1. 1885

[Instrumental]

2. Somewhere In The West

Gun in hand, death on demand
I'm a villain on the loose
Killing just a way to make a loving
This is my way
How much do you think I'm worth?
When a bounty rests on my neck
For crimes against the murder city
I stand by me, no-one else

Welcome to my situation
Something serious is going down
One man, two guns and a lonely street
No law, no rules, I can take a heat
The sweat drips down and my fingers shakes
Ease on the trigger
Then walk away from this town

Do you see me? I can see you
payment means I have to kill you
I'm good yet bad, but keep my honour
You say I'm wrong but I must kill
Shoot my gun, you're gone forever
Couldn't care less, see you in hell

From shadows I steal the night
Sleep under sunrise
Moving in, creeping closer still
Must keep out of sight
Through desolate wasteland
The place I call home
I'm wanted dead or alive
I am the outlaw - kill them all

Humans come and humans go
I decide which way they go
I intend to be the one to take
them on at their own game
When you have bounty on your head
You cannot tell whose friend or foe
Keep on turning, time to go

Terrify across the nation
One man trail of devastation
To the case for my gun. but the gun ain't there
What can do? Cut and run? - Throw a knife through the air
Target moves quick, got to make the choice
End it now; he can't walk away from this town

OUTLAW! NO MORE TIME!
Here we are in a desolate town
All alone, out of law - it's between you and I
The winds blows a chill down the spine of the guilty
Who is guilty? - The man on the run or the man on the hunt?

No sooner that I got here it all ends
He hits the ground, I shot him dead
The shock it worries his top men
trying to chase me out of town
Never trust the well dressed man

Now guns are blazing in the street
I cannot breathe with all this heat
Their two best buddies down
Time to test this ducking town I say
I am the army who's on call
Dropping the tyrants who stand tall
I make them suffer. Pay - Time to take the power back

In the end they fall - running cowards yell
No more running - But I'll always know who the fuck I am
I am the outlaw, look into my eyes
I am the outlaw, there's death upon my mind

3. No Faith

On his knees every single day
Desperation, he begins to pray
A life once lost all he seems to be
Hoping religion will set him free
A broken life, a tortured head
A blackened soul that's completely dead
Choices made, result clear to see
Another waste of humanity

Looking up to the darkness skies
The broken man starts to cry
Ties the noose around his neck
Preparation for his doom
He's looking for some faith
Something to confide in
He's searching for this path - But he can't find it

His last wish was that new found faith
Would take him from torment to another place
A reality that he would never see
Suicide for set him free
A broken life, a tortured head
A blackened soul that's completely dead
One cannot judge another's destiny
This man will never, ever be free

Cutting him down from the swinging rope
His family's eyes they cry again
Thoughts of his depression
Haunting, they are consumed

4. Creature Of Habit

You mean nothing to me
You mean nothing to all
My ear can't hear what you say to me
You stand, I fall - I feel strange
Things don't seem right
Reality, fading away
I'm usually here - But not today

Purple haze - Disassociate
Gone for days - Fuck that - Who's to say?

Creature of habit - Fuck right
Day by day, it doesn't pay
I'm just feeding the addict - Mind split
Night by night I feed my appetite
Self destruction now
There is nothing, all is lost
I'm a creature of habit
Lost somewhere, in the west
This shit make me stronger

Things falling apart - Mind split in change
Too much is never enough - My loss is my gain
I feel sick - Things don't seem right
Sanity slipping away - I can't refuse
'Cause I'd hate to stay

Bloodshot eyes, I cannot see - My blood, my enemy
Outcast society - Victim of empathy

Somewhere I hope to find
A little strength and peace of mind
Reality fades away from me
Am I my only hope?
Drifting father, splitting another
Floating somewhere, across the nerve
Endlessly in search to discover
Trapped inside this shell

Make time to kill time - I'm doing well
All's fine, As far as you can tell
Transfixed. Addict - I need a hit
To wash away this shit - I reap, 'cause I seek
The benefits of this chemical lust - Unjust, blood thirst
Quick to abuse your senseless trust - Hypnotic.
Quixotic - Unstoppable force to unknown strength
Unreal, I yield - My life a distant memory

Hello, can you see me?
Mirror images staring back at me
Do you see what I see?
A shattered life of broken memories
Reach deep within me
Come and fix my split reality
Something is missing
What it is, is still unknown to me

Something is missing - Endless, always
Drifting further round the bend
Mind constantly on the mend
No more the body can defend
Repeat, repeat, repeat again
Fuck you all and nine to five
Open your mind, step inside
Buckle up and let me drive
The only way to feel alive

What it is - Is still unknown
People, places - I've been shown
Help me, help me - Help me please
I'm losing grip on sanity - Walls around me closing in
God forgive me I have sinned
Help me, help me - Help me please
Help me regain sanity

