1. Killing Time

Wrong place at the dead wrong time
What's mine is theirs but what's theirs ain't mine
Hard times in the neighborhood
When I'm good I'm bad and I was never good
So I sat alone, I'd sit and cry.

Just killing time
I'm killing time.

Minds bend, but they never break
They had to push, see just how much I'd take
Lines fade between wrong and right
I'd say it's black when they'd say it's white
Still I'd sit alone, but wouldn't cry.

Just killing time
I'm killing time
Been killing time
It's killing time.

Somewhere along the way I lost my mind
Now I sit alone and watch em cry.

It's killing time
Just killing time
I'm killing time
It's killing time.

2. Long Gone

Now's the time
See the writing on the wall
Life's a crime
Watch the axes as they fall.

Tear the page
Let them know you've been around
Kick the cage
Turn it upside down.

It's gonna be long gone
Gonna be long gone away
Gonna be long gone
Gonna be long gone away.

Walk your walk
Choose a path walked by the few
Save the talk
Show your point of view.

It's gonna be long gone
Gonna be long gone away
Gonna be long gone
Gonna be long gone away
Nothing you can do
Nothing anybody else can say
Gonna be long gone
Gonna be long gone away.

Feet of clay
Never made a man stand tall
Seize the day
Be the writing on the wall.

3. Protect And Serve

Don't tell us your story
Don't tell us you tried
You swore to uphold it
You swore and you lied
You let down the people
You let down the law
Your sisters, your brothers
You turned on us all.

The pride of the city
The guardian in blue
Of duty and honor
You don't have a clue
Don't tell us you're human
That truth is quite clear
We're lost our faith in you
We know whom to blame.

Protect and serve...

With every discretion
You're losing out trust
Your image is tarnished
Your badges in the dust
The shame of your family
The shame of the force
Your selfish indulgence
You felt no remorse.

Pray for our protectors
May god keep them strong?
Their purpose is noble
Protect us from wrong
Remember that honor and duty are one
There's more to a cop
Than a badge a gun.

4. Ready To Fall

Holy child
See what we're come to today
We defile
All things that get in our way.

Now we're ready to fall, ready to fall
Ready to fall, ready to fall.

So much pain gaze through the eyes of the poor
World's insane
Sorrow is at every door.

Well I think I'm going crazy
Now I must be going mad
Been crawling in this stinking shit
My world is filled with bad
And I stumble and fall and I'm sinking down
And I'm clawing and starting to drown
I see pain and death and lies and hate
In every street and town.

Holy child
There's nothing that you can do
Prince of liar
Look how he's laughing at you.

5. Circles

We had out time it's over
I've said my last goodbye
The lessons of a lifetime
I grieve but never cry
I live, but go through the motions
Can't seem to shake this devotion
My passion lived in your ocean.

You left me wandering around
Got me running in circles
Lost the strength that I found
Got me running in circles
Your memory cats a shadow
Your shadow walks with me
Your voice is now a whisper
I hear it endlessly
You haunt my every discretion
Your vision draws my attention
I break when your name is mentioned.

You left me wandering around
Got me running in circles
Lost the strength that I found
Got me running in circles
Now I'm running around
Got me running in circles
Where's the strength that I'd found
Got me running.

I'm living but go through the motions
Can't seem to shake this devotion.

You felt me wandering around
Got me running in circles
Lost the strength that I found
You got me running in circles
I'm still running around
You got me running in circles
God took the strength that I'd found
He's got me running.

6. Standby For Pain

Pain in my heart
Pain in my soul
The kind of pain I pray that you
Will never know.

There ain't no right
There ain't no wrong
You never know just what to feel
Or for how long
Say you're a smooth operator
You keep your motor clean
Sooner or later it bring you to your knees.

When you find love
Stand by for pain
When you find love
Stand by for pain
Stand by for pain.

You never know
When it will choose
But you can bet the bank on this boy
You're gonna lose.

You got no choice
You got no say
There's ain't a chance in hell of leaving
You better pray.

So if you think you're the exception
You think you'll walk away
Don't fall for that deception
Everybody's got to play.

Say you're a smooth operator
You keep your motor clean
Sooner or later it bring you to your knees.

7. Just Business

Prying is for sinners
Losers and beginners
Yeah, it's just business
Watching all the big boys
Taking all the kids toys
Yeah, it's just business.

It's just business
Its just business
Its just business
It's nothing personal.

Corporations mandate
Profiteering dictates
Yeah, it's just business
Crush the opposition
With practiced precision
Yeah, it's just business.

Fast and efficient
Emotionally distant
Yeah, it's just business
Cold and resourceful
Never remorseful
Yeah, it's just business.

8. The Iron Road

You saw the beast of thunder
Felt it's deadly speed
Never were you so alive
The spell that you were under
You feld you spirits need
Had to ride that iron horse.

Broke through stony mountain
Laid that gleaming rail
Suffered through the worst of times
Pestilence abounded
Your spirit never fails
Worked until your body cried.

