CANCER BATS LYRICS

1. R.A.T.S.

Rats! Turncoats and dead end friends
Self-centres and traitors
That will just try to break you and leave you
Rats! Cold fakes black hearts
Shit talkers that have no end
Low-lifer and haters
On a cycle to nowhere who don't care

There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for the shit you've done

Rats! I'm sick and tired of getting fucked with
Nobodies lacing examples
So never think it's just you
Because it's us too

Rats! Never quit never change
World over they're all the same
We're unified in our hatred
That is the reason I wrote this

There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for the shit you've done
There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for every filthy rat

I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down the days 'til every rat has burned
I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down 'til every rat has burned in hell

There's a special place in hell for motherfuckers like you
There's a special place in hell for every filthy rat

2. Bricks And Mortar

Pain is like my driver, driving me insane
I'm screaming out
Help me carry this burden
Pressure all around that tries to drag us to the deep
Grief like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar

Nailing shut my coffin, coughing in the rain
I'm screaming out
Help me shoulder this tombstone
Searching to defeat the many things that keep us weak
Greif like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar
Help save me from the cold

You can tear away my flesh
You can crush all my bones
But you will never take my soul

Broken like an arrow, arrow in my leg
I'm screaming for someone to shoulder this burden
Strengthen up our grip against the changing of the tide
Grief like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar
Help save me from the cold
Take this halo

I dream of bricks and mortar
Salvation for my soul
I dream of bricks and mortar
Help save me from the cold

3. Road Sick

Gave birth on the day of the beast
Got swept away by the days and the weeks
Rode hard 'til my hands hurt
The things that we do just make it work
Been saved by the kind souls
Richer than diamonds and gold

Don't lose hope, I'll be back home before you even know it
Don't lose hope, I've said it before but I'm always gonna mean it

This wasn't the life that I planned
I'm road sick, sick so road sick
But I'm trying the best that I can
I'm road sick, sick

Didn't land in this by mistake
Got lucky off the risks we'd take
Times had when I look back
The madness of minds on a single track
Still busting our hands and coughing blood
Couldn't stop if we could

Don't lose hope, I'll be back home before you even know it
Don't lose hope, I've said it before but I'm always gonna mean it

This wasn't the life that I planned
I'm road sick, sick so road sick
But I'm trying the best that I can
I'm road sick, sick

Oh and I know, what I've put you through
The stress that you've had
Patience is a virtue

Don't lose hope, I'll be back home before you even know it
Heard it said 1000 times before
Sure you're gonna hear it 1000 times more
And I don't know when this shits gonna end
But I know there's a light at the end of this tunnel
So don't lose hope and don't quit on me
'Cause you're the bright light and all that I need

This wasn't the life that I planned
I'm road sick, sick so road sick
But I'm trying the best that I can
I'm road sick, sick [x2]

4. Breathe Armageddon

I've seen the eyes of the haunted
I've seen them run in the night
I've seen them cast in the shadows
I've seen it cut like a knife
All the mind see's corrupted by greed
As the world burns
Yeah with the stakes high
You get your cut of it
Ashes to ashes, ending all truth
No one survives

I've seen the hands of the hunter
I've seen them march to the right
Polluted with pride, changing of tides
As the world burns
Yeah with the stakes high
You get your cut of it
Highest of places, lowest of lows
No one survives

The fear, the light, the death
I am the son of the atom
The war, the sun, the hate
I am the nuclear winter
The fear, the light, the death
I am the son of the atom
The war, the sun, the hate
I'm breathing Armageddon

I tried to break from the cycle
I tried my best to decide
Ask the right questions see through the lies
As the world burns

Everything we know. Always been a lie

Yeah with the stakes high you get your cut of it
Cold hard facts absolute truths no one survives
Yeah let the fake shine there's no surviving it
Nothing to believe, nothing to perceive
As the world burns

5. Dead Set On Living

Hard drinks and nicotine
Chase that with Benzedrine
The toxic parties pumping
Through my brain and out my spleen

Gimme poison put the inside of me
I need that quick explosion
Keep me going make me feel
I will never forget

Rage 'til the break of dawn
Won't stop until it's gone
There never was a problem
Nothing's broken nothing’s wrong

Gimme poison put it inside me
There's nothing like forgetting
Can't contain me set me free
I will never forget

The day the doctor told me son, you're gonna die
If you continue to live like this
You've got another year at best

15 years is a hard habit to quit

Cocaine and cigarettes
Stacked up with all the stress
Now mix with tons of boozing
In excess oh what a mess

Gimme poison that shit was killing me
All this for cheap excitement
Float my coffin out to sea

The day the doctor told me son you're gonna die
I decided then and there to get
Dead set on living

6. The Void

Question upon me
Sixty days away
Miles from perfect
Sixty days away
I don't know why
Must be broken

As we enter the void
Absolution waits for me
Cold hands of time
Closing round my neck
I need a new perspective
What we never had, what will never be
Flashing in my head
When I sleep at night, as I try my best
You ask me what I think
I think about survival

