Sometimes you are the hunter
Sometimes your the prey
But when your confused and you don't know the rules
It's then that you regret you played
You're living a life on confusion
You're not controlling the game
Dealing in the everafter
Surely you'll regret someday

My shield serpentine
Beware, won't tread on me
Don't tell me that ll my gods are gone
All my gods are gone
Don't tell me that all my gods are gone

Your world's been torn asunder
Your mind is in decay
The terrible sound of them hunting you down
As surely you die where you lay
Living a life of disaster
You're not controlling the game
Living in the everafter
Something you'll regret someday

You can feel wind whip though the world today
The never ending spiral dance of fire
And then you tell me that all my gods are gone
I look for shelter from the coming storm
I look for shelter
From the rain
And the wind
Sweeps me away

In the heart of the stranger
In the passage of time
In the face of danger
Like nerves we are entwined

Ever expanding outward
Only to be sucked back in
Some call it good and evil
I call it virtue and sin

Death comes like a knock on your doom
Tall and mean, with shock and awe
A hooded cloaked black rider.
Who knows what the devil cries

Wind on the storm
Digging in deep, got our battle lines drawn
Brace yourself head between your knees

With the heart of a stranger
The ebb and flow of time
We are a resonant chamber
Bound to reflect in life
Unleashed from deep within us
Some great cosmic and void
Hellbent on our destruction
Chocking on a wrecking ball

Death comes like a knock on your doom
Tall and mean, with shock and awe
A hooded cloaked black rider.
Who knows what the devil cries

The vicious circle remains unbroken
The ties that bind us are intact
This ground was sacred long ago
Soil and spirit bound for life
Bite your tongue boys, you cannot save us
The words and deeds do not agree

Drawing blood from a stone
Is like throwing gas upon a fire

Blood from a stone
Throw some gas upon the fire
And light a match!

Bottles and bricks versus billy clubs and night sticks
Guns and troops and armored cars
You want to be alone, they're watching you at home
To keep you safe and free from harm
Motivation, a fearful nation
Whose thoughts and deeds do not agree

Tip of an arrow
End of a dart
Kiss of your lips
Rest in sweet death

You wait for dispatch
For moment that's right
To launch your death blow
You are the poisoner

A poisoned arrow
A drone strike
You kill from afar
You are in control of time

We kill to sruvvie
Our love's cast aside
We are like Judas
We are damned for all time

Chaos rising, dead in our tracks
A cindered tide, churning
From afar you ride
You say it's a woman's way
I say it's a coward's game
From across the room
You kill with your eyes

You think you're subtle
Gloves clean and white
From across the room
You kill with your eyes
You ride on a time worm
Through a wormhole of time
With your forked tongue of history
You are in control of time

You are the poisoner
Twisting words into poison
With your forked tongue of history
And your guile
You are in control of time

Nuclear winter, darkened skies
Stare in awe as ashes rise
I look around around and all I see
Are the stunned faces of humanity

Stare in awe as ashes rise
Nuclear winter, darkened skies
Ignorance is bliss it seems
The less you know the safer you'll be

As I sit and wonder
And everything's on fire
I think about the warning signs
The people I love and left behind
An aurora dawning
From the fire of morning
The poisoner infects or minds
In control of all mankind

You tell yourself you'll get rich working overtime
The years dragon, you find that you're not satisfied
Your habit's back, you've got demands on your time

You never worked that hard
Driving the getaway car

You're risk averse, at first this feels like suicide
But you don't like being dopesick all the time
You hold your breath and you hold the line

You never worked that hard
Driving the getaway car
Pretty soon it will catch up to you
In love with a needle and spoon

You think you rue the night
And it's messing up your life
Better get yourself together
A little further down the line
You think you rue the night
And it's messing up your life
The way you talk to strangers
You'll be dead before the light

Back at home they're talking about you all the time
They're telling stories as if it were out of true crime
Your desperate living is somehow glamorized

But they never cared about you
And they got nothing better to do

Jesus saves, just not you today
He gave up and tossed your soul away
All is lost and you are forsaken
No rest, no rest for the wicked

Sparks are flying up into the night
You leave your body by the fire light
Stumble blindly through the devil's deal
Chased by demons, hearts of cold hard steel

By way of hell and insanity
Death reigns all over everything
Open eyes you are forsaken
No rest, no rest for the wicled

Drive it like you stole it man
Train's running right off the rails
We're feeling hopeless and breakless
No rest, no rest for the wicked

Like a virus feeding on the soul
Pressure mounting as it takes it's toll
Hate and fury running through our veins
As spirit fading, nothing will remain

5 am, up out of bed again
Daily grind repeats, never ends
Barely holding on to my sanity
No rest, no rest for the wicked

Jesus saves, just not you today
He gave up and tossed your soul away
All is lost and you are forsaken
No rest, no rest for the wicked

What's alright fro the sinner
Should be fine for the saint
It's the flesh that delivers
Us all to the same place
Watch your pious behavior
Who do you think your foolin'?
If you think it won't claim you
Your heart drags you to it

I've heard it before
If I should take a fall
It's the sinner in me taking over
I've told you before
If I should do you wrong
It's the killer in me
Recognize the killer in you
And I'll see it through

Light that falls from the heavens
Darkness rise from the tombs
Waste of time this pretending
Judgment waits for us too
Watch your pious behaviour
Who do you think your foolin'?
If you think it won't claim you
Your heart drags you to it

It's when I find myself alone
Looking at me like I am a piece of meat on the bone
I look the devil in the eyes
I'm working just like you
For scraps they wouldn't throw to the doors

Snake in the grass
Crawling in the weeds
Silent killer, judge and the jury
Driving in traffic with the sun in your eyes
Like looking in from the outside
Now I'm sitting, twisting in the breeze
Down on myself and cut t the knees
Driving in traffic with the sun in your eyes
Like looking in from the outside

I looked the devil in the eyes
He's staring right at me as I am looking right through you
Don't wanna think you're a lost cause
I'm working just like you
For scraps they wouldn't throw to the doors
