JENNIFER
LOST THE WAR
Jennifer lost the war
today
They'll find her burned and
raped
Through it all
She must have wondered
What have I done
But nobody really cares today
The worlds a busy place
Guess she must have really
sinned
I guess we're all just
soldiers
But she was only six years
old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
And if we're all just
soldiers
Is it wrong to be afraid
Phoebe lost the war today
There must be some mistake
Say it happens all the time
And it's said and done
And little miss 1565
Your soul remains unclaimed
Guess you must have really
sinned
Morality won't help her
When she lies silent in a
morgue
And all our sorrows
Just don't count at all
But will the morning
headlines
Even say it's a shame
What are we heading for
Seen it all before
Silent on the ground
As he's walking away
And I wonder how many more
Everybody takes it
Like it's nothing at all
Jennifer lost the war

ELDERS
When we younger
There always seemed like some
Some perfect mold
That we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someone's lied to
me
'Cause I've been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our
accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don't you just do it yourself
'Cause I've tried
Man I've tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't
trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us

OUT
ON PATROL
Look at you soilder boy
now
With that big gun in your little
hand
As you patrol this foreign
land
Hear the mine that clicks beneath
your feet
Now do you see the light
Fading while your world is
crumbling
Out on patrol
And all you can do is sit and
stare
What revelation have you now
What culmination to your speck of
life
Your moment in time
As you sit here all alone
Will your buddies come and save
your life
But as the enemy appears
See your life flash before your
eyes

CROSSROADS
Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
'Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on
Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries
me
I just want to know what's
home
Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my
soul
Though her road leads away
She's still my
True love
I could believe
Will is not enough when all
those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe
I still want to know
Who can see for me
Crossroads tell me
Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an
enemy
Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But that's not what worries
me
I just want to know what's
home

DEMONS
Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending
doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the
moonlight
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death
Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky
grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in
candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish
delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many
others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian
hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my
lair
I've loved you before, in other
lives
But you've never meant as much to
me
Never meant as much to me as
now
In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than
that
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease

BEHEADED
Mommy doesn't have her head
anymore
Keep it underneath my bed on the
floor
That's alright though
That's ok
She never really used her head
anyway
Daddy called me a silly bore
Bet he wont say that anymore
Because the way his body's
severed in two
His vocal chords are gonna be
hard to use
Refrain:
Beheaded
Watch you spurt like a garden
hose
Beheaded
Bloody mess all over my
clothes
Watch my girlfriend come to the
door
Chop off her head, she falls to
the floor
Watching my baby's jugular
flow
Really makes my motor go
Wrap a towel around the bloody
stump
Take my baby's body to the city
dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody
axe
Scoop all the heads in my burlap
sack
Refrain
All my collection
Adorns my rooms on bamboo
poles
Used to be a little
But a little got more and
more
Now I'm craving yours
Night brings bad dreams
Bad dreams and guillotines
Off with her head
Find another victim for my
machine
Put him in a homemade
guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a
casket
Watch the head plop in a wicker
basket
Leave the house at a quarter to
four
Come back with sixteen or
more
'Cause the more I want, the more
I see
Got a funny feeling coming over
me
Refrain

TEHRAN
In your plane in the blue
sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iran
The president said let it
ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran
Warrior, the time bombs
About to go
What will you feel
Will you ever wonder
If the man that's in your
sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye
The captain said kill or die
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran
Great Satan
Our flags of burning
Soon America may find
Its young man in the sand
Where there casualty
Is just a number
In Iran
The president said let it
ride
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran

A
THOUSAND DAYS
Ask me no questions and I'll
tell you
I'll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who's wrong
or right
Don't ask me for a reason, I
can't explain
Why hurt one other again and
again
As I lie bleeding here I
still
Still reach for you
Refrain:
A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes
Your eyes are open now but you
know
It's still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two separated things
Now I somehow wish I could
explain
Why we hurt one another again and
again
Like someone on his dying
breath
I still reach for you
Refrain
Forever we've been
Trapped by our hearts
Trapped by our minds
I'd like to leave
I'd like to win at love
But I just can't let it go
And I just can't watch it
slipping away
And I just can't let it go
And I just can't stand another
minute
Maybe now someday our shattered
live
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I wish I still could
And though I somehow know, I
can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and
again
Like someone on his dying
breath
I still reach for you

BLACK
BALL
In this world of hate and
shallowness
Where enemies become your
consolation
And those of us who win the game
give up their minds
I don't call that winning
Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I won today to win the
game
And just what have I
scarified
Win the battle or lose the
war
I know I've played this game
before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the
door
There's nothing left to feel
Reflect on all out yesterdays
My own words choke me, why were
they spoken
Regret for things I've said and
done just can't compare with
Regret for that I have never
tried
So blame this world or blame
yourself
It's really all the same
When you are standing on that
precipice
From which you just cannot
return
Win the battle or lose the
war
I know I've played this game
before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the
door
There's nothing left to feel
In the style of forgotten men
I look to my horizon - I see
nothing
While thoughts of guns and
desecration sweep through my
mind
But only coffins and bones
remain
As I look to you, the emptiness
behind your eyes seals my
decision
Can't carry on in a world of
jugglers where all this
thoughtlessness
And bludgeoning your key to
success
What kind of tradition to carry
on
BlacKoall - The new disease
BlacKoall - The new disease
BlacKoall - Your evil ways have
found their way inside me
BlacKoall - The new disease
BlacKoall - The new disease
BlacKoall - For a better life in
this high tech dog eat dog
existence

I'LL
BE WAITING
Once I had a friend that I
could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not
enough
To prove your friendship to me
now
Once I saw a face that I believed
in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who
wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know
But as I stand here alone in a
room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in
the air
Call them feiends but they just
don't care
Friend for life
Such shallow words for brokrn
minds
Show me a friend for life
'Cause I'll be waiting for that
day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I found a love I had to
know
Now we might know each other just
too well
'Cause when we're together we
just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what
we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to
chase it Dreams quickly turn to
reality
Who's at fault in this game of
yours and mine
Well I guess I'll never know
But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly
inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell
of her hair
Call her my own but is she really
there?
Love for life
Such noble words for noble
minds
Show me a love for life
'Cause I'll be waiting for that
day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I had a friend that I could
count on
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to
know
Now we might know each other just
too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase
it
Dreams quickly turn to
reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see
anymore

KILL
THE PRESIDENT
In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours
Kill the president, listen to the
voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power of
the government
A leader's not the centre of
democracy
Refrain:
In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours
Everyone says 'Well maybe I'll
make a difference'
Thinking they've got plenty of
time
But you're squeezed a little
tighter every day
Punished before you can commit a
crime
Refrain
Kill the president, listen to the
voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power of
the government
A leader's not the centre of
democracy
America
All your enemies
Come from within
But you lash out so
It is seen
Like some frightened child
In an angry world
Or the fall of Rome
Your demise comes
From your own hands
In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours
In a world without leaders
We might have a chance
But we'll never see it
As long as there's
