Hell is for Heroes

Swimming with piranhas in my gut Feeding on the hand that waves good night For I am also what I have lost And I have it all except mercy So I wait in line And I wait my turn in line You're getting away You're slipping away from me And I know that soon...

I let you go and now I am light As scattered ash My solar plexus pulled to the ground I'm pulled to the ground With my arms in the air Diamond shaped craft above Beckons us to ascend A spectacle of light And fluorescent halogens This lingering pain,...

Always, always burning Always, always burning Always, always burning Always, always burning Watch out birthdays can kill Scar laden wounds That time won't heal His eyes still shine like gold Fall in with the forced perspective Information pre-select...

Seven years wash up behind me And i'm wondering what the time is Its a question of perception And i dont want you with hurt There's an old man in the corner In his sunk and withered features See reflections of my future Will you join me there I'm here...

I've been looking for the questions To the answers i've been fed A banquet of lies Digested with a smile I'm a captive in a hole I'm gracious in defeat Take back the mic Turn off the light i stole You're the captain of your soul The master o...

Get set for the rush, we're on the ascent Thrust ignite acceleration Pressure drop, it's only natural It draws the breath from your lung It draws the breath from your lung Get set for the rush, we're on the ascent Thrust ignite acceleration Pressure dr...

Found my resolve To stick to my ground To stand up and shout But i just can't make a sound Caught by the man You tripped out of line You spoke out of turn But you could not find the words Like a rat in a trap I'll be waiting for you Takin...

Do you have the time to kill Let's go head for the shore Do you have the will to jump Down from the top of the world If it's easier to burn Tie me up on a stake Empty high roads are calling, calling My defences are slowly breaking them down F...

Did you pledge allegience, did you question the code? Did you find out too late that you can't escape the flow? I need a will to live, something worth dying for, A force to fuel the fight, a force to feel. This is the new order, carved with a warm-bloode...

I was hoping I would find you hear But instead I found myself struck dumb By the ease with which you could say no And you can't shoot me my hands are up My hands are where you can see And you can trust me my hands are up My hands are up for all to see...

Give me some kind of hope Give me one honest lie to promote And try to think better days when you choke When blood for profit gain wins your vote And you can fake smiles to make you feel When its time to break the deal Cos it's easy now, i'm easy...

Ghost town, watch it all come back to life With a vengeful smile Into the blood, drowning into the blood Midnight, I heard them whispering Soft ground, be careful where you tread Wasteland, watch it all come down on your knees We'll drown in you now W...

Trusting in our machine, We head for oblivion. [Chorus:] Raising the first alarm Red light,red light This is a warning sound Red light,red light... There's a haze coming down Upon us. Every tribe for themselves United in chaos. [Chorus] Invading...

Taste of mercury, Needles in your eyes, Creating the need, Shaping hearts to kill. Searching for the catch, Settle for some change, Learning to adapt, This is,this is a crack down. A look of contempt. Its just a passing wave... [Chorus:] Models fo...

You've been keeping your distance Infected as I am I'll come wounded and careless Crawling back to you Crumbling down under spotlights For I am weak like you Scent of placenta We're heading back to the source The houselights fade out A perfect warm d...

Under a blanket of fear Down a bottomless pit I've been waiting for this night to open my eyes Wide awake i see in the dark See the fences breaking apart Get together with my old friends Once again we breathe in the air Escape to somewhere far from no...

With open arms, take me in Grip like iron, keep me close You were my puppeteer By your hands I could dance Through your mouth I could sing Without word you cut the strings All at once ushered in A change of guard And you said once and for all Hoist...

We've been abducted My head corrupted Sharp shock commotion Stirs up confusion We failed to notice Blinded by daylight This grand delusion We lost the track I stand corrected Captain arrest me These bones upon me Plastered and fractured Make your...

You are myself in some one else's head Fragments I can no longer fit Touching something Far out of reach, close as I can Is this what you call consciousness Between the chills and fits of rage Come lay your hand upon my head Your ice cold eyes so full...

Once more i get burned Kick out the closed gate Cos i'm ready to join the crowd And i'm ready To unlock the padlock on my mind Twisted and torn Tension that tear My will from my mind Reason from rhyme And i can't decide Which one to feed...

I pull back the blinds, taste the air, Time to return to the warmth they gave you, All looks the same, feel so strange, time passes by In a silent vacumn... I push back the night, step out into the echo, You've been standing in the corner, Always listen...

We better get injected Just to combat our demented ways If you don't care don't panic The after shock is just a passing phase Do you know me my brother Is my blood as bona fide as yours Has the devil got my number Did i get stuck at the get go...

I tried to drown in your flame Somehow i let the fire escape And i can only blame myself A rubber soul is hard to sell You pull me in and push me out You tie me up and tie me down You give me space, i'm locked in chains I want your fire, i need your fai...

Tie the knot Hang to dry Pull the plug Kill teh light Celebrate your demise Funeral of a god Set to win from the start Buy it back, the stolen dream Back the plans, fall apart, hear the sounds Drowning out, tired of this, cover up False demure, faith...

Come down to my level And share this cold with me The space once filled heavy With loss now lies empty I tried to run but i got stung A thousand times rolled into onee The ahce still burns with every word I broke to find the trust again Come...

If I could let you in To greet the vermin inside I'd find a way through your heart And raise some hell again Or maybe just settle down I'd be the one Someone you could remember The trail went sideways You'll find me out some day When the ice has burn...

Head lights approaching, they come to point me out, Helicopters circling, they'll turn me in, Run with the hungry, I get trapped between your teeth, They shine like a razor, a blistering shield, Hidden treasures never found, they where stolen long ago, T...

I've been searching for a getaway A get out clause - a safe escape route If i could shape myself to fit the mould I would break it just to pass through He's the one to make us feel like We belong here on the inside After all it's entertainment Y...

I stared until you were no longer in view Just dust in my eyes A dot on the horizon Blends with the sky Fades out of sight 

Surrounded by a faceless crowd An operational decline, system closure Abandoned aerials all around Scrambling pictures crackling sounds, failing senses Communication cutting out The airwaves must be breaking down, intercepted, call disrupted First step...

Somebody better give me a sting Somebody better make me bleed Fill this vacancy underneath my skin Cos i'm fighting with a thorn in my side I never meant to fall this far I have grown the soul of an enemy But i hold and element of surprise God knows its...

I have died here once before And I will die here once again And they will put me in the ground To be eaten by the things I now feed on Alongside the queen And all of your prayers Will fall on our ears And all of your tears will moisten this mud That ke...
