Naughty, naughty, little boy Grown up now still play with toys Arm your soldiers, show your strength Wave your colors to war's brink Follow him - his banners fill the blood red sky Preaching, beating Pounding hatred into his people's minds So damn us now, dictator rules Making wise men play his fools Sing his praises, the master calls to you Feed the people all your lies Gaining power at what price Desert kingdoms in the sun Now the bloodshed's just begun In our veins flows blackest crude The lifeblood of mankind His hands upon our throat and balls Now he starts to squeeze So damn us now, dictator rules Making wise men play his fools Sing his praises, the master calls to you Unsuspected fatal gasp People die from mustard gas Babies born from manmade wombs Soldiers rape the healing rooms Young men die for all your sins In a war nobody wins To pay for the atrocities We'll bring you to your knees So damn us now, dictator rules Making wise men play his fools Sing his praises, the master calls to you

Swinging like a wrecking ball Tearing down these four grey walls Chains of slavery gone away New aggressions, grave mistake Show me all that I have missed Trapped away in the abyss A heart of stone, a madman's pain A world so cold, defiance ensures gain I've seen Hell, you all were there Paying for what you've done to man Your bodies raped, your souls all burned The price you pay for Heaven on Earth Deep in blood, repent my sins Why ask God to forgive? Jesus loves me, yes he does - Ha! But Satan laughs, he knows he's won Lay in the lion's den Flesh is what you feed to them I've seen Hell, you all were there Paying for what you've done to man Your bodies raped, your souls all burned The price you pay for Heaven on Earth Now lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take The jaws of death open wide To swallow those of us inside The scales of justice far outweigh The price of sin for which we pay Heaven - Heaven on Earth I've seen Hell, your souls are burned The price you pay for Heaven on Earth

Some folks are born made to wave the flag, Ooh, they're red, white and blue, yeah. And when the band plays "Hail to the chief", they point the cannon at you, and you and... It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord, don't they help themselves, But when the taxman comes to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, son. It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, (Solo) It ain't me, It ain't me, I ain't no presidents son, son It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, no, It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they send them down to war, And when you ask them, "How much should we give?" Ooh, they only answer More and more and... It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, no. It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one. It ain't me, It ain't me, I ain't no presidents son It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, nooooo no

Shine down a ray of hope - to vigil over me Speaking words as they come My heart knows what to say Listen, I beg of you - before time slips away Who's to say they're right or wrong It's just something we must face When ignorance fuels the firestorm Giving guilt someone to blame Listen, I beg of you - before time slips away Free them and spare all of my pain Take what you want from me I'll die to set others free But I know hwat your intentions hold You'll be the death of hope I laugh inside, you clip my wings I sit and count my blessings Cure in hand, you watch me bleed As I close my eyes in eternal sleep Into the ground they lower me I pray someday you'll learn That evil stalks our immunities And pleasure bears a curse Listen, I beg of you - before time slips away Free them and spare all of my pain Take what you want from me I'll die to set others free But I know hwat your intentions hold You'll be the death of hope I laugh inside, you clip my wings I sit and count my blessings Cure in hand, you watch me bleed As I close my eyes in eternal sleep

Trust in me, my pretty one Surrender all, you must succumb The void awaits impatiently As you pray the Lord your soul to keep Close your eyes, take my hand I'll take you where you've never been Come and rest your weary head As I lead you to the Promised Land Down, down, now there's no way out You see you've gone astray You'll scream, and try to shout Your lifetime torn and frayed Drenched in sweat, your body cold You leave behind your troubled world All your anger, all your fears Once in my arms, will disappear Peacefull slumber beckoning The lure of pleasure reckoning Dreams of what you'll never have Lie beyond the Promised Land Down, down, now there's no way out You see you've gone astray You'll scream, and try to shout Your lifetime torn and frayed Come with me, I'm the man Walk with me to the Promised Land Down, down, now there's no way out You see you've gone astray You'll scream, and try to shout Your lifetime torn and frayed Down, down, now there's no way out You see you're here to stay You'll scream, and try to shout Your life's been torn away

I hide what I feel inside It seems better locked away Mainline opinions - no middle ground in hate Salted wounds bubble with pain As we plummet deeper in our headstrong ways We're seen for color, judged for race It's a vicious circle man must face Oh, to be free again, but no We'd rather - Play God with violent intent Play God in our twisted heads - Play God Programmed at birth, for what it's worth Truth we're not to see A history that's handed down A hatred you can't see Games we play every day - they vary with the fool Shape the thought, mold the crowd Manipulate the tool Oh, to be free again, but no We'd rather - Play God with violent intent Play God in our twisted heads Play God nothing left to be said - Play God instead When you know you've bought Conditioned thought Quick, run the other way But for every one that sees the light There's ten to take his place We'll play God - Play God - Play God

Slide down a rail of razor blades Bathe in acid rain Your bed of nails, a good night's sleep Old wounds reopening They're pushing, provoking They warp the mind - you must obey And they're coming to take you away Dying on a crucifix - you sadomasochist Distorted visions of liberty Denying all you know to be free They're pushing, provoking They warp the mind - you must obey And they're coming to take you away Beware of strangers bearing gifts All they want is censorship A smiling face can take you down Pounding your head into the ground They're pushing, provoking They warp the mind - you must obey And they're coming to take me away

Do you know what you're looking for? Can't seem to get it right If you saw it plain as day You'd be blinded by the light Can't you see what this does to me? Suspicions start to grow Toying with my confidence What does the future hold? Time won't wait this time Please make up your mind Don't let the world pass you by Here's your morning wake-up call One chance to see what sticks When we're thrown against the wall Time won't wait this time Please make up your mind Tight rope walking, light-speed talking Speaking not a word Are you afraid that chance you take Might jeopardize your worth? How far can you bend before You break the live you got? You think you know what's going on What is or is not hot Now our lives hang in the balance Waiting for the word to go All our bags are packed and ready But still the door is closed Time won't wait this time Please make up your mind

Silence is the only sound that I can hear Trying to recall anything that was real Numb through my veins, Greet the coldness, I embrace Take me far away from yesterday Sift through my life That lies shattered on the ground Cutting my fingers, the pieces won't sort out Turning away, I can never look back Help me understand the reason why Still the air is quiet All the questions hang unanswered Sitting by your resting place I gaze into your past Oh, tell me why you've left me here Alone and by myself - together on that night When Death called your name And finally took you home
