2. What Doesn't Die
+++++++++++++++++++
First in last out overthrown
It's been picked clean to the bone
And so hard to remember things
Like when we used to kill our kings
Crusading for hypocrisy
Under our nose the holy bleed
Crumbling under its own weight
Apologies if you relate
'Cause
You, cannot kill
What doesn't die!
Live up to my promise
My full potentional realized
Death lives right inside your pocket
Take him out and have a laugh
Go and piss your life away
Another ugly waste of clay
And up above there's no one home
Why don't you answer your phone?
Reminding me to learn that poem
First in last out overthrown
Because
You, cannot kill
What doesn't die!
Live up to my promise
My full potentional realized
You, cannot kill
What doesn't die!
Live up to my promise
My full potentional realized
A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood
Stem this tide of violence
As it rises like a flood
Solo
A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood
Stem this tide of violence
As it rises like a flood
A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood
Stem this tide of violence
As it rises like a flood
A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood
What doesn't die!
Stem this tide of violence
As it rises like a flood
A stream of consciousness flows into a river of blood
What doesn't die!
Stem this tide of violence
As it rises like a flood
You, cannot kill
What doesn't die!
Live up to my promise
My full potentional realized
You, cannot kill
What doesn't die!
Live up to my promise
My full potentional realized
3. Superhero
++++++++++++
When you praise my name I'll fulfill your expectation
Looking for an answer that'll dignify your prayers
What remains when your savior becomes human?
You feel the legend sometimes sacred you can't understand
Becomes bigger than the man
Pray for help cry out scream for me now
I'm not your superhero
Pray for help cry I'll scream for you now
I'm not your superhero
All my love and hate radiate and become eqauls
Untouchable enmity has always been my fate
Mine alone agony destined to suffer
Eternally my story never goes as planned
And its bigger than the man
Pray for help cry out scream for me now
I'm not your superhero
Pray for help cry I'll scream for you now
I'm not your superhero
Pray (once upon a time..)
for (I would do anything..)
help (for anyone..)
cry (at anytime..)
out
scream
for
(and all I ever ask for was your faith)
me now
Was that too much to ask?
There is no god there is no king
There is no saint of broken dreams
There's only you and truth and soul
The superhero is your own
There is no god there is no king
There is no saint of broken dreams
There's only you and truth and soul
The superhero is your own
Solo Pray for help cry out scream for me now
I'm not your superhero
Pray for help cry I'll scream for you now
I'm not your superhero
Pray (once upon a time..)
for (I would do anything..)
help (for anyone..)
cry (at anytime..)
out
scream
for
(and all I ever ask for was your faith)
me now
Was that too much to ask?
Was that too much to ask?
Was that too much to ask?
I'm not your superhero
Was that too much to ask?
4. Refuse to be Denied
++++++++++++++++++++++
Proud and free that's American to me
Symptomatically, and so basically
It's so definite, freedom is all of it
No humanity without restraint
Refuse to be denied
Refuse to compromise
Your ideology always a lie
It's jingoistic or nationalistic
Or whatever the hell you want to call it
With my raised fist yeah..
Never be denied
I stand and resist again
Proud and free that's a human thing to me
Burning at the core, and I go to war
Ain't gonna change my way of life
Twisted rhetoric, I won't subscribe
Refuse to be denied
Refuse to compromise
Your ideology always a lie
Imperialistic colonialistic
Bandwagon patriot wake up to this
With my raised fist yeah..
Never be denied
I stand and resist again
With my raised fist yeah..
Never be denied
I stand and resist again
With my raised fist yeah..
With my raised fist yeah..
I stand and resist again
Denied..
Denied..
5. Safe Home
++++++++++++
I've been down this road once or twice before
Through the open door, I come falling through it
There's a sign post up ahead, like a watershed
And it opens my eyes
Ways, for me to begin
To be born again
And knowing for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am
I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead
And on my paths just like a dream
Takes me from me inbetween
From out nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk (I walk..)
I know (I know..)
I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on
I know what i am and will always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream
All my fears turned from black to white
And I'd stand and fight
The whole world for you
Faith and destiny
I never did believe
My only god is love faith is what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my head
I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead
And on my paths just like a dream
Takes me from me inbetween
From out nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk (I walk..)
I know (I know..)
I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on
I've been places in my head
I've been places in my head
I've been places in my
Places in my
Places in my head...
Solo
You have always been my safe home
I walk (I walk..)
I know (I know..)
I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on..yeah!!
You have always been my safe home
I walk (I walk..)
I know (I know..)
I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world...
