NEWSTED LYRICS

1. Soldierhead

Bombs go off around me
Bullets chase my head
Demonscene hellscape
Try to not get dead

From the cradle I was in
Straight for the firing line
By the teeth of my skin
Dragon and the serpent versus swine

Never quite ready
It just becomes your turn
Evertight steady
No more light to burn

A lie has no feet
Cannot stand alone
A cry in the street
Who cast the first stone

With dirt between my teeth
I made the devil sell his soul
I know that he can bleed
Moon goes dark sun grows cold

Where my mind would take me
Never coming near
Scared my heart would break me
Why am I here

2. Godsnake

Say god came down as a snake
How long do you think it would take
'Til someone cut off his head
And left him lying for dead
took his skin for their boots
And cook his flesh for their soup
His spine a necklace to fight
Shake rattle dance all night

Say the devil came as a child
One who always smiles
How long would we stand by
Young one that never cried

Read to see don't judge this book
I need to be uncover for a closer look
No time for apology rename reality
First glance seems to be
The wrong way for you to judge me

Say the devil came as a child
Free and running wild
Demon eyes casting a spell
Charming all the way to hell

Read to see don't judge this book
I need to be uncover for a closer look
(discover with a closer look, now)
No time for apology rename reality
First glance seems to be
The wrong way for you to judge me

Say the devil came as a child
Innocent and running wild
Demon eyes casting a spell
Charming all the way to hell

Knowing nothing - believing anything
Forgetting everything - I want to stand for something
For God's sake

3. King Of The Underdogs

Pick up the pieces that the puzzle made
From scraps of dreams out of focus and frayed
Make up the reasons for the words that were said
From scraps of dreams that trap the screams

Take my place leading the pack
Back down from my razorback
I dig deeper to bury and find the track

Runny into the unknown
Lonely yet I'm not alone
I keep looking to grind a stone

I am the king - Underdogs rise
I am the king - From the flames
I am the king - Underdogs prize

I am the king of the underdogs
You know that's my name

Sworn to fun discovery
I still dream imagining
Beyond the edge recovering

Underdogs rise from the flame
Feel the sound feet to ground
Hellhound unchained

4. Skyscraper

In the darkness I can hear them
Writhing scratching dig and scrape
This is the mauling of the universe
What will it cost to escape

No war is good - No war is holy

In the starkness I won't fear them
As the sky begins to break
All the powers of the universe
There's no end to what they'll take

No war is good - No war is holy

Yes the Giant chokes in the mud
Ash in the street soaks up the blood
Disappears and never was
World standing just as it does

As the Giant chokes in the mud
Ash in the street soaks up the blood
Disappears and never was
World spinning and spinning, beginning again

Ride out the storm, block out the sun
Beacon glow shine ray of light
A new plane of insane dimension
Alive in the day and still at night

No war is good - No war is holy
I can't take no more - No war
