The Rise of Chaos

The world around us, frozen in terror The balance of power, a thing of the past Anything human has been abandoned We’re just drowning souls in a river of blood What was built up in thousands of years In just a moment is destroyed Have we lost all compassion and love? Cast our souls into the void (Oh...) If you live by the sword – you will die by the sword (Oh...) If you live by the sword – you will die by the sword We’re sinking deeper in a world of darkness It’s kill or be killed from the day we are born We’re an evil seed from the soul of a serpent An evil breed in a valley of thorns What was built up in thousands of years In just a moment is destroyed Have we lost all compassion and love? Cast our souls into the void (Oh...) If you live by the sword – you will die by the sword (Oh...) If you live by the sword – you will die by the sword Blood and vengeance, iron and bone Fallen warriors, carved in stone! Crush this mindless desire for blood And stop this endless crusade Conquer our instincts and lay down the steel Save our children from the blade (Oh...) If you live by the sword – you will die by the sword (Oh...) If you live by the sword – you will die by the sword

I need you like a prison term, like a ball and chain Like a spike into my brain, you’re a rope around my neck You’re a leech that won’t let go, a bitch that just says no! And you leave me only wanting more I’ve tried so hard to quit you, you’re the monkey on my back A life controlling money pit, you turn my whole world black I need you (like a hole in the head) I need you (like a hole in the head) I need you like a rotting core, like a crippling disease Like a whore that does not please, you’re an evil parasite You’re a dog who’s had his day, I’ve got to walk away! Before it all comes crashing down You’re a handful of addiction, my antagonistic sin You take it all, give nothing back, I can’t let you win I need you (like a hole in the head) I need you (like a hole in the head) You seduced me like a vampire, you’re a curse to all mankind A self-inflicted kiss of death, how could I be so blind? I need you (like a hole in the head) I need you (like a hole in the head) I need you (like a hole in the head) I need you – like a hole in the head!

Everybody’s out to get me This new world’s trying to take me down Break free but it won’t let me Right now there’s only one way out Oh! All fight for survival In this apocalyptic maze Caught in a downward spiral Right through a cataclysmic blaze All hell around you Just a continual descent Bedlam surrounds you It’s the beginning of the end It’s the rise of chaos The rats will rule this sinking ship The rise of chaos Surrender your souls and come to grips No rules, laws or borders Killing for guns and gasoline This is the new world order A blackened future unforeseen This hell around you This is your new reality Mayhem surrounds you Beyond the edge of sanity It’s the rise of chaos The rats will rule this sinking ship The rise of chaos Surrender your souls and come to grips Everybody’s out to get me This world’s not gonna take me down All hell around you Just a continual descent Bedlam surrounds you It’s the beginning of the end It’s the rise of chaos The rats will rule this sinking ship The rise of chaos Surrender your souls and come to grips The rise of chaos It’s the rise of chaos!

Running through the jungle Way back in ‘78 Here’s the story of the People’s Temple And my great escape Communing with a madman The promise of utopia White nights, suicide drills Shades of things to come He said “We’re gonna mix it up Add the cyanide Then we’ll drink it up You’re gonna feel so fine” I said “Don’t drink the Koolaid Don’t taste the holy water Don’t drink the Koolaid No matter what the preacher, what the preacher says!” The day of disaster struck The murders did begin His sheep drank it willingly While mothers force fed their kin 33 escaped this hell Some would call it fate That’s how I lived to tell the tale About the day he mixed the grape He said “We’re gonna mix it up Add the cyanide You better drink it up You’re gonna get so high” “Don’t drink the Koolaid Don’t taste the holy water Don’t drink the Koolaid No matter what the preacher says Don’t drink the Koolaid Don’t you down the holy water Don’t drink the Koolaid Don’t believe a word he says” Most of the congregation 900 dead Jones found his own way out A bullet to the head! “Don’t drink the Koolaid Don’t you taste the holy water Don’t drink the Koolaid No matter what the preacher says Don’t drink the Koolaid I won’t down the holy water Don’t drink the Koolaid No matter what the preacher, what the preacher says!”