6. Any place But Here
+++++++++++++++++++++
Breath by breath you take
Still you're grasping for air
Miles and miles you move
Into the abyss you stare
(Into the abyss you stare)
Running from the plight
Mighty grips its hold
And that hunger's hanging on
But never return to the fold
With endurance
As the earth behind you burns
You can feel the heat
Keep your will and never turn
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, end this slavery
Come on, come on, where you're going
Any place but here
And you pray for more hope
So this will run its course
Everyday you move
Handcuffs lose they their force
(Handcuffs lose they their force)
Abandon all you know
So destitution hides
United in despair
Still makes it harder to divide
With exhaustion
As the earth behind you melts
You can feel the heat
But your need for living fails
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, end this slavery
Come on, come on, where you're going
Any place but here
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, ---- ----
Come on, come on, where you're going
Any place but here
A logical reason for being
Is quickly drifting away
People prove fiendishly greedy
Each time you try to believe
It's hard to be defiant
There's ways to kill the giant
Slaughtered by pins
Solo Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, end this slavery
Come on, come on, where you're going
Any place but here
Come on, come on, follow closely
Come on, come on, ---- ----
Come on, come on, where you're going
Any place but here
Any place but here
Any place but here
7. Nobody Knows Anything
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've been choking on the air that you've been giving me
It's all a game to you to me it's an atrocity
As you another loop onto my noose
I lose all sense of what is abuse
'Cause it's always been a bone of contention
This game of "what it is that I've done for you"
I've given you everything for nothing in return
And I'm so tired of bleeding for the respect that I've earned
Because no, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
I don't know how much generosity that I can take
Until I leave a trail of bodies lying in my wake
How many times do I lose my mind 'til I realize'
Give me the high hat and you think that I should compromise?
'Cause it's always been a bone of contention
This game of "what it is that I've done for you"
I've given you everything for nothing in return
And I'm so tired of bleeding for the respect that I've earned
Because no, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
No, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
Because no, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
No, nobody knows, nobody knows
Because nobody knows anything
8. Strap It On
++++++++++++++
And my plate is full
And I feel the pull
And my time is spent
Searching for something that came and went
Take me back
Take me back to a golden time
From '75 to '79
It makes it easy, so easy for me
Strap it on (Strap it on)
Strap it on (Strap it on)
Strap it on my old school
I changed by staying the same
And it grows inside
Metastasize
And my brain goes crazy
Sepia toned days are hazy
Take me back
Take me back to a heavy time
From '85 to '89
It makes it easy, so easy for me
Strap it on (Strap it on)
Strap it on (Strap it on)
Strap it on, on my old school
Strap it on, my old school
Strap, strap on my old school
Strap it on, my old school
I changed by staying the same
Solo
Strap it on, on my old school
Strap it on, on my old school
Strap, strap on my old school
Strap it on, my old school
Take me, take me, take me back..
9. Black Dahlia
+++++++++++++++
Hardcase
Fistful of brass
Double barrelled pistons and a tank full of gas
He's a heavyweight
Enforcer inside
Like a man in the chair he's gonna go for a ride
Break him
Take him down
Squeeze him, watch him drown
Against lightning
The wind from his sails
Takes on a man who's harder than a coffin nail
Priceless, the look on his face
If you look real close you can see the expiration date
Break him
Take him down
Squeeze him, watch him drown
Black Dahlia's in my head
Black Dahlia's in.. my head
Black Dahlia's in my head
Black Dahlia's in.. my head
Ice veined
Thousand yard stare
Breaking a man is like hunting for bear
And I'm loaded
Setting the trap
Tighten the noose
And bust a rat with my sap
Break him
Take him down
Squeeze him, watch him drown
Black Dahlia's in my head
Black Dahlia's in.. my head
Black Dahlia's in my head
Black Dahlia's in.. my head
Black Dahlia's in.. my head
Confession's good for the soul
Black Dahlia's in.. my head
In this hunt I walk alone
10. Cadillac Rock Box
+++++++++++++++++++++
Spoken: (Dimebag)
Yo G money!
This .... ciao here ringing you from the fucking Cadillac Rock Box here..
I suspect some mighty fine groovin' on this record here..
And eh.. shit! I have to call you tomorrow..
Alright brother, rock on!
It feel so good to be here
Ass bet broke and I don't care
Yeah, so good to be clear
I can testify
Listen
I can't fake an attraction to it
Magnetic, it pulls so hard
When two powerful forces collide and break down
Inside, and break out at the speed of sound
Locked and loaded I can't hold it
Pick-'em up, set'em up, watch it all go down
Oh yeah
Driving in my Cadillac Rock Box
Rock box..
I am so alive, I learned how to let it go
And on the day that I'll die I'll have no fear
Listen
I can't fake an attraction to it
Magnetic, it pulls so hard
When two powerful forces collide and break down
Inside, and break out at the speed of sound
Locked and loaded I can't hold it
Pick-'em up, set'em up, watch it all go down
Oh yeah
Driving in my Cadillac Rock Box
Rock box..
