Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Refrain:
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thought tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Refrain

Now I lay me down to sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Sad But True

Hey - I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey - I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They - They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They - They'll betray
I'm forever there

Refrain:
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

You - You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You - You're my mask
You're the one who's shamed
Do - Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do - Do my deeds
For you're the one who's blamed

Refrain

Hate - I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay - Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair
Hey - I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey - I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason, alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true

Holier Than Thou

No more !
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed. Your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead

Who are you ? Where ya been ? Where ya from ?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Refrain:
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not

Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It's not who you are it's who you know
Others lives are on the basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Refrain

The Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

Refrain:
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

Refrain

Wherever I May Roam

...And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

...And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave

Refrain:
Rover Wanderer
Nomad Vagabond
Call me what you will
But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

...And the earth becomes my thrown
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

...And my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

Refrain

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam

Wherever I may roam...

Don't Tread On Me

Don't tread on me x 2

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged..
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore..

Don't tread on me

Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore..

Don't tread on me

So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore..

Don't tread on me

Through The Never

All that was, was and will be
Universe much too big to see
Time and space never ending
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
Limitations of human understanding

Too quick to criticize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive

Refrain:
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never

In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
Came to be, how it begun

All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun

Refrain

On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out to the
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then never comes

Refrain

Never

Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Of Wolf And Man

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep

Refrain:
Shape shift - Nose to the wind
Shape shift - Feeling I've been
Move swift - All senses clean
Earth's gift - Back to the meaning of...

...Life

Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wild
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized

Refrain

...Life
I feel a change
Back to a better day
Shape shift - Hair stands on the back of my neck
Shape shift - In wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself

Chorus

...Wolf and man

The God That Failed

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above

Pré-Refrain:
It feeds - It feeds
It grows - It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believe

Refrain: I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear those discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by a deepened nail
Follow the god that failed

Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

Pré-Refrain + Chorus x 2

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

Refrain

My Friend Of Misery

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You - you're smothered in tragedy
You're out to save the world

Refrain:
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You - you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

Refrain

You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery

The Struggle Within

Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose

What the hell - What the hell
What is it you think you're gonna find
Hypocrite - Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Refrain:
Struggle within - It suits you fine
Struggle within - Your ruin
Struggle within - You seal your own coffin
Struggle within - The struggle within

Home is not a home it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not handed out
While you struggle inside your hell
Reaching out - Reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
Closing in - Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal

Refrain

Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell
What is it you think you're gonna find
Hypocrite
Boredom sets into the boring mind

Refrain
