Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one

Don't forget, my son

To include eveyone

Tuck you in, warm within

Keep you free from sin

Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping you pillow tight

Exit: light

Enter: night

Take my hand

We're off to never never land

Something's wrong, shut the light

Heavy thoughts 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

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

Exit: light

Enter: night

Take my hand

We're off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep

Pray the lord my soul to keep

If I die before I wake

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 you 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

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 blamed

Do

Do my work

Do my dirty work, scapegoat

Do

Do my deeds

For you're the one who's shamed

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

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 took you here

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 reasoned alibis

I'm inside

Open your eyes

I'm you

Sad but true

 

 

Holier Than Thou

No more!

The craps 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

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 somethig 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 the basis of your own

Burn your bridges build them back with wealth

Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou

You are

Holier than thou

You are

You know not

 

 

The Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth

And quikly 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

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

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 the unforgiven

You labeled me

I'll label you

So I dub the unforgiven

 

 

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 the dust in throat I crave

Only knowledge will I save

To this game you stay a slave

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 throne

I adapt to the unknown

Under wandering stars I have 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

Rover Wanderer

Nomad Vagabond

Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere

I'm to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll never mind anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home

But I'll take my time anywhere

Free to speak my mind anywhere

And I'll take my find anywhere

Anywhere I roam

Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone

My body lie, but still I roam

Wherever I may roam

 

 

Don't Tread On Me

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'll hear Evermore...

Don't tread on me

Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite

Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting 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'll 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 on 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'll hear Evermore...

Don't tread on me

 

 

Through The Never

All that is, 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

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

Come to be, how it begun

All alone in the family of the sun

Curiosity teasing everyone

On our home, third stone from the sun

All that is, ever

Ever was

Will be ever

Twisting

Turning

Through the never

On through the never

We must go

On through the never

Out of the

Edge of forever

We must go

On through the never

Then never comes

All that is, ever

Ever was

Will be ever

Who we are

Ask forever

Twisting

Turning

Through the never

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

Everyday 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

Everyday for us something new

Open mind for a different view

And nothing else matters

Never cared for they say

Never cared for games they play

Never cared for what they do

Never cared for what they know

And 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 & Man

Off through the new day's mist I run

Off from the new day's mist I have come

I hunt

Therefore I am

Harvest the land

Taking of the fallen lamb

Off thruogh the new day's mist I run

Off from the new day'smist I have come

We shift

Pulsing with the earth

Company we keep

Roaming the land while you sleep

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 is the air cold as steel tonight

We shift

Call of the wild

Fear in your eyes

It's later than you realized

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

I feel I change

Back to a better day

Hair stands on the back of my neck

In wildness is the preservation of the world

So seek the wolf in thyself

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 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

It feeds

It grows

It clouds all that you will know

Deceit

Deceive

Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes

Never your hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries

Broken is the promise, betrayal

The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

Find your peace

Find your say

Find the smooth road in your way

Trust you gave

A child to save

Left you cold and him in grave

It feeds

It grows

It clouds all that you will know

Deceit

Deceive

Decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes

Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries

Broken is the promise, betrayal

The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

I see faith in your eyes

Broken is the promise, betrayal

The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

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

I see faith in your eyes

Never you hear the discouraging lies

I hear faith in your cries

Broken is the promise, betrayal

The healing hand held back by deepened nail

Follow the god that failed

 

 

My Freind 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 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

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

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 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 ot lose

What the hell

What is you think you're gonna find?

Hypocrite

Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within

It suits you fine

Struggle within

Your ruin

Struggle within

You seal your own coffin

Struggle within

The struggling 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

Grabbing for something tou've got to feel

Closing in

The pressure upon you is so real

Struggle within

It suits you fine

Struggle within

Your ruin

Struggle within

You seal your own coffin

Struggle within

The struggling within

Reaching out for something you've got to feel

While clutching to what you had thought was real

What the hell

What is you think you're gonna find?

Hypocrite

Boredom sets into the boring mind

Struggle within

It suits you fine

Struggle within

Your ruin

Struggle within

You seal your own coffin

Struggle within

The struggling within