So go on my friend
You fought for the right
You lived by the rules
So when will it end
Through hunger and blight
Through rain, snow and night.

It's the iron road
That leads you on
But in the end
All of your hope is gone
It's the iron road
That brings you pain
And in the end
The iron road will reign.

As the years grew endless
You saw your demons breed
Gave into the darker side
Driven to obsession
To satisfy your need
Had to ride that iron horse.

Oh why my friend
Men died in the night
You fought for their tools
So when does it end
You crawled for your dream
You stole, lied, and schemed.

At last the days upon you
You'll ride those gleaming rails
Climb aboard the iron horse
Its majesty alludes you
It's ceremony pales
All you fell is cold remorse.

Oh ride my friend
So driven by spite
You broke every rule
Oh it never ends
You won't be the same
You'll die with the shame

9. Bad Rain

Look into my eyes
You won't see them telling lies
See the trouble see the trials that surround me
Strain shows on my face
Its one thing time can't erase
Another catches, another chase
Hell has found me
Oh god knows that I've tried
Oh I'm filled with the lies
Of dreams that have died.

It's like a bad rain
Bad rain
It's like a bad rain
Bad rain
Like a bad, bad rain
Coming down on me.

Why do I carry on?
Now that all my hope is gone
To the limit and beyond
What am I proving?
Yet I have no choice
Like some disembodied voice
Ain't got nothing to rejoice
My life's in ruin
Oh the end's in my sight
Oh don't matter who's right
I'm losing the fight.

If you could see the things I've seen
Do what I've done, be where I've been
Then you could feel the pain I feel
I won't give in, I will never yield
So let it flow
Let if flow.

Look into my face
These battle scars state my case
I've run an uphill race
I'm not defeated.

Just try and knock me down
I'm a king without a crown
Out of way, I'm taking ground
I won't be beaten.

I'm like a bad rain...

I'm like a bad bad rain
Coming down on you.

10. Your Sorrow

I live for your pain
I thrive on your tears
I know to blame
I've waited for years
You tried your best to kill me
You gave it all you had
So now your anguish thrills me
I live to see you sad.

I welcome your grief
I love your distress
You bef for relief
I couldn't care less
I've waited years for this day
I counted every hour
I hate you every which way
So sweet your life's gone sour.

Your sorrow
Is my pleasure?
Your sorrow
Is my joy?

So how does it feel?
It's your turn to cry
Your anguish is real
I don't care if you die
You've shown me your true colors
I know the you inside
And now I watch you suffer
You ran but couldn't hide.

Your sorrow
My passion
Your sorrow
Is my way?

Your sorrow
Is so thrilling
Your sorrow
Is my light?
Your sorrow
Soul filling
Your sorrow
Is so right.

11. Cry A Dying Man's Tears

Say you struggle
The worlds down on you
Lost and lonely
Don't know what to do
Your misfortunes ain't all the appear.

Cry
A dying man's tears
Cry
A dying man's tears.

You got troubles
You think that you do
Say you suffer
You don't got a clue
Your few problems can't even compare.

Your petty worries
Ain't all they could be
Look all around you
Real life agony
Heartbreak and suffering
Go on endlessly
Now tell me
Is your life really all that bad?

Say you got troubles
I'm laughing at you
Say you suffer
Yeah, compared yo who?
Your life's crises are your cross to bear.

12. All Things Must Change

In a life of dreams
Things aren't all they seem
Every prison's not a cage
And I've learned one thing for sure
All things must change.

So I've lived my life
Through rose colored eyes
Life's so unreal from the stage
But the limelight fades away
All things must change.

There is no rhyme, there is no reason
Don't look to me for answers
I'll give you metaphors
And though a lying heart is treason
My only fear is sorrow
My pain is in the score
And nothing more.

Senses overload
Fields of depth explode
Mental fabric starts to fray
False reality
Life's triviality
Psychotic images remain.

As I live the passion play
Oh all things must change
Have i thrown my life away?
All things must change.

Corporate dynasties
Bring me to my knees
Negotiations strangulate
Faceless suited droids
Fight to fill some void
Sacrificial offering escalate.

And they don't know who to blame
All things must change
Lord I'll never be the same
All things must change.

When I've seen it all
Another curtain falls
Depth of feelings hard to gauge
Twisted pictures pass
Through the tainted glass
I relieve it all in silent rage.

How much can one man endure?
All things must change
I'm a symptom and the cure
All things must change
Now I've learned one thing for sure.

DYING TO LIVE

Tried just can't play the game
Got to get off this train
I've got nowhere to go
Can't win, can't place or show.

Dying to live...
Gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
Dying to live...

I'm drifting from the norm
No port in any storm
Caught in eternal lies
Who calls this paradise?

Dying to live...
Gonna be all right
It's be all right
Dying to live...

Pray for those with out hope
Mourn for those living lies
Reach for those who can't cope
Scream for the ones who've died.

Dying to live...
Gonna be all right
It's be all right
Dying to live...
