1. The Box
++++++++++
I am the box, I am a screen
I'm every nightmare, I'm every dream
I am the window over your land
So turn me on, come take my hand

Don't push me

I offer you scandal, I offer a wealth
Of grafuitous violence, hazerdous to your health
I give the vision, of how life should be
I choose your heroes, come follow me
Come follow me

Don't push me

It's just a box, It's just a screen
It's only a nightmare, It's only a dream
We give the vision, of how life should be
We choose our own heroes, come follow me
Don't push me


2. King Of The Kill
+++++++++++++++++++
I rule the jungle, I rule it with pride
I'm judge and jury, your life I decide
I have awakened for my nightly feast
A reign of terror, beware of the beast
Don't try to run there's no way to survive
A vicious surrender I'll eat you alive
No one is safe until I get my fill
All hear my warning I'm king of the kill

Stalking the land for the scent of my prey
Stopping for nothing don't get in my way
Left to the vultures your life is denied
I rule the jungle I rule it with pride
Don't try to run there's no way to survive
A vicious surrender I'll eat you alive
No one is safe until I get my fill
All hear my warning I'm king of the kill
Kill, king of the kill


3. Hell Is The War
++++++++++++++++++
Hiding in the darkness, sheltered from the rain
My mom and dad are gone now, I'm alone again
Is anybody out there? does anybody care?
I don't wanna live here anymore
I don't wanna live

See the people suffering watch the children die
Doesn't it make you wonder why?
Money and power, the television's red
One by one, they collect the dead
Hell is a war - hell, what is it for?

They'll slay the innocent and every mother's son
To get the ethnic cleansing done
Hey Mr. Politician, what are you gonna do?
This nightmare is up to you
Hell is a war - hell, what is it for?
Hell is a war - hell, what is it for?

Stopping for nothing, I fire at will
In the name of my religion I shoot to kill, to kill (Kill to kill)

See the people suffering watch the children die
Doesn't it make you wonder why?
Money and power, the television's red
One by one, they collect the dead

Hiding in the darkness, sheltered from the rain
My mom and dad are gone now, I'm alone again
Is anybody out there? does anybody care?
But I don't wanna live here anymore
I don't wanna live
Hell is the war, what is it for?


4. Bliss
++++++++

5. Second To None
+++++++++++++++++
Hello, are you looking for me? I'm the one to ease your pain
Just call me 'The Doctor' and I prescribe cocaine
I am your reason to live, I'm your church and I'm your pastor
C'mon, you've got nothin to lose, it's time to bring you up a little faster
It's time to kill let's have some fun
You'll fight but I'll win, 'cause I'm second to none

It's not the first time that you've taken the bait
You don't need anyone cause I will be your soul mate
C'mon and taste me, I'll take your where you want to go
Let's fly to the mountains, you can bury yourself in the snow
It's time to kill let's have some fun
You'll fight but I'll win, 'cause I'm second to none
You need me and I want you cause I'm the Devil's son
You'll fight but I'll win, 'cause I'm second to none

Welcome to my world, I hope you see there's no way out
Just look around you, I'll take you higher so just scream
Scream it out

I am your reason to live, I'm the power that runs in the veins
You can bet your ass, I'll take you down
But You've only yourself to blame
It's time to kill let's have some fun
You'll fight but I'll win, 'cause I'm second to none
You need me and I want you cause I'm the Devil's son
You'll fight but I'll win, 'cause I'm second to none
Second to none


6. Annihilator
++++++++++++++
The storm is coming closer,
Spreading out,
Infecting like disease (Like a disease)
All life below,
Is crushed under the power of machine
Annihilator (this machine) annihilator
Annihilator (this machine) annihilator
Rumble

Lighting rips the sky at night,
His power paints the city blood red
(Blood red)
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
Don't look behind cause you're dead
Annihilator (you're dead) annihilator
Annihilator (now you're dead) annihilator

You're trapped alone
Filled with fear
There's no one to help you
The storm is coming closer,
Spreading out,
Infecting like disease (Like a disease)
All life below,
Is crushed under the power of machine
Annihilator (this machine) annihilator
Annihilator (this machine) annihilator
Rumble


