in hostile times
Victims of our own reality

Trapped inside
Trapped inside a world I've sculpted with others' pain
Built upon
Built upon the bodies I've been compelled to slay

Just another day in the wild wild west
When push comes to shove, you get put to the test
Big dreams and palm trees cover up the crime scene
Red line
No time
Load another magazine

Trapped inside
Trapped inside a world I've sculpted with other's pain
Built upon
Built upon the bodies I've been compelled to slay

No matter where I go
No matter where I stay
I always come back
California
No matter where I go
No matter where I stay
I gotta get back
California

Another life lost in the city of angels
Where blood and money collide
No rest for the wicked in the city of angels
Where evil calls home and dreams come to die
Another dream dies in the city of angels
Where blood and money collide
No mercy for the weak in the city of angels
Where evil calls home and dreams come to die

Constant fights on concrete battlefields
Wage war on the boulevard
This is the hell I call my home
And I'm home with the evil at heart

Trapped inside
Trapped inside a world I've sculpted with others' pain
Built upon
Built upon the bodies I've been compelled to slay

No matter where I go
No matter where I stay
I always come back
California
No matter where I go
No matter where I stay
I gotta get back
California

Another life lost in the city of angels
Where blood and money collide
No rest for the wicked in the city of angels
Where evil calls home and dreams come to die

Check, check
Ha-ha-ha
Back again and again
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
Winds of plague
From the block to the top
Spin it again, motherfucker

Trapped inside, these demons break through
Through my flesh
My blood?it runs blue
Born and raised
My birthplace
We roll in packs like a superior race
Manifest destiny, a joke to me
Go back where you came from or you'll answer to me
Cali sun got me tan like Iraq
Executively executed, I'll be back

Go

The blood stops flowing when there's no one left to bleed
You'll be begging for your life
Get on your fucking knees

I've never trembled in the face of fear
I possess the strength to dominate
Standing strong with a lion heart
I obtain the strength to dominate

Take heed of my warning
You'll be impaled headless on a stake
Bones picked clean by the morning
We drove the nails; now we've sealed your fate

One, two, fuck you

I see the weakness in your eyes
Do you see my strength to dominate?
Walk away while your heart still beats
Or feel my strength to dominate
Get down on your fucking knees

The blood stops flowing when there's no one left to bleed
You'll be begging for your life
Get on your fucking knees

Don't come to the killing fields if you don't have any fucking heart
There will be blood

What hasn't killed me yet
Has given me the strength to dominate
All the pain I have endured has provided my strength to dominate

Take heed of my warning
You'll be impaled headless on a stake
Bones picked clean by the morning
We drove the nails; now we've sealed your fate
Get down on your fucking knees

The blood stops flowing when there's no one left to bleed
You'll be begging for your life
Get on your fucking knees

Fool, I have tried to warn you:
There will be blood
