HOLY MOTHER LYRICS

1. Wars

Crashing the skies
It is raining industrial years
Following the rivers of soot
Artificial years
The water is stone
All the animals bone
I'm alive
The sky opens up
Swallows all that is bound inside

Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
An artist is painting
Without any hands
A race of in-humans
They won't understand
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
Stainless steel houses
With black platinum doors
Hide from the killers
The gamblers, the whores

For every bad feeling of hate
If you give up your flag for a life
They'll commit you insane
Bloodbath...a massacre
The five walls of silence
A leader who stands tall

Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
An artist is painting
Without any hands
A race of in-humans
They won't understand
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
Stainless steel houses
With black platinum doors
Hide from the killers
The gamblers, the whores

Wars....wars....wars

Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
An artist is painting
Without any hands
A race of in-humans
They won't understand
Wars!!

2. Electric

You live at night
There's seven ways to make a dollar
When the sun goes down
You try to face another day
You shade the light
And hit the basement wall
You lie aloud
And you're a liar
Lick the ashes from the firefly
Success has always been your collar
Like the dog that bit the poison bait
Twist of fate

Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric love
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love

Shake, shakin' off the warning signs
Doesn't bother you
That you haven't seen a strangers face
Shake, shakin' all the time
You try to right your way to wrong
Because you think it's right
Stay in sight

Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love

I am an only child
A little wiser, a little older now
Electric love...electric love...electric love...electric love...electric, 'lectric love

Stop wasting
All your friends complaining
What they fear from you
They're lonely...they're lonely
All alone
You've always said you're content

Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love

3. Toxic Rain

Obsessed, pleasure and pain
It's the only world I know
Living in toxic rain
And my head is ready to go
My hands are burnin'
The wheels are turnin'
And the butterfly's lickin' the toad
Melting minds will just explode

Toxic rain, another bomb is freezing my head
Toxic rain, another storm is leaving
The thunder is bringing us fear again

The walls have crumbled to sand
Yes, the lines are deep in my hands
Guns and toys of modern man
Self-destruction again
What the hell is wrong with the plan
When my mind is leading
The world is bleeding
And the caretaker's making the bed

Toxic rain, another bomb is freezing my head
Toxic rain, another storm is leaving
The thunder is bringing us fear again

Wars of money try to break me
When I'm broke
Wars of time-delusions of hope
What a joke
When the blind can see
All the criminals free
You've got nothing to lose
You take nothing from me
And my head spins crazy
From the air that I breathe
I can't breathe

Toxic rain, another bomb is freezing my head
Toxic rain, another storm is leaving
The thunder is bringing us fear again

Obsessed, pleasure and pain
It's the only world I know
Living in toxic rain
And my head is ready, my head is ready to blow

Toxic rain...Toxic rain...Toxic rain...Toxic rain

4. The Rats Keep Runnin'

Backstreet runnin'
Through the constantinople
Tokyo's callin'
The rats have broken loose
Sixteen shots
The guns have taken fire
Gotta keep a runnin'
The boys have got the flu

The guns have taken fire
And the boys have got the flu
And they're bringin' the city down.. .down. . .down

Everything's red
The sky is on fire
Don't you feel lucky
You just got the news
The punch clock is gone
The bars have been broken
The walls are comin' down
Make room for the zoo

The guns have taken fire
And the rats have broken loose
They're livin' underground
Make room for the noose

Blew up the city
With a rash of napalm
I'm indestructible
You know my name
Blew up the city
But the rats keep runnin' away

The rich are movin' out
And the rats are taking over
They only show their face in the night
You can't sleep

The flames are getting higher
And the city's a zoo

Blew up the city
With a rash of napalm
I'm indestructible
You know my name
Blew up the city
But the rats keep runnin' away

5. My Destination

Ice in the morning
Melting wilder from the sunlight
Ice in the evening
Freezes traces of the moonlight
You feel a pressure building pleasure
In your own right
But they couldn't repair
And it wouldn't be fair

My destination is.. my destination is alright

You build a fever
Trying not to loose your eyesight
And in the clouds
There is a place you call your own... right
My destination is.. my destination is alright
My destination is.. my destination is alright
Sleep a war away
And wake to breathe the acid rain
But they couldn't repair
And it wouldn't be fair

My destination is.. my destination is alright
My destination is.. my destination is alright
Get it on the left, get it on the right
Get it on the left, you've got to get it right

And under blackened clouds
The doctor waits to call you
And in the waiting room
The nurses start to maul you
But you couldn't repair
And it wouldn't be... fair

