Infinite Dreams
Infinite dreams, I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams
Suffocation, waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again
Someone chasing, I cannot move
Standing rigid, a nightmares statue
What a dream, when will it end
And will I transcend
Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends, another fertile
It's getting to me, so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now in too deep
Even though it's reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder makes me think
There's more to this I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get to far in?
It can't be all coincedence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spiritualist? well me I'm neither
But wouldnt you like to know the truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side your on
Where would you end in Heaven or in Hell?
Help me, help me to find my true self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing myself even within my dreams
There's got to be just more to it than this
Oh tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again
The Evil That Men Do
Love is a razor and I walk the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter her eyes red
With the slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I will bleed for her
If I could only see her now
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain
The book of life opens before me
But I will pray for you
And some day I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn
The Prophecy
Now that I know that the right time has come
My prediction will surely be true
The impending disaster it looms
And the whole of the village is doomed
Why wont you listen to me
Is it so hard to understand
That I am the real seventh son
Your life or death on me depends
Suffering and pain impending disaster
Souls crying the devil's laughter
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles looks on and waits
I;ll take your life in my hands
Your fate your fortunes in my visions
Heed what I say and you'll see what will be
Please listen to me
Now that they see the disaster is done
Now they put all the blame onto me
They feel I brought on a curse
Dont they know that the torment it stays
With me knowing that I walk alone
Through the eyes of the future I see
They dont even know what fear is
Dont they know I'm the one who is cursed
Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs, hell awaits
I had their lives in my hands
Their fate their fortunes in my visions
No one believed in my true prophecy
And now it's too late
Still Life

Take a look in the pool and what do you see?
In the dark depths their faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you dont believe me
Oh... I've never felt so strange
Oh... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off of my head
You don't say, but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there and I don't know what to do
Oh... They drain my strength away
Oh... They're asking me to stay
Nightmares... Spirits calling me
Nightmares... They won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... Begin to see them clear
Nightmares... Coming all the time
Nightmares... Will give me piece of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh... we'll drown together
It... will be forever
Nightmares... Forever calling me
Nightmares... Now we rest in peace
To Tame A Land
He is the king of all the land
In a kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow
He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow
He is destined to be a king
He rules over everything
On a land called planet Dune
Bodywater is your life
And without it you will die
On the desert of planet Dune
Without a stillsuit you will fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis
It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the 'mice'
That they call the 'Maud' Dib'
He is the Kwizatz Haderach
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar
He has the power to forsee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him to lay claim his crown
And then the foe yes they'll be cut down
You'll see, he'll be the best that there's been
Messiah supreme true leader of men
And when the time for judgments at hand
Dont fret he's strong and he'll make a stand
Against evil the fire that spreads through the land
He has the power to make it all end
Two Minutes To Midnight
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we dont need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Some blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour the fourtune the pain
Go to war again blood is freedom's stain
But dont you pray for my soul anymore
Two minutes to midnight
The hand that threatens doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
The blind men shout let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers
The napalm screams as human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast... Yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage
Cut their meat and lick their gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine
And then feed it with our babies
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour the fourtune the pain
Go to war again blood is freedom's stain
But dont you pray for my soul anymore
Two minutes to midnight
The hand that threatens doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour the fourtune the pain
Go to war again blood is freedom's stain
But dont you pray for my soul anymore
Two minutes to midnight
The hand that threatens doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb
Midnight, midnight, midnight, it's all night
Midnight, midnight, midnight, it's all night
Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Lying awake at night
I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear
Cause I'd rather go now
Trying to visualize the horrors
That will lay ahead
The desert sand mound
A burial ground
When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die
God let us go now
And finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come
Thy shall be done...
On earth
Trying to justify to ourselves
The reason to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
UP THE IRONS!
