Cowboys From Hell
Under the lights where we stand tall Nobody touches us at all Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without We're gonna take what's ours to have Spread the word throughout the land They say the bad guys wear black We're tagged and can't turn back
You see us comin' And you all together run for cover We're takin over this town
Here we come reach for your gun And you better listen my friend, you see It's been slow down below, Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Pillage the village, trash the scene But better not take it out on me 'Cause a ghost town is found Where your city used to be So out of the darkness and into the light Sparks fly everywhere in sight From my double barrel, 12 gauge, Can't lock me in your cage
You see us comin' And you all together run for cover We're takin over this town
Here we come reach for your gun And you better listen my friend, you see It's been slow down below, Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell Deed is done again, we've won Ain't talking no tall tales friend 'Cause high noon, your doom Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Cemetery Gates
Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy? Crucified for no sins An image beneath me Whats within our plans for life It all seems so unreal I'm a man couldnt have feel this world Left in my misery... The reverend he turned to me Without a tear in his eyes It's nothing new for him to see I didn't ask him why I will remember The love our souls had Sworn to make Now I watch the falling rain All my mind can see Now is your (face)
Well I guess You took my youth I gave it all away Like the birth of a New-found joy This love would end in rage And when she died I couldn't cry The pride within my soul You left me incomplete Memories now unfold.
Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the Cemetery gates
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder aloud If you're watching over me Some place far abound I must reverse my life I can't live in the past Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last Through all those Complex years I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around And make this world my own And when she died I should've cried and spared myself some pain... Left me incomplete All alone as the memories still remain
The way we were The chance to save my soul And my concern is now in vain Believe the word I will unlock my door And pass the cemetery gates
Medicine Man
Many distant miles away Past the shores of ever dark There stays a magic man Who bears an evil mark He helps all concerned Those who come again return Injecting lies while fires burn The devil's heart With angel's words Have you wondered What heaven's like? He can show you in one night Overwhelming with euphoric lift To lure you to steal your gift
Intoxication Seeping down to the bone And there's no question Where you have to go
Understand just take his hand He's the medicine man
Once proud and fearless men With desire in their eyes Lost strong and fruitful lives To self-indulgent ties Their souls were dipped in venom And put into a box Then placed upon a crowded shelf Where countless souls now rot Have you ever wondered what hell's like? He can take you there Just one taste and you'll be back And by the high you'll swear
Intoxication Seeping down to the bone And there's no question Where you have to go
Understand just take his hand He's the medicine man
Message In Blood
There's a place that I keep deep inside me It can trigger my mind All along I knew it has been with me Since I was just a child
I just summon power within my soul It has given me life, beyond life I take Blame for my murderous problem my signature Always reminds
It's a message in blood It's your cryptic warning Within the message in blood Marks the years of pain, And your godforsaken ending to life
I'm provoked into sick confrontations, brutal Time after time, bed of nails, suffocation, life's ending, slay in different designs One mans misery is another mans mystery No one cares to understand my Demented means Sticks and stones can break all your brittle bones, epitaph written at your feet
It's a message in blood It's your cryptic warning Within the message in blood Marks the years of pain, And your godforsaken ending to life
Walk Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence One step from lashing out at you... You want in to get under my skin And call yourself a friend I've got more friends like you What do I do? (Pre) Is there no standard anymore? What it takes, who I am, where I've been Belong You can't be something you're not Be yourself, by yourself Stay away from me A lesson learned in life Known from the dawn of time (Chorus) Respect, walk Run your mouth when I'm not around It's easy to achieve You cry to weak friends that sympathize Can you hear the violins playing you song? Those same friends tell me your every word (Pre) (Chorus) Are you talking to me? No way punk
Fucking Hostile Almost every day I see the same face On broken picture tube It fits the attitude If you could see yourself You put you on a shelf Your verbal masturbate Promise to nauseate Today I'll play the part of non-parent Not make a hundred rules For you to know about yourself Not lie and make you believe What's evil is making love and making friends and meeting God you're own way The right way (Chorus) To see To bleed Cannot be taught In turn You're making us Fucking hostile We stand alone The truth in right and wrong The boundaries of the law You seem to miss the point Arresting for a joint? You seem to wonder why Hundreds of people die You're writing tickets man My mom got jumped -- they ran! Now I'll play a public servant To serve and protect By the law and the state I'd bust the punks That rape steal and murder And leave you be If you crossed me I'd shake your hand like a man Not a god (Chorus) Come meet your maker, boy Some things you can't enjoy Because of heaven/hell A fucking wives' tale They put it in your head Then put you in your bed He's watching say your prayers Cause God is everywhere Now I'll play a man learning priesthood Who's about to take the ultimate test in life I'd question things because I am human And call NO ONE my father who's no closer that a stranger I won't listen (Chorus)
This Love If ever words were spoken Painful and untrue I said I loved but I lied In my life All I wanted Was the keeping Of someone like you As it turns out Deeper within me Love was twisted and pointed at you Never ending pain, quickly ending life -- (Chorus) You keep this love, thing, child, toy You keep this love, fist, scar, break You keep this love I'd been the tempting one Stole her from herself This gift in pain Her pain was life And sometimes I feel so sorry I regret this the hurting of you But you make me so unhappy I'd take my life and leave love with you I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself -- (Chorus) No more head trips
I'm Broken
I wonder if we'll smile in our coffins while loved ones Mourn the day, the absence of our faces, living, laughing, Eyes awake. Is this too much for them to take? Too young for ones conclusion, the lifestyle won. Such values you taught your son. That's how. Look at me now. I'm broken. Inherit my life. One day we all will die, a cliched fact of life. Force fed To make us heed. Inbred to sponge our bleed. Every Warning, a leaking rubber, a poison apple for mingled Blood. Too young for ones delusion the lifestyle cost Venereal Mother embrace the los$. That's how Look at you now. You're broken Inherit your life.