My destination is.. my destination is alright
My destination is.. my destination is alright

My destination is.. my destination is alright
My destination is.. my destination is alright
Get it on the left, get it on the right
Get it on the left, you've got to get it right

6. Live To Die

Alone, don't you want to be free
The road that you left me
Has spent all the best part of me
Oh, you lost all your taste
You used up my body
And just left my mind lay to waste

Now it's alright
Let your superstitions hide
It's alright
The way you live to die
It's all my reasons
To leave you tonight

At night, you're waiting for me
Lost in your nightmare
I'm under your pillow to scream
The glass, a broken mirror it seems
Shattering pieces, to ruin your life in your dreams

Now it's alright
Let your superstitions hide
It's alright
The way you live to die
It's all my reasons
To leave you tonight

Ladders are falling
The black cat will call
Waiting to bleed all the rain
The number 13 left you crying again
Tied up in ropes try to break... try to break
Try to break from the chains

Now it's alright
Let your superstitions hide
It's alright, the way you live to die
It's all my reasons
To leave you tonight

7. The River

A quiet night on an endless street
The smell makes me fall to my knees
Desire strikes, I've been dealt by the hand
A tooth for an eye, it's the law of the land

I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky
I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime

I was sent from the sky
I'm destined to die
I'm the bloodline, the river is rolling
Like a train on the tracks, turn your white into black
I'm alive, and the pain, it is showing

I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky
I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime

The river, oh, the river
It's flowing through my veins
The river

A fight's a fight, it's your last meal
The bulls have returned to the cage
Dust in my eyes, the sweat from the rays
My conscious will lead me, my mind it deceived me

I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky
I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime

The river, oh, the river
It slowly brings you down
The river

8. You've Got Another Thing Comin'

[This is Holy Mother's cover version of the Judas Priest classic]

9. Symptom Of Withdrawal

Silver streamers fly across the sky
A rainbow of diamonds, piercing colors to the eye
Snakes that slither, make me shiver.. .why
A golden dust has stole my lust for fighting with the king

Potent wines, delusions cyst my brain
Sanity discolors all that's normal when I'm sane
The blackest black, a fear to close my eyes
To conquer deepest feelings, drawing colors from the skies

I don't remember, addiction.. .alone
I'll fly a pendant of truce as a victory call
To run forever, I hide behind the wall
Hide my symptoms of withdrawal

Subliminally twisted are the minds
They always seem so normal in the incandescent light
An acid wash to wash away the stain
Poison fills the cavities that rot away my brain

I don't remember addiction...alone
I'll fly a pendant of truce as a victory call
You run forever, I hide behind the wall
Hide my symptoms of withdrawal

I don't remember, anything at all
Hide my symptoms, I withdraw...I withdraw...I withdraw

10. Melting Pot

Holding on, you left me when my brother took my throne
Stripped me of my shield to die alone
My horse is left, my only friend
We'll pound the streets with bloody heels
Return tonight to battle for my home

Steel...my guns of steel are rusting rot
Mind...my mind is in the melting pot

Holy wars of rhyme and reason, watch the money flow
Building bombs of tears, a country grows
Endless cries, a soldier dies
Another war in time
Power, reaches power, in your mind

Steel...my guns of steel are rusting rot
Mind...my mind is in the, burning in the rot

Steel...my guns of steel are rusting rot
Mind...my mind is in
My mind is in
My mind is in the melting, melting pot
Hey, the light seems to light up the sky
One seems to just wonder why
The world will regret, it's a lie

Holding on, you left me when my brother took my throne
Stripped me of my shield to die alone

Steel.. my guns of steel are rusting rot
Mind...my mind is in the melting pot

11. Losing My Bet

In the dark I'm lying low
In the bed of solid gold
In the field of smoke and stone
Angels come to save my soul

Brothers race to stop the guns
Untie the chain that locks my world

Oh, I'm losing my bet
Yea, the angels are steering my 'Vette tonight

Broken road and smogging rain
My steering wheel I've lost again
Time to fly, another road
Time to let my mind control

Oh, I'm losing my bet
Yea, the angels are steering my...
Oh my god, I'm trying, don't know if I've been lying
Oh, I'm gonna fly

In the dark I'm lying low
In the bed of solid gold
In the field of smoke and stone

Oh, I'm losing my bet
Yea, the angels are steering my.. .
Oh my god I'm trying, don't know if I've been lying
Oh, I'm gonna fly

Brothers race to stop the guns
Untie the chain that locks my world

Oh, I'm gonna fly