I’ve loved and lost and I’ve fought and won Taken my time, been under the gun I’ve come up short, taken too long I’ve made mistakes, but I’ve never been wrong Sometimes the pleasure isn’t worth the pain it brings But in the end I wouldn’t change a thing, yeah! I’ve got no regrets Oh! No regrets I’ve been at war and I’ve prayed for peace I’ve done my time and I’ve been released I’ve walked the line, been out on a ledge I’ve hugged the curves and gone over the edge I’ve seen fame, misfortune, love and pain But one thing still remains the same, yeah! Nothing to forget I got no regrets I’d do it all again Sometimes the pleasure isn’t worth the pain it brings But in the end I wouldn’t change a thing! Oh yeah! I’ve got no regrets! Oh, yeah, yeah! No regrets! Nothing to forget, I’ve got no regrets I’d do it all again No regrets!

So you gave it all you had Things just didn’t turn out like you thought they would Yes you wanted it so bad You’d do things different next time if you only could Don’t look back – it’s just a shadow Don’t look back – it’s in the past What is done is done... the bullet’s left the gun What is done is done when the bullet’s left the gun What is done is done, it’s over, you can’t unring the bell You know the past is just a tale Gone beneath the bridge but still you live in chains Yes you’ve hammered out the nail Now you’ve come to find that still the hole remains Don’t look back – it’s in the shadows Don’t look back, just let it go What is done is done... the bullet’s left the gun What is done is done when the bullet’s left the gun What is done is done, it’s over, you can’t unring the bell What is done is done (the bullet’s left the gun) What is done is done when the bullet’s left the gun What is done is done, it’s over, you can’t unring the bell! What is done is done... What’s done is done... no you can’t unring the bell When the bullet’s left the gun

Here it comes straight down the barrel Thru the bone right to the metal I can feel it pierce my very soul Who is the slave, who is the master? You’ll never get what you’re after It’ll steal your will and leave a burning hole Who is the man in the mirror, bringer of pain tempting and terror? Sometimes he’ll rock you to the core Wanting to do just the right thing, all alone constantly fighting This is it, my internal war There’s two worlds colliding, right inside of me Two worlds colliding, I’m my own worst enemy There’s two worlds colliding, and I’m watching helplessly How two worlds colliding, collide inside of me Same song, another rendition Round the bend, head on collision Give and take, endless compromise Run away from the temptation Straight ahead into frustration Like a shot right between the eyes There’s two worlds colliding, right inside of me Two worlds colliding, I’m my own worst enemy There’s two worlds colliding, and I’m watching helplessly How two worlds colliding, collide inside of me Am I going crazy, have I lost my mind? Insanity enslaves me, I’m starting to unwind Two worlds colliding, oh right inside of me Two worlds colliding, I’m my own worst enemy Two worlds colliding, collide inside of me There’s two worlds colliding, and I’m watching helplessly! Two worlds colliding, collide inside of me

Take the heat, stand the pressure, bearing a load beyond measure Hold fast, and fight with fire, always walking the wire Wake up, that’s not the answer, it eats at your life like a cancer You want it all, can’t fight the feeling You’ll never win ‘cause the devil’s dealing Don’t let it control you It’s dragging you down Can’t let them control you... Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Carry the weight of the world all alone Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Don’t carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone On the news, another bombing, the feds can’t stop global warming Give now! Or children will die, more planes fall from the sky Look out, floods and earthquakes, big corporations get tax breaks The Euro’s down, and now there’s Brexit The world is broke, and you can’t fix it Don’t let it control you It’s dragging you down Can’t let them control you... Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Carry the weight of the world all alone Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Don’t carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone There will be trails in your life, things you cannot control There will be heartache and strife, don’t let it tear out your soul Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Carry the weight of the world all alone Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders Don’t carry that weight, it will turn your heart to stone

The time has come to visualize our greatest fears Closer than we realize, the end is near No! The endangered flee from their homes – you’ve seen the signs Caring only for ourselves as the planet dies Will we chance direction, will we become aware And cure our own infection, or else beware Is this the race to extinction... a race to the end? The race to extinction... the race to the end Feeding greed our conservation’s gone off track Species die – once they’re gone they’re not coming back We can change this story, adapt and compromise Balance is mandatory, open your eyes Is this the race to extinction... a race to the end? The race to extinction... the race to the end, yeah! We can change this story, adapt and compromise Balance is mandatory, open your eyes This is the race to extinction... a race to the end The race to extinction... the race to the end The race to extinction!
