THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE LYRICS

1. As The World Turns Over

One step in the wrong direction
Face down in the dirt
You'll never know
You'll never change
You'll never grow
So run in place as the world turns over
Coward mind chameleon skin
A walking cancer singing soulless hymns
Speak of the devil I think we're alone
No we're never alone
As a matter of fact
This is the price you pay
So pay up
And it's never enough
And you'll never see
It's not in you
I's not inside of me
Is that comforting?
Shout out to the life you lead
Superstition can't answer your sins
Afraid to move
Follow the rules
Who are you trying to fool?
One step in the wrong direction
Face down in the dirt
You'll never know
You'll never change
You'll never grow
So run in place as the world turns over
The doubt in you exists
No way of faking it
Nothing to prove
Convinced of the truth
What's left to do ?
Nothing to prove
What's left of you?
One step in the wrong direction
Face down in the dirt
You'll never know
You'll never change
You'll never grow
So run in place as the world turns over

2. The Box

Think outside the box
Then burn it and smile while the wind blows the ashes off
Towards the ideas that have been locked away
They’ve been waiting to come out and play your whole life

That’s all she wrote
There’s no turning back now
A thinking man is never a slave
Fire and brimstone will be held over your head
Refuse to fall to your knees like the rest

Your eyes start to shine!
I know you feel it now!
Everything changes when the shackles break
Tell the others
Pass it on
Lead the way
Don’t let them kill the world with the threat of a shallow grave

Turn this world
Upside down

A thinking man is never a slave

Don’t let them kill the world with the threat of a shallow grave
A thinking man is never a slave

Fire and brimstone will be held over your head
Refuse to fall to your knees like the rest

Think outside the box
Then burn it and smile while the wind blows the ashes off
Towards the ideas that have been locked away
They’ve been waiting to come out and play your whole life

Turn this world
Upside down
Refuse to fall to your knees like the rest

3. North Of Corpus

Shadows form into hands and dance like scissors across the top of the van
Intoxicated by the fever that builds and the hospital pill
I am free of this world

North of Corpus five inches from the Sun
Spilling out at both ends
Feeling like a dead man

I spent the day
Painting all the pavement
With pink and scum

Daydreaming that
My Father is breathing
Count to ten then run

First thing I’ll do is scribble out the Sun
Cut the ceiling let it spill its guts
Can’t stop these visions they come to me
Let me tell you what I see

I King Kong up the church steeple
Scream at the top of my lungs and wave guns at the wrong people
All you plastic pieces of shit
Can sit on my middle finger and spin

The heat’s starting to get to me
As the van slithers across the sand
When they’re gone well they’re gone and they ain’t comin back
You can count on that

Shadows form into hands and dance like scissors across the top of the van
Intoxicated by the fever that builds and the hospital pill
I am free of this world

Hallucinations quicken
Unending crucifixion
Crown of sickness
Radiate my illness

First thing I’ll do is scribble out the sun
Cut the ceiling let it spill its guts
Can’t stop these visions they come to me
Let me tell you what I see

I am free of this world

Hallucinations quicken
Unending crucifixion
Crown of sickness
Radiate my illness

4. Meant To Be Free

First thought of the day
Has become the only one
I can't complain
But I feel like their is no escape
No
I haven't forgot
I've yet to convince myself that it's lost
Shape up
Ship out as fast as you can
There will never be a second chance
Relive the moment
Stuck in the omen
Save your excuses
Run
With entertainment
Make it a statement
Beyond comparison
There will never be a second chance
Never again
You're nothing to me
I never gave a fuck in the first place
Something in my chest rips open
Inner peace is finally broken
Free
Like its meant to be
Complete waste
Have no faith
Retribution
Is condemned by the influence
There will never be a second chance
Never again

5. Guillotine Queen

She couldn't have me
So she took you
She'll never have what we have
Guillotine Queen
Isn't the girl of your dreams
She's the culmination of all abominations
Seduces everything she can
Manipulates just to win
The saddest excuse I've ever seen called a person
She doesn't understand what you see in me
She can't feel love so she'll ruin me
Well you think she's a friend?
Try guessing again
If you only knew what went on behind your back
She couldn't have me
So she took you
She couldn't have what we had
So she hooked you
Guillotine Queen
A nightmare
Guillotine Queen
Isn't the girl of your dreams
She's the culmination of all abominations
Seduces everything she can
Manipulates just to win
The saddest excuse I've ever seen called a person

6. Pain Is Pleasure

I've made my mind up
I want to do this forever
My guilty pleasure
I've made my mind up
I'm keeping you for good
My slave
Do whatever I say
We're famous inside this room
Silver screen
Sick celebrities
Sado Maso
Pain is pleasure
King and queen
Suffocated screams
Sado Maso
Pain is pleasure
I've made my mind up
Keeping you for good
Forever famous
In our own world
Silver screen
Sick celebrities
Sado Maso
Pain is pleasure
King and queen
Suffocated screams
Sado Maso
Pain is pleasure
The safe word is forgotten
Find pleasure only through pain
Inside this room
We can be famous forever
Famous forever
I've made my mind up
I want to do this forever
My guilty pleasure
I've made my mind up
We can do this forever
Pain is our pleasure

7. Ballad Of The Butcher

This is the ballad of the butcher

Please stop me before I kill again
All that bloodshed and snapped necks
Roll around inside of my head

The evil that lives within me
It spreads without my consent
A landlord of sadistic intent

Every day I hunt for the next one
For the perfect picture that I can hang on my wall

These paths crossed for a reason
A reason above my head and unluckily for them
I'm a monster
Tied up in the truck bed
I wonder if they wonder
How they had no idea what I really wanted

The man who smiled
A man of surrender
Could be the same one that is putting them under
I hate it
What my body and mind craves
Why was I made this way?