25 Years
I vent my frustration at you old man, after Years your ears will hear..You screamed that you Tried, but it's words of a weakling and promises made By a drunken liar [fucking liar]. Now you pick up that splintered Chair, that was aiming for your head. A head that should Have been long ago kicked in by me. Alone. I won't lose a second of sleep for this...Don't touch me. Orphaned to the dope and drinks, I learned my lesson well, Somehow(?), from you. No tears. Can't clutch my regrets. But these years of detachment have left me with Demons now surfacing. But I'm becoming more than nothing. You never knew the answers to any of my questions, did you? You made up all the answers to my unimportant existence. But now you don't have to dump me off, not again... Don't touch me again. I vow, lest I die tomorrow... You'll never be the father I am. The bastard father to The thousands of the ugly, criticized, the unwanted. The Ones with fathers just like you. We're fucking you back. I'm shoving my life right down your throat. Can I Find the guts? Can I feel the heart? Look at the Ground as you choke me up, does it taste like tequila? Or failure? We're fucking you back.
It's wearing on my mind, I'm speaking all my doubts aloud You rob a dead mans grave, then flaunt it like you did create
If I hit bottom and everythings gone In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run
It's digging time again, you're nurturing the weakest trend
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this Can spot a pathetic without even asking
Fuck your magazine, and fuck the long dead plastic scene Pierce a new hole, if Hell was "in" you'd give your soul
(Chorus) THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL That's right, THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL
Buy it at a store, from MTV to on the floor You look just like a star, it's proof you don't know who you are
It's bullshit time again, you'll save the world within ! your trend
Politically relieved, you're product sold and well received The right words spoken gold, if I was God you'd sell your soul to...
(Chorus)
Truly, fuck the world, for all it's worth, every inch of Planet Earth, fuck myself, don't leave me out, but don't get involved, don't corner me Inside, ulcer, unjust bastards, file out face first Meet the lies and see what you are
(Pre) It's forcing you down, and it's grinding against you Let the war nerve break
(Chorus) For every fucking second the pathetic media pisses on me and judges what I am in one paragraph - Look here - Fuck you all
Expect the worse, you bleeding heart, but kill me first before it starts, yes my cock is getting hard, we are born different after all Invite mayhem, produce weapons, shoot out, burn down No CNN or media now
(Pre) (Chorus)
All the money in the fucking world couldn't buy me one second of trust or one ounce of faith in anything you're about Fuck you all
Nothing is worth the sleep that I've lost Apologies unacceptable now A blistered revenge awaits in me This is fucking loveless Hate Hate mail is not read, in jail instead Hate The Lord knows, there's worse Ignore, this curse Hate
Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take the pain away Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot see inside yours and mine
(Pre) When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me breathe, for our handle on this life, I don't believe this time
(Chorus) Would you look at me now? Can you tell I'm a man? With these scars on my wrists To prove I'll try again Try to die again, try to live through this night Try to die again.....
Forever fooling, free and using, sliding down the slide that breaks a will Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are you to regress unfulfilled? It's a damn shame, but who's to blame?
(Pre) (Chorus)
Out of my mind, gun up to the mouth No pretension, execution, live and learn Rape a! nd turn Fret not family, nor pre-judged army This is for me, and me only, cowards only Try it
(Chorus) Don't you try to die, like me It's livid and it's lies and makes graves
It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a rotting life I'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off, fuck you all Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me for weakness is a magnet - watch me do it
(Chorus)
Graves descending down Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it, doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice when a mind's made up to go ahead and die? What's done is done and gone, so why cry?
(Chorus)
Eliminate, the life decline... I've paid the ma
Eliminate, the life decline... I've paid the masters with blood and hunger ..And it's not for sale by any stretch. It's like religion without a Bible And the Dragon lives inside my mouth And it speaks in tongues, the word...
(Chorus) Hellbound - in Ft. Worth, Texas Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Snakes, in Southern flames To bring the thunder; the great decider Would you believe in this or the ash? I do believe it and it's taking over... Accept
(Chorus)
Born to a world so young and proud But over your head hangs a black cloud Grow your hair and crawl inside yourself Because there you cannot hide Facing fears that you'll overcome and one Of these years you know you've won
(Chorus)
Eliminate, the life decline... I've paid the masters with blood and hunger ..And it's not for sale by any stretch. It's like religion without a Bible And the Dragon lives inside my mouth And it speaks in tongues, the word...
(Chorus) Hellbound - in Ft. Worth, Texas Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Snakes, in Southern flames To bring the thunder; the great decider Would you believe in this or the ash? I do believe it and it's taking over... Accept
(Chorus)
Born to a world so young and proud But over your head hangs a black cloud Grow your hair and crawl inside yourself Because there you cannot hide Facing fears that you'll overcome and one Of these years you know you've won
(Chorus)
sters with blood and hunger ..And it's not for sale by any stretch. It's like religion without a Bible And the Dragon lives inside my mouth And it speaks in tongues, the word...
(Chorus) Hellbound - in Ft. Worth, Texas Hellbound - Ft. Worth
Snakes, in Southern flames To bring the thunder; the great decider Would you believe in this or the ash? I do believe it and it's taking over... Accept
(Chorus)
Born to a world so young and proud But over your head hangs a black cloud Grow your hair and crawl inside yourself Because there you cannot hide Facing fears that you'll overcome and one Of these years you know you've won
(Chorus)
