VICIOUS RUMORS LYRICS

1. On The Edge

Pounding their way through your head see it all in your eyes
Reflections of overindulgence you're barely alive
Washing away in a swirling mass of confusion you're going to break!

On the edge
Living faster you live
On the edge!

Time after time anytime anyplace.. just don't care
Headstrong and blind plunging headlong no mind, unaware.
Head to the floor, face in the mud
Watch as you turn into ice!

On the edge
Because you do it so well
On the edge!

[Lead]

Now that your eyes hove been opened to what lies ahead
Don't be a loser, abuser, you may wind up dead!
Up off your ass!!! Take control 'cause the key to your destiny lies
within you!

On the edge
Living faster you live..
On the edge...!!!

Into the pit
down the hatch
Sinking fast
Can't get back
No way out
For you now
What the hell
Will you do

2. Abandoned

I'm waiting around 'cause I haven't got paid yet
I'm banging my head on the side of the pavement
You're turning this into some kind of freak show
You gotta stop, I'm still waiting

Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again

You're flying your colors for all to see
You're fooling you're friends but you ain't fooling me, no
You closed the door and shut me out
What the hell ya' think I'm talking about?

Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned so what?
Knife in my gut
No love is lost
Out if the grey, just go away

I've heard it all, enough of your bullshit
About your mouth, it's time you closed it
You've burned all your bridges, there's nobody left

Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I thought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again

3. No Fate

All I am, all I feel
All of this isn't real
Destiny questioning
Look at this life, look at your life, look at me

I don't believe in fate
I don't believe I was born too late
Yeah, I believe in destiny
As long as I can choose the one for me - yeah

Countless nights, endless roads
None of these, etched in stone
Free to choose, free to be, free to wander endlessly

I don't believe in fate
I don't believe I was born too late
Yeah, I believe in destiny
As long as I can choose the one for me

I don't believe in fate
I live my life, don't hesitate
I don't believe in heaven sent
I don't believe

I don't believe in fate
I don't believe I was born too late
Yeah - I believe in destiny
As long as I can choose the one for me

I don't believe in fate
I want to set the record straight
I believe in who I am

4. Ministry Of Fear

After God and after taxes
The puppets who betray the masses
Reanimate the commonwealth
Inner structure in bad health

Like a beast locked in a cage
Manipulation time again
In their sleep they're never more sincere

Together we will reign
With everything to gain

Chorus
In this ministry of fear
Retribution is here...right here

Segregation - people cry
While racist hate is on the rise
So you're looking to the church
Something for a world of hurt

They nail your money to the cross
Writing off a corporate loss
In their sleep they're never more sincere

Together we will reign
With everything to gain

Chorus
In this ministry of fear
Retribution is here...right here
Together we will reign
With everything to gain
Life's a little strange

5. Digital Dictator

He travels through the skies
With Technicolor lights
Terminating life in air
Traffic regulation
That snatch you against the pipe
A hundred others watch his rage
Well it's a fight

[*]
Sign of the times
Or so we're told
Let it unwind
Programming minds
He's ruling with false control
Digital Dictator
He's ruling with false control

Round and round we go
The cycle never ends
One or two at a time
Come closer ......
Call to apart
The circuit's on the blink
Going through the night
He'll never leave he's weak

[* Repeat]

Just the most incredible
He's always played to win
.........Training on destruction
He'd blow his men
Ultimate shooter
Perfection in sight
Master in affliction with terror
In the sky

[* Repeat]

Digital Dictator
Digital Dictator

6. Against The Grain

It's really been a pleasure to be such a pain
Oh, like a nasty stain that won't go away
I won't go away
Don't care what you say
Doin' things my way

I've got the hammer to nail you back into your box
I-I'm here to stay
I've got the power to stand up and take what I want

Are we all insane - Hate for hatred's sake
I choose to break away - Runnin' against the grain

I put the puzzle together and I slice my own pie
You know some won't like it - but to me that's just fine
Out of my way I don't want to play
Do you hear what I say
I don't want to play

I've got the pressure to back you right up to the wall
And you - do you hear what I say
This is the hour I welcome you all to the ball

Are we all insane - Hate for hatred's sake
I choose to break away - runnin' against the ... grain

Are we all insane - hate for hatred's sake
I choose... I choose to break away

7. The Voice

Seven years are gone behind me
(Seven years are gone)
A flash before my eyes
(Before my eyes)
The truth revealed is everlasting
(The truth revealed is ever here)
And so are you and I
(So are) you and I

Listening to the wind, Feel the beat of your heart
Hear a voice within, it's singing, Ahh, Ahh...
Passion love and fear, and the will to survive
It's all that brings you here
And keeps you soul alive

Dreamin' of a new horizon,
(Dreamin' on and on)
Movin' with the tide
(Got to keep on movin')
There before you lie the answers
(Answers to the questions)
To the questions in your mind

Race across the land, with your fist in the air
Hearing the voice again, it's screamin' - Ahh, Ahh...
What you believe is real, Oh like you flesh and blood
In time you start to feel, just like you knew you would

Through it all you will find, unity and peace of mind
Now's the time, the time is now
Life is short, so live it well
Through it all you give and take, never give yourself away
Keep the faith and don't let go - don't let go

Listening to the wind, feel the beat of your heart
Hear the voice again, it's screaming - Ahh, Ahh...

Passion love and fear, and the will to survive
It's all that brings you here
And keeps your soul alive
Hear a voice again
Hear a voice, it's screamin' - Ahh, Ahh...

