Slaves to the wave 04:17
lyrics
buy track
I hear the warning, so loud the sound they got eyes in the sky, ears to the ground cant you see them coming, over the fields no practice run this time, this is for real and for the first time I opened up my eyes and saw the light a slave to the wave broadcasting all our lives out in the distance this resistance they cant help but despise and we remain slaves to the wave here come the roses, here come the wine but when the fucking is done your the one left behind some say were paranoid, don't find that true now drink your Kool-Aid, and put on those jogging shoes and for the first time I opened up my eyes and saw the light a slave to the wave broadcasting all our lives out in the distance this resistance they cant afford the compromise and we remain slaves to the wave Meteor showers and tidal waves, why do I feel so unafraid some people say these are the end of days, but I feel A-O-K. Up in the vortex of this cyclonic rain there's a little place I don't feel so insane Down in the bunker we got everything you need we got food rations and stacks of M-16s and for the first time I opened up the gates and saw the light Gabriel's trumpet blowing, stars burst in the sky Out in the distance there's a comet coming, hey lets catch a ride and we'll remain slaves to the wave no more we'll leave this place behind

We've been digging graves with razor blades burying ourselves alive living underground aint so sound when your trying to get some peace of mind come on everybody lets step into sunlight leave your darkness far behind arm in arm we could pull ourselves out, who knows what we'll find come on everybody lets step into sunlight leave your darkness far behind meet me at the corner on the other side of midnight arm in arm we could pull ourselves out...yeah Black haired devil in a long blue dress hidin hind her witchy eyes blood that drips from this city's lips runnin all down her thighs you cant hide your evil baby its pouring up out of your soul priest were gonna need an exorcism to get this demon under control come on everybody lets step into sunlight leave your darkness far behind meet me at the corner on the other side of midnight arm in arm we could pull ourselves out...yeah please tell me there's something to believe in were dreaming of a heaven up there but every night I find myself gazing back at my blank stare I got a little lost along the way...

Devils at the door 04:22
lyrics
buy track
If I told you before my brother, I told you a hundred times You cant blame the life your not living, on the women or the wine I don't trust the man in the middle, you know he's on the take while your bloods dripping down to the bedrock, he'll be dancing with the snakes Time keeps ticking, slipping away the hour's long, the dust is gone and now you must pray The man downstairs patiently waits, clicking his claws for you the writing's on the wall, the devil's at the door We've been walking a hard road brother, searching for a sign You cant claim you're chosen one without, turning water wine Time keeps ticking, slipping away the hour's long, the dust is gone and now you must pray The man downstairs patiently waits, clicking his claws for you the writing's on the wall, the devil's at the door....you better let him in. your time is nigh, says the moon a ghost is here, inside my room the fire stoked, down below from whence it came, so shall it go spring has sprung, the leaves in bloom abandon child, the devils womb rise from ash, these seeds we'll sow into the light, we will go Time keeps ticking, slipping away the hour's long, the dust is gone and now you must pray The man downstairs patiently waits, clicking his claws for you the writing's on the wall, the devil's at the door....you better let him in.

The getaway 05:45
lyrics

The sun is so bright it burns the moonlight from your eyes cold hands, cold heart how'd we ever get so far....apart all I ever wanted was something strong something to help me get along one day you'll see your not the company you keep and on the getaway we lost it all threw caution to the wind and took the fall now in the fadeaway the credits slowly roll a somber song plays on and on, for you and me this place, this day how'd we ever let it slip....away and oh that heavy load, set to explode it can be a killer, man I know cause on the getaway we lost it all threw caution to the wind and took the fall now in the fadeaway the credits slowly roll a somber song plays on and on I know the places that you need to go, to get low I go there too.

Jailhouse keys 05:03
lyrics

This boy ain't going back to those four walls Jailhouse keys janglin' down the hall this big ol' place sure makes a man feel small and I won't be held by the strong arm of your law It was suicide by cop, when that boy was shot it was two in the knees, one in the head and he dropped the neighbors were in shock, to this day they still don't talk about the night they heard him scream This boy ain't going back to those four walls Jailhouse keys janglin' down the hall this big ol' place sure makes a man feel small and I won't be held by the strong arm of your law With a number 'round his wrist, condemned to a world of fists all he could dream of, was his baby's kiss now in solitary confine, that's where he lost his mind and some people say, he'll never get it back This boy ain't going back to those four walls Jailhouse keys janglin' down the hall this big ol' place sure makes a man feel small and I won't be held by the strong arm of your law ...and this sleepy little town, awoke to an awful sound gun shots spread like a wild fire, and burned those barn doors down the neighbors walked away, with nothing left to say the night they gunned down the little boy, of the old man Eli James

First person shooter 04:09

Armed to the teeth the bodies pile up until the voices are pleased I play this game, till everyone here knows my name see I got this brain, can't sit still they said they tried everything now all I'm left with, is time to kill Armed to the teeth the bodies pile up until the voices are pleased and I'll play this game, till everyone here, knows my name We hunt tonight drag em' down and hang em' by the firelight seek out the lost souls bury em' deep, now were back in control They built these walls locked up tight, impenetrable now i'm alone knock, knock, knock, nobody's home Armed to the teeth the bodies pile up until the voices are pleased and I'll play this game, till everyone here, knows my name We hunt tonight drag em' down and hang em' by the firelight seek out the lost souls bury em' deep, now were back in control All these precious lives I cant conceive into the ground no more make believe We hunt tonight drag em' down by the fire light seek out the lost souls We hunt tonight