On the ocean floor
Dark as night. So alone
Forgot I was drowning

We've become obsolete
The great shift waits for me
Rough sands of time
Swallow me up whole
I need a new perspective
What we never had, what will never be
What does that even mean?
I can't sleep at night, I'm not at my best
You ask me what I think
I think about survival

On the ocean floor
Dark as night. So alone
Forgot I was drowning

7. Old Blood

Smoke cleared I never feared
Just rolling low decisions
Don't let your focus waiver
Just be a dedicator
Make you mind like a dagger to slit the throats of haters

That's why I gotta keep on climbing

Take time, get out of line
Don't get so complicated
Don't fall on superstition
Or blame that malnutrition
Just make your heart like a hatchet to crack the competition

This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it until the day I die
This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it, ride it, ride it

That's why I gotta keep on climbing x2
Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there
Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there

Never faded, I got this old blood
Pumping through my veins
Never faded, I got this old blood

This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it hard 'til the day I die
(one, two, three, four)
This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it, until the day I die
This life is mine for the taking
And I'ma ride it, ride it, ride it

That's why I gotta keep climbing x2
'Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there
Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there
Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it there
Cause life is just what you make it
So keep on riding and riding until you make it yours

8. Drunken Physics

Let the hadrons collide!
Chaos boils down to a theory
Of the random acts that take place
Not aligned not inclined to the prediction
'Cause I know that even asteroids can burn

Yeah lay the blame as you will
But there's forces far beyond nature
That law, that draw called gravity
Don't even get me started on light

Divided we fall apart, there's safety in numbers
Put my faith in the stars, in the cosmos

Action conducts a reaction
Every blackhole starts from a star
They shatter that matter goes 2D
Ah I think I need to re-read that part

Yeah that night on the highway
When we both saw the hadron collider
I swear right there our minds were blown
I didn't even know what it was

Been space invaded, had that mother blow my mind
Been space invaded, it happens to me every time

There's eleven dimensions
In a brief history of time
Blackholes aint so black
Past, present and futures collide
There's eleven dimensions
In our brief history of time
Elementary particles
Let all the uncertainties ride

Let the hadrons collide!

9. Bastards

Cursed, we all bear the mark
Headstrong, 'till the bitter end
The deadly course, bound to this track
We've all had our doubts, every doubt alive
Strayed from the light
Strayed from the light to the dark
Strayed from the light to the darkness
If it's gonna burn then we all turn to dust

Bastards! Headstrong and cursed
Bastards! The unwanted will unite

Convictions, but never alone
Taking chances, carried flesh and bone
Not a day goes by, with every doubt alive
Strayed from the light
Strayed from the light to the dark
Strayed from the light to the darkness
If it's gonna burn then we all turn to dust

Bastards! Headstrong and cursed
Bastards! The unwanted will unite

For every hawk there is a dagger
For every choice that's been made
Repercussions that never mattered
Felt scorn, debts been paid
Never learn, never will too far gone
Never learn, never thought we'd get this far gone

This will of mine
Set like an iron, like an iron spike
This will of mine, will be the death of me

Bastards! Headstrong and cursed
Bastards! The unwanted will unite

10. Rally The Wicked

That bullshit you're talking
Just falls onto deaf ears
The vibe can't fuck with our vibe
Warning the doubtful
That nothing gonna break our stride
Oh nothing at all

Rally the wicked we're charging full speed ahead

Stronger than ever that nonsense just falls away
The vibe can't fuck with our vibe
Foolish to argue you're soon gonna realize
Oh you're gonna recognize

Rally the wicked we're storming the tower
Rally the wicked we're charging full speed ahead

Now were coming like a freight train
All aboard cause 'oh my lord
This momentum aint close to stopping
Like a monolith burning through octane
So double back on every word you spit
'Cause here and now's the time that you'll regret it all
Words of thunder like a tomahawk in your ear
Loud and clear

Triumph our anthem and deafening our only tone
The vibe can't fuck with our vibe
The vide can't fuck with our vibe
Wreckless abandon so thankful
We don't stand alone
Oh surrounded by brothers

Rally the wicked we're charging full speed ahead
Rally the wicked we're storming the tower
Rally the wicked we're charging full speed ahead

11. New World Alliance

Bang your head this is the new alliance
Our own laws is what we're living by
Distort all lines, live by your own desire
Our own guide for our own morals

Hopeless now ends, new world alliance

Bang your head this is the great upheaval
Time has come for us to make a change
Instill new ties, we'll forge a separate way
Our own guide for our own morals

Hopeless now ends new world alliance
Open your eyes, invert your mind
Reject the cast we are our own masters
Reject it all we are our own masters

Hopeless now ends, new world alliance
Open your eyes, invert your mind
Reject the cast we are our own masters
Reject it all we are our own masters

I don't believe from this day forward
I don't believe
Reject it all we are our own masters