Stick-'em up, get'em up, drop it and throw down
Oh yeah
Hangin' in my Cadillac Rock Box
Oh yeah!
Solo
Pick-'em up, set'em up, watch it all go down
Oh yeah
Driving in my Cadillac Rock Box
Rock box..
Fill-'em up, shoot'em up, sit before you fall down
Oh yeah
Bury me in my Cadillac Rock Box
Rock, rock, box!!!
11. Taking the Music Back
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your lies that took me where I've been
Your lies don't make me who I am
Your lies that left me scarred
And so fucking hard
Your lies that burn me deep inside (inside..)
Your lies that helped to bleed me dry (bleed me dry..)
Left on your own
Because your cover's blown
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking back, yeah!
Against your will I'm not a slave
Against the deal and you get paid
I won't throw you a rope
You prove that shit can't float
Against it, you're the enemy (enemy..)
Against it, your philosophy (philosophy..)
Shit thrown against the wall
You'll eat it all
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking back..
Yeah!!
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking back..
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
Taking the music back
(I am..)
I'm taking..
12. Crash
+++++++++
Hello world
The one I knew you all
Hello world
Always hard to tell
When you're gonna take me there again..
Yeah, you're gonna watch until the end..
13. Think About An End
++++++++++++++++++++++
Wake up on fire everyday
And I never say good-bye..
Pre-determined destiny
I've never been afraid to die..
Mmh!
Ever since I was a kid
I've seen things my own way with my own eyes..
With my hands I turn the screws
In my life i decide..
You're bent under the will of endless dogmatic restraints
I will rage against the machine spewing out blind faith
Think about an end you can live with
Think about an end I can give you
Think about an end that will satisy
Think about an end you can live with
Think about an end I can give you
Think about an end
The only thing that's touched my soul
Ever in my life is love..
Tangible and psychical, visible
Unlike your god above..
You're bent under the will of endless dogmatic restraints
I will rage against the machine spewing out blind faith
Think about an end you can live with
Think about an end I can give you
Think about an end that will satisy
Think about an end you can live with
Think about an end I can give you
Think about an end
Where is all the mercy on which your faith has been built
All I see is hatred caused by years of inbred guilt
Yeah!
Resurrecting genuflecting killing in the name
You disawow the right to choose
It's medievally insane
Your god is dead and doesn't care
Tell me which one's worst
An uncaring god or knowing that you're alone on this earth?
Yeah!
(Wake up on..)
(Wake up on..)
(Wake up on..)
(Wake up on..)
Wake up on fire everyday
And I never say good-bye..
Pre-determined destiny
I've never been afraid to die..
You're bent under the will of endless dogmatic restraints
I will scream with rage!
Think about an end you can live with
Think about an end I can give you
Think about an end that will satisy
Think about an end you can live with
Think about an end I can give you
Think about an end
Think about an end
Think about an end
Think about an end
(Think about and end..)
(Think about and end..)
14. W.C.F.Y.A.
++++++++++++++
The mind can atrophy
Such mediocrity
Things aren't what they seem
Sometimes
And every waking dream
Repeating central theme
If we don't wake up do we die?
And when the best can be
Worse than what's usually
Found out it's all between
The lines
Then patience starts to bleed
Increasing enmity
It's time to let the bullets fly
Developed all exposure
Revealing no composure
The gates are open wide
The wrecking ball is here
Your chest contains no treasure
The prisoners are loose
'Cause
We've come for you all
Pay the expected fee
For the insanity
Now the reflection's deeply
Lined
All systems fail and seize
Break down and spill the grease
Aggressive tendencies designed
Developed all exposure
Revealing no composure
The gates are open wide
The wrecking ball is here
Your chest contains no treasure
The prisoners are loose
'Cause
We've come for you all
Solo
And every element
Will force a consequense
It takes a slanted state of mind
Then patience starts to bleed
Increasing enmity
It's time to let the bullets fly
Developed all exposure
Revealing no composure
The gates are open wide
The wrecking ball is here
Your chest contains no treasure
The prisoners are loose
'Cause
We've come for you all
Your chest contains no treasure
The prisoners are loose
'Cause
We've come for you all
15. We're a Happy Family
(Originally performed by Ramones)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
We're a happy family we're a happy family
We're a happy family me mom and daddy
We're a happy family we're a happy family
We're a happy family me mom and daddy
Sitting here in Queens eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
We ain't got no friends our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send daddy likes men
Daddy's telling lies baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills baby's got the chills
I'm friends with the President
I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making a fortune selling Daddy's dope
Sitting here in Queens eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
We ain't got no friends our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send daddy likes men
We're a happy family we're a happy family
We're a happy family me mom and daddy
We're a happy family.....x 12