5. Lawbreakers

Lawbreaker - Causing ultimate destruction
Killing in the name of nothing in particular
Crimes is his life - All that is, all that ever was
Taking care of his own - He's the underbelly

Take him down, take him out - Take his rights away
Lock him up, break him down - Take his life away
Let him suffer 'til his dying day
Take a step through the door - its a step away
Break and enter - I'll defend my own
Give me a reason to reply - Defend my home
Give me a reason to defy - This impulse to kill

The doors unlocked - Come inside
Steal from me - You'll surely die
The desperation makes me sick
Stealing from me to get his sick
On the street corner - Selling your life away
Ten years for a buck - Was it worth it?
And you fear nothing 'cause nothing matters to you
Piss your life against the wall
Sitting at home with the wife and baby
When the window crashes in - And this desperate man
Who wants to take my livelihood - And everything else
But I warned him once - It's wasting time

But this country has to be literal - Give them everything
Rent paid for the underbelly
The law should stand firm against the perpetrator
Crimes is his law, but it's me who's in jail
If there's a law, I'll break it - If there's a life, I'll take it
I am the lawbreaker - Defend
I am the lawbreaker - My rights, my home
If there's a law, I'll break it - if there's a life, I'll take it
I am the lawbreaker - I am lawbreaker

So you entered my life - And I took yours away
Now it's me on the run - I'll never be free
A life or retreat each day I live
End of the line, got nothing to give
What's old to you is new to me
A criminal by default all I'll ever be
I took the law in my hands for what I believe
But you entered my house - And you planted the seed

6. Uprise

Citizens you sit and wait
I'll terrify and devastate - You're all fools
And I will use you for my own gain
Tough shit, that's the way it is
Always was and always will be
Terrify - You will stay down there forever

Out of the darkness violence creeps
Stirring up inside - Memories repeat
themselves - Welcome to the uprise

Something isn't right - What I see
I don't believe in - Do as I say, not as I do

Walking through the joyless city - I'm holding
on to what I once had - Got nothing more
Nothing more, that I believe in
Everybody's turned to using
Wishing that they bought some more
Everybody's turned to nothing
Sitting down they wait, for the uprise

Citizen Look at the state of you - I'm not gonna lie
They will use you, they will take you
Do you think that they care for you?
You're just an animal
Their society don't want folk like you

Smoke leads the way - Debt you must repay
Lead a call to arms - Split the mirror strike
Rage fuels this fight - The end is in sight
This is devastation - Mass retardation

Hey, I see your eyes on me
I wonder what you see - I believe that you
Do not, will not. cannot - Respond the truth
You struggle and you fall - You cannot have it all
I see that you - Deny, the lies that you believe

Running further, try to escape
Falling into, what you create
Terminally, falling further
Trying to feel, sense of sanity again
Burning madness - Blinding fires
Shocking movement - Taking its hold
Feel the uprise, feel the reprise

7. Cover Your Tracks

Carelessness has destroyed you
But you don't even know
You anger me, pick at me
Yet I don't do a thing
I'd rather not see those things
That you seem to enjoy
You lost a lot of friends you had
Now I'm no longer there

My once good friend has no idea
What he has done to me
And what he's gonna do to you
He'll play the fool for sympathy
Then throw it in your face
Hate him now, as he won't change
No guilt his man will feel

Why don't he just go away?
Don't you have somewhere to be?
Back among the dirt of society
The place that he fits right inside

Sometimes when I look at him
it's me I see staring back at me
And then I ask him - Why don't you do this to me?
He stands staring - Blind to the world around him
Hate and disappointment

Cover your tracks, cover your tracks
Always look behind your back
Cover your tracks, cover your tracks
'Cause I can take them away

The deeds you've done, Caught up with you
The lies you made, the things you said
It's time to pay your dues
Reflect upon your pointless life
And want to make the change
Do it now, to right you'll bow
It's time that you save face

Run away from the cold truth
Wish you'd never seen the proof
Don't look back or you will see
What it is you don't want to

Some things in life are better kept inside
Someone high, reduced to some thing lower

It seem to me you'll never change
I stare at you and I can hide my inner rage
I wish that you'd do real talk - And downright honesty
A fake you are - you've done too far
Get away from me

8. Sixty-Eight

Going down to the underground
World spinning upside down
Sick of all the city sounds
Eyes of killers all around
Reading in the papers of the sickness in the streets
Feeling ill from vomit, hate and everyone I meet

Why do you react? - When I look at you
Is your brain so small? - That you hate us all

Oh this is good from you
Sitting there with your point of view
It's not my fault I am this way
It's all that shot before this day
You look at me like you know me
You look through me, but you don't know me
I've risked my life for you my friend
And you really couldn't care