7. 21
+++++
Welcome to the Hothouse, the game is called "21"
I was in debt right up to my neck, I wasn't having any fun
But then the dealer turned around, she looked me right in the eye
I got no time for a messing around but you know I had to give it a try

She's got me under the gun - she can't have 21

She asked me why I was takin' my time, sweat running down my neck
I had the 6, the lady got 9 from the bottom of the deck
A 4 for me, it was a good thing, but she was sitting on a face
I said hit me with your best shot and she gave me the ace

She's got me under the gun - she can't have 21
I've got to be the chosen one - she can't have 21

I've gotta win, I gotta win or I might as well be dead
God let me win, just let me win, or I might as well be dead

She's got me under the gun - she can't have 21
I've got to be the chosen one - she can't have 21

Deuce's up, dealer has 21. No-o-o-o-o!


8. In The Blood
+++++++++++++++
The lamb and the lion - I destroyed you
I tore your world apart
I left the pieces bleeding in the dark

The light and the darkness - come between us
I built the wall of tears
I built it straight through your heart
It's in the blood - running through my veins
The pain inside is driving me insane
I've done it all before and I'll do it again and again
Cause it's in the blood - it's in the blood

The dream and the nightmare
Lay on the pillow
Beside you every night
Cause what you see is what you get - from me
The light and the darkness - come between us
I built this wall of tears
I built it straight through your heart
It's in the blood - running through my veins
The pain inside is driving me insane
I've done it all before and I'll do it again and again
Cause it's in the blood - it's in the blood

Deep in my dreams
I'm all you want from me
I'm all of light, I'm electricity

Cause it's in the blood
It's in the blood - running through my veins
The pain inside is driving me insane
I've done it all before and I'll do it again and again
Cause it's in the blood

The light and the darkness - come between us


9. Fiasco ("The Slate")
+++++++++++++++++++++++
You take time to cut me down
You're a fool, you're the talk of the town
So jealous, can't you see
It's your own insecurity

Your life is a mess
Slightly obsessed
Are you a paranoid schizo?
What a fiasco

Looking for scandal, you're under the gun
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun
They say you're missing a screw
This laugh is just for you, ha!

Your life is a mess
Slightly obsessed
Are you a paranoid schizo?
What a fiasco
Eat my dust boy, I said boy

I don't hold any drudges
I'm such a nice guy
Forgive and forget or better yet
Goodbye


10. Fiasco

11. Catch The Wind
[Instrumental]


12. Speed
+++++++++
I'm on a mission, I'm gonna break the speed of sound
My pulse is racing, I'm gonna have to put you down
Acceleration I gotta, gotta go faster
Give me more speed
They say I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
Give me more speed

No compotition, left in my dust - they'll never learn
This is my rocket, my aviation fuel is set to burn
Acceleration I gotta, gotta go faster
Give me more speed
They say I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
Give me more speed. Go!

You wanna rock and roll at a million miles an hour
Just put your foot to the floor, c'mon and feel the power
I know exactly what I'm after
I know exactly what I need
I need the speed!

I'm on a mission, I'm gonna break the speed of sound
My pulse is racing, I'm gonna have to chase you down
Acceleration I gotta, gotta go faster
Give me more speed
They say I'm crazy and I'm headed for disaster
Give me more speed


13. Bad Child
+++++++++++++
My father tried to tell me 'Son, just get your feet on the ground
You're in deep way over your head just turn your life around'
Poor mother, all I gave to her was pain - I didn't realize
The last thing I remember was the tears running from her eyes
Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child
Somethin' happened they'd always say - I was a bad child
Four, three, two, one!

No! Yeah!
Playin' hockey, drinkin' octane, I didn't care anymore - no
Always runnin' against the grain, I was rotten to the core
I could live forever - until they threw me out the door
I was a sleeping on the floor. Oh!
Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child (bad child)
Somethin' happened they'd always say - I was a little wild
I was a bad child, yeah. Go!

My father tried to tell me 'Son, just get your feet on the ground
You're in deep way over your head', I've turned my life around
My mother was the best to me, I guess I never realized
One thing that I'll never forget was the tears running from her eyes
Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child (bad child)
Somethin' happened they'd always say - I was a little wild
Somethin' happened along the way now I'm livin' to a better day
Somethin' happened along the way - I was a bad child