John the Butcher
Watches you when you move
John the Butcher
Waits for you in your room

[2x]
I'll cut you loose so I can hunt you
Run you down and then I'll catch you
Laugh in the night as you fall to your knees
Exploit all your hopes, dreams and memories

John the Butcher
Watches you when you move
John the Butcher
Waits for you in your room

I can't let you go now
You've seen my other side
I am John the Butcher
This is goodbye

The evil that lives within me
Spreads without my consent
The evil that lives within me
A landlord of sadistic intent
It's not my fault

8. Sacrifice (The Prince)

Hollow victories
For a broken man
A shattered purpose
What second chance?
I feel like Judas kissed me
Like nothing's right
Doomed to suffer
For the rest of my life
Rip my eyes out now
Be careful what you wish for
You might just get it
I wanted the worst
And now I got it
I wanted it all
Well now I lost it
I wanted the worst well I've become it
Funeral home was my throne
Staring contest with death and the grim reaper
Picture of the lord over the door
Remember you can't afford to be a bad boy
Well I was and I am
The prince of pain
Sin is my middle name
What's the point?
Who fucking cares
The dirt under your nails
The man you love to hate
I am a dead end
Around each corner and within each word
Why were my wings cut?
Bankrupt of all worth
Send me to the heavens
So I can jump headfirst
Into the womb of the earth
Let this unending hurt
Break all binds
Annihilate my mind
There's no light
There's no tunnel
There's nothing at all
From the moment I first opened my eyes
I have been marked for sacrifice
I am the prince of pain
Drowning in darkness
From the moment I first opened my eyes
My body swells as I suffocate and fall back down again
Back down again
Why were my wings cut?
Hollow victories
For a broken man
A shattered purpose
What second chance?

9. Changing Forms

Changing forms i sense the anger
Aroused by violent thoughts, i start to tease the trigger.
All the bullshit is swept aside.
I told you I'd catch up with you. I'm judge and jury and its eye for an eye.
Fuck
Different story, different names,
But the ending's always the same.
Spinning in circles watching my back. Around you gutless vultures
Trust me I'm over it
Just under the weather. Thunder it. shakin' walls down thumpin' em
More fucked up and hated than ever I'm like twenty tons of dynamite that's ready to blow.
One foot in the grave. I'm ready to go and put this all behind me.
One foot in the grave. I'm ready to go and put this all behind me.
One foot in the grave.
Don't ever forgive
Don't ever forget
One foot in the grave.
Now off with his head.
Save the excuses. Keep the names
But this time it wont end the same.
I'll spit in the face of letting go
And being the better person
Oh trust me I'm over it. Just under the weather. Thunder it. Shakin' walls down thumpin' em.
More fucked up and hated than ever
I'm like twenty tons of dynamite that's ready to blow
One foot in the grave. I'm ready to go and put this all behind me.
One foot in the grave. I'm ready to go and put this all behind me.
One foot in the grave.
Don't ever forgive
Don't ever forget
One foot in the grave.
Now off with his head.
All the bullshit
Is swept aside
Changing forms i sense the anger
I'm judge and jury and its eye for an eye.
Eye for an eye.
One foot in the grave.
One foot in the grave.
Now off with his head.

10. Heavy Headed

I've built up a wall now I can't see around it
I've hurt the closest to me like it didn't even matter at all
The highest highs never cover the lowest lows
You'll never find comfort in things as empty as your soul
I'm drowning
There's no doubt about it
No way around it
Sunrise to sunset I'm hounded
Another walk back
From the bar with the stars
Saying tomorrow will be different
They always told me whiskey was the work of the devil
And I've seen it first hand
But why do I feel closer to god now when I'm sent
I've built up a wall now I can't see around it
I've hurt the closest to me like it didn't even matter at all
The highest highs never cover the lowest lows
You'll never find comfort in things as empty as your soul
Friend of the devil
But closer to god
When I'm heavy handed

11. Junkie

I must write!
I've seen some truly terrible things tonight
Pen goes to paper and I feel like a god
You know more about me then I'll ever know about you
Lust for affliction
Junkies of wicked art
Head on collision
Felt the kingdom fall
Hot metal leaves craters in the snow
Checking all the papers I need to know
I saved a seat for you
Just in time for the show
It's disgusting and demented you'll like how it goes
We love to watch
We won't look away
Addicted to the pain
I must write!
I've seen some truly terrible things tonight
Pen goes to paper and I feel like a god
You know more about me then I'll ever know about you
Lust for affliction
Junkies of wicked art
Head on collision
Felt the kingdom fall
Hot metal leaves craters in the snow
Checking all the papers I need to know
Is this what it's like to be a god?
We are faded paintings in the gallery

12. The Dream Is Dead

The dream is dead
They took it out back and put a fucking bullet in its head
The dream is dead motherfucker
Dead
Do you believe it?
Dead
Fill it up pump it full of lead
Who do you think should be held responsible?
Everyone screams
Material prisoners
All for one and none for all
Everyone's a contributor
Do it yourself finish it off
Material prisoners
Surrendered
Remember
We can no longer have the dream
Dead
Do you believe it?
Dead
Fill it up pump it full of lead
The dream is dead
They took it out back and put a fucking bullet in its head
The dream is dead motherfucker
The dream is dead
The dream is dead
The dream is dead motherfucker
DEAD
