1. Voice Of Sanity
There's a scream at midnight Or a child who's time has come With a beauty so fresh and new Just twenty years she'd just begun Now the hour is coming strong Only to crush the innocent ones Crimes of passion and pleasure The reasons for what is done
[Pre-Chorus] Hear it echo through the stages Voice of Sanity
[Chorus] As its flowing through your mind Let it bring you pain Rivers turning blood red Let it drain your brain
Looking from the hindsight Of a world no longer strong Thinking you are protected You don't realize your sadly wrong You can walk the straight line But that straight line will be gone The voice is always watching and soon you will sing its sweet song
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
As you see the new dawn And praise the safety of lighted day Just like the young child We must all have a price to pay And if we're all mad Sanity is for who to say When the voice calls us We must all heed and come out to play
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
2. Hiroshima
Flashback... Pearl Harbor attack Incoming bombers, no way to fight back Chaos... blood in the sand The enemy is coming, the threat is Japan
[Chorus] It must fall to flame...Hiroshima fall to flame...Hiroshima
Fighters strike from the air Machine gun fire, no time to prepare Wounded ships have been sunk People will say kamikaze's the one
[Chorus]
One plane carries the bomb Orders are given, the city is gone Spreading flesh, it will burn Revenge has been taken and now the have learned
[Chorus]
3. Insult To Injury
A fallen soldier takes a hit And is left behind Comrades boots across his back Who masterminds the sneak attack
[Pre-Chorus] And of course the innocent Is the One who pays the price
[Chorus] Insult to Injury Insult to Injury
A knife will twist into the back the body hits the ground And the culprits smiling face is looking upon the waste
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
The missing lone ingredient Salt into the wound Is an insult to the pride You better put yourself respect aside
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
4. Dementia Thirteen
Take it, it's for free Soon it starts to please Take as much as you want Take as much as you need It kills all pain No need to feel ashamed Now it starts ti hit home Straight to the bone
[Chorus] Dementia Thirteen Now you're feeling stoned Pains are small and few This feeling's all that you own Never let them try to take it from you
Ahh, it's fucking me up I think Ive had a little too much speed And I can hardly see What the chords I'm hitting What the otes to play Yo, are we all in tune What did that dude just say
[Chorus]
5. Essence Of Evil
The last brick has been placed Trapped in a wall of stone Buried without a trace Left to rot to the bone Two men had been close friends Fought a war side by side Greed and lust lead to the end One man buried alive
[Chorus] The undead has life Essence of Evil Crawling and crawling Stair after stair It cries in the night Essence of Evil Revenge on the one That has put it there
So one talks of a truce He lures the other to his home Let us drink and forget The reason we walk alone A smile on his face But murder is on his mind A taste of poison too late How could he have been so blind
[Chorus]
Upstairs the killer sleeps As its clawing tooth and nail Raw flesh finds loose stone It escapes from its jail And now the killer wakes As the door swings open wide The essence has sealed his fate There is nowhere to hide
[Chorus]
6. Witness To The Terror
Smoke so thick you start to choke Among the ruin the dogs of war You feel the end drawing near Air raid sirens wailing in your ears
[Pre-Chorus] But you hear them When it strikes, it's too late Now you see them Burning bodies squirming, screaming Staring in your face
[Chorus] Witness to the terror Life appearing from the shelter The lone vulture last survivor Life is tasting bitter
Search the earth Look around Hopeless case There is none to be found Save your breathe Final plight Suicide You never get it off your mind
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
Kneeling down Final sight Twitching hand It cuts the ego like a knife Pray for death Pray for light Live in hell Pray to the one that's wrong or right
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
7. Battle Scars
Stitch in time For a dime Passion crime A penny saved is a penny earned Get rich quick Turn your trick Make it quick Another bailbonds court adjourned The rat race Sets the pace Leaves a trace To teach you what you've never learned
[Chorus] The wear and tear Has taken its toll Twelve hundred scars Another years old The wear and tear Has taken its toll Each battlescar The blood runs cold
White or black The meat rack On your back But not until the price is paid Mind at ease Aim to please On your knees Cause that's the way the money's made Time slips by To tough to cry You wonder why Your morals have now decayed Pay the dues Black and blues It's what you choose To live life the way you want Familiar face That's the case But no disgrace Your memory they will always haunt Time will tell End this hell What you sell You will someday no longer flaunt
[Chorus]
8. Rape Of The Mind
With the sun sinking slowly And the vultures flying low Out on the streets again With nowhere to go You've taken you last chance And there's nothing left to lose Pull the gun your on the run And caught by the man in blue
[Chorus] Does the punishment fit the crime It's a rape of the mind
Take a look at the rich man At the people that he owns Watch the smile on his face Eviction from their homes Caught for tax evasion On the new he's taken away Out a day later ain't got nothing he wants to say
[Chorus] His money pays for his time It's a rape of the mind
Now the padded cell is waiting And the doctors come to call Shock treatments aren't helping Still your shocked some more Take your mind from you And your freedom in return With the hopes one day A lesson has been learned
[Chorus] Does the punishment fit the crime It's a rape of the mind Rape of the Mind
9. Ticket To Mayhem/4 E.S.
[instrumental]
10. Pistolwhipped
Pistolwhipped
Four cold dark walls closing Gasp for air Prison cell bars Laughing as they stare Scream in vain What a desperate cry Silent echoes The room comes to life
[Pre-Chorus] Contemplate plan to escape Vision of breaking out Chance to flee Free from the arms of the law
[Chorus] Pistolwhipped Pistolwhipped Pistolwhipped Pistolwhipped
Footsteps keys ring Music to the ear No more waiting Chance in hell is here Beams of light shine Knock'em on the floor Must break free now Open cell block door
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
Fence is near Scream as the sirens sound Chase begins, blood pumping The heart pounds Cross a field Taste freedom Legs in pain Crushing blow Butt of a gun meets your brain
[Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