I'm gonna tell you a story
You'll sit there and hold my beer
If you try and stop me
I'll make you wish you'd never met me
I'm gonna tell you a story
You'll sit there and hold my beer
Don't even try and stop me
I'll make you wish you'd never met me

When I was locked in jail my old man was sick
And I hoped to get home but he died Alone
Lay in my bed, memories tortured my head
And I lost grip on reality

So what point am I trying to make?
Not quite sure, but it's mine to make
Tired of haters all around
Want to drag them underground
Reporters on the TV, showing violence in the streets
Fuelling further hatred for the people that I meet

I tell you what my friend - My dignity is mine to defend
I have a reason for being this way
It's all that shit before this day

I drink because I have to - It's not because I want to
I live this way 'cause I need to
I wouldn't want it any other way
When I got back from war all my best friends were dead
And the wife left me too and I knew I was through
Left with no home, on the streets all alone
I was falling into obscurity

No war ever made any sense
A plague that takes every cent
We make laws on ways to kill
Our condition will never relent
You see everyone that you love
They walk evento though you won't let them go
Not only do they not understand
They wouldn't go if they had the chance
Destroy you will. Destroy
They can't see you but they drag you down
They come crawling but they take you out
Take your chances then just walk away
You walk alone it isn't what they say
No country wants you; they just look the other way
Come on down, and take a look and see
I want you to see what you could be
Lying beneath you're surrounded in shame
None of them will understand
You got out, you come back
You're always judged, under attack
You think you're safe, until you're home
Where you're ripped into by them all

The time has come for you to go
But let me tell you before you're home
Makes no sense, don't get involved
Futile we murder and kill - No more Sixty-Eight

9. Make Time To Kill Time

Planet of the I'll conceived - language of the dumb
Country socially diseased - Humanity the numb

You stand in line and hope we'll follow
But we never give in
We wanna live in a better tomorrow
And we never give in - This is wrong, never right
Living dead, stand and fight

Time to use time, not to kill time
Time to make those hours count
Time to face the world again
Time to make it ours again

Terminally doomed to fail - United treachery
Turning on the small and weak - it's high hypocrisy

You stand in line and hope we'll follow
But we never give in
We wanna change for a better tomorrow
And we never give in
This is wrong, never right
Living dead, stand and fight
Stand and fight - Make this your time

Kill it before it gets to late - End it

Telling you I'm all out of energy
And I am going nowhere
Telling you I'm all out of energy
And I am going nowhere
When the gap grows ever wider
When the rich start war on the poor
Scapegoat for all your Crimes
You used to fear, not anymore
When you bellies full your eyes are blind
When you have it all - You leave humanity behind
Make time to kill time - Never let them win

Make time to kill time - Make time to kill time

Time has taken a toll on you
Nobody can save you now
It's a death grip - Time to feel alive again
Mortality take you down - Ticking time bomb
No-one really care for you - A walking dollar sing
Good for nothing - Poisoning you inner self
It corroded you away - Never to return

10. Lost Generation

You get nothing in life for free - Not even your civil
Liberty - Trapped inside you're looking out
Sit and watch your life go by
While friends all judge and say you don't try

Try not to look at me - Why don't you just go away?
Try not to feel disgust - Why don't you just give up?

Feel the rage inside of you
'Cause no-one ever listen to you - Call this life?
More like death - The more they'll send
So you stand, get in line - Now you see,
your life is mine- Searching for a purpose
When your purpose is to be no more
This life, fading from a shadow - I am gone

We are the generation - The one's you left behind
We will not be forgotten - We're etched upon your mind
Look to the skies, you see them turning grey
This isn't over, we'll return another day
No-one cares, but you feel ashamed
Your head goes down, You feel not worthy
Further sinking, turning black - You're not part of humanity

You're so far down you're almost dead
Drink to numb the pain - Sickness
You try to hate yourself - Punish, filthy, weak
Rid yourself of dignity - Don't you see it's not your fault?
Don't you see you're one of millions?
Never be a victim to the failures of a generation
This life yours, never be theirs

End the struggle, release you strength - Fight the people
who took you there, Torn between what is right and wrong
It's never going to be fair - War of power we've got to win
Or we face the blackness again - Endless struggle but
it must end - Let it know how much we care

Lost somewhere in some town
Born into his where and when - He feels cheated by face
But where he is he has grown to love - Somewhere in the
west - A man faces his own dark shadow
What it is he does not know - But it draws him closer
A horrible temptation - Somewhere in the west
He steps towards the darkness
All around him the light is fading
Retreating from the violence and degradation

Retreating also from the mans mind - Somewhere in the west - Darkness consumes his thoughts
Drowning all hope and replacing it with unease
What was he drawn to this place? - Somewhere in the west - Sixty-eight time he wanted to run
Another body dumped next to the tracks
Another demon who covered his tracks - Lost somewhere
in some town - He leaves his where and when
Somewhere in the west