8. Hell Razor

I'm feeling razor sharp riding on the cutting edge.
I'm going back and forth raging like a lunatic
I'm going to do things like never before
Take the key and open the door

Break the rules my will is my way
Light my fuse I'm coming back for more
Take the life that runs in your veins and flow!

Don't look back. or you'll fall
Don't slow down... no not at all...

Hellraiser
Look in his eyes
Hellraiser
Don't be surprised!

I'm feeling energized tantalized electrified
I'm going to find a way; live it up and take what's mine.
And if I have to abuse and destroy
it's OK that's most of the joy!

Break the rules my will is my way
Light my fuse I'm coming back for more.
Take the life that runs in your veins and flow

Don't look back... or you'll fall
Don't slow down no not at all

Hellraiser
Look in his eyes
Hellraiser
Don't be surprised!

[Lead]

Last night, strapped in never to return
Lost my breath around that last turn
All that power rushing straight to my head....!

Don't look back.. or you'll fall
Don't slow down... no not at all!!!!

Hellraiser
Look in his eyes
Hellraiser
Don t be surprised

Hellraiser can't find your way back
Hellraiser it's time to attack

9. Thunder & Rain (Part I)

Pins and needles won't soften the ice
Freezer burn, a needless sacrifice
Lost a piece of myself last night
I'm older now with blackened eyes

Between thunder and rain
I hear your name
Between thunder and rain
I see your face

It's cold outside, my insides colder still
Mentally crucified, a broken will
Drowning in life, it's so deep
The time has come, to sleep

Between thunder and rain
I close my eyes
Between thunder and rain
I see your face

10. Thunder & Rain (Part II)

Winter is falling, chill's in the air
Angel is calling a spirit somewhere
Memories that bind me, the tears never end

You've taken my brother, you've taken my friend
Taken my only friend

I know the clouds will be clearing away
The seasons will save me from thunder and rain

Loneliness cuts through my veins like a knife
This tortured soul so empty inside
Am I the victim or am I a slave
All these emotions, searching I pray

Now that the clouds have all cleared away
Time will continue, so will the thunder and rain.

11. Worlds & Machines

Everytime I turn around
Someone tries to bring me down
Spinning in a whirlpool
Competition over rules again

Intelligence and arrogance
Free the fire of righteousness
Attitude and sacrifice
Change inside ain't no time, wait

One more vulgar wrote the story
Stops to watch my heart
Catch me if you can

The power that's in front of me
The masters of technology
They fought them in a slaughterhouse
Is all we need to know

They civilize antagonize
Good enough to satisfy
All the needs all the lusts
All the dough

Laugh of a line
Try to decide but we don't
The chips are down
But the prices are up
So we're told
It's the times that I feel
Like I'm losing all control

Back to the worlds and machines
Is where we go
That's the place where we go
Twisting and turning are dreams to the top
Pictures of change and it never stops
Back to the worlds and machines

Acting on the silver screen
Killers everywhere are seen
Going in the streets at night
Taking on the world tonight

Repression is a state of mind
That could explode at anytime
Systems kick in over ride
Look out, missiles fly
Try a why

Sign of the times
Where do we go from here
Future destroyed
No wonder we don't share
Will we live
Will we live to grow old

Back to worlds and machines
Is where we go
That's the place where we go
Back to the worlds and machines we go
Down through the back is where we know
Back to the worlds and machines

Go
That's the place where we go
Go
Twisting and turning are dreams to the top
Pictures of change and it never stops
Back to the worlds and machines

12. Thinking Of You

Been fourteen weeks since I've seen you
I never wondered, but I always knew
You seem to thrive on this macabre situation
Run at the signs of a real confrontation

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Thinking of you

Justice for some is a high price to pay
There you remain in your self appointed cage
Now that you slept in your own bed of nails
Cry all along realizing that you failed - Ooh

Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Thinking of you - Ohh

Nothing can save you, there is no escape
Crushed by the power of concentrated hate
(Ahh Ahh)Thinking of you
(Ahh) - Thinking of you - Yeah...

13. Down To The Temple

Running the distance
Alive for the last time

Press on without question... without fear.. oh..
Give to the moon-give to the sun
We're going

Down.. down.. down...
Down to the temple
Don't you know we're going down.. down.. down...
Down to the temple...

Down to the top see the king
Other men of the cloth in a frenzy
Scale the steps to forever
Blood and body racing... oh..

Give to the moon give to the sun
We're going..

Down... down.. down..
Down to the temple
Oh we're going down.. down... down...
Down to the temple.. Clutch the bleeding heart!

[Lead]

Now I know without fear
The end is near

Give to the moon-give to the sun
We're going down.. down.. down..
Down to the temple

Oh ohh we're going down... down.. down..
Down to the temple
Clutch the bleeding heart

14. Don't Wait For Me

It's time we had a talk.
Yeah let's get something straight
No it won't take long, but it's getting very late
Don't put me off, you know I'll cut you down
Ohh... that's right

All night long.. doin' what we've got to do.
Well so long... but you know... I'm comin' after you

Don't wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't... don't... don't wait for me 'cause I'll be on your tail
Don't..don't wait for me, don't you wait for me.. no no!!

I've been down... many times before
I've been around, seen it all and maybe more
But now I'm up...and gettin' higher yeah
Let's break the chains that's right

All night long... doin' what we've got to do, yeah
Well so long but you know I'm comin' after you!

Don't wait for me
Don't you wait for me
Don't.. don't...don't wait for me 'cause I'll be fuckin' on your tail
Don't.. don't wait for me.. don't you wait for me... no no!!
Don't you wait for me no no!!!

[Lead]

All night long... doin' what we've got to do.. yeah
Well so long... but you know... I 'm comin' after you
